COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 172/2006

fixing the corrective amount applicable to the refund on malt
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 15(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which 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.

90/444/ECSC: Commission Decision of 18 July 1990 authorizing Spain to exclude from Community treatment, for a limited period, coal of third country origin imported after having been put into free circulation in another Member State (Only the Spanish text is authentic)

COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 July 1990
authorizing Spain to exclude from Community treatment, for a limited period, coal of third country origin imported after having been put into free circulation in another Member State
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(90/444/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 71 thereof,
Whereas in 1987, 1988 und 1989 the Spanish Government sent the Commission applications to exclude from Community treatment coal of third country origin which is imported after being put into free circulation in another Member State;
Whereas the Commission granted the relevant authorization to the Spanish Government by applying the provisions relating to mutual assistance, but for a limited period on each occasion. An authorization of this type for 1989 expired on 31 December 1989;
Whereas by letter of 27 November 1989 the Spanish Government made another application to extend its restrictive measures on coal of third country origin to include coal in free circulation in another Member State. This application requested authorization of unlimited duration;
Whereas current Spanish law allows limited quantities of coal of third country origin to be imported at a zero rate of duty. For coal other than anthracite the duty-free quota for 1990 would be increased to 12 million tonnes. The duty-free import quota for anthracite would remain limited at 12 000 tonnes;
Whereas imports in excess of the zero-duty quota attract duty of up to 14 %;
Whereas in principle, Article 71 of the Treaty leaves the Governments of the Member States their powers in matters of commercial policy. National rules remain therefore applicable as regards direct imports from non-member countries. However, Member States shall afford each other such mutual assistance as is necessary to implement measures recognized by the Commission as being in accordance with the Treaty and with existing international agreements;
Whereas under the provisions of the Treaty the principle of free movement applies equally to products in free circulation in a Member State;
Whereas where differences in commercial policy between Member States call for measures waiving the principle of the free movement of goods within the Community, such measures may be authorized only in exceptional circumstances and for a limited period, given the fundamental importance of the principle of free movement;
Whereas according to the notification from the Spanish Government, the commercial policy measures on coal are intended to protect Spanish collieries, which are in a difficult economic situation as a result of competition from coal of third country origin, and to increase their productivity;
Whereas to ease the difficulties affecting the coal industry, the Community has created instruments to support improvements in the competitiveness of the industry, thus helping to ensure better security of supply and to solve the social and regional problems related to the changes in the coal industry;
Whereas this was the objective of Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC (1), establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry; this regime creates the favourable conditions required for the Community coal industry to adapt to the realities of the energy market;
Whereas the abovementioned measures permit the abandonment of market protection and the abolition of controls at internal Community frontiers;
Whereas a withdrawal of the protective measures for coal originating in third countries and imported after having been put into free circulation in another Member State could however, without a period of transition, give rise to difficult problems of adaptation in the short term, for both economic and administrative reasons;
Whereas it therefore seems advisable to authorize the Spanish Government to apply, on a temporary basis, the measures set out above;
Whereas in order that the Commission may carry out a final assessment of the issue, the Spanish Government should be asked to send the Commission a report on the implementation of these policy measures,
Spain is hereby authorized to apply to coal of third country origin imported after having been put into free circulation in another Member State, imports of which exceed the zero-duty quota of 12 000 tonnes for anthracite or 12 million tonnes for coal other than anthracite, a customs duty of up to 14 %.
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 1990.
Spain shall, before 31 December 1990, send the Commission a report on the implementation of the measure referred to in Article 1.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

