COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1835/95 of 24 July 1995 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain industrial, fishery and agricultural products and amending Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products (fourth series 1995)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain industrial products will remain in the course of 1995 unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Communty tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1995 and, for eels (order number 09.2701), for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996, taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting up or development of Community production;
Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 (1) the Council opened, for 1995 Community tariff quotas for certain industrial and fishery products, and in particular for magnetrons (order number 09.2797) and for dianol 220 (order No 09.2859);
Whereas current economic data suggest that the Community demand for non-Community imports of the products in question could in the course of the year exceed the volumes laid down in the above Regulation; whereas the volume of the quota in question should therefore be increased;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly,
1. From the date of entry into force of this Regulation and until the date specified in the following table the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
>TABLE>
2. From 1 July 1995 until 30 June 1996, the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
>TABLE>
3. In Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 the table shown in Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) for order number 09.2797, the figure '650 000` appearing in the column headed 'Amount of quota` shall be replaced by '1 150 000`;
(b) for order number 09.2859, the figure '600` appearing in the column headed 'Amount of quota` shall be replaced by '1 000`.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer presents a declaration covered by this Regulation for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 November 2009
amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Chile, Colombia and Japan
(notified under document C(2009) 8590)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/830/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (countries or regions) is to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2) The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3) The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of countries or regions according to their BSE risk. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC takes account of Resolution No XXI — Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Status of Members — adopted by the OIE in May 2008 regarding the BSE status of Member States and third countries.
(4) Decision 2007/453/EC currently lists Finland and Sweden as having a negligible BSE risk and all other Member States as having a controlled BSE risk. It also lists the BSE status of third countries. In May 2009, the OIE adopted Resolution No XXII — Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Members. That Resolution recognised Chile as having a negligible BSE risk and Colombia and Japan as having a controlled BSE risk. The list in Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to be brought into line with that Resolution as regards those three third countries. However, pending a final conclusion of the OIE on the BSE risk status of all Member States and taking into account the harmonised stringent BSE protective measures applied within the Community, no changes should at present be made as regards the recognised BSE status of the Member States.
(5) Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 28 March 1996 amending Decision 95/424/EC adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 1996 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (96/263/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/95 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 267/96 (4), sets detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community; whereas it also contains provisions on mobilization on the Community market should intervention stocks of certain products not be available at the time;
Whereas the Commission by Decision 95/424/EC (5) adopted the plan allocating 1996 budget resources to the Member States; whereas this plan determines the amounts available to execute the 1996 plan in each Member State and sets the quantities of each product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks; whereas when it was adopted availability in intervention storage of certain products was lower than the requirements expressed by Member States; whereas the product quantities to be withdrawn form intervention should be adjusted to take account of present availability and allocations made for mobilization on the market of products not available in intervention storage; whereas unused resources notified to the Commission should be reassigned pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of all the relevant management committees,
The Annex to Decision 95/424/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

2011/477/EU: Commission Decision of 27 July 2011 on the safety requirements to be met by European standards to address certain risks posed to children by internal blinds, corded window coverings and safety devices pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Text with EEA relevance

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 2011
on the safety requirements to be met by European standards to address certain risks posed to children by internal blinds, corded window coverings and safety devices pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/477/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (1), and in particular Article 4(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the second subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC, a product is presumed safe when it complies with voluntary national standards transposing European standards, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(2) Those European standards are to be established by European standardisation bodies on the basis of specific safety requirements determined by the Commission.
(3) Many homes have blinds and other window coverings with cords that are used to raise or lower the product (operating cord) or to connect its different parts (inner cord). These cords pose a strangulation hazard to children, as loops can be formed and children can become entangled in them, while playing near the window. Children can also climb on window sills or furniture to access the cords. Accidents can also happen when beds or cots are placed near windows where cords are within reach of children.
(4) In 1998, in a sample of hospitals in the 15 Member States of the European Union, 129 children were hospitalised due to an injury involving a window blind loop or drapery cord (2). In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that one or two children die every year after becoming entangled in the cords of a blind. More recently, the Commission has become aware of 10 fatal accidents involving children aged between 15 and 36 months that occurred in Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Turkey in the period 2008 to 2010. In the United States 119 fatalities and 111 near-misses involving corded window coverings were reported to have occurred since 1999. In Canada, 28 fatalities and 23 near-misses have been linked to the same products since 1986. In Australia, at least 10 children have been accidentally strangled by blinds cords since 2000 (3). However, these figures capture only a part of the problem, as many such accidents are not reported (4).
(5) Research indicates that most accidental deaths involving blind cords happen in bedrooms and the children concerned are aged between 16 months and 36 months. Over half these accidents happen to children around 23 months. Although fully mobile at that age, children find it difficult to free themselves if they become entangled in the cords, as their heads still weigh more in proportion to their bodies compared to adults, and their muscular control is not yet fully developed. In addition, their windpipes have not yet fully developed and are thus smaller and less rigid than in adults and older children, so that they suffocate more quickly if their necks are constricted (5).
(6) European standard EN 13120:2009 contains performance requirements for internal blinds, including safety. However, some models of blinds, which have been linked to accidents, are not included within the scope of this standard.
(7) European standard EN 13120:2009 refers to both manual and power-operated internal blinds, the latter being covered in relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery (6). However, this Directive does not cover child-safety in relation to the specific risk of strangulation and does not apply to corded blinds manually operated.
(8) Motorisation can eliminate the risks associated with the operating cords, but not the risks relating to the inner cords.
(9) Other window coverings with hazardous cords exposed pose a similar risk to children.
(10) Reports of cord-related accidents give the cause of death as internal asphyxiation. Existing European standards relating to window coverings and blinds do not contain requirements to address this risk.
(11) To cover the risk of incorrect installation or lack of installation, manufacturers should improve the design of the safety devices or of the window coverings to prevent the product being used if the safety devices are not properly installed.
(12) It is therefore necessary to lay down safety requirements to ensure that internal blinds and other corded window coverings are inherently safe for children, eliminating the risk of strangulation and internal asphyxiation due to accessible cords and small parts.
(13) In addition to requirements concerning the safe operation of corded window coverings and blinds, requirements and product safety information must be also developed for the safety devices.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up under Article 15 of Directive 2001/95/EC and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
For the purposes of this Decision the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘internal blinds’ shall mean a window covering product fitted anywhere within the internal surface of the building;
(b) ‘corded window coverings’ shall mean a product used to cover a window, other than an internal blind, which features exposed cords. Window coverings can be placed outside the window, or inside two window panels, or in front of a window;
(c) ‘hazardous loop’ shall mean a loop of exposed cord, chain or similar, combined or not with fabric, and that would fit over the head or around the neck of a young child creating a strangulation hazard;
(d) ‘safety devices’ shall mean a device or a design that protects a young child from the risk of strangulation by, for example, preventing the forming of a hazardous loop in the cord or chain, breaking the hazardous loop, releasing a cord or a chain when a hazardous loop is formed or when the cord or a chain is subject to a load, making the cord or chain inaccessible to children, preventing the cords getting entangled;
(e) ‘accessible cord(s), chain(s), ball-chain(s) or similar’ shall mean cord(s), chain(s), ball-chain(s) or similar that are exposed from the front, back or side of the blind or window covering, and can be reached and pulled by a young child, creating a strangulation hazard. Height is not considered as a restriction to accessibility.
The safety requirements for internal blinds, corded window coverings and safety devices to be met by European standards pursuant to Article 4 of Directive 2001/95/EC are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

|
Council Decision
of 20 March 2000
amending Decision 97/787/EC providing exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia in order to extend it to Tajikistan
(2000/244/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposals from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 97/787/EC provides exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia(2).
(2) In parallel with its Decision to provide exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia, the Council agreed also to consider a similar operation for Tajikistan once circumstances allowed.
(3) Tajikistan is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and is making substantial efforts to implement a market economy model.
(4) In view of the initial results, particularly in terms of growth and control of inflation, these reforms should be continued with the primary aim of improving people's living conditions and creating jobs.
(5) Trade, commercial and economic links are expected to develop between the Community and Tajikistan. Tajikistan is eligible for a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the European Communities and their Member States and has formally requested to benefit from such an agreement as soon as possible.
(6) Tajikistan agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in June 1998 on a three-year enhanced structural adjustment facility.
(7) The Tajik authorities have formally undertaken to settle fully their outstanding financial obligations towards the Community and Tajikistan secures a minimum servicing of outstanding Community claims.
(8) The Tajik authorities have formally requested exceptional financial support from the Community.
(9) Tajikistan is a low-income country and is facing particularly critical economic, social and political circumstances. This country is eligible for highly concessional loans from the World Bank and the IMF.
(10) Concessional financial assistance from the Community in the form of a mix of a long-term loan and straight grants is an appropriate measure to help the beneficiary country at this critical juncture.
(11) This assistance, both the loan and the grant component, is highly exceptional and therefore in no way constitutes a precedent.
