THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and, in particular, Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 96/753/EC of 6 December 1996 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and, in particular, Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, approved by Decision 96/753/EC, provides for an annual tariff quota for imports originating in Norway of chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa. It is necessary to open that quota for 2005.
(2) 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 (3), lays down rules for the management of tariff quotas. It is appropriate to provide that the tariff quota opened by this Regulation is to be managed in accordance with those rules.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 778/83
of 30 March 1983
laying down quality standards for tomatoes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/82 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas the quality standards for tomatoes are laid down in Annex II/2 of Regulation No 23 (3); whereas those standards were amended by Regulation No 190/67/EEC (4);
Whereas a change has occurred in the production and marketing of tomatoes, particularly as regards the requirements of consumer and wholesale markets; whereas the common quality standards for tomatoes as laid down by Regulation No 23 should therefore be changed to take those new requirements into account;
Whereas such changes entail alteration of the definition of the supplementary quality class as laid down by Council Regulation No 211/66/EEC (5); whereas account should be taken, in defining that class, of the economic importance to producers of the products concerned and of the need to meet consumer requirements;
Whereas the standards are applicable at all stages of marketing; whereas transportation over a long distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling operations may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish; whereas, therefore, account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages following dispatch; whereas, since the products in the 'Extra' Class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness or turgescence is to be taken into account only in their case;
Whereas in the interest of clarity and certainty as to legal requirements for ease of use the standards thus changed should be consolidated in a single text;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegeables,
The quality standards for tomatoes falling within subheading 07.01 M of the Common Customs Tariff are set out in the Annex hereto.
These standards shall apply at all marketing stages, under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
However, at the stages following dispatch the products may show, in relation to the standards prescribed,
- a slight lack of freshness and turgescence,
- for the products graded in the classes other than the 'Extra' Class, slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.
1. The words 'to tomatoes' in Article 2 of Regulation No 23 and the word 'tomatoes' in Article 1 of Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby deleted.
2. Annex II/2 to Regulation No 23 and Annex II to Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

closing the sale provided for in Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 opening the sale of skimmed milk powder by a tendering procedure
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 43(j), in conjunction of Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder were open by Commission Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 (2) in accordance with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 of 11 December 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards buying-in and selling of agricultural products under public intervention (3).
(2) In respect of the 2012 food distribution plan, the overall quantities of skimmed milk powder requested by Member States in accordance with Article 1(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (4) exceed the currently available quantity. It is therefore appropriate to reserve all remaining quantity of skimmed milk powder in intervention stocks.
(3) The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 should therefore be closed and that Regulation should be repealed. Consequently, the offers received by the intervention agencies of the Member States from 17 May 2011 from 11.00 (Brussels time) have become devoid of purpose.
(4) In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(5) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder, opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010, are closed.
Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 May 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Tracor - Multichannel Analysis System, model TN-1710' may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/269/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 8 November 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Tracor - Multichanel Analysis System, model TN-1710', ordered on 25 November 1980 and intended to be used for basic research into the interactions between ions and the surfaces of solids, the purpose of being to interpret the physics of ion reflection, ion emission and photon emission in the case of ion bombardment, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 21 March 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analysis system;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the spectral analysis, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Tracor - Multichannel Analysis System, model TN-1710', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 8 November 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste(1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 94/62/EC provides in Article 11 a gradual reduction of the concentration of heavy metals in packaging.
(2) Experience of the first years of application of Article 11 has shown that there is a specific problem in the glass sector, as the recycled glass is contaminated by glass material containing high quantities of lead.
(3) The full applications of the level of 100 ppm, which is due to enter into force on 30 June 2001, might have as a consequence that the use of recycled glass is reduced, in order to comply with Article 11. This result is environmentally not desirable for this reason.
(4) The derogation is intended for glass packaging taking account of its characteristics in relation to emissions of heavy metals and the importance of further encouraging glass recycling.
(5) The 100 ppm limit is to be concerned by the derogation.
(6) Measurements results from production sites and measurement methods employed should be made available to the competent authorities if requested.
(7) The derogation is to expire on 30 June 2006 unless this deadline is extended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee, established pursuant to Article 21 of European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC,
This Decision, shall apply to glass packaging covered by Directive 94/62/EC, and aims to establish the conditions under which the concentration levels established in Article 11 of Directive 94/62/EC shall not apply.
For the purposes of this Decision:
- the definitions as set out in Article 3 of Directive 94/62/EC shall apply,
- "intentionally introduced" shall mean "deliberately utilised in the formulation of a packaging or a packaging component where its continued presence is desired in the final packaging or packaging component to provide a specific characteristic, appearance, or quality"; the use of recycled materials as feedstock for the manufacture of new packaging materials, where some portion of the recycled materials may contain amounts of regulated metals, is not be considered as intentionally introduced.
Glass packaging is allowed to exceed, after the date of 30 June 2001, the limit of 100 ppm by weight established in Article 11 of Directive 94/62/EC where it complies with all the conditions established in Articles 4 and 5 of this Decision.
No lead, cadmium, mercury or hexavalent chromium shall be intentionally introduced during the manufacturing process.
The packaging material may only exceed the concentration limits because of the addition of recycled materials.
Where the average heavy metals concentration levels on any twelve consecutive monthly controls made from the production of each individual glass furnace, representative of normal and regular production activity, exceeds the 200 ppm limit, the manufacturer or this authorised representative shall submit a report to the competent authorities in the Member States. This report shall include as a minimum the following information:
- measures values,
- description of measurement methods employed,
- suspected sources for the presence of heavy metals concentration levels,
- detailed description of the measures taken to reduce the heavy metals concentration levels.
Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the European Union, the obligation to submit a report to the competent authorities shall be with the person who places the product on the Communtiy market.
Measurement results from production sites and measurement methods employed shall be made available at any time to the competent authorities, if requested.
This Decision shall expire on 30 June 2006, unless it is extended, in particular on the basis of the reports under Article 5 of this Decision and Article 17 of Directive 94/62/EC, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4281/88 of 21 December 1988 concerning the safeguard measure laid down in Article 2 of Decision No 5/88 of the EEC-Sweden Joint Committee amending Protocol 3
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 an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden (1) was signed on 22 July 1972 and came into force on 1 January 1973;
Whereas Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of ´originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, which is an integral part of the said Agreement, was amended by Decision No 5/88 of the EEC-Sweden Joint Committee of 14 December 1988 (2) with a view to simplifying the cumulation rules; whereas a specific safeguard measure is provided for in Article 2 of that Decision;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2839/72 of 19 December 1972 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden (3) relates only to the implementation of the safeguard and interim protective measures provided for in Articles 22 to 27 of the Agreement; whereas it is not suitable for implementation of the specific safeguard measure provided for in Article 2 of Decision No 5/88; whereas procedures for implementing the said safeguard should consequently be laid down;
Whereas the said safeguard measure is to apply throughout the experimental three-year period laid down in Decision No 5/88,
Where the application of the new provisions concerning cumulation leads to such an increase in the quantity of non-originating materials effectively incorporated that serious injury or threat of serious injury is caused to production being carried out in the Community, the Commission, acting on its own initiative or a reasoned request from a Member State, may adopt the safeguard measures provided for in Article 2 of Decision No 5/88 of the EEC-Sweden Joint Committee. Such measures shall become applicable immediately.
Before deciding on the measures to be taken, the Commission may hold consultations. Such consultations shall be held in the Committee on Origin set up under Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods Article 3 The Commission shall communicate any decision concerning the safeguard measures referred to in Article 1 to the Council and the Member States without delay. Any Member State may refer the Commission's decision to the Council within a period of not more than 15 working days.
The Council, acting on a qualified majority, may take a different decision within a period which shall in no circumstances exceed three months from the date of the communication referred to in the first subparagraph.
Nothing in this Regulation shall affect the procedures for implementation of the safeguard measures and interim protective measures in Articles 22 to 27 of the Agreement laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2839/72.
The notification on behalf of the Community to the Joint Committee provided for in the second paragraph of Article 2 of Decision No 5/88 shall be made by the Commission.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
It shall apply until 31 December 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) The Netherlands submitted an application on 30 December 2009 to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in nine enterprises operating in NACE Revision 2 Division 18 (printing and reproduction of recorded media) in the NUTS II region Limburg (NL42) and supplemented it with additional information up to 6 May 2010. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 549 946.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by the Netherlands,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 549 946 in commitment and payment appropriations.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2290/2003
of 23 December 2003
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) Import duties and export refunds still apply to certain sugar products traded between the Community, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, hereinafter referred to as "new Member States", of the other part, and the level of export refunds is appreciably greater than the level of import duties. In view of the accession of these countries to the Community on 1 May 2004, the appreciable gap between the level of import duties and the level of export refunds granted for the products in question may result in speculative trade flows.
(10) To prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be set for all the new Member States for the products covered by this Regulation.
(11) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Decision
of 13 February 2002
amending Decision 2001/218/EC requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pinewood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur
(notified under document number C(2002) 472)
(2002/124/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/33/EC(2), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger of the introduction into its territory of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al., (the pine wood nematode (PWN)), from another Member State, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger.
(2) Portugal informed the other Member States and the Commission on 25 June 1999 that some samples of pine trees originating in its territory were identified as infested by the PWN. In consequence, the Commission authorised Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of PWN, as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur. The currently applicable authorisation is set out in Decision 2001/218/EC(3).
(3) Following a further assessment by the FVO in October 2001 and additional information supplied by Portugal, it appears that as a result of the application of an eradication programme, the spread of PWN is still limited within the demarcated area. However trees showing symptoms of infestation by PWN were still found during surveys of the area where it was previously known to occur.
(4) In official surveys carried out in 2001 by the other Member States on wood, isolated bark and plants of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr., originating in the Member State concerned, none of the samples taken and analysed tested positive for the presence of the PWN.
(5) It is therefore necessary for Portugal to continue to take specific measures to control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradication. It may also be necessary for the other Member States to continue to adopt additional measures to protect themselves.
(6) Since there is no new information giving cause for revision of these measures, Decision 2001/218/EC should therefore be extended for another limited period, and be amended accordingly.
(7) The effect of the emergency measures will be assessed continually during 2002 and 2003, in particular on the basis of information to be provided by Portugal and the other Member States. If it becomes apparent that the emergency measures referred to in the present Decision are not sufficient to prevent the spread of PWN or have not been complied with, more stringent or alternative measures should be envisaged.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2001/218/EC is amended as follows:
1. in the first paragraph of Article 2, "28 February 2002" is replaced by "28 February 2003";
2. in the second paragraph of Article 4, "15 November 2001" is replaced by "15 November 2002";
3. in Article 6, "15 December 2001" is replaced by "15 December 2002".