COMMISSION DECISION of 31 March 1981 authorizing the French Republic to restrict the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species (Only the French text is authentic) (81/277/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the French Republic,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seeds and propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1978 in one or more Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31. December 1980, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) thereof provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the French Republic has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas Commission Decisions 80/127/EEC of 28 December 1979 (3) and 80/1360/EEC of 30 December 1980 (4) extended the period provided for in the said Article 15 (1) for the majority of these varieties for the French Republic from 31 December 1980 to 31 March 1981;
Whereas the Commission has meanwhile completed its examination of the French application in respect of these varieties;
Whereas the varieties listed in Article 1 hereof have not been the subject of growing trials in the French Republic in view of the French application;
Whereas it is well known that in reason of their form (rhythm of developments), the concerned varieties are not yet suitable for cultivation in the French Republic (Article 15 (3) (c) second case of the said Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the application of the French Republic in respect of these varieties should be granted in full;
Whereas other varieties are no longer included in the French application;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture ; Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following varieties listed in the 1981 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
Fodder plants
Trifolium pratense L.
Aled
Astra
Britta
Gollum
Grasslands Pawera
Palna
Triton
The authorization under Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions are no longer satisfied.
The French Republic shall notify the Commission of the date from which it makes use of the authorization (1) OJ No L 225, 12.10.1970, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 341, 16.12.1980, p. 27. (3) OJ No L 29, 6.2.1980, p. 33. (4) OJ No L 384, 31.12.1980, p. 44. under Article 1 and the detailed methods to be followed. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular points (1) and (4) of Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part 1 of Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) sets out a list of third countries and parts of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import fresh meat of animals as defined in that Decision.
(2) Under that Decision, parts of the territory of Botswana are authorised for imports into the Community of deboned and matured meat from domestic bovine animals, sheep, goats and wild or farmed non-domestic animals other than suidae and solipeds.
(3) However an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Botswana within the territory of BW-1 was reported by the veterinary authorities of Botswana to the Commission. The first clinical signs of that disease were seen by the veterinary authorities on 20 April 2006 and they took immediate and appropriate control measures in the affected zone, including suspending the movement of susceptible animals and their products within and out of the zone and closing down two export establishments approved for imports into the Community.
(4) In order to take into account those measures introduced by Botswana, the list of authorised third countries and parts thereof, as set out out in Part I of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC, should be amended. Accordingly imports from Botswana into the Community of consignments of deboned and matured meat from domestic animals and farmed game slaughtered or wild game hunted prior to 20 April 2006 originating from the territory of BW-1 should be indicated as authorised. However, all consignments of such meat from such animals slaughtered or hunted on or after that date originating from that territory should be indicated as not authorised.
(5) Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) This Decision is to be reviewed in the light of information obtained from Botswana.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) In the 1960s, due to increased threats from introduction of exotic strains of FMD into Europe, the member countries of the EUFMD were called to establish a Trust Fund aimed at emergency measures to be carried out in the Balkans, the main entrance route of the disease. Later that fund was divided into Trust Fund 911100MTF/003/EEC supported by those member countries that were at the same time Member States of the Community and Trust Fund 909700MTF/004/MUL supported by member countries of EUFMD which at that time were not or are not Member States of the Community.
(3) In accordance with Article 4 of Council Directive 90/423/EEC of 26 June 1990 amending Directive 85/511/EEC introducing Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease, Directive 64/432/EEC on animal health problems affecting intra- Community trade in bovine animals and swine and Directive 72/462/EEC on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat or meat products from third countries (2), prophylactic vaccination against FMD ceased throughout the Community in 1991.
(4) At the same time Decision 90/424/EEC specifically provided for the possibility to support measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease in third countries, in particular with the view to protect areas at risk within the Community.
(5) By adopting Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (3) the Member States reconfirmed the prohibition of prophylactic vaccination while extending the possibility for the use of emergency vaccination against FMD.
(6) A number of outbreaks of FMD reported since 1992 in particular in parts of the Community adjacent to endemically infected countries and a major epidemic in certain Member States in 2001 are calling for a high level of disease awareness and preparedness, including international cooperation.
(7) Moreover, in countries neighbouring the Member States outbreaks and in some cases severe epidemics have been recorded during the last years which are liable to threaten the health status of Community susceptible livestock.
(8) In the light of the emergence of new virus topotypes and regional deterioration of control measures, the Community, in close cooperation with the EUFMD and by using the Trust Fund 911100MTF/003/EEC, supported emergency vaccination campaigns in Turkey and in Transcaucasia.
(9) In accordance with Commission Decision 2001/300/EC of 30 March 2001 on Community cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organisation with particular regard to activities carried out by the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (4) the Commission concluded the ‘Implementing Agreement MTF/INT/003/EEC911100 (TFEU970089129) on EC Funded Permanent Activities carried out by the FAO European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-mouth Disease’ which was successfully operated until 31 December 2004.
(10) The European Community and the United Nations signed on 29 November 2003 a new Financial and Administrative Framework Agreement, which provided the enabling environment for the Agreement between the Commission of the European Communities and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, signed on 17 July 2003.
(11) It appears appropriate to renew the Implementing Agreement between the two international organisations and, taking into account the enlarged Community, fix the Community contribution to the Trust Fund 911100MTF/INT/003/EEC at a maximum level of EUR 4.5 million for a period of four years. The budget of the Trust Fund for 2005 should be made up of the final balance of its funds on 25 January 2005 and a Community contribution to bring the amount to an equivalent in USD of EUR 2 million. Subsequently expenditure should be replenished by annual transfers.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The balance of Trust Fund 911100MTF/INT/003/EEC (TFEU 970089129) shall be struck at USD 55 284 as laid down in the final report adopted by the 71st Session of the Executive Committee of the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-mouth Disease (EUFMD) on 25 January 2005 in Rome.
2. As from 1 January 2005 the financial obligation of the Community to the Fund referred to in paragraph 1 shall be set at a maximum of EUR 4 500 000 for a period of four years.
3. The first instalment of the amount referred to in paragraph 2 for the year 2005 shall be made up of:
(a) the balance referred to in paragraph 1, and
(b) a Community contribution of the amount necessary to bring the total to an equivalent in USD of EUR 2 000 000.
4. Expenditure incurred by the Trust Fund during the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 shall be replenished by annual Community contributions payable in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. However, these transfers shall be subject to the existence of available funds in the Budget of the Commission.
5. The annual Community contributions referred to in paragraph 4 shall be based on the financial report produced by the EUFMD to either the annual Session of the Executive Committee or the biannual General Session of EUFMD, supported by detailed documentation in accordance with the rules of the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
1. An Implementing Agreement on the use and operation of the Trust Fund 911100MTF/INT/003/EEC (TFEU 970089129) shall be concluded between the Commission of the European Communities and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations Organisation for the period of four years, starting on 1 January 2005.
2. The Trust Fund referred to in Article 1 shall be operated in agreement between the Commission and the EUFMD in accordance with the Implementing Agreement referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Additional Protocol (1) to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (2), concluded consequent on the accession of Spain and Portugal, provides that Yugoslavia is to limit its exports to the Community of sour cherries, referred to in the Additional Protocol as 'morello cherries', fresh or chilled; whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3), chilled cherries are to be classified under the same heading as fresh cherries;
Whereas, in order to ensure that these provisions are properly applied, imports of sour cherries, fresh, originating in Yugoslavia should be subject to a system of import licences, the issue of which should be suspended as soon as the volume of imports for which licences have been requested exceeds 3 000 tonnes in any given calendar year;
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 145 and 282 of the Act of Accession, Spain and Portugal are authorized to postpone the application of import preferences granted by the Community to certain third countries; whereas, in order to avoid the risk of deflections of trade, the system of import licences should be extended to include sour cherries, fresh, originating in Yugoslavia, released for free circulation in Spain or Portugal and subsequently re-exported to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985,
1. Imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Community of Ten', of sour cherries, fresh, falling within CN codes ex 0809 20 10 or ex 0809 20 90 and originating in Yugoslavia shall be subject to production of an import licence which shall be issued by the Member States concerned to any applicant for such a licence irrespective of the place of his establishment in the Community.
Such licences shall be valid throughout the Community of Ten.
2. The issue of an import licence shall be conditional on the lodging of a deposit guaranteeing that import will be effected during the period of vadlidity of the licence; except in cases of force majeure, the deposit shall be forfeit in whole or in part if the transaction is not effected, or is only partially effected, within that period.
3. Sour cherries, fresh, originating in Yugoslavia and released for free circulation in Spain or Portugal shall be subject to the system of import licences where they are subsequently re-exported to the Community of Ten.
The Commission shall suspend the issue of import licences for sour cherries referred to in Article 1 as soon as the volume of imports reaches 3 000 tonnes in any given calendar year.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, including in particular the necessary communications from the Member States, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1113/88 (2).
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 the date on which the Additional Protocol enters into force.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 as regards the period of application of the transitional measures concerning the conditions for exempting certain animals from the exit ban provided for in Council Directive 2000/75/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(c), Articles 11 and 12 and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 of 26 October 2007 on implementing rules for Council Directive 2000/75/EC as regards the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of certain animals of susceptible species in relation to bluetongue (2) lays down rules for the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of animals, in relation to bluetongue, in and from the restricted zones.
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 lays down conditions for exemption from the exit ban provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC. Article 8(1) of that Regulation provides that movements of animals, their semen, ova and embryos, from a holding or semen collection or storage centre located in a restricted zone to another holding or semen collection or storage centre are to be exempted from that exit ban provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Annex III to that Regulation or with any other appropriate animal health guarantees based on a positive outcome of a risk assessment of measures against the spread of the bluetongue virus and protection against attacks by vectors, required by the competent authority of the place of origin and approved by the competent authority of the place of destination, prior to the movement of such animals.
(3) Article 9(a)(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 provides that, as a transitional measure and by way of derogation from the conditions set out in Annex III to that Regulation, Member States of destination may require that the movement of certain animals which are covered by the exemption, provided for in Article 8(1) thereof, be subjected to additional conditions, on the basis of a risk assessment taking into account the entomological and epidemiological conditions in which animals are being introduced. Those additional conditions specify that the animals must be less than 90 days old, they must have been kept since birth in vector protected confinement and they must have been subject to certain tests referred to in Annex III to that Regulation.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1142/2010 (3), prolonged the period of application of the transitional measures provided for in Article 9(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 for another 6 months, until 30 June 2011. At the time of adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1142/2010, it was expected that new rules on criteria for vector protected establishments would have been laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 and that those transitional measures would therefore no longer be necessary. However, those planned amendments to Annex III to that Regulation have not yet been made.
(5) Accordingly, it is necessary to prolong the period of application of the transitional measures provided for in Article 9(a)(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 for another year, pending the adoption of the amendments to Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 on vector protected establishments.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In the introductory phrase of Article 9a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007, the date ‘30 June 2011’ is replaced by ‘30 June 2012’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1892/87 of 2 July 1987 on the recording of market prices in the beef and veal sector (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas the recording of market prices in the Member States in accordance with the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3310/86 (4) has become a regular practice which no longer raises problems of organization; whereas, with a view to using such data more quickly and facilitating in particular the application of the intervention measures provided for in Article 6 of abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the time limit for forwarding the prices to the Commissions should be shortened;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 3 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic (1), signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, stipulates that pending the establishment of common rules for the importation of tomatoes that have been prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid of subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff, the duties on imports into the Community of these products originating in Portugal shall be reduced by 30 % in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 6, provided that the conditions agreed upon in the exchange of letters are observed ; whereas, in accordance with the second paragraph of the said Article 3, upon the establishment of common importation rules, the Community shall grant Portugal advantages comparable to those resulting from the arrangements referred to above;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1927/75 (2) of 22 July 1975 concerning the system of trade with third countries in the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables provides for the establishment of common importation rules as from 1 September 1975 ; whereas the said tariff reduction should therefore be applied under the abovementioned conditions as from that date,
The duties on imports into the Community of tomatoes that have been prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid of subheading 20.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff and which originates in and come from Portugal shall be reduced by 30 % as from 1 September 1975, provided that the conditions laid down in the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters of 19 February 1975 relating to Article 3 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic (3) or in subsequent exchanges of letters as regards the voluntary restraint on quantities are observed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1975.