(12) The inclusion of a grant component in this assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.
(13) This assistance should be managed by the Commission.
(14) The Commission is to ensure that financial assistance is used in accordance with the rules of budgetary control.
(15) In implementing this Decision, the Commission will take due account of progress made in the Inter-Tajik peace process and, in particular, in the holding of elections under acceptable conditions.
(16) The Commission consulted the Economic and Financial Committee before submitting its proposal.
(17) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,
Decision 97/787/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1) to (3) shall be replaced by the following:
"1. The Community shall make available to Armenia, Georgia and Tajikistan exceptional financial assistance, in the form of long-term loans and straight grants.
2. The total loan component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum principal of EUR 245 million, with a maximum maturity of 15 years and a grace period of 10 years. To this end, the Commission shall be empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of the beneficiary countries in the form of loans.
3. The grant component of this assistance shall consist of an amount of up to EUR 130 million during the 1997 to 2004 period, with a maximum of EUR 24 million annually. The grants shall be made available in so far as the net debtor position of the beneficiary countries towards the Community has been reduced, as a rule, by at leat a similar amount."
2. Article 3(1) shall be replaced by the following:
"1. Subject to the provisions of Article 1(4) and Article 2, the total amount of the loan offered to each country shall be made available by the Commission in parallel with the first instalments of the grants. The remainder of the grant component of the assistance shall be made available by the Commission in successive instalments, subject to the same provisions."
3. Article 5(2) shall be replaced by the following text:
"2. Before 31 December 2004, the Council shall examine the application of this Decision to that date on the basis of a comprehensive report by the Commission, which shall also be submitted to the European Parliament."

6.8.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 261/116
COUNCIL DECISION
of 29 April 2004
providing macro-financial assistance to Albania and repealing Decision 1999/282/EC
(2004/580/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Commission consulted the Economic and Financial Committee before submitting its proposal.
(2) The Council, by Decision 1999/282/EC (2), approved, in the aftermath of the Kosovo crisis, macro-financial assistance for Albania of up to EUR 20 million in the form of a long-term loan facility. In the light of a better-than-expected balance of payments situation, the Albanian authorities did not request the release of this assistance; therefore, the Commission deprogrammed it in 2001.
(3) Within the Stabilisation and Association process, the framework for EU relations with the region, it is desirable to support efforts to sustain political and economic stabilisation in Albania, with a view to evolving towards the development of a full cooperation relationship with the Community; this is also the aim of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement which is currently under negotiation between Albania and the EU.
(4) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved on 21 June 2002 in favour of Albania a three-year programme supported by a Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) for an amount of about USD 36 million, to support the authorities' economic programme over the period from June 2002 to June 2005; out of this amount, USD 11 million are projected to be disbursed in 2004.
(5) In the framework of the new three-year Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) adopted by the World Bank Board on 20 June 2002, USD 8 million are projected to be disbursed in 2004 under the Poverty Reduction Support Credit.
(6) Over and above these estimated financial supports projected to be provided by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, a significant residual financing gap remains in 2004, to be covered to support the policy objectives attached to the authorities' reform efforts.
(7) The Community already provided macro-financial assistance to Albania; the authorities of Albania have requested further financial assistance from the international financial institutions, the Community, and other bilateral donors.
(8) Community macro-financial assistance to Albania is an appropriate measure to help the country meet its external financing needs, including through a reinforcement of its reserves and budget support.
(9) Financial assistance from the Community in the form of a combination of a long-term loan and a straight grant is an appropriate measure to support the sustainability of Albania's external financial position, given the country's relatively low level of development.
(10) This financial support, in particular the grant component, should be provided after verifying whether the financial and economic conditions lay down can be fulfilled.
(11) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Community's financial interests linked to the present macro-financial assistance, it is necessary to provide for appropriate measures by Albania related to the prevention of fraud and other irregularities linked to this assistance, as well as for controls by the Commission and audits by the Court of Auditors.
(12) The inclusion of a grant component in this assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.
(13) This assistance should be managed by the Commission in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee.
(14) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,
1. The Community shall make available to Albania a macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan and a straight grant with a view to helping the country meet its external financing needs, including through a reinforcement of its reserves and budget support.
2. The loan component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum principal of EUR 9 million with a maximum maturity of 15 years. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Albania in the form of a loan.
3. The grant component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum of EUR 16 million.
4. This Community financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with the agreements reached between the IMF and Albania.
5. The Community financial assistance shall be made available for two years starting from the first day after the entry into force of this decision. However, if circumstances so require, the Commission, after consultation of the Economic and Financial Committee, may decide to extend the availability period by a maximum of one year.
1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the authorities of Albania, after consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee the economic policy and financial conditions attached to this assistance to be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1(4).
2. Before proceeding with the actual implementation of the Community assistance, the Commission shall check the reliability of Albania's financial circuits, administrative procedures, internal and external control mechanisms which are relevant for this Community macro-financial assistance.
3. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Committee and in coordination with the IMF, that economic policies in Albania are in accordance with the objectives of this assistance and that its economic policy and financial conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The loan and grant components of this assistance shall be made available by the Commission to Albania in at least two instalments. Subject to the provisions of Article 2 and a satisfactory assessment in accordance with Article 2(2), the first instalment shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record of the macro-economic programme of Albania under the present Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility with the IMF.
2. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the second and any further instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the abovementioned programme, and not before one quarter after the release of the previous instalment.
3. The funds shall be paid to the Central Bank of Albania. The final recipient of the funds will be the Central Bank of Albania, to the extent that the assistance is intended to reinforce the country's reserves, or the Ministry of Finance if it is intended for budgetary support purposes.
The implementation of this assistance shall take place in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Regulation applicable to the General Budget of the European Communities and its implementing rules. In particular, the memorandum of understanding to be agreed with the authorities of Albania shall provide for appropriate measures by Albania related to the prevention of fraud and other irregularities linked to this assistance. It will also provide for controls by the Commission, including the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), with the right to perform on-the-spot checks and inspections and for audits by the Court of Auditors, where appropriate, to be carried out on the spot.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1(2) shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risks, or in any other commercial risk.
2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Albania so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and that it may be exercised.
3. At the request of Albania, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate of the loan, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
4. All costs incurred by the Community which are directly related to the borrowing and lending operations under this Decision shall be borne by Albania.
5. The Economic and Financial Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3.
At least once a year, and before September, the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation on the implementation of this Decision in the previous year.
Council Decision 1999/282/EC is hereby repealed.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme(1), and in particular Articles 4 and 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 provides for the award of an eco-label to a product possessing characteristics which enable it to contribute significantly to improvements in relation to key environmental aspects.
(2) According to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, specific eco-label criteria should be established according to product groups, and a review of the eco-label criteria as well as of the assessment and verification requirements related to the criteria should take place in due time before the end of the period of validity of the criteria specified for each product group, resulting in a proposal for prolongation, withdrawal or revision.
(3) By Decision 1999/427/EC(2) the Commission established ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to detergents for dishwashers, which, according to Article 3 thereof, expire on 31 May 2002.
(4) Following the review, it is considered appropriate to prolong the period of validity of the definition of the product group and the ecological criteria, unchanged, for a period of eighteen months, in particular to allow those companies that have been awarded the eco-label to continue using the eco-label at least until the revision of Decision 1999/427/EC is completed.
(5) The period of validity set out in Article 3 of Decision 1999/427/EC should therefore be extended.
(6) The measures set out in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee set up under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000,
The period of validity set out in Article 3 of Decision 1999/427/EC for the product group definition and the criteria of the product group bearing the administrative code number 15 is prolonged until 30 November 2003.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Swine vesicular disease is an infectious viral disease of pigs causing disturbance to trade and export to third countries.
(2) Classical swine fever is an infectious viral disease of pigs and wild boar which causes disturbance to intra-Union trade and export to third countries.
(3) In the event of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings within that Member State, but also to other Member States and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(4) In the event of an outbreak of classical swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings within that Member State, but also to other Member States and to third countries through trade in live pigs, their products, semen, ova and embryos.
(5) 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 (2) sets out measures which in the event of an outbreak have to be immediately applied by Member States to prevent further spread of the virus.
(6) Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3) lays down the measures to be immediately applied in the event of an outbreak by Member States to prevent further spread of the virus.
(7) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. Pursuant to Article 3(2) of that Decision, Member States shall obtain a financial contribution towards the costs of certain measures to eradicate communicable diseases listed in Article 3(1).
(8) Article 3(6) first indent of Decision 2009/470/EC lays down rules on the percentage of the costs incurred by the Member State that may be covered by the financial contribution from the Union.
(9) The payment of a financial contribution from the Union towards emergency measures to eradicate communicable diseases listed in Article 3(1) is subject to the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (4).