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1122/78 (3), does not fix the dates for the beginning and end of the marketing years or seasons for fresh fruit and vegetables produced in the Community ; whereas experience has shown the need, in particular when the representative rates for the various currencies are adjusted, to fix marketing periods at least for products subject to the intervention system or for which there are reference prices;
Whereas, so that there may be fuller information as to quantities produced and quantities coming on to the market, producers who are members of producers' organizations should be required to provide such information when requested by their organization;
Whereas Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 makes provision for measures to encourage the formation and operation of these organizations;
Whereas experience has shown that these measures have not been fully successful in encouraging the formation of producers' organizations in certain regions of the Community ; whereas additional measures should therefore be introduced for a limited period;
Whereas, in order to encourage action by producers' organizations to adapt supplies more closely to market requirements, these organizations should be authorized to withdraw products which, while meeting the quality standards, do not comply with the marketing rules which they have adopted;
Whereas Article 16 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that the price at which the products subject to intervention are bought in pursuant to Article 19 shall be calculated by applying conversion factors to the buying-in price ; whereas, with respect to grapes, there are structural surpluses of this product for which corrective measures have already been taken ; whereas, pending the results of these measures, conversion factors to be applied to the buying-in price to maintain a balance between the intervention price for table grapes and the price obtained by the producer for that same product when intended for wine-making should be determined;
Whereas the markets in peaches and summer pears are particularly sensitive ; whereas it should be possible to follow trends in their prices, even if those of products having the same characteristics as those by reference to which the basic price is fixed are not available ; whereas balancing supply and demand should also be encouraged by permitting Member States to intervene more quickly ; whereas this may be achieved by raising the level of prices and shortening the period of market observation, since these are the two points which are decisive for recording a state of serious crisis for the product concerned;
Whereas Community preference would be better served if reference prices were adjusted to take account of changes in production costs;
Whereas Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that where it would be appropriate to apply a countervailing charge in respect of a number of exporting countries for the same product over the same period, a single charge shall be applied in respect of those countries unless the entry prices for one or more of those countries are abnormally low in relation to entry prices recorded for the other exporting country or countries concerned ; whereas recent experience has shown that application of these provisions results in repeated adjustments to the countervailing charge, causing uncertainty among traders ; whereas this could be prevented if the situation of each exporting country were treated separately ; whereas appropriate measures should, therefore, be introduced;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2483/75 (5), lays down the criteria on the basis of which the financial compensation granted to (1)OJ No C 6, 9.1.1978, p. 15. (2)OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 142, 30.5.1978, p. 13. (4)OJ No L 324, 27.12.1969, p. 21. (5)OJ No L 254, 1.10.1975, p. 5. processors is fixed ; whereas one of these criteria is the price which processors usually pay for their supplies, which is calculated on the basis of the prices obtaining in the industry during the three marketing years preceding the one for which financial compensation is granted ; whereas, following the extension of the granting of financial compensation to include all quantities of oranges bought by the industry, the prices obtaining in the industry are tending to merge with the minimum price ; whereas new criteria for fixing the financial compensation should therefore be laid down ; whereas these criteria should establish a direct link between the movement of the minimum price and changes in the proportion of that price which is payable by the processor,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:
"3. The marketing years or seasons shall be as follows: - for tomatoes and cucumbers, from 1 January to 31 December,
- for cherries, from 1 April to 30 September,

1. The following paragraph shall be inserted in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:

The amount of such aid shall not be less, for the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years respectively, than 5 %, 4 %, 3 %, 2 % and 1 % of the value of production marketed under the auspices of the producers' organization in question but, nevertheless, may not exceed the actual cost of formation and administrative costs of the organization concerned.
The aid shall be paid during the seven years following the date of establishment."
2. The following paragraph shall be added to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) 1035/72:
"4. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33."
The following subparagraph shall be inserted after the first subparagraph of Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:
"If marketing rules aimed at limiting the volume of the supply of products listed in Annex II are applied, the producers' organizations may decide not to put on sale products which, while conforming to the quality standards, do not comply with the marketing rules referred to above. In that case the producers' organizations or the appropriate associations of such organizations shall grant members compensation, calculated on the basis of the withdrawal price, for the quantities that remain unsold. Detailed rules for the application of this paragraph shall be adopted as necessary in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33."
The third subparagraph of Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be replaced by the following:
"In determining the period for which these prices are to apply, slack market periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing year shall be disregarded."
Article 16 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is hereby amended as follows: (a) in the first subparagraph the words "or Article 19a" shall be added after "Article 19";
(b) the following subparagraph shall be inserted after the second subparagraph:
"With respect to table grapes, the conversion factors shall be so fixed as to maintain a balance between the price at which the product is bought in under Article 19 and the price obtained for grapes produced with a view to the obligatory distillation of wine made from table grapes."
The following second subparagraph shall be added to Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:
"If, for peaches throughout the marketing year and for pears during the period 1 July to 31 August, these prices are unavailable for a given market on a given day, Member States shall communicate to the Commission the prices recorded for products to be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33."
In Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 the phrase "with the exception of peaches throughout the marketing year and pears for the period 1 July to 31 August" shall be added after "for a given product".
The following Article shall be inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72:
"Article 19a 1. By way of derogation from Article 19, where, for peaches or pears during the period 1 July to 31 August, on one of the representative markets referred to in Article 17 (2), the prices communicated to the Commission pursuant to Article 17 (1) remain below the buying-in price plus 5 % of the basic price for two consecutive market days, the Commission shall without delay record, if the Member State in which such a situation arises so requests, that the market in the product in question is in a state of serious crisis in that Member State.
2. Upon that finding, the Member State in question shall, through the body or natural or legal persons appointed by it for the purpose, buy in products of Community origin offered to it, provided that these products satisfy the quality and grading requirements laid down by the quality standards and they were not withdrawn from the market pursuant to Article 15 (1). The products concerned shall be purchased in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19 (2).
3. Buying-in operations shall be suspended when prices remain higher than the buying-in price plus 5 % of the basic price for two consecutive market days ; once this condition has been fulfilled, the Commission shall record the fact without delay."

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 164/2012
of 24 February 2012
amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks (1), and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The United Kingdom applied for the registration of ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’, as a geographical indication, in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 17(1) of that Regulation. ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ is a cider spirit traditionally produced in the county of Somerset of the United Kingdom. It constitutes a distinct cask aged product distilled from cider made exclusively from apples grown in that county.
(2) The application to register the name ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2) for the purposes of the objection procedure, in accordance with Article 17(6) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008.
(3) Spain submitted an objection to the registration of ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ on the ground that Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that a spirit drink that meets the specifications for a product defined in categories 1 to 46 of Annex II to that Regulation has to bear the sales denomination assigned in that Annex. In particular, point 10 of Annex II defines ‘cider spirit’ as a spirit drink produced through distillation of cider, and point 5 of that Annex defines ‘brandy’ as a spirit drink produced from wine spirit. Further, it was claimed that the use of the term ‘brandy’ as part of a geographical indication related to a cider spirit would mislead the consumer as to the true nature of the product.
(4) ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ is well established in the United Kingdom and has been known to consumers as ‘cider brandy’ for a significant period of time. It enjoys a high reputation and forms an essential part of the heritage of the county of Somerset. To require producers to modify the use of the term would not be proportionate to the objective of reserving the term ‘brandy’ only to wine spirits because it would cause prejudice to the regional economy of the county of Somerset while it would not correspond to the expectations of the consumers concerned, who are familiar with that type of beverage.
(5) ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ is not well known in the rest of the Union. To make the consumer aware of the true nature of the product in all Member States, thus avoiding any risk of confusion, the obligation to put the corresponding sales denomination ‘cider spirit’ on the label should be laid down. In the light of the above, the name ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ should be registered as a geographical indication in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008.
(6) The geographical indication ‘Herbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej’ is registered in product category 15 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, corresponding to ‘vodka’. However, the appropriate classification for this product, according to its specifications, should be ‘flavoured vodka’. Therefore, a new product category 31 ‘flavoured vodka’ should be inserted for this geographical indication in Annex III to that Regulation.
(7) The geographical indication ‘Irish Cream’ is registered in product category 32 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 as originating in Ireland. It is necessary to clarify that such geographical indication also covers the corresponding product manufactured in Northern Ireland.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) To facilitate the transition from the rules provided for in Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 to those in this Regulation, the marketing of existing stocks should be foreseen until they run out and the use of labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation should be allowed until 31 December 2012.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) in product category 10 ‘Cider spirit and perry spirit’, the following entry is added:
‘Somerset Cider Brandy
(3) United Kingdom
(2) in product category 15 ‘Vodka’, the following sixth entry is deleted:
‘Herbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej Poland’
(3) after product category 30 ‘Bitter-tasting spirit drinks/bitter’, the following entry related to product category 31 ‘Flavoured vodka’ is inserted:
Flavoured vodka
Herbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej Poland’
(4) in product category 32, the entry related to ‘Irish Cream’ is replaced by the following:
‘Irish Cream
(4) Ireland
Spirit drinks not meeting the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 as amended by Article 1 of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market until stocks run out.
Labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be used until 31 December 2012.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96 (2) (the ‘extending Regulation’),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) (the ‘exemption Regulation’), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of the exemption Regulation, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption from the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the ‘extended anti-dumping duty’). The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (4) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.
(2) Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (5), a period of examination has been selected. This period was defined as from 1 January 2007 to 31 May 2009. A questionnaire was sent to all parties under examination, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.
A. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
A.1. Acceptablerequests for exemption
(3) The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties had already received their suspension with effect from the day of arrival of a first complete application dossier at the Commission premises. The newly requested and provided information was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.

Winora Staiger GmbH Max-Planck-Strasse 6, 97526 Sennfeld Germany A894
(4) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for all of these applicants' bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
(5) For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty.
(6) In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.
A.2. Unacceptable request for exemption
(7) The party listed in table 2 below also submitted a request for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.

(8) This party did not submit a questionnaire reply.
(9) Since the party listed in table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption set by Article 6(2) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has to reject its request for exemption, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the request submitted by this party.
B. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
B.1. Admissible requests for exemption for which suspension should be granted
(10) Interested parties are hereby informed of the receipt of further requests for exemption, pursuant to Article 3 of the exemption Regulation, from parties listed in table 3.

