COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1190/97 of 25 June 1997 fixing the target price for milk and the intervention prices for butter and skimmed-milk powder for the 1997/1998 milk marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Articles 3 (4) and 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when fixing the common agricultural prices each year, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to secure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach the consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the target price for milk should bear a balanced relationship to the prices for other agricultural products and in particular to the prices for beef and veal, and be consistent with the desired general pattern of cattle farming; whereas it is also necessary, in fixing that price, to take account of the Community's efforts to establish a long-term balance between supply and demand on the milk market, allowing for external trade in milk and milk products;
Whereas the intervention prices for butter and for skimmed-milk powder are intended to contribute to the achievement of the target price for milk; whereas it is necessary to determine price levels in the light of the overall supply-and-demand situation on the Community market in milk and the opportunities for disposal of butter and skimmed-milk powder on the Community and world markets,
For the 1997/1998 milk marketing year the target price for milk and the intervention prices for milk products shall be as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 of 19 July 1993 introducing specific measures for the smaller Aegean islands concerning certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 6 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (2) of that Regulation provides for the granting of private storage aid for four types of cheese manufactured on the smaller Aegean islands; whereas the detailed rules for the application of this provision should in all main points be identical to those for similar measures for other cheese; whereas the amount of the aid should be set using the same criteria as in the case of those measures;
Whereas Article 1 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 of 30 June 1993 fixing the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to milk and milk products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2866/93 (3), lays down the conversion rate to be applied for the purposes of private storage aid measures in the milk sector;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Private storage aid shall be granted for a maximum quantity of 5 000 tonnes per year of locally manufactured cheese as referred to in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93.
The Greek authorities shall lay down the criteria for the division of this quantity between the four types of cheese concerned, on the one hand, and between the various islands, on the other. Those criteria shall be communicated to the Commission.
1. The responsible agency designated by Greece shall not conclude storage contracts unless the following requirements are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than two tonnes;
(b) on the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, the cheese is at least
- 90 days old in the case of Graviera, Ladotyri and Kefalograviera,

(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is + 16 °C,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the lot which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the responsible agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity for contracts continues to be met, the agency may authorize an alteration limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of removal from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the agency, the contract shall be deemed not to have undergone any alteration;
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract shall be deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into storage during the previous week and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which entry of the cheese covered by the contract into storage is completed;
(b) after completion of entry of the cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
2. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days storage under contract.
By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 1 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the quantity under contract.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
The amount of aid shall be ECU 2,28 per tonne per day.
Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
1. Greece shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the authority responsible for verifying execution of the measure all documentation permitting the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage,
(b) origin and date of manufacture of the cheeses,
(c) date of entry into storage,
(d) presence in the store,
(e) date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the operator of the store shall keep stock accounts available at the store, covering:
(a) identification, by contract number, of products placed in private storage,
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage,
(c) the number of cheeses in each lot and their weight,
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheese covered by a contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2 (1) (d), on entry into storage, the responsible agency shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The agency responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report must be signed by the official responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator.
8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of the products checked the check shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the responsible agency.
Greece shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. Greece may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Greece shall communicate to the Commission not later than the 10th day of each month, in respect of the preceding month, the quantities of cheese for which storage contracts shall been concluded, with a breakdown by category of cheese referred to in Article 2 (1) (b).

|
17.6.1992 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 163/1
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1536/92
of 9 June 1992
laying down common marketing standards for preserved tuna and bonito
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 of 28 November 1991 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 provides for the possibility of adopting common marketing standards for fishery products in the Community, particularly in order to keep products of unsatisfactory commercial quality off the market and to facilitate trade relations based on fair competition;
Whereas the adoption of such standards for preserved tuna and bonito is likely to improve the profitability of tuna production in the Community, and the market outlets therefor, and to facilitate disposal of the products;
Whereas it must be specified in this context, particularly in order to ensure market transparency, that the products concerned must be prepared exclusively from well defined species and must contain a minimum quantity of fish;
Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to define a trade designation for the products concerned; whereas it is completely without prejudice to their classification and tariff treatment when imported into the Community, in particular for the granting of preferential arrangements;
Whereas, in order to ensure clarity in the trade description of the products concerned, the presentation in which they are marketed should be defined and the method of designation of the covering media laid down; whereas these criteria must not, however, be such as to preclude the introduction of new products into the market;
Whereas Council Directives 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (2), and 76/21 I/EEC of 20 January 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to making-up by weight or by volume of certain prepackaged products (3), specify the particulars required for correct information and protection of the consumer as regards the contents of packages; whereas, for preserved tuna and bonito, the trade description should also be determined with regard to the proposed commercial presentation or culinary preparation and, where appropriate, the covering medium used; whereas the labelling of the products concerned should be required to state the fish content in the container; whereas the meaning of the trade description ‘natural’ should be defined;
Whereas the purpose of Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products (4) is to harmonize the health requirements to be respected when marketing Community fishery products and to protect public health; whereas the requirements laid down in this marketing standard are applied without prejudice to the health regulations in force;
Whereas the Commission should have responsibility for the adoption of any technical implementing measures, in compliance with the Community's international obligations,
This Regulation defines the standard governing the marketing of preserved tuna and bonito in the Community.
1. The trade description of preserved tuna or bonito, as defined in Article 5, shall be reserved for products which satisfy the following conditions:
(1) Preserved tuna must:
— fall within CN codes 1604 14 10 and ex 1604 20 70,
— be prepared exclusively from fish of one of the species listed in point I of the Annex to this Regulation;
(2) Prepared bonito must:
— fall within CN codes 1604 14 90, ex 1604 20 50, 1604 19 30, ex 1604 20 70, ex 1604 19 99 and ex 1604 20 90;
— be prepared exclusively from fish of one of the species listed in point II of the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Different species may not be mixed in the same container.
However, culinary preparations using tuno or bonito flesh entailing disaparance of the muscular structure may contain the flesh of other fish which has undergone the same treatment provided at least 25 % of the net weight consists of tuna or bonito or a mixture of the two.
1. If any of the following forms of commercial presentation of the product form part of the trade description referred to in Article 5, they shall comply with the following definitions:
(i) solid: the musculature is cut transversely and is presented as a whole slice formed by a single portion or reconstituted by the compact assembly of several portions of flesh.
(ii) chunks: fragments of flesh, the initial muscle structure of which is maintained and the shortest side of which is not less than 1,2 cm.
(iii) fillets:
(a) longitudinal strips of muscle taken from the musculature parallel to the vertebral column;
(b) strips of muscle from the abdominal wall; in this case, the fillets may be described as abdominal fillets, too;
(iv) flakes: fragments of flesh the initial muscle structure of which is maintained and which are of heterogeneous size;
(v) grated/shredded tuna: separate particles of flesh of uniform dimension which do not constitute a paste.
2. Any form of presentation other than those referred to in paragraph 1 or other culinary preparation shall be permitted, provided that it is clearly identified in the trade description.
If the covering medium used forms an integral part of the trade description, it shall comply with the following conditions:
— ‘in olive oil’ shall be reserved for products using only olive oil, excluding any mixture with other oils,
— ‘natural’ shall be reserved for products using the natural juice (the liquid exuding from the fish during cooking), a saline solution or water, possibly with the addition of herbs, spices or natural flavourings as defined in Directive 88/388/EEC (5),
— ‘in vegetable oil’ shall be reserved for products using refined vegetable oils, and singly or in mixtures,
— where any other covering medium is used, it shall be identified clearly and explicitly using its usual trade name.
1. Without prejudice to Directives 79/112/EEC and 76/21 I/EEC the trade description on the prepackaging of preserved tuna or bonito shall state:
(a) in the case of the presentations referred to in Article 3 (1):
— the type of fish (tuno or bonito),
— the presentation in which the fish is marketed, using the appropriate description as referred to in Article 3; this provision shall be optional, however, in the case of the presentations referred to in Article 3 (1) (i),
— the description of the covering medium used, subject to the conditions set out in Article 4;
(b) in the case of the presentations referred to in Article 3 (2):
— the type of fish (tuna or bonito),
— the precise nature of the culinary preparation.
2. The trade descriptions of preserved tuna and bonito, as defined in Article 2 (1) (1) and (2) respectively, may under no circumstances associate the words ‘tuna’ and ‘bonito’.
3. Without prejudice to Article 2 and paragraph 2 of this Article, where there is an established trade usage, the type of fish used (tuna or bonito) and the species may appear in the trade description under the name normally used in the Member State in which the products are marketed.
4. The trade description ‘natural’ may be used only for preserves marketed in the presentations referred to in Article 3 (1) (i) to (iii) and in the covering medium is described in the second indent of Article 4.
Without prejudice to the Community provisions referred to in Articles 7 and 8 of Directive 79/112/EEC, the ratio between the weight of the fish contained in the container after sterilization and the net weight expressed in grams shall be at least:
(a) in the case of the presentations referred to in Article 3 (1):
— 70 % in the case of the covering medium referred to in the second indent of Article 4,
— 65 % in the case of other covering media;
(b) 25 % in the case of the culinary presentations or preparations referred to in Article 3 (2).
The rules laid down by this Regulation shall apply without prejudice to those established by Directive 91/493/EEC.
As required, the Commission shall adopt, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, the measures necessary for the application of this Regulation.
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1993.
2. Products in stock which were labelled before 1 January 1993 may be sold until their date of minimum durability stated on the packaging.