(10) Outbreaks of swine vesicular disease occurred in Italy in 2011. The authorities of Italy informed the Commission and the other Member States in the framework of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health of the measures applied in accordance with Union legislation on notification and eradication of the disease and the results thereof.
(11) Outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in Lithuania in 2011. The authorities of Lithuania informed the Commission and the other Member States in the framework of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health of the measures applied in accordance with Union legislation on notification and eradication of the disease and the results thereof.
(12) The authorities of Italy and Lithuania have therefore fulfilled their technical and administrative obligations with regard to the measures provided for in Article 3(2) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(13) At this stage, the exact amount of the financial contribution from the Union cannot be determined as the information on the cost of compensation and on operational expenditure provided are estimates. Because of the large amount involved a first tranche should be fixed for Lithuania.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Financial contribution from the Union to Italy
1. A financial contribution from the Union shall be granted to Italy towards the costs incurred by this Member State in taking measures pursuant to Article 3(2) and (6) of Decision 2009/470/EC, to combat swine vesicular disease in Italy in 2011.
2. The amount of the financial contribution mentioned in paragraph 1 shall be fixed in a subsequent decision to be adopted in accordance with the procedure established in Article 40(2) of Decision 2009/470/EC.
Financial contribution from the Union to Lithuania
1. A financial contribution from the Union shall be granted to Lithuania towards the costs incurred by this Member State in taking measures pursuant to Article 3(2) and (6) of Decision 2009/470/EC, to combat classical swine fever in Lithuania in 2011.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/161/EEC of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material marketed within the Community (1), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom,
Whereas in the Federal Republic of Germany and in the United Kingdom the production of seed of Quercus pedunculata and Quercus sessiliflora satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 71/161/EEC was insufficient in 1990 and is not adequate to supply these countries' needs;
Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily at this stage by the use of seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (3), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC, provides that reproductive material may be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to permit the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 25 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. and 20 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus sessiliflora Sal. which does not satisfy the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, provided that the following requirement is satisfies: the document required pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 66/404/EEC shall state: Seed not satisfying the standards in respect of specific purity'.
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to permit the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 10 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus pedunculata Ehrh. and 10 000 kilograms of seed of Quercus sessiliflora Sal. which does not satisfy the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, provided that the following requirement is satisfied: the document required under Article 9 of Directive 66/404/EEC shall state: seed not satisfying the standards in respect of specific purity'.
The Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom shall notify the Commission before 1 January 1993 of the quantities of seed marketed on their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
The authorizations provided for in Articles 1 and 2, in so far as it concerns the first marketing, shall expire on 30 November 1992 and, in so far as it does not concern the first marketing, shall expire on 31 December 1994.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 32(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down the general tasks, duties and requirements for European Union (EU) reference laboratories for food and feed and for animal health and live animals. EU reference laboratories for food and feed are listed in Part I of Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2) Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (2) lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I to that Directive.
(3) Following a reorganisation of laboratory activities in the Netherlands, all functions, including all infrastructure and staff, of the Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM), currently listed as the EU reference laboratory for residues of veterinary medicines and contaminants in food of animal origin, for residues listed in Annex I, Group A (1), (2), (3), (4), Group B (2)(d) and Group B (3)(d) to Directive 96/23/EC, were transferred to RIKILT – Institute of Food Safety. The tasks performed by RIVM were assigned to RIKILT under a framework contract which ended on 31 December 2011.
(4) Since the contract of RIVM was coming to an end a call for selection for an EU reference laboratory to replace it was launched. RIKILT – Institute of Food Safety was selected as fulfilling all the required criteria and should be designated as such.
(5) Due to the importance of the substances in the Groups A (1) to A (4) in Annex I to Directive 96/23/EC and the fact that RIKILT – Institute of Food Safety was selected as fulfilling all the required criteria, it should be designated as the competent EU reference laboratory for residues of veterinary medicines and contaminants in food of animal origin, for residues listed in Annex I, Group A (1), (2), (3), (4), Group B (2)(d) and Group B (3)(d) to Directive 96/23/EC as of 1 January 2012. This Regulation should apply with retroactive effect from 1 January 2012.
(6) Part I of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Part I of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, point 12(a) is replaced by the following:
‧(a) For the residues listed in Annex I, Group A (1), (2), (3) and (4), Group B (2)(d) and Group B (3)(d) to Directive 96/23/EC

Commission Decision
of 5 September 2003
on the use of colour photographs or other illustrations as health warnings on tobacco packages
(notified under document number C(2003) 3184)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/641/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products(1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Directive 2001/37/EC each unit packet of tobacco products, except for tobacco for oral use and other smokeless tobacco products, and any outside packaging, with the exception of additional transparent wrappers, must carry a general warning and an additional warning taken from the list set out in Annex I to that Directive.
(2) Member States can decide whether health warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations are required on the packages of some or all types of tobacco products, except for tobacco for oral use and other smokeless tobacco products.
(3) Where Member States require additional warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations these must be in accordance with the rules to be adopted by the Commission.
(4) Directive 2001/37/EC has introduced new labelling provisions which significantly change the aspect of tobacco packets, in particular as far as the size of the warning texts and their graphical presentation is concerned. In order to take maximum advantage of the visual impact achieved with this new design, it should remain unchanged for a certain length of time before colour photographs or other illustrations are introduced.
(5) As research and experience in other countries which have adopted health warnings with colour photographs has proved, health warnings which include colour photographs or other illustrations can be an effective means of discouraging smoking and informing citizens about the health risks related to smoking. The use of photographs on tobacco packages therefore is a key element of a comprehensive and integrated tobacco control policy.
(6) Given the cultural diversity existing across the European Union, a choice of several colour photographs or other illustrations should be made available for each of the additional warnings listed in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC.
(7) Where Member States require health warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations, it should be ensured that these visual elements are not concealed or otherwise impaired.
(8) Where Member States require health warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations, transitional periods should be provided for in order to allow for the necessary changes in the production and packaging process for tobacco products and for the disposal of stocks. The use of irremovable labels should be allowed for tobacco products other than cigarettes.
(9) The introduction of picture-based warnings needs to be monitored and its effectiveness periodically assessed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Committee set up under Article 10 of Directive 2001/37/EC,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Decision establishes rules for the use on tobacco packages of colour photographs or other illustrations to depict and explain the health consequences of smoking.
2. This Decision shall apply to those Member States that decide to use colour photographs or illustrations together with the additional warnings required by Directive 2001/37/EC on the packages of some or all types of tobacco products, except for packages containing tobacco for oral use and other smokeless tobacco.
3. Where Member States require health warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations, these shall be in accordance with the rules established by this Decision.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision, the definitions in Article 2 of Directive 2001/37/EC shall apply.
The following definitions shall also apply:
1. "tobacco package" means any form of unit packet and any outside packaging used in the retail sale of tobacco products, with the exception of additional transparent wrappers;
2. "additional warning" means any of the warnings referred to in Article 5(2)(b) and in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC;
3. "source document" means any of the electronic files made available by the Commission which contains a combined warning;
4. "combined warning" means the warning consisting of a photograph or other illustration and the corresponding text of the additional warning provided for in Article 5(2)(b) and in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC, as contained in each source document.
Library of source documents
1. By 30 September 2004 at the latest, the Commission shall provide a library of pre-tested source documents in order to make available a choice of several photographs or other illustrations for each of the additional warnings listed in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC.
2. The source documents shall be made available by the Commission on request. The technical specifications for printing shall be made available by the Commission and shall not be modified in any way.
3. The Commission shall be assisted by scientific and technical experts in preparing the library of source documents.
4. The selected source documents shall be submitted, for opinion, to the Committee established under Article 10 of Directive 2001/37/EC.
Use of the combined warnings
1. Where Member States require health warnings in the form of colour photographs or other illustrations, tobacco packages for which such photographs are required shall carry a combined warning taken exclusively from the source documents provided by the Commission, without any changes to any of its components.
Member States may choose the source documents best adapted to consumers in their countries.
2. The combined warnings shall:
(a) be rotated in such a way as to guarantee the regular appearance of all of the additional warnings;
(b) be printed on the other most visible surface of the tobacco package, respecting the format and proportions of the source document and the graphical integrity of the picture and the text;
(c) occupy the entire area reserved for the additional health warning, and be positioned parallel to the top edge of the package, and in the same direction as the other information on the package;
(d) be reproduced in accordance with the technical specifications for printing to be made available by the Commission;
(e) be surrounded by a black border not less than 3 mm and not more than 4 mm in width which in no way interferes with any textual or visual element of the combined warning.
3. The combined warning shall cover not less than 40 % of the external area of the other most visible surface of the unit packet of tobacco. That proportion shall be increased to 45 % for Member States with two official languages and 50 % for Member States with three official languages.
However, in the case of unit packets intended for products other than cigarettes, the most visible surface of which exceeds 75 cm2, the combined warning shall cover an area of at least 22,5 cm2 of the other most visible surface. That area shall be increased to 24 cm2 for Member States with two official languages and 26,25 cm2 for Member States with three official languages.