DIRECTIVE 2009/32/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 23 April 2009
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients
(Recast)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 88/344/EEC of 13 June 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.
(2) Differences between national laws relating to extraction solvents hinder the free movement of foodstuffs and may create conditions of unequal competition, thereby directly affecting the functioning of the internal market.
(3) The approximation of those laws is therefore necessary if the free movement of foodstuffs is to be achieved.
(4) Laws relating to extraction solvents for use in foodstuffs should take account primarily of human health requirements but also, within the limits required for the protection of health, of economic and technical needs.
(5) Such approximation should involve the establishment of a single list of extraction solvents for the preparation of foodstuffs or food ingredients. General purity criteria should also be specified.
(6) The use of an extraction solvent under conditions of good manufacturing practice should result in the removal of all or the major part of the solvent residues from the foodstuff or food ingredient.
(7) Under such conditions, the presence of residues or derivatives in the final foodstuff or food ingredient may be unintentional but technically unavoidable.
(8) Although in general a specific limitation is useful, it need not be laid down for substances listed in Part I of Annex I which have been found acceptable from the point of view of safety to the consumer when used under conditions of good manufacturing practice.
(9) To take account of protection of public health, the conditions of use of other extraction solvents listed in Parts II and III of Annex I and maximum residue values permitted in food and food ingredients should be established.
(10) Specific purity criteria for extraction solvents and methods of analysis and sampling of extraction solvents in and on foodstuffs should be established.
(11) Should the use of an extraction solvent provided for in this Directive appear to constitute a health risk as a result of new information, Member States should be able to suspend or limit such use, or to reduce existing limits, pending a decision at Community level.
(12) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).
(13) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to amend the list of extraction solvents which may be used during the processing of the raw materials, of foodstuffs, of food components or of food ingredients, and the specification of their conditions of use and maximum residue limits, and to adopt specific purity criteria for extraction solvents and the methods of analysis necessary to verify compliance with the general and specific purity criteria as well as methods of analysis and sampling of extraction solvents in and on foodstuffs. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(14) On grounds of efficiency, the normal time-limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny should be curtailed for the adoption of amendments of the list of extraction solvents which may be used during the processing of the raw materials, of foodstuffs, of food components or of food ingredients, and the specification of their conditions of use and maximum residue limits, and for the adoption of specific purity criteria for extraction solvents.
(15) When, on imperative grounds of urgency, in particular where a risk to human health exists, the normal time-limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to apply the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC for the adoption of amendments of the list of extraction solvents which may be used during the processing of the raw materials, of foodstuffs, of food components or of food ingredients, and the specification of their conditions of use and maximum residue limits, and for the adoption of specific purity criteria for extraction solvents, as well as for the adoption of amendments to this Directive when it is established that the use in foodstuffs of any substance listed in Annex I or the level of one or more of the components referred to in Article 3 contained in such substances might endanger human health although it complies with the conditions laid down in this Directive.
(16) The new elements introduced into this Directive only concern the committee procedures. They therefore do not need to be transposed by the Member States.
(17) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,
1. This Directive applies to extraction solvents used or intended for use in the production of foodstuffs or food ingredients.
This Directive shall not apply to extraction solvents used in the production of food additives, vitamins and other nutritional additives, unless such food additives, vitamins or nutritional additives are listed in Annex I.
However, the Member States shall ensure that the use of food additives, vitamins and other nutritional additives does not result in foodstuffs containing extraction solvent residue levels dangerous to human health.
This Directive shall apply without prejudice to the provisions adopted under more specific Community rules.
2. For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) ‘solvent’ means any substance for dissolving a foodstuff or any component thereof, including any contaminant present in or on that foodstuff;
(b) ‘extraction solvent’ means a solvent which is used in an extraction procedure during the processing of raw materials, of foodstuffs, or of components or ingredients of these products and which is removed but which may result in the unintentional, but technically unavoidable, presence of residues or derivatives in the foodstuff or food ingredient.
1. Member States shall authorise the use as extraction solvents in the manufacture of foodstuffs or food ingredients of those substances and materials listed in Annex I, under the conditions of use and where appropriate within the maximum residue limits specified in that Annex.
Member States may not prohibit, restrict or obstruct the marketing of foodstuffs or food ingredients on grounds relating to the extraction solvents used or their residues if these comply with the provisions of this Directive.
2. Member States shall not authorise the use of other substances and materials as extraction solvents, nor extend the conditions of use or permitted residues of the extraction solvents listed in Annex I beyond those specified therein.
3. Water to which substances regulating acidity or alkalinity may have been added and other food substances which possess solvent properties are authorised as extraction solvents in the manufacture of foodstuffs or food ingredients.
Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the substances and materials listed as extraction solvents in Annex I comply with the following general and specific purity criteria:
(a) they shall not contain a toxicologically dangerous amount of any element or substance;
(b) subject to any exceptions deriving from the specific purity criteria adopted in accordance with point (d) of Article 4, they shall not contain more than 1 mg/kg of arsenic or more than 1 mg/kg of lead;
(c) they shall satisfy the specific purity criteria adopted in accordance with point (d) of Article 4.
The Commission shall adopt the following:
(a) the necessary amendments to Annex I in the light of scientific and technical progress in the field of the use of solvents, their conditions of use and maximum residue limits;
(b) the methods of analysis necessary to verify compliance with the general and specific purity criteria provided for in Article 3;
(c) the procedure for taking samples and the methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the extraction solvents listed in Annex I and used in foodstuffs or food ingredients;
(d) if necessary, the specific purity criteria for the extraction solvents listed in Annex I, and in particular maximum permitted limits of mercury and cadmium in the extraction solvents.
The measures referred to in points (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 6(2).
The measures referred to in points (a) and (d) of the first subparagraph, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 6(3).
Where necessary, the measures referred to in points (a) and (d) of the first subparagraph shall be adopted in accordance with the urgency procedure referred to in Article 6(4).
1. Where a Member State, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing information made since this Directive was adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that the use in foodstuffs of any substance listed in Annex I or the level of one or more of the components referred to in Article 3 contained in such substances might endanger human health although it complies with the conditions laid down in this Directive, that Member State may temporarily suspend or restrict application of the provisions in question in its territory. It shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof and give reasons for its decision.
2. The Commission shall examine as soon as possible the evidence given by the Member State concerned and consult the Committee referred to in Article 6(1), and shall then deliver its opinion forthwith and take the appropriate measures, which may replace the measures referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.
3. If the Commission considers that amendments to this Directive are necessary in order to resolve the difficulties mentioned in paragraph 1 and to ensure the protection of human health, it shall adopt those amendments.
Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the urgency procedure referred to in Article 6(4).
Any Member State which has adopted safeguard measures may in that event retain them until the amendments enter into force in its territory.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, set up by Article 58 of 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 (6).
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to (4) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

The periods laid down in Article 5a(3)(c), (4)(b) and (4)(e) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at two months, one month and two months respectively.
4. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1), (2), (4) and (6) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the substances listed in Annex I and intended for use as extraction solvents in foodstuffs may not be marketed unless their packaging, containers or labels carry the following particulars in such a way as to be easily visible, clearly legible and indelible:
(a) the commercial name as indicated in Annex I;
(b) a clear indication that the material is of a quality suitable for use for the extraction of food or food ingredients;
(c) a reference by which the batch or lot may be identified;
(d) the name or business name and address of the manufacturer or packer or of a seller established within the Community;
(e) the net quantity given as units of volume;
(f) if necessary, the special storage conditions or conditions of use.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the particulars specified in points (c), (d), (e) and (f) of that paragraph may appear only on the trade documents relating to the batch or lot which are to be supplied with or prior to the delivery.
3. This Article shall be without prejudice to more precise or more extensive Community provisions regarding weights and measures or provisions applying to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and mixtures.
4. Member States shall refrain from laying down requirements more detailed than those already contained in this Article concerning the manner in which the particulars provided are to be shown.
Each Member State shall, however, ensure that the sale of extraction solvents within its territory is prohibited if the particulars provided for in this Article do not appear in a language easily understood by purchasers, unless other measures have been taken to ensure that the purchaser is informed. This provision shall not prevent such particulars from being indicated in various languages.
1. This Directive shall also apply to extraction solvents used or intended for use in the production of foodstuffs or food ingredients imported into the Community.
2. This Directive shall not apply to extraction solvents or foodstuffs intended for export outside the Community.
Directive 88/344/EEC, as amended by the acts listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 757/2003
of 29 April 2003
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 41,622 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 June 1995 adjusting the weightings applicable from 1 February 1993 to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities serving in countries outside the European Union (95/261/EC, Euratom, ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of the Officials of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 3167/94 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Whereas pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations Council Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2403/94 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 January 1993 to the remuneration of officials serving in countries outside the European Union, payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas, some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 February 1993 given that the statistics available to the European Commission show that in certain countries outside the European Union the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down,
Sole Article
With effect from 1 February 1993 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in countries outside the European Union payable in the currency of their country of employment are adjusted as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Union during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect, namely January 1993.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3098/94 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned; whereas that coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, in view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 1995, the average ageing period in 1995 was six years for Irish whiskey; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 should be fixed;
Whereas Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway; whereas, therefore, pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 1996/97;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex.

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) Council Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 (3) confers powers on the Commission in order to implement some of the provisions of that Regulation. Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, it is appropriate to align those powers to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
(2) In order to ensure the efficient adaptation of certain provisions of Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 to technical and scientific progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of technical specifications and conditions relating to the signal characteristics and implementation characteristics of the use of acoustic deterrent devices. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(3) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 laying down rules on the procedure and format for reporting by Member States, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).
(4) In view of the requirement for Member States to take the necessary measures to establish a system of strict protection for cetaceans in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 812/2004, and given the shortcomings of that Regulation identified by the Commission, the appropriateness and effectiveness of the provisions of that Regulation for protecting cetaceans should be reviewed by 31 December 2015. On the basis of that review, the Commission should, if appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council an overarching legislative proposal for ensuring the effective protection of cetaceans, including through the regionalisation process.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 3, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 7, the following paragraph is added:

amending Decision 93/195/EEC as regards animal health and veterinary certification conditions for the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export to Mexico and amending Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC as regards the entry for Mexico in the list of third countries and parts thereof from which imports into the Union of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species are authorised
(notified under document C(2014) 692)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/86/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (2), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4), and the introductory phrase and points (a) and (b) of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/156/EC lays down animal health conditions for the importation into the Union of live equidae. In accordance with Article 13(1)(a) one of the conditions for the authorisation of imports of equidae into the Union is that the third country has been free from Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis for a period of two years.
(2) Commission Decision 93/195/EEC (3) provides models of health certificates for the re-entry of registered horses after temporary export to participate in racing, competition or cultural events.
(3) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC (4) establishes a list of third countries, or parts thereof where regionalisation applies, from which Member States are to authorise the importation of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos thereof. That list is set out in Annex I to that Decision.
(4) Commission Implementing Decision 2013/167/EU (5) amending the list in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC provides that temporary admission of registered horses, re-entry after temporary export of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events, imports of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production, and imports of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species from Mexico are currently not authorised.
(5) The Commission has received a risk assessment carried out by the French competent authorities relating to the re-entry of horses scheduled for temporary export to Mexico-City (Mexico). That assessment contains comprehensive details of the biosecurity measures applied by the Théâtr équestre Zingaro for the protection of the health status of their horses during their residence in Mexico-City as well as the quarantine measures imposed by the French competent authorities on those horses upon their return.
(6) Given the degree of veterinary supervision, the agreed routine health checks and the separation from equidae of lower health status, it is possible to lay down specific animal health and the veterinary certification conditions for the re-entry of these horses after their temporary export for a period of less than 90 days to participate in specific equestrian cultural events in Mexico-City.
(7) Decision 93/195/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) Since the measures provided for in this Decision concern only a region of high altitude and during dry and tempered winter season with a reduced risk of vector born transmission of vesicular stomatitis or certain subtypes of Venezuelan equine encephalitis, the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export for a period of less than 90 days to the Metropolitan area of Mexico-City, a region in which Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis has not been reported for more than 2 years, should be authorised.
(9) The entry for that third country in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC should therefore be amended.
(10) Decision 2004/211/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,
Decision 93/195/EEC is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1, the following indent is added:
‘— have taken part in specific cultural events in the Metropolitan area of Mexico-City and meet the requirements laid down in a health certificate drawn up in accordance with the model health certificate set out in Annex X to this Decision.’;
(2) a new Annex X is added as set out in Annex I to this Decision.
Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 13 October 2003
amending Annex VI to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards quality wines produced in specified regions
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 58 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex VI.D.1 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 stipulates that quality wines psr may be produced only from grapes of wine varieties which appear on the list of the Member State of production and are harvested within the specified region.
(2) However, point D.2 of that Annex provides that, until 31 August 2003 at the latest, in the case of a traditional practice governed by special provisions of the Member State of production, that Member State may permit on certain conditions, by means of express authorisations and subject to suitable controls, that a quality sparkling wine psr be obtained by adding to the basic product from which the wine is made one or more wine-sector products which do not originate in the specified region whose name the wine bears.
(3) Italy has applied this derogation for the preparation of "Conegliano-Valdobbiadene" and "Montello e Colli Asolani" quality sparkling wines psr. Since the derogation expires on 31 August 2003 and the wine producers have justified that they need a limited extension to this derogation to allow them to make the necessary structural adjustments to the traditional method for producing these wines, the derogation should be extended until 31 August 2005.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The first subparagraph of Annex VI.D.2 to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby replaced by the following:"As an exception to paragraph 1(a), in the case of a traditional practice governed by special provisions of the Member State of production, that Member State may until 31 August 2005 at the latest, by means of express authorisations and subject to suitable controls, permit that a quality sparkling wine psr be obtained by adding to the basic product from which the wine is made one or more wine-sector products which do not originate in the specified region whose name the wine bears, provided that:"
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 September 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1314/90
of 14 May 1990
fixing the production target price, the production aid and the intervention price for olive oil for the 1990/91 marketing year
THE COUNCIL 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 Articles 89 (1), 92 (3), 234 (2) and 290 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation N° 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2902/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 (4) and Article 5 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the production target price for olive oil is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the target price referred to above must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Articles 4 and 6 of Regulation N° 136/66/EEC;
Whereas, if the producer is to receive a fair income, production aid must be fixed in the light of the impact which the consumption aid has on part only of the production;
Whereas the intervention price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation N° 136/66/EEC;
Whereas, as a result of the application of Articles 68 and 236 of the Act of Accession, the intervention price for olive oil in Spain and Portugal differs from the common prices; whereas,
after the adjustment of the 'acquis communautaire` with relation to vegetable oils and fats, the detailed rules for the alignment of intervention prices for olive oil applicable in Spain and Portugal are those set out in the second indents of Articles 92 (2) and of Article 290 (2) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas Articles 95 and 293 of the Act of Accession provide for the granting of Community aid for the production of olive oil in Spain and in Portugal; whereas, pursuant to Articles 79 and 246 of that Act, the amounts of the Community aid in Spain and Portugal should be aligned on the common aid at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules on this alignment result in the Spanish and Portuguese aid rates shown below;
Whereas the production target price and the intervention price are fixed for a specific standard quality; whereas the reasons which led to the determination of the standard quality for the 1981/82 marketing year are still valid; whereas that standard quality should therefore remain unchanged;
Whereas, under Article 5 (4) of Regulation N° 136/66/
EEC, a percentage of the production earmarked for producers may be allocated to the financing of regional measures to improve the quality of olive oil production; whereas such measures are necessary in certain production regions; whereas some of the said aid should therefore be allocated to the financing of such measures;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 20 (d) (1) of Regulation N° 136/66/EEC, the percentage of the production aid which may be withheld for recognized organizations of olive oil producers or associations thereof should be so fixed that the resulting amount helps to finance the expenditure incurred in the work done pursuant to Articles 5 (3) and 20c of that Regulation; whereas that percentage should be set at a level which enables foreseeable expenditure in the 1990/91 marketing year to be covered,
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the production target price, the production aid and the intervention price for olive oil shall be as follows:
(a) production target price: ECU 322,56 per 100 kg;
(b) production aid:
- for Spain:ECU 39,63 per 100 kg,
- for Portugal:ECU 35,48 per 100 kg,
- for the Community
of Ten:ECU 70,95 per 100 kg;
(c) production aid for growers whose average production is less than 400 kilograms of olive oil per year:
- for Spain:ECU 44,38 per 100 kg,
- for Portugal:ECU 40,23 per 100 kg,
- for the Community
of Ten:ECU 81,76 per 100 kg;
(d) intervention price:
- for Spain:ECU 175,42 per 100 kg,
- for Portugal:ECU 207,94 per 100 kg,
- for the Community
of Ten:ECU 216,24 per 100 kg.
The prices referred to in Article 1 shall relate to ordinary virgin olive oil with a free fatty acid content, expressed as oleic acid, of 3,3 grams per 100 grams.
For the 1990/91 marketing year, 2 % of the production aid earmarked for olive oil producers shall be allocated to the financing of specific measures to improve the quality of olive oil in each producer Member State.
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the percentage of the production aid which may be withheld pursuant to Article 20d (1) of Regulation N° 136/66/EEC for organizations of olive oil producers or associations thereof recognized under the said Regulation shall be 1,5 %.
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 November 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION No 1622/2006/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 24 October 2006
establishing a Community action for the European Capital of Culture event for the years 2007 to 2019
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 151 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Decision No 1419/1999/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) established a Community action for the European Capital of Culture event for the years 2005 to 2019.
(2) A study into the results achieved by the European City of Culture event until 2004 showed that it had a positive impact in terms of media resonance, the development of culture and tourism and the recognition by inhabitants of the importance of their city having been designated; however, the action still needs to be improved, particularly with regard to its long-term effect on the cultural development of the city and region concerned.
(3) By enabling cities to involve their surrounding region, including any islands, a wider public can be reached and the impact of the event can be amplified.
(4) The stakeholders in the event stressed problems in the selection process laid down in Decision No 1419/1999/EC, and recommended monitoring the proposals, particularly in order to enhance their European dimension, improving competition, and redefining the role of the panel.
(5) The importance and impact of the European Capital of Culture calls for the creation of a mixed selection process, involving national and European levels, and the introduction of a strong monitoring and consultative element, to incorporate a national component and strengthen the European dimension.
(6) The preparation phase of the event is of crucial importance for its success in accordance with the objectives of the action.
(7) To guarantee the European added value of the action, a monitoring phase after the designation is needed, in which, first, care is taken to fulfil the criteria laid down for the cultural programme and, second, expert advice and assistance is provided.
(8) A panel of six national and seven European experts should be established; the whole panel comprising 13 experts (the selection panel) should oversee the selection phase up to the designation of the city; only the seven European experts on the panel (the monitoring and advisory panel) should oversee the monitoring process and give guidance to the European Capitals of Culture during the monitoring phase up to the event.
(9) For support and assistance, for both the applicant and designated cities, a website should be set up, constantly maintained and regularly updated by the Commission, on the subject of European Capitals of Culture (application, selection, implementation and links).
(10) It is important to encourage the dissemination of good practice, especially to guarantee the European added value of the action. Therefore, networks of former official European Capitals of Culture should be encouraged to play a constructive role in sharing their experiences and best practice with future European Capitals of Culture, notably on the basis of exchanges during the preparation phase.
(11) It is important to reward the quality of the programme in terms of the objectives and criteria of the action and particularly the European added value by awarding a pecuniary prize.
(12) To safeguard the long-term effect of the European Capital of Culture event it is desirable to use the initiative, and the structures and capacities that it creates, as the basis for a lasting cultural development strategy for the cities concerned.
(13) To enable third countries to take part in European cultural initiatives, the European Cultural Month (4), or a comparable initiative, should be explored.
(14) The designation process laid down in this Decision needs a period of six years to be implemented; this six-year period cannot be guaranteed for the years 2011 and 2012 given that this Decision enters into force in 2007. For these years, a designation process is therefore provided.
(15) In the interests of clarity, Decision No 1419/1999/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision,

(2) In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has submitted an application with which it requests changing the terms of authorisation of that feed additive when used in laying hens by reducing the minimum recommended dose of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) (Quantum Phytase) from 2 000 FTU/kg to 250 FTU/kg. That application was accompanied by the relevant data supporting the request for the change.
(3) The European Food Safety Authority concluded in its opinion of 10 March 2010 that the additive 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) (Quantum Phytase) is efficacious in laying hens at the requested minimum dose of 250 FTU/kg of complete feed (3).
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 554/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 554/2008 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL DECISION of 18 December 1997 on a TACIS Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus for 1997 (98/1/EC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 of 25 June 1996 concerning the provision of assistance to economic reform and recovery in the new independent States and Mongolia (1), and in particular to Article 3 (11) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the internal situation of Belarus has deteriorated, in particular since November 1996, leading to a step backwards in the process of democratization and the restriction of basic liberties and violations of human rights;
Whereas, for this reason, no TACIS Indicative Programme 1996-1999 nor, consequently, any action programme could be negotiated with Belarusian authorities, although such programmes would normally form the basis of bilateral TACIS cooperation with a partner State, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96;
Whereas the Council has adopted a position towards Belarus which is stated in the Conclusions of 24 February 1997, the Declaration of 29 April 1997 and the Conclusions of 15 September 1997, suspending cooperation with the Belarusian authorities in the absence of convincing efforts to proceed with the necessary democratic reforms, but offering assistance to Belarus in the process of democratization, in particular in two specific areas: human rights protection and freedom of the media;
Whereas the Community has provided support for the process of democratization through budget line B7-7010, but that effort should be deepened and complemented by other measures;
Whereas Article 3 (11) of Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 allows the Council to take appropriate measures concerning assistance to a partner State when an essential element for the continuation of cooperation through assistance is missing, in particular in cases of violation of democratic principles and human rights;
Whereas the Commission has proposed to the Council to set up a Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus in the framework of the 1997 TACIS programme as the appropriate measure towards Belarus;
Whereas, even in the absence of a TACIS Indicative Programme 1996-1999 and, consequently, of an action programme for Belarus, the programme proposed by the Commission will be implemented in compliance with the appropriate procedures laid down in Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96, in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,
The TACIS Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus for 1997 is hereby approved for a maximum amount of ECU 5 million.
The Programme shall be implemented by the Commission, acting in accordance with the appropriate procedures laid down in Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96, in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 15 May 2003
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include propineb and propyzamide as active substances