3. By way of derogation from Article 5 (2), preserved tuna or bonito for which the terms ‘tuna’ and ‘bonito’ are associated in the trade description may be marketed for a period of three years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(89/327/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 571/89 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Commission Decisions 76/33/EEC (3), 76/34/EEC (4), 76/35/EEC (5) and 76/671/EEC (6) authorizing the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, Ireland and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg respectively to waive the provisions relating to the wrapping of beef quarters subject to intervention measures were adopted under certain provisions of the detailed rules for the application of the intervention measures in force up to 2 April 1989; whereas those provisions no longer appear in the new detailed rules of application laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 of 29 March 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of intervention measures in the beef and veal sector (7); whereas the abovementioned Decisions should accordingly be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3153/84
of 12 November 1984
increasing the volumes of the Community tariff quotas, opened for 1984, for certain grades of ferro-chromium falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 3187/83 (1), (EEC) No 1299/84 (2) and (EEC) No 1967/84 (3), the Council opened, for 1984, and allocated among the Member States, duty-free Community tariff quotas for ferro-chromium containing not less than 4 % by weight of carbon, or not less than 6 % by weight of carbon, falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff, the volumes of which were fixed at 9 000 and 336 000 tonnes respectively;
Whereas it can be estimated, from the economic data now available on consumption, production and imports benefiting from other preferential tariff arrangements, that Community requirements of imports from third countries for products of this kind could, during the current year, reach levels higher than the volumes laid down by the aforesaid Regulations; whereas, in order not to disturb the balance of the market for this product and to ensure parallel development in sales of Community production and supplies, in satisfactory conditions of security, to the user industries, it is appropriate to limit any increases in the volumes to 2 500 and 38 000 tonnes respectively;
Whereas, both for ferro-chromium containing not less than 4 % of carbon and for ferro-chromium containing not less than 6 % of carbon it is appropriate to divide into two instalments the volumes of the increases, the first instalment being allocated among certain Member States in proportion to their foreseeable needs, and the second held as a Community reserve to cover possible additional requirements,
The volumes of the Community tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EEC) No 3187/83, (EEC) No 1299/84 and (EEC) No 1967/84 for ferro-chromium containing not less than 4 % by weight of carbon, and not less than 6 % by weight of carbon, falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff, shall be raised from 9 000 to 11 500 tonnes and from 336 000 to 374 000 tonnes respectively.
1. A first instalment of each of the additional volumes referred to in Article 1 and amounting to 2 000 and 35 000 tonnes respectively shall be allocated among certain Member States as follows:
(a) as regards ferro-chromium containing not less than 4 % by weight of carbon:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // France // 840 // United Kingdom // 1 160
(b) as regards ferro-chromium containing not less than 6 % by weight of carbon:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 833 // Federal Republic of Germany // 833 // France // 16 667 // Italy // 16 667
2. The second instalments, being 500 and 3 000 tonnes respectively, shall constitute the reserves. The reserves provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3187/83, as amended by Regulations (EEC) No 1299/84 and (EEC) No 1967/84, shall thus be raised from 2 000 to 2 500 tonnes and from 13 000 to 16 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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 organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/28/EU
of 23 April 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include metalaxyl as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Metalaxyl is one of the substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2).
(2) As a consequence of the judgment of the Court of Justice of 18 July 2007 in Case C-326/05 P Industrias Químicas del Vallés v Commission
(3), which annulled Commission Decision 2003/308/EC (4) concerning the non-inclusion of metalaxyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1313/2007 of 8 November 2007 amending Regulations (EC) No 2076/2002 as regards the extension of the time period referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC with respect to metalaxyl and (EC) No 2024/2006 as regards the deletion of the derogation concerning metalaxyl (5) and Regulation (EC) No 416/2008 of 8 May 2008 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 as regards the assessment of the active substance metalaxyl in the framework of Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (6).
(3) Article 266 TFEU requires the institution whose act has been declared void to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice. It is therefore necessary to assess metalaxyl once more taking into account the additional information submitted.
(4) An additional assessment report has been submitted by the rapporteur Member State Portugal, which has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the Commission and finalised within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 12 March 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for metalaxyl.
(5) The review of metalaxyl did not reveal any open questions to be addressed by the European Food Safety Authority which has taken over the role of the Scientific Committee on Plants.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing metalaxyl may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include metalaxyl in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing metalaxyl can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing metalaxyl to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 December 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 January 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing metalaxyl as an active substance by 31 December 2010.
By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to metalaxyl are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing metalaxyl as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 June 2010 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning metalaxyl. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1994 amending for the third time Council Directive 91/68/EEC on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (94/953/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (1), as amended by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded, and in particular Annex A, Chapter I, (II), 2 (i) thereof,
Whereas Annex A, Chapter I, (II) (2) (i) of Directive 91/68/EEC lays down that random checks must be carried out in holdings in any Member State or region officially recognized as brucellosis-free with a view to proving that the Member State or region remains free of the disease;
Whereas, as a result of the review of this provision, which had to be carried out before the entry into force of the Accession Treaty, alternative random checks should be provided for, starting in the second year after the Member State or region is recognized as brucellosis-free;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex A, Chapter I, (II) (2) (i) of Directive 91/68/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'(i) - the first year following recognition of a Member State or region as brucellosis-free (Br. melitensis), random checks carried out at either holding or slaughterhouse level show with a confidence rating of 99 % that less than 0,2 % of the holdings were infected, or at least 10 % of the ovine and caprine animals over six months of age have undergone a test carried out in accordance with Annex C with negative results;
- annually, from the second year following recognition of a Member State or region as brucellosis-free (Br. melitensis), random checks carried out at either holding or slaughterhouse level show with a confidence rating of 95 % that less than 0,2 % of the holdings were infected, or at least 5 % of the ovine and caprine animals over six months of age have undergone a test carried out in accordance with Annex C with negative results;
- the provisions laid down in the above two indents may be amended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15.'
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1995.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1149/2006
of 27 July 2006
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 July 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3153/90
of 29 October 1990
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain products in the chemical and electronics sectors
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of activated cokes, certain liquid crystal displays and cache memory manager and controllers is currently unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas zero duty Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1990, taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products or the start-up or development of a Community production;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas, it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of these tariff quotas while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quantities drawn by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 December 1990, the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN codes (a) // Description // Amount of quota // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09.2721 // ex 3802 10 00 // Activated coke, for use in installations for the purification of smoke (1) // 1 500 tonnes // 0 // 09.2723 // ex 8531 20 90 // Liquid crystal display, consisting of a layer of liquid crystals between two glass sheets or plates, with 256 000 or more dots, mounted on a printed circuit board comprising electronic components providing drive and/or control functions // 21 000 pieces // 0 // 09.2737 // ex 8542 11 91 // Cache memory manager and controller of C-MOS technology, in the form of a monolithic integrated circuit contained in a housing whose external dimensions do not exceed 38 Ă 38 mm, with not more than 132 connecting pins or contact areas and bearing: // // // // // - an identification marking consisting of or including the following combination of figures: // // // // // 82 385 // // // // // or // // // // // - other identification markings relating to devices complying with the abovementioned description // 155 000 pieces // 0 // // // // //
(a) Taric-codes: 3802 10 00 * 10, 8531 20 90 * 50 and 8542 11 91 * 97.
(1) Control of the use for this special purpose shall be carried out pursuant to the relevant Community provisions. 2. Within the limits of these tariff quotas the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisons of the 1985 Act of Accession.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer presents a present covered by this Regulation for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups for the 2007/08 marketing year are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2007 (3).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1332/84 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas, under the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, producers' organizations may be authorized, in view of the characteristics of the market under consideration, to fix, under certain conditions, withdrawal prices above the levels referred to in Article 18 (1) (a) of that Regulation;
Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market in tomatoes grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price at a level higher than the Community withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1), it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1984 marketing year, a variation of the same order as the increase applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1985 marketing year, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ECU per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:
- June (11 to 20): 35,01
(21 to 30): 32,59
- July (1 to 10): 30,82
(11 to 20): 29,17
(21 to 31): 27,39
- August: 27,39
- September: 27,39
- October: 27,39
- November: 27,39
The producers' organizations shall supply the following information to the national authorities, who shall communicate it to the Commission:
- the period during which withdrawal prices are applicable,
- the levels of withdrawal prices proposed and of those applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 June 1985.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 807/2001(2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.
(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.
(6) Florfenicol should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(7) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for cefalonium, morantel and metamizole.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, with a view to sound administration of the supply arrangements, a timetable should be laid down for the lodging of certificate applications and for a period of reflection for their issue;
Whereas, with a view to bringing the administration of the aid more closely into line with the requirements of the Azores and Madeira, the aid and the quantities to which the latter may apply should be fixed annually per calendar year;

Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999(4) provides for refunds on certain products covered by the Regulation if they are exported as goods listed in Annex II thereto, based on the prices for those products in world trade and the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) In several agricultural sectors, in particular cereals, sugar, rice and eggs, the Commission has been given responsibility for identifying the goods that can qualify for export refunds, including goods not falling within Annex I of the Treaty, in order to ensure the flexibility needed to make the most efficient use possible of the resources available; it is therefore appropriate to give the Commission the same responsibility for identifying the goods eligible for refunds in the milk products sector,
Article 31(14) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be replaced by the following:
"14. Detailed rules for the application of this Article, including the arrangements for redistributing unallocated or unused exportable quantities, and any amendments to Annex II shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 616/78 of 20 March 1978 on proof of origin for certain textile products falling within Chapter 51 or Chapters 53 to 62 of the Common Customs Tariff and imported into the Community, and on the conditions for the acceptance of such proof
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 the arrangements to be applied from 1 January 1978 to certain textile products falling within Chapter 51 or Chapters 53 to 62 of the Common Customs Tariff and imported into the Community include quantitative limits established or agreed with certain third countries which supply the Community ; whereas in addition all imports of the said textile products are subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas it is necessary, by means of appropriate control measures, to prevent any deflection of trade or abuse which could be detrimental to the application of these arrangements ; whereas a system for the control of the origin of certain textile products imported into the Community should therefore be set up ; whereas the textile products concerned are those listed in Annex A to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3019/77 of 30 December 1977 making the importation into the Community of textile products originating in certain third countries subject to authorization and quantitative limitation (1);
Whereas, in addition, the introduction of such a system of control of origin should ensure better surveillance of imports of these products thereby constituting an indispensable support to the import arrangements for the said products;
Whereas certificates of origin are the most suitable form of documentary evidence for the most sensitive products ; whereas in the case of less sensitive products a declaration of origin on the invoice is sufficient for control purposes, provided that no serious abuse is found to occur,
When imported into the Community, textile products falling within Chapter 51 or Chapters 53 to 62 of the Common Customs Tariff, listed in Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 3019/77, must be accompanied by proof of origin in accordance with the procedures set out below.
The products listed in Groups I and II of Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 3019/77 must be accompanied by a certificate of origin complying with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods (2).
1. Products other than those referred to in Article 2 must be accompanied by a declaration by the exporter or supplier on the invoice or, if there is no invoice, on another commercial document relating to the products to the effect that they originate in the third country where the declaration was drawn up and comply with the criteria for determining origin referred to in Article 5.
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 above, certificates of origin may be issued for these products under the conditions specified in Article 2. (1)OJ No L 357, 31.12.1977, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 1.