4. In the case of tobacco products other than cigarettes, the combined warnings may be affixed as stickers, provided that such stickers are irremovable. The reproduction of the combined warnings on the stickers shall be in accordance with the technical specifications for printing made available by the Commission.
5. Member States may stipulate that the combined warnings are to be accompanied by a reference, outside the box for warnings, to the issuing authority. Moreover, if Member States so require, the combined warnings may include other visual elements, such as logos with or without smoking cessation phone numbers, e-mail addresses and/or Internet sites designed to inform consumers about the authorities issuing the warning and the programmes available to support those who want to stop smoking.
6. Except for the cases provided for in paragraph 5, the combined warnings shall not be commented on, paraphrased or referred to in any form on the tobacco package.
Visual integrity of the combined warnings
1. The combined warnings shall:
(a) be irremovably printed, indelible and in no way hidden or interrupted by other written or pictorial matter or by the opening of the packet. The printing of the combined warnings on the tax stamps or price marks of unit packets shall be prohibited;
(b) be displayed in a manner that ensures that none of the textual or visual elements of the combined warnings will be severed when the package is opened.
2. Where Member States decide to require the use of combined warnings on tobacco packages, they shall adopt the necessary rules to prevent the use of any type of wrapper, pouch, jacket, box or other device from partially or entirely hiding or interrupting the combined warnings or any of their elements.
3. Tax stamps or price marks shall not be placed in a way that partially or entirely hides or interrupts the combined warnings or any of their elements.
4. The references or other elements mentioned in Article 4(5) shall not hinder or impede the visualisation of the combined warnings.
Implementation
Where Member States decide to require the use of combined warnings on tobacco packages, they shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Decision.
They shall apply those provisions at the earliest from 1 October 2004.
Those provisions shall provide for adequate transitional periods in order to allow for the necessary changes in the production and packaging process for tobacco products and for the disposal of stocks, in particular as regards small and medium enterprises.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Decision or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Decision and inform the Commission every two years of their implementation. This information should include an impact assessment with specific reference to consumer habits, and with a particular focus on children and young people.
Reporting and adaptations
1. By 30 September 2006 at the latest, and every two years thereafter, the Commission shall report to the Committee established under Article 10 of Directive 2001/37/EC on the implementation of this Decision. The information received from Member States pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 6 of this Decision shall form the basis of these reports.
2. On submission of the reports the Commission shall indicate in particular the features which should be reviewed or developed in the light of past experience and new scientific evidence.
3. The scientific and technical experts referred to in Article 11 of Directive 2001/37/EC may assist the Commission in the preparation of these reports.
4. Information on the implementation of this Decision shall also be part of the two-yearly reports which the Commission is to submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the application of Directive 2001/37/EC in accordance with Article 11 of that Directive.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1) and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8 and point 4 of Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1) and 24(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (3) lays down rules on imports into the Union and the transit and storage in the Union of consignments of meat products, as defined in point 7.1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (4) and of consignments of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, as defined in point 7.9 of that Annex.
(2) Decision 2007/777/EC also lays down lists of third countries and parts thereof from which such imports and transit and storage are to be authorised and the public and animal health certificates and the treatments required for those products.
(3) Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC lays down a list of third countries or parts thereof from which imports into the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines which are subject to different treatments, referred to in Part 4 of that Annex, are authorised.
(4) South Africa is listed in Part 2 of Annex II of Decision 2007/777/EC as authorised for imports of meat products, treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption obtained from meat of farmed ratites, which undergo a non-specific treatment, for which no minimum temperature is specified (treatment A).
(5) Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC lays down a list of third countries or parts thereof from which imports into the Union of biltong/jerky and pasteurised meat products, which are subject to different treatments, referred to in Part 4 of that Annex, are authorised.
(6) South Africa is listed in Part 3 of Annex II of Decision 2007/777/EC as authorised for imports into the Union of biltong/jerky consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, farmed feathered game, ratites and wild game birds which undergo a specific treatment (treatment E).
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (5) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports and transit through the Union of poultry, hatching eggs, day-old chicks and specified pathogen-free eggs and of meat, minced meat and mechanically separated meat of poultry, including ratites and wild game birds, eggs and egg products. That Regulation provides that the commodities covered by it are only to be imported into and transited through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.
(8) South Africa is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as authorised for imports into the Union of breeding and productive ratites and of day-old chicks, hatching eggs and meat of ratites.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also sets out the conditions for a third country, territorry, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and the requirements for the veterinary certification in that respect for commodities destined for imports into the Union.
(10) South Africa has notified the Commission of an outbreak of HPAI of the H5N2 subtype that was confirmed on its territory on 9 April 2011.
(11) Due to the confirmed outbreak of HPAI, the territory of South Africa can no longer be considered as free from that disease. As a consequence, the veterinary authorities of South Africa suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of the concerned commodities with immediate effect. The entry for South Africa in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) In addition, as a consequence of the HPAI outbreak, South Africa no longer complies with the animal health conditions for applying ‘treatment A’ to commodities consisting of, or containing meat of farmed ratites or treated stomachs, bladders and intestines of ratites for human consumption, listed in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC and for applying ‘treatment E’ to biltong/jerky and pasteurised meat products consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, farmed feathered game, ratites and wild game birds, listed in Part 3 of that Annex. Those treatments are insufficient to eliminate animal health risks linked to those commodities. The entries for South Africa for those commodities in Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC should therefore be amended, in order to provide for an adequate treatment thereof.
(13) Decision 2007/777/EC and Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

of 24 February 2014
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating in India following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009
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 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 (2), the Council imposed countervailing measures on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (‘PET’) originating in India. Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 (3).
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 (4), the Council imposed anti-dumping measures on imports of PET originating in India. Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (5). On 24 February 2012, the Commission initiated a subsequent expiry review. By Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU (6), the Council rejected the Commission’s proposal for a Council implementing regulation maintaining the anti-dumping duty on imports of PET originating in, inter alia, India and, thus, the anti-dumping measures expired.
(3) In 2000, by Decision 2000/745/EC (7), the Commission accepted price undertakings offered in connection with both the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings from, inter alia, the Indian companies Pearl Engineering Polymers Limited (‘Pearl’) and Reliance Industries Limited (‘Reliance’). In 2005, by Decision 2005/697/EC (8), the Commission accepted an undertaking from the Indian company South ASEAN Petrochem Limited which, as a result of a merger, changed its name to Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited (‘Dhunseri’) (9).
B. WITHDRAWAL OF UNDERTAKINGS AND AMENDMENT OF IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 461/2013
(4) By Implementing Decision 2014/109/EU (10), the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertakings offered by the three Indian companies: Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl. Therefore, Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013, together with the Annex to that Regulation, should be repealed. Accordingly, the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 should apply to imports of PET produced by the companies Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl (TARIC additional code A585 for Dhunseri, TARIC additional code A181 for Reliance and TARIC additional code A182 for Pearl),
1. Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 and the Annex to that Regulation are repealed.
2. Article 1(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 1(4).
3. Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 2.
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.

Whereas experience has been gained and reports drawn up by France and Portugal regarding the application of Commission Decision 93/522/EEC of 30 September 1993 on the definition of the measures eligible for Community financing in the programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants or plant products in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira (5);
Whereas Article 3 of that Decision is worded so as to allow measures which have incurred expenditure during the six months prior to notification of the Commission's decisions on the Community's annual contribution to the financing of the control programmes in question to be included retroactively;
Whereas that Article stipulates that the period of retroactivity may either exclude a part of the beginning of the calendar year during which the financing decisions are taken or include a part of the year preceding the year in which the decisions are taken, in which case there is a danger that the financing of programmes may overlap from one year to the next;
Whereas the Member States concerned are having difficulty in applying this retroactivity;
Whereas Article 4 of Decision 93/522/EEC provides that the Decision may be re-examined in the light of annual reports drawn up by France and Portugal;
Whereas the provisions of this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Article 3 of Decision 93/522/EEC on the definition of the measures eligible for Community financing in the programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants or plant products in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira is hereby amended as follows:

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1960/2000(2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.
(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.
(6) Erythromycin, flumequine, marbofloxacin, paromomycin, pirlimycin, tiamulin and tilmicosin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(7) Anisi stellati fructus, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, Cinchonae cortex, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, Cinnamoni cassiae cortex, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, Cinnamomi ceylanici cortex, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, Condurango cortex, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, decoquinate, Frangulae cortex, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, Gentianae radix, standardised extracts and preparations thereof, sodium boroformiate and sodium propionate should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(8) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for colistin, josamycin and oxyclozanide.
(9) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/37/EC(4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are amended as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the sixtieth day following its publication.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2002/300/EC of 18 April 2002 establishing the list of approved zones with regard to Bonamia ostreae and/or Marteilia refringes
(2) lays down the areas in the Community considered to be free of the mollusc diseases Bonamia ostreae and/or Marteilia refringens.