of 11 March 2015
on the measures that the Union may take following a report adopted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters
(codification)
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 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 1515/2001 (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality, that Regulation should be codified.
(2) By Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (5), common rules were laid down for protection against dumped imports from countries which are not members of the European Union.
(3) By Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 (6), common rules were laid down for protection against subsidised imports from countries which are not members of the European Union.
(4) Under the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation (‘WTO’), an Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (‘DSU’) was reached. Pursuant to the DSU, the Dispute Settlement Body (‘DSB’) was established.
(5) With a view to permitting the Union, where it considers this appropriate, to bring a measure taken under Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 or Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 into conformity with the recommendations and rulings contained in a report adopted by the DSB, specific provisions should be laid down.
(6) The Commission may consider it appropriate to repeal, amend or adopt any other special measures with respect to measures taken under Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 or Regulation (EC) No 597/2009, including measures which have not been the subject of dispute settlement under the DSU, in order to take account of the legal interpretations made in a report adopted by the DSB. In addition, the Commission should be able, where appropriate, to suspend or review such measures.
(7) Recourse to the DSU is not subject to time limits. The recommendations in reports adopted by the DSB only have prospective effect. Consequently, it is appropriate to specify that any measures taken under this Regulation will take effect from the date of their entry into force, unless otherwise specified, and, therefore, do not provide any basis for the reimbursement of the duties collected prior to that date.
(8) The implementation of this Regulation requires uniform conditions for adopting measures following a report adopted by the DSB concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters. Those measures should be adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).
(9) The advisory procedure should be used for the suspension of measures for a limited period of time given the effects of such measures,
1. Whenever the DSB adopts a report concerning a Union measure taken pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 or to this Regulation (‘disputed measure’), the Commission may take one or more of the following measures, whichever it considers appropriate, in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 4(3):
(a) repeal or amend the disputed measure; or
(b) adopt any other special implementing measure deemed to be appropriate in the circumstances in order to bring the Union into conformity with the recommendations and rulings contained in the report.
2. For the purpose of taking a measure under paragraph 1, the Commission may request interested parties to provide all necessary information in order to complete the information obtained during the investigation that resulted in the adoption of the disputed measure.
3. Insofar as it is appropriate to conduct a review before or at the same time as taking any measure under paragraph 1, that review shall be initiated by the Commission. The Commission shall provide information to the Member States once it decides to initiate a review.
4. Insofar as it is appropriate to suspend the disputed or amended measure, such suspension shall be granted for a limited period of time by the Commission, acting in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 4(2).
1. The Commission may also take any of the measures mentioned in Article 1(1) in order to take into account the legal interpretations made in a report adopted by the DSB with regard to a non-disputed measure, if it considers this appropriate.
2. For the purpose of taking a measure under paragraph 1, the Commission may request interested parties to provide all necessary information in order to complete the information obtained during the investigation that resulted in the adoption of the non-disputed measure.
3. Insofar as it is appropriate to conduct a review before or at the same time as taking any measure under paragraph 1, that review shall be initiated by the Commission. The Commission shall provide information to the Member States once it decides to initiate a review.
4. Insofar as it is appropriate to suspend the non-disputed or amended measure, that suspension shall be granted for a limited period of time by the Commission, acting in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 4(2).
Any measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation shall take effect from the date of their entry into force and shall not serve as a basis for the reimbursement of the duties collected prior to that date, unless otherwise provided for.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009. That Committee shall be a committee within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.
3. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.
The Commission shall include information on the implementation of this Regulation in its annual report on the application and implementation of trade defence measures presented to the European Parliament and to the Council pursuant to Article 22a of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
Regulation (EC) No 1515/2001 is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 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 47/2003(2), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1913/2003(3) opens an invitation to tender setting the indicative refund rates and indicative quantities for system A3 export licences, which may be issued, other than those tendered for as part of food aid.
(2) In the light of the tenders submitted, the maximum refund rates and the percentages of quantities to be awarded for tenders quoting those maximum rates should be set.
(3) In the case of table grapes, oranges and lemons, the maximum rate necessary to award licences for the indicative quantity up to the quantities tendered for is not more than one-and-a-half times the indicative refund rate.
(4) In the case of tomatoes and table grapes, the asked refund rates are considerably higher than the indicative refund rate and, therefore, all tenders shall be rejected by fixing a zero maximum rate,
In the case of tomatoes, oranges, lemons and table grapes, the maximum refund rates and the percentages for reducing the quantities awarded under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 1913/2003 shall be fixed in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 November 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 December 2008
concerning the non-inclusion of antraquinone in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2008) 8133)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/986/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes antraquinone.
(3) For antraquinone the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For antraquinone the rapporteur Member State was Belgium and all relevant information was submitted in September 2006.
(4) The Commission examined antraquinone in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, taking into account comments received from Member States, it was concluded that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular the crucial missing data does not allow to set reliable acceptable daily intake (ADI), acute reference dose (ARfD) and acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL) and such values are necessary to conduct the risk assessment. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member State in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of antraquinone and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing antraquinone satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Antraquinone should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing antraquinone are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing antraquinone should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing antraquinone remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for antraquinone in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Antraquinone shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing antraquinone are withdrawn by 15 June 2009;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing antraquinone are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 15 June 2010 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1962/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1170/94 (4), established the forecast supply balance for glucose for the Canary Islands for the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas, pending additional information to be provided by the competent authorities and in order to ensure the continuity of the specific supply arrangements, the balance provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 should be adopted for a limited period of three months, on the basis of the quantities determined for the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas, accordingly, the forecast supply balance for glucose for the months of July, August and September 1994 should be established;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1962/92 is hereby replaced by the following:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 7(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 1 June 2004, Monsanto Europe S.A., submitted to the competent authorities of The United Kingdom an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from NK603xMON810 maize (‘the application’).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of other products containing or consisting of NK603xMON810 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with the provision of Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(3) On 31 March 2006, the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) gave favourable opinions in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from NK603xMON810 maize as described in the application (‘the products’) will have adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment (3). In its opinion, EFSA concluded that it was acceptable to use the data for the single events in support of the safety of the products and considered all specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.
(4) In October 2006, upon request of the Commission, EFSA published detailed clarifications on how the comments of the competent authorities of the Member States had been taken into account in its opinion. It also published further information on the different elements considered by the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of EFSA and the reason why some specific additional studies such as a 90-day toxicology study in rats were not considered as necessary.
(5) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plans, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.
(6) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.
(7) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(8) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 appear to be necessary for the foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting, or produced from NK603xMON810 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of authorisation provided by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and other products than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(9) Similarly, the EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Articles 6(5) and 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(10) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(11) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements for products consisting or containing GMOs.
(12) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (6).
(13) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman; the Commission has therefore submitted a proposal to the Council on 12 July 2007 in accordance with Article 5 of the Council Decision 1999/468/EC (7), the Council being required to act within three months.
(14) However, the Council has not acted within the required time-limit; a Decision should be adopted by the Commission,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) NK603xMON810 produced by crosses between maize containing MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 and MON-ØØ81Ø-6 events, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier MON-ØØ6Ø3-6xMON-ØØ81Ø-6, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
Authorisation