3. Notwithstanding the production of the declaration of origin referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authorities within the Community may, if there is cause for serious doubt, demand any additional proof with the object of ensuring that the declaration of origin complies with the criteria for determining origin referred to in Article 5.
1. Each Member State shall notify the Commission of any significant abuse or irregularities in the declarations of origin referred to in Article 3. The Commission shall communicate this information to the other Member States.
2. At the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission, the Committee on origin shall, at the earliest opportunity and pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68, examine whether to require that a certificate of origin be produced for the products and third countries concerned in accordance with Article 2.
3. The decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68.
The certificates and declarations of origin referred to in this Regulation may be accepted only if they fulfil the criteria for determining origin laid down by the laws in force in the Community.
Where different criteria for determining origin are laid down for products falling within the same heading of the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature, certificates or declarations of origin must contain a sufficiently detailed description of the goods to enable the criterion to be determined on the basis of which the certificate was issued or the declaration drawn up.
1. Certificates of origin shall be issued and declarations of origin drawn up in the country in which the goods originate.
2. However, where goods are imported directly from the country of origin but arrive via another country, certificates of origin issued in the latter country shall be accepted subject to checking that such certificates are admissible on the same basis as those issued by the country of origin.
3. Paragraph 2 shall not apply if quantitative limits have been fixed or agreed for the products in question with respect to the country of issue of the certificate of origin.
1. EUR.1 and EUR.2, A.CY.1 and A.CY.2, A.E.1 and A.E.2, A.ET.1 and A.ET.2, A.RL.1 and A.RL.2 movement certificates and forms and Form A certificates of origin and APR forms produced when goods are imported into the Community for the purpose of obtaining a tariff preference shall be accepted in place of the proof of origin referred to in Article 1.
2. The proof of origin referred to in Article 1 shall not be required for goods accompanied by a certificate corresponding to the specimens and satisfying the conditions laid down by Regulations (EEC) No 2635/77 (1) and (EEC) No 2636/77 (2) and by any corresponding provisions subsequently substituted for them.
3. Paragraph 2 shall also apply to goods accompanied by a certificate corresponding to the specimen and satisfying the conditions laid down in Annex D to Regulation (EEC) No 3019/77 and by any corresponding provisions subsequently substituted for or added to it.
4. Non-commercial imports, exempted from the production of the documents referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with the provisions of the preferential arrangements concerned, shall not be subject to this Regulation.
5. The conditions whereby this Regulation shall apply to non-commercial imports other than those mentioned in paragraph 4 shall be adopted by 1 April 1979 under the procedure laid down in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68.
Until such arrangements are implemented, Member States may maintain the national arrangements which they apply in this field.
Member States shall notify the Commission of measures taken for the purpose of applying this Regulation.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, quality class III may be applied only if the products concerned are needed to meet consumer demand; whereas this appears to be the case at present for table grapes, cherries and strawberries; whereas, in view of the considerable fluctuations in production from one marketing year to another, the period of application of quality class III should be limited;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
A quality class III, as defined in the common quality standards, shall apply, for the period specified in each case, in respect of the products listed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION DECISION of 17 April 1979 on the implementation of the reform of agricultural structures in the Netherlands pursuant to Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (79/435/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (2), and in particular Article 18 (3) thereof,
Whereas on 2 February 1979 the Government of the Netherlands notified, pursuant to Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC in conjunction with Article 17 (4) of Directive 72/159/EEC, a Decision of the Foundation for the Administration of Agricultural Land of 19 December 1978 on aid to less-favoured areas;

Council Regulation (EEC) No 1133/85 of 30 April 1985 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for new potatoes falling within subheading 07.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus (1985)
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1133/85
of 30 April 1985
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for new potatoes falling within subheading 07.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus (1985)
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 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3700/83 of 22 December 1983 laying down the arrangements applicable to trade with Cyprus beyond 31 December 1983 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3628/84 (2), provides for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 60 000 tonnes of new potatoes, originating in Cyprus and falling within subheading 07.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff, at a rate of customs duty equal to 45 % of the customs duty in the Common Customs Tariff, for the period 16 May to 30 June 1985; whereas it is necessary to open this Community tariff quota for the period in question;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, having regard to the above principles, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the Community tariff quota among the Member States; whereas, in order to reflect as accurately as possible the true trend of the market in the products in question, such allocation should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States, calculated by reference to the statistics for imports from Cyprus over a representative reference period and also to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, during the last three years for which statistics are available, the corresponding imports by each of the Member States represent the following percentages of the imports into the Community from Cyprus of the products concerned:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member States // 1981 // 1982 // 1983 // // // // // Benelux // 4,0 // 4,0 // 6,2 // Denmark // - // - // - // Germany // 3,5 // 4,4 // 1,9 // Greece // - // - // - // France // - // - // - // Ireland // 0,1 // - // 0,2 // Italy // - // - // - // United Kingdom // 92,4 // 91,6 // 91,7 // // // //
Whereas, in view of these factors of market forecasts for the products in question and in particular of the estimates submitted by certain Member States, initial quota shares may be fixed approximately at the following percentages:
Benelux 5,0
Denmark 0,1
Germany 3,1
Greece 0,1
France 0,1
Ireland 0,6
Italy 0,1
United Kingdom 90,9
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota amount should be divided into two instalments, the first being shared among the Member States and the second constituting a reserve to cover at a later date the requirements of the Member States which have used up their initial quota shares; whereas, in order to give importers in each Member State a certain degree of security, the first instalment of the Community quota should under the circumstances be fixed at 90 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the Member States' initial shares may be used up at different times; whereas, in order to take this fact into account and avoid any break in continuity, any Member State which has almost used up its initial quota share should draw an additional share from the corresponding reserve; whereas this must be done by each Member State as and when each of its additional
shares is almost used up, and repeated as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must be in a position to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and to inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas if, at a given date in the quota period, a substantial quantity remains unused in any Member State, it is essential that that Member State should return a significant proportion to the reserve to prevent a part of any tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
From 16 May to 30 June 1985, the Common Customs Tariff duty for new potatoes falling within subheading 07.01 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus shall be suspended at 9,4 % within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 60 000 tonnes.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, Greece shall apply the customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1979 Act of Accession and the Protocol of Adaptation.
The protocol on the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and on methods of administrative cooperation (1), annexed to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Cyprus, shall be applicable.
1. The Community tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment amounting to 55 000 tonnes shall be allocated among the Member States; the respective shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid until 30 June 1985, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 2 750 // Denmark // 50 // Germany // 1 750 // Greece // 50 // France // 50 // Ireland // 300 // Italy // 50 // United Kingdom // 50 000
3. The second instalment of 5 000 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share as specified in Article 2 (2) or 90 % of that share minus the portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, then, to the extent permitted by the amount of the reserve, that Member State shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next unit.
2. If, after its initial share has been used up, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, then, to the extent permitted by the amount of the reserve, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up where neccessary to the next unit.
3. If, after its second share has been used up, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares smaller than those fixed in those paragraphs if there is reason to believe that they might not be used up. It shall inform the Commission of its reasons for applying this paragraph.
The additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 30 June 1985.
The Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 15 June 1985, such unused portion of their initial share as, on 10 June 1985, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a larger quantity if there are grounds for believing that this quantity may not be used.
The Member States shall notify the Commission, not later than 15 June 1985, of the total quantities of the products in question imported up to 10 June 1985 and charged against the tariff quota and of any quantity of the initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it is notified, shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall inform the Member States, not later than 20 June 1985, of the amount in the reserve after quantities have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the tariff quota.
2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge the imports of the products concerned against their shares as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports of the products concerned actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1114/2013
of 7 November 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 as regards its period of application
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 108(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid (1),
Having published a draft of this Regulation (2),
After consulting the Advisory Committee on State Aid,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 (3) will expire on 31 December 2013.
(2) In its Communication on EU State Aid Modernisation (4) of 8 May 2012 the Commission launched a wide review of State aid rules. In the context of that review, Regulation (EC) No 994/98 has already been amended by Council Regulation (EU) No 733/2013 (5). A number of other legislative instruments relevant for the assessment of State aid in the agricultural sector are still in the process of revision, in particular the future rules applicable to rural development, the new agricultural State aid guidelines, and the new general block exemption Regulation replacing Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/2008 (6). It will not be possible to finalise the adaptation of those instruments before Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 expires or they will not be fully applicable on 1 January 2014. In order to ensure a consistent approach across all State aid instruments, it is therefore appropriate to extend the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 until 30 June 2014.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) It is important to ensure continuity in implementing the rural development policy and a smooth passage from one programming period to the following. A period of overlapping application of rural development programmes and the corresponding legal provisions of the 2007-13 programming period and those of the programming period following it is inevitable. In this context, the Member States may, under certain conditions, continue to make commitments under Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (7) after the end of the programming period 2007-13 until 31 December 2015. Consequently, it is appropriate to clarify for the purposes of legal certainty that, where Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 refers to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, those criteria should continue to be applicable for the assessment of State aid under Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 during its extended period of application even after the entry into force of a new Regulation replacing Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.
(5) In the light of the extension of the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, some Member States may wish to prolong measures on which summary information has been provided in accordance with Article 20 of that Regulation. In order to reduce the administrative burden, it is appropriate to lay down that summary information regarding the prolongation of those measures is to be deemed to have been communicated to the Commission, provided that no substantive amendment is made to the measures concerned.
(6) This Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union in order to allow for the extension of the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 before it expires,
In Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
‘It shall apply from 1 January 2007 until 30 June 2014’.
Where, as a consequence of the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, a Member State wishes to prolong measures in respect of which summary information was submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 20 of that Regulation, summary information regarding the prolongation of those measures shall be deemed to have been communicated to the Commission, provided that no substantive amendment is made to the measures concerned.
Where Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 refers to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, those criteria shall continue to be applicable for the assessment of State aid under Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 during its extended period of application even after the entry into force of a new Regulation replacing Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Decision 97/126/EC of 6 December 1996 concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands, of the other part (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (3), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision No 1/2005 of the EC/Denmark-Faeroe Islands Joint Committee (4) has amended Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands, of the other part (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), approved by Council Decision 97/126/EC, as concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation.
(2) The Council has decided on 13 June 2007 about the Community position concerning an amendment of Protocol 4 to the Agreement.
(3) Decision No 1/2007 of the EC/Denmark-Faeroe Islands Joint Committee (6) amending Protocol 4 of the Agreement amends in particular the annual tariff quota quantity for quota order No 09.0689.