(2) Ireland and the United Kingdom informed the Commission by letters of June 2005 that Bonamia ostreae has been detected in Lough Foyle, a shared coastal water area on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. That area was previously considered to be free of Bonamia ostreae but can therefore no longer be regarded as free of that disease.
(3) In addition, Ireland has submitted a request for an amendment to the list of zones in Ireland approved with regard to Bonamia ostreae in Decision 2002/300/EC, in order to make the geographical description of one of the areas affected by that disease more precise. Accordingly, the description ‘Logmore, Belmullet’ should be replaced by ‘Loughmore, Blacksod Bay’.
(4) Decision 2002/300/EC should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2002/300/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

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 Article 164(2), final subparagraph, and Article 170 thereof,

(2) Given the present situation on the market in pigmeat, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162 to 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(3), and in particular Article 7(4) thereof,
After consulting the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 stipulate that the Commission is to exclude expenditure from Community financing where it finds that it has not been incurred in accordance with Community rules.
(2) The above Articles of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 as well as Article 8(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2025/2001(5), provide that the Commission is to carry out the necessary checks, forward its findings to the Member States, consider any comments from the latter, enter into bilateral discussions to reach an agreement with the Member States concerned and formally communicate its conclusions to them, referring to Commission Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(6), as last amended by Decision 2001/535/EC(7).
(3) The Member States have had the opportunity to request that a conciliation procedure be initiated. That procedure has been applied in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been considered by the Commission.
(4) Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 provide that refunds on exports to third countries and intervention intended to stabilise agricultural markets may be financed only where they are, respectively, granted and undertaken in accordance with the Community rules governing the common organisation of the agricultural markets.
(5) The findings of checks performed, the results of bilateral discussions and the outcome of the conciliation procedures have shown that some expenditure declared by the Member States does not meet those conditions and cannot therefore be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
(6) The Annex to this Decision sets out the amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commissions written notification of the results of the checks to the Member States.
(7) As regards the cases covered by this Decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with Community rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States and is set out in a summary report on the subject.
(8) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 31 October 2001 and relating to the subject thereof,
The expenditure itemised in the Annex that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section is hereby excluded from Community financing because it does not comply with Community rules.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Finland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Commission took part, on behalf of the Community, in the negotiations with a view to the conclusion of the Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents; whereas the Convention was signed on behalf of the Community in Helsinki on 18 March 1992;
Whereas the Convention aims at protecting human beings and the environment against industrial accidents capable of causing transboundary effects and at promoting active international cooperation between the Contracting Parties before, during and after such accidents;
Whereas the conclusion of the Convention comes within the scope of the Community's participation in international measures to protect the environment, recommended by the fifth Action Programme on the Environment, the general approach of which was approved by the Council and the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within Council, in their Resolution of 1 February 1993 (3);
Whereas, in accordance with the principles stated in Article 130r of the Treaty, the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances constitutes a matter of utmost importance for all Member States in view of the cross-border nature of the effects on the environment and human health of major industrial accidents involving such substances;
Whereas Council Directive 82/501/EEC of 24 June 1982 on the major-accident hazards of certain industrial activities (4) and Council Directive 96/82/EC of 9 December 1996 on the Control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances (5) aim at the prevention of major accidents and the limitation of their consequences for man and the environment; whereas these Directives contain provisions concerning transboundary cooperation;
Whereas it is therefore necessary for the Community to approve the Convention;
Whereas for certain substances, namely bromine, methanol, oxygen and substances dangerous for the environment, the threshold quantities set out in Directive 96/82/EC differ from those mentioned in Part I of Annex I to the Convention;
Whereas it will not be possible for the Community to apply the aforementioned threshold quantities for the abovementioned substances; whereas, therefore, in order to enable the Convention to the approved, reservations have to be formulated;
Whereas, in order for the Convention to enter into force without delay, it is necessary that signatory Member States carry out their procedures for ratification, acceptance or approval of the Convention as soon as possible, in order to enable the Community and the Member States to deposit their instruments of ratification, acceptance or approval,
The Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents is hereby approved on behalf of the Community subject to the reservations appearing in Annex I hereto.
The text of the Convention is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the persons empowered to deposit, on behal of the Community, the instrument of approval with the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organisation, in accordance with Article 28 of the Convention. When depositing the instrument of approval and the reservations in Annex I, the said person(s) will deposit the declaration of competence appearing in Annex II hereto.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1541/2003
of 29 August 2003
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(5), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(6), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(7), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(8), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(9) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(10) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(7) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(11), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) 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 appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.

(notified under document number C(2009) 5612)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/563/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1) Under Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 the Community eco-label may be awarded to a product possessing characteristics which enable it to contribute significantly to improvements in relation to key environmental aspects.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 provides that specific eco-label criteria, drawn up on the basis of the criteria drafted by the European Union Eco-labelling Board, are to be established according to product groups.
(3) It also provides that the review of the eco-label criteria, as well as of the assessment and verification requirements related to those criteria, is to take place in due time before the end of the period of validity of the criteria specified for the product group concerned.
(4) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a timely review has been carried out of the ecological criteria, as well as of the related assessment and verification requirements established by Commission Decision 2002/231/EC of 18 March 2002 establishing revised ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to footwear and amending Decision 1999/179/EC (2). Those ecological criteria and the related assessment and verification requirements are valid until 31 March 2010.
(5) In the light of that review, it is appropriate, in order to take account of scientific and market developments, to modify the definition of the product group and to establish new ecological criteria.
(6) The ecological criteria, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements, should be valid for four years from the date of adoption of this Decision.
(7) Decision 2002/231/EC should therefore be replaced.
(8) A transitional period should be allowed for producers whose products have been awarded the eco-label for footwear based on the criteria contained in Decision 2002/231/EC, so that they have sufficient time to adapt their products to comply with the revised criteria and requirements. Producers should also be allowed to submit applications set out under the criteria set in Decision 2002/231/EC or set out under the criteria set in this Decision until the lapse of validity of that Decision.
(9) Measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 4 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3491/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3296/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, of the other part (4), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3297/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part (5), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3382/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part (6), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3383/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Bulgarian Republic of the other part (7), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1275/95 of 29 May 1995 on certain procedures for applying the Agreement on free trade and trade related matters between the European Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of the other part (8), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1276/95 of 29 May 1995 on certain procedures for applying the Agreement on free trade and trade related matters between the European Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part (9), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1277/95 of 29 May 1995 on certain procedures for applying the Agreement on free trade and trade related matters between the European Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Lithuania, of the other part (10), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of production surpluses and other factors reducing outlets and in view of the potential for export to third countries, there is an imbalance between supply and demand on the Community beef and veal market; whereas an analysis of the sector for 1995 shows that the situation is unlikely to improve significantly;
Whereas experience gained and forecasts for 1995 show that, in the absence of Community measures, massive imports into the Community of live bovine animals of up to 160 kg are likely to occur, due, in particular, to the economically favourable stockfarming conditions existing in certain third countries; whereas such imports are likely to greatly exceed both the traditional annual level of imports and the absorption capacity of the Community market; whereas, therefore, the beef and veal market would be threatened with serious disturbance endangering, in particular, market prices and producers' incomes and making public intervention more difficult;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3076/94 of 16 December 1994 introducing management measures for imports of certain bovine animals for the first half of 1995 (1) provides for the management measures required to take account of market supply needs; whereas, in view of the aforementioned factors and circumstances, similar measures should be taken for the period ending 31 December 1995;
Whereas, however, it is necessary to take into account the application from 1 July 1995 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations; whereas the management measures provided for should therefore be restricted to products from the third countries to which the Community grants preferential treatment and which have accepted that the Community take measures to manage the importation of the animals in question;
Whereas the total absorption capacity of the Community market in 1995 is estimated at 425 000 head other than purebred breeding animals; whereas, in view of imports planned under certain preferential arrangements for 1995, i.e.: 277 200 head in the Council estimate and under the new Uruguay Round quota concerning young male bovine animals weighing 300 kg or less and intended for fattening and under the Europe Agreements concluded with the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania and the Republic Bulgaria and the agreements on free trade and trade-related measures with the Baltic Republics, 144 300 head should be admitted for import at the full levy in 1995;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3076/94 of 16 December 1994 introduces management measures for imports for the first half of 1995 in respect of 50 % of the aforementioned figure; whereas management measures should be taken in respect of the other 50 % with, as countries of origin, the aforementioned countries;
Whereas the Commission will closely monitor developments on the beef and veal market so as to be able to react immediately to any changes in the relevant economic criteria;
Whereas, in order to take account to the greatest possible extent of the traditional structure of the Community veal market, imports should be restricted to animals weighing 80 kg or less;
Whereas experience shows that limiting imports can give rise to speculative import applications; whereas, in order to guarantee that the planned measures function correctly, most of the quantities available should be reserved for so-called traditional importers of live bovine animals; whereas, so as not to introduce rigidity into trade relations in the sector, a second allocation should be made available for operators able to show that they are carrying out a genuine activity involving trade in a significant number of animals with countries which are third countries on 31 December 1994; whereas in consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, a minimum of 100 animals should be required to have been exported or imported during 1994 by the operators concerned; whereas a batch of 100 animals in principle constitutes a normal load and whereas experience has shown that the sale or purchase of a single batch is a minimum requirement for a transaction to be considered real and viable; whereas verification of those criteria requires that all applications from the same operator be submitted in the same Member State;
Whereas steps must be taken to ensure that importers in the new Member States falling within the first category can participate fairly in the allocation of the quantities available; whereas for those importers, therefore, imports from countries which are for them third countries on 31 December 1994 of animals corresponding to those to which the quota refers carried out between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 1994 should be taken into account as reference quantities giving access to the quantities reserved for traditional importers;
Whereas, so as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be denied to operators no longer carrying out an activity in the beef and veal sector on 1 January 1995;
Whereas administrative and technical procedures for the allocation between the eligible operators and for the issue and use of import licences must be established; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (3), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Imports into the Community, at the levy provided for in the Common Customs Tariff of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102 90 05, 0102 90 21, 0102 90 29, 0102 90 41 and 0102 90 49, as referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, originating in the third countries listed in Annex I, shall be subject to the management measures laid down in this Regulation.