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), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/31/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), establishes 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 propineb and propyzamide.
(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant-protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), the following rapporteur Member States were designated, which in turn submitted the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the Commission in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92: for propineb: rapporteur Member State Italy, all relevant information was submitted on 17 July 1996; for propyzamide: rapporteur Member State Sweden, all relevant information was submitted on 19 May 1998.
(3) Those assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(4) In accordance with Article 6(4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and in view of a possible unfavourable decision for propineb, the Commission organised a tripartite meeting with the main data submitter and the rapporteur Member State on 4 December 1997. The main data submitter provided further data in order to meet the initial concerns.
(5) The reviews of all active substances were finalised on 26 February 2003 in the format of the Commission review reports for propineb and propyzamide.
(6) The review of propyzamide did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants.
(7) The report on propineb and further information were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants for separate consultation. The Scientific Committee was asked to comment on the long-term exposure assessment for birds and on the appropriate animal model to be used for derivation of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). In its opinion(7) the Committee identified a number of respects in which the risks from propineb to birds and from propineb and the metabolite PTU to wild mammals have not been adequately addressed and also indicated ways to improve the risk assessment. Additionally, the Committee emphasised the necessity of a clear expression and justification of all end points, data, assumptions and rationales used for risk assessment. The Committee considered that the rat is the appropriate species for the derivation of ADI and AOEL. The recommendations of the Scientific Committee were taken into account during the further review and in this Directive and in the review report. After the missing information was subsequently delivered by the main notifier and evaluated by the rapporteur Member State, the Member States within the Standing Committee concluded that the risk for birds and wild mammals would be acceptable if appropriate risk-mitigation measures are applied.
(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant-protection products containing propineb or propyzamide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant-protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(9) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review report, except for confidential information, should be kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will resulting from the inclusion.
(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period within which to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant-protection products containing propineb or propyzamide, and in particular, to review existing authorisations to ensure that the conditions regarding those active substances set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are satisfied. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete dossier of each plant-protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(12) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 September 2004 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 October 2004.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant-protection product containing propineb or propyzamide to ensure that the conditions relating to those active substances set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary and by 30 September 2004 at the latest, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation.
2. Member States shall, for each authorised plant-protection product containing propineb or propyzamide as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 March 2004 at the latest, re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Where necessary and by 31 March 2008 at the latest, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 April 2004.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1361/76
of 14 June 1976
laying down certain detailed rules for applying the export refund on rice and on mixtures of rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC of 25 July 1967 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 668/75 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Whereas, to ensure the proper working of the refund system applicable to exports of rice to non-member countries, suitable rules should be applied to exports of mixtures of rice falling within different tariff subheadings;
Whereas the refund on such mixtures results from their tariff classification, which is normally determined in accordance with the general rules for the interpretation of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, in the case of mixtures of rice falling within different tariff headings, the tariff classification give rise to difficulties if determined in accordance with these rules; whereas in fact such classification sometimes results in the granting of a high refund on mixtures which, however, contain a substantial proportion of products qualifying for a low refund;
Whereas, in order to avoid such difficulties, special provisions should be adopted for determining the refund on mixtures of rice;
Whereas, since the provisions of Commission Regulation No 669/67/EEC of 27 September 1967 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of export refunds on rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 941/72 (4), are closely linked to the system applicable to exports of mixtures of rice, those provisions should be included in this Regulation and Regulation No 669/67/EEC should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
An export refund shall only apply to mixtures of rice falling within subheading 10.06 A and B of the Common Customs Tariff if the mixtures are composed of rice at the same stage of processing and, where appropriate, of broken rice. Paddy rice (subheading 10.06 A I), husked rice (subheading 10.06 A II), semi-milled rice (subheading 10.06 B I) and wholly milled rice (subheading 10.06 B II) shall each be considered to be at a different stage of processing.
Without prejudice to Article 3, the export refund applicable to products falling within heading No 10.06 of the Common Customs Tariff and composed of round grain, long grain or broken rice shall be that applicable:
(a) for mixtures containing 40% or less by weight of broken rice falling within subheading 10.06 C of the Common Customs Tariff:
— to the component predominating by weight, when that component represents at least 90% of the weight of the mixture, the weight of the broken rice having first been deducted,
— to the component, other than broken rice, to which the lowest refund is applicable, when none of the components represents at least 90% of the weight of the mixture, the weight of the broken rice having first been deducted;
(b) for other mixtures, to broken rice falling within subheading 10.06 C of the Common Customs Tariff.
Where exported rice falling within subheading 10.06 A or B of the Common Customs Tariff contains broken rice falling within subheading 10.06 C, the export refund shall be reduced as follows:
Percentage of broken rice % reduction of refund
Over 0 and up to 5 0
Over 5 and up to 10 2
Over 10 and up to 15 4
Over 15 and up to 20 6
Over 20 and up to 30 15
Over 30 and up to 40 30
Regulation No 669/67/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1976.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which an application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed according to the same procedure as the refund; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2006.

of 21 February 2012
on setting up the expert group on EU criminal policy
2012/C 53/05
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) The Union, in line with Article 67(3) of the Treaty, shall endeavour to ensure a high level of security through measures to prevent and combat crime and, if necessary, through the approximation of criminal laws.
(2) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 20 September 2011‘Towards an EU Criminal Policy — Ensuring the effective implementation of EU policies through criminal law’ (1) stresses the importance of developing a coherent and consistent EU criminal policy which should be supported through discussions in an expert group.
(3) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the field of EU criminal law and to define its tasks and structure.
(4) The group should support the Commission’s work on the development of an EU criminal policy and provide advice on all related questions. The group should also advice on the gathering of factual evidence for the assessment whether EU criminal law measures are essential to ensure the effective implementation of a Union policy.
(5) The group should be composed of up to 20 highly qualified experts, appointed in a personal capacity in a balanced representation in terms of professional background and geographic regions.
(6) The term of office of the members of the group should be three years and should be renewable.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 871/2006
of 15 June 2006
determining for the 2005/06 marketing year actual production of unginned cotton and the ensuing guide price reduction
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular the third indent of Article 19(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The first subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3) provides that actual production in each marketing year and the reduction in the guide price referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 are to be established before 15 June of that year.
(2) The second subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 states the terms on which the quantity of unginned cotton produced is to be reckoned as the actual production.
(3) The Greek authorities, using fibre yield as a quality criterion, have recognised 1 122 445 tonnes of unginned cotton as eligible for aid.
(4) The Greek authorities have informed the Commission that on 15 May 2006 they did not recognise as eligible for aid 2 844 tonnes of unginned cotton consisting of 603 tonnes not declared in line with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, 41 tonnes with excess humidity which were not of sound and fair merchantable quality in accordance with Article 15(1) of that Regulation and 2 200 tonnes damaged by fire.
(5) Exclusion from actual production of the abovementioned 2 200 tonnes of unginned cotton damaged by fire is not justified. This quantity meets the criteria laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and must accordingly be added to the quantity of 1 122 445 tonnes.
(6) In consequence, using fibre yield as a quality criterion, actual Greek production of unginned cotton for the 2005/06 marketing year must be considered to total 1 124 714 tonnes.
(7) The Spanish authorities, using fibre yield as a quality criterion, have recognised 355 348 tonnes of unginned cotton as eligible for aid.
(8) The Spanish authorities have informed the Commission that on 15 May 2006 they did not recognise as eligible for aid 1 708 tonnes of unginned cotton consisting of 1 482 tonnes in respect of which national area reduction measures under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 were disregarded, 21 tonnes that were not of sound and fair merchantable quality in accordance with Article 15(1) of that Regulation, 75 tonnes that were not declared in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, 120 tonnes that were damaged by fire and 10 tonnes because the rules concerning contracts referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 were not complied with.
(9) Exclusion from actual production of the abovementioned 10 tonnes of unginned cotton on account of non-compliance with the rules concerning contracts and of the 120 tonnes that were damaged by fire are not justified. Moreover, those quantities meet the requirements of the second subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and must therefore be added to the quantity of 355 348 tonnes.
(10) In consequence, by application of fibre yield as a quality criterion, actual Spanish production of unginned cotton in the 2005/06 marketing year must be considered to total 355 482 tonnes.
(11) The Spanish authorities, using fibre yield as a quality criterion, have recognised 440 tonnes of unginned cotton from crop areas in Portugal as eligible for aid. This quantity meets the requirements of the second subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and must accordingly be regarded as actual Portuguese production of unginned cotton for the 2005/06 marketing year.
(12) Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 provides that if the sum of the actual production determined for Spain and Greece exceeds 1 031 000 tonnes the guide price indicated in Article 3(1) of that Regulation is to be reduced in any Member State where actual production exceeds the guaranteed national quantity.
(13) Moreover, if the sum of actual production in Spain and Greece reduced by 1 031 000 tonnes is higher than 469 000 tonnes, the reduction in the guide price of 50 % increases gradually in accordance with the rules laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001.
(14) For the 2005/06 marketing year the guaranteed national quantity is exceeded in both Spain and Greece. Actual production in Spain is below its guaranteed national quantity increased by 113 000 tonnes. As a result, the guide price reduction in Spain should be equal to 50 % of the rate of overshot. In the case of Greece, actual production is as well as below its guaranteed national quantity increased by 356 000 tonnes. As a result, the guide price reduction in Greece should be equal to 50 % of the rate of overshot.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,
1. For the 2005/06 marketing year actual production of unginned cotton is hereby determined as:
— 1 124 714 tonnes for Greece,
— 355 482 tonnes for Spain,
— 440 tonnes for Portugal.
2. The amount by which the guide price is to be reduced for the 2005/06 marketing year shall be:
— Greece: EUR 23,280 per 100 kg of unginned cotton,
— Spain: EUR 22,748 per 100 kg of unginned cotton,
— Portugal: EUR 0 per 100 kg of unginned cotton.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the exchange of letters referred to in Article 9 of Annex I to the Agreement (4) between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt provides for the date of fixing the amount by which the levy is to be reduced and furthermore the reference period referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2412/73;
Whereas administrative supervisory measures should be taken in order to ensure that the 32 000 metric tons referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2412/73 are not exceeded;
Whereas the exchange of letters referred to above indicates the manner in which the quantities imported are to be counted against the annual volume ; whereas it would seem fair not to count against this total the imports for which there is no reduction of the levy;
Whereas, to enable the Commission to implement, where appropriate, Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2412/73, provision should be made for the Member States to communicate to the Commission the quantities of rice that are imported from the Arab Republic of Egypt;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1543/93 of 28 June 1993 fixing the amount of the premium granted to producers of potato starch for the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing year (2),
Whereas in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 1766/92 and (EEC) No 1543/93 it is necessary to lay down the conditions and rules governing the payment of the premium to potato starch manufacturers as well as the minimum price and compensatory payment to be paid to potato producers;
Whereas rules should be laid down on how starch manufacturers are to provide proof of the quantities of potatoes supplied to them, by specifying their starch content and showing payment of the minium price payable to the potato grower;
Whereas the net weight of the potatoes is determined in the Member States by three different methods which experience has shown to give equally satisfactory results; whereas all three methods may be approved and applied;
Whereas potatoes which cannot be used for the manufacture of starch should not qualify for the premium; whereas, to take account of those potatoes which are too small to give a normal yield on processing, a certain reduction should be made in the net weight used for calculating the minimum price payable by the starch manufacturer for the quantity of potatoes needed to manufacture one tonne of starch;
Whereas the main data relating to deliveries should be entered by the starch manufacturers on a receipt form and summarized on a payment slip made out by the starch manufacturer with a view to providing the information necessary for payment of the premium and for verifying entitlement thereto;
Whereas the checks which must be carried out on the potatoes, in particular to determine their starch content, call for facilities which only the starch manufacturers can provide; whereas the checks in question should be carried out at the starch works or at the delivery points operated by the latter, under the authority of an inspector approved by the Member State;
Whereas satisfactory operation of the arrangements introduced requires general surveillance by the national authorities of the whole of the operations conferring entitlement to the premium and necessitates a sufficiently dissuasive penalization of fraud and serious negligence;
Whereas the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate, provided for in Article 10 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (3), should be defined;
Whereas this Regulation incorporates, whilst adapting them to present market conditions, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2752/89 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2011/92 (5); whereas that Regulation should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not given an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Starch manufacturers shall take delivery of potatoes either at the starch works themselves or at their delivery points. The operations described in Articles 2 and 4 shall be carried out at the time of delivery and under the authority of an inspector approved by the Member State.
1. The gross weight of the potatoes shall be determined for each load at the time of delivery, where application of one of the methods described in Annex I so requires, by comparative weighings of the means of transport used, loaded and empty.
2. The net weight of the potatoes shall be determined by one of the methods described in Annex I.
1. The premium shall be granted to potato starch manufacturers in respect of potatoes of sound and fair marketable quality, on the basis of the quantity of potatoes used and their starch content, at the rates laid down in Annex II.
In cases where the starch content of the potatoes is calculated by Reimman's or Perow's scale and corresponds to a figure appearing on two or three lines in the second column of the Annex II, the rates applicable shall be those for the second or the third line.
2. Where the batches delivered contain 25 % or more of potatoes that can pass through a screen with a square mesh of 28 mm (hereinafter referred to as 'tailings'), the net weight used for determining the minimum price to be paid by the starch manufacturer shall reduced as follows:
The percentage of tailings shall be determined at the same time as the net weight.
The starch content of potatoes shall be determined on the basis of an under weight valid for 5 050 grams of potatoes supplied.
The water used must be clean and without additives, and its temperature must be between 9 and 18 °C.
1.