(4) Point 1 of the second paragraph of Article 1 of Protocol 4 of the Agreement as amended by Decision No 1/2007 of the EC/Denmark-Faeroe Islands Joint Committee, provides that for this tariff quota opened for fish feed under CN codes ex 2309 90 10, ex 2309 90 31 and ex 2309 90 41, Faeroese authorities shall certify that fish feed exported to the EU under this preferential quota does not contain added gluten, in addition to the gluten naturally present in the cereals that may enter in the compounding of the fish feed.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 860/2001
of 2 May 2001
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation 1527/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 May 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC(2), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC(3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
(1) Whereas according to the provisions of Directives 97/78/EC and 91/496/EEC measures shall be taken if, in the territory of a third country, a disease referred to in Council Directive 82/894/EEC of 21 December 1982 on the notification of animal diseases within the Community(4), as last amended by Decision 98/12/EC(5), or other disease or any other phenomenon or circumstance liable to present a serious threat to animal or public health manifests itself or spreads;
(2) Whereas Directive 82/894/EEC refers to Newcastle disease;
(3) Whereas on outbreak of Newcastle disease can quickly take on epizootic proportions, causing high mortality rates and is therefore liable to present a serious threat to the health of birds;
(4) Whereas Newcastle disease has been confirmed in poultry flocks in certain regions of Australia;
(5) Whereas Australia has provided satisfactory guarantees to ensure that the disease may not spread from the infected area to other regions of the Australian territory;
(6) Whereas imports of live birds, hatching eggs and fresh meat of poultry, farmed and wild feathered game meat should be temporarily suspended from the area of risk;
(7) Whereas the health certificates used for these animals and products from other regions of Australia must be amended accordingly;
(8) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
As regards Australia, Member States shall authorise the importation of live birds, hatching eggs and fresh meat of poultry, farmed feathered game meat and wild feathered game only if they originate from the region described in the Annex to this Decision.

The following words shall be included in the animal health certificate used by the Member States for the import of birds, hatching eggs or fresh meat thereof other than those mentioned in Articles 2 and 3 originating in Australia: "Birds*/hatching eggs*/fresh meat* in accordance with Article 4 of Decision 1999/549/EC (*: Delete as appropriate)".
This Decision shall apply until 1 December 1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 847/97 of 12 May 1997 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
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 Regulation (EC) No 519/94 (1), introduced, in respect of the People's Republic of China, the quotas listed in Annex II to that Regulation and surveillance measures listed in Annex III thereto;
Whereas the Council's objective in establishing the quotas was to strike a balance between an appropriate level of protection for the Community industries concerned and maintenance of an acceptable level of trade with China, taking into account the various interests in play;
Whereas analysis of the main economic indicators, in particular the volume and market share of Chinese imports, leads to the conclusion that the quota on glass tableware falling within HS/CN code 7013 should be abolished as from 1 January 1998 and that such abolition would be neither inconsistent with the above objective nor liable to disrupt the Community market;
Whereas the products in respect of which the quota is abolished by this Regulation should, however, be subject to prior Community surveillance, in order to ensure adequate monitoring of the volume and prices of the imports of the products concerned;
Whereas the quota on toys falling within HS/CN codes 9503 41, 9503 49 and 9503 90 includes parts and accessories of toys; whereas, in light of the experience of the Community producers, the effects of this inclusion go beyond what is necessary for the appropriate protection of the Community industry concerned; whereas parts and accessories of toys should therefore be excluded from the quota;
Whereas it is no longer considered necessary to maintain surveillance measures on a range of products of which the imports in 1995 were negligible or lower than in 1994; whereas they should be removed from the list of products subject to surveillance measures;
Whereas the quantitative quotas and the surveillance measures introduced pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 should therefore be amended,
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 shall be replaced by the Annexes which appear in Annexes I and II to this Regulation respectively, until 31 December 1997.
As from 1 January 1998, Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 shall be replaced by the Annexes which appear in Annexes III and IV to this Regulation respectively.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII, XIV by vessels flying the flag of a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal have reached the quota allocated to the Member States apart from Spain and Portugal for 1993;
Whereas catches of horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII, XIV by vessels flying the flag of Spain and Portugal or registered in Spain and Portugal have not reached the flat-rate quantity allocated to Spain or the quantity allocated to Portugal,
Catches of horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII, XIV by vessels flying the flag of a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the Community apart from Spain and Portugal for 1993.
Fishing for horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII, XIV flying the flag of a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/56/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Union and complying with that Directive.
(2) However, as work to establish a Union equivalence for seed potatoes from all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Directive 2002/56/EC permitted Member States to extend until 31 March 2011 the validity of equivalence decisions which they had already taken for seed potatoes from certain third countries not covered by a Union equivalence. This date was chosen by reference to the end of the period where seed potatoes are placed on the market.
(3) Since this work still has not been completed and a new marketing season will start by the end of the year 2011, it is necessary to authorise Member States to extend the validity of their national equivalence decisions.
(4) Directive 2002/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In the first subparagraph of Article 21(3) of Directive 2002/56/EC, ‘31 March 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2014’.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1223/2011
of 28 November 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 as regards sampling of flocks of origin of eggs and the microbiological examination of such samples and samples of certain meat intended for Finland and Sweden
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. That Regulation provides special guarantees for food of animal origin intended for the Finnish and Swedish markets. Accordingly, food business operators intending to place eggs on the market in those Member States are to comply with certain rules in respect of Salmonella.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 of 14 October 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards special guarantees concerning Salmonella for consignments to Finland and Sweden of certain meat and eggs (2) lays down rules on the sampling of flocks of origin of eggs intended for Finland and Sweden. It also lays down rules on the microbiological methods for the examination of those samples as well as samples of certain meat intended for those two Member States from bovine and porcine animals and from poultry.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (3) lays down rules to ensure that effective measures are taken to control Salmonella and other zoontic agents. Those measures include minimum sampling requirements in all flocks of laying hens within the framework of national control programmes for Salmonella.
(4) Commission Regulation (EU) No 517/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Union target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain Salmonella serotypes in laying hens of Gallus gallus and amending Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and Regulation (EU) No 200/2010 (4) lays down rules concerning a testing scheme to verify progress on the achievement of the Union target to reduce the prevalence of those serotypes in flocks of laying hens.
(5) The requirements laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003 and (EU) No 517/2011 apply to all flocks of laying hens in the Union. Accordingly, in the interests of simplification of Union legislation and to avoid the duplication of sampling, the sampling rules laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003, (EC) No 1688/2005 and (EU) No 517/2011 should be harmonised.
(6) In particular, the sampling rules applicable to flocks set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should be replaced by the corresponding rules laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003 and (EU) No 517/2011. As the rules laid down in those two Regulations are more stringent, the special guarantees to Finland and Sweden are not jeopardised by such amendment. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should therefore be deleted.
(7) In addition, the International Organization for Standardization adopted a new standard specific for the detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in environmental samples from the primary production stage, in particular EN/ISO standard 6579-2002/Amd1:2007 Annex D: Detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in environmental samples from the primary production stage. That standard should be used for samples taken in flocks of origin of eggs in the Union. Accordingly, the sampling rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should be amended to refer to that standard.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 is amended as follows:
(1) Articles 4 and 5 are replaced by the following:
(a) the minimum sampling requirements for laying flocks laid down in the table set out in point 1 of part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003;
(b) the requirements for monitoring in laying flocks set out in point 2 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 517/2011.
(a) in case of samples of meat as referred to in Articles 1, 2 and 3:
(i) EN/ISO 6579: Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs – Horizontal method for the detection of Salmonella spp;
(ii) NMKL (Nordic Committee on Food Analysis) method No 71: Salmonella. Detection in food; or
(iii) methods validated for meat against the methods referred to in (i) and (ii) or other internationally accepted protocols, provided that they are:
— used on meat from bovine and porcine animals and from poultry, and
— certified by a third party in accordance with the protocol set out in standard EN/ISO 16140 Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - Protocol for the validation of alternative methods (EN/ISO 16140).
(b) in case of samples of flocks as referred to in Article 4: EN/ISO 6579-2002/Amd1:2007 Annex D: Detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in environmental samples from the primary production stage.
(2) Annex III is deleted.
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 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 1553/95 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (2), and in particular Article 11 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 8 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid for cotton (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/96 (4), provides that all cotton growers must send an annual declaration of areas sown before a date set by the Member State concerned and, except in cases of force majeure, not later than 1 July; whereas strikes by the public services in Greece have severely disrupted the submission of those declarations for the year 1996;
Whereas, as a result, a deadline after 1 July should be set for the year 1996 in the case of Greece;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
The following second paragraph is added to Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89:
'However, for the year 1996, in the case of Greece, the date 1 July is replaced by 1 August.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1462/95 of 27 June 1995 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 424/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 (1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas under the WTO Agreement the Community has undertaken to open an annual import tariff quota of 169 000 head of young male bovine animals for fattening; whereas the rules of application for the quota year 1995/96 starting 1 July 1995 must be established;
Whereas in accordance with Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 the administration of the quota should take into account the traditional pattern of trade in the animals concerned;
Whereas the supply requirements of certain regions of the Community which have a serious shortfall in bovine animals for fattening should be taken into account; whereas, as those requirements are apparent particularly in Italy and Greece, priority should be given to satisfying the demand in those two Member States;
Whereas, in order to ensure a smooth transition from arrangements based on the so-called balance sheet to arrangements related to the present tariff quota, appropriate provisions should be laid down, in particular through a continuation of the method of allocation between traditional importers and operators proving active trading in live animals with third countries;
Whereas in the framework of the implementation of the WTO Agreement the detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences in the beef sector, presently provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94 (5), should be modified before 1 July 1995; whereas, in order to prevent practical problems of application linked to the present tariff quota, Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 should not apply; whereas special detailed rules on import licences for that quota should be adopted instead; whereas those special detailed rules should take priority over the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (7);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, imports into the Community of live animals under the present tariff quota are subject to presentation of an import licence; whereas the application of this tariff quota requires strict surveillance of imports and effective checks as to their use and destination; whereas therefore importation must take place in the Member State which issued the import licence;
Whereas a security shall be lodged in order to guarantee that the animals are fattened for at least 120 days in designated production units; whereas the amount of the security should be fixed taking into account the difference between the customs duties applicable inside and outside the quota;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 990/93 (8) prohibits trade between the European Community and the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro; whereas these Republics are therefore excluded from the arrangements provided for in this Regulation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 612/77 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1121/87 (10), should be repealed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. A tariff quota of 169 000 head of live male bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49 and intended for fattening in the Community is hereby opened for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 355/2013
of 18 April 2013
approving the active substance maltodextrin, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For maltodextrin the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2008/20/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 8 October 2008 an application from Biological Crop Protection Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance maltodextrin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2008/20/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant (now Certis Europe B.V.). The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 29 November 2011.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance maltodextrin (4) on 3 December 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the draft assessment report was finalised on 15 March 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for maltodextrin.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing maltodextrin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve maltodextrin.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing maltodextrin. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance maltodextrin, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing maltodextrin as an active substance by 31 March 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing maltodextrin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 September 2013 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing maltodextrin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing maltodextrin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 758/2006
of 18 May 2006
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
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 organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 May 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 April 2004
on the State aid which Italy intends to provide to firms marketing beef and veal in the province of Brescia
(notified under document number C(2004) 1377)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2006/249/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having invited interested parties to make their comments pursuant to that Article,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) By letter of 27 July 2001, registered as received on 1 August 2001, the Office of the Italian Permanent Representative to the European Union notified the Commission of aid for the purchase of equipment to ensure the provenance and quality of beef and veal.