1. Import licences for the second half of 1995 may be issued in respect of not more than 72 150 animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05.
2. The quantity referred to in paragraph 1 shall be split into two parts, as follows:
(a) the first part equal to 70 %, i.e. 50 505 head, shall be allocated among:
- importers from the Community as constituted on 31 December 1994 who can furnish proof of having imported animals falling within CN code 0102 90 10 (1) or CN code 0102 90 05 during 1992, 1993 or 1994 at the full levy and who are entered in a VAT register of a Member State, and - importers from the new Member States who can furnish proof of having imported animals falling within the abovementioned CN codes during 1992, 1993 and 1994 at the full levy from countries which are for them third countries on 31 December 1994 and who are entered in a VAT register of a Member State;
(b) the second part, equal to 30 % i.e. 21 645 head shall be allocated among importers who can furnish proof of having imported and/or exported at least 100 live bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 apart from those under (a), during 1994 from/to countries which are third countries on 31 December 1994 and who are entered in a VAT register of a Member State.
3. The 50 505 head shall be allocated among the eligible importers in proportion to their imports of animals within the meaning of Article 1 at the full levy during 1992, 1993 and 1994 proven in accordance with paragraph 5.
4. The 21 645 head shall be allocated in proportion to the quantities applied for by the eligible importers.
5. Proof of import and export shall be provided exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation or the export document duly stamped by the customs authorities.
Member States may accept duly certified copies of the aforementioned documents where the applicant can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authority that he was not able to obtain the original documents.
1. Importers who on 1 January 1995 were no longer engaged in any activity in the beef and veal sector shall not qualify for allocation pursuant to Article 2 (2) (a).
2. Any company formed by the merger of companies each having rights under Article 2 (3) shall benefit from the same rights as the companies from which it was formed.
1. Import applications may be presented only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered within the meaning of Article 2 (2).
2. For the purposes of Article 2 (2) (a), importers shall present the import applications to the competent authorities together with the proof referred to in Article 2 (5) by 10 July 1995 at the latest.
After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 24 July 1995 at the latest, the list of importers who meet the conditions for acceptance, showing in particular their names and addresses and the numbers of animals imported at the full levy during each of the reference years.
3. For the purposes of Article 2 (2) (b), importers may lodge import applications until 10 July 1995, together with the proof referred to in Article 2 (5).
Only one application may be lodged by each applicant. Where the same applicant lodges more than one application, all applications from that person shall be inadmissible. Applications may not concern a quantity larger than the available quantity.
After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 24 July 1995 at the latest, the list of applicants and the quantities requested.
4. All notifications, including notifications of nil applications, shall be made by telex or fax, drawn up on the basis of the models in Annexes I and II in the case where applications have been lodged.
1. The Commission shall decide to what extent applications may be accepted.
2. As regards the applications referred to in Article 4 (3), if the quantities in respect of which applications are made exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall reduce the quantities applied for by a fixed percentage.
If the reduction referred to in the preceding subparagraph results in a quantity of less than 100 head per application, the allocation shall be by drawing lots, by batches of 100 head, by the Member States concerned. If the remaining quantity is less than 100 head, a single licence shall be issued for that quantity.
1. Imports of the quantities allocated in accordance with Article 5 shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
2. Licence applications may be presented only in the Member State in which the import application was lodged.
3. Licences shall be issued at the request of operators after the entry into force of the decision referred to in Article 5 (1).
The number of animals for which a licence is issued shall be expressed in units. Where necessary, numbers shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be.
4. Licence applications and licences shall contain one of the following entries:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/582/EC of 20 December 1995 on the conclusion of the Agreements in the form of Exchanges of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway and the Swiss Confederation, of the other part, concerning certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, under the Agreement concluded between the Community and the Kingdom of Norway, access is guaranteed from 1 January 1995 for all Community importers to the annual tariff quota of 1 177 tonnes of fish feed originating in Norway provided for in Annex II to the said Agreement; whereas a zero rate of customs duty applies to that quota;
Whereas Decision 95/582/EC provides for the opening of the said quota with retroactive effect; whereas detailed rules for the application of the quota are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 306/96 (2); whereas in 1995 some Community importers paid the full customs duty applicable to imports outside the quota when importing the said product from Norway; whereas some importers then applied for reimbursement of the duties paid, providing, in support, the customs documents relating to the imports in question;
Whereas the quantities thus imported exceed the quota; whereas a reducing factor must therefore be applied to reimbursements of the duties paid;
Whereas, in order to reimburse importers, the exact quantity of products imported under the quota in 1995 must be known; whereas all importers of the products in question should be asked to inform the competent authorities of the Member State in which the import licences were issued in 1995 within a reasonable time of the quantities of such imports and of the duties paid; whereas a time limit should also be fixed before which the Member States concerned must forward the above information to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. Importers who, in 1995, imported into the Community products covered by CN code 2309 90 31 originating in Norway and who paid import duty thereon shall submit an application for reimbursement of the duties paid to the authorities competent for issuing the import licences in the Member State, together with supporting documents, by 15 November 1996.
Importers who have already submitted applications need not re-submit them.
2. Within 10 working days of the deadline laid down in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall notify Unit VI-C-2 of the Directorate-General for Agriculture of the European Commission of the quantities of products imported and of the duties paid.
3. Applications submitted or forwarded after the time limits laid down shall be rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 laying down detailed implementing rules for the import of molasses in the sugar sector
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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 24(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95(3) lays down that representative prices on the world market, on the basis of which the additional duties on imports of molasses are fixed, are normally fixed every week in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) The current system involves fixing representative prices and additional duties every week, even when the amounts are unchanged or vary only slightly. In order to simplify and clarify the fixing of representative prices and additional duties, provision should be made for representative prices and additional duties to be fixed every two weeks and for their amendment by the Commission during this period subject to certain precise conditions.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, paragraphs 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:
"1. The additional duties referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be applied to molasses falling within CN codes 1703 10 00 and 1703 90 00.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, representative prices for molasses on the world market or on the Community import market as referred to in Article 24(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall mean the cif prices for those products established and fixed by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
Those prices shall be fixed every two weeks in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. The Commission may amend them during that two-week period every Thursday where the information available to it indicates a change in the representative prices previously fixed of at least EUR 0,5 per 100 kilograms. Member States shall send the Commission by Wednesday of each week the information referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 at their disposal."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003
of 20 November 2003
establishing administrative procedures for the second tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 2(3) and (4), Article 6(3) and Articles 13, 23 and 24 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 427/2003(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003(4), sets forth annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex I to that Regulation. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas.
(2) In view of the enlargement of the European Community on 1 May 2004, the quotas set forth in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 427/2003 have been increased by Council Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003.
(3) Given that on 1 May 2004 the European Community will be enlarged, it is appropriate to allocate the 2004 quota in two tranches, the first one from January to April 2004 to importers in the current Member States and the second one from May to December 2004 to importers in all countries that will be Member States from May 2004 onwards.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1351/2003(5) established administrative procedures for the first tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China.
(5) This Regulation shall allocate the quotas relating to quantities for May to December 2004.
(6) The Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96(7), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. These provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
(7) Certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota period. It is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realisation of the planned imports. In order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the second tranche of the 2004 quotas should accordingly be adopted before May 2004.
(8) After examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted. Under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants.
(9) This has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows.
