of 27 September 2010
amending Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(4), and Article 11(3),(5) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) In October 2005, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005 (2) (the ‘original Regulation’), imposed definitive anti-dumping measures on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid (‘TCCA’) originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’). The duty rates ranged from 7,3 % to 42,6 %.
2. Request for a review
(2) In 2009, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by a Chinese exporting producer Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd (‘Heze’ or ‘the applicant’). The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant is 14,1 %.
(3) In its request, the applicant claimed that the circumstances on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. The applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping.
(4) In particular, the request was based on the claim that the TCCA unit cost of the applicant have significantly decreased since the original investigation as:
— the applicant produces the main raw material needed to produce the product under investigation; and,
— the applicant has increased its production capacity,
3. Initiation of a review
(5) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a review, the Commission, on 2 July 2009, initiated an investigation (3) pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping in respect of the applicant.
4. Product concerned and like product
(6) The product concerned by the current review is the same as that described in the original Regulation, trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof, also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the product concerned’), currently falling within CN codes ex 2933 69 80 and ex 3808 94 20.
(7) The product produced and sold on the Chinese domestic market and that exported to the Union have the same basic physical, technical and chemical characteristics and uses and are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
5. Parties concerned
(8) The Commission officially advised the applicant, the Union industry, as well as the representatives of the government of the exporting country, of the initiation of the review.
(9) Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the Notice of Initiation.
(10) In order to obtain the information deemed necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a market economy treatment (MET) claim form and a questionnaire to the applicant and received replies within the deadlines set for that purpose. The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping, and a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.
6. Investigation period
(11) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 (‘IP’).
B. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Market economy treatment (‘MET’)
(12) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of Article 2 of the basic Regulation for those exporting producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, i.e. where it is shown that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product. These criteria are set out in summarised form below:
— business decisions are made in response to market signals, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values,
— firms have one clear set of accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards (IAS) and applied for all purposes,
— there are no significant distortions carried over from a former non-market economy system,
— bankruptcy and property laws guarantee stability and legal certainty,
— currency exchanges are carried out at market rate.
(13) The investigation found that the applicant met all five MET criteria. It was found that during the IP, Heze made its business decisions without any State interference or distortions related to non-market economy conditions. Heze is subject to Chinese bankruptcy and property laws without any derogation. The company has one set of independently audited accounting records and accounting system and its practice was found to be in line with internationally accepted general accounting principles and IAS. Costs and prices were found to reflect market values and exchange rate conversions were carried out at market rates.
(14) Based on the above facts and considerations, the applicant could be granted MET.
2. Normal value
(15) For the determination of normal value it was first established whether Heze’s total volume of domestic sales of the like product was representative in comparison with its total volume of export sales to the Union. In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, domestic sales are considered representative when the total domestic sales volume is at least 5 % of the total volume of corresponding export sales to the Union. The Commission established that TCCA was sold domestically by the applicant in overall representative volumes.
(16) Subsequently, those types of the like product sold on the domestic market by the applicant that were identical and directly comparable to the types sold for export to the Union, were identified.
(17) For each type sold by Heze on the domestic market and found to be directly comparable with the type sold for export to the Union, it was established whether domestic sales were sold in representative volume for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation. Domestic sales of a particular type were considered sufficiently representative when the total domestic sales volume of that type during the IP represented 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the comparable type exported to the Union.
(18) It was also examined whether the domestic sales of each type could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers on the domestic market of each exported type of the product concerned during the IP.
(19) Where the sales volume of a product type, sold at a net sales price equal to or above the calculated cost of production, represented more than 80 % of the total sales volume of that type, and where the weighted average price of that type was equal to or above the unit cost of production, normal value was based on the actual domestic price. This price was calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales of that type made during the IP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not.
(20) Where the volume of profitable sales of a product type represented 80 % or less of the total sales volume of that type, or where the weighted average price of that type was below the unit cost of production, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, which was calculated as the weighted average price of only the profitable domestic sales of the type in question made during the IP.
(21) Wherever domestic prices of a particular product type sold by Heze could not be used in order to establish the normal value, another method had to be applied. In this regard, the Commission used constructed normal value. In accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, normal value was constructed by adding to the manufacturing costs of the exported types a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses (‘SG&A’) and a reasonable margin of profit. Pursuant to Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation, the amounts for SG&A and profit margin were based on the average SG&A and profit margin of Heze sales in the ordinary course of trade of the like product.
(22) In line with the methodology used in the original investigation, the cost of manufacturing was calculated for two types of products. Taking into account the information provided by the applicant, one cost of manufacturing was calculated for granules and tablets and a second one for powder.
3. Export price
(23) As the product concerned was exported directly to independent customers in the Union, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, i.e. on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable for the product when sold for export to the Union.
4. Comparison
(24) The average normal value and the average export price for each type of the product concerned were compared on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. For this purpose, adjustments for transport costs, ocean freight and insurance costs, handling, credit costs, and bank charges were made where applicable and justified. Furthermore, it was found that VAT was partially refunded when the product concerned was sold for export to the Union. Consequently, the VAT payable on domestic sales was adjusted accordingly pursuant to Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation.
(25) With regard to the packing cost allowance, the applicant claimed an allowance in respect of packing expenses for sales in both the Chinese and the Union markets. The verification showed that those costs were equally included in the cost of production of the product regardless of whether it was to be sold domestically or for export. Therefore, the allowance claimed was not accepted either in the domestic or in the export market.
5. Dumping Margin
(26) As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison showed the existence of dumping.
(27) The dumping margin of Heze expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Union-frontier price was found to be 3,2 %.
C. LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES
(28) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances which were found to exist could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature.
(29) The applicant provided full cooperation in this interim review and the data collected and verified allowed for the establishment of a dumping margin based on its individual export prices to the Union. The result of this calculation indicates that the continued application of the measure at its current level is no longer justified.
(30) Evidence obtained and verified during the investigation showed a reduction in the level of dumping explained by the reduction of the company cost structure. The main factors to trigger the reduction in the applicant’s cost structure are the in-house production of the main raw material and the expansion in the applicant’s production capacity.
(31) It was also found that since the original investigation, Heze’s export prices to all markets increased. In particular, export prices to the Union are in line with the company’s export prices to other third countries. Evidence collected on spot showed that the company has many Union customers with similar price levels. The consistent market behaviour of the applicant shows that the changes in circumstances are of a lasting nature.
(32) In the light of the above, it is therefore considered that the circumstances that led to the initiation of this review are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future in a manner that would affect the findings of the current review. Therefore it is concluded that the changes are considered to be of a lasting nature and that the application of the measure at its current level is no longer justified.
D. ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
(33) In the light of the results of this review investigation, it is considered appropriate to amend the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of the product concerned from Heze to 3,2 %,
The entry concerning Heze Huayi Chemical Co. Limited, in the table in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005, shall be replaced by the following:
‘PRC Heze Huayi Chemical Co. Limited 3,2 % A629’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 5 December 1972 amending the second Commission Directive of 18 November 1971 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (73/47/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to the Council Directive of 20 July 1970 (1) on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs, as amended by the Directive of 20 July 1972 (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof;
Whereas on 18 November 1971 the Commission adopted the second Directive (3) establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs;
Whereas Part 1 of the Annex to that Directive provides for a method of determining moisture which can be applied inter alia to the analysis of animal and vegetable fats and oils;
Whereas moisture in animal and vegetable fats and oils is to be determined as from 1 January 1974 by another method which was fixed by the fourth Commission Directive establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs;
Whereas therefore the obligation to apply the method of determining moisture as specified in the second Directive for the analysis of animal and vegetable fats and oils should be suspended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the Opinion of the Standing Committee for Animal Feedingstuffs;
The second Commission Directive establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs is amended as follows:
The second sentence of the first subparagraph of point 1, Part 1 of the Annex is replaced by the following:
"It does not cover the analysis of milk products as straight feedingstuffs, the analysis of mineral substances and mixtures composed predominantly of mineral substances, the analysis of animal and vegetable fats and oils or the analysis of the oil seeds and oleaginous fruit defined in Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC (1) of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats."
The Member States shall put into force not later than 1 January 1973 the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions in order to comply with the provisions of this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2242/88(2), and in particular Articles 2(2) and 9(5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for a system of production aid for certain products processed from fruit and vegetables; whereas the main aim, in adopting that Regulation, was to enable Community products which are of particular importance to the Community's Mediterranean regions to be sold at competitive prices in relation to products from third countries;
Whereas cherries preserved in syrup qualify under the said aid system; whereas experience has shown, however, that the aim referred to above has not been achieved in the case of sour cherries; whereas the prices recorded in trade show that some varieties of cherries do not require aid for processing; whereas the aid granted in respect of those products has not achieved the aid scheme's aim and should therefore be discontinued;
Whereas the marketing of certain processed cherries makes it difficult to dispose of Community produce, which has to compete with large quantities imported from third countries at lower prices; whereas the minimum-price arrangements provided for in the market organization should be made to apply to imports of those products;
Whereas frozen cherries, whether or not containing added sugar, are marketed both stoned and unstoned, which means that there are major price differences between the various products; whereas it is therefore necessary to introduce different minimum prices,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1.In Part A the following shall be deleted:
´ex 2008 60 51 ex 2008 60 59 ex 2008 60 61Cherries in syrup' ex 2008 60 69 2.Part B is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1988/89 marketing year for cherries in syrup.
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 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2), the refund certificates are valid from the date of receipt of the application to the end of the fifth month following the month in which the production refund application was received.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 of 29 June 2001 fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry(3) fixes the production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 at EUR 33,936/100 kg net and limits the validity of the refund certificates to 30 September 2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between operators using the refund certificates by 30 September 2001 and those using them after that date.
(3) In order to allow the operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using a refund certificate applied for in July 2001, the amount of the production refund should be established for certificates applied for in July when the basic product qualifying for the production refund is processed after 30 September 2001. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001, which limits the term of validity of these refund certificates, should therefore be repealed.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted where the basic product is processed after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the refund certificates applied for before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to certificates applied for on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 is amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 1: "Where the basic product qualifying for the production refund fixed in the first paragraph is processed after 30 September 2001, the production refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net."
