Commission Directive 2012/36/EU of 19 November 2012 amending Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on driving licences Text with EEA relevance

20.11.2012 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 321/54
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2012/36/EU
of 19 November 2012
amending Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on driving licences
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The codes and sub-codes set out in Annex I to Directive 2006/126/EC need to be updated in the light of the new vehicle categories introduced by Directive 2006/126/EC whose technical characteristics are different from those in force under Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences (2). In this context, driving entitlements acquired before Directive 2006/126/EC applies, on 19 January 2013, should be maintained.
(2) The contents of the driving licence test for vehicles of category C1 vehicles should be adapted to the different characteristics of the vehicles falling under this category. Contrary to category C vehicles, which are dedicated to professional transport of goods, category C1 is heterogeneous and includes a wide range of vehicles, such as vehicles for leisure or personal use, emergency or fire-fighting vehicles, or utility vehicles used for professional purposes but where driving is not the principal activity of the driver. Drivers of such vehicles should not be required to demonstrate during the driving test their knowledge of rules or equipment only applicable to drivers subject to the legislation related to the professional transport sector, such as Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport (3) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipment in road transport (4). Such an accommodation of existing rules would reduce the risk that drivers drive with overloaded category B vehicles in order to avoid the costs of training and taking the test on C or C1 vehicles, and thus improve road safety. It would also minimise the administrative and financial burden on the SMEs and micro-enterprises having to use such utility vehicles in the course of their business.
(3) The requirements concerning test vehicles motorcycles of category A1, A2 and A to be used during the test of skills and behaviour need to be revised in the light of the technical progress, in particular the development and a wider use of electric motorcycles. The technical specifications for the test vehicles should also be adapted to ensure that applicants are tested on vehicles which are representative of the category for which the driving licence would be issued.
(4) The minimum requirements for test vehicles and for the contents of the test of skills and behaviour for category C and D vehicles should be amended in the light of technical progress, in particular to take into account the increasing development and use in the transport industry of more modern, safer and less polluting vehicles equipped with a wide range of semi-automatic or hybrid transmission systems. The competence of drivers should be tested on their abilities to use the transmission system of vehicles safely, economically and in an environmentally friendly way. The simplification of the current restrictions to drive automatic vehicles would also reduce the administrative and financial burden on SMEs and micro-enterprises operating in the road transport.
(5) Since Directive 2006/126/EC will fully apply on 19 January 2013 this Directive shall enter into force as from the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(6) Directive 2006/126/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on driving licences,
Annexes I and II to Directive 2006/126/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2013 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

(6) The Copenhagen European Council on 12 and 13 December 2002 adopted a Declaration stating that the ‘Berlin plus’ arrangements and the implementation thereof will apply only to those Member States which are also either NATO members or parties to the ‘Partnership for Peace’, and which have consequently concluded bilateral security agreements with NATO,
Brigadier General Robert BRIEGER is hereby appointed EU Force Commander for the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This Decision shall take effect on 6 December 2011.

(a) footnote 1 is replaced by the following:
‘(1) Test methods shall be those specified in EN 228:2008. Member States may adopt the analytical method specified in replacement EN 228:2008 standard if it can be shown to give at least the same accuracy and at least the same level of precision as the analytical method it replaces.’;
(b) footnote 6 is replaced by the following:
‘(6) Other mono-alcohols and ethers with a final boiling point no higher than that stated in EN 228:2008.’;
(2) in Annex II, footnote 1 is replaced by the following:
‘(1) Test methods shall be those specified in EN 590:2009. Member States may adopt the analytical method specified in replacement EN 590:2009 standard if it can be shown to give at least the same accuracy and at least the same level of precision as the analytical method it replaces.’;
(3) Annex III is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within 12 months of its publication in the Official Journal.
They shall apply those provisions within 12 months of the publication of this Directive in the Official Journal.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 602/2001(4), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to all third countries except for the United States of America and Canada was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1558/2001(5).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1044/2012 on a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as regards the rules of origin used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences to take account of the special situation of Guatemala regarding exports of certain fisheries products to the Union
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 89(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1044/2012 (3), the Commission granted Guatemala a derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 allowing it to consider certain processed fishery products produced in Guatemala from non-originating fish as originating in Guatemala. This derogation expired on 30 June 2013.
(2) By letter dated 27 May 2013, Guatemala submitted a request for the extension of the derogation. The request is for the extension until 31 December 2013 with respect to 987,5 tonnes of cooked, frozen and vacuum-packed tuna fillets known as ‘loins’ (hereafter ‘tuna loins’) of CN code 1604 14 16. By letters dated 17 and 29 July 2013, Guatemala submitted additional information in support of that request.
(3) The request demonstrates that the time covered by the said derogation was insufficient for Guatemala to secure adequate flows of originating tuna to the country.
(4) The extension of the derogation is therefore required in order to give Guatemala sufficient time to prepare its fish processing industry to comply with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin of fish.
(5) In order to ensure that the temporary derogation is limited to the time needed for Guatemala to achieve compliance with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin of tuna loins, the derogation should be granted from 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013.
(6) In order to ensure the continuity of exports of the fish eligible for preferential tariff treatment from Guatemala to the Union, the derogation should be granted with retroactive effect from 1 July 2013.
(7) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1044/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1044/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1044/2012 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the Member States in accordance with the Treaties.

2008/713/EC: Council Decision of 8 July 2008 on the existence of an excessive deficit in the United Kingdom
|
5.9.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 238/5
COUNCIL DECISION
of 8 July 2008
on the existence of an excessive deficit in the United Kingdom
(2008/713/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by the United Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) Article 104 of the Treaty lays down an excessive deficit procedure (EDP) to ensure that Member States avoid excessive government deficits or that they correct such deficits when they occur.
(2) Pursuant to point 5 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the obligation under Article 104(1) of the Treaty to avoid excessive general government deficits does not apply to the United Kingdom unless it moves to the third stage of economic and monetary union. While in the second stage of economic and monetary union, the United Kingdom shall endeavour to avoid excessive deficits, pursuant to Article 116(4) of the Treaty.
(3) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(4) The excessive deficit procedure under Article 104 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1), which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact, provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provision of the said Protocol.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit exists in a Member State or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in the United Kingdom. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of the United Kingdom on 2 July 2008.
(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of the United Kingdom, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.
(7)
(8) According to the EDP data notified by the UK authorities in March 2008, the United Kingdom's general government deficit in 2008/09 was planned to reach 3,2 % of GDP, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value; this ratio was identical to that published in the United Kingdom's March 2008 budget, which also presented budgetary plans showing a general government deficit of 2,8 % of GDP in 2009/10. The deficit figure in the latter year is lower than the corresponding figure in the Commission services' spring forecast of 3,3 % of GDP, mainly due to differences in expected GDP growth in 2009/10. Following the publication of the March 2008 budget, a policy announcement on 13 May reducing personal income tax in 2008/09 will cost GBP 2,7 billion in 2008/09. Adding this to the Commission services' spring 2008 forecast would imply a deficit of 3,5 % of GDP. Although above the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value, the deficit planned for 2008/09, as notified in March 2008, is close to it. The excess over the 3 % of GDP reference value is not exceptional in the sense of Article 104(2) of the Treaty. In particular, it does not result from an unusual event outside the control of the United Kingdom authorities, nor is it the result of a severe economic downturn. The Commission services' spring 2008 forecast projects UK growth to slow in 2008 and 2009 to annual rates below potential. Nevertheless, GDP growth is expected to reach 1,7 % in 2008 and 1,6 % in 2009. The excess over the 3 % of GDP reference value is also considered not temporary, with the Commission services forecasting, on the basis of unchanged policies, a deficit ratio in 2009/10 still higher than 3 % (at 3,3 %). This indicates that the Treaty requirement concerning the deficit criterion is not fulfilled.
(9)
(10) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘other relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. This double condition is not met. Therefore, other relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in the United Kingdom.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2012 of 17 January 2012 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities available to EU vessels for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are not subject to international negotiations or agreements (2), lays down quotas for 2012.