(2) By letters of 15 October 2001 (registered as received on 16 October 2001) and 26 February 2002 (registered as received on 27 February 2002), the Office of the Italian Permanent Representative to the European Union sent the Commission the additional information requested from the Italian authorities by letters of 12 September 2001 and 28 November 2001.
(3) By letter of 24 April 2002, the Commission notified Italy of its decision to initiate in respect of that aid the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.
(4) The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities
(1) on 18 June 2002. The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid in question.
(5) The Commission received no comments from interested parties.
(6) By letter of 25 June 2002, registered as received on 27 June 2002, Italy sent the Commission further information on the planned measure.
II. DESCRIPTION
(7) Aid for the purchase of equipment to ensure the provenance and quality of beef and veal.
(8) Funds budgeted for this measure amounted to €103 291,38 (ITL 200 million), to be provided by the Brescia Chamber of Commerce.
(9) To the end of 2001.
(10) Small and medium-sized firms employing no more than 20 people whose registered office and operations were located in the province of Brescia, which had no pending disputes with social security bodies, were up to date with their contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, were not in administration, had not compounded with their creditors and were not bankrupt.
(11) The aid measure was to contribute to the purchase of scales linked to a computer system (hardware and software) which could certify the provenance of beef and veal and the inspection by the Brescia Centre for the qualitative improvement of milk and beef and veal.
(12) In the original version of the measure, the beneficiaries of the aid were small and medium-sized firms in the services sector which sold meat and, to a much lesser extent, firms selling meat direct to consumers. However, the latter category is now excluded, as the Italian authorities stated in their letter of 25 June 2002. In the final version only small and medium-sized firms engaged in marketing (slaughterhouses) which sell certified beef and veal are eligible.
(13) In the original version of the measure, the aid was modulated as follows:
40 % of the purchase price of the scales for meat-marketing firms;
50 % for firms selling meat direct to the consumer in the disadvantaged areas of the province;
40 % for firms selling meat direct to the consumer in the non-disadvantaged areas of the province.
However, following the exclusion of the firms selling meat direct to the consumer, the intensity of the aid is now 40 %.
(14) The contribution granted to each firm may not exceed €1 291,15 (ITL 2,5 million).
(15) This aid may not be cumulated with other aid granted by the State or other public bodies.
(16) Applications made before the date of publication of call for expressions of interest are not eligible. The grant of the aid is in any case subject to its approval by the Commission.
III. INITIATION OF THE PROCEDURE UNDER ARTICLE 88(2) OF THE EC TREATY
(17) The Commission initiated the procedure under Article 88(2) of the Treaty because it had doubts as to whether the scheme was compatible with the common market.
(18) The first ground for its doubts arose from certain gaps in the information communicated by Italy.
(19) First of all, the Italian authorities had provided no information on compliance with minimum environmental, hygiene and animal welfare standards. The Chamber of Commerce simply noted that compliance with these standards was not something for which it was responsible.
(20) Secondly, the Chamber of Commerce made no comments on the existence of market outlets for the products in question.
(21) Because of these omissions, the Commission had doubts about compliance with some of the conditions laid down at points 4.2 and 4.3 of the Community Guidelines on State aid in the agricultural sector.
(22) A further problem which arose during the preliminary enquiry was the check on the non-cumulation of grants. In view of the organisation of the scheme, the Commission suggested establishing, in liaison with the Region of Lombardy, a system for checking on the non-cumulation of the aid. In the further information it sent to the Commission, the Chamber of Commerce expressed its willingness to check 10 % of the applications made. The Commission considered that figure inadequate because it could not exclude the possibility of beneficiaries receiving grants from a number of sources and so exceeding the eligible percentages.
IV. COMMENTS BY ITALY
(23) In its letter of 25 June 2002, registered as received on 26 June 2002, Italy undertook to grant the aid only to slaughterhouses marketing beef and veal certified in accordance with the rules laid down by the Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies. These holdings had been previously inspected for compliance with environmental, hygiene and animal welfare standards.
(24) Italy also stated that the existence of market outlets was assured by the fact that beneficiaries were firms engaged in retail trade.
(25) As regards compliance with the criterion of the non-cumulation of aid, the Italian authorities gave assurances that the rules on cumulation would be checked for all beneficiaries in liaison with the Region of Lombardy.
V. APPRAISAL OF THE AID
(26) Under Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, incompatible with the common market. The measures covered by the decision in question correspond to this definition for the following reasons.
(27) The finance provided by the Chambers of Commerce may be regarded as public finance within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty since firms are required to join these public law bodies and pay subscriptions to them. Furthermore, in the past, the Commission has regarded measures adopted by Italian Chambers of Commerce as State aids (2).
(28) The measures favour certain small and medium-sized firms engaged in the marketing of agricultural products.
(29) The measures may have an effect on trade in view of the importance of the marketing of processed products (which account for a substantial part of agricultural trade: e.g. in 1998 Italy imported agricultural products worth ECU 15,222 billion and exported products worth ECU 9,679 billion; during that year trade in agricultural products within the EU amounted to ECU 128,256 billion in imports and ECU 132,458 billion in exports).
(30) However, in cases covered by Article 87(2) and (3) of the Treaty, some measures may enjoy derogations to be considered compatible with the common market.
(31) The only possible derogation in this case is laid down in Article 87(3)(c), according to which aid may be considered compatible with the common market if it is found to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
(32) To benefit from the derogation referred to in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty, aid for investments in the sector of the processing and marketing of agricultural products must comply with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products (3). Where that Regulation does not apply, or if all the requirements laid down are not met, the aid must be appraised in the light of the relevant provisions of the Community guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector (4) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community guidelines’.
(33) Since the scheme in question is limited to small and medium-sized firms engaged in marketing, Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 applies. In particular, the appraisal of the compatibility of aid for investment in the processing and/or marketing of agricultural products must be based on Article 7 of that Regulation.
(34) Under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1/2004, aid for investment in the processing and/or marketing of agricultural products may be granted provided it satisfies the following conditions:
a) the aid may be granted only to agricultural holdings which are economically viable;
b) these firms must comply with minimum standards as regards the environment, hygiene and animal welfare;
c) the intensity of the aid may not exceed 50 % of eligible investments in the Objective 1 regions and 40 % elsewhere;
d) eligible expenditure includes the construction, purchase and improvement of real estate, new machinery and equipment, general expenditure;
e) there must be adequate proof of the existence in future of normal market outlets for the products in question. An assessment of the existence of normal market outlets should be carried out by a public body or a third party independent of the beneficiary of the aid;
f) aid should not be restricted to a specific agricultural product.
(35) However, the description of the measure shows that, contrary to the requirement at f) above, this investment is restricted to the beef/veal sector. Accordingly, not all the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 are satisfied and so the aid should be appraised in the light of the Community guidelines.
(36) In the information which it sent by the letter of 25 June 2002, the Italian authorities stated that the aid would be granted only to marketing firms (slaughterhouses) selling certified beef and veal. As a result of that change, the provisions which must be respected for the derogation under Article 87(3) (c) of the Treaty to apply are those at point 4.2 of the Community guidelines (“Aid for investment in the processing and marketing of agricultural products”).
(37) Under point 4.2 of the Community guidelines, aid for investment in the processing and/or marketing sector may be authorised if the following conditions are satisfied:
a) the beneficiaries must be holdings which have demonstrated their profitability;
b) these holdings must comply with minimum rules as regards the environment, hygiene and animal welfare;
c) the intensity of the aid may not exceed 50 % of the eligible investment in Objective 1 regions and 40 % elsewhere;
d) eligible expenditure includes the construction, purchase and improvement of real property, the purchase of new machinery and equipment and general expenditure;
e) there must be normal market outlets for the products in question.
(38) As regards the criterion of economic viability, the conditions of eligibility for the aid, and specifically the exclusion of firms in administration, which have compounded with their creditors or are bankrupt, ensure compliance with the criterion at a).
(39) As far as the minimum rules as regards the environment, hygiene and animal welfare are concerned, which was one of the reasons why the Commission initiated proceedings under Article 88(2) of the Treaty, the Italian authorities, in their letter of 25 June 2002, undertook to grant the aid only to slaughterhouses which marketed beef and veal which was certified in accordance with the rules authorised by the Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies. These holdings had already been checked as regards their compliance with the rules on the environment, hygiene and animal welfare. Accordingly, the criterion at b) may be considered to have been met.
(40) Since only marketing firms are eligible for the aid, the amount of the aid is fixed at 40% of the eligible expenditure with no possibility of modulation. That intensity complies with the criterion at c).
(41) The aid is intended for the purchase of scales or equipment which fall within the definition of eligible expenditure at d).
(42) As regards market outlets, in their letter of 25 June 2002 the Italian authorities provided information, the lack of which had led the Commission to doubt whether the aid was compatible with the common market. In particular, since the beneficiaries are economically viable marketing firms and the proposed investment does not increase productive capacity, the criterion at e) may be considered satisfied.