2. Article 2 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall apply to refund certificates applied for on or after 1 July 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
COMMISSION DECISION of 7 December 1978 approving aids from the Kingdom of Belgium to the coal-mining industry during 1978 (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic) (79/24/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the Belgian Government has informed the Commission pursuant to Article 2 of the abovementioned Decision of the financial measures which it intends to take during 1978 in order to give direct or indirect support to the coal-mining industry ; whereas, of these measures, the following aids qualify for approval pursuant to that Decision: >PIC FILE= "T0019667">
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
Whereas, of the investment aid of Bfrs 288 78 million, 281 70 million will go to the Campine coalfield and 7 78 million to the Southern coalfield ; whereas this aid covers the depreciations in the Campine coalfield, so that it can maintain production of coking coal, which is important to the Belgian steel industry;
Whereas the investment aid for the Southern coalfield enables it to carry out the most essential repairs so as not to jeopardize the technical safety of the collieries;
Whereas the Belgian investment aid is therefore compatible with the provisions of Article 7 (1) of the Decision;
Whereas the aid totalling Bfrs 5 916 76 million to cover operating losses is paid to the two Belgian coalfields for different reasons. The aid paid to the Campine coalfield will almost make up the difference between costs and returns. This almost complete covering of the difference between costs and returns is necessary, because the coalfield has to supply the Belgian steel industry with coking coal and must therefore maintain its output;
Whereas the purpose and amount of aid granted to cover losses in respect of the Campine coalfield therefore comply with the provisions of subparagraph 2 of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (3) of the Decision;
Whereas, on the other hand, the Southern coalfield should be granted aid in respect of pit operating losses to cover about 80 % of the difference between costs and returns, so that the proposed closure of this coalfield by 1980 can take place without serious economic and social disturbances in the redeployment of the redundant miners ; whereas in 1978 one pit will be closed in this coalfield, affecting 341 miners;
Whereas the purpose and type of the aids to cover pit operating losses of the Southern coalfield are therefore compatible with the provisions of subparagraph 1 of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (2) of the Decision;
II
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of the Decision, all other measures to assist current production in 1978 must, be taken into consideration for an examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas, on this basis of assessment, the total amount of aid proposed is 249 100 000 European units of account, i.e. 35 759 European units of account per tonne ; whereas this figure is exceptionally high compared with that for the other Member States of the Community;
Whereas the following observations can be made on the compatibility of the proposed current production aids with the proper functioning of the common market: - owing to the large stockpile, there will be no supply difficulties in 1978,
(1) OJ No 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1. - the closure of one unprofitable pit will result in rationalization and the concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest,
- industrial consumers of coal will not receive aid in 1978 as a result of the prices of Belgian coking coal and steam coal;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the aids proposed in 1978 for the Belgian coal-mining industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this also applies when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof ; whereas the Commission must therefore be informed in particular of the amounts of these payments and of the manner in which they are apportioned,
The Kingdom of Belgium is hereby authorized in respect of the calendar year 1978 to grant aid totalling Bfrs 6 205 400 000 to the Belgian coal-mining industry.
The amount of Bfrs 6 205 400 000 provided in respect of the calendar year 1978 is apportioned as follows: 1. grant of an investment aid of Bfrs 288 800 000, apportioned between the two coalfields as follows: >PIC FILE= "T9001313">
2. grant of an aid to cover losses of Bfrs 5 916 600 000, apportioned between the two coalfields as follows: >PIC FILE= "T9001314">
The Belgian Government shall notify the Commission by 31 March 1979 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision and in particular of the amount of the payments made and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.

Whereas production of the products referred to in this Regulation is at present inadequate or non-existent within the Community and producers are thus unable to meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas it is in the Community's interest in certain cases to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties only partially, particularly because of the existence of Community production, and in other cases to suspend them completely;
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in accurately assessing the development of the economic situation in the sectors concerned in the near future, these suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of Community production,
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the tables appearing in the Annexes shall be suspended at the level indicated in respect of each of them.
These suspensions shall apply from 1 October to 31 December 1991.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3270/91 of 8 November 1991 making imports of Atlantic salmon subject to observance of the minimum price
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3571/90 (2), and in particular Article 24 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in view of the risk of a disturbance of the Community market caused by imports of Atlantic salmon, the Commission adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1658/91 establishing arrangements for retrospective Community surveillance in respect of imports of Atlantic salmon (3);
Whereas these arrangements have revealed that Community imports of Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 and ex 0303 22 00 have been taking place at abnormally low prices; whereas the Community market in these products is liable in consequence to be severely disrupted thus jeopardizing the objectives of Article 39 of the Treaty, in particular with regard to producers earnings;
Whereas, given the foreseeable volume of imports and their prices, there is reason to fear that this situation will persist or become worse in the coming months; whereas, in order to avoid this prospect, imports of the products in question should be made subject to observance of a minimum import price,
1. The release for free circulation in the Community of Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 and ex 0303 22 00 shall be subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price must be no less than the minimum import price given in the Annex hereto.
2. This Regulation shall not apply to products which are proved, on its entry into force, to have already left the supplier country and to have no possible destination other than the Community.
3. Interested parties shall furnish proof, to the satisfaction of the competent customs authorities, by means of all customs and transport documents, that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1, or, where appropriate, those referred to in paragraph 2, have been met.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 29 February 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 as regards the level of the application fee and of the examination fee payable to the Community Plant Variety Office
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights (1), and in particular Article 113 thereof,
After consulting the Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 (2) sets out provisions concerning the level of the application fee payable to the Community Plant Variety Office (‘the Office’) for the processing of applications for grant of a Community plant variety right.
(2) Based on the experience gained by the Office concerning the cost linked with the processing of applications for grant of Community plant variety rights which are not valid, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of the application fee retained by the Office.
(3) Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 and Annex I thereto set out the level of the fees for arranging and carrying out the technical examination of a variety being the subject of an application for a Community Plant Variety right payable to the Office, ‘the examination fee’.
(4) As regards the technical examination of varieties for which material with specific components has to be used repeatedly for the production of material, experience has shown that the cost for that examination may greatly vary from one case to another. The fee for the technical examination should cover the cost for the technical examination of the variety and for each specific component of the variety. No maximum amount should therefore be fixed as regards the fee for the technical examination in such cases.
(5) The experience gathered concerning the technical examination further shows that the total amount of the examination fees charged by the Office does not cover the total amount of the fees to be paid by the Office to the Examination Offices. The fees charged by the Office should, however, in principle cover the fees paid by it. The fees set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 should therefore be raised. At the same time the cost groups set out in that Annex should be simplified.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Community Plant Variety Rights,
Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 is amended as follows:
(1) In Article 7, paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:
(2) In Article 8, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(3) Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation No 158/67/EEC (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3817/85 (4), determined the coefficients of equivalence between the qualities of cereals offered on the world market and the standard quality for which the threshold price is fixed;
Whereas, for some time, buck wheat from the People's Republic of China, has been on offer and this quality is not listed in the Annex to Regulation No 158/67/EEC;
Whereas, with a view to determining cif prices, it is necessary to fix a coefficient of equivalence for that quality taking into account the standard Community quality on the one hand, and the difference in price and characteristics between that quality and the qualities listed in the Annex to Regulation No 158/67/EEC on the other;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 910/87 (6), lays down the use of the ECU within the Common Agricultural Policy; whereas from now on the values given in the Annex should be expressed in ECU, by multiplying the values in units of account fixed in Regulation No 158/67/EEC by the coefficient 1,208953;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

(89/409/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 115 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1, 2 and 5 thereof,
Whereas on 5 June 1989, the Italian Government applied for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in certain third countries other than the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States (2) and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas by its decision of 30 June 1989, the Commission authorized the Italian Republic, pursuant to Article 115 of the Treaty, to apply until 30 June 1990 certain protective measures in respect of bananas originating in the third countries listed below; whereas under this decision applications to import such bananas put into free circulation in the other Member States are subject to the lodging of a security;
Whereas the Italian Government has stated that the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt intra-Community surveillance measures in the past still prevail, namely the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which Italy applies in respect of direct imports of fresh bananas originating in certain third countries other than the ACP States in order to attain the objective laid down in Protocol 4 to the LomĂŠ Convention;
Whereas, without prejudice to a later examination of the situation, it is therefore necessary to authorize the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1990 to imports of the products in question; whereas acceptance of import applications submitted under the surveillance system must be made subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1 of the Commission Decision of 30 June 1989 referred to above, authorizing Italy to apply protective measures to bananas originating in the third countries in question,
1. The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1990 to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in the third countries listed in the Annex and put into free circulation in the other Member States, in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC.
2. The acceptance of import applications shall be subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1 of the Commission Decision of 30 June 1989, authorizing Italy to apply protective measures to bananas originating in the third countries listed in paragraph 1.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 724/97 of 22 April 1997 determining measures and compensation relating to appreciable revaluations that effect farm incomes (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 724/97 stipulates that the Member States can grant aid to farmers to offset appreciable revaluations; whereas such compensatory aid is to be granted on the terms laid down in that Regulation and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 805/97 of 2 May 1997 laying down detailed rules for compensation relating to appreciable revaluations (2);
Whereas the compensatory aid is to be determined in accordance with Articles 4, 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 724/97 and is to comprise a principal amount and, where applicable, supplementary amounts pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of that Regulation;

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 Articles 144(1) and 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The world market prices for raw cane sugar have been at a constant high level since the beginning of the 2010/2011 marketing year. Forecasts of world market prices based on the New York's sugar futures exchange market for the terms of March, May and July 2011 further indicate a constant high world market price.
(2) The forecasted EU sugar balance for the 2010/2011 marketing year identifies a negative difference of 0,2 million tonnes between utilisation and what should have been available. The cumulated negative difference between availability and utilisation over the last two marketing years, which is estimated at 0,6 million tonnes, would result in the lowest level of ending stocks since the implementation of the 2006 reform. Any further shortfall of imports threatens to disrupt the availability of supply of the European Union's sugar market and increase EU internal sugar market price.
(3) Pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (2), imports for CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318, 09.4319 and 09.4320 shall be subject to an in-quota rate of 98 EUR per tonne. Given the high level of world market prices for raw cane sugar, importing raw cane sugar for refining at an in-quota rate of 98 EUR per tonne is becoming uneconomical and risks disrupting the availability of supply on the European market.
(4) Considering that the situation is likely to continue, the in-quota rate of 98 EUR per tonne should be suspended for the remaining period of the 2010/2011 marketing year. It is accordingly appropriate to provide for the possibility for all interested operators to apply for licenses for the CXL concession at zero rate of import duties from 1 December 2010 until 31 August 2011.
(5) Import licences, which were issued before 1 December 2010 for the CXL quotas, should remain valid under the conditions applicable during the application period. However, to protect their legitimate expectations, the concerned operators should have the possibility to return unused or partly used import licences to the competent authority without incurring the penalty provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009.
(6) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
1. By way of derogation from Article 3(1) and the second paragraph of Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009, the import duty for CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318, 09.4319 and 09.4320 shall be reduced to zero until 31 August 2011.
2. Licenses for the CXL concession sugar, that were issued before 1 December 2010 may continue to be used under the conditions valid at the time those licenses had been applied for. Alternatively, they may be returned, in which case the penalty provided in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 shall not apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 December 2010.
This Regulation shall expire on 31 August 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 September 2008
concerning the non-inclusion of dicloran in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2008) 5086)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/744/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes dicloran.
(3) For dicloran the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For dicloran the rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted on 22 July 2005.