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 21 February 1983, 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 'Plessey-Viz - Radiosonde, model 1393', ordered on 20 January 1982 and intended to be used for the ascertainment of the altitude-related pressure, temperature and humidity profiles for the purpose of determining atmospheric transport phenomena, 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 6 July 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 a radiosonde; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the emission frequency 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 'Plessey-Viz - Radiosonde, model 1393', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 21 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2347/87 of 23 July 1987 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on mechanical wrist-watches originating in the USSR
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2347/87
of 23 July 1987
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on mechanical wrist-watches originating in the USSR
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1882/82 (2) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on mechanical wrist-watches originating in the USSR.
(2) Following the imposition of these measures the complainant, Timex Corporation, Dundee, lodged an application with the Court of Justice of the European Communities pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 173 of the Treaty for partial annulment of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1882/82.
The Court, in its judgment in Case 264/82 (2), declared the Article in question to be void and ordered the anti-dumping duty imposed by that provision to be maintained until the competent institutions adopt the measures needed to comply with its judgment.
(3) In compliance with this judgment, the Commission, as the competent institution, considered, together with Timex, the most appropriate procedure to be undertaken. In view of the time which had elapsed since the original investigation and the change in circumstances which had occurred particularly regarding the producers of mechanical wrist-watches in the chosen analogous market, Hong Kong, it was considered that the proceeding should be reopened and an investigation commenced at Community level. Accordingly, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain mechanical wrist-watches falling within heading No ex 91.01 of the Common Customs Tariff corresponding to NIMEXE codes ex 91.01-37 and 57 and originating in the USSR.
(4) The Commission officially advised both the exporters and the importers known to be concerned and the Community producers, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The principal Community producer, Timex, which accounts for a major proportion of Community output of the product in question, made its views known both in writing and orally and requested and received the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend definitive action. The USSR exporter did not cooperate in the investigation.
(5) In order to verify the export prices to the Community of the product in question and the extent of injury caused to the Community industry, the Commission carried out an inspection at the premises of the principal importer concerned, Global Watches Ltd, and of the principal Community producer, Timex Corporation.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from January to October 1985 inclusive.
B. Normal value
(7) In order to establish whether products originating in the USSR were being imported at dumped prices, the Commission had to take into account the fact that the USSR does not operate a market economy. In such circumstances the normal value for the product in question must ordinarily be determined on the basis of the prices charged for, or the constructed value of, the like product in a market economy third country.
(8) In the original investigation the analogous market chosen by the Commission was Hong Kong.
However, in both the previous and present proceedings, Timex contended that the prices of Swiss mechanical wrist-watches would be the most appropriate basis for establishing normal value. Timex's current contention was based mainly on the assertions that the use of any data regarding watches produced in Hong Kong would raise problems of reliability and that the type of manufacturing operation of the Swiss producers would provide the basis of a fairer comparison than those of Hong Kong.
(9) Having visited the premises of three of the largest producers of mechanical watches in Hong Kong, Kaybee International Ltd, Foremost Trading Company and Swiss Watch and Jewellery Manufacturing Company, the Commission was satisfied on the question of the reliability of the information obtained. As regards the nature of the manufacturing or assembly operations in Hong Kong, the Commission continued to be of the view that, while the structure of the manufacturing process in the country in question is a criterion in the choice of analogous market, it is not necessarily determinative. In any event, it was not demonstrated that buying parts or sub-assemblies from an outside firm (as is the case in Hong Kong) rather than producing them internally (as is allegedly the case in the USSR) materially influences the final selling price. Furthermore, the Swiss industry, advanced by Timex as a more appropriate analogue for establishing normal value, operates (as is the case with Hong Kong) on the basis of buying parts and sub-assemblies.
Accordingly, in the absence of satisfactory alternatives to either Hong Kong or Switzerland, the Commission saw no reason to alter its opinion, as based on the grounds set out in Regulation (EEC) No 84/82 (1) which imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of the product concerned and confirmed in Regulation (EEC) No 1882/82, that normal value based on the choice of Hong Kong as an analogous market was determined in an appropriate and not unreasonable manner and thus in accordance with Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. Accordingly, normal value was therefore established on the basis of the price at which watches, comparable to those exported to the Community from the USSR, were actually sold by producers in Hong Kong. Following submission by the Commission to the interested parties of details of watches which were considered comparable, no objection was received on the comparability of these watches.
(10) Since the three Hong Kong companies visited had virtually no sales of the product concerned in the Hong Kong market, normal value, in accordance with Article 2 (5) (a) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, was established on the basis of prices obtained by these companies for export sales, including those to the Community. Where prices varied for comparable Hong Kong models, weighted average normal values were established.
C. Export price
(11) With regard to export prices of the USSR products, these were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid for the product concerned sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(12) For the purpose of a fair comparison between normal value and export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability, such as differences in physical characteristics and differences in conditions and terms of sale where claims of a direct relationship to the sales under consideration could be satisfactorily demonstrated. This was the case in respect of differences in packaging, transport, handling and ancillary costs. As regards physical characteristics, the USSR products were imported without a strap or bracelet and the movements generally have seventeen jewels. An appropriate adjustment was made, therefore, to take account of the fact that the Hong Kong product was sold complete with strap or bracelet and generally had a one jewel movement.
All comparisons were made at an ex-works level and covered approximately 70 % of exports during the reference period.
E. Dumping margins
(13) The comparison between normal value and export prices showed the existence of dumping in respect of all imports of mechanical wrist-watches originating in the USSR during the reference period.
The margin of dumping was the amount by which the normal value exceeded the prices for export to the Community, and, expressed as a percentage of the total CIF value of the imports of the product concerned, equalled 13,4 %.
F. Injury
(14) With regard to injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission showed that imports into the Community of the product concerned from the USSR increased from approximately 350 000 units in 1982 to approximately 1 050 000 units in 1985 i.e. by 200 %. Since, in 1985, more than 90 % of these imports were concentrated in the United Kingdom market, the injury assessment was based mainly on information obtained regarding the situation in that Member State.
(15) Since the advent of inexpensive liquid crystal diode and quartz analogue watches, sales of mechanical watches in the Community have fallen steadily. By 1985, mechanical watches accounted for approximately 19 % of total watch sales as against almost 30 % in 1982. The increased sales of the USSR product has resulted in a considerable increase in the market share held by the imports from the USSR. In the United Kingdom, the Community market in which almost all sales of USSR products took place and in which by far the largest volume of relatively inexpensive mechanical watches were sold, this market share rose from approximately 9 % in 1982 to about 32 % in 1985.
(16) The evidence available to the Commission on prices showed that the USSR watches undercut the prices of the Community producer by up to 20 % during the reference period. This calculation took account of the fact that the USSR watches were generally imported as 'heads' only, the importer adding the strap or bracelet and presentation packaging.
(17) The impact on the Community producer of the dumped imports has been a fall in market share in the United Kingdom from an estimated 35 % in 1982 to 18 % in 1985. During this period, Timex attempted to increase prices on a regular basis. Faced, however, with relatively stable prices for USSR watches, price undercutting has consequently increased with the result that Timex has lost both volume and, more particularly, market share.
(18) Despite Timex's increased prices, the effect of the loss of volume on unit costs has been that this company made losses on its sales of mechanical watches in each year from 1983 to 1985.
(19) A further impact of the dumped imports on the Community industry has been a considerable reduction in the workforce employed in mechanical watch manufacturing.
(20) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as a change in the pattern in consumption. While consumption of mechanical watches has fallen steadily in the Community in recent years, sales of USSR watches have actually increased in volume, thus accounting for a higher market share held by these imports.
In addition, it was alleged that injury to Timex's mechanical watch operations was due to internal corporate problems. Even if this may have been partially the case, considerable rationalization and diversification has taken place at Timex's two mechanical watchmaking facilities in the Community in an attempt to reduce the fixed cost element of the total cost of its products.
Thus, the increasing volumes of dumped imports and the low prices at which they were sold in the Community has led the Commission to determine that the effect of the dumped imports of mechanical wrist watches from the USSR, taken in isolation, had to be considered as materially injuring the Community industry concerned.
G. Community interest
(21) No observations were received on the question of whether it would be in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping measures in the present case. In view of the extent of the injury caused by the dumped imports and in particular the possibility of further redundancies at the Community producers' plants, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community interest that action be taken and that this action take the form of a definitive anti-dumping duty.
H. Rate of duty
(22) The Commission and the Council, as the responsible Community institutions, are satisfied that, in re-opening the proceeding and undertaking the present investigation, the judgment of the Court in Case 264/82 has been complied with and that the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1882/82 need no longer be maintained in force. However, in view of the finding that imports into the Community of mechanical wrist-watches originating in the USSR were again being dumped and, taking into consideration the injury sustained, in particular the level of the losses incurred by the Community producer, it is considered that a definitive anti-dumping duty, which would eliminate the dumping found, should be imposed. The rate of duty should therefore be 13,4 %.
(23) No objections to this proposal were raised in the Advisory committee,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of mechanical wrist-watches falling within heading No ex 91.01 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE codes ex 91.01-37 and 57, originating in the USSR. 2. The amount of the definitive anti-dumping duty shall be 13,4 % of the value free-at-Community-frontier, before duty.
3. The free-at-Community-frontier price, not cleared through customs, shall be net if the actual terms and conditions of sale provide that payment shall be made within 30 days of the date of dispatch and it shall be lowered by 1 % for each month by which payment is actually deferred.
4. The provisions in force with regard to customs duties shall apply.
The anti-dumping duty imposed or collected pursuant to Article 1 shall be collected on imports into Spain and Portugal only insofar as the cumulative amount of the customs duty in force in these Member States on the product in question and of the anti-dumping duty does not exceed the cumulative amount of the Common Customs Tariff and the anti-dumping duty concerning the same product.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

allowing the coexistence of the name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ registered as a Protected Designation of Origin under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 and the unregistered name ‘Münster Käse’ designating a place in Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1) and in particular Articles 13(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 of 12 June 1996 on the registration of geographical indications and designations of origin under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 (2) registered as a Protected Designation of Origin for France the name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’. Following Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 Germany had to discontinue the use of the unregistered name ‘Münster Käse’ at the latest on 21 June 2001.
(2) Article 13(5) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, as added by Council Regulation (EC) No 692/2003 (3), provides for the coexistence of a registered and an unregistered name under very strict conditions and for a limited time period.
(3) On 1 October 2003 the Commission received a request of the German administration to allow coexistence for fifteen years of the registered name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ (PDO) and the unregistered name ‘Münster Käse’.
(4) Münster is a town in Germany and the name ‘Münster Käse’ has been subject to national legislation in Germany since 1934 and no information has been found that the name has not been in legal use consistently and equitably for at least 25 years prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 on 26 July 1993.
(5) Cheese with the name ‘Münster Käse’ has been marketed since 1951 in conformity with German national legislation on cheese qualities. Therefore, the unregistered name ‘Münster Käse’ could not profit from the reputation of the designation of origin ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ which was registered in France in 1969 and under Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 in 1996.
(6) In order to prevent the public from being misled as to the true origin, the label of the cheese ‘Münster Käse’ indicates Germany as the country of origin, as agreed in 1973 between Germany and France. The labelling obligation continued under Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. No information is found that the public has been or could be misled as to the true origin of the cheese Münster Käse.
(7) The German authorities raised the problem resulting from the inclusion of identical names by letter of 6 March 1996 to the Commission and, therefore, before the registration of the name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ (PDO) by Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 on 21 June 1996.
(8) Therefore, the coexistence of the registered French name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ (PDO) and the unregistered name Münster Käse designating a place in Germany meets the conditions set in Article 13(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Designations of Origin and Geographical Indications,
1. The name ‘Münster Käse’ shall be allowed to coexist with the name ‘Munster or Munster-Géromé’ registered as a Protected Designation of Origin under Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
2. The period of coexistence shall expire fifteen years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, after which the unregistered name shall cease to be used.
3. Germany as the country of origin shall be clearly and visibly indicated on the label of cheese bearing the name ‘Münster Käse’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (2), and in particular point 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (4) allows the mobilisation of the EGF within a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices).
(3) Belgium submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in ArcelorMittal Liège S.A. in Belgium on 22 July 2014 and supplemented it by additional information as provided by Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. This application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.
(4) The EGF should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of an amount of EUR 1 591 486 for the application submitted by Belgium,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2015, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 591 486 in commitment and payment appropriations.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 308/2012 of 11 April 2012 amending the rate of additional duty for products listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 308/2012
of 11 April 2012
amending the rate of additional duty for products listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the WTO agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time.
(2) The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2011 (1 October 2010 – 30 September 2011). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 3 241 000.
(3) The level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased. However, the level of suspension cannot be adjusted to the level of nullification or impairment by adding or removing products from the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005. As a consequence, in accordance with Article 3(1)(e) of that Regulation, the Commission should keep the list of products in Annex I unchanged and amend the rate of the additional duty in order to adjust the level of suspension to the level of nullification or impairment. The three products listed in Annex I should therefore be maintained on the list and the rate of additional import duty should be amended and set at 6 %.
(4) The effect of a 6 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in Annex I represents, over one year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 3 241 000.
(5) To make sure that there are no delays in the application of the amended rate of additional import duty, this Implementing Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(6) The measures provided for in this Implementing Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Committee on Trade Retaliation,
An ad valorem duty of 6 % additional to the customs duty applicable under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2) shall be imposed on the products originating in the United States of America listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005.
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 May 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