(43) Another point which had led the Commission to initiate proceedings under Article 88(2) of the Treaty is the mechanism for checking on the cumulation of aid, which appeared inadequate. However, in their letter of 25 June 2002 the Italian authorities undertook to check all the applications for aid in liaison with the Region of Lombardy. This removed the doubts which the Commission had had.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
(44) In the light of the above, the Commission considers that the aid which the Brescia Chamber of Commerce intends to grant to firms marketing beef and veal for the purchase of scales is compatible with the common market, since it complies with point 4.2 of the Community guidelines for the agricultural sector. The aid measure may therefore benefit from the derogation under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty,
The State aid which Italy intends to implement for certain firms marketing beef and veal in the province of Brescia is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Implementation of this aid is therefore authorised.
This decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2104/2001(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 548/2002(5).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 2609/2001,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 548/2002 are hereby replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 April 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 of 24 July 1990 laying down additional general rules on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products as regards cheese (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 1, the second subparagraph of Article 3 (3) and Article 5 thereof,
Whereas the first paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 stipulates that the use of casein and caseinates in the manufacture of cheese is subject to prior authorization; whereas it is necessary to lay down detailed rules for the grant of such authorizations, having regard to the requirements as regards checks on undertakings; whereas authorizations should be granted for a limited period, so that the Member States can impose penalties for failure to comply with Community provisions;
Whereas the second paragraph of Article 1 of the said Regulation stipulates that the maximum percentages of casein and caseinates to be incorporated in cheese must be determined on the basis of objective criteria laid down having regard to what is technologically necessary; whereas it is necessary to determine the said percentages on the basis of data supplied by the Member States; whereas, in order to facilitate checks to ensure compliance with this provision, it is advisable to set overall percentages rather than percentages for individual products;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of the said Regulation requires Member States to introduce administrative and physical controls; whereas it is necessary to specify the conditions which these controls should fulfil, particularly with regard to their frequency;
Whereas Article 3 (3) of the said Regulation states that a sum equal to the difference between the value of the skimmed milk resulting from the intervention price for skimmed milk powder on the one hand and the market price for casein and caseinates on the other hand, plus 10 %, is due for quantities of caseins and caseinates used without authorization; whereas this sum has to be determined having regard to prices recorded on the markets during a reference period;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Authorizations mentioned in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 shall be granted for a period of 12 months, at the request of the undertakings concerned subject to their giving a prior undertaking in writing to accept and comply with the provisions of Article 3 (1) (a) and (b) on the one hand, and (c) on the other, of the aforementioned Regulation.
2. Authorizations shall be issued with a serial number for each undertaking or, where necessary, for each production unit.
3. Authorizations may cover one or more types of cheese, in accordance with the application made by the undertaking concerned.
1. The maximum percentages to be incorporated, as referred to in the second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90, are given in the Annex to this Regulation. They shall apply to the weight of the types of cheese set out in the Annex produced by the undertaking or production unit concerned during a six-month period.
2. The list of products given in the Annex and the maximum percentages relating thereto shall be adjusted to take account of reasoned applications providing evidence that there is a technological need for the addition of casein or caseinates.
1. The stock accounts referred to in Article 3 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 shall include information as to the origin, composition and quantity of the raw materials used in the manufacture of the cheeses. Member States may require samples to be taken to provide a check on this information. Member States shall ensure that the information collected from undertakings is treated as confidential.
2. The checks referred to in Article 3 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 must fulfil the following requirements:
(a) at least 30 % of the undertakings in receipt of authorizations shall be checked each quarter;
(b) each undertaking in receipt of an authorization shall be checked at least once per year, and undertakings producing more than 300 tonnes of cheese per year shall be checked at least twice per year.
3. Within a period of one month from when the infringement was recorded, Member States shall notify the Commission of cases in which casein and/or caseinates have been used either without authorization or without abiding by the percentages laid down.
1. The sum due in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 shall be ECU 225 per 100 kilograms of casein and/or caseinates, having regard to the price of casein and caseinates recorded on the markets in the second quarter of 1990.
2. The sums recovered in this way shall be paid to the paying departments and agencies and offset by them against expenditure financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.
In addition to the notifications required under Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90, Member States shall submit to the Commission before the end of each quarter the following information on the previous quarter:
1. the number of authorizations granted and/or revoked,
2. the quantities of casein and caseinates declared in respect of these authorizations, broken down by type of cheese.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 October 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Decision
of 22 September 2003
on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions
(2004/484/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133, in conjunction with Article 300(2), subparagraph 1, first sentence, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, hereinafter referred to as "the Europe Agreement"(1), provides for certain reciprocal trade concessions for certain agricultural products.
(2) Article 20(4) of the Europe Agreement provides that the Community and Latvia shall examine product by product and on an orderly and reciprocal basis the possibilities of granting each other further concessions.
(3) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the existing preferential arrangements, approved by Decision 1999/790/EC(2).
(4) Improvements to the preferential arrangements were also provided for as a result of negotiations to liberalise agricultural trade concluded in 2000. On the Community side, these were implemented from 1 July 2000 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2341/2000 of 17 October 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Latvia(3). This second adjustment of the preferential arrangements has not yet been incorporated in the Europe Agreement in the form of an Additional Protocol.
(5) Negotiations for further improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were concluded on 4 April 2002. The results of the negotiations have so far been implemented by the respective parties in the form of autonomous measures, applicable as from 1 July 2002. On the Community side, the autonomous measures were implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 1362/2002 of 22 July 2002 establishing concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Latvia(4). Similar legislative measures were adopted and implemented by the Republic of Latvia.
(6) The new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as "the Protocol") should be approved with a view to consolidating all concessions in agricultural trade between the two sides, including the results of the negotiations concluded in 2000 and 2002.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(5) has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Certain tariff quotas in this Decision should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6).
(9) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 1362/2002 has effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,
The Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Protocol is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol on behalf of the Community and give the notification of approval provided for in Article 4 of the Protocol.
1. Upon this Decision taking effect, the arrangements provided for in the Annexes to the Protocol attached to this Decision shall replace those referred to in Annexes Va, X and XI as referred to in Article 20(2), as amended, of the Europe Agreement.
2. The Commission shall adopt rules for the application of the Protocol in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5.
The order numbers as attributed to the tariff quotas in the Annex to this Decision may be changed by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5. Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee for Cereals instituted by Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(7) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its Rules of Procedure.
Regulation (EC) No 1362/2002 shall be repealed from the entry into force of the Protocol.

amending Decision 2006/241/EC as regards imports of guano from Madagascar
(notified under document C(2010) 6798)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/611/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/241/EC of 24 March 2006 concerning certain protective measures with regard to certain products of animal origin, excluding fishery products, originating in Madagascar (2) prohibits imports into the Union of products of animal origin, excluding fishery products and snails, originating in Madagascar.
(2) Madagascar has indicated its interest in exporting guano to the Union.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (3) provides that the importation and transit of animal by-products and processed products are to be prohibited, except in accordance with that Regulation.
(4) Under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, manure is Category 2 material. The definition of manure, as set out in Annex I to that Regulation, covers guano, which may be either unprocessed or processed in accordance with Chapter III of Annex VIII to that Regulation. Part III of that Chapter provides that the placing on the market of guano is not subject to any animal health conditions.
(5) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides that the provisions applicable to the importation from third countries of products referred to in Annexes VII and VIII thereto are to be no more favourable or less favourable than those applicable to the production and marketing of those products in the Union.
(6) Imports of Guano from Madagascar should therefore no longer be prohibited.
(7) Decision 2006/241/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 1 of Decision 2006/241/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 1
This Decision shall apply to products of animal origin, excluding fishery products, snails and guano, originating in Madagascar.’.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2717/93 of 28 September 1993 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content by weight of maximum 0,5 % (low carbon ferro-chrome), originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2717/93 of 28 September 1993 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content by weight of maximum 0,5 % (low carbon ferro-chrome), originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine
THE COUNCIL 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 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures (1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 797/93 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of ferro-chrome with a carbon content by weight of maximum 0,5 % (low carbon ferro-chrome), originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.
The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 2078/93 (3), extended this duty for a period not exceeding two months.
B. Subsequent procedure (2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, a number of the interested parties made submissions to the Commission making known their views of the findings which were taken account of as considered appropriate. Those who so requested were also granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission.
(3) Parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of the definitive duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of a provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.
(4) The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered and, where appropriate, the Commission's findings were modified to take account of them.
C. Product under investigation and like product 1. Origin of the imported product
(5) The Russian exporter which accounted for more than 80 % of Community imports of the product concerned claimed to be unable to determine the origin of the product exported since it was sold from a central stock of the former USSR. It was not disputed that most of these stocks originated in the three countries concerned. As to the remainder the exporter alleged that this merchandise may have been supplied by a producer located in Georgia. Since, however, no evidence has been submitted to substantiate this allegation and in view of the fact that no imports originating in Georgia appear in Eurostat statistics since the date where statistical information is provided for each of the new republics, it can be safely assumed that the quantities exported by this exporter do not include materials from Georgia.
2. Like product
(6) In its Regulation (EEC) No 797/93 (see recitals 8 to 11) the Commission had established that the different grades of low carbon ferro-chrome were sufficiently alike to constitute one like product within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(7) Interested parties, however, continued to argue that due to differences in prices between the different grades of low carbon ferro-chrome depending on the carbon content of the product, low carbon ferro-chrome did not comprise one single product and the Commission should distinguish in its final determination between low carbon ferro-chrome with a carbon content above 0,06 % and low carbon ferro-chrome below 0,05 % carbon content should be excluded from the scope of the measure since only small quantities were exported to the Community.
(8) The Commission could not accept these arguments since they were not supported by evidence received in the course of the investigation. In this context the Commission notes that:
(a) documents made available in the investigation show that the cost of production for low carbon ferro-chrome does not depend on the level of the carbon content since most grades with a carbon content below 0,5 % result from one identical production process;
(b) information supplied by the exporter mentioned in recital 5 show that sales of low carbon ferro-chrome whose carbon content varied by margins of 30 to 50 % were invoiced at the same price and with an identical product designation, and that
(c) most customers order a wide range of grades with specific carbon contents. These specifications, however, are usually intended to indicate only the rate within which the carbon content of the ferro-chrome can vary;
(d) furthermore, the documents submitted by the exporter show that for transactions invoiced with a carbon content of 0,06 % most of the products actually exported had a carbon content of 0,05 % and less. This concerns an export volume of more than 1 500 tonnes of ferro-chrome in the investigation period; it can therefore be assumed that the trade statistics understate to a considerable extent the imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content of 0,05 % or less.