(4) The Commission examined dicloran in accordance with Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 20 May 2008 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, it was concluded, taking into account comments received from Member States, that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular on workers, because the exposure is greater than 100 % of the AOEL. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member States in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of dicloran and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forwards by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing dicloran satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Dicloran should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing dicloran are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing dicloran should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing dicloran remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for dicloran in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Dicloran shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing dicloran are withdrawn by 18 March 2009;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing dicloran are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 18 March 2010 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 24 May 2002
fixing the maximum export refund on wholly milled long grain rice in connection with the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2010/2001
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 Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2010/2001(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled long grain rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2010/2001 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 17 to 23 May 2002 at 250,00 EUR/t.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 May 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 12 June 1985
amending Directive 71/118/EEC on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh poultrymeat
(85/324/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Council Directive 71/118/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 84/642/EEC (5), lays down the hygiene conditions under which fresh poultrymeat must be produced in slaughterhouses and cutting plants; whereas that Directive provided for health inspections to be carried out; whereas microbiological analyses covering , inter alia, equipment, utensils and carcases constitute a means for achieving an objective assessment of the standard of hygiene;
Whereas microbiological control provides the health inspection service with useful information and so constitutes an effective means of checking and improving the standard of hygiene in establishments;
Whereas the execution of microbiological control in slaughterhouses and cutting plants must be based on the use of harmonized microbiological methods in order to obtain reliable results and to this end a code of good practice should be worked out,
The following section is hereby inserted in Chapter II of Annex I to Directive 71/118/EEC:
'4a (a) The operator or proprietor of the establishment or his representative must conduct a regular check on the general hygiene of conditions of production in his establishment, including by microbiological controls in accordance with the fourth subparagraph.
These controls should cover utensils, fittings and machinery at all stages of production and, if necessary, products.
He must be in a position, upon request from the official service, to inform the official veterinarian or the Commission's veterinary experts of the nature, frequency and results of the controls conducted to this end, together with the name of the investigating laboratory if need be.
The nature of these controls, their frequency, as well as the sampling methods and the methods for bacteriological examination will be stipulated in a code of good hygiene practices to be drawn up under the Article 12a procedure, at least six months before the date referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 2 of Directive 85/324/EEC (1).
(b) The official veterinarian will regularly analyze the results of the controls provided for in (a). He may, on the basis of this analysis, conduct further microbiological examinations at all stages of production or on the products.
The results of these analyses will be written up in a report, the conclusions and recommendations of which will be notified to the operator, who will see to the rectification of shortcomings noted with a view to improving hygiene.
(1) OJ No L 168, 28. 6. 1985, p. 45.'
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive at the latest on the date which will be fixed by the Council when the review of certain national derogations for the refrigeration of carcases, as provided for in Article 16b of Directive 71/118/EEC, takes place.
They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

of 3 October 2002
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 October 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions VIIIc, IX, X, CECAF 34.1.1 (EC waters) by vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France have exhausted the quota allocated for 2003.

(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2006/586/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 16 March 2005 an application from Bio-Oz Biotechnologies Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2006/586/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 30 June 2006.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain (4) on 28 May 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and were finalised on 20 November 2012 in the format of the Commission review report for Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain.
(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(8) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(9) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain as an active substance by 30 November 2013.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 May 2013 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2014 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus — weak strain as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2014 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved the substance or substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the committee set up by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
Imports into the Community of textile products falling within categories 87 and 109 and originating in North Korea shall be subject to annual quantitative limits of 5 tonnes and 10 tonnes respectively.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2011/34/EU
of 8 March 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include flurochloridone as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included flurochloridone.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of flurochloridone.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter the applicant) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) Spain evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 3 November 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on flurochloridone to the Commission on 14 October 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 4 February 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for flurochloridone.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing flurochloridone may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include flurochloridone in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming: the relevance of impurities other than toluene, the compliance of ecotoxicological test material with the technical specifications, the relevance of the groundwater metabolite R42819 (7) and the potential endocrine disrupting properties of flurochloridone.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing flurochloridone to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (8) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of flurochloridone and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning flurochloridone in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
The line concerning flurochloridone in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing flurochloridone as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to flurochloridone are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing flurochloridone as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning flurochloridone. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1) (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing flurochloridone as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing flurochloridone as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 19 December 2011
on a temporary derogation from rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Kenya with regard to tuna loins
(notified under document C(2011) 9269)
(2011/861/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (1), and in particular Article 36(4) of Annex II thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 16 February 2011 Kenya requested, in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, a derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for a period of one year. On 20 September 2011 Kenya submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total quantity of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased and because of the problem of piracy.
(2) According to the information provided by Kenya catches of raw originating tuna are unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations and have led to a decrease in production of tuna loins. In addition, Kenya has pointed out the risk involved due to piracy during the supply of raw tuna. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Kenya to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period.
(3) To ensure continuity of importations from the ACP countries to the Union as well as a smooth transition from the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement to the Agreement establishing a framework for an Interim Economic Partnership Agreement (EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), a new derogation should be granted with retroactive effect from 1 January 2011.
(4) A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected.
(5) It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007.
(6) Kenya will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied.
(7) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2012. The derogation should therefore apply until 31 December 2011. Whilst a derogation is still to be granted in 2011, the overall situation, including the state of ratification of the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, will be reassessed in 2012.
(8) In accordance with Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the automatic derogation from the rules of origin is limited to an annual quota of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the countries having initialled the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi). Kenya is the only country in the region that currently exports tuna loins to the Union. It is therefore appropriate to grant to Kenya a derogation under Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins, quantity which does not exceed the full annual quota granted to the EAC region under the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement.
(9) Accordingly a derogation should be granted to Kenya in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for a period of one year.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of Kenya, the customs authorities of the Member States and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Decision.
(11) In order to allow efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Kenya should communicate regularly to the Commission details of the EUR.1 movement certificates issued.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
By way of derogation from Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and in accordance with Article 36(1)(a) of that Annex, tuna loins of HS heading 1604 manufactured from non-originating materials shall be regarded as originating in Kenya in accordance with the terms set out in Articles 2 to 6 of this Decision.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the products and the quantities set out in the Annex which are declared for free circulation into the Union from Kenya during the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011.
The quantities set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The customs authorities of Kenya shall take the necessary measures to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.
All the EUR.1 movement certificates they issue in relation to those products shall bear a reference to this Decision.
The competent authorities of Kenya shall forward to the Commission a quarterly statement of the quantities in respect of which EUR.1 movement certificates have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates.
Box 7 of EUR.1 movement certificates issued under this Decision shall contain the following:
‘Derogation — Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2011 until 31 December 2011.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 October 1988
adjusting the weightings applicable from 1 November 1987 to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities serving in non-member countries
(89/59/EEC, EURATOM, ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of the Officials of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 2339/68 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 2175/88 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 10 October 1987 to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 November 1987 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain non-member countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since the weightings were laid down,
With effect from 1 November 1987 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are hereby adjusted as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the payment of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Communities during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1245/87
of 4 May 1987
introducing temporary Community surveillance prior to importation of certain products originating in Japan
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas on 17 April 1987 the Government of the United States decided to impose a customs duty of 100 % on imports from Japan of certain types of personal computers, colour televisions and electric hand tools;
Whereas those measures are likely to lead to changes in traditional patterns of trade involving an increase in exports to the Community;
Whereas the imports concerned are such as to have a depressive effect on the price level and on the financial performance of the Community industry and are thus likely to cause injury to Community producers of like and competing products;
Whereas therefore it is in the Community interest to introduce a Community surveillance of those imports, in order to gather information as soon as possible on the trend therein;
Whereas, taking into consideration the reasons for the adoption of this measure, it is appropriate to provide for a period of application of six months, subject to review prior to its expiration,
Imports into the Community:
- of personal computers falling within subheading 84.53 ex B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 84.53-31 to 39,
- of electric hand tools falling within subheading 85.05 of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 85.05-11 to 29, 59, 80,
- of colour television receivers falling within subheading 85.15 A III b 2 ex cc) of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 85.15-48,
originating in Japan, are to be subjected to Community surveillance prior to importation in accordance with the procedures set out in Articles 11 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82.
The entry into free circulation in the Community of the products referred to in Article 1 is subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin, with the exception of those products which were already being forwarded to the Community on the date of the entry into force of this Regulation,
Annex II of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 is hereby modified by the insertion in the Common Customs Tariff and NIMEXE code headings of the products referred to in Article 1 followed by the sign (+) in the column 'EUR'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It is applicable for a period of six months.
Before the expiry of this period the Commision will examine the advisability of extending, modifying or repealing this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3675/92 of 18 December 1992 opening compulsory distillation as provided for in Article 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and derogating for the 1992/93 wine year from certain detailed rules for the application thereof
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/92 (2), and in particular Article 39 (9), (10) and (11) thereof,
Whereas the data available at present to the Commission, and in particular those in the forward estimate for the 1992/93 wine year, show that a feature of that year is an imbalance on the market for table wine and wine suitable for yielding table wine; whereas the conditions laid down in Article 39 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for initiating compulsory distillation are therefore fulfilled;
Whereas in view of the prices and the desirable level of availabilities at the end of the year, the distillation of 28 198 000 hectolitres of wine appears necessary in the Community;
Whereas the experience acquired in the 1987/88 marketing year of the option whereby grape must intended for the production after 15 March of products other than table wine may be deducted from the volume to be used for determining the quantity of wine to be delivered for distillation is inadequate for judging the effect of the measure; whereas that option should be made available again in the current marketing year so that its impact can be assessed;
Whereas a large number of small producers of grapes belong to cooperative wineries or producer groups; whereas the articles of association of these organizations are such that in certain production regions the delivery obligation provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 falls on the organization as a whole and in others falls on the producers individually; whereas in consequence there is a danger that the exemption provided for small producers will differ greatly in effect between regions; whereas both this fact and the difficulties that were produced by the introduction of a dual exemption arrangement within regions must be taken into account for the fixing of the minimum quantity for delivery by producers;
Whereas experience has shown that the fulfilment of a producer's obligation through the delivery of wine obtained in a region of production other than that of the production of the said wine-grower has contributed to the imbalance on the market in certain regions; whereas the obligation should be considered as fulfilled only where wine delivered and wine which is the subject of the obligation are obtained from the same region;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 39 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, distillers may either receive aid in respect of the product to be distilled or deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency; whereas the amount of the aid must be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (3);
Whereas the derogation provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 39 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 was extended for one wine year by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/92, whereas the detailed rules relating thereto must be extended for the same period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. Distillation as provided for in Article 39 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 is hereby decided on for the 1992/93 wine year.
2. The total quantity of table wine to be distilled shall be 28 198 000 hectolitres.
3. The quantities to be distilled in the regions as referred to in Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 (4) shall be as follows:
- Region 1: 0 hectolitres,
- Region 2: 0 hectolitres,
- Region 3: 3 821 000 hectolitres,
- Region 4: 15 546 000 hectolitres,
- Region 5: 1 337 000 hectolitres,
- Region 6: 6 288 000 hectolitres,
- Region 7: 1 206 000 hectolitres.