91/233/EEC: Commission Decision of 9 April 1991 concerning an application for reimbursement of anti- dumping duties collected on imports of certain kinds of compact disc players originating in Japan (Harman Deutschland) (Only the German text is authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 9 April 1991 concerning an application for reimbursement of anti-dumping duties collected on imports of certain kinds of compact disc players originating in Japan (Harman Deutschland) (Only the German text is authentic) (91/233/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 112/90 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain kinds of compact disc players originating in Japan or the Republic of Korea. The anti-dumping duty was set at 32 % for products originating in Japan, including the products of Benytone Corporation.
(2) In April 1990, Harman Deutschland, an independent importer based in Heilbronn, Germany, submitted an application for reimbursement of definitive anti-dumping duties paid on imports of compact disc players produced by Benytone Corporation, the amount involved being DM [ . . . ] (3). The applicant did not provide all the information required in order to establish that the duties collected exceeded the actual dumping margin, as stipulated in the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (4). The Commission gave the applicant a period of time within which to provide additional information in connection with the application. As no additional information had been received by the end of the time allotted, the Commission contacted the exporter direct in order to inform it of the relevant rules and the consequences for the importer of failure to cooperate. The exporter failed, however, to provide any information concerning normal value and the prices of all its consignments released for free circulation in the Community in the six months preceding the imports in question, and the Commission accordingly informed the applicant that in these circumstances the application could not succeed.
(3) The applicant had the opportunity to submit its comments.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and indicated its own point of view on the matter. No Member State raised any objection.
B. ARGUMENTS PRESENTED BY THE APPLICANT
(5) The applicant's main argument was that the duties collected exceeded the actual dumping margin.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(6) The application is admissible, as it was submitted in accordance with the Community's anti-dumping rules, notably with regard to time limits.
D. MERITS
(7) The application cannot be granted. Reimbursement of anti-dumping duties depends on the provision of evidence by the importer making the application that the actual dumping margin is lower than the anti-dumping duty paid, or is non-existent. The applicant was unable to provide the information required to show that the application was well founded, despite the efforts made to obtain such information from the exporter, which must bear the responsibility for this shortcoming. On the expiry of the time allowed for providing the information, the Commission was obliged to conclude that the conditions for granting a reimbursement had not been met.
(8) It follows that the application must be rejected,
Article 1
The application by Harman Deutschland for reimbursement of anti-dumping duties is hereby rejected. Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany and Harman Deutschland, Huenderstrasse 1, 7100 Heilbronn.

Having regard to Council Decision 92/438/EEC of 13 July 1992 on computerisation of veterinary import procedures (Shift project), amending Directives 90/675/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 91/628/EEC and Decision 90/424/EEC, and repealing Decision 88/192/EEC (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2003/24/EC of 30 December 2003 concerning the development of an integrated computerised veterinary system (3) provides for the development of the TRACES computer system.
(2) Entering into the TRACES system all the information contained in the common veterinary entry documents for products, provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 of 22 January 2004 laying down procedures for veterinary checks at Community border inspection posts on products imported from third countries (4), constitutes a huge increase in the workload of the border inspection posts.
(3) Imports into the Community of products of animal origin subject to the specific procedures provided for in Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (5) must, however, be transmitted via the TRACES system.
(4) Under Commission Decision 2004/292/EC of 30 March 2004 on the introduction of the TRACES system and amending Decision 92/486/EEC (6), the TRACES system is to be used by the Member States from 1 April 2004.
(5) The Member States need time to raise the awareness of freight forwarders and to train them in order to ensure that they play an active part in entering data into the TRACES system.
(6) Connections between the TRACES system and existing computerised health declaration systems in some Member States require an extensive test phase.
(7) Decision 2004/292/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 3(2) of Decision 2004/292/EC is hereby replaced by the following:
‘2. Member States shall ensure that the following data are entered in TRACES from 31 December 2004:

(c) common veterinary entry documents for all rejected consignments and for all products subject to the following specific procedures under Directive 97/78/EC:
(i) the specific monitoring procedure in Article 8(4),
(ii) the procedure for the transit of consignments from one third country to another third country in Article 11(1);
(iii) the procedure for transferring consignments to a free zone, a free warehouse or a customs warehouse in Article 12(1);

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 759/2010 (3) provisionally lists tildipirosin as an allowed substance for bovine, caprine and porcine species, applicable to muscle, fat (skin and fat for porcine species), liver, and kidney, excluding animals from which milk is produced for human consumption, until 1 January 2012. In accordance with that Annex, the MRLs for muscle did not apply to the injection site for which higher levels are provided for.
(4) Additional data were provided and assessed leading the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use to recommend the establishment of final MRLs for tildipirosin for bovine, caprine and porcine species, applicable to muscle, fat (skin and fat in natural proportions for porcine species), liver and kidney, excluding animals from which milk is produced for human consumption. Taking into account that the Commission and residue control authorities consider that, in order to ensure the feasibility of residue controls, a single MRL for muscle must be established, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use, in a revised opinion, did not recommend to provide for a separate MRL for injection site muscle as this was the case in its previous opinions.
(5) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(6) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the extrapolation of the MRLs for tildipirosin in bovine species to caprine species. It also concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.
(7) The entry for tildipirosin in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include final MRLs for the pharmaceutical substance tildipirosin for bovine, caprine and porcine species, applicable to muscle, fat (skin and fat in natural proportions for porcine species), liver and kidney. The provisions on the MRLs for the injection site as regards muscle and on provisional MRLs should be removed.
(8) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRLs.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 3 May 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 73 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that the products referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) and (b) of that Regulation may only be imported if accompanied by a certificate attesting that they comply with the provisions on production, release for free circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption applying in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73 (1) of that Regulation stipulates that if the imported products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by Community rules or do not comply with the provisions of that Regulation or of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas the Council derogated from this principle by Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 (2); whereas this derogation expires on 31 December 1995; whereas, so that consultations can continue between the Community and the third country concerned with a view to an agreement on this matter, the term of validity of the derogation should be extended until the end of 1996,

of 19 February 2004
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 2196/2003(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 Annex V to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(5), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(6), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(7), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(8), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(9) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(10) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(7) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(11), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(12) with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta, are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and 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 set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 3 of Protocol 1 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part, signed on 17 July 1995, provides for customs duty of ECU 7,81 per 100 kg on imports into the Community between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1999 of 46 000 tonnes per marketing year of untreated olive oil of CN code 1509 10 10 or 1509 10 90 wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported directly from that country to the Community;
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 447/97 (1), the Council provides for special measures applicable to the import of olive oil originating in Tunisia until the entry into force of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement signed with Tunisia; whereas, since that Agreement comes into force on 1 March 1998, the said Regulation should be formally repealed;

Whereas the supply forecast for the Community market in olive oil indicates that this quantity can be absorbed without risk of market disturbance if imports are not concentrated in a short period of the marketing year; whereas therefore, for the sake of efficient operation of the quota arrangements, their management should be entrusted to the Commission,
1. The quota of 46 000 tonnes per marketing year of untreated olive oil of CN code 1509 10 10 or 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported directly from that country to the Community, to which a customs duty of ECU 7,81 per 100 kg applies, shall be opened and managed by the Commission in line with arrangements adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (3).