(9) The Council, therefore, confirms the Commission's opinion that low carbon ferro-chrome with different grades of carbon content are essentially interchangeable and sufficiently alike to constitute one single product. To exclude low carbon ferro-chrome with a carbon content of 0,05 % or less on the ground that the volume of transactions is negligable is not justified in view of the findings made in the investigation.
D. Community industry (10) After the imposition of the provisional duties, interested parties repeated their request that Elektrowerk Weisweiler GmbH (hereinafter referred to as EWW), the sole Community producer should be excluded from the proceeding as part of the Community industry, in accordance with Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 since EWW or a related company allegedly negotiated with certain producers in the countries concerned about a possible purchase of low carbon ferro-chrome. Since no evidence concerning imports of low carbon ferro-chrome by the Community producer or its group had been submitted, the Council confirms that the request to exclude this company from forming part of Community industry is unfounded.
E. Dumping 1. Normal value
(11) Since all three countries concerned are non market economy countries the Commission in its provisional determination established normal value in accordance with Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, on the basis of data pertaining to a market economy third country (analogue country) (see recital 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93). Since the South African producer of low carbon ferro-chrome which was proposed by the complainants did not cooperate during the investigation the Commission requested information from a producer of ferro-chrome in Zimbabwe. After the imposition of the provisional duty it received the information requested from this producer which, however, did not allow verification of the information at its premises. Nevertheless, since the information submitted was complete and conclusive there was no indication that it was incorrect. The Commission therefore used this information to establish the normal value on the basis of the cost of production in Zimbabwe as an analogue market plus a profit of 5 % and the Council confirms this approach.
2. Export price
(12) Since no exporter from the countries concerned submitted export prices and quantities within the deadline set by the Commission after the initiation of the proceeding (see recital 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93) the Commission provisionally established export prices on the basis of the average import price of the Community trade statistics (see recital 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93).
(13) After the imposition of the provisional duties one Russian exporter which replied to the questionnaire but did not supply full details of its exports submitted evidence concerning its export prices and quantities. In view of the extraordinary economic and social situation prevailing in the exporting countries and since these exports accounts for more than 80 % in the Community imports of the products concerned the information was taken into account for the final determination of the export price.
(14) The export price was therefore established on the basis of prices and quantities shown in the information submitted by the Russian exporter. Only shipments destined for a port in the Community were taken into account.
The Council confirms this approach.
3. Comparison
(15) For the comparison, export prices and normal value were converted into ecus. Since the currency of Zimbabwe had devalued significantly in the second half of 1991 separate normal values were established for the shipments effected in the third and fourth quarters of the year 1991 and the first half of the year 1992.
(16) Export prices were compared on a fob Russian export harbour basis with a normal value at ex-works Zimbabwe level. Due allowances were made for differences in physical characteristics as described in recital 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93.
4. Dumping margin
(17) Normal value and export prices were compared on a transaction by transaction basis. The final examination of the results of this comparison showed the existence of dumping in respect of ferro-chrome with a carbon content by weight of maximum 0,5 % originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeded the price for export to the Community.
(18) The dumping margin amounts to ECU 0,31 per kilogram low carbon ferro-chrome which corresponds to 44,89 % of the cif value, free at Community border.
The Council confirms the dumping margin as established above.
F. Injury 1. Injury factors
(19) The comments of the parties concerned with respect to injury after the imposition of the provisional duty did not contain any new aspects to rebut the facts of the investigation as they are set out in recitals 21 to 28 to Regulation (EEC) No 797/93. The Commission established in particular, that, contrary to allegations made by certain interested parties, imports from the countries concerned did not decrease in 1992 but rose by more than 10 % to 16 308 tonnes.
(20) Under these conditions, the Commission maintains its conclusion that the Community producer suffered material injury and the Council confirms the determination.
2. Causality
(21) In recital 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93 the Commission provisionally established that in view of the significant increase in quantities and market share together with the high level of price undercutting, which in a transparent market with a limited number of operators, put the Community producer in a precarious competitive position, the imports in question had caused injury to the Community industry. Since the comments of the parties concerned with respect to causality after the imposition of the provisional duty did not contain any new aspects the Commission maintains and the Council confirms the findings and conclusions mentioned above.
(22) With reference to other factors, several interested parties repeated their comments concerning the imposition of the provisional duty that the injury suffered by the Community producer was caused by imports from other third countries (South Africa, Zimbabwe etc.) and that Community producer's economic difficulties were the result of a change in technology of the stainless steel production which had led to a reduction in the consumption of low carbon ferro-chrome.
(23) These submissions, did not rebut the facts as set out in recitals 31 to 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93, which showed that:
(a) the imports from other major suppliers to the Community market had reduced considerably;
(b) the prices at which these quantities were sold in the Community market did not or only to a very small extent undercut the Community producer's prices; and
(c) the consumption of low carbon ferro-chrome in the Community had slightly increased.
(24) In addition, with regard to imports reported under the country heading 'secret' (see recital 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93) the Commission received information which supported the assumption that considerable quantities of these imports originated in the three countries concerned.
(25) In view of these facts, the Commission maintains and the Council confirms the conclusion that the dumped imports originating in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine have caused material injury to the Community industry.
G. Community interest (26) In evaluating the Community interest, the Commission concluded in its provisional determination (see recitals 37 to 40 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/93) that anti-dumping measures would have a positive effect on competition in the Community, as it would allow traditionally strong competitors to re-enter the Community market and give the sole Community producer the possibility of participating in this competition. This would prevent the Community from being totally dependent on a restricted number of exporters for a product which is recognized as being of strategic importance for which some Member States have developed a national stockpiling programme.
(27) In considering the interest of the consumers of low carbon ferro-chrome the Commission established that the input of this product in the production of stainless steel is below 0,1 % and concluded that a measure on the imports in question would not weaken the competitiveness of the stainless steel industry in the Community. The Commission, therefore, determined that in the present case, it is in the interest of the Community to grant protection to the Community industry against unfair competition from dumped imports.
(28) Following the imposition of the provisional duty no interested party submitted new arguments or disputed the findings. The Council therefore confirms these findings and concludes that it is in the Community interest to adopt anti-dumping measures to eliminate the injurious effects to the dumped imports and that these measures should take the form of anti-dumping duties.
H. Duty (29) In examining whether the definitive duty should be equal to the dumping margin found or a lower duty would be sufficient to remove the injury caused by dumping, in accordance with Article 13 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission compared the dumping margin with the price undercutting, the major reasons for injury, at cif level. Since price undercutting significantly exceeded the dumping margin the duty should be imposed at the level of the latter.
(30) The exporters concerned sell low carbon ferro-chrome besides a variety of other products to the importers in the Community. In order to minimize the risk that the duty is evaded by price manipulation it is considered appropriate to impose the duty in the form of a specific amount per kilogram. The definitive duty to be imposed on the imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content of 0,5 % or less should therefore amount to ECU 0,31 per kilogram.
(31) The Council confirms this level of the duty.
I. Collection of provisional duties (32) In view of the importance of the dumping margin found and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community producer, the Council considers it necessary that the amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duties should be collected in full,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of ferro-chrome with a carbon content of maximum 0,5 % falling within CN codes 7202 49 10 and 7202 49 50, originating in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine.
2. The rate of the duty shall be ECU 0,31 per kilogram net.
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty imposed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 797/93 shall be definitively collected at the rates of provisional duty.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Belgium’s application to register the name ‘Gentse azalea’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Germany submitted an objection to the registration pursuant to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objection was deemed admissible pursuant to Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) Germany indicated in the objection that the registration of the name in question would be contrary to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and would jeopardise the existence of names, trade marks or products which have been legally on the market since at least 5 years preceding the date of publication for objection.
(4) By a letter dated 6 March 2009, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(5) Given that no agreement was reached between Germany and Belgium within the designated time-frame, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(6) In the light of the information provided by Germany and following appropriate scrutiny, the Commission cannot conclude that the registration of the name ‘Gentse azalea’ would be contrary to Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Germany claims that the delimited geographical area in the application is wider than the town of Ghent, that there is no link between the claimed characteristics of ‘Gentse azalea’ and the geographical area and that no use of the name is made. Evidence provided in the application shows that there is production of ‘Gentse azalea’ in the delimited geographical area also outside the boundaries of the city of Ghent, and labels proving use of the name in trade are also part of the application. The application for registration is based on proved reputation of the name ‘Gentse azalea’ for pot plants.
(7) Germany indicated that registration of the name ‘Gentse azalea’ as a protected geographical indication would jeopardise the existence of products legally on the market by providing a competitive advantage (marketing advantage) to azalea producers in the geographical area compared to producers in other areas. No evidence was shown that the name ‘Gentse azalea’ is used for trade for pot plants produced outside the area, neither that it is a registered trademark or is protected as a name of a plant variety. In addition, the name ‘Gentse azalea’ has already been used in the market for a significant period of time.
(8) In the light of the above, the name ‘Gentse azalea’ should be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’. The specification and summary are modified to make clear that the name ‘Gentse azalea’ is used for pot plants.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
The designation contained in Annex I to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
A summary, containing the main elements of the specifications, is presented in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2529/97 of 16 December 1997 imposing provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties on certain imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 (10) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (3), and in particular Article 13 (10) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 31 August 1996, the Commission announced, by two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding (4) as well as an anti-subsidy proceeding (5) in respect of imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway.
(2) The Commission sought and verified all information that it deemed necessary for the purpose of its definitive findings. As a result of this examination, it was established that definitive anti-dumping and countervailing measures should be taken in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidization. All interested parties were informed of the results of the investigation and were given the opportunity to comment on them.
(3) On 26 September 1997, the Commission adopted Decision 97/634/EC (6), accepting undertakings offered in connection with the two abovementioned proceedings from the exporters mentioned in the Annex to the Decision and terminated the investigations in their respect.
(4) On the same day, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1890/97 (7), imposed an anti-dumping duty of ECU 0,32 per kilo on imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. Imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by companies from which an undertaking had been accepted were exempted from that duty pursuant to Article 1 (2) of the Regulation.
(5) On the same day, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1891/97 (8), also imposed a countervailing duty of 3,8 % on imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. Imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by companies from which an undertaking had been accepted were exempted from that duty pursuant to Article 1 (2) of the Regulation.
(6) The abovementioned Regulations set out the definitive findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigations.