Whereas on 20 July 1987 the Portuguese Government forwarded a programme for producers' markets for fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables in Portugal, and supplied additional information on 10 November 1987;
Whereas the aims of this programme are to rationalize and modernize the assembly, storage, packaging in Portugal of flowers, fruits and vegetables within the producers' markets as to make the sector more competitive and add value to its output; whereas it therefore constitutes 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 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Onions are among the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must be adopted. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2213/83 of 28 July 1983 laying down quality standards for onions and witloof chicory(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2390/97(4), has been amended and can no longer ensure legal clarity.
(2) In the interest of clarity, the rules on onions should be separated from those on other products under Regulation (EEC) No 2213/83. The rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2213/83 should be repealed. To that end, and in the interest of preserving transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard for onions recommended by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3) Application of these standards should remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring production into line with consumer requirements and facilitate trade based on fair competition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(4) The standards are applicable at all marketing stages. Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period and the various processes the products undergo may cause some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the products or their perishable nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages following dispatch.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for onions, falling within CN code 0703 10 19, shall be as set out in the Annex.
This standard shall apply at all marketing stages, under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard a slight lack of freshness and turgidity, as well as slight deterioration due to their development and their perishable nature.
Regulation (EEC) No 2213/83 is amended as follows:
1. In the title, the words "onions and" are deleted.
2. Article 1(1) is replaced by the following: "1. The marketing standard for witloof chicory, falling within CN code 0705 21 00, shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation."
3. Annex I is deleted.
4. In Annex II, the title is replaced by the following title: "Annex".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Decision No 938/2010/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 providing macro-financial assistance to the Republic of Moldova

21.10.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 277/1
DECISION No 938/2010/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 20 October 2010
providing macro-financial assistance to the Republic of Moldova
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 212 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Relations between the Republic of Moldova (‘Moldova’) and the European Union are developing within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy. In 2005, the Community and Moldova agreed on a European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan identifying medium-term priorities in EU-Moldova relations. The framework of those bilateral relations is further enhanced by the recently launched Eastern Partnership. In January 2010 the European Union and Moldova started negotiating an Association Agreement that is expected to replace the existing Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.
(2) The Moldovan economy has been severely affected by the international financial crisis, with dramatically declining output, a deteriorating fiscal position and rising external financing needs.
(3) Moldova’s economic stabilisation and recovery are supported by financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF financing arrangement for Moldova was approved on 29 January 2010.
(4) Moldova has requested Union macro-financial assistance in view of the deteriorating economic situation and outlook.
(5) Given that a residual financing gap in 2010-2011 remains in Moldova’s balance of payments, macro-financial assistance is considered an appropriate response to Moldova’s request to support economic stabilisation in conjunction with the current IMF programme. This macro-financial assistance is also expected to contribute to alleviating the external financing needs of the State budget.
(6) The Union macro-financial assistance should not merely supplement programmes and resources from the IMF and the World Bank, but should ensure the added value of Union involvement.
(7) The Commission should ensure that the Union macro-financial assistance is legally and substantially in line with the measures taken within the different areas of external action and other relevant Union policies.
(8) The specific objectives of the Union macro-financial assistance should strengthen efficiency, transparency and accountability. These objectives should be regularly monitored by the Commission.
(9) The conditions underlying the provision of the Union macro-financial assistance should reflect key principles and objectives of Union policy towards Moldova.
(10) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Union’s financial interests linked to this macro-financial assistance, it is necessary that Moldova adopt appropriate measures relating to the prevention of, and the fight against, fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance. It is also necessary that the Commission provide for appropriate controls and that the Court of Auditors provide for appropriate audits.
(11) The release of the Union macro-financial assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.
(12) The Union macro-financial assistance should be managed by the Commission. In order to ensure that the European Parliament and the Economic and Financial Committee are able to follow the implementation of this Decision, the Commission should regularly inform them of developments relating to the assistance and provide them with relevant documents.
(13) According to Article 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for the control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers are to be laid down in advance by a regulation adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure. Pending the adoption of that new regulation, Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2) continues to apply, with the exception of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, which is not applicable,
1. The Union shall make available to Moldova macro-financial assistance in the form of a grant of a maximum amount of EUR 90 million with a view to supporting Moldova’s economic stabilisation and alleviating its balance of payments and budgetary needs, as identified in the current IMF programme.
2. The release of the Union macro-financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in a manner consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Moldova and with the key principles and objectives of economic reform set out in the EU-Moldova Partnership and Cooperation Agreement and Action Plan. The Commission shall regularly inform the European Parliament and the Economic and Financial Committee of developments in the management of the assistance and provide them with relevant documents.

|
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 16 December 1991 on mutual acceptance of personnel licences for the exercise of functions in civil aviation (91/670/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 84 (2) 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 the existence in sufficient numbers of cockpit personnel holding the necessary qualifications and licences is vital for the smooth and safe running of air transport services;
Whereas also the completion of the internal market by the end of 1992 requires the existence of an efficient air transport system in order to facilitate the movement of persons within the Community;
Whereas air transport is a highly dynamic and rapidly developing sector of a particularly international character; whereas, therefore, the balance between supply and demand in personnel can be maintained more efficiently at the Community than the national level;
Whereas it is therefore essential that the common transport policy in the field of civil aviation be extended to facilitate the movement of cockpit personnel within the Community;
Whereas the requirements for licences of cockpit personnel differ between Member States;
Whereas the qualifications required for licences are not at present laid down by the Community; whereas Member States therefore retain the option of fixing the level of such qualifications with a view to guaranteeing the safety of services provided by aircraft registered on their territority; whereas they may not, without infringing their obligations laid down in the Treaty, require a national of a Member State to obtain those qualifications, which in general they determine solely by reference to their own national education and training systems, where the person concerned has already acquired those qualifications in another Member State;
Whereas in order to facilitate compliance with Treaty obligations and to ensure the mobility of cockpit personnel, a Community procedure should be introduced for the acceptance of licences and qualifications of such personnel;
Whereas the recognition of private pilots' licences can already be established in all Member States;
Whereas, if in order to be permitted to operate aircraft registered in a Member State other than that where they obtained their licence, professional pilots have to be subjected to additional tests, they should be offered the possibility of sitting such tests as soon as possible;
Whereas training facilities available in Member States are not always commensurate with demand; whereas in conformity with Article 7 of the Treaty, Member States must admit nationals of other Member States to public and private training establishments and professional examinations on a non-discriminatory basis;
Whereas in order to achieve full mutual recognition of licences, the Council will adopt, taking account of progress reached in the proceedings of international organizations, before 1 January 1993, on a proposal by the Commission to be submitted before 1 July 1992, the measures for harmonized requirements in respect of licences and training programmes; whereas each Member State will recognize any licence which satisfies these requirements,
This Directive shall apply to procedures for mutual acceptance of licences issued by Member States to civil aviation cockpit personnel.
For the purposes of this Directive (a) licence means any valid document, issued by a Member State, authorizing the holder to exercise functions as a member of the cockpit personnel on board a civil aircraft registered in a Member State. This definition also includes ratings associated with the document;
(b) rating means a statement entered on a licence, or in a separate document, setting forth special conditions, privileges or limitations pertaining to such licence;
(c) acceptance of licences means any act of recognition or validation by a Member State of a licence issued by another Member State together with the privileges and certificates pertaining thereto. The acceptance, which may be effected through the issue by the Member State of a licence of its own, shall not extend beyond the period of validity of the original licence;
(d) recognition means the permission to use on an aircraft registered in one Member State a licence issued in another Member State, in accordance with the privileges pertaining thereto;
(e) validation means the express declaration by a Member State that a licence issued by another Member State can be used as one of its own;
(f) cockpit personnel means personnel holding a licence and charged with duties essential to the operation of an aircraft during flight time. This definition applies to pilots, flight navigators and flight engineers.
1. A Member State shall accept, without undue delay or additional tests, any licence issued by another Member State together with privileges and certificates pertaining thereto.
2. Any person holding a private pilot's licence issued by a Member State shall be permitted to fly aircraft registered in another Member State. This recognition shall be limited to the exercise of the privileges of the holder of a private pilot's licence and of associated aircraft ratings under visual flight rules (VFR) by day only in an aircraft certificated for single-pilot operations.
1. Article 3 (1) shall apply where a licence issued by a Member State and presented to another Member State for acceptance is based on requirements which are equivalent to those of the host Member State. In order to enable the competent authorities to assess the equivalence of licences issued by other Member States, the Commission shall make, and forward to all the Member States before 1 January 1992, a comparison of the requirements applied in each Member State for issuing licences for the same functions.
2. (a) Any Member State may ask the Commission for an opinion on the equivalence of a licence, presented to it for acceptance, within three weeks of receiving the request.
(b) The Commission must deliver an opinion within two months. The Member State concerned shall then have a month to reply to the applicant.
(c) If a Member State does not ask the Commission for an opinion, it shall be bound to reply to the applicant within three months.
(d) The periods referred to in (a), (b) and (c) above shall start to run when all the necessary information is available.
3. If, after the examination of a licence by the Member State to which it has been presented for acceptance, reasonable doubts remain as to the equivalence of the licence concerned, that Member State may, notwithstanding the principles laid down in Article 3 (1), consider that additional requirements and/or tests are necessary to enable the licence to be accepted. The licence holder, the Member State which issued the licence and the Commission shall be informed thereof in writing. The opportunity to take an additional test shall be given to the licence holder by the host Member State to which the licence is submitted for approval as soon as possible, and in any event without discrimination on grounds of nationality.
4. Where the applicant has met the additional requirements and/or has passed the required test(s) as laid down in paragraph 3 the Member State concerned shall forthwith accept the licence in question.
5. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to pilot's licences and notwithstanding paragraphs 1 to 4, a Member State shall accept any licence issued in accordance with the requirements of Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation if the bearer satisfies the special validation requirements laid down in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall ensure that nationals of other Member States are admitted to public and private training establishments and to licensing examinations and procedures on the same basis as applies to their own nationals.
When a Member State issues, for reasons of equivalence, a licence on the basis of a licence issued by a third country together with the privileges and certificates pertaining thereto, this shall be recorded in the licence. Other Member States shall not be obliged to accept any such licence.
1. After consulting the Commission, Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 June 1992. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
3. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
4. Member States shall assist one another in the implementation of this Directive and shall, if need be, exchange information on the licences they have accepted on grounds of equivalence.
5. The confidential information obtained pursuant to this Directive shall be covered by professional secrecy.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2).
(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 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. To be eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 products must meet the relevant requirements laid down in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