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 7 May 2012
concerning the determination of start-up and shut-down periods for the purposes of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions
(notified under document C(2012) 2948)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/249/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2010/75/EU does not determine start-up and shut-down periods, while those periods relate to several provisions in that Directive.
(2) For combustion plants covered by Chapter III of Directive 2010/75/EU, the determination of start-up and shut-down periods is required for assessing compliance with the emission limit values set out in Annex V to Directive 2010/75/EU, taking into account Part 4 of that Annex, as well as for determining the number of operating hours of the combustion plants, where it is relevant for the implementation of that Directive.
(3) Article 14(1)(f) of Directive 2010/75/EU requires the permit to include measures relating to conditions other than normal operating conditions, such as start-up and shut-down operations. In accordance with Article 6 of Directive 2010/75/EU, such measures can be included in general binding rules.
(4) The emissions from combustion plants during start-up and shut-down periods are generally at elevated concentrations compared to normal operating conditions. In view of the objective of Directive 2010/75/EU to prevent emissions, those periods should be as short as possible.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 75 of Directive 2010/75/EU,
Subject matter and scope
This Decision lays down rules concerning the determination of the start-up and shut-down periods referred to in point (27) of Article 3 and in point 1 of Part 4 of Annex V to Directive 2010/75/EU.
This Decision shall apply to combustion plants covered by Chapter III of Directive 2010/75/EU.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision the following definitions apply:
(1) ‘minimum start-up load for stable generation’ means the minimum load compatible with the steady operation of the generating combustion plant following start-up initiation after which the plant is able to safely and reliably deliver its output to a network, grid, heat accumulator or industrial site;
(2) ‘minimum shut-down load for stable generation’ means the minimum load at which point the plant can no longer safely and reliably deliver its output to a network, grid, heat accumulator or industrial site and is considered to be shutting down.
General rules for determining start-up and shut-down periods
For determining the end of the start-up period and the beginning of the shut-down period, the following rules shall apply:
(1) the criteria or parameters used to determine start-up and shut-down periods shall be transparent and externally verifiable;
(2) the determination of start-up and shut-down periods shall be based on conditions allowing a stable generation process safeguarding health and safety;
(3) periods during which a combustion plant, after start-up, is operating stably and safely with fuel supply but without the export of heat or electricity or mechanical energy shall not be included in the start-up or shut-down periods.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods in the permit
1. For the purposes of the determination of start-up and shut-down periods in the permit of the installation comprising the combustion plant, the measures referred to in Article 14(1)(f) of Directive 2010/75/EU shall include:
(a) at least one of the following:
(i) the end point of the start-up period and the start point of the shut-down period expressed as load thresholds, in accordance with Articles 6, 7 and 8 and considering that the minimum shut-down load for stable generation may be lower than the minimum start-up load for stable generation as the combustion plant may be able to operate stably at a lower load once it has reached a sufficient temperature following a period of operation;
(ii) discrete processes or thresholds for operational parameters, which are associated with the end of the start-up period, and with the start of the shut-down period, and which are clear, easily monitored and applicable to the technology used, as set out in Article 9;
(b) measures ensuring that the start-up and shut-down periods are minimised as far as practicable;
(c) measures ensuring that all abatement equipment is brought into operation as soon as is technically practicable.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, account shall be taken of the technical and operational characteristics of the combustion plant and its units, and the technical requirements for operating the abatement techniques installed.
2. If any aspects relating to the plant that affect start-up and shut-down periods change, including the installed equipment, fuel type, plant role in the system and installed abatement techniques, the permit conditions related to start-up and shut-down periods shall be reconsidered and, if necessary, updated by the competent authority.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods for combustion plants consisting of two or more units
1. For the purpose of calculating the average emission values as set out in point 1 of Part 4 of Annex V to Directive 2010/75/EU, the following rules shall apply for determining the start-up and shut-down periods of combustion plants consisting of two or more units:
(a) the values measured during the start-up period of the first unit starting up and during the shut-down period of the last combustion unit shutting down shall be disregarded;
(b) the values determined during other start-up and shut-down periods of individual units shall be disregarded only if they are measured or, where no measurement is technically or economically feasible, calculated separately for each of the units concerned.
2. For the purpose of point (27) of Article 3 of Directive 2010/75/EU, the start-up and shut-down periods of combustion plants consisting of two or more units shall only consist of the start-up period of the first combustion unit starting up and the shut-down period of the last combustion unit shutting down.
For combustion plants for which points 2, 4 and 6 of Part 1 of Annex V to Directive 2010/75/EU allow the application of an emission limit value to part of the plant discharging its waste gases through one or more separate flues within a common stack, the start-up and shut-down periods may be determined for each of those parts of the combustion plant separately. The start-up and shut-down periods for a part of the plant shall then consist of the start-up period of the first combustion unit starting up within that part of the plant and the shut-down period of the last combustion unit shutting down within that part of the plant.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods for combustion plants generating electricity or delivering power for mechanical drive using load thresholds
1. For combustion plants generating electricity and for combustion plants for mechanical drive, the start-up period shall be considered to end at the point when the plant reaches the minimum start-up load for stable generation.
2. The shut-down period shall be considered to begin at the initiation of termination of fuel supply after reaching the point of the minimum shut-down load for stable generation from where on generated electricity is no longer available for the grid or generated mechanical power is no longer useful for the mechanical load.
3. The load thresholds to be used for determining the end of the start-up period and the start of the shut-down period for electricity generating combustion plants and to be included in the plant’s permit shall be a fixed percentage of the rated electrical output of the combustion plant.
4. The load thresholds to be used for determining the end of the start-up period and the start of the shut-down period for combustion plant for mechanical drive and to be included in the plant’s permit shall be a fixed percentage of the mechanical power output of the combustion plant.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods for heat generating combustion plants using load thresholds
1. For heat-generating combustion plants, the start-up period shall be considered to end when the plant reaches the minimum start-up load for stable generation and heat can be safely and reliably delivered to a distributing network, to a heat accumulator or used directly on a local industrial site.
2. The shut-down period shall be considered to begin after reaching the minimum shut-down load for stable generation when heat can no longer be safely and reliably delivered to a network or used directly on a local industrial site.
3. The load thresholds to be used for determining the end of the start-up period and the beginning of the shut-down period for heat generating combustion plants and to be included in the plant’s permit shall be a fixed percentage of the rated thermal output of the combustion plant.
4. Periods in which heat-generating plants are heating up an accumulator or reservoir without exporting heat shall be considered as operating hours and not as start-up or shut-down periods.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods for combustion plants generating heat and electricity using load thresholds
For combustion plants generating electricity and heat, the start-up and shut-down periods shall be determined as set out in Articles 6 and 7, taking into account both the electricity and heat generated.
Determination of start-up and shut-down periods using operational parameters or discrete processes
For determining the minimum start-up load and the minimum shut-down load for stable generation, at least three criteria shall be defined, with the end of start-up or start of shut-down periods reached when at least two of the criteria have been met.
These criteria shall be chosen from the following:
(1) discrete processes set out in the Annex or equivalent processes that suit the technical characteristics of the plant;
(2) thresholds for the operational parameters set out in the Annex, or equivalent operational parameters that suit the technical characteristics of the plant.

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 June 1976 concerning the Italian scheme of assistance for the press and the paper manufacturing industry granted through the Ente Nazionale per la Cellulosa e per la Carta (ENCC) (Only the Italian text is authentic) (76/574/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) and Article 93 (3) thereof,
After giving interested parties notice to submit their comments,
Whereas by Law No 172 of 6 June 1975 (Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana No 149, 9 June 1975) the Italian Republic introduced a new scheme of assistance for the press in the form of grants for the purchase of newsprint;
Whereas this assistance is granted from state funds which have been allocated to the ENCC from the budget ; whereas it is likely to distort competition and affect trade in printed matter, since it reduces the cost of paper purchased by publishers ; whereas it is therefore an aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty;
Whereas, to qualify for the purchase grants provided for in Law No 172 of 6 June 1975, the buyer must be allocated the quantities of paper he requires by the Ente Nazionale per la Cellulosa e per la Carta (ENCC);
Whereas the Italian Government has informed the Commission that the allocation procedure does not result in discrimination between national and imported products, since the sole purpose is to control the use to which paper is put, which determines the size of the allocation and the amount of assistance;
Whereas, however, the text of Law No 172 of 6 June 1975 makes the grant of assistance dependent on allocation of paper by the ENCC under the procedure set up by Law No 1453 of 13 June 1975 to regulate the market in cellulose and paper ; whereas this could create confusion in the minds of importers and discourage them from approaching suppliers in the other Member States and thus prevent the economic interpretation sought be the EEC Treaty;
Whereas the Italian Government should therefore publicise the fact that the assistance will be granted without distinction for the purchase of direct paper imports and paper distributed by the ENCC and that the allocation made by the ENCC under Article 1 of Law No 172 is a mere formality intended solely to control the use to which paper is put;
Whereas, if this information is published, the aid scheme introduced by Law No 172 will not affect the terms of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest and may therefore qualify for exemption under Article 92 (3) (c);
Whereas, if this information is not published, the aid scheme introduced by Law No 172 cannot be considered compatible with the common market,
The Italian Republic may not operate the aid scheme introduced by Law No 172 of 6 June 1975 until it has published an appropriate notice informing interested parties that the assistance will be granted without distinction for the purchase of direct paper imports and paper distributed by the ENCC and that allocation of paper by the ENCC under Article 1 of this Law is a mere formality intended solely to control the use to which paper is put.
The Italian Government shall inform the Commission within one month of this Decision of the steps it has taken to comply with Article 1.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Government.