COUNCIL DECISION No 1413/2013/EU
of 17 December 2013
amending Decision 2002/546/EC as regards its period of application
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2002/546/EC (2) authorises Spain to apply exemptions from, or reductions in, the tax known as ‘Arbitrio sobre Importaciones y Entregas de Mercancías en las Islas Canarias’ (hereinafter ‘AIEM’) to certain products produced in the Canary Islands. The Annex to that Decision contains a list of products to which tax exemptions and reductions may be applied. The difference between the tax on products produced in the Canary Islands and that on other products is not to exceed 5, 15 or 25 percentage points, depending on the product.
(2) The exemptions from, and reductions in, the AIEM establish differentiated taxation, benefiting the local production of some products. This constitutes state aid that requires the approval of the Commission.
(3) Council Decision 2002/546/EC was originally applicable until 31 December 2011. At the end of 2011, Council Decision 895/2011/EU (3) amended Decision 2002/546/EC, extending its period of application until 31 December 2013, based on the Commission confirmation that the specific structural, social and economic situation of the Canary Islands, which is compounded by the special constraints referred to in Article 349 TFEU which justified the authorisation of total exemptions and partial reductions of the AIEM tax to a list of products produced in this outermost region, still persists.
(4) Since the structural, social and economic situation in the Canary Islands is still in place, it is necessary to further extend the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC.
(5) On 28 June 2013, the Commission adopted its Guidelines on regional state aid for 2014-2020, setting out how Member States can grant aid to companies in order to support the development of disadvantaged regions in the Union between 2014 and 2020. These Guidelines, which will enter into force on 1 July 2014, form part of a broader strategy to modernise state aid control, which aims to foster growth in the single market by encouraging more effective aid measures and focusing the Commission's enforcement on cases with the biggest impact on competition.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to extend the period of application of Decision 2002/546/EC by six months, so that its expiry date coincides with the date of entry into force of the Guidelines on regional state aid for 2014–2020.
(7) Decision 2002/546/EC should be amended accordingly.
(8) Given the urgent need to extend the validity of Decision 2002/546/EC before the end of 2013, 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 and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, should apply,
In the first sentence of Article 1(1) of Decision 2002/546/EC, the date ‘31 December 2013’ is replaced by ‘30 June 2014’.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1731/2002
of 30 September 2002
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 1052/2002(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) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products 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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 28(4) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the European Food Safety Authority on 12 September 2007,
Whereas
(1) The Panel on food additives, flavourings, processing aids and materials in contact with food is a key element of the safety of the food chain and consumer protection.
(2) Experience demonstrates that, since its creation that Panel has received almost 50 % of the total number of mandates sent to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Despite the adoption of a high number of scientific opinions per year, the Panel faces difficulties in managing its workload.
(3) It is expected that the number of mandates received by the Panel will increase in the future with the adoption of new vertical legislation in the area of vitamins and minerals added to foods and on food additives, flavourings, and food enzymes.
(4) It is therefore necessary to replace that Panel by two new Panels named respectively ‘the Panel on food additives and nutrient sources added to food’ and ‘the Panel on food contact materials, enzymes, flavourings and processing aids’.
(5) The division of responsibilities between the two new Panels should aim at ensuring that the expertise of each Panel corresponds to their respective field of competence and contributes to a better balance of the work. The procedures governing the EFSA Scientific Committee and Panels should guarantee flexible coordination and harmonised methods.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 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 Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 the first subparagraph is amended as follows:
1. point (a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) the Panel on food additives and nutrient sources added to food;’
2. the following new point (j) is added:
‘(j) the Panel on food contact materials, enzymes, flavourings, and processing aids’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 1350/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 establishing a second programme of Community action in the field of health (2008-13) (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Implementing Rules’), and in particular Article 90 thereof,

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2011/C 69/01 (5) was adopted on 22 February 2011.
(2) A number of calls for tenders initially planned generated savings or were not successful and will not be implemented in 2011. Therefore it is necessary to modify the budget distribution among the different financing mechanisms indicated in point 2 of Annex I to Decision 2011/C 69/01 to allow for financing of a larger number of project grants.
(3) The variations in the budget initially allocated to the specific actions exceed the 20 % indicated in Article 5 of Decision 2011/C 69/01 and therefore constitute a substantial change of the financing decision adopted necessitating its amendment. The financial flexibility of 20 % should apply to the different financing mechanisms.
(4) This Decision is also a financing decision for the Presidency conference to be held in the first half of 2012 under the Danish Presidency mentioned in Annex I point 2.4.1 of Decision 2011/C 69/01.
(5) Decision 2011/C 69/01 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 10 of the Programme Decision,
Decision 2011/C 69/01 is amended as follows:
1. The first paragraph of Article 5 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex I to Decision 2011/C 69/01 is amended as follows:
(a) in point 1.2, Resources, the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) In its communication entitled ‘Single Market Act — Twelve levers to boost growth and strengthen confidence — “Working together to create new growth”’, adopted on 13 April 2011, the Commission identified the need to raise to a similarly high level across all Member States the transparency of the social and environmental information provided by undertakings in all sectors. This is fully consistent with the possibility for Member States to require, as appropriate, further improvements to the transparency of undertakings' non-financial information, which is by its nature a continuous endeavour.
(2) The need to improve undertakings' disclosure of social and environmental information, by presenting a legislative proposal in this field, was reiterated in the Commission communication entitled ‘A renewed EU strategy 2011-14 for Corporate Social Responsibility’, adopted on 25 October 2011.
(3) In its resolutions of 6 February 2013 on, respectively, ‘Corporate Social Responsibility: accountable, transparent and responsible business behaviour and sustainable growth’ and ‘Corporate Social Responsibility: promoting society's interests and a route to sustainable and inclusive recovery’, the European Parliament acknowledged the importance of businesses divulging information on sustainability such as social and environmental factors, with a view to identifying sustainability risks and increasing investor and consumer trust. Indeed, disclosure of non-financial information is vital for managing change towards a sustainable global economy by combining long-term profitability with social justice and environmental protection. In this context, disclosure of non-financial information helps the measuring, monitoring and managing of undertakings' performance and their impact on society. Thus, the European Parliament called on the Commission to bring forward a legislative proposal on the disclosure of non-financial information by undertakings allowing for high flexibility of action, in order to take account of the multidimensional nature of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the diversity of the CSR policies implemented by businesses matched by a sufficient level of comparability to meet the needs of investors and other stakeholders as well as the need to provide consumers with easy access to information on the impact of businesses on society.
(4) The coordination of national provisions concerning the disclosure of non-financial information in respect of certain large undertakings is of importance for the interests of undertakings, shareholders and other stakeholders alike. Coordination is necessary in those fields because most of those undertakings operate in more than one Member State.
(5) It is also necessary to establish a certain minimum legal requirement as regards the extent of the information that should be made available to the public and authorities by undertakings across the Union. The undertakings subject to this Directive should give a fair and comprehensive view of their policies, outcomes, and risks.
(6) In order to enhance the consistency and comparability of non-financial information disclosed throughout the Union, certain large undertakings should prepare a non-financial statement containing information relating to at least environmental matters, social and employee-related matters, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and bribery matters. Such statement should include a description of the policies, outcomes and risks related to those matters and should be included in the management report of the undertaking concerned. The non-financial statement should also include information on the due diligence processes implemented by the undertaking, also regarding, where relevant and proportionate, its supply and subcontracting chains, in order to identify, prevent and mitigate existing and potential adverse impacts. It should be possible for Member States to exempt undertakings which are subject to this Directive from the obligation to prepare a non-financial statement when a separate report corresponding to the same financial year and covering the same content is provided.
(7) Where undertakings are required to prepare a non-financial statement, that statement should contain, as regards environmental matters, details of the current and foreseeable impacts of the undertaking's operations on the environment, and, as appropriate, on health and safety, the use of renewable and/or non-renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and air pollution. As regards social and employee-related matters, the information provided in the statement may concern the actions taken to ensure gender equality, implementation of fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation, working conditions, social dialogue, respect for the right of workers to be informed and consulted, respect for trade union rights, health and safety at work and the dialogue with local communities, and/or the actions taken to ensure the protection and the development of those communities. With regard to human rights, anti-corruption and bribery, the non-financial statement could include information on the prevention of human rights abuses and/or on instruments in place to fight corruption and bribery.
(8) The undertakings which are subject to this Directive should provide adequate information in relation to matters that stand out as being most likely to bring about the materialisation of principal risks of severe impacts, along with those that have already materialised. The severity of such impacts should be judged by their scale and gravity. The risks of adverse impact may stem from the undertaking's own activities or may be linked to its operations, and, where relevant and proportionate, its products, services and business relationships, including its supply and subcontracting chains. This should not lead to undue additional administrative burdens for small and medium-sized undertakings.
(9) In providing this information, undertakings which are subject to this Directive may rely on national frameworks, Union-based frameworks such as the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), or international frameworks such as the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights implementing the UN ‘Protect, Respect and Remedy’ Framework, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the International Organisation for Standardisation's ISO 26000, the International Labour Organisation's Tripartite Declaration of principles concerning multinational enterprises and social policy, the Global Reporting Initiative, or other recognised international frameworks.
(10) Member States should ensure that adequate and effective means exist to guarantee disclosure of non-financial information by undertakings in compliance with this Directive. To that end, Member States should ensure that effective national procedures are in place to enforce compliance with the obligations laid down by this Directive, and that those procedures are available to all persons and legal entities having a legitimate interest, in accordance with national law, in ensuring that the provisions of this Directive are respected.
(11) Paragraph 47 of the outcome document of the United Nations Rio+20 conference, entitled ‘The Future We Want’, recognises the importance of corporate sustainability reporting and encourages undertakings, where appropriate, to consider integrating sustainability information into their reporting cycle. It also encourages industry, interested governments and relevant stakeholders with the support of the United Nations system, as appropriate, to develop models for best practice, and facilitate action for the integration of financial and non-financial information, taking into account experiences from already existing frameworks.
(12) Investors' access to non-financial information is a step towards reaching the milestone of having in place by 2020 market and policy incentives rewarding business investments in efficiency under the roadmap to a resource-efficient Europe.
(13) The European Council, in its conclusions of 24 and 25 March 2011, called for the overall regulatory burden, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’), to be reduced at both European and national levels, and suggested measures to increase productivity, while the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth aims to improve the business environment for SMEs and to promote their internationalisation. Thus, in accordance with the ‘think small first’ principle, the new disclosure requirements should apply only to certain large undertakings and groups.
(14) The scope of those non-financial disclosure requirements should be defined by reference to the average number of employees, balance sheet total and net turnover. SMEs should be exempted from additional requirements, and the obligation to disclose a non-financial statement should apply only to those large undertakings which are public-interest entities and to those public-interest entities which are parent undertakings of a large group, in each case having an average number of employees in excess of 500, in the case of a group on a consolidated basis. This should not prevent Member States from requiring disclosure of non-financial information from undertakings and groups other than undertakings which are subject to this Directive.
(15) Many of the undertakings which fall within the scope of Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) are members of groups of undertakings. Consolidated management reports should be drawn up so that the information concerning such groups of undertakings may be conveyed to members and third parties. National law governing consolidated management reports should therefore be coordinated in order to achieve the objectives of comparability and consistency of the information which undertakings should publish within the Union.
(16) Statutory auditors and audit firms should only check that the non-financial statement or the separate report has been provided. In addition, it should be possible for Member States to require that the information included in the non-financial statement or in the separate report be verified by an independent assurance services provider.
(17) With a view to facilitating the disclosure of non-financial information by undertakings, the Commission should prepare non-binding guidelines, including general and sectoral non-financial key performance indicators. The Commission should take into account current best practices, international developments and the results of related Union initiatives. The Commission should carry out appropriate consultations, including with relevant stakeholders. When referring to environmental aspects, the Commission should cover at least land use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions and the use of materials.
(18) Diversity of competences and views of the members of administrative, management and supervisory bodies of undertakings facilitates a good understanding of the business organisation and affairs of the undertaking concerned. It enables members of those bodies to constructively challenge the management decisions and to be more open to innovative ideas, addressing the similarity of views of members, also known as the ‘group-think’ phenomenon. It contributes thus to effective oversight of the management and to successful governance of the undertaking. It is therefore important to enhance transparency regarding the diversity policy applied. This would inform the market of corporate governance practices and thus put indirect pressure on undertakings to have more diversified boards.
(19) The obligation to disclose diversity policies in relation to the administrative, management and supervisory bodies with regard to aspects such as, for instance, age, gender or educational and professional backgrounds should apply only to certain large undertakings. Disclosure of the diversity policy should be part of the corporate governance statement, as laid down by Article 20 of Directive 2013/34/EU. If no diversity policy is applied there should not be any obligation to put one in place, but the corporate governance statement should include a clear explanation as to why this is the case.
(20) Initiatives at Union level, including country-by-country reporting for several sectors, as well as the references made by the European Council, in its conclusions of 22 May 2013 and of 19 and 20 December 2013, to country-by-country reporting by large companies and groups, similar provisions in Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and international efforts to improve transparency in financial reporting have been noted. Within the context of the G8 and the G20, the OECD has been asked to draw up a standardised reporting template for multinational undertakings to report to tax authorities where they make their profits and pay taxes around the world. Such developments complement the proposals contained in this Directive, as appropriate measures for their respective purposes.
(21) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its effect, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(22) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, including freedom to conduct a business, respect for private life and the protection of personal data. This Directive has to be implemented in accordance with those rights and principles.
(23) Directive 2013/34/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1599/96 (2), and in particular Article 36 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that during the 1995/96 to 2000/01 marketing years adjustment aid of ECU 0,10 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar is to be granted as an intervention measure to the Community's imported preferential raw cane sugar refining industry; whereas, as provided for in those provisions, additional aid equal to that amount is to be granted during the same period for the refining of raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas departments;