(10) The reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for the traditional importers in the Community in the previous Regulation on the administration of these quotas cannot be updated. The years 2000 and 2001 were characterised by certain distortions, in particular a more than twofold increase of applications from one Member State, which resulted in substantially reduced individual quota allocations to all non-traditional importers in all Member States. In 2002, there was a significant increase in applications by non-traditional importers from United Kingdom companies to other Member States suggesting an effort to circumvent the related-persons test. Also, investigations are ongoing into a number of 2002 and 2003 licence holders that may have breached the related-persons test. The years 1998 or 1999 are therefore the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question imported by the importers in the Community. Traditional importers in the Community must, therefore, prove that they have imported products originating in the People's Republic of China and covered by the quotas in question in the years 1998 or 1999. The years 2001 and 2002 are the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question imported by importers in the acceding States. Given that the large majority of importers in the acceding States were not subject to import restrictions and therefore were under no legal requirement to keep import documents for both 1998 and 1999, the provision of evidence concerning 1998 and 1999 would impose disproportionate burdens on them. Traditional importers in the acceding States must therefore prove that they have imported in 2001 or 2002 products originating in the People's Republic of China and covered by the quotas in question.
(11) It has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers. Consequently, in accordance with Article 2(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
(12) The Commission considers it necessary that operators applying as non-traditional importers and falling under the definition of related persons within the meaning of Article 143 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) 2913/92(8) establishing the Community Customs Code, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 881/2003(9), may only submit a single licence application for each line of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers. In order to exclude speculative applications, the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume.
(13) It is appropriate to set the quota share reserved to traditional importers at 75 % and the share of non-traditional importers at 25 %.
(14) It also appears appropriate to transfer quantities not taken up by non-traditional importers to traditional importers, in order to ensure that these quantities can still be allocated in the year in which they were attributed.
(15) For the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and non-traditional importers.
(16) The Member States and acceding States shall inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. The information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question.
(17) To enable traditional Community importers to continue their business practices of importing the entire amount of their guaranteed quantities early in the quota year and to ensure competitiveness with importers in acceding States who are not subject to licence requirements before 1 May 2004, licences issued by the competent national authorities in the Member States shall be issued as soon as possible after the adoption of the quantitative criteria by the Commission. They shall be valid from the date of issuance until 31 December 2004.
(18) These measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
This Regulation lays down specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003, amending Regulation (EC) No 427/2003 for the quotas relating to quantities for May to December 2004.
Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation.
1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
2. The portions of each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and non-traditional importers for the second tranche of the 2004 quotas are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
3. (a) The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested. The volume requested by each applicant may not exceed that shown in Annex II.
(b) Operators that are deemed to be related persons as defined by Article 143 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 may only submit a single licence application for the portion of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers regarding the goods described in the application. In addition to the statement required by Article 3(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 738/94, as amended by Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 983/96, the licence application for the non-traditional quota shall state that the applicant is not related to any other operator applying for the non-traditional quota line in question.
(c) Those proportions of the quantities reserved for non-traditional importers and not allocated will be added to the quantities reserved for traditional importers.
Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex III to this Regulation from the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, until 15.00 (Brussels time) on 31 December 2003.
1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for the traditional importers, "traditional" importers shall mean:
- operators established in the Community before 1 May 2004, who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 1998 or 1999 into the Community,
- operators established in one of the acceding States before 1 May 2004 who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 2001 or 2002 into the acceding States.
2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during either calendar year 1998 or 1999 for traditional importers established in the Community and either calendar year 2001 or 2002 for traditional importers established in the acceding States, as indicated by the importer, of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.
3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during either the calendar year 1998 or 1999 (Community Member States) or the calendar year 2001 or 2002 (acceding States) carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over.
Member States and acceding States shall inform the Commission no later than 10.00 (Brussels time) on 23 January 2004 of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation.
The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 10 February 2004.
Import licences issued by the competent national authorities in acceding States shall be valid from 1 May 2004 to 31 December 2004. Import licences issued by the competent national authorities in the Member States shall be issued as soon as possible after the adoption of the quantitative criteria by the Commission. They shall be valid from the date of issuance until 31 December 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 for the 2007/2008 marketing year
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 markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down the national and regional quotas for the production of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup. For the 2007/2008 marketing year those quotas must be adjusted by the end of February 2007 at the latest.
(2) The adjustments result in particular from the application of Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, which provide for the allocation of additional sugar quotas and additional and supplementary isoglucose quotas. The adjustments must take account of the communications from the Member States provided for in Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (2). These communications were sent to the Commission before 31 January 2007 and relate in particular to the additional and supplementary quotas already allocated on the date on which the communication was drawn up.
(3) Undertakings may request additional sugar quotas until 30 September 2007. Supplementary isoglucose quotas are allocated in accordance with the conditions laid down by the Member States. The additional and supplementary quotas which are to be allocated for the 2007/2008 marketing year, but which do not appear in the communications sent before 31 January 2007, will be taken into account in the next adjustment of the quotas laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 before the end of February 2008.
(4) The adjustments to the quotas laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 also result from the application of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), which provides for restructuring aid for undertakings which renounce their quotas. It is therefore necessary to take account of the quotas renounced for the 2007/2008 marketing year under the restructuring scheme.
(5) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 entered into force on 24 June 2008, but is to be applicable, in accordance with Article 188(2) thereof, only once its implementing provisions are applicable, and on 24 June 2013 at the latest.
(2) On 20 February 2012, the Commission submitted to the European Parliament and the Council a proposal for a Regulation laying down the Union Customs Code, in the form of a recast of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008, in order to replace it before its final date of application of 24 June 2013. However, the ordinary legislative procedure cannot be completed in time for the adoption and entry into force of that proposed Regulation before that date. In the absence of any corrective legislative action, Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 would therefore apply on 24 June 2013 and Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 would be repealed. That would generate legal uncertainty about the customs legislation actually applicable as from that date, and would be an obstacle to maintaining a comprehensive and consistent Union legal framework for customs matters pending the adoption of the proposed Regulation.
(3) In order to prevent such serious difficulties relating to the customs legislation of the Union and to provide the European Parliament and the Council with adequate time to complete the process of adoption of the recast of the Union Customs Code, the final date of application of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008, as laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 188(2) thereof, should be postponed. The new date of application considered appropriate for that purpose is 1 November 2013.
(4) In view of the urgency of the matter, an exception to the eight-week period referred to in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, should apply.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In the second subparagraph of Article 188(2) of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008, the date of ‧24 June 2013‧ is replaced by that of ‧1 November 2013‧.
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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2599/95 of 30 October 1995 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for rum originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States (1996 to 1999)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention (1) entered into force on 1 September 1991;
Whereas, pursuant to Protocol 6 to the said Convention, with regard to the arrangements applicable from 1996 the Council has decided, on the basis of a report from the Commission, to discontinue as from 1 January 1996 the quota for 'light` ACP rum and to retain a tariff quota for 'traditional` ACP rum until full liberalization on 1 January 2000;
Whereas the volume of the tariff quota decided on by the Council has been set at 58 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol for 1996, 61 000 hectolitres for 1997, 64 000 hectolitres for 1998 and 67 000 hectolitres for 1999;
Whereas for these reasons an appropriate definition of 'traditional` ACP rum should be given; whereas to that end the general definition of rum given in Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89 (2) which stipulates that traditional rum is characterized by a high content of volatile substances other than ethyl and methyl alcohol, should be taken as a basis;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the said quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas the decision for the opening of tariff quotas in fulfilment of its international obligations should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficient common administration of these quotas, however, there is no obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas measures should be laid down to ensure that Protocol 6 is implemented under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community, and between the Member States,
The following products originating in ACP States shall be imported free of customs duties for the periods and within the limits of the Commuity tariff quotas shown next to each of them.
>TABLE>
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures to ensure the effective administration thereof.
The provisions required to implement Article 1, and in particular:
(a) the technical amendments and adjustments which may be needed as a result of amendments to the combined nomenclature and the Taric codes;
(b) the adjustments required as a result of the conclusion of protocols or exchanges of letters between the Community and the ACP States concerned in the framework of the Convention referred to herein;
shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4 (2).
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee established by Article 247 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (1).
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the Committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not vote.
The Commission shall adopt measures which shall apply immediately. However, if these measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee, they shall be communicated by the Commission to the Council forthwith. In that event:
- the Commission shall defer application of the measures which it has decided upon for three months from the date of such communication,
- the Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within the time limit referred to in the previous indent.
3. The Committee may examine any issue in connection with the implementation of this Regulation put forward by its chairman either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry for free circulation together with a request for preferential treatment for a product referred to in Article 1 and the declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements from the quota volume.
Requests to draw from the quota, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned of the declarations of entry for free circulation, provided the residual balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them to the quota as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis. The Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings granted.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and continuous access to the quota as long as the residual balance so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3705/90 of 18 December 1990 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention (2) shall apply to the products covered by this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 31 March 2003
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,

(notified under document number C(2006) 2410)
(Only the French text is authentic)
(2006/434/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in Luxembourg in 2002. The emergence of this disease presented a serious risk for the Community's livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2003/491/EC of 3 July 2003 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the eradication of classical swine fever in Luxembourg in 2002 (2) granted a financial contribution from the Community to Luxembourg towards the expenditure incurred under the emergency measures to combat classical swine fever implemented in 2002.