Having regard to Commission Decision 73/262/EEC (3),
Whereas the carrying out of surveys requires the establishment of definitions of the categories of animals envisaged in Decision 73/262/EEC;
Whereas experience has shown that in order to avoid any ambiguity it is desirable that the definition of categories of cows be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Dutch Government submitted to the Commission on 28 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the regions fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and those qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the North region eligible under Objective 2 and those qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the Netherlands.
The priorities are as follows:
(1) strengthening the market sector,
(2) developing town centres,
(3) improving the way the labour market operates,
(4) technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, the EIB and the other Financial Instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5b and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 1237450000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 341900000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 532210000 from the public sector and EUR 363340000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 341900000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. All Community assistance available - EUR 341900000 - will be provided by the ERDF.
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, or a larger percentage, provided that the total amount does exceed EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now Articles 87 and 88) of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

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, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 19(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 16(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4), provides that the revised production estimate for unginned cotton referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 and the resulting new provisional reduction in the guide price are to be established before 1 December of the marketing year concerned.
(2) Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 provides that the revised production estimate is to be established taking account of the progress of the harvest. On the basis of data available for the 2002/2003 marketing year, that revised estimate should be as set out below.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 provides that from 16 December following the start of the marketing year, the amount of the advance is to be determined based on the revised production estimate, plus at least 7,5 %. In view of the most recent figures for the 2002/2003 marketing year on quantities placed in supervised storage notified by the Member States in accordance with Article 15(4)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, as a safety margin, a percentage increase of 9,5 % for Greece, 7,5 % for Spain and 12 % Portugal should be applied.
(4) The new provisional reduction in the guide price is calculated in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, but replacing actual production by the revised production estimate plus at least 7,5 %. That reduction should therefore be as set out below.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 July 2005

(notified under document number C(2005) 2764)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/573/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the detection of residues of veterinary medicines in certain products of animal origin imported from China, and the shortcomings identified during an inspection visit to that country as regards the regulation of veterinary medicines and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/69/EC (2).
(2) Corrective measures were subsequently implemented by Chinese authorities and additional information and supplementary guarantees were provided. Along with favourable results of the checks carried out by the Commission services and Member States, these measures allowed amendments of Decision 2002/69/EC and the subsequent adoption of several measures to authorise the importation of products of animal origin from China. These amendments were consolidated in Commission Decision 2002/994/EC of 20 December 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China (3), which has repealed Decision 2002/69/EC.
(3) Results of the checks carried out by Member States on the products authorised for import since the application of Decision 2004/621/EC are generally favourable. This allows consideration of the authorisation of imports from China of petfood. In view of the negligible risk for consumers, it is appropriate to amend the Decision accordingly.
(4) In order to improve legal clarity over the range of animal products which are prohibited for import from China, it is appropriate to clarify the text of Decision 2002/994/EC.
(5) Decision 2002/994/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2002/994/EC is amended as follows:
1. Articles 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
2. The Annex is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 26 July 2005.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2261/2001
of 21 November 2001
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 November 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 797/93 (2) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content by weight of max. 0,5 % (low carbon ferro-chrome), originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine;

It shall cease to apply if, before the expiry of that period, the Council adopts definitive measures or the proceeding is terminated under Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.

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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 18 (6) and 25 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 885/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (3), laid down general rules for granting export refunds and criteria for fixing the amount thereof;
Whereas, on account of the market situation, the economic situation in the beef and veal sector and the scope for selling certain products of the sector, the conditions governing the payment of special export refunds on these products should be determined; whereas, in particular, conditions should be laid down for certain cuts of meat produced by boning hindquarters of male cattle;
Whereas, in order to ensure that these objectives are complied with, a special supervisory procedure should be introduced; whereas the origin of the product may be authenticated by the production of a certificate on the model of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 of 7 January 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds for beef and veal (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 752/82 (5);
Whereas it should be specified that the grant of the special refund shall be conditional on all the cut meat produced by boning the hindquarters placed under supervision being exported, apart from certain by-products which can be sold in the Community;

Whereas application of the arrangements on victualling warehouses set out in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 is incompatible with the purpose of this Regulation; whereas there is no need therefore to make any provision for applying the arrangements indicated in the said Article 26 to the products in question;
Whereas, in view of the special nature of this refund, no substitution should be permitted and means of identification of the products in question should be provided for;
Whereas the method by which the Member States notify the Commission of the quantities of products on which special export refunds have been granted should be laid down;

The period within which the hindquarters must be boned shall, except in circumstances of force majeure, be 10 working days from the date of acceptance of the declaration referred to in Article 2.
1. After boning, the operator shall submit for endorsement to the competent authority one or more 'boned meat certificates', a specimen of which is annexed hereto and on which the number of the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2) shall be entered in box 7.
2. The numbers of the 'boned meat certificates' shall be entered in box 9 of the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2). This latter certificate, duly completed, shall be sent by administrative channels to the agency responsible for payment of export refunds when 'boned meat certificates' corresponding to the entire quantity of boned meat from the hindquarters taken under supervision have been endorsed in accordance with paragraph 1.

Without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79, the grant of the special refund shall be conditional, except in circumstances of force majeure, on exportation of the total quantity of meat produced by boning covered by the abovementioned supervision.
The operator may, however, sell within the Community bones, large tendons, cartilages, pieces of fat and other scraps left over from boning.
1. By way of derogation from Articles 2 (3) and 4 (1), Member States may make provision for appropriate control measures in place of the supervision by the competent authorities of the boning of the hindquarters, and may provide, in particular:
- that, when the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2) is issued, appropriate measures be taken to ensure that the hindquarters are indelibly marked to enable each piece produced by boning to be identified and that the net weight of the hindquarters be entered in box 7 of the certificate,
- that detailed rules for trimming and packaging be established, together with a description of the different cuts to be obtained,
- that customs formalities referred to in Article 5 be completed simultaneously for all the boned meat within the period indicated in Article 3,
- that, when those customs formalities are completed, a single 'boned meat certificate' covering the entire quantity of the meat produced by the boning operation be submitted with the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2),
- that the competent authorities make sample checks in the boning rooms.
2. By way of derogation from Article 4 (2), Member States may provide:
- that the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2) shall not be sent by administrative channels to the agency responsible for payment of refunds,
- that a single 'boned meat certificate' covering the entire quantity of meat resulting from the boning operation be issued together with the certificate referred to in Article 2 (2),
- that the two certificates be submitted simultaneously when the customs export formalities are completed,
- that the two certificates be sent simultaneously under the conditions laid down in Article 5 (3).
The Member States shall determine the conditions for supervision and shall inform the Commission accordingly. They shall take all necessary measures to make substitution of the products in question impossible, in particular by identification of each piece of meat. No meat other than that covered by this Regulation, with the exception of pigmeat, may be present in the boning room when the meat in question is being boned, trimmed or packaged.
The bags, cartons or other packaging material in which the boned cuts are placed shall be officially sealed by the competent authorities and bear particulars enabling the boned meat to be identified, in particular the net weight, the type and the number of the cuts and a serial number.
The Member States shall communicate to the Commission by telex before the 25th day of each month the quantities in respect of which 'boned meat certificates' have given rise during the previous month either to payment of the special refund or to advance payment thereof as referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 or in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1900/87 (2), and in particular Articles 16 (6) and 24 thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2223/86 (4), stipulates that a system of fixing the refund in advance is to be applied in the case of cereal products used in the production of goods covered by that Regulation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 349/86 (6), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of advance-fixing certificates; whereas Article 3 (a) of that Regulation allows for the description of more than one product to be inserted in section 12 of the advance-fixing certificate;
Whereas under the common commercial policy it has been decided that the Community's exports of pasta falling within heading No 19.03 of the Common Customs Tariff to the United States of America should consist in part of products to which inward processing traffic arrangements have been applied, and in part of products on which export refunds are granted; whereas it is necessary in this connection that advance-fixing certificates merely show the goods to be exported as pasta;
Whereas the Commission must have available as rapidly as possible all the information it needs to assess the likely trend of pasta exports to the United States of America; whereas it must be possible for this information to serve as the basis for certain decisions designed to prevent an inappropriate increase in the quantities of cereal sector basic products for which advance-fixing certificates are issued for their export in the form of pasta to the United States of America; whereas there should therefore be a waiting period before certificate applications are accepted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
When the arrangements for fixing the refund in advance for a cereal sector basic product exported in the form of pasta falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No 19.03 are used:
(a) section 12 of the application for the advance-fixing certificate and the certificate itself shall indicate only that the products fall within heading No 19.03 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(b) section 13 of the application for the advance-fixing certificate and of the certificate itself shall be completed 'United States of America' or 'other than United States of America'. The certificate shall carry an obligation to export as indicated.
Applications for advance-fixing certificates for cereal sector basic products to be exported to the United States of America in the form of pasta falling within heading No 19.03 of the Common Customs Tariff shall be delivered on the fifth working day following that on which the application was lodged, providing that no specific measures have been taken in the meantime.
1. The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission every working day of:
- the quantities of cereal sector basic products for which advance-fixing certificates were applied for on the previous working day for the purpose of export to the United States of America in the form of pasta falling within heading No 19.03 of the Common Customs Tariff,
- the quantities of pasta falling within heading No 19.03 of the Common Customs Tariff for which the rate of the export refund granted on the previous working day for the cereals used in its production was fixed in advance, together with the date on which the declaration of export of the pasta to the United States of America was accepted by the relevant customs authorities.
2. The information specified in paragraph 1 shall, for the purposes of notification to the Commission, be broken down by Common Customs Tariff subheading and shall be sent to the following address:

1999/226/ECSC: Commission Decision of 1 July 1998 concerning aid which the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia plans to grant to the steel company Servola SpA (notified under document number C(1998) 1941) (Only the Italian text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance)

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 July 1998 concerning aid which the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia plans to grant to the steel company Servola SpA (notified under document number C(1998) 1941) (Only the Italian text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (1999/226/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2496/96/ECSC of 18 December 1996 establishing Community rules for State aid to the steel industry (1), and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,
Having invited the interested parties to submit their comments, and taking account of those comments (2),
Whereas:
I
By letter of 28 June 1996 the Commission informed the Italian authorities of its decision to initiate proceedings under Article 6(4) of Commission Decision No 3855/91/ECSC (replaced from 1 January 1997 by Commission Decision No 2496/96/ECSC, hereinafter referred to as 'the Steel Aid Code`) in respect of part of the aid which the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia planned to grant to the steel undertaking Servola SpA (hereinafter referred to as 'Servola`).
From the information available to the Commission, which was based essentially on the statements of the Italian authorities in the documents submitted, the Commission draws the following conclusions.
Under draft Regional Law No 166, approved by the Regional Executive on 22 May 1995, the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia proposed to assist Servola to bring its Trieste plant into line with environmental standards. The assistance took the form of a capital contribution of ITL 8,5 billion towards environmental protection investments of at least ITL 37,9 billion. The investments were aimed in particular at curbing smoke and dust emissions, reducing noise and improving water recovery.
Having analysed the notified aid and investments, the Commission decided to initiate proceedings under Article 6(4) of Decision No 3855/91/ECSC in view of the fact that part of the investments, totalling some ITL 10 billion which, according to the information submitted, was for environmental protection in the form of dust control at the plant, precipitation of dust generated at the cast-iron transfer stage and cleaning of the 'torpedoes`, related mostly to plants that entered into service in 1991/92.
Because the environmental standards, i.e. the standards which the ITL 10 billion investment was intended to help attain, were adopted only in July 1990, the requirement in Article 3 of the abovementioned Decision that aid may be authorised only if plants entered into service at least two years before the entry into force of the environmental standards in question has not been complied with.
The Commission also had serious doubts as to the compatibility with the common market of another part of the notified investments, totalling some ITL 4 billion, aimed at reducing dust and noise levels by resurfacing roads and yards at the site. It took the view that this type of investment cannot be deemed eligible within the meaning of Article 3 of the Decision as roads and yards at an industrial steelworks do not appear to correspond to the concept of 'plants` as referred to in Article 3.
The Commission decided not to object to the remaining aid totalling ITL 23,94 billion.
II
The Commission invited the Italian Government to submit its comments on the proceedings, and informed other Member States and interested parties by publishing the decision initiating proceedings.
By letter dated 17 October 1996, the Commission received comments from the British Iron and Steel Producers Association (BISPA) which were then forwarded to the Italian authorities by letter of 23 December 1996.
In its letter, BISPA expressed support for the initiation of the proceedings by the Commission. In particular, it considered that no aid could be authorised for plants installed in 1991 or 1992 as the environmental standards had already entered into force in 1990. The aid for resurfacing roads and yards does not relate to plants as defined in Article 3 of the Steel Aid Code since, according to the interpretation given by the Commission, plant means only machinery and equipment.
BISPA therefore asked the Commission to declare the aid in question incompatible with the common market for coal and steel, pursuant to Article 4(c) of the ECSC Treaty.
III
The Italian Government responded to the initiation of proceedings and the comments from third parties by letter dated 20 October 1997 in which, after first noting the Commission's position, it altered the eligible investments and the aid referred to in the notification, announcing that it would withdraw the aid objected to by the Commission (ITL 14 billion) and requesting approval of ITL 7,2 billion of aid for the other investments not disputed in the decision initiating proceedings.
It is also clear that some of the notified investments will lead to significant improvements in environmental protection, in particular the 'Still` equipment used to clean waste water (NH35 mg/l and H2S 0,2 mg/l, whereas the current statutory limits in Italy are 15 mg/l for the former and 1 mg/l for the latter). The same is true of the planned primary dust extraction in the sintering plant (25 mg/m3 for dusts and 250 mg/m3 for nitrogen oxides, the statutory limits being 50 mg/m3 and 400 Nox).
The Italian Government therefore requested approval for aid totalling ITL 7,2 billion for the other environmental protection investments, totalling ITL 23,94 billion (3), that had not been objected to in the initiation of proceedings.
The Commission would point out that, whenever a steel undertaking decides to introduce environmental standards that are stricter than required by law, investors must, in order to obtain the additional aid provided for in the Community Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection, demonstrate, inter alia, that they have freely decided to comply with the stricter standards, which call for additional investment, and that there is a less costly solution which complies with the minimum environmental protection standards imposed by national law.
In addition, contrary to the calculation method referred to by the Italian authorities according to which the higher level of aid provided for in the Community guidelines is based on the total environmental investment, the Commission considers that, in view of the said Guidelines, the additional aid is applicable solely to that part of the investment which exceeds the investment needed in order to comply with the minimum environmental standards.
It is clear that, in the present case, the amount of the environmental investment which exceeds the amount needed for compliance with national minimum standards is ITL 17,2 billion. This amount covers, in particular, the dust extraction equipment for the sintering plant, involving a cost of ITL 8 billion rather than ITL 1,5 billion; the ecological equipment for the coking plant, costing ITL 9 billion instead of ITL 2 billion; the ecological equipment for removing dust from the conveyor belts; the coal and ore storage bunkers (an extra ITL 1 billion of investment) and, lastly, the reduction in NH3 levels in the water used in the production cycle (an extra ITL 800 million of investment).
The chief justification in the present case for the high level of extra investment is due to the fact that the steelworks are located in the centre of Trieste and that Servola therefore invests far more than required by the minimum standards in force.
In view of the foregoing, it must be concluded that, although Servola could have reduced the amount of most of the notified investments and still complied with the environmental standards provided for in Italian law, the proposed aid cannot be approved. The higher level cannot, contrary to the suggestion put forward by the Italian authorities, take account of the total investments, but only that part in excess of the investment required to comply with the minimum standards. Accordingly, the State aid may not exceed a total of ITL 6,171 billion, i.e. ITL 5,160 billion in aid (equal to 30 % of ITL 17,2 billion of investment), plus ITL 1,011 billion in aid (equal to 15 % of the remaining ITL 6,740 billion of investment).
The Commission points out, lastly, that no further aid may be authorised in the present case, in particular aid for small and medium-sized enterprises, in view of the fact that, at 31 December 1997, Servola employed 746 persons.
IV
Having noted the irrevocable decision of the Italian authorities to cancel the aid objected to by the Commission in its decision initiating proceedings, this Decision concerns only the remaining State aid proposals, against which, since they are considered compatible with the Community environmental standards in force at the time of the notification, the Commission has decided not to raise any objections,
The environmental investment aid which the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia plans to grant to Servola SpA and which may not exceed ITL 6,171 billion gross is compatible with the common market for coal and steel.
The Italian Government shall inform the Commission, within two months of the notification of this Decision, of the total aid actually granted to Servola SpA to enable the Commission to verify that the maximum amount has not been exceeded.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

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 the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15) thereof,
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 Annex V to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector (2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 are fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

26.8.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 221/14
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1389/2005
of 25 August 2005
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) 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.
(10) 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 26 August 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