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2423/1999 of 15 November 1999 introducing safeguard measures in respect of sugar falling within CN code 1701 and mixtures of sugar and cocoa falling within CN codes 18061030 and 18061090 originating in the overseas countries and territories

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2423/1999
of 15 November 1999
introducing safeguard measures in respect of sugar falling within CN code 1701 and mixtures of sugar and cocoa falling within CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 originating in the overseas countries and territories
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community(1), as last amended by Decision 97/803/EC(2), hereinafter referred to as the "OCT Decision", and in particular Article 109 thereof,
Following consultation with the Committee set up under Article 1(2) of Annex IV to that Decision,
Whereas:
(1) In recent months difficulties have arisen which may result in a serious deterioration of the Community's sugar sector. These difficulties have been caused by increasing quantities of sugar imported from 1997 onwards under the EC/OCT cumulation of origin procedure and in the form of mixtures of sugar and cocoa falling within CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 originating in the overseas countries and territories. These products are imported into the Community free of import duties in accordance with Article 101(1) of the OCT Decision.
(2) These imports may result in a serious deterioration in the operation of the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector and have highly detrimental effects on Community sugar operators.
(3) The operation of the market organisation may be profoundly destabilised: sugar consumption is constant on the Community market, and accordingly any import of sugar into the Community at prices below the intervention price throws onto the export market a corresponding quantity of Community sugar which it cannot absorb. Refunds paid on such sugar are charged to the Community budget (currently at around EUR 520/tonne). Such exports are limited in volume by the GATT agreements, and the imports thus reduce the scope for exporting sugar within quotas. To cope with this problem, consideration should be given to reducing Community production quotas.
(4) Community sugar operators also risk damage as a result of these higher imports. The features of the common market organisation in sugar are the principle of self-financing by the Community's sugar producers, disposal of surplus sugar produced in the Community (particularly through export refunds), and a minimum price which Community sugar manufacturers must pay for their raw material (beet). Such increased imports of sugar, either as such or in the form of products with a high sugar content, at prices below those at which Community producers can sell comparable products, have a profoundly destabilising impact on the activity of Community undertakings which, owing to the common agricultural policy's constraints in favour of farmers, cannot compete with the imported products.
(5) An increase in the volume of exports attracting refunds may also entail the risk of a rise in the unit costs of exporting sugar within quotas and consequently in the production levy on Community sugar producers.
(6) There is therefore an ongoing risk that a sector of Community activity will deteriorate. In view of this risk it is necessary, in accordance with Article 109 of the OCT Decision, to apply safeguard measures in respect of imports into the Community of sugar falling within CN code 1701 and mixtures of sugar and cocoa with a sugar content over 65 % falling within CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 originating in the overseas countries and territories.
(7) Under Article 100 of the OCT Decision, its object is to promote trade between the overseas countries and territories and the Community, taking account of their respective levels of development. In accordance with Article 109(2) of the OCT Decision, priority must be given to such measures as would least disturb the functioning of the association and the Community; these measures must not exceed the limits of what is strictly necessary to remedy the difficulties that have arisen.
(8) To this end, sugar falling within CN code 1701 should be released for free circulation in the Community free of import duties only if the import price cif, as shown by supporting documents, of unpacked sugar of the standard quality defined by Community rules delivered to European ports in the Community is not less than the intervention price of the products in question. This measure should ensure that imported sugar is not sold at prices below those on the Community market and avoid the destabilising effects of these imports while ensuring an adequate unit profit for the OCT operators concerned and compliance with the order of preferences introduced in favour of Community products and of products originating in the OCT by the EC Treaty.
(9) In the case of mixtures of sugar and cocoa falling within CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90, imports should be subject to Community surveillance. This will allow the Commission to monitor the development of such imports closely, as regards quantities and prices, without generating any additional administrative burden for operators.
(10) The specific checks on the value of the imported goods covered by the measures laid down by this Regulation, and the checks applicable in trade with third countries established under the Community rules on release for free circulation and customs value laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1662/1999(4), should ensure compliance with the provisions introduced in this Regulation.
(11) In view of the trend with respect to quantities already supplied during the 1998/1999 marketing year, these temporary measures should be applied until the end of the period of application of the OCT Decision,
1. Products with EC-OCT cumulation of origin falling within CN code 1701 shall be released for free circulation in the Community free of import duties only if the import price cif of unpacked goods of standard quality as laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/72(5) fixing the standard quality for white sugar, is not less than the intervention price of the products in question.
2. When carrying out the formalities of release for free circulation for the products referred to in paragraph 1, importers shall produce any document showing the sales price and the transport and insurance costs for the imported goods. To this end, the import price shall be the price of the unpacked goods.
3. The Member States shall communicate each week to the Commission, by any form of written telecommunication, the quantities of the products referred to in paragraph 1 for which import licences have been issued, indicating the date of issue and the exporting country.
This information must be sent separately from details of other applications for import licences in the sugar sector.
Products originating in the overseas countries and territories falling within CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 shall be released for free circulation in the Community free of import duties subject to Community surveillance in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 308d of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(6) laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 880/2004
of 29 April 2004
authorising without time limit the use of beta-carotene and canthaxanthin as additives in feedingstuffs belonging to the group of colouring matters including pigments
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002(2) and in particular Article 9d paragraph 1 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that a use of an additive has to be authorised at Community level.
(2) The additives referred to in Annex to this Regulation, beta-carotene, used for canaries, and canthaxanthin, used for pet and ornamental birds, were provisionally authorised for the first time by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/98 of 26 October 1998(3). The provisional authorisation of these additives was extended until 14 December 2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2200/2001 of 17 October 2001(4).
(3) New data, about efficacy, was submitted by the company producing both additives in support of the application to obtain an authorisation without time limit.
(4) The assessment of the application for an authorisation for a period without time limit submitted in respect of the "Carotenoids and xanthophylls" of the group "Colouring matters including pigments" shows that the relevant conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.
(5) The assessment of the application shows that certain procedures are required to protect workers from exposure to the additives beta-carotene and canthaxanthin. However, such protection is assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989(5) on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Food Chain and Animal Health section Animal Nutrition.
The additives belonging to Part 1 "Carotenoids and xanthophylls" of the group "Colouring matters including pigments", referred to in the Annex are authorised for use as additives in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3788/92
of 28 December 1992
amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 on the application of a minimum import price for frozen strawberries originating in Poland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1333/92 of 18 May 1992 on the system of minimum import prices for certain soft fruits originating in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92 of 10 June 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the minimum import price system for certain soft fruits originating in Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and fixing the minimum import prices applicable until 31 May 1993 (2) provides that the Commission is to adopt any necessary measures if the minimum import price is not complied with;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 (3), the Commission introduced a minimum import price applicable until 31 December 1992 to frozen strawberries originating in Poland; whereas information available to the Commission shows clearly that the unit value of frozen strawberries originating in Poland falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10 has, on average, for the second three-month period of the marketing year, remained well below the minimum import price fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92; whereas, on the other hand, the unit value of frozen strawberries originating in Poland falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 *90 has, on average, for the second three-month period, been above the minimum import prices fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92; whereas the requirement of a minimum price should therefore be maintained for a further period of three months for frozen strawberries falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10 and abolished for frozen strawberries falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 90,
Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The first paragraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'A countervailing charge shall be levied on imports into the Community of frozen strawberries falling within CN code ex 0811 10 90 (Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10) and originating in Poland, equal to the difference between the minimum import price as fixed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92 and the actual import price`.
2. In Article 6 '31 December 1992` is replaced by '31 March 1993`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2697/2000(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that new additives may be authorised following the review of an application made in accordance with Article 4 of the Directive.
(2) Article 9e(1) of the Directive provides that provisional authorisation of a new additive may be given if the conditions of Article 3a(b) to (e) of the Directive are satisfied and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a). Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period up to four years in the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to the Directive, including growth promoters.
(3) Article 2(aaa) of Directive 70/524/EEC requires authorisations for growth promoters to be linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation
(4) The assessment of the dossier submitted in respect of the authorisation of potassium diformate belonging to the group of "Growth promoters" described in the Annex shows that it satisfies the abovementioned conditions and may therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a four-year period.
(5) The assessment of the dossier shows that certain procedures may be required to protect workers from exposure to the additive. Such protection should however be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(3).
(6) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety for animals, users, consumers and the environment of the growth promoter under the conditions described in the said Annex.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
The additive belonging to the group "Growth promoters" listed in the Annex to the present Regulation is provisionally authorised for use as an additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
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 July 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and in particular Article 396 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3122/85 (2), fixes the threshold for the economic size of returning holdings applicable as from the 1982 accounting year; whereas this threshold was fixed in European size units (ESU); whereas the ESU was defined in Annex III to Commission Decision 78/463/EEC (3); whereas this definition of the ESU was adapted by Commission Decision 85/377/EEC (4) in order to take into account agro-economic developments; whereas this new definition is applicable as from 1985; whereas the thresholds of economic size to be applied with effect from the 1986 accounting year should therefore be adapted in the light of the new definition of the ESU;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Treaty of Accession, the institutions of the Community may adopt before accession the measures referred to in Article 396 of the Act, such measures entering into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of that Treaty;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
The following paragraph is hereby added to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82:
'For the "1986" accounting year - a period of 12 consecutive months beginning between 1 January and 1 July 1986 - and for subsequent accounting years, the threshold of economic size as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC shall be as follows, in ESU as defined in Annex III to Commission Decision 85/377/EEC (1):