4. Region 6 as referred to in paragraph 3 shall be divided into two parts as follows:
- Part A:
consisting of the Regions of Asturias, the Balearic Islands, Cantabria and Galicia and the provinces of GuipĂşzcoa and Vizcaya,
- Part B:
consisting of any territory in Region 6 not included in Part A.
The quantities to be distilled in the abovementioned parts of Region 6 shall be as follows:
- Part A: 0 hectolitres,
- Part B: 6 288 000 hectolitres.
By way of derogation from Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 producers may deduct from the volume indicated in the first paragraph of that Article quantities of grape must intended for the preparation of products other than table wine not yet processed by 15 March, provided that they undertake to process them by 31 August. If such processing has not taken place by the latter date, producers must deliver for compulsory distillation in the form of wine a quantity resulting from the application of the percentage provided for in Article 8 to the quantity of unprocessed must, plus 20 %. That quantity must be delivered by the date fixed by the competent national authority pursuant to Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88.
By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 the quantity of table wine below which producers are exempted from the obligation to deliver shall be five hectolitres except for producers in the regions indicated in the first indent in the second subparagraph of Article 7 of that Regulation, for whom it shall be 25 hectolitres.
Without prejudice to the application of Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, the buying-in prices for table wine to be delivered for compulsory distillation shall be ECU 0,65 per % vol alcohol and per hectolitre for table wine of type A I, R I and R II.
The aid for which the distiller may qualify, as against the prices laid down in Article 4, shall be:
(a) where the product obtained from distillation complies with the definition of neutral spirits as set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89: ECU 0,13 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre;
(b) where the product obtained from distillation is wine spirits complying with the quality criteria laid down by national provisions in force: ECU 0,02 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre;
(c) where the product obtained from distillation where it is obtained from white wine of type A I: ECU 0,02 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre.
1. The price to be paid to the distiller by the intervention agency for the product delivered in accordance with the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 39 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, as against the prices laid down in
, shall be ECU 1,09 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre.
These prices shall apply to neutral spirits complying with the definition as set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89.
2. For spirits other than those referred to in paragraph 1, the prices given in that paragraph shall be reduced by ECU 0,11 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre.
The aid for which fortifiers of wine for distillation shall qualify, as against the prices laid down in Article 4, shall be ECU 0,01 per % vol alcohol per hectolitre.
For the purposes of Article 12 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 the obligation shall be deemed to have been fulfilled only where the wine delivered is obtained from the same region as that of the producer's own production.
In Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88, '1987/88 until 1991/92' is replaced by '1987/88 until 1992/93'.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 429/77 of 14 February 1977 amending Regulation (EEC) No 98/69 laying down general rules for the disposal of frozen beef and veal bought by intervention agencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 425/77 (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, since the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 98/69 of 16 January 1969 laying down general rules for the disposal of frozen beef and veal bought by intervention agencies (3), the system of intervention buying and the system of trade with non-member countries have both been changed;
Whereas in recent years the situation on the market in beef and veal has been marked by massive and continual intervention buying ; whereas the resulting stocks have led to various new measures for disposal of the products concerned;
Whereas such practice and the changes made to the common organization of the market in beef and veal by Regulation (EEC) No 425/77 require that Regulation (EEC) No 98/69 be adjusted, in particular, as regards disposal where market prices are lower than the intervention price,
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 98/69 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 1
1. Disposal of the products held by intervention agencies may be undertaken only: (a) if the price of adult bovine animals recorded in accordance with Article 12 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, adjusted by the coefficient determined in accordance with Article 10 (4) of that Regulation to apply to fresh or chilled meat in the form of carcases, half-carcases or compensated quarters, exceeds the intervention price, or
(b) for the purpose of implementing Article 14 (3) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, or,
in so far as is necessary,
(c) where removal from storage is necessary for technical reasons, or,
(d) where the products are intended for a special use, or
(e) where the products are intended for export.
2. In the cases referred to in (d) and (e) of paragraph 1, special conditions may be laid down to ensure that the products are not used for a purpose other than that for which they were intended and to take account of the particular requirements of such sales.
To ensure that the obligations entered into are fulfilled, such conditions may include the provision of a security which shall be forfeited in whole or in part if the said obligations are not or are only partially fulfilled."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1977. (1)OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 24. (2)See page 1 of this Official Journal. (3)OJ No L 14, 21.1.1969, p. 2.

2007/490/EC: Council Decision of 5 June 2007 abrogating Decision 2003/89/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany
|
13.7.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 183/23
COUNCIL DECISION
of 5 June 2007
abrogating Decision 2003/89/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany
(2007/490/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Decision 2003/89/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Germany. The Council noted that the general government deficit was 3,7 % of GDP in 2002, significantly exceeding the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value, while general government gross debt was expected to reach 60,9 % of GDP, slightly above the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value.
(2) On 21 January 2003, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2), the Council addressed a recommendation to Germany with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end as rapidly as possible and by 2004 at the latest. The recommendation was made public. In view of the unique circumstances created by the Council conclusions of 25 November 2003 and of the ruling of the European Court of Justice of 13 July 2004 (3), the year 2005 should be considered to be the relevant deadline for the correction of the excessive deficit.
(3) In accordance with the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of the Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (4).
(4) Following a provisional notification by Germany in February 2006, actual data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) indicated that the excessive deficit had not been corrected by 2005. Acting in accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, and based on a recommendation from the Commission, the Council on 14 March 2006 immediately took a Decision under Article 104(9) of the Treaty giving notice to Germany to take measures for the deficit reduction judged necessary in order to remedy the situation of excessive deficit as rapidly as possible and at the latest by 2007 (5). Specifically, the Council decided that in 2006 and 2007 Germany should ensure a cumulative improvement in its cyclically-adjusted balance net of one-off and temporary measures by at least one percentage point.
(5) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.
(6) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 8g(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 following the notification by Germany before 1 April 2007 and on the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:
— the general government deficit, after rising from 3,7 % of GDP in 2002 to 4,0 % of GDP in 2003, was reduced to 3,7 % of GDP in 2004, to 3,2 % of GDP in 2005, and finally to 1,7 % of GDP in 2006. This is lower than the target of 3,3 % of GDP set in the February 2006 update of the stability programme and well below the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value one year before the time limit set by the Council,
— in previous years of favourable cyclical conditions, Germany had not created enough budgetary leeway to accommodate the extended slow growth period between 2002 and 2005 with average real GDP growth at 0,5 % per year. A series of tax cuts, carried out until 2005, burdened the budget further, while offsetting measures on the expenditure side were implemented only with some delay. Consolidation measures included restraint in public sector wages, accompanied by a reduction in staff levels, the reform of the public health system in 2004, a reduction of subsidies and public investment, but also the fact that low wage growth in the private sector dampened pension outlays. Furthermore, in 2006, direct taxes, especially those related to profits, yielded stronger revenues than economic developments would have suggested. The cyclically-adjusted balance improved from 2002 onwards, without recourse to significant one-off measures. Particularly in 2006, the estimated structural balance, excluding one-off and other temporary measures, as a percentage of GDP improved by close to one percentage point,
— for 2007, the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast projects that the deficit will be reduced further to 0,6 % of GDP, driven by continuing high GDP growth and, in particular, the increase in the standard VAT rate from 16 % to 19 % as of January 2007. No one-offs are envisaged. In the spring 2007 notification, the German authorities estimated the 2007 deficit at 1,2 % of GDP. Moreover, the Commission services project an improvement in the structural balance as a percentage of GDP amounting to percentage point in 2007. Thus, Germany appears to comply with the recommended improvement in the structural balance of at least one percentage point in 2006 and 2007 in cumulative terms. For 2008, the spring forecast projects, with unchanged policies, a further decline in the deficit to 0,3 % of GDP. This indicates that the deficit has been brought below the 3 % of GDP ceiling in a credible and sustainable manner. With unchanged policies, the structural deficit is expected to decline only marginally in 2008. This should be seen against the need to make progress towards the medium-term objective for the budgetary position, which for Germany is a balanced budget in structural terms,
— after rising from 60,3 % of GDP in 2002 to a peak of 67,9 % of GDP in 2005, the debt ratio stabilised in 2006 and is projected to decline to 65,4 % of GDP in 2007 and to about 63 % by 2008 on a no-policy change basis according to the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, thus coming closer to the reference value more rapidly than projected in the most recent update of the stability programme.
(7) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Germany has been corrected and Decision 2003/89/EC should therefore be abrogated,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Germany has been corrected.
Decision 2003/89/EC is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

concerning the Community contribution to the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 179 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty(1),
Whereas:
(1) Concern is increasing over the devastating impact of the three major communicable diseases HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria on human suffering and on economic and social development, and hence on efforts to reduce poverty, in particular for the most vulnerable sections of the populations of developing countries.
(2) The G8 Okinawa Summit of July 2000 pledged to contribute significantly to the fight against communicable diseases and to break the vicious circle between diseases and poverty.
(3) The Council, in its Resolution of 15 May 2001, and the European Parliament, in its Resolution of 4 October 2001, both endorsed a Community Programme entitled Programme for Action: accelerated action on HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in the context of poverty reduction.
(4) The joint Declaration of 31 May 2001 by the Council and the Commission and the European Parliament Resolution of 4 October 2001 on communicable diseases and poverty welcomed the proposal of the UN Secretary General to establish a Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria (hereinafter called "Global Fund"), and stressed that contributions to the Global Fund should be additional to existing resources.
(5) At the G8 Genova Summit of July 2001, the Commission announced, with the support of the Community and the Member States, its intention to pledge EUR 120 million in response to the appeal of the UN General Assembly.
(6) This fund is being established on behalf of the international donors community and beneficiary countries. It will be administered by the Trustee of the Global Fund in accordance with the purpose of the fund, as stated in its governance and management rules.
(7) The objective of the fund will be to address the communicable diseases HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in developing countries, pursuing a balanced approach with a primary focus on prevention.
(8) The Community agrees to make a contribution of EUR 60 million in 2001 from the Community budget. This contribution will be managed alongside the other contributions to the Global Fund in accordance with the principles of sound and efficient management.
(9) The Commission will propose a legal base for future contributions for the implementation of the Programme for Action on the three communicable diseases including any further contributions to the Global Fund,
1. The Community shall contribute to the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, EUR 60 million for 2001.
2. The contribution to the Global Fund will be made by means of a financing agreement to be concluded between the Commission and the Trustee of the Global Fund.
3. The contribution will be administered following the rules and procedures to be established for the Global Fund, agreed with the Commission and to be annexed to the financing agreement.
1. The Commission will forward all relevant information to the European Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors and will request from the Global Fund all supplementary information that the European Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors may wish to receive as regards the financial operation of the Global Fund. The Commission and the Court of Auditors may carry out any necessary checks and inspections in order to protect the Community financial interest against fraud and irregularities.