Whereas Article 47 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2805/93 (6), explicitly lays down that the export refund is paid only on written application; whereas, given the increasing use of computerized procedures in the various administrative fields, it is desirable to authorize the presentation of refund applications in computerized form;
Whereas computerized procedures must be reliable and meet security criteria which guarantee the correct operation of the system; whereas the security criteria should include in particular measures for checking the source of data and for securing data against the risk of unauthorized access, loss, alteration or destruction; whereas, in order to guarantee the proper use of Community funds, the Commission should periodically approve the computerized procedures introduced by Member States; whereas confirmation of the reliability of procedures may be renewed each year when circumstances so dictate;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 612/77 of 24 March 1977 laying down rules for the application of the special import arrangements in respect of certain young male bovine animals for fattening
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 425/77 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (4) (b) and 25 thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 introduced special arrangements for the importation of young male bovine animals for fattening, of a live weight of 300 kilograms or less, within the limits of an annual estimate;
Whereas the total or partial suspension of the import levy on these young male bovine animals is conditional on the production of an import licence issued within a maximum quantity to be determined each quarter and on the animals being fattened in the importing Member State for a sufficiently long period;
Whereas special measures should be laid down to ensure that these young male bovine animals are not used for other purposes ; whereas the total or partial suspension of the levy should therefore be made conditional on a declaration by the importer certifying the particular purpose and on the lodging of a security to guarantee that the animals imported under these arrangements are not slaughtered before a certain period has elapsed;
Whereas a security in the sum of the levy suspended is likely to achieve these objectives;
Whereas priority should be given to satisfying the real demand for young bovine animals for fattening in certain regions of the Community;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1173/68 of 2 August 1968 on special import terms for certain categories of young bovine animals and calves (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 699/73 (4), should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. No importer shall be entitled to total or partial suspension of the import levy under Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 unless he produces: (a) a written declaration, at the time of importation, that the young bovine animals are intended for fattening in the importing Member State for a period of 120 days from the day on which they were put into free circulation;
(b) a security in the sum of the amount suspended of the levy applicable on the day of importation;
(c) a written undertaking, made at the time of importation, to pay the additional sum specified in paragraph 5 in respect of those imported animals for which the proof referred to in paragraph 3 is not furnished.
2. The security shall be lodged, at the choice of the applicant, either in cash or in the form of a guarantee given by an institution meeting the criteria laid down by the Member State on whose territory the importation was effected.
3. Except in case of force majeure, the security shall not be released in whole or in part unless proof is furnished to the competent authorities of the importing Member State that the young bovine animal: - has not been slaughtered before the expiry of the period specified in Article 1 (a), or
- has been slaughtered before the expiry of this period for health reasons or has died as a result of sickness or accident.
The security shall be released immediately after such proof has been furnished.
4. If the proof referred to in paragraph 3 is not furnished within 180 days from the day on which the animal is put into free circulation, the security shall be forfeit and retained as a levy. (1)OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 24. (2)OJ No L 61, 5.3.1977, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 193, 3.8.1968, p. 7. (4)OJ No L 67, 14.3.1973, p. 11.
5. The additional sum shall be equal to the highest levy applicable to imports of bovine animals during the period between the day of importation and the last day on which the proof specified in paragraph 3 may be furnished, less the amount of the security which has not been released. This amount shall be paid as a levy.
1. Each animal imported under the system referred to in Article 1 shall be identified by the imposition of either: - an indelible tattoo, or
- an official or officially approved earmark on at least one of its ears.
2. The said tattoo or mark shall be so designed as to enable, where necessary, by means of a record made when the animal is put into free circulation, the date when it was put into free circulation and the identity of the importer to be established.
When determining the quantity which may be imported each quarter under Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the supply needs of certain regions of the Community may be taken into account.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission not later than the 15th day of each month the number of animals imported in the previous month, broken down according to provenance and to the weight categories referred to in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68.
Regulation (EEC) No 1173/68 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1977.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 31 January 2003
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 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 February 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 28 July 2008
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include IPBC as an active substance in Annex I thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes IPBC.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, IPBC has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) Denmark was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 29 September 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing IPBC may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include IPBC in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing IPBC can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing IPBC and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments after application of the products since unacceptable risks in these compartments have been identified during the evaluation and products intended for industrial and/or professional use should be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for industrial and/or professional users cannot be reduced by other means.
(7) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance IPBC and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(9) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing IPBC to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.
(10) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Transposition
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2009 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2010.
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.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables, the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession (1), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 75 of the Act of Accession introduces a compensatory mechanism on import into the Community of Nine, for fruit and vegetables coming from Greece for which an institutional price is fixed;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually, on the one hand, on the basis of the arithmetical average of producer prices of each Member State of 'the Community of Nine', increased by the transport and packaging costs borne by the products from the areas of production up to the representative centres of Community consumption and, on the other hand, taking into account the trend of production costs in the fruit and vegetables sector; whereas the said producer prices are to correspond to an average of the price quotations recorded over three years prior to fixing the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price may not exceed the level of the reference price applied vis-Ă -vis third countries, this Community offer price being reduced by 12 % at the time of the fourth move toward price alignment referred to in Article 59 of the Act;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal price variations, the marketing year should be split into several periods and a Community offer price fixed for each such period;
Whereas, by virtue of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81, the rates used to calculate production prices are those recorded for an indigenous product whose trade characteristics are defined, on the representative market or markets within the production zones where the rates are lowest, for the products or varieties which represent a substantial proportion of marketable production throughout the year or during a part of the year and which correspond to quality category I and to set conditions in respect of packaging; whereas the average rate for each representative market is to be drawn up disregarding rates which may be considered excessively high or low compared with the normal fluctuations recorded on the said market;
Whereas application of the abovementioned criteria results in fixing the Community offer prices for table grapes for the period 21 July to 20 November 1984 at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1984 marketing year, the Community offer price for table grapes, falling within subheading 08.04 A I of the Common Customs Tariff, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- 21 July to 31 August: 41,29
- September and October: 37,94
- November (1 to 20): 32,13
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 July 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

85/419/ECSC: Commission Decision of 24 July 1985 approving aids from the United Kingdom for the coal- mining industry during the 1984/85 financial year and approving additional aids from the United Kingdom to the coal-mining industry during the 1983/84 financial year (Only the English text is authentic)

COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 July 1985
approving aids from the United Kingdom for the coal-mining industry during the 1984/85 financial year and approving additional aids from the United Kingdom to the coal-mining industry during the 1983/84 financial year
(Only the English text is authentic)
(85/419/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the United Kingdom Government has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the above Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of the coal industry during the 1984/85 financial year (2); whereas the following of these measures may be approved pursuant to the Decision:
1.2 // // (£ million) // - aid for the recruitment and retention of skilled workers: // 15,1 // - aid to cover losses on mining: // 513,2
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
The aid for attracting and keeping skilled workers is intended to offset in part the National Coal Board's costs arising from rationalization and the transfer of production to their best pits. This results in outgoings on removals, transport, etc.,;
Whereas the United Kingdom Government is to contribute £ 15,1 million towards such costs borne by the NCB in 1984/85;
Whereas the purpose and form of the aid show that it meets the criteria set out in Article 8 of the Decision;
Whereas the aid given to cover losses on mining (£ 513,2 million) will largely cover the losses sustained by NCB pits in 1984/85. The aid is given, in principle (i.e. independently of the miners' strike) to avoid serious economic and social problems in those coalfields where there are not yet adequate re-employment opportunities and to maintain existing production capacities so as to safeguard energy supplies. The aid is therefore compatible with Article 12 of the Decision;
II
Whereas, under Article 3 (2) of the Decision, an examination of the compatibility of the abovementioned aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in the 1984/85 financial year;
Whereas aids for current production in the United Kingdom will amount to 910,8 million ECU or 18,22 ECU per tonne for the 1984/85 financial year; whereas the current production in the United Kingdom is more heavily subsidized (per tonne) than in the Federal Republic of Germany and substantially less than in France and Belgium;
Whereas an examination of the compatibility of these aids with the proper functioning of the common market requires no detailed information or investigation:
- in spite of the strike of the British miners, there were no supply difficulties on the British market in 1984/85,
- figures of deliveries of United Kingdom coal in intra-Community trade are not yet available for 1984,
- the closure of several unprofitable pits resulted in rationalization and concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest,
- industrial consumers of coal did not receive indirect aids in 1984/85 as a result of the prices of British coking coal and steam coal;
Whereas it can therefore be stated that the aids for the British coal industry for current production in the 1984/85 financial year are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this also applies when account is taken of aids to the coal industry pursuant to Decision 73/287/ECSC (1);
III
Whereas on 6 September 1984 the Commission of the European Communities adopted Decision 84/456/ECSC (2); whereas that Decision authorized the aids which the United Kingdom Government proposed to grant to the coal industry during the 1983/84 financial year provided they had been dealt with and examined by the Commission in the 'Memorandum on the financial aids granted by the Member States to the coal industry in 1983 and on the additional financial aids granted by the Member States to the coal industry in 1982' (3);
Whereas, as was stated in that memorandum, the United Kingdom Government proposed to grant £ 431 900 000 of aid under Decision No 528/76/ECSC to the British coal-mining industry;
Whereas, in addition, the United Kingdom Government in a written application dated 5 September 1984 requested permission to alter or to increase the aids originally proposed as follows:
(£ million)
1.2.3.4 // // // // // // Original amount // Additional amount // New amount // // // // // Cover for coalfields' operating losses // 415,0 // + 453,0 // 868,0 // Per tonne of production in pounds sterling // 3,57 // // 7,46 // // // //
Whereas the overall amount of aid to current production in the British coal-mining industry during the 1983/84 financial year is thus increased by £ 453 000 000. It proved necessary to double the United Kingdom aid to cover pit operating losses since these were greater in the 1983/84 coal marketing year than had been originally expected. According to the information available to the Commission on the actual position of costs and returns in 1983, the loss per tonne rose considerably more than had been estimated. The increase in aid does not completely cover the pit operating losses for 1983; this measure is thus compatible with provisions of Article 12 (1) (1) of the Decision;
IV
Whereas the following remarks must be made in respect of the compatibility of the total amount of British aids to support current production (1 492 400 000 ECU or 12,82 ECU per tonne) with the proper functioning of the common market:
- there has been no decline in trade in coal between the United Kingdom and the other Community countries,
- industrial users of coking coal and steel coal did not receive aids as a result of artificially low prices of British coal;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the additional aids proposed during the 1983/84 financial year for current production in the British coal-mining industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
V
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ascertain that aids authorized are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof; whereas the Commission must be informed in particular of the amount of these aids and the manner in which they are apportioned,
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized in respect of the 1984/85 financial year to grant aids totalling £ 528 300 000 to the British coal-mining industry.
The said aids are made up as follows:
1. Grant to cover the costs incurred by the National Coal Board in respect of relocation of personnel under the production rationalization programme, not exceeding £ 15 100 000.
2. Aid to cover losses on mining not exceeding £ 513 200 000.
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized in respect of the 1983/84 financial year to grant an additional aid to cover losses on coal-mining industry not exceeding £ 453 000 000.
The United Kingdom shall notify the Commission by 30 September 1985 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.