Council Regulation (EC) No 1361/2002
of 22 July 2002
establishing concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Lithuania
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Lithuania, of the other part(1), hereinafter referred to as the "Europe Agreement", provides for certain concessions for certain agricultural products originating in Lithuania.
(2) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the existing preferential agreements(2).
(3) Improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were also provided for, in the form of an autonomous and transitional measure pending a second adjustment of the relevant provisions of the Europe Agreement, as a result of a first round of negotiations to liberalise the agricultural trade. The improvements entered into force as from 1 January 2001 in the form of Council Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 of 14 December 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Lithuania(3). The second adjustment of the relevant provisions in the Europe Agreement, which will take the form of another Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement, has not yet entered into force.
(4) A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade liberalisation for agricultural products has been negotiated.
(5) A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an essential part of the results of the negotiations for the conclusion of a new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of the agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement.
(6) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(4).
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(5) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Tariff quotas under this Regulation should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 has effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,
1. The conditions for import into the Community applicable to certain agricultural products originating in Lithuania as set out in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this Regulation shall replace those set out in Annex Va to the Europe Agreement.
2. On the entry into force of the additional protocol adjusting the Europe Agreement to take into account the outcome of the negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, the concessions provided for in that Protocol shall replace those referred to in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this Regulation.
3. The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 3(2).
1. Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
2. Quantities of goods subject to tariff quotas and released for free circulation as from 1 July 2002 under the concessions provided for in Annex A(b) to Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 shall be fully counted against the quantities provided for in Annex C(b) to this Regulation, except for quantities for which import licences have been issued before 1 July 2002.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Management Committee for Cereals instituted by Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(6) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 20 December 2007, the Council adopted Decision 2007/868/EC (2).
(2) On 25 February 2008, the Council provided to Mr Jose Maria SISON an updated statement of reasons for maintaining him on the list of persons, groups and entities subject to the restrictive measures provided for under Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 and invited Mr SISON to present his observations thereon within one month. Mr SISON submitted observations to the Council by letter dated 24 March 2008, which the Council has considered.
(3) The Council has concluded that Mr SISON has been involved in terrorist acts within the meaning of Article 1(2) and (3) of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP of 27 December 2001 on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism (3) and that decisions have been taken in respect of Mr SISON by a competent national authority within the meaning of Article 1(4) of that Common Position. The Council has also concluded that the entries for Mr SISON and for the Communist Party of the Philippines on the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies should be amended so as to reflect the updated statement of reasons.
(4) The Council therefore considers that Mr SISON should continue to be subject to the specific restrictive measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001,
In the Annex to Decision 2007/868/EC, the entry for Mr SISON, Jose Maria (a.k.a. Armando Liwanag, a.k.a. Joma), shall be replaced by the following:
‘SISON, Jose Maria (a.k.a Armando Liwanag, a.k.a. Joma), born 8.2.1939 in Cabugao (Philippines) — person playing a leading role in the “Communist Party of the Philippines”, including the “NPA” ’.
In the Annex to Decision 2007/868/EC the entry for the Communist Party of the Philippines shall be replaced by the following:
‘ “Communist Party of the Philippines”, including the “New People’s Army” — “NPA”, Philippines, linked to SISON, Jose Maria (a.k.a Armando Liwanag, a.k.a. Joma, who plays a leading role in the “Communist Party of the Philippines”, including the “NPA”)’.
This Decision shall take effect on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) According to Article 1(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1661/1999 of 27 July 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1627/2000(4), the products listed in Annex I to that Regulation may only be declared for free circulation in the Member State of destination in a restricted number of customs offices. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1661/1999 contains the list of those customs offices.
(2) In view of the request of the competent authorities of Germany, it is appropriate to add a number of customs offices in the territory of Germany to the list.
(3) In June 2000, an inspection team of the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) carried out a mission in Bulgaria, in order to assess the facilities and measures in place to control radioactive contamination in foodstuffs and in particular in non-cultivated mushrooms.
(4) The report of that mission recommends an amendment to the export certificate set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1661/1999, in order to ensure that an independent and authorised person takes representative samples from mushroom consignments intended for export into the Community.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1661/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 737/90,
Regulation (EC) No 1661/1999 is amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1552/93 (2), and in particular Article 5 (1) (d) thereof,
Whereas owing to fluctuations in market prices and offers for oil seeds, prices and offers in relation to oil seeds need to be reported by certain Member States to the Commission on a regular basis;
Whereas the Member States concerned should adjust those prices and offers so that they correspond to oil seeds of a specified quality;
Whereas in the absence of prices and offers for oil seeds, Member States should also report to the Commission on a regular basis prices and offers for oils and meals derived from oil seeds processed within the Community;
Whereas in order to determine a regional reference amount as required by Article 5 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 it is necessary for the Commission to assess the observed reference price of oil seeds on a regular basis, by reference to prices and offers reported to it in respect of Community representative markets;
Whereas Community representative markets should be defined as those on which oil seeds for delivery to centres of demand are traded, centres of demand being places where purchasers are actively competing for the purchase of oil seeds;
Whereas if less than two prices or offers are available for the assessment of the observed reference price, the Commission should make its assessment by reference to prices and offers in relation to oils and meals obtained from the processing of oil seeds in the Community, reduced by the processing costs;
Whereas to avoid distortions in the observed reference price the Commission should exclude from its assessment any prices or offers which are not representative;
Whereas it is necessary that Member States should know which prices and offers the Commission has taken into account in assessing the observed reference price;
Whereas it is necessary to repeal Commission Regulation No 225/67/EEC (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2869/87 (4);
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the purposes of this Regulation:

- immediately, any prices paid and offers made by buyers and sellers not previously reported, quoted on their markets for colza and rape seed, for sunflower seed and for soya beans in bulk and for oils and meals derived from the processing of those oil seeds in the Community during the period from 1 July 1993 to the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
They shall specify to the extent possible, in respect of each category of oil seeds, oils and meals, the market in question, details as to the quality of the seeds, the terms, the place of delivery and any other relevant information.
2. Where prices and offers being quoted in a market do not relate, or have not been adjusted to relate, to oil seeds of a quality as specified in Annex II, those prices and offers shall be adjusted by the relevant Member State so as to correspond to oil seeds of the quality specified.
1. In order to determine a final regional reference amount as required by Article 5 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the Commission shall, on a monthly basis, assess the observed reference price of oil seeds by reference to the following in order of preference:
(i) those prices and offers reported to it under Article 2 (1) in respect of Community representative markets for delivery to a centre of demand, which relate to colza and rape seed, to sunflower seed and to soya beans in bulk;
(ii) any other prices and offers of which the Commission is aware, being quoted on Community representative markets for delivery to a centre of demand, for colza and rape seed, for sunflower seed and for soya beans in bulk.
2. The Commission may exclude from its assessment:
- any price or offer for colza, rape seed or sunflower seed which does not relate to a delivery to be effected within 30 days following the date of assessment of the observed reference price,
- any price or offer for soya beans which does not relate to a delivery to be effected within two months following the date of assessment of the observed reference price,
- any price or offer in respect of a purchase of less than 500 tonnes of oil seeds,
- any price or offer relating to oil seeds of a quality not usually sold on the open market,
- any price or offer which is not representative of the true level of prices and offers in the Community representative market in question for oil seeds in bulk, taking into account the general trend in prices and offers in that market and any other relevant information available.
If less than two prices or offers are available in a month for the assessment of the observed reference price under Article 3, the Commission may make its assessment by reference to the following in order of preference:
(i) those price and offers reported to it under Article 2 (1) in respect of Community representative markets;
(ii) any other prices and offers of which the Commission is aware, being quoted on Community representative markets,
which relate to oils and meals obtained from the processing of oil seeds in the Community, taking into account the quantities of oils and meals derived from such processing, reduced by the amount corresponding to the cost of processing specified in Annex III.
The Commission shall:
(a) exclude from its assessment any price or offer which is not representative of the true level of prices and offers in the representative market in question, taking into account the general trend in prices and offers in that market and any other relevant information available;
(b) exclude from its assessment any price or offer in respect of oil which does not relate to the crude product, of which the content of free fatty acids does not exceed 2 % in the case of colza and rape seed and sunflower seed, or 1,25 % in the case of soya beans.
The Commission shall inform Member States monthly of the prices and offers which it takes into account in assessing the observed reference price of oil seeds.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 347/2008
of 17 April 2008
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 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 April 2008.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3732/91 of 12 December 1991 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for prepared or preserved sardines, originating in Morocco, for the period 1 January 1992 to 29 February 1992
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3732/91 of 12 December 1991 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for prepared or preserved sardines, originating in Morocco, for the period 1 January 1992 to 29 February 1992
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 4 of Protocol 1 to the Agreement on relations in the sea fisheries sector between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco (1) states that prepared or preserved sardines falling within CN codes ex 1604 13 10 or ex 1604 20 50 and originating in Morocco shall be imported duty-free into the Community within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 17 500 tonnes (net weight); whereas, in order to ensure a regular flow to the Community market under this quota, the quantities destined for that market may not exceed 60 % of the total volume of the quota in the first half of the year and may not exceed 35 % in the first quarter of the year; whereas, at the end of each of these periods, the quantities of the products in question which have been allocated to, but not used by, the Member States should be returned immediately to the Community reserve;
Whereas the said Agreement on fisheries is due to expire at the end of February 1992 and whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of the Agreement, the Contracting Parties have begun negotiations with a view to the possible conclusion of a new agreement; whereas in the meantime the tariff quota in question should be opened, for the period 1 January 1992 to 29 February 1992, for a quantity which, calculated pro rata temporis, amounts to 4 083 tonnes;
Whereas, within the limits of the tariff quota, Spain and Portugal shall apply the customs duties calculated according to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88 of 14 October 1988 laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade with Morocco (2);
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted;
Whereas the prepared and preserved sardines sector is encountering, in certain regions of the Community, economic constraints of a particular nature, bearing in mind notably the importance which sardine production may have in the fisheries production structure as a whole, thus justifying the fact that the traditional commercial outlets for producers on external markets and, as a matter of priority, on the Community market, should not be adversely affected; whereas these specific economic circumstances make it necessary to maintain the allocation between the Member States of the quota concerned for the period of application of this Regulation;
Whereas, bearing in mind the way in which trade has developed traditionally, the allocation maintained among Member States should, in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products in question, be carried out on a pro rata basis according to the needs of the Member States, calculated on the basis of statistics of imports of the said products from Morocco during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota periods in question;
Whereas, in the last three years, the products in question were imported regularly only by certain Member States and not at all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, in these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the tariff quota when imports actually take place; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform collection of the duties applicable;
Whereas, to allow for the trend of imports of the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota volume should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to afford importers in each Member State some degree of certainty, an appropriate level for the first part of the Community quota would, in the present circumstances, be 20 % of the quota volume, the second part, 80 %, constituting the reserve to which shall also be returned any amounts remaining from the shares allocated when the quota volume was divided up;
Whereas, for the period concerned, the initial shares may be used up at different rates in each of the periods concerned; whereas, to provide for this eventuality and to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies, any Member State which has entirely used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the Community reserve; whereas each Member State should effect its drawing whenever its additional share is almost used up, and as many times as the reserve allows; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, during the period concerned, the Community reserve is almost completely used up, it is essential that Member States return to the reserve the whole of the unused part of their initial shares and any drawings in order to prevent part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 January 1992 to 29 February 1992 the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of the following products, originating in Morocco, shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown below:
Order No CN-code (1) Description Volume of tariff quotas (in tonnes) Rate of duty (%) 09.1101 ex 1604 13 10
ex 1604 20 50 Prepared or preserved sardines of the type Sardina pilchardus 4 083
net weight 0
(1) Taric codes: 1604 13 10*10
1604 20 50*11
Within the limit of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.
2. The first part of the quota, 816 tonnes, shall be allocated among certain Member States; the quota shares, which, subject to Article 4, shall be valid until 29 February 1992, shall be as follows:
in tonnes Benelux 74 Denmark - Germany 176 Greece 9 Spain - France 342 Ireland - Italy 48 Portugal - United Kingdom 167
3. The second part of the quota, 3 267 tonnes, shall constitute the Community reserve.
4. If the products concerned are presented in the other Member States along with a declaration of entry into free circulation accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw a corresponding amount pursuant to Article 3.
When the initial share of a Member State, as fixed in Article 2 (2), has been exhausted, the following provisions shall apply.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration of entry into circulation for a product covered by this Regulation and if this is accepted by the customs authorities the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3).
Requests for drawings, with an indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawing shall be granted by the Commission, by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the reserve, allocation shall be made on a basis proportionate to the requests. Member States shall be so informed by the Commission.
Once at least 80 % of the reserve, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.
It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the provisions laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 3, if these provisions are not already in effect.
Within a time limit fixed by the Commission as from the date referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve all their initial shares which have not been used on that date.
The Commission shall keep account of the shares opened to Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up as soon as it has been notified.
It shall inform the Member States of the amount of the reserve following any return of quota shares pursuant to Article 4.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/53/EEC of 24 June 1993 introducing minimum Community measures for the control of certain fish diseases(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/288/EC(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6(a), first indent, of Directive 93/53/EEC lays down that, in order to control an outbreak of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), all fish in an infected farm shall be withdrawn in accordance with a scheme established by the official service and approved by the Commission.
(2) Experience gained has shown that under certain conditions it is possible to extend the withdrawal over a period of time without impairing the efforts to eradicate the disease.
(3) A withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in England, Scotland and Wales has been approved by Commission Decision 2001/494/EC(3).
(4) The United Kingdom has submitted a withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in Northern Ireland.
(5) Ireland has submitted a withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in Ireland.
(6) The Commission and the Member States have examined the schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland in the light of the current state of scientific and technical evidence.
(7) The disease control measures described in the withdrawal scheme for Northern Ireland and Ireland are fully consistent with the scheme already approved for England, Scotland and Wales.
(8) The withdrawal of fish shall be carried out with the aim to eradicate the disease from infected farms and to prevent further spread of the disease to other farms as well as to the wild population susceptible to this infection.
(9) The withdrawal of fish must be based on a case by case analysis of the risks for further spread of the disease, including the seriousness of the outbreak and other circumstances influencing the risks, and must take into account current practical experience and scientific evidence.
(10) The examination carried out shows that the schemes submitted fulfil the requirements for such a scheme and therefore they should be approved.
(11) For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to approve the schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland by means of a single decision. Therefore Decision 2001/494/EC should be repealed.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland for the withdrawal of all fish in farms situated in their territory and infected with infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) are approved.
Decision 2001/494/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Council Decision 2008/206/JHA of 3 March 2008 on defining 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP) as a new psychoactive substance which is to be made subject to control measures and criminal provisions

COUNCIL DECISION 2008/206/JHA
of 3 March 2008
on defining 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP) as a new psychoactive substance which is to be made subject to control measures and criminal provisions
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union,
Having regard to the Council Decision 2005/387/JHA of 10 May 2005 on the information exchange, risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Having regard to the initiative of the Commission,
After consultation of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) A Risk Assessment Report on 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP) was drawn up on the basis of Decision 2005/387/JHA by a special session of the extended Scientific Committee of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction and subsequently submitted to the Council and the Commission on 31 May 2007.
(2) BZP is a synthetic substance. It was first reported in the European Union in 1999. Like amphetamine and methamphetamine, BZP is a central nervous system stimulant, but with a much lower potency (around 10 % of that of d-amphetamine). The metabolism of BZP may be affected by genetic polymorphisms in enzyme systems leading to a wide inter-individual susceptibility to the effects of BZP. There is also a potential for interactions with other drugs, but overall there is a lack of human pharmacokinetic data.
(3) In some Member States BZP is legally available from retail chemical suppliers; for recreational purposes it is sold as tablets and capsules via Internet sites or in some Member States in ‘smart/herbal shops’. On the illicit drugs market, BZP may also be sold/bought as the popular drug ecstasy.
(4) Thirteen Member States and one third State (Norway) have reported seizures of BZP in powder, capsules or tablets, ranging from one capsule/tablet up to 64 900 tablets. There is little information that may suggest large-scale synthesis, processing or distribution of BZP, and the involvement of organised crime.
(5) BZP has no established and acknowledged medical value; there are no known licensed medicinal products containing BZP in the European Union.
(6) BZP is currently not under assessment and has not been under assessment by the UN system. In five Member States, BZP is subjected to control measures and criminal penalties as provided under their legislation by virtue of their obligations under the 1961 or 1971 UN Conventions. Two Member States apply control measures to BZP under their medicines legislation.
(7) BZP has been found in post mortem samples. However, the extent to which BZP was implicated in the deaths is not known as in all cases other substances or other circumstances were involved.
(8) The Risk Assessment Report on BZP reveals a lack of conclusive scientific evidence on the overall risks of BZP. However, due to its stimulant properties, risk to health, the lack of medical benefits and following the precautionary principle, there is a need to control BZP, but the control measures should be appropriate to the relatively low risks of the substance.
(9) Placing 1-benzylpiperazine under control may help avoid problems in international law enforcement and judicial cooperation,
Member States shall take the necessary measures, in accordance with their national law, to submit 1-benzylpiperazine (also known as 1-benzyl-1,4-diazacyclohexane, N-benzylpiperazine or — less precisely — as benzylpiperazine or BZP) to control measures proportionate to the risks of the substance, and criminal penalties, as provided for under their legislation complying with their obligations under the 1971 United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall take effect on the day following its publication.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the multilateral trade negotiations opened under the GATT, pursuant to the Declaration by Ministers adopted at Punta del Este on 20 September 1986, have led to the Final Act embodying the results of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas the representatives of the Community and of the Member States signed the Final Act embodying the results of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations and, subject to conclusion, the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization in Marrakesh on 15 April 1994;