2. In 2002 the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and Council a first report on the governance and working methods of the Global Fund. From 2003 onwards, reporting on the implementation of the Programme for Action including the Global Fund shall be part of the Community's annual report on external assistance.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

setting accession compensatory amounts applicable on rice sector products in Portugal in the 1990/91 marketing year
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 3654/90 of 11 December 1990 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts applicable to cereals and during the second stage of the accession of Portugal (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof;
Whereas an intervention price for paddy rice applicable in Portugal in the 1990/91 marketing year was set by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 of 11 December 1990 laying down transitional measures governing the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal (2); whereas setting of this price necessitates application of accession compensatory amounts on paddy, husk, semi-milled and fully milled rice;
Whereas these amounts must be determined as specified in Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3654/90;
Whereas during the first stage the market price of broken price in Portugal has differed only minimally from the Community threshold price; whereas no accession compensatory amount should therefore be applied to this product or products made from it;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The accession compensatory amounts indicated in the Annex to this Regulation shall be applicable in the 1990/91 marketing year to the products listed at (a) in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (3).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 22 February 2007
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(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, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), 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 VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(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) Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) 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.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Council Decision
of 13 May 2003
authorising Germany to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2003/354/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/CEE of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission(2),
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Commission's Secretariat-General on 17 December 2002 the German authorities requested authorisation to continue to apply a derogation which had been granted by Article 1 of Council Decision 2000/186/EC(3).
(2) The other Member States were informed of the request on 17 January 2003.
(3) The derogating measure is intended to exclude expenditure on goods and services completely from the right to deduct VAT when the goods and services are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of the taxable person, or of his employees, or for non-business purposes in general. This measure is a derogation from Article 17 of Directive 77/388/EEC, as amended by Article 28f of that Directive and is justified by the need to simplify the procedure for charging VAT; it affects the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage only to a negligible extent.
(4) The authorisation expired on 31 December 2002, although the legal situation and the facts which justified application of the simplification measure in question have not changed and continue to exist.
(5) The duration of the new authorisation should however be limited to 30 June 2004. This maximum period will allow the derogation to be evaluated in the light of the ruling on Case C-17/01, which the Court will probably deliver in the course of 2003.
(6) The derogation will not adversely affect the Communities' own resources from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 17(2) of Directive 77/388/EEC Germany is authorised to exclude expenditure on goods and services from the right to deduct VAT when the goods and services in question are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of a taxable person or of his employees, or, more generally, for non-business purposes.
This Decision shall apply until 30 June 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 645/2003
of 10 April 2003
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 32/82(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/2000(4), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/2000(6), and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92(8), lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products.
(3) It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below.
(4) With regard to live animals, for reasons of simplification export refunds should no longer be granted for categories with insignificant trade with third countries. Moreover, in light of the general concern of animal welfare, export refunds for live animals for slaughter should be limited as much as possible. Consequently, export refunds for such animals should only be granted for third countries which for cultural and/or religious reasons traditionally import substantial numbers of animals for domestic slaughter. As to live animals for reproduction, in order to prevent any abuse export refunds for pure-bred breeding animals should be limited to heifers and cows of no more than 30 months of age.
(5) Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 0206 and on some other prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 1602 50 10.
(6) In view of the wide differences in products covered by CN codes 0201 20 90 97/00 and 0202 20 90 91/00 used for refund purposes, refunds should only be granted on cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one third.
(7) In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund should be set to cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States.
(8) In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offal shown in the Annex under CN codes 1602 50 31 to 1602 50 80, the Community presence of international trade may be maintained by granting a refund corresponding to that at present available.
(9) In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since the Community's share of world trade is not significant.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(10), establishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the purposes of export refunds.
(11) In order to simplify customs export formalities for operators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be brought into line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.
(12) Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50 should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(11), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 444/2003(12).
(13) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(13), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(14), Council Directive 94/65/EC(15) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(16), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(17), respectively.
(14) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(15) The negotiations on the adoption of additional concessions, held within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and the associated central and eastern European Countries, aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market in beef and veal. On this background, Slovakia should be removed from the list of destinations giving rise to the grant of a refund. The abolition of refunds may not, however, lead to the creation of a differentiated refund for exports to other countries.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted and the amount thereof and the destinations shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 485/2014
of 12 May 2014
approving the active substance Bacillus pumilus QST 2808, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Implementing Decision 2011/253/EU (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 3 December 2010 an application from AgraQuest Inc., now Bayer CropScience, for the inclusion of the active substance Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Implementing Decision 2011/253/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 8 May 2012.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (4) on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 on 26 July 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 20 March 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for Bacillus pumilus QST 2808.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Bacillus pumilus QST 2808.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance Bacillus pumilus QST 2808, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 as an active substance by 28 February 2015.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 August 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 29 February 2016 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing Bacillus pumilus QST 2808 as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 29 February 2016 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 September 2014.
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 a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of the Officials of the European Communities and the conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2963/95 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EC) No 577/96 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 July 1994 to the remuneration of officials serving in third countries, payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 August 1994 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain third countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down,
With effect from 1 August 1994 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in third countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are adjusted as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the month preceding the date referred to in the first paragraph.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 74 and Article 78(1) and (2), in conjunction with Article 218(5), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 439/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) provides that the European Asylum Support Office shall be open to the participation of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland as observers.

Commission Decision
of 13 July 2001
concerning draft national provisions notified by the Kingdom of the Netherlands on limitations on the marketing and use of creosote
(notified under document number C(2001) 1911)
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2001/599/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95(6) thereof,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
1. Community legislation
(1) Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/77/EC(2), provides for the prohibition and restriction of the use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. Directive 76/769/EEC is regularly amended to include in its Annex additional substances which are dangerous to man and the environment.
(2) Directive 94/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) amended Directive 76/769/EEC to harmonise among other things the use and marketing of creosote and similar coal-tar distillates, as well as preparations containing them, by limiting the content of one specific component, Benzo[a]pyrene (hereinafter B[a]P), and water extractable phenols when used for wood treatment (point 32 in the Annex to Directive 94/60/EC). The limit for B[a]P is fixed at a maximum of 50 ppm (= 0,005 %) by mass and the limit for water extractable phenols is fixed at a maximum of 3 % (= 30 g/kg) by mass. Wood treated with creosote or preparations containing creosote not respecting those limits may not be placed on the market.
(3) However, by derogation Directive 94/60/EC allows for the use of creosote and preparations containing creosote with up to 500 ppm (= 0,05 %) B[a)P by mass and water extractable phenols up to 30 g/kg for wood treatment in industrial installations. Such products may not be sold to the general public and containers have to be labelled with the phrase "For use in industrial installations only". Wood treated this way and placed on the market for the first time can only be used in industrial and professional applications, except in certain cases where its use is excluded, for exemple inside buildings, in contact with products intended for human or animal consumption, in playgrounds and in other outdoor places for public pleasure or where there is a risk for contact with skin. Old treated wood commercialised for a second time can be used irrespective of the creosote-type applied except in the cases mentioned before.
2. Existing national provisions in the Netherlands
(4) The Netherlands had already obtained derogation from the Commission to apply national legislation that existed before the Community Directive was adopted. The relevant request under Article 95(4) (ex-Article 100a(4)) received approval in Commission Decision 1999/832/EC(4).
(5) The differences between the existing Community legislation and the national legislation in the Netherlands that was approved through the Commission Decision is summarised in the following table:
>TABLE>
(6) In summary, the existing Dutch provisions are more restrictive in several aspects:
- the B[a]P content of creosote is not permitted in the range of 50 to 500 ppm for the use in industrial installations,
- wood preservation has to be performed according to a specific technique (pressure/vacuum) in special installations,
- in certain cases, the use of creosote is excluded for wood preservation, even if its B[a]P content is below 50 ppm.
3. Existing national provisions in other Member States
(7) In addition to the Netherlands, three other Member States (Germany, Denmark and Sweden) held the opinion that the level of protection for human health and the environment guaranteed by the Community Directive was insufficient and also requested, pursuant to Article 95(4) of the Treaty, to be authorised to maintain instead more restrictive national legislation. The various national measures, although all more restrictive than the Community measures in certain aspects, are not identical.
(8) All of the Member States requesting derogation, except for the Netherlands, where indeed a particular geographic situation prevailed, failed to submit evidence that they had major needs or to produce new scientific data demonstrating that the level of the Community Directive was insufficient, in particular with regard to the protection of human health.
(9) This situation changed, when a long-term carcinogenicity study, made by the Fraunhofer Institute became available(5). The Scientific Committee for Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (SCTEE) evaluated the new evidence provided by the study and gave its opinion on the carcinogenicity risks of creosote(6). On the basis of this opinion of the SCTEE (and in the case of the Netherlands also because of a particular geographic situation), the four requesting Member States were authorised to maintain their existing national legislation. In addition, the Commission undertook to revise the existing Community legislation and is currently in the process of finalising the necessary procedures.
4. New draft legislation in the Netherlands
(10) On 25 January 2001, the Commission received a request from the Netherlands according to Article 95(5) of the EC Treaty in order to introduce new national legislation on the use of creosote going beyond the measures provided for under Directive 94/60/EC.
(11) In the new draft legislation, a general administrative regulation amending the Decision on coatings containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under the chemical substances act, for which derogation is requested now, seeks to prohibit the use of creosote-treated wood in direct contact with surface water or ground water irrespective of the B[a]P content of the creosote.
II. PROCEDURE
(12) Directive 94/60/EC was adopted on 20 December 1994. Member States had to adopt the measures necessary to comply with it no later than one year after its adoption, i.e. 20 December 1995, and to apply them from 20 June 1996.
(13) By letter of 9 March 1995, the Netherlands Permanent Representation, in accordance with the former Article 100a(4) of the EC Treaty (now Article 95(4)), requested authorisation from the Commission to maintain the existing national provisions on grounds of further protection of public health, the working environment, and the environment. In Decision 1999/832/EC the Commission approved this request.
(14) By letter of 23 January 2001, the Netherlands Permanent Representation notified the Commission that the Netherlands, in accordance with Article 95(5) of the EC Treaty, intended to introduce further measures regarding creosote going beyond those provided for under Directive 94/60/EC. The Netherlands considers it necessary to introduce such national measures concerning the protection of the environment in connection with a specific problem that arose in the Netherlands after the adoption of Directive 94/60/EC.
(15) By letter of 22 February 2001, the Commission informed the Netherlands authorities that it had received the notification under Article 95(5) and that the six months period for its examination according to Article 95(6) started on 26 January 2001, the day following the one when the notification was received.
(16) By letter of 17 April 2001, the Commission informed the other Member States about the request received from the Netherlands and invited them to submit comments, if deemed necessary, within one month. The Commission also published a notice regarding the request in the Official Journal of the European Communities(7) in order to inform other interested parties of the draft national measures that the Netherlands intends to adopt.