(4) In accordance with that Decision, a first instalment of EUR 500 000 was granted.
(5) Pursuant to that Decision, the balance of the Community contribution is to be based on the application submitted by Luxembourg on 17 July 2003, documents setting out the figures quoted in the application, and the results of the in situ checks carried out by the Commission. The amount set out in the application submitted by Luxembourg was EUR 3 253 235, for which the Community financial contribution may not be higher than 50 % of the total eligible expenditure.
(6) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of classical swine fever in Luxembourg in 2002 should now be fixed.
(7) The results of the checks carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial support mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.
(8) The Commission’s observations and method of calculating the eligible expenditure were communicated to Luxembourg in a letter dated 4 November 2005.
(9) The Commission’s final conclusions were sent to Luxembourg on 18 January 2006, taking into account the additional information sent by Luxembourg to the Commission on 15 December 2005.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating classical swine fever in Luxembourg in 2002 pursuant to Decision 2003/491/EC is fixed at EUR 1 589 734.
Since a first instalment of EUR 500 000 has already been paid pursuant to Decision 2003/491/EC, the balance of EUR 1 089 734 shall be paid to Luxembourg.
This Decision is addressed to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 18 January 2013
exempting exploration for oil and gas in Cyprus from the application of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors
(notified under document C(2013) 60)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/39/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1), and in particular Article 30(4) and (6),
Having regard to the request submitted by Noble Energy International Ltd by e-mail of 17 August 2012,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
(1) On 17 August 2012, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 30(4) of Directive 2004/17/EC, transmitted to the Commission by e-mail.
(2) The request submitted by Noble Energy International Ltd concerns the exploration for oil and gas in Cyprus. In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC, the Commission informed Cyprus thereof by letter of 26 September 2012 and requested additional information. Cyprus replied on 24 October 2012.
II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
(3) Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC provides that contracts intended to enable the performance of one of the activities to which Directive 2004/17/EC applies are not subject to that Directive if, in the Member State in which it is carried out, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. Direct exposure to competition is assessed on the basis of objective criteria, taking account of the specific characteristics of the sector concerned. Access is deemed to be unrestricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the relevant Union legislation opening a given sector or a part of it.
(4) Cyprus has implemented and applied Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on the conditions for granting and using authorizations for the prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons (2), access to the market should therefore be deemed not to be restricted in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3) of Directive 2004/17/EC. Direct exposure to competition in a particular market should be evaluated on the basis of various criteria, none of which are necessarily decisive.
(5) For the purposes of assessing whether the relevant operators are subject to direct competition in the markets concerned by this decision, the market share of the main players and the degree of concentration of those markets have to be taken into account.
(6) This Decision is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition.
III. ASSESSMENT
(7) According to established Commission practice (3), exploration for oil and natural gas constitutes one relevant product market, since it is not possible from the outset to determine whether the exploration will result in finding oil or natural gas. It has furthermore been established through the same, long-standing Commission practice that the geographical scope of that market is worldwide. Given that there is no indication that the definition of the geographical scope of the market would be different in this case, it will be maintained for the purposes of this decision.
(8) The market shares of operators active in exploration can be measured by reference to three variables: the capital expenditure, proven reserves and expected production. The use of capital expenditure to measure the market shares of operators on the exploration market has been found to be unsuitable, inter alia, because of the large differences between the required levels of investments that are necessary in different geographic areas.
(9) The two other parameters have typically been applied to assess the market shares of economic operators within this sector, namely, their share of proven reserves and of the expected production (4).
(10) There is only one economic operator active in the market of oil and gas exploration in Cyprus, namely the applicant, which obtained the first licence issued in 2008 following the completion of the first licensing round in Cyprus. However, all companies engaging in oil and gas exploration in the worldwide market are potential competitors as they have had access to both this first and to the second licensing round which was launched in February 2012. According to Cyprus, 33 applications have been submitted, by 15 undertakings or consortia, to this second round.
(11) As of 31 December 2011, the global, proven oil and gas reserves amounted to a total of 481,4 billion standard cubic metres oil equivalent (hereafter ‘Sm3 o. e.’) worldwide, according to the available information (5). As of 31 December 2011, Cyprus has only one discovery of hydrocarbons, that reported by the applicant, with natural gas reserves estimated at almost 200 million Sm3 o. e. (6). These reserves, if proven would be equivalent to slightly more than 0,09 % of worldwide proven reserves of gas and much less as a share of total oil and gas and would raise the applicant’s share of worldwide proven natural gas reserves from 0,0416 % to 0,1367 %.
(12) The exploration market is not highly concentrated. Apart from State-owned companies, the market is characterised by the presence of three international vertically integrated private players named the super majors (BP, ExxonMobil and Shell) as well as a certain number of so-called ‘majors’. These elements are an indication of direct exposure to competition.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
(13) In view of the factors examined, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in Cyprus.
(14) Since the condition of unrestricted access to the market is deemed to be met, Directive 2004/17/EC should not apply when contracting entities award contracts intended to enable the exploration for oil and natural gas to be carried out in Cyprus, nor when design contests are organised for the pursuit of such an activity in that geographic area.
(15) This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation as of August to October 2012 as it appears from the information submitted by the applicant and Cyprus. It may be revised, should significant changes in the legal or factual situation mean that the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are no longer met.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts,
Directive 2004/17/EC shall not apply to contracts awarded by contracting entities and intended to enable the exploration for oil and natural gas to be carried out in Cyprus.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus.

on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for oranges will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for oranges after 23 December 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
Applications for system B export licences for oranges submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 23 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are hereby rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 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 98/2/EC (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 92/76/EEC of 6 October 1992 recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community (3), as last amended by Directive 98/17/EC (4),
Whereas under Commission Directive 92/76/EEC, as amended, certain zones in Ireland and Italy were provisionally recognised as 'protected zones` in respect of certain harmful organisms for a period expiring on 31 December 1998;
Whereas, from information supplied by Austria, Ireland and Italy and from the survey monitoring information gathered by Commission experts it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zones for Austria, Ireland and Italy in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should be extended for a further limited period to enable the responsible official bodies of Austria, Ireland and Italy to complete the information on the distribution of Erwinia amylovora and to continue and complete their eradication programmes for this harmful organism in their respective countries, and to enable Commission experts to monitor and assess the effectiveness of such programmes;
Whereas, from information supplied by Finland and from the survey monitoring information gathered by Commission experts it has become apparent that the provisional recognition of the protected zone for Finland in respect of Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens should be changed to a 'permanent` status and extended beyond 31 December 1998; whereas the necessity of such recognition shall be reviewed in the light of the outcome of the review of Council Directive 69/465/EEC of 8 December 1969 on the control of potato cyst eelworm (5) and the implementation thereof;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Article 1 of Directive 92/76/EEC is amended as follows:
1. in the first subparagraph the words 'in the case of (b)2 for Ireland and the region of Apulia in Italy the said zones are recognised until 31 December 1998 and for Austria until 31 December 1998` are replaced by 'in the case of (b)2 for Austria, Ireland and the regions of Apulia, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardia and Veneto in Italy the said zones are recognised until 31 March 2000`;
2. the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
'In the case of point (a)5b, the zone is recognised until 31 December 1996`.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive with effect from 1 January 1999. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The procedure for such a reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall immediately communicate to the Commission the essential provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 provides that all the elements of the integrated system are to apply from 1 January 1996 at the latest; whereas, in the light of experience gained, notably in setting up alphanumeric identification systems for agricultural parcels and data bases, this deadline should be postponed for one year;
Whereas, given the considerable investment required to ensure that the integrated system is established definitively, provision should be made to prolong by one year the period for which the Community financial contribution may be granted,
Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 6 (2) shall be replaced by the following:
'2. Area aid applications must be submitted by a date to be set by the Member State which may not be later than the dates referred to in Articles 10, 11 and 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
In all cases, the date shall be set bearing in mind, inter alia, the period required for all relevant data to be available for the proper administrative and financial management of the aid and for the checks provided for in Article 8 to be carried out.`;
2. Article 10 (2) shall be amended as follows:
(a) the first subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
'The Community's financial contribution shall be granted for a period of five years from 1992, within the limits of the appropriations allocated for this purpose.`;

>TABLE>
(c) the following sentence shall be added to the fourth subparagraph:
'However, appropriations which have not been used may be redistributed, under the conditions laid down by this Regulation, to those Member States which apply for them.`;
3. Article 13 (1) (b) shall be replaced by the following:
'(b) as regards the other elements referred to in Article 2, at the latest from:
- 1 January 1998 in the case of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
- 1 January 1997 in the case of the other Member States.`