Whereas some of these concessions and commitments were negotiated bilaterally with Uruguay on bovine meat in parallel to the Uruguay Round;
Whereas the competence of the Community to conclude international agreements does not derive only from explicit conferral by the Treaty but may also derive from other provisions of the Treaty and from acts adopted pursuant to those provisions by Community institutions;

Whereas, in particular, the use of Articles 100 and 235 of the Treaty as legal bases for this Decision is justified to the extent that the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, including the Annexes thereto, affects Council Directive 90/434/EEC of 23 July 1990 on the common system of taxation applicable to mergers, divisions, transfers of assets and exchanges of shares concerning companies of different Member States (3), Council Directive 90/435/EEC of 23 July 1990 on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different Member States (4), which are based on Article 100 of the Treaty, and Council Regulation (EC) No 40/94 of 20 December 1993 on the Community trade mark (5), which is based on Article 235 of the Treaty;
Whereas no act in Community law has yet been adopted on the basis of Article 73c of the Treaty;
Whereas, by its nature, the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, including the Annexes thereto, is not susceptible to being directly invoked in Community or Member State courts,
1. The following multilateral agreements and acts are hereby approved on behalf of the European Community with regard to that portion of them which falls within the competence of the European Community:
— the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, and also the Agreements in Annexes 1, 2 and 3 to that Agreement;

Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides that where a foreseeable change in the agricultural conversion rate would result in an appreciable fall for a currency, that change shall be suspended for the currency in question for a certain period during which the monetary trend must be confirmed before the change can take place;
Whereas the current monetary trend has resulted in a situation in which the aforementioned conditions have been fulfilled, in particular for the Belgian and Luxembourg franc; whereas a similar problem may arise shortly for other Community currencies; whereas, however, the trend does not seem to be certain; whereas, accordingly, it would appear appropriate, exceptionally and in view of the potential budgetary impact, in the case of the currencies concerned, to increase the number of reference periods constituting the period of suspension,
Where the application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 would lead to a fall in the agricultural conversion rate for a currency before 26 May 1995, the change in the agricultural conversion rate in question shall be suspended for the following reference period.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the market in Pecorino Romano cheese is at present disturbed by the existence of stocks which are difficult to sell and which are causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of such measure should essentially be the same as those laid down for a similar measure during the previous milk year by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1441/83 (4);
Whereas experience of the different private storage arrangements for agricultural products indicates that it should be specified to what extent Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (5) is applicable for determination of the periods, dates and time limits mentioned in these arrangements and that the dates of the beginning and end of storage under contract should be precisely defined;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of Pecorino Romano cheese manufactured in the Community and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than two tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 31 October 1983;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is +16 °C,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorize an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration,
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ad initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer.
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention ageny each week of the quantity of cheese put into and withdrawn from storage during the previous week.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 1 May to 15 November 1984.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days' storage under contract terminating before 1 March 1985. By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 klograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to two tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The amount of aid shall be 2,28 ECU per tonne per day.
2. The amount of aid in ECU in relation to a storage contract shall be that applying on the first day of storage under contract. It shall be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on the last day of storage under contract.
3. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits mentioned in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71. However, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply for determination of the duration of storage under contract.
The intervention agency shall take the necessary measures to ensure that checks are kept on the quantities covered by storage contracts. It shall in particular make provision for the marking of the cheeses covered by the contract.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week:
(a) the quantity of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded during the previous week;

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP of 1 December 2011 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 January 2012 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria (2) with a view to giving effect to most of the measures provided for in Decision 2011/782/CFSP.
(2) Council Decision 2012/420/CFSP of 23 July 2012 amending Decision 2011/782/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria (3) provides for an additional measure, namely that Member States should inspect all vessels and aircraft bound for Syria if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the cargo contains items whose supply, sale, transfer or export is prohibited or subject to authorisation.
(3) In relation to that measure, Decision 2012/420/CFSP also provides that aircraft and vessels transporting cargo to Syria be subject to the requirement of additional pre-arrival or pre-departure information for all goods brought into or out of a Member State.
(4) Furthermore, Decision 2012/420/CFSP provides for a derogation from the freezing of funds and economic resources in relation to a transfer of funds due in connection with the provision of financial support to Syrian nationals pursuing an education, professional training or engaged in academic research in the Union.
(5) Provisions providing for derogations from the freezing of funds and economic resources of the Central Bank of Syria should be amended.
(6) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(7) For the same reason, an amendment is necessary in order to clarify the scope of Regulation (EU) No 36/2012.
(8) Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 is hereby amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1 the following point is inserted:
‘(r) “customs territory of the Union” means the territory as defined in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (4).
(2) the following Article is inserted:
(3) Article 12, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) to sell, supply, transfer or export equipment or technology as listed in Annex VII to be used in the construction or installation in Syria of new power plants for electricity production;
(b) to provide, directly or indirectly, technical assistance, financing or financial assistance, including financial derivatives, as well as insurance or reinsurance in relation to any project referred to in point (a).’;
(4) the following Article is inserted:
(5) Article 21a is replaced by the following:
(a) a transfer by or through the Central Bank of Syria of funds or economic resources received and frozen after the date of its designation where the transfer is related to a payment due in connection with a specific trade contract; or
(b) a transfer of funds or economic resources to or through the Central Bank of Syria where the transfer is related to a payment due in connection with a specific trade contract;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 49 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2)
Whereas in its resolution of 21 January 1974 concerning a social action programme (3), the Council included in its priority actions those designed to improve the conditions of freedom of movement for workers relating in particular to reception and to the education of their children;
Whereas in order to permit the integration of such children into the educational environment and the school system of the host State, they should be able to receive suitable tuition including teaching of the language of the host State;
Whereas host Member States should also take, in conjunction with the Member States of origin, appropriate measures to promote the teaching of the mother tongue and of the culture of the country of origin of the abovementioned children, with a view principally to facilitating their possible reintegration into the Member State of origin,
This Directive shall apply to children for whom school attendance is compulsory under the laws of the host State, who are dependants of any worker who is a national of another Member State, where such children are resident in the territory of the Member State in which that national carries on or has carried on an activity as an employed person.
Member States shall, in accordance with their national circumstances and legal systems, take appropriate measures to ensure that free tuition to facilitate initial reception is offered in their territory to the children referred to in Article 1, including, in particular, the teaching — adapted to the specific needs of such children — of the official language or one of the official languages of the host State.
Member States shall take the measures necessary for the training and further training of the teachers who are to provide this tuition.
Member States shall, in accordance with their national circumstances and legal systems, and in cooperation with States of origin, take appropriate measures to promote, in coordination with normal education, teaching of the mother tongue and culture of the country of origin for the children referred to in Article 1.
The Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Directive within four years of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
The Member States shall also inform the Commission of all laws, regulations and administrative or other provisions which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
The Member States shall forward to the Commission within five years of the notification of this Directive, and subsequently at regular intervals at the request of the Commission, all relevant information to enable the Commission to report to the Council on the application of this Directive.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 establishes specific eligibility criteria for the granting of tariff preferences under the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance (GSP+) to a requesting country. For that purpose, the country should be considered vulnerable. It should have ratified all the conventions listed in Annex VIII to that Regulation and the most recent available conclusions of the relevant monitoring bodies do not identify a serious failure to effectively implement any of those conventions. In relation to any of the conventions, the country should not have formulated a reservation which is prohibited by that convention or which, for the exclusive purposes of Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, is considered to be incompatible with the object and purpose of that convention. It should accept without reservation the reporting requirements imposed by each convention and give the binding undertakings referred to in points (d), (e) and (f) of Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012.
(2) A GSP beneficiary country wishing to benefit from GSP+ has to submit a request accompanied by comprehensive information concerning ratification of the relevant conventions, its reservations and the objections to those reservations made by other parties to the convention, and its binding undertakings.
(3) The Commission has been empowered to adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 290 TFEU to establish and amend Annex III in order to grant GSP+ to a requesting country by adding it to the list of GSP+ beneficiary countries.
(4) On 28 February 2014, the Commission received a GSP+ request from the Republic of the Philippines (the Philippines).
(5) The Commission has examined the request made in accordance with the provisions of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, and has established that the Philippines meets the eligibility criteria. The Philippines should therefore be granted GSP+ from the date of entry into force of this Regulation and Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The Commission will keep under review the status of ratification of the relevant conventions and their effective implementation by the Philippines, as well as the Philippines' cooperation with the relevant monitoring bodies, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012,
Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 978/2012

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 4i(5) thereof,
Whereas Article 49(4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2207/98 (4), sets the level of the calf processing premium; whereas in accordance with the third indent of Article 4i(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the premium is to be set at a single level or, where necessary, at differential levels such as to enable the withdrawal from the market of a sufficient number of calves in line with market requirements; whereas in the United Kingdom, given the special position of the market there compared with the rest of the Community, the number of young calves coming onto the market is significantly higher than domestic demand; whereas even before the BSE crisis the United Kingdom market situation meant that calves were commanding lower prices than in the rest of the Community; whereas the processing premium in the United Kingdom should therefore be set at a level lower than for the rest of the Community;
Whereas this Regulation should be introduced immediately to increase the effectiveness of the measure;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In Article 49(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92, the following subparagraph is added:
'However, the level in the United Kingdom shall be ECU 80.`

Selection shall be based on the agency's stock records, but the storekeeping should not be informed.
2. Physical inspection:
- verification of the presence of cereals or rice in the selected bins or storerooms,
- identification of the cereals or rice,
- monitoring of storage conditions and comparison of the storage point and of the identity of the cereals or rice with the store's records,
- evaluation of the quantities stored by a method previously approved by the intervention agency, a description of which must be lodged at its head office.