III. ASSESSMENT
1. Consideration of admissibility
(17) The notification submitted by the Netherlands authorities on 25 January 2001 intends to obtain approval to introduce national provisions incompatible with Directive 94/60/EC, which constitutes a harmonisation measure adopted on the basis of Article 95 of the Treaty.
(18) Article 95(5) of the Treaty provides that if after the adoption by the Council or by the Commission of a harmonisation measure, a Member State deems it necessary to introduce national provisions based on new scientific evidence relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment on grounds of a problem specific to that Member State arising after the adoption of the harmonisation measure, it shall notify the Commission of the envisaged provisions as well as the grounds for introducing them.
(19) As required by Article 95(5) of the Treaty, the Netherlands notified the Commission of the actual wording of the provisions that are intended to be introduced, accompanying the request by an explanation of the reasons which, in its opinion, justify the introduction of those provisions.
(20) The notification submitted by the Netherlands on 25 January 2001 in order to obtain approval for the introduction of national provisions derogating from the provisions of Directive 94/60/EC appears prima facie to be admissible under Article 95(5) of the EC Treaty.
2. Assessment of merits
(21) In accordance with Article 95 of the Treaty, the Commission has to ensure that all the conditions enabling a Member State to avail itself of the possibilities of derogation provided for in this Article are fulfilled.
(22) The Commission must therefore assess whether the conditions provided for by Article 95(5) of the Treaty are met. This requires: (a) "new scientific evidence with regard to the protection of the environment or the working environment"; (b) which causes the notifying Member State to consider the introduction of national provisions to be necessary "on grounds of a problem specific to that Member State"; (c) where the problem concerned arose "after the adoption of the harmonisation measure".
(23) In addition, pursuant to Article 95(6) of the Treaty, where it considers that the introduction of such national provisions is justified, the Commission must check whether or not those national provisions are a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States and whether or not they constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market.
(24) It has to be noted that, in the light of the time frame established by Article 95(6) of the Treaty, the Commission, when examining whether the draft national measures notified under Article 95(5) are justified, has to take as a basis "the grounds" put forward by the Member State. This means that, under the Treaty, the responsibility of proving that these measures are justified, lies with the requesting Member State. Given the procedural framework established by Article 95, including in particular a strict six-month deadline for a Decision to be adopted, the Commission normally has to limit itself to examining the relevance of the elements which are submitted by the requesting Member State, without having to seek possible justifications itself.
(25) According to Article 95(6) of the Treaty, third subparagraph, the Commission may when justified by the complexity of the matter and in the absence of danger to human health, notify the Member State concerned that the period of six months for adopting a decision may be extended for a further period of up to six months.
(26) The Netherlands invokes purely environmental reasons as a justification for the request: the continued use of creosote-treated wood for the applications to be prohibited would lead to concentrations of selected polycyclic hydrocarbons in water, soil and sediment that would exceed certain quality standards fixed by the Netherlands authorities. The Netherlands also points out the specific geographical situation, which was confirmed in the earlier Commission Decision.
(27) None of the other Member States, which had earlier obtained derogation has pointed out the concern raised by the Netherlands. Quite on the contrary, in Sweden, the use of wood treated with creosote in professional applications for marine installations is specifically authorised and also, if more than 30 years since treatment have elapsed, non-professional use for applications in permanent contact with damp soil (hence groundwater) and water, for the construction of jetties and other marine installations (hence surface water). There are no specific rules on this matter either in Denmark or in Germany.
(28) The concerns of the Netherlands have never been mentioned during the preparatory work for the revision of Directive 94/60/EC (currently in progress) although they could be of relevance in other Member States as well.
(29) In support of the request, the Netherlands has submitted a large amount of documents that need to be evaluated in detail in order to fully assess whether there is indeed new scientific evidence concerning the protection of the environment regarding a problem specific to the Netherlands that arose after the adoption of Directive 94/60/EC.
(30) The Commission has consulted the SCTEE on the complexity of the matter and the absence of a danger to human health on the basis of a part of the documents submitted by the Netherlands authorities. In its opinion of 12 June 2001(8), the SCTEE has confirmed that the justification of this request is indeed a complex matter and does not involve a danger to human health.
IV. CONCLUSION
(31) In the light of the foregoing it should be concluded that:
- the notification by the Netherlands concerning the introduction of national provisions derogating from Directive 94/60/EC with regards to creosote as submitted on 25 January 2001 appears prima facie to be admissible,
- since the matter is complex and does not involve a danger to human health, it is justified to extend the period within which a Decision must be adopted on the envisaged national provisions for a further period of six months in order to allow for a thorough evaluation of all evidence submitted,
Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 95(6) of the Treaty, the period referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 95(6) within which a Decision must be adopted on the envisaged national provisions notified by the Netherlands notified on 25 January 2001 is extended for a further period of six months.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Commission Decision
of 20 January 2004
authorising the Member States to provide for derogations from the phytosanitary certificate requirement of Council Directive 2000/29/EC in respect of heat-treated wood of conifers originating in Canada
(notified under document number C(2004) 65)
(2004/95/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/116/EC(2), and in particular the second indent of Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/29/EC provides for protective measures against the introduction into the Community from third countries of organisms that are harmful to plants or plant products.
(2) Pursuant to Directive 2000/29/EC, wood of conifers (Coniferales) originating in Canada may not be introduced into the Community, with certain exceptions, unless accompanied by an official phytosanitary certificate as provided for in that Directive.
(3) Directive 2000/29/EC permits derogations from that rule provided that it is established that equivalent safeguards are ensured by means of alternative documentation or marking.
(4) Wood of conifers originating in Canada is currently introduced into the Community. However, phytosanitary certificates are not generally issued in that country.
(5) The Commission has noted on the basis of information supplied by Canada and collected during a mission carried out in that country in September 2002 that an official programme, the Canadian Heat-Treated Wood Products Certification Program (CHTWPCP), has been established by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The CHTWPCP contains an approval and monitoring identification system for heat-treated wood products intended for export to the Community.
(6) The Commission has established that the CHTWPCP is sufficient to ensure that wood is heat-treated over a period of time sufficient to achieve the thermal death of the harmful organisms, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. and its vectors, and thus eliminate the risk of spreading harmful organisms in the Community.
(7) The Commission has further established that each piece of wood is to have a unique kiln-dried - heat-treated (KD-HT) certification mark, recognised by the CFIA, including the registration number of the facility registered and approved by the CFIA to produce, handle or export heat-treated wood in accordance with the specifications set out in the CHTWPCP.
(8) Member States should therefore be authorised to provide for derogations allowing wood to be introduced into the Community when it bears a unique KD-HT certification mark as an alternative to a phytosanitary certificate.
(9) The Commission should request that Canada makes available all technical information necessary to assess the functioning of the CHTWPCP. In addition, Member States should continually assess the use of KD-HT certification marks.
(10) The authorisation of the identification system shall expire on 1 July 2005.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
By way of derogation from Article 13(1)(ii) of Directive 2000/29/EC, Member States are hereby authorised to provide for derogations allowing the introduction into the Community of wood of conifers (Coniferales) listed under CN codes 4407 10 91, 4407 10 93 and 4407 10 98, as set out in Section IX of Part Two of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87(3), originating in Canada, subject to compliance with the conditions set out in the Annex to this Decision.
The Member States shall provide the Commission and the other Member States with information when they have made use of the authorisation granted in Article 1. The Member States of importation shall provide the Commission and the other Member States by 15 March 2005 with information on the number of consignments imported pursuant to this Decision and with a detailed report of the official inspections required pursuant to Article 13a(1)(b) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
1. The Member States shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of all consignments introduced into their territory pursuant to this Decision which do not comply with the conditions set out in the Annex to this Decision.
2. The authorisation granted in Article 1 shall be revoked prior to 1 July 2005 if:
(a) the conditions set out in the Annex to this Decision are shown to be insufficient to prevent the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products;
(b) there are elements which could militate against the proper functioning of the CHTWPCP in Canada.
The authorisation granted in Article 1 shall apply from 1 February 2004. The authorisation shall expire on 1 July 2005.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 9 August 2011
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)phosphate originating in the People’s Republic of China
(2011/498/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Initiation
(1) On 23 July 2010, the European Commission (the Commission) announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2) (the notice of initiation), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation with regard to imports into the Union of tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)phosphate (TCPP) originating in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘country concerned’ or ‘the PRC’).
(2) The proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged on 9 June 2010 by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) (the complainant) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 25 %, of the total Union production of TCPP. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of TCPP from the PRC and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
2. Parties concerned by the proceeding
(3) The Commission officially advised the complainant, other known Union producers, the exporting producers, importers and users known to be concerned as well as their associations, and the representatives of the exporting country, of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing.
(4) In view of the apparent high number of exporting producers and importers, sampling was envisaged in the notice of initiation for the determination of dumping and injury, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation. In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers and importers were asked to make themselves known to the Commission and to provide, as specified in the notice of initiation, basic information on their activities related to the product concerned during the investigation period (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010).
(5) After examination of the information submitted, and given the high number of importers which indicated their willingness to cooperate, it was decided that sampling was necessary with regard to unrelated importers. Whereas, given the limited number of exporting producers that indicated their willingness to cooperate, it was decided that sampling was not necessary with regard to exporting producers.
(6) Six unrelated importers, accounting for 25 % of imports to the Union, agreed to be included in the sample. Two importers, accounting for around 20 % of imports from the PRC and over 80 % of imports of the importers that agreed to be included in the sample, were included in the sample. In accordance with Article 17(2) of the basic Regulation, the parties concerned were given the opportunity to comment on the selection of the sample. No objection was raised with regards to the selection of the sample.
(7) The Commission sent questionnaires to the exporting producers, sampled importers, the Union producers, to all known users in the Union, and to known analogue country producers in the United States of America (USA). Questionnaire replies were received from four exporting producers in the PRC, one analogue country producer, three Union producers, two sampled importers and 35 users in the EU. However, one of the four Chinese exporting producers supplied a highly deficient questionnaire reply, and was subsequently considered as non-cooperating.
(8) In order to allow exporting producers in the PRC to submit a claim for market economy treatment (MET) or individual treatment (IT), if they so wished, the Commission sent claim forms to the exporting producers that made themselves known within the deadlines set out in the notice of initiation. Two (groups of) companies requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation or IT pursuant to Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation should the investigation establish that they did not meet the conditions for MET. One company claimed only IT.
(9) The Commission sought and verified the information deemed necessary for a determination of dumping, resulting injury and Union interest. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
Exporting producers in the PRC
— Albemarle Chemicals (Nanjing), Nanjing, PRC,
— Jiangsu Yoke Technology Co. Ltd, Yixing, PRC;
Related importers in the EU
— Albemarle Europe, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium,
— Shekoy Chemicals Europe BV, Breda, the Netherlands;
Union producers
— ICL-IP Bitterfeld GmbH, Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany,
— LANXESS Deutschland GmbH, Leverkusen, Germany,
— PCC Rokita SA, Brzeg Dolny, Poland.