B. APPARENT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNDERTAKING
(7) Pursuant to the undertakings referred to above, the Norwegian exporters have offered, inter alia, not to sell, on a quarterly basis and as an average of all export transactions, for each presentation, the product under investigation to their first unrelated customer in the Community below a certain minimum price.
(8) In order to ensure the effective implementation and monitoring of the undertakings, the exporters concerned have undertaken to report to the Commission, on a quarterly basis, all their sales of farmed Atlantic salmon to unrelated customers in the Community.
The text of the undertakings specifically provides that failure to comply with the reporting obligations and, in particular, failure to submit the quarterly report within the prescribed time limit except in case of force majeure, would be construed as a violation of the undertaking. The first reports were to be sent by 31 October 1997.
(9) It appears from the reports referred to above that a number of Norwegian exporters have made sales on the Community market below the minimum price stipulated by the undertaking.
(10) Certain other Norwegian exporters have failed to comply with their obligation to present a report within the prescribed time limit or have not submitted any report at all.
These exporters were informed of the consequences of late reporting and in particular that, should the Commission have reasons to believe that an undertaking is being violated, a provisional anti-dumping duty and a provisional countervailing duty may be imposed pursuant to Article 8 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 respectively.
These exporters were also invited to provide, where appropriate, evidence of any force majeure justifying such late reporting, but have so far failed to provide conclusive evidence of such force majeure.
C. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(11) Under these circumstances, there are reasons to believe that the undertakings accepted by the Commission from the Norwegian exporters mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation are being violated.
(12) In view of the difficult economic situation facing the Community industry, and in view of the fact that farmed Atlantic salmon is a product with a seasonal character, the bulk of sales of which are concentrated around Christmas, it is considered imperative that, pending the definitive establishment of the facts, provisional duties be imposed.
D. RATE OF DUTY
(13) In accordance with Article 8 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, the rate of the anti-dumping duty must be established on the basis of the best information available. Under the present circumstances and taking into account that no dumping margin had been individually determined for the exporters concerned, it is considered appropriate that the rate of the provisional duty be set at the level of the definitive duty determined by the Council in Regulation (EC) No 1890/97.
(14) In accordance with Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, the rate of the countervailing duty must be established on the basis of the best information available. Under the present circumstances it is considered appropriate that the rate of the provisional duty be set at the level of the definitive duty determined by the Council in Regulation (EC) No 1891/97,
E. FINAL PROVISIONS
(15) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed in which interested parties may make known their views in writing and request a hearing. Furthermore, it should be stated that all findings made for the purpose of this Regulation, are based on the exporters' quarterly reports or absence thereof and are therefore provisional, and may have to be reconsidered for the purpose of any definitive duties which the Commission may propose,
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild) Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 (Taric code: 0302 12 00 * 19), ex 0304 10 13 (Taric code: 0304 10 13 * 19), ex 0303 22 00 (Taric code: 0303 22 00 * 19) and ex 0304 20 13 (Taric code: 0304 20 13 * 19) originating in Norway and exported by the companies listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The rate of duty applicable is ECU 0,32/kg net product weight.
1. A provisional countervailing duty is hereby imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild) Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 (Taric code: 0302 12 00 * 19), ex 0304 10 13 (Taric code: 0304 10 13 * 19), ex 0303 22 00 (Taric code: 0303 22 00 * 19) and ex 0304 20 13 (Taric code: 0304 20 13 * 19) originating in Norway and exported by the companies listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The rate of duty applicable to the net free-at-Community price, before duty, shall be 3,8 %.
1. The duties referred to in Article 1 and 2 shall not apply to wild Atlantic salmon (Taric codes 0302 12 00 * 11, 0304 10 13 * 11, 0303 22 00 * 11, 0304 20 13 * 11). For the purpose of the present Regulation, wild Atlantic salmon shall be that in respect of which the competent authorities of the Member State of landing are satisfied, by means of all customs and transport documents to be provided by interested parties, that it was caught at sea.
2. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
Pursuant to Article 20 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Article 30 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, the parties concerned may make their views known in writing and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Decision 97/634/EC is hereby amended by the deletion from the Annex of the companies listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities and shall apply for a period of four months.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(3) The executive body of the OSPAR Convention (the OSPAR Commission) may adopt amendments to the Convention, including new Annexes and Appendices; it has adopted a new Annex which is Annex V on the protection and conservation of the ecosystems and biological diversity of the maritime area, the Appendix 3 which stems from it, and an Agreement on the meaning of certain concepts in the Annex V.
(4) The preservation, the protection and the improvement of the quality of the environment, including the conservation of natural habitats and of wild flora and fauna and the protection of biodiversity are an essential objective of general benefit which is being pursued by the Community as provided for in Article 174 of the Treaty; the new Annex V to the OSPAR Convention may contribute to the achievement of that objective.
(5) The Community has adopted measures in the field covered by Annex V; it should enter into international commitments in this field.
(6) The objectives of Annex V supplement the objectives of Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds(4) and of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora(5); those Directives already provide a Community framework for the protection of habitats and species in the geographical area in which they apply; the adoption of the Annex V by the Community does not prejudice the implementation of those Directives.
(7) The Commission took part in negotiating Annex V, in accordance with the Council conclusions concerning negotiating directives for the Convention for the protection of the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.
(8) The Community should approve Annex V to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic (including the corresponding Appendix 3),
1. Annex V to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (including the corresponding Appendix 3) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the said Annex V is attached to this Decision.
2. The Commission is authorised to notify the approval referred to in paragraph 1 to the OSPAR Commission.

of 17 December 2009
establishing a third list of indicative occupational exposure limit values in implementation of Council Directive 98/24/EC and amending Commission Directive 2000/39/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at Work,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 98/24/EC, the Commission is to propose European objectives in the form of indicative occupational exposure limit values (IOELVs) for the protection of workers from chemical risks, to be set at Community level.
(2) In carrying out this task, the Commission is assisted by the Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits to Chemical Agents (SCOEL) set up by Commission Decision 95/320/EC (2).
(3) IOELVs are health-based, non-binding values, derived from the most recent scientific data available and taking into account the availability of measurement techniques. They set threshold levels of exposure below which, in general, no detrimental effects are expected for any given substance after short-term or daily exposure over a working life time. They constitute European objectives to assist employers in determining and assessing risks, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 98/24/EC.
(4) For any chemical agent for which an IOELV is established at Community level, Member States are required to establish a national occupational exposure limit value taking into account the Community limit value, but may determine its nature in accordance with national legislation and practice.
(5) IOELVs should be regarded as an important part of the overall approach to ensuring that the health of workers is protected against the risks arising from hazardous chemicals.
(6) Results of the risk assessments and risk reduction strategies developed in the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances (3) show the need for the establishment or revision of occupational exposure limit for a number of substances.
(7) Commission Directive 91/322/EEC (4) as amended by Directive 2006/15/EC (5) contains occupational exposure limits for 10 substances and remains in force.
(8) A first and a second list of IOELVs were established by Commission Directives 2000/39/EC (6) and 2006/15/EC under Directive 98/24/EC. This Directive establishes a third list of IOELVs under Directive 98/24/EC.
(9) In accordance with Article 3 of Directive 98/24/EC, SCOEL has assessed 19 substances, which are listed in the Annex to this Directive. One of these substances, phenol, was previously listed in the Annex to Directive 2000/39/EC. SCOEL has reviewed the IOELV for this substance in the light of recent scientific data and recommended the establishment of a short-term exposure limit (STEL) to complement the existing time-weighted average (TWA) IOELV. Therefore, this substance, now listed in the Annex to this Directive, should be deleted from the Annex to Directive 2000/39/EC.
(10) Mercury is a substance with potentially serious cumulative health effects. Therefore health surveillance including biological monitoring in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 98/24/EC should complement the IOELV.
(11) It is also necessary to establish short-term exposure limit values for certain substances to take account of effects arising from short-term exposure.
(12) For some substances, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of penetration through the skin in order to ensure the best possible level of protection.
(13) This Directive should constitute a practical step towards consolidating the social dimension of the internal market.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 17 of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (7),
In implementation of Directive 98/24/EC, a third list of Community indicative occupational exposure limit values is hereby established for the chemical agents listed in the Annex.
Member States shall establish national occupational exposure limit values for the chemical agents listed in the Annex, taking into account the Community values.
In the Annex to Directive 2000/39/EC the reference to phenol is deleted.
1. Member States shall bring into force the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with this Directive by 18 December 2011 at the latest.
They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between the provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 27(4), Article 28(2) and Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created stocks in several Member States. In order to prevent an excessive prolongation of storage, part of these stocks should be sold by tender for processing in the Community.
(2) The sale should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 of 4 October 1979 on detailed rules of application for the disposal of beef bought in by intervention agencies and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 216/69(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95(4), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(6), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 of 30 September 1977 laying down detailed rules for the sale of frozen beef from intervention stocks for processing in the Community and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95, subject to certain special exceptions on account of the particular use to which the products in question are to be put.
(3) With a view to ensuring a regular and uniform tendering procedure, measures should be taken in addition to those laid down in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79.
(4) Provision should be made for derogations from Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, in view of the administrative difficulties which application of this point creates in the Member States concerned.
(5) In order to ensure a proper functioning of the tender arrangements it is necessary to provide for a higher amount of security than the one fixed in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79.
(6) On the basis of experience gained with regard to the disposal of bone-in intervention beef, it is necessary to reinforce the quality controls of the products before their delivery to the purchasers, in particular to ensure that the products comply with the provisions in Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 of 15 March 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1564/2001(9).

The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 105109914 from the public sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 90591032. Of that amount, EUR 13750190 will be paid immediately and EUR 13932912 will be suspended until the Commission adopts the decision to carry over those appropriations pursuant to the first indent of Article 7(2a) of the Financial Regulation. To the extent to which the amount whose payment is suspended corresponds to budgetary appropriations which will be available as result of the carryover decision, the suspension will be lifted when that decision comes into force.
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.
>TABLE>
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, up to a maximum of 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 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) 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 and 39 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 Spain.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 705/2013
of 23 July 2013
concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.
(3) Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.
(4) It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
Binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 590/2007
of 30 May 2007
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector (tomatoes)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 134/2007 (3) fixes the indicative quantities for which system B export licences may be issued.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for tomatoes will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for tomatoes after 30 May 2007 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
Applications for system B export licences for tomatoes submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 134/2007, export declarations for which are accepted after 30 May and before 1 July 2007, are hereby rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 May 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