Whereas the amendment is limited to investments in the modernization, rationalization and concentration of capacities for slaughtering, meat cutting and the utilization of by-products of the slaughter of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and horses, and whereas all such investments may help to improve the profitability of the meat processing sector; whereas they therefore constitute a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

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 2034/96 (2) and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, 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;
Whereas 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;
Whereas, 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);
Whereas, 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; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, 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;
Whereas, eprinomectin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas zinc acetate, zinc chloride, zinc gluconate, zinc oleate, zinc stearate, chlorhexidine, glycerol formal, hesperidin, hesperidin methyl chalcone, menbutone and quatresin should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, flumequine, doxycycline and albendazole sulfoxide should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas it appears that maximum residue limits cannot be established for chlorpromazine because residues, at whatever limit, in foodstuffs of animal origin constitute a hazard to the health of the consumer, whereas chlorpromazine should therefore be inserted into Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days 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 Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II, III and IV of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the sixtieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3) Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(2) stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the poultrymeat listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2777/75 must bear the health mark as laid down in Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat(3).
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
The codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling within the scope of Chapter XII of the Annex to Directive 71/118/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid down in that Directive.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 656/2013
of 10 July 2013
laying down transitional measures regarding the model passport issued in Croatia for dogs, cats and ferrets
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1) applies, inter alia, to movements into Member States from third countries of pet animals of the species listed in Annex I thereto. Dogs and cats are listed in Part A and ferrets are listed in Part B of that Annex.
(2) Section 2 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lists countries and territories, including Croatia, which apply to non-commercial movements of those pet animals rules at least equivalent to the rules provided for in that Regulation.
(3) As a result, dogs, cats and ferrets moved from those countries and territories into Member States are allowed to be accompanied by a passport complying with the model set out in Annex I to Commission Decision 2003/803/EC of 26 November 2003 establishing a model passport for the intra-Community movements of dogs, cats and ferrets (2) and the additional requirements set out in Annex II to that Decision, with certain necessary adaptations with regard to the cover page of the model passport.
(4) From the date of accession of Croatia, dogs, cats and ferrets are not to be moved from Croatia into another Member State unless they are accompanied by a passport complying with the model set out in Annex I to Decision 2003/803/EC and the additional requirements set out in Annex II to that Decision.
(5) However, blank passports printed by the competent authorities of Croatia as well as those distributed to, but not yet issued by, authorised veterinarians in Croatia before the date of accession may still be in stock after that date.
(6) At the same time, passports issued prior to the date of accession should, subject to certain conditions, continue to be accepted for a transitional period of three years in order to limit the administrative and financial burden on owners of pet animals.
(7) Therefore, in order to facilitate the transition from the existing regime to that in force from the date of accession of Croatia, it is appropriate to lay down transitional measures for the movement of pet animals from Croatia into other Member States.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
Member States shall authorise the movement from Croatia into their territory of pet animals of the species listed in Parts A and B of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 which are accompanied by a passport issued by an authorised veterinarian in Croatia not later than 30 June 2014 and complying with the following requirements:
(a) it is drawn up in accordance with the model set out in Annex I to Decision 2003/803/EC and the additional requirements set out in points A, B(2)(a), B(2)(c) and C of Annex II to that Decision;
(b) it bears, by way of derogation from points B(1) and B(2)(b) of Annex II to Decision 2003/803/EC, the Croatian emblem printed in the upper quarter of the cover page, above the words ‘Republika Hrvatska’, on a blue background (PANTONE REFLEX BLUE).
This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.
It shall apply until 30 June 2016.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 10 July 2002

(notified under document number C(2002) 2555)

(2002/574/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/7/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of eggs intended for human consumption are set out in the list contained in paragraph A of Part VIII of the Annex to Commission Decision 94/278/EC of 18 March 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of certain products subject to Council Directive 92/118/EEC(3), as last amended by Decision 2002/337/EC(4). That list consists of a cross-reference to the Annex to Commission Decision 94/85/EC of 16 February 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat(5), as last amended by Decision 2001/733/EC(6).
(2) The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of egg products intended for human consumption are set out in the list contained in paragraph B of Part VIII, of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC. That list consists of a cross-reference to the Annex to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of bovine animals, swine, equidae, sheep and goats, fresh meat and meat products(7), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/731/EC(8).
(3) The cross-reference, where egg products are concerned, to Decision 79/542/EEC, referring exclusively to mammals, appears confusing. A cross-reference to the Annex to Decision 94/85/EC drawing up a list as regards fresh poultrymeat would also be more consistent from a veterinary point of view. As egg products undergo a heat-treatment while fresh poultrymeat remains raw, the criteria of approval for imports from third countries are less demanding and a complementary list can therefore be drawn up to maintain the existing imports.
(4) The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of snails intended for human consumption are set out in the list contained in Part XI of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC.
(5) The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of frogs' legs intended for human consumption are set out in the list contained in part XII of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC.
(6) The specific public health conditions applicable to snails and frogs' legs are laid down respectively in Annex II, Chapter 3, Part I and II to Directive 92/118/EEC. Those conditions consist in several cross-references to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(9). The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fishery products intended for human consumption are set out in the list contained in the Annex to Commission Decision 97/296/EC of 22 April 1997 drawing up the list of third countries from which the import of fishery products is authorised for human consumption(10), as last amended by Decision 2002/28/EC(11).
(7) A cross-reference to the Annex to Decision 97/296/EC would simplify the updating of the lists of third countries from which the Member States respectively authorise imports of snails and frogs' legs and would also be more consistent from a public health point of view.
(8) A complementary list of third countries should be drawn up respectively for snails and frogs' legs in order to maintain the existing imports from third countries, which are already authorised according to the relevant criteria of Directive 91/493/EEC, but are not on the list of Decision 97/296/EC.
(9) The third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of honey are set out in the list contained in Part XIV of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC.
(10) Commission Decision 2000/159/EC of 8 February 2000 on the provisional approval of residue plans of third countries according to Council Directive 96/23/EC(12), as last amended by Decision 2002/336/EC(13), specifies in its Annex the third countries which have submitted a plan, setting out the guarantees which it offers as regards the monitoring of the groups of residues and substances referred to in Annex I to 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(14), for the animals or primary animal products mentioned.
(11) It is appropriate to authorise imports of honey from those third countries, which comply with Directive 96/23/EC. Therefore, the content of Part XIV of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC should be replaced by a cross-reference to Decision 2000/159/EC.
(12) As royal jelly intended for human consumption is obtained in the same conditions as honey, the same import requirements should apply to that product. The title of Part XIV of the Annex to Decision 94/278/EC should be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 94/278/EC is amended as follows:
(a) Part VIII of the Annex is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Decision;
(b) Part XI of the Annex is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Decision;
(c) Part XII of the Annex is replaced by the text in Annex III to this Decision;
(d) Part XIV of the Annex is replaced by the text in Annex IV to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