(10) In view of the need to establish a normal value for exporting producers in the PRC to which MET might not be granted and the exporting producer that requested only IT, a verification to establish normal value on the basis of data from the USA as analogue country took place at the premises of the following company:
— ICL-IP America Inc., St Louis, Missouri, USA.
2.1. Investigation period and period considered
(11) The investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2007 to the end of the investigation period (period considered).
3. Product concerned and like product
3.1. Product concerned
(12) The product concerned is tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)phosphate originating in the PRC currently falling within CN code ex 2919 90 00.
— 2-Propanol, 1-chloro, phosphate (3:1),
— tris(monochloroisopropyl)phosphate (TMCP),
— tris(2-chloroisopropyl)phosphate (TCIP),
— phosphoric acid, tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)ester,
— tris(beta-chloroisopropyl)phosphate,
— 1-chloro-2-propanol phosphate (3:1).
(13) The product concerned is a flame retardant mainly used in the production of polyurethane (PUR) for use in construction and furniture.
3.2. Like product
(14) The investigation has shown that TCPP produced and sold on the domestic market of the PRC and TCPP imported into the Union from the PRC, and that produced and sold on the domestic market of the USA, which served as an analogue country, as well as the TCPP produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and uses. Therefore, these products are considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
4. Preliminary findings and subsequent procedure
(15) On 27 April 2011, the Commission disclosed to interested parties an information document setting out its preliminary findings with respect to this proceeding. Given the need to examine certain aspects of the investigation further, it was considered appropriate not to impose any provisional measures and to continue the investigation. All parties were given the opportunity to submit relevant evidence and comments on the preliminary findings. The parties which so requested were also granted the opportunity to be heard. The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed necessary for its final findings.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(16) By a letter dated 16 June 2011 addressed to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.
(17) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.
(18) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any consideration showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. However, no comments that could alter that decision were received.
(19) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)phosphate originating in the PRC should be terminated without the imposition of measures,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tris(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)phosphate originating in the People’s Republic of China currently falling within CN code ex 2919 90 00 is hereby terminated.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(3) On the 5 of March Italy notified to the Commission the existence of serotype 9 in eastern Calabria and this new epidemiological situation makes that the need of vaccine in this region is now of 1200000 doses of bivalent vaccine (2 and 9) and 500000 doses of monovalent type 2.
(4) Furthermore, on 12 February 2001, Italian authorities informed the Commission of their intention to extend the vaccination campaign to Sardinia in spring 2001.
(5) The amount of vaccine necessary to carry out this campaign in Sardinia is 3000000 doses of monovalent bluetongue vaccine serotype 2.
(6) The total need of Italy to perform these campaigns is therefore of 3500000 doses of monovalent (2) and 1200000 bivalent (2 and 9) vaccine.
(7) 2400000 doses of monovalent (2) vaccine have been already provided to Italy by the Commission, 1700000 initially intended to be used in Calabria, in the frame of Decision 2001/141/CE, and 700000 from the Community bank of 750000 doses established in agreement with Commission Decision 2001/69/EC(5), the remaining 50000 doses of which have been sent to Corsica (France).
(8) Due to the emergency, Italian authorities have directly purchased 1100000 doses of monovalent (2) and 1200000 doses of bivalent (2 and 9) vaccine, with the agreement of the Commission.
(9) The Commission furthermore authorises the Italian authorities to set up a security bank of 100000 doses of monovalent (2) and 300000 doses of bivalent (2 and 9) vaccine, and to purchase directly the vaccine at this end.
(10) At this stage the Italian needs for carrying out the campaign are covered.
(11) Nevertheless, the Community bank has to be restocked with 1000000 doses of monovalent (2) vaccine, in order to face a possible extension of the outbreaks in new regions.
(12) No bluetongue vaccine is produced by the pharmaceutical industry based in the Community, the Onderstepoort laboratory in South Africa being the only laboratory wich may produce that type of monovalent vaccine (attenuated vaccine) with the serotype 2.
(13) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999(6), veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules shall be financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. For financial control purposes, Articles 8 and 9 of that Regulation apply.
(14) The financial contribution from the Community should only be granted if the actions planned are carried out efficiently, and the authorities supply all the necessary information within the time limits laid down.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Community bank of bluetongue vaccine serotype 2 shall be restocked with 1000000 doses of vaccine.
The maximum cost of the measure referred to in Article 1 shall be EUR 100000.
The Director General for Health and Consumer Protection shall be authorised to make arrangements with Onderstepoort laboratory in South Africa for the purchase, storage and air freight to a Member State, of 1000000 doses of monovalent bluetongue vaccine (serotype 2).
Italy will implement in spring 2001 a vaccination campaign against bluetongue in Sardinia and 1200000 doses of the monovalent (2) vaccine initially provided to perform the vaccination in Calabria in the frame of Decision 2001/141/CE will be affected to this campaign.
The Commission may carry out on the spot checks in Italy in collaboration with the competent national authorities to ensure that the program referred to in article 4 has been implemented.
The Commission shall inform the Member States of the outcome of these checks.
The financial contribution of the Community for the program referred to under Article 4 shall be granted subject to:
(a) bringing into force by 1 April 2001 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary for the implementation of the programme,
(b) forwarding a final report by 1 August 2001 at the latest on the technical execution of the programme, accompanied by justifying evidence as to the costs incurred and the results attained,
(c) implementing the programme efficiently, and respecting Community veterinary legislation.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

conferring management of aid on implementing agencies for pre-accession measures in agriculture and rural development in Croatia in the pre-accession period
(2006/658/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on co-ordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/1989 (1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (2), and in particular Article 4(5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Rural Development Programme for Croatia was approved by Commission Decision C(2006) 301 of 8 February 2006, in accordance with Article 4(5) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999.
(2) The Croatian government and the Commission, acting on behalf of the European Community, signed on 29 December 2005 the Multi-annual Financing Agreement (hereinafter MAFA) laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Sapard Programme.
(3) The Republic of Croatia notified the Commission of the completion of all the necessary internal procedures for its conclusion on 6 April 2006, what is the date of entry into force of the MAFA.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 provides that the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 may be waived on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 (3) provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of the said analysis.
(5) The Competent Authority of Croatia has appointed the Directorate for Market and Structural Support in Agriculture, an organisational unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, acting as the Sapard Agency. It will be responsible for implementing the following measures: No 1 ‘Investments into Agricultural Holdings’ and No 2 ‘Improving the Processing and Marketing of Agricultural and Fishery Products’ as defined in the Rural Development Programme that was approved by Decision C(2006) 301; whereas the National Fund, within the Ministry of Finance, has been appointed for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard Programme.
(6) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission analysed the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance and considers that, for the implementation of the aforementioned measures, Croatia complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to the Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to the Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999.
(7) In particular, the Sapard Agency has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: written procedures, segregation of duties, pre-project approval and pre-payment checks, payment procedures, accounting procedures and internal audit.
(8) On 14 March 2006 the Croatian Authorities provided the list of eligible expenditure in conformity with Article 4(1), Section B of the MAFA. This list was partially modified by letter of 11 July 2006. The Commission is called upon to take a decision in this respect.
(9) The National Fund within the Ministry of Finances has implemented the following criteria satisfactorily for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for Croatia: audit trail, treasury management, receipt of funds, disbursement to the Sapard Agency and internal audit.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer on the Sapard Agency and on the National Fund of Croatia the management of aid on a decentralised basis.
(11) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission for measure No 1 ‘Investments into Agricultural Holdings’ and No 2 ‘Improving the Processing and Marketing of Agricultural and Fishery Products’ are based on a system that is not yet fully operating with regard to all relevant elements, it is therefore appropriate to confer the management of the Sapard Programme on the Sapard Agency and on the Ministry of Finances, National Fund, according to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, on a provisional basis.
(12) Full conferral of management of the Sapard is only envisaged after further verifications, in order to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily, have been carried out and after any recommendations the Commission may issue, with regard to the conferral of management of aid on the Sapard Agency, in the subordination of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and on the Ministry of Finances, National Fund, have been implemented.
(13) In order to take into account the requirements of Article 8(1)b, Section A of the MAFA, the expenditures pursuant of this Decision shall be eligible for Community co-finance only if incurred by beneficiaries from the date of this Decision or, if later, the date of the instrument making them a beneficiary for the project in question, except that for feasibility and related studies, provided in all cases it is not paid by the Sapard Agency prior to the date of this Decision.
The requirement of ex ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting for measures No 1 ‘Investments into Agricultural Holdings’ and No 2 ‘Improving the Processing and Marketing of Agricultural and Fishery Products’ by Croatia for in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 is hereby waived.

Directorate for Market and Structural Support in Agriculture, an organisational unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, acting as the Sapard Agency of Croatia, Avenija grada Vukovara 269D, 10000 Zagreb, for the implementation of measures No 1 ‘Investments into Agricultural Holdings’ and No 2 ‘Improving the Processing and Marketing of Agricultural and Fishery Products’ as defined in the Rural Development Programme that was approved by Decision C(2006) 301.
2. The National Fund within the Ministry of Finances, Katančičeva 5, 10000 Zagreb, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for Croatia.

|
Council Regulation (EC) No 2228/2003
of 22 December 2003
terminating the partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of urea originating in Russia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) On 10 May 2001, the Council, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 901/2001(2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of urea originating in Russia. The duty took the form of a variable duty on the basis of a minimum import price (MIP).
2. Initiation
(2) On 13 June 2002, the Commission announced by a notice(3) published in the Official Journal of the European Union (notice of initiation) the initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports into the Community of urea originating in Russia, pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.
(3) The review was initiated on the initiative of the Commission in order to examine the appropriateness of the form of the measures in force, currently an MIP, as it does not differentiate between sales made to related parties and sales made to unrelated parties, or between first sales and successive sales to the Community and it had become apparent that this could lead to enforcement problems. Consequently, the existing measures did not appear sufficient to counteract the dumping which is causing injury.
3. Investigation
(4) The Commission officially advised the importers, the users known to be concerned and their associations, the representatives of the exporting country concerned and the Community producers about the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(5) An association of Community producers, an association of importers, two associations of users, one user and a company representing 10 Italian importers, traders and users made their views known in writing. All parties which so requested within the time limit, and which demonstrated that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted the opportunity to be heard.
(6) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of the measures in force.
B. FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATION
(7) The initiation of an interim review was motivated by the necessity of limiting the risk of duty avoidance. Such duty avoidance can occur in different circumstances. When exporters, currently subject to the measures imposing an MIP, export to the Community, they could be in a position to invoice at a price above the MIP, and subsequently to compensate such a price after customs declaration by an agreement with the importers. This may render the MIP ineffective, as it would mean that the product concerned is effectively still exported below the MIP to the Community. Accordingly, this could lead to subsequent resale prices in the Community which prevent the intended effects of the measure, i.e. to remove the injurious effects of dumping, from being achieved. The substantial risk of price manipulation when duties take the form of an MIP was highlighted by the findings of the European Court of Auditors in its 2000 Annual Report(4). In order to address this problem, it was envisaged to replace the MIP by an ad valorem duty.