Regulation (EEC) No 2411/73 of the Council of 24 July 1973 on imports of citrus fruits originating in the Arab Republic of Egypt
|
REGULATION (EEC) No 2411/73 OF THE COUNCIL of 24 July 1973 on imports of citrus fruits originating in the Arab Republic of Egypt
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;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas Article 6 of Annex I to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt (hereinafter called "the Agreement") provides for tariff reductions on imports into the Community of certain citrus fruits originating in the Arab Republic of Egypt ; whereas, during the period in which the reference price applies, the reduction is subject to observance of a price fixed on the internal market of the Community ; whereas detailed rules of application must be adopted to implement the system in question;
Whereas the system proposed should form part of the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables ; whereas, therefore, account should be taken of the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (1) of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables, last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2745/72 (2), and of the provisions adopted in application of that Regulation;
This Regulation prescribes the detailed rules for applying the system of preferences provided for in Article 6 of Annex I to the Agreement for the following products originating in the Arab Republic of Egypt:
ex 08.02 A : Fresh oranges
ex 08.02 B : Mandarins and satsumas, fresh ; clementines, tangerines, and other similar citrus hybrids, fresh
ex 08.02 C : Fresh lemons.
1. In order that the conditions referred to in Article 6 (2) of Annex I to the Agreement be met, the prices on representative Community markets recorded at, or converted to, the import/wholesale stage taking into account conversion factors and deducting import charges other than customs duties - the factors and charges aforesaid being those used in calculating the entry price referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 - must, for a given product, be those calculated in due course for Class I pursuant to the first indent, second subparagraph of Article 24 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 and be equal to or higher than the price defined in Article 3.
2. The Commission shall calculate the amount to be deducted in respect of import charges other than customs duties, in so far as prices notified to the Commission by Member States include these charges, so as to avoid any difficulties arising from the effect of these charges on entry prices which may vary according to origin. Accordingly, an average mean corresponding to the arithmetical mean between the lowest and the highest charges shall be taken into account for the calculation.
The detailed rules for applying this paragraph shall be determined, as may be necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
3. The representative Community markets within the meaning of paragraph 1, are those used for recording the prices on the basis of which the entry price referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is calculated.
The price referred to in Article 2 (1) shall be equal to the reference price in force for that period plus the (1)OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 291, 25.12.1972, p. 147.
Common Customs Tariff charge thereon and a fixed charge of 120 units of account per 100 kg.
Where the prices reffered to in Article 2 (1) in respect of one of the products listed in Article 1, after taking into account the conversion factors and deducting import charges other than customs duties, remain lower on the lowest priced representative Community markets than the price laid down in Article 3 for three consecutive market days, the Common Customs Tariff duty in force at the date of importation shall apply to that product.
This arrangement shall continue to apply until these prices on the lowest priced representative Community markets are found to be for three consecutive market days equal to or higher than the price laid down in Article 3.
The Commission, on the basis of prices recorded on representative Community markets and notified by Member States, shall follow price trends regularly and record them in accordance with Article 4.
The measures required for this purpose shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for applying compensatory charges to fruit and vegetables.
Articles 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall remain in force.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the date of the entry into force of the Agreement until such time as the Agreement shall cease to have effect.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (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 2908/2000(2), and in particular Articles 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue whch is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.
(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.
(6) Thiamylal and thiopental sodium should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(7) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/37/EC(4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 is hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 60th day following its publication.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, the compensatory aid is calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income and the average production income from bananas produced and marketed in the Community during the year in question; whereas supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where average income from production is significantly lower than the average for the Community;
(3) Whereas Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 fixes the flat-rate reference income at EUR 62,25 per 100 kilograms net weight of green bananas ex-packing shed for the aid to be calculated in respect of 1998;
(4) Whereas the prices for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 1998 were such that the average price for delivery at the first port of unloading in the rest of the Community, less the average costs of transport and delivery fob, is less than the flat-rate reference income fixed for 1998; whereas the compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 1998 should be fixed accordingly;
(5) Whereas the annual average production income from the marketing of bananas produced in Portugal has proved to be significantly lower than the Community average during 1998; whereas, as a result, supplementary aid should be granted to the producer regions in Portugal pursuant to Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93; whereas, in accordance with the Commission's undertaking when the Council adopted decisions concerning various agricultural products for the 1998/99 marketing year, that supplementary aid must cover 75 % of the difference between the average income recorded in those regions and the average for the Community;
(6) Whereas the Commission also undertook to increase the unit value of the advances on the compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 1998; whereas the unit value of the advances to be granted on the compensatory aid for 1999 should also be adapted, in view of the undertkaing to review the flat-rate reference income when the compensatory aid is fixed for bananas marketed from 1999 on;
(7) Whereas, given the lack of all the data necessary, it has not hitherto been possible to determine the compensatory aid for 1998; whereas provision should be made for the balance of the aid to be paid within two months of the publication of this Regulation; whereas, in view of the latter points, provision should be made for this Regulation to enter into force on the day following its publication;
(8) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
1. The compensatory aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for fresh bananas falling within CN code ex0803, excluding plantains, produced and marketed in the Community in 1998 shall be equal to EUR 24,42 per 100 kilograms.
2. The aid fixed in paragraph 1 shall be increased by EUR 3,19 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in producer regions in Portugal.
Notwithstanding Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the unit value of advances for bananas marketed from January to October 1999 shall be equal to EUR 18,34 per 100 kilograms. The relevant security shall be EUR 9,17 per 100 kilograms.
Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the competent authorities of the Member States shall pay the balance of the compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 1998 within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 188(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 416/2014 (2) has opened tariff quotas for the import of certain cereals originating in Ukraine.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1920/92 of 10 July 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 with regard to granting aid for rice production in French Guiana
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 introduces a flat-rate aid per hectare for rice production in French Guiana during the marketing years 1991-92 to 1995-96; whereas it also lays down that the amount of the aid is to be fixed with particular reference to soil preparation costs;
Whereas, in order to meet the objective of developing rice growing in French Guiana, the aid must be paid in respect of areas sown and harvested; whereas in this connection it is reasonable to assume that any sown areas for which the normal cultivation work has been carried out will be harvested;
Whereas rice growing in the overseas department in question is conditional on substantial soil prepartion and improvement work being carried out beforehand, in particular as regards removal of peat and excess soil; whereas the scale of this work depends on natural conditions and the topography of the Guianese coastal region; whereas, pursuant to the aforementioned provision of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, the areas to be sown to rice should be classified on the basis of the scale of the work to be carried out and the amount of the production aid should vary in line with that classification;
Whereas the amount of the aid should be calculated on the basis of the actual costs of reclaiming the areas determined under the programme to be drawn up at regional level; whereas, consequently, the competent French authorities should be authorized to make the payment of the aid as and when the land is reclaimed;
Whereas the configuration of the areas to be put to rice, particularly the homogeneity and continuity of the plots, and the small number of holdings, make it possible to envisage inspection by the competent authorities of all the reclaimed areas;
Whereas provision should be made, on the one hand, for measures to discourage inaccurate declarations and, on the other, for eligibility to the aid to be maintained in cases of force majeure or natural disaster;
Whereas the time when the economic objective of the measure is realised is the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate; whereas the objective in question is attained at the time of harvest; whereas, however, in view of the difficulty of determining the date of the harvest in each case, the date to be considered as the representative date for the harvest should be the first day of the marketing year preceding the declaration which constitutes the aid application;
Whereas, in view of the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, this Regulation should apply with effect from 1 January 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Rice,
Flat-rate aid per hectare for rice production in French Guiana, as provided for in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, shall be granted in accordance with this Regulation.
The aid shall be granted per hectare of land sown and harvested. Land shall be considered as such if normal field work has been carried out on it with a view to production and the rice grown on it reached the ripening stage.
For the purposes of this aid scheme, the areas sown and tilled shall be classified into the following categories on the basis of the cropping conditions and particularly the scale of the soil preparation work:
(a) Category 1: Areas requiring very extensive work for the growing of rice on account particularly of the thickness of the layer of peat unsuitable for cultivation (thickness exceeding 1 metre);
(b) Category 2: Areas requiring extensive soil preparation work (thickness of top layer between 0,3 and 1 metre);
(c) Category 3: Areas not requiring extensive work (thickness of layer less than 0,3 metre).
The amount of the aid shall be fixed for rice grown on the areas in:
(a) Category 1 at: ECU 1 052/ha;
(b) Category 2 at: ECU 715/ha;
(c) Category 3 at: ECU 348/ha.
Without prejudice to Article 6 (2), the amount of the aid shall be paid once only during the 1991/92 to 1995/96 marketing years for any one area under cultivation.
1. Rice growers wishing to benefit from the aid shall submit each year, before a date be determined by the competent authorities, a declaration of the areas sown and harvested in respect of which the aid is applied for containing at least the infomation mentioned in paragraph 2. This declaration shall constitute an application for aid.
2. The declaration shall contain:
(a) in respect of the grower:
- name and forename,
- mailing address;
(b) in respect of the areas:
- the total area of the land sown to rice and tilled,
- a breakdown of that area by the categories defined in Article 3,
- an accurate identification of those areas by means of a cadestral reference or a geographical reference in geographical documents approved by the competent national authorities,
- where the area is not sown or tilled in its entirety, identification by means of a sketch map showing the location of the plots actually under rice.
1. The aid shall be paid prior to 31 December following the submission of the declaration referred to in Article 5.
2. The Member State concerned shall be authorized to make provision for the payment of the amount of the aid as determined under Article 4 in accordance with a timetable to be drawn up on the basis of a forecast of the areas to be reclaimed during the 1991/92 to 1995/96 marketing years in accordance with the table set out in the Annex.
Where the rice has not reached its ripening stage, the national competent authorities may decide that cases of force majeure or natural disasters have substantially affected the area cultivated by the declarant and justify that entitlement to the aid be maintained.
The cases of force majeure invoked or the natural disasters shall be reported to the competent authority of the Member State concerned within five days of their occurence. Proof thereof shall be furnished within one month of the said reporting.
The Member State concerned shall inform the Commission forthwith of the cases it recognizes as cases of force majeure or of the natural disasters likely to justify the maintenance of eligibility to the aid.
The conversion rate to be used for the payment of the aid shall be the agricultural conversion rate in force on 1 September preceding the submission of the declaration referred to in Article 5.
1. The competent authorities of the Member State concerned shall take appropriate measures to verify the accuracy of the applications and their compliance with Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 and with this Regulation. They shall at regular intervals carry out administrative checks and the necessary on-the-spot inspections.
2. Checks shall realte to all the areas which were the subject of a declaration as provided for in Article 5.
3. Where checks give rise to serious doubt as to the accuracy of a declaration or as to compliance with the Community provisions payments shall not, except in obvious cases of clerical error, be made until an on-the-spot inspection has established the accuracy of the application or the compliance as mentioned.
4. Where it is etablished that more than 5 % of the areas which were the subject of a declaration do not fulfil the conditions required for the grant of the aid the grower shall forego entitlement to the aid, and the national authorities shall inform the Commission of such cases.
0
Where aid has been wrongly paid, the competent authorities shall proceed to recuperate the amounts paid plus interest running from the date of actual payment of the aid to the date of actual recovery. The interest rate applied shall be that in force under national law for similar recovery operations. The aid recovered shall be paid to the paying bodies or agencies and deducted by the latter from expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.
1
France shall take the necessary administrative steps to ensure the correct application of this Regulation. It shall communicate these to the Commission within three months of the entry in force of this Regulation.
2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 615/2004
of 1 April 2004
repealing Regulations (EC) No 8/2004, (EC) No 9/2004 and (EC) No 10/2004 suspending the preferential customs duties and re-establishing the Common Customs Tariff duty on imports of large-flowered roses, small-flowered roses and uniflorous (bloom) carnations, respectively, originating in Israel
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West Bank and Gaza Strip(1), and in particular Article 5(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following Council Decision 2003/917/EC of 22 December 2003 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 to the EC-Israel Association Agreement(2), since 1 January 2004 it is no longer necessary to fix minimum entry prices for roses and carnations imported from Israel, since all imports inside the tariff quota are subject to preferential customs duties.
(2) However, entry prices were nevertheless calculated for these products and adopted in Commission Regulation (EC) No 8/2004(3) in the case of large-flowered roses, Commission Regulation (EC) No 9/2004(4) in the case of small-flowered roses, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 10/2004(5) in the case of uniflorous (bloom) carnations.
(3) It is therefore necessary to re-establish the preferential customs duties introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95(6).
(4) Regulations (EC) No 8/2004, (EC) No 9/2004 and (EC) No 10/2004 should therefore be repealed with effect from their date of entry into force, since the customs duties collected under those Regulations can be reimbursed under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(7) and 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(8).
(5) The Commission must take these measures in between the meetings of the Management Committee for Live Plants,
Regulations (EC) No 8/2004, (EC) No 9/2004 and (EC) No 10/2004 are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 2 April 2004.
It shall apply from 7 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