85/360/EEC: Council Decision of 16 July 1985 on the restructuring of the system of agricultural surveys in Greece
|
COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 July 1985
on the restructuring of the system of agricultural surveys in Greece
(85/360/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas it is necessary, for effective and balanced implementation of the common agricultural policy in Greece, to have statistical and farm accounting information of satisfactory scope and reliability on agricultural holdings in that country and on the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products;
Whereas the Hellenic Republic is currently unable to provide the amount and quality of statistical data required for the formulation and follow-up of the common agricultural policy, thus making a restructuring of the information collecting and processing system highly desirable in order to create a more solid basis for the statistical information to be supplied; whereas the system could at the same time be brought into line with those in the other Member States, thus improving comparability within the Community;
Whereas, in pursuance of Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2143/81 (5), the Hellenic Republic is required to participate in this data network; whereas this participation is currently facing serious infrastructure problems; whereas it is therefore desirable that the best advantage should be drawn from improvements in infrastructure whilst at the same time complying with the current rules governing the said data network;
Whereas, in view of the geographical structure of the country and the small divisions of the agricultural production apparatus, the implementation of a modern system for compiling and processing data calls for very substantial resources;
Whereas, because of economic and budgetary contraints, the Hellenic Republic does not have sufficient means to make the considerable effort involved in establishing a suitable infrastructure and a statistical system comparable to those which already exist in the other Member States;
Whereas the implementation of an effective system for recording statistics in the agricultural sector in Greece will be in the interest of the Community and will contribute to the attainment of the objectives defined in Article 39 (1) (a) of the Treaty;
Whereas a Community contribution to the financing of the measures to be taken must be envisaged without, however, making expenditure relating to administrative costs or personnel within the meaning of Article 1 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (7), chargeable to the Community budget;
Whereas the five-year programme (hereinafter called 'the programme') submitted by the Hellenic Republic to meet Community requirements in the area of agricultural statistics involves overall expenditure of 61 million ECU and whereas the Community contribution should not exceed one third of that sum;
Whereas, while the Hellenic Republic should retain responsibility for such planning in the light of existing administrative structures, certain conditions should be laid down to guarantee optimum utilization of the Community's financial contribution;
Whereas the Community must be able to ensure that the measures taken by the Hellenic Republic will help to attain the objectives of the joint action and will fulfil the conditions under which the Community financing is granted, and whereas the Commission will take the measures required to review the programme;
Whereas a procedure should be laid down whereby the Member States and the Commission will cooperate closely in the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,
In order to organize in Greece a system for compiling and processing statistics and farm accounting data in the agricultural sector which will fully satisfy Community requirements in this field, the Hellenic Republic shall ensure:
(a) the strengthening of the central technical and administrative infrastructure responsible for organizing, programming and implementing the compiling and processing of agricultural statistical data;
(b) the strengthening or creation of a regional technical and administrative infrastructure which ensures that the required surveys are carried out and that the data are forwarded to the National Statistical Service of Greece and to the Ministry of Agriculture;
(c) an improved basis for sampling by creating a register of agricultural holdings;
(d) the gradual introduction of a coherent programme of statistical surveys, conducted on the basis of samples at agricultural holding level, by interviewers chosen and specially trained for that purpose.
The Hellenic Republic shall ensure that, once the restructuring is completed, the organization of the system referred to in Article 1 guarantees the holding of existing or future surveys at Community level and that these surveys fulfil the requirements of Community law as regards scope and purpose and the realiability and time limits prescribed, without any further financial aid being granted by the Community, other than the contribution provided for in this Decision, except in cases where Community contributions are also laid down for the other Member States.
1. The organization of the new system of surveys referred to in Article 1 shall take the form of a programme which is to begin in 1986 and shall be spread over a period of five years (1986 to 1990). The new system shall apply in particular to work on agricultural statistics provided for in the statistical programmes of the European Communities and to work designed to ensure the participation of the Farm Accountancy Data Network in the strengthened regional and national technical and administrative infrastructure.
2. The timetable for the introduction of the programme on the basis of the new system shall be as follows:
- first year:
Macedonia;
- second year:
Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly and Epirus;
- third year:
Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Central Greece and the Ionian Islands;
- fourth year:
Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Central Greece, the Ionian Islands and the Peloponnese;
- fifth year:
the whole of Greece.
3. The Hellenic Republic shall be entitled to submit amendments to the running of the programme. The Commission shall decide whether such amendments shall be approved, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.
1. From 1986 until the end of the programme, the Hellenic Republic shall submit to the Commission, in June each year (t), an annual programme of measures for the purposes of applying Article 3. The first annual programme, which shall be presented not later than three months after this Decision comes into force, shall define the measures to be introduced in the year after it is submitted.
The annual programme shall contain information on:
(a) all the surveys to be carried out in the following year (t + 1), particularly on the field of observation, the sampling plan, the questionnaires to be used, the anticipated statistical errors and the measures introduced to increase the reliability of the results;
(b) progress achieved in strengthening the technical and administrative apparatus both centrally and regionally;
(c) experience gained from the implementation of the previous annual programme (t - 1), including progress made in the institution of the new survey system at regional level in each production sector, the statistical errors recorded and the measures introduced to increase the reliability of the results; (d) a report on the financing of the programme and the use of the Community contribution.
2. At the request of the Commission, the Hellenic Republic shall supply additional information on the annual programme submitted in accordance with paragraph 1.
3. The Commission shall decide whether the annual programme shall be approved, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.
1. The Commission shall take all the necessary steps to ensure that the running of the programme enables the objectives referred to in Article 1 to be achieved.
2. Every year and for the duration of the programme, the Commission shall submit to the Council a report on the implementation of the programme, in particular as concerns its technical and financial aspects.
1. The Community shall contribute to the financing of the programme up to the amount of the appropriations entered for this purpose in the general budget of the European Communities and in accordance with the arrangements laid down in this Decision. The Community contribution shall be equal to not more than one third of the actual expenditure of the programme. The expenditure to be borne by the Community estimated necessary amounts to 20 million ECU for the entire programme.
2. The contribution shall be made available to the Hellenic Republic in yearly instalments after submission and approval of the annual programme referred to in Article 4 (1).
3. The annual distribution of the amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall depend on the progress made in the implementation of the programme.
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, the Chairman shall refer the matter to the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State.
2. The Commission representative shall submit a draft of the measures to be adopted. The Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the Chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matters submitted for discussion. The opinion shall be delivered by a majority of 45 votes, the votes of the Member States being weighted as provided for in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. 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 Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, they shall forthwith be communicated by the Commission to the Council. In that event, the Commission may defer application of the measures which it has adopted for not more than one month from the date of such communication.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within one month.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 21(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 22(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (3), and in particular Article 72(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (4), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 62(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 92/66/EEC lays down the Union control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of Newcastle disease. Directive 92/66/EEC provides, inter alia, that each Member State is to draw up a contingency plan specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of that disease.
(2) Directive 2001/89/EC lays down the minimum Union measures for the control of classical swine fever. Directive 2001/89/EC provides, inter alia, that each Member State is to draw up a contingency plan specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of that disease.
(3) Directive 2003/85/EC lays down the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease of whatever type of virus. That Directive also lays down certain preventive measures aimed at increasing awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities and the farming community for foot-and-mouth disease. Directive 2003/85/EC provides, inter alia, that Member States are to draw up a contingency plan specifying the national measures required to maintain a high level of foot-and-mouth disease awareness and preparedness, and environmental protection and to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of that disease.
(4) Directive 2005/94/EC lays down certain preventive measures relating to the surveillance and the early detection of avian influenza and increasing the level of the competent authorities’ and the farming community’s awareness of, and preparation for, the risks of that disease. That Directive also lays down the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry or other captive birds and the early detection of possible spread of avian influenza viruses to mammals. Directive 2005/94/EC provides, inter alia, that Member States are to draw up a contingency plan in accordance with Annex X thereto, specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza.
(5) Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 of 24 September 2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing (5) lays down rules for the killing of animals bred or kept for the production of food, wool, skin, fur or other products as well as the killing of animals for the purposes of depopulation and for related operations. Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 provides, inter alia, that the stunning and killing methods planned and the corresponding standard operating procedures for ensuring compliance with that Regulation are to be included in the contingency plans required under Union law on animal health, on the basis of the hypothesis established in the contingency plan concerning the size and the location of suspected outbreaks.
(6) In view of its accession to the Union on 1 July 2013, Croatia has submitted to the Commission its contingency plans for Newcastle disease, classical swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza for examination and approval.
(7) Those plans, as amended by Croatia following suggestions made by the Commission during their examination, comply with the criteria laid down in Directives 92/66/EEC, 2001/89/EC, 2003/85/EC and 2005/94/EC respectively. In addition, they include the necessary elements in order to comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009. The plans allow, subject to an effective implementation and regular update, that the objectives of Directives 92/66/EEC, 2001/89/EC, 2003/85/EC and 2005/94/EC and of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 be attained. It is therefore appropriate to approve those plans by this Decision.
(8) 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 following contingency plans submitted by Croatia on 11 May 2013 are approved:
(a) the contingency plan specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of Newcastle disease, provided for in Article 21(1) of Directive 92/66/EEC;
(b) the contingency plan specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of classical swine fever, provided for in Article 22(1) of Directive 2001/89/EC;
(c) the contingency plan specifying the national measures required to maintain a high level of foot-and-mouth disease awareness and preparedness, and environmental protection and to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, provided for in Article 72(1) of Directive 2003/85/EC;
(d) the contingency plan specifying the national measures to be implemented in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza, provided for in Article 62(1) of Directive 2005/94/EC.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 June 2007
concerning the non-inclusion of cadusafos in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2007) 2511)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/428/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes cadusafos.
(3) For cadusafos the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For cadusafos the rapporteur Member State was Greece and all relevant information was submitted on 1 June 2004.
(4) The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 24 April 2006 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance cadusafos (4). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 24 November 2006 in the format of the Commission review report for cadusafos.
(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns were identified. Based on the available information, it has not been demonstrated that the estimated exposure of consumers resulting from the acute and chronic intake assessment is acceptable, due to insufficient information on the residue level. Moreover the risk to groundwater could not be assessed, due to a lack of data. Therefore it was not possible to conclude, on the basis of the information available, that cadusafos met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments advanced, the above concerns remained unsolved, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing cadusafos satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Cadusafos should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing cadusafos are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by Member States for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing cadusafos, should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for cadusafos according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Cadusafos shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) Authorisations for plant protection products containing cadusafos are withdrawn by 18 December 2007;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing cadusafos are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire not later than 18 December 2008 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 97/132/EC of 17 December 1996 on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products(1), as amended by Decision 1999/837/EC(2), and in particular Article 3, third paragraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2002/957/EC of 28 November 2002 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning the amendment to the Annexes to the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products(3), provided for the possibility of recognising the equivalence of the New Zealand certification systems for fresh meat and meat-based products and for other animal products.
(2) The Joint Management Committee for the Agreement (the Committee), at its meeting on 27 and 28 February 2003, issued a recommendation concerning the determination of equivalence of certification systems for the following animal products: animal casings, hides and skins, pet food, bones and bone products, processed animal protein, blood and blood products, lard and rendered fats, raw materials for feedingstuffs, pharmaceutical or technical use and products obtained from poultrymeat. As a result of this recommendation it is appropriate to amend Annex V to the Agreement.
(3) The Committee at that same meeting issued further recommendations concerning amendments of certain Annexes to the Agreement to take account of changes in the administrative structure of the responsible authorities and the contact point of New Zealand, and of changes relating to New Zealand legislation. The Committee also recommended amendment of Annex V with respect to BSE-related measures in accordance with the current legislation of both Parties.
(4) Those amendments should be approved on behalf of the Community.
(5) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Pursuant to the recommendations made by the Joint Management Committee established under Article 16 of the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products the amendments to Annexes II, V and X to the said Agreement are hereby approved on behalf of the European Community. The text of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, including the amendments to the Annexes to the Agreement, is attached to this Decision.
The Director-General for Health and Consumer Protection is hereby empowered to sign the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters in order to bind the Community.
This Decision shall apply from the first day of the month following the month in which New Zealand notifies the Commission in writing that its internal procedures for the approval of the amendments referred to in Article 1 have been completed.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 534/2012
of 21 June 2012
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
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), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 168 and 169 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.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of 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 (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).
(5) The third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provides for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 343/2012 (6). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(7) In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(8) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 1,2/100 kg.
Regulation (EU) No 343/2012 is hereby repealed.
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.