(8) Although an ad valorem duty is, in general, considered to be more appropriate to avoid the risk of price manipulation, it was found that in the specific circumstances of the current case the risk of price manipulation is very low since, over a sustained period of time, import prices in general have actually been above the MIP. Therefore, exporters would not have any reason to manipulate prices in the way set out in recital 7 in order to stay competitive. This was also confirmed by the comments made by interested parties which, with the exception of the association of Community producers, considered that the form of the measure should not be changed.
(9) The association of Community producers considered that a specific duty would have been more appropriate to avoid the risk of price manipulation. It also considered that an ad valorem duty would be more effective than an MIP. It was, however, established that in the specific circumstances of the current case the risk of price manipulation is very low. Nevertheless, should the situation of the urea market change and evidence is provided to the Commission that this change increases the risk of price manipulation, appropriate action may be taken. Meanwhile, the Commission will pay particular attention to the import prices of urea originating in Russia and the attention of the customs authorities is drawn to this issue.
(10) It is therefore concluded that, due to the particular and very specific circumstances of the present case, there are currently no reasons to change the form of the measure concerning imports of urea originating in Russia and the current partial interim review should be terminated without any amendment to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 901/2001,
The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of urea originating in Russia, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, is hereby terminated without amending the anti-dumping duty in force.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

on imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species
(notified under document C(2012) 1148)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/137/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/429/EEC of 26 June 1990 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species (1), and in particular Article 7(1), Article 9(2) and (3) and Article 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 90/429/EEC lays down the animal health conditions applicable to intra-Union trade in and imports from third countries of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species. It provides that Member States may authorise importation of such semen only from those third countries which appear on a list drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down therein and accompanied by an animal health certificate, the model of which must correspond to a specimen drawn up in accordance with that Directive. The animal health certificate is to certify that the semen comes from approved semen collection centres offering the guarantees provided for in Article 8(1) of that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2009/893/EC of 30 November 2009 on importation of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species into the Community as regards lists of third countries and of semen collection centres, and certification requirements (2) sets out a list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen. That list is established on the basis of the animal health status of those third countries.
(3) Directive 90/429/EEC, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 176/2012 (3), provides for revised animal health requirements for donor animals of the porcine species and semen as regards brucellosis and Aujeszky’s disease.
(4) Council Directive 2002/60/EC of 27 June 2002 laying down specific provisions for the control of African swine fever and amending Directive 92/119/EEC as regards Teschen disease and African swine fever (4) deleted Teschen disease (porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis) from the list of diseases laid down in Annex I to Council Directive 92/119/EEC of 17 December 1992 introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular disease (5) and consequently by Commission Decision 2008/650/EC of 30 July 2008 amending Council Directive 82/894/EEC on the notification of animal diseases within the Community to include certain diseases in the list of notifiable diseases and to delete porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis from that list (6) that disease was deleted from the list of the compulsorily notifiable diseases within the Union.
(5) In addition, it is necessary to align certain animal health requirements for imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species to the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in particular as regards country freedom of swine vesicular disease and semen collection centre freedom of tuberculosis and rabies.
(6) Accordingly, the model animal health certificate set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 2009/893/EC should be amended to take account of those amendments made to Directive 90/429/EEC and to delete all references to Teschen disease (porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis), country freedom of swine vesicular disease and semen collection centre freedom of tuberculosis and rabies.
(7) There are bilateral agreements concluded between the Union and certain third countries containing specific conditions for the imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the porcine species. Therefore, where the bilateral agreements contain specific conditions and model animal health certificates for imports, those conditions and models should apply instead of the conditions and the model set out in this Decision.
(8) Switzerland is a third country with an animal health status equivalent to that of the Member States. It is therefore appropriate that semen of domestic animals of the porcine species imported into the Union from Switzerland is accompanied by an animal health certificate drawn up in accordance with the models used for intra-Union trade in such semen set out in Annex D to Directive 90/429/EEC, with the adaptations set out in point 3 of Chapter VIII(B) of Appendix 2 of Annex 11 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on Trade in Agricultural Products, as approved by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council, and of the Commission as regards the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation, of 4 April 2002 on the conclusion of seven Agreements with the Swiss Confederation (7).
(9) In the interest of clarity and consistency of Union legislation, Decision 2009/893/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(10) To avoid any disruption of trade, the use of animal health certificates issued in accordance with Decision 2009/893/EC should be authorised during a transitional period.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Council Regulation (EEC) No 4239/88 of 21 December 1988 repealing and replacing Regulation (EEC) No 3590/88 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain prepared or preserved fish, originating in Norway (1989)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4239/88 of 21 December 1988 repealing and replacing Regulation (EEC) No 3590/88 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain prepared or preserved fish, originating in Norway (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway was concluded on 14 May 1973; whereas, following the accession of Spain and Portugal to the Community, an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters was concluded and approved by Council Decision 86/557/EEC (1);
Whereas the said Agreement provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota at reduced rates of duty for certain prepared or preserved fishery products originating in Norway; whereas, therefore, the tariff quota in question should be opened for the period 1 January to 31 December 1989;
Whereas the system of administering the tariff quota should be adjusted and therefore Regulation (EEC) No 3590/88 (2) should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation;
Whereas equal and uninterrupted access to the quota should be ensured for all importers and the rate of levy for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is exhausted; whereas, in the light of the principles outlined above, a Community tariff arrangement based on an allocation between the Member States will preserve the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to match as closely as possible the actual development of the market in the said products, the allocation should follow proportionately the requirements of the Member States calculated with reference to statistics of imports from Norway during a representative reference period and to economic outlook for the relevant quota year;
Whereas, in view of these factors, the initial percentage shares in the quota volume can be set approximately as follows:
(tonnes) Member States 1985 1986 1987 Benelux 11 4 4 Denmark 7 2 7 Germany 22 3 21 Greece 0 0 0 Spain 3 1 1 France 1 604 1 354 1 273 Ireland 0 0 0 Italy 106 309 0 Portugal 0 0 0 United Kingdom 354 161 124 2 107 1 834 1 430 Whereas, during the years under consideration, the products in question were imported only by certain Member States and there were no such imports into the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, initial shares should be allocated to the importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the tariff quota upon imports into those States of the products concerned being notified; whereas these arrangements for allocation will also enable the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff to be ensured;
Whereas, for 1989, maintenance of the quotas for the Member States is necessary bearing in mind that it is impossible for the administration concerned in each Member State to introduce, in 1989, the administrative and technical basis for Community administration of the quota;
Whereas in view of these factors, of market forecasts for the products in question and of the effective use of the quotas opened for 1986 to 1988, the initial percentage shares of the quota volume can be expressed approximately as follows:
Benelux0,40 Denmark0,34 Germany0,86 France78,77 Italy7,73 United Kingdom11,90 Whereas, to accommodate any changes in imports for these products, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between the Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share; whereas to afford importers some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the tariff quota should be fixed at a high level, which in this case could be 54 % of the quota;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is essential that Member States return to the said reserve the whole of the unused proportion of their initial quota and of any drawings made, in order to avoid one part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989 the customs duty on imports of the following products, originating in Norway, shall be suspended at the level and within the limit of the Community tariff quota shown herewith:
Order No CN code Description Quota volume (tonnes) Rate of duty (%) 09.0711 ex 1604 13 90 ex 1604 19 99 ex 1604 20 90 Prepared or preserved fish, including caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs:
Other:
-Sardinella, brisling or sprats, not including fillets, raw, merely coated with batter or breadcrumbs, whether or not pre-fried in oil, deep-frozen Other, not including smoked saithe Fish other than herring and smoked saithe aa A A A a A A A s 400 10 Under this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall charge duties of 11,9 % and 20 % respectively.
2. Imports of the products in question shall not qualify for the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier-price, which is determined by the Member States according to Article 21 of Council Regulation (EEC) 3796/81 of 20 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (3), als last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/87 (4), is at least equal to the reference price where such a price has been fixed by the Community for the product or categories of products under consideration.
3. The Protocol on the definition of the concept of originatating products and on methods of administrative cooperation, annexed to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, shall be applicable.
1. The tariff quota laid down in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment of this quota shall be allocated among certain Member States. The respective shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid until 31 December 1989, shall be as follows:
(in tonnes) Benelux1 Denmark1 Germany2 France170 Italy17 United Kingdom25 3. The second instalment of the quota, being 184 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
4. If an importer notifies the imminenet import of the product in question into a Member State which does not participate in the initial allocation and requests the benefits of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of one of its initial shares as specified in Article 2(2), it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission and to the extent that the reserve so permits, draw a second share equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as nesessary to the next whole number.
2. If, after one of its initial quota shares has been used up, a Member State has used 90 % or more of its second share as well, it shall forthwith, using the procedure provided for in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of the initial share.
3. If, after one of its second shares has been used up, a Member State has used 90 % or more of its third share, it shall, using the prcedure provided for in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may draw smaller shares than those specified in the said paragraphs if there is reason to believe that they might not be used in full. Member States shall inform the Commission of their reasons for applying this paragraph.
Without prejudice to Article 5, additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1989.
1. Once at least 80 % of the reserve of the tariff quota, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.
2. It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the following provisions:
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a covered by this Regulation, and if its declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the Community reserve, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantitiy corresponding to these needs.
The request for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceprance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the reserve, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the request. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
3. Within a period laid down by the Commission as from the date referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve the whole of the quantities which have not been used, by that date, within meaning of Article 7 (3) and (4).
The Commission shall keep account of the shares drawn by Member States pususant to Articles 2, 3 and 5 and shall inform each Member State of the extent which the reserves have been used up as soon as it has been notified.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional drawings of shares pursuant to Articles 3 and 5 enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated share of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products in question against their shares as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of the imports of the products in question, entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
At the request of the Commission, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 192 and 207, in conjunction with Article 218(9), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Union has approved the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (the ‘Rotterdam Convention’) by Council Decision 2006/730/EC (1).
(2) Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals (2) implements the Rotterdam Convention in the Union.
(3) In order to ensure that importing countries benefit from the protection offered by the Rotterdam Convention, it is necessary and appropriate to support the recommendation from the Chemical Review Committee as regards the inclusion in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention of chrysotile asbestos, endosulfan, alachlor and aldicarb. These four substances are already banned or severely restricted in the Union and are therefore subject to export requirements which go beyond what is required under the Rotterdam Convention.

The position to be taken by the Union at the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Rotterdam Convention is that the Commission shall, on behalf of the Union, as regards matters falling within the Union’s competence, support the adoption of the amendments to Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (3) as regards the inclusion of chrysotile asbestos, endosulfan, alachlor and aldicarb.
