Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas there is a risk of substantial reductions in the agricultural conversion rates for the Belgian/Luxembourg franc, the Danish krone, the German mark, the Dutch guilder and the Austrian schilling; whereas monetary gaps greater than 5 % have already been recorded for these currencies over several reference periods; whereas it is necessary to take steps at Community level to prevent distortions in the implementation of the common agricultural policy due to monetary causes;
Whereas, in order to curtail the risk of distortions to trade flows caused by the monetary gaps of the said currencies, these gaps should be reduced if they prove to be still over 5 % by the end of the reference periods introduced to confirm the monetary situation;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides for a Council decision, in the event of an appreciable re-evaluation, primarily to comply with obligations under the GATT agreement and budgetary discipline, on all necessary measures, which may involve derogations from the provisions of the said Regulation concerning aid and the amount by which the monetary gaps are dismantled, without, however, resulting in the threshold being extended; whereas the measures provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of the said Regulation cannot be applied as they stand; whereas, however, compensation for losses of income caused by a reduction in agricultural conversion rates needs to be provided, while taking into account on a flat-rate basis the effects of the 1993 devaluations, the movements of prices in real terms for products qualifying for compensatory payments as part of the reform of the common agricultural policy, and the acknowledged sensitivity of market prices and incomes to agrimonetary adjustments;
Whereas there should be provision for extending the compensatory aid granted over three successive 12-month tranches should the duration of the effects of the reduction in the agricultural conversion rates in forthcoming years so require;
Whereas the date set for the third stage for achieving economic and monetary union is 1 January 1999, at the latest; whereas, with regard to the national currencies in question, the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 should not be reduced until fixed conversion rates between the currencies of the Member States have been established,
This Regulation shall apply in the event of significant reductions in agricultural conversion rates in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 introduced between 23 June 1995 and 1 January 1996.
1. In the event of a reduction in agricultural conversion rates as referred to in Article 1, the Member State affected may make compensatory payments to farmers in three successive tranches lasting twelve months each, starting with the month following the relevant reduction in the agricultural conversion rate. These compensatory payments shall not take the form of aid linked to production, other than production during a stipulated period prior to introduction of the compensation scheme; they shall not favour any particular type of production or be dependent on production subsequent to the period stipulated.
2. The total compensatory aid in the first twelve-month tranche shall not be more than:
- ECU 18,0 million in the case of Belgium,
- ECU 15,3 million in the case of Denmark - ECU 95,4 million in the case of Germany,
- ECU 1,4 million in the case of Luxembourg,
- ECU 38,5 million in the case of the Netherlands,
- ECU 16,8 million in the case of Austria,
to be multiplied by the reduction in the agricultural conversion rate referred to in Article 1 expressed as a percentage, less 1,015 percentage points in respect of the Belgian/Luxembourg franc and 2,626 percentage points in respect of the Danish krone, if the reduction of the agricultural conversion rate concerned takes place respectively before 14 October 1995 or before 17 August 1995.
The amounts paid out under the second and third tranches shall not exceed the amount paid out in the previous tranche in each case, less at least a third of the amount paid out in the first tranche.
3. The Community contribution to financing these compensatory payments shall be 50 % of the amounts that may be paid out.
For the purposes of the financing of the common agricultural policy, this contribution shall be considered to form part of the assistance designed to regularize agricultural markets. The Member State may withdraw from national participation in financing the aid.
4. The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, adopt detailed rules for applying this Article and in particular in cases where the Member State does not participate in financing the aid, lay down the conditions for paying that aid.
1. In cases referred to in Article 1, the agricultural conversion rates applicable on 23 June 1995 to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall remain unchanged until 1 January 1999.
2. Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall not apply to the reductions in agricultural conversion rates referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Before the end of the third period during which the compensatory aid is granted, the Commission shall examine the effects on agricultural income of the reductions in agricultural conversion rates as referred to in Article 1.
Where it is established that income losses are likely to continue, the Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, extend the possibility of granting compensatory aid as provided for in Article 2 by a maximum of two additional 12-month tranches, the maximum amount per tranche being equal to that granted in the third tranche.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 30 June 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas a Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, hereinafter referred to as 'the Agreement', was signed in Brussels on 1 February 1993;
Whereas pending the entry into force of the Europe Agreement, its provisions on trade and trade-related matters have been given effect since 1 May 1993 by an Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, signed in Brussels on 1 February 1993 (1);
Whereas pursuant to the conclusions of the Copenhagen European Council on 21 and 22 June 1993 regarding new trade concessions for the central and eastern European countries, an Additional Protocol to the Interim Agreement was concluded on 20 December 1993 (2) by the European Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down the procedures for applying certain provisions of the Agreement;

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 of 31 July 2002 fixing, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the actual production of unginned cotton in Greece and the resulting reduction of the guide price and derogating, for the 2001/02 marketing year, from certain management rules and aid award procedures in Greece

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002
of 31 July 2002
fixing, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the actual production of unginned cotton in Greece and the resulting reduction of the guide price and derogating, for the 2001/02 marketing year, from certain management rules and aid award procedures in Greece
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 19(1) and (2) and Article 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the third indent of Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 actual production of unginned cotton is fixed taking account in particular of the quantities on which aid has been applied for. Of the total Greek production of unginned cotton delivered to ginning undertakings during the 2001/02 marketing year, namely 1354719 tonnes, the Greek authorities recognised 1148357 tonnes as eligible for aid, adjusted to 1183155 tonnes to take account of the quality criterion provided for in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 represented by cotton fibre yield.
(2) All production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality delivered to ginning undertakings could be treated as actual production. However, it should be noted that, generally speaking, where common agricultural policy mechanisms are applied, the production taken into account is that which fulfils the conditions laid down by the rules regarding eligibility for aid. Therefore, and because there is no specific provision concerning cotton, it is justified to regard as actual production the total production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality which, without prejudice to Article 13(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3), comes from areas declared in accordance with Article 9 of the said Regulation and not excluded from the aid scheme pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, and which is delivered by producers to ginning undertakings.
(3) The quantity of 206362 tonnes of cotton which, on 15 May 2002, had not been recognised as eligible by the Greek authorities comprised, according to the information provided by those authorities, 138175 tonnes which failed to comply with the national rules on the reduction of areas adopted under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 and/or involved failings or irregularities in the area declarations, 6376 tonnes which were not of sound and fair merchantable quality as provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, 52361 tonnes excluded due to abnormally high yields revealing a failure to observe sound agricultural practice, and finally 9450 tonnes which did not observe the delivery conditions.
(4) According to the information communicated by the Greek authorities, for the 2001/02 marketing year the total area sown to cotton is 423038 hectares while Greek ministerial decree No 40420 of 28 February 2001 restricts, for that year, the areas eligible for production aid to 393770 hectares. The difference, 29268 hectares, reflects a minimum area not eligible for the aid pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. On the basis of an average yield of 3,032 tonnes per hectare for cotton considered eligible by the Greek authorities, the Commission estimates production from these 29268 hectares at 88741 tonnes.
(5) The remainder of the 138175 tonnes, i.e. at the most 49434 tonnes, consists of cotton delivered for ginning covered by a declaration under the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) which does not mention, at least in total, the area actually sown to cotton by the producer in question. In other words, it comes either from an area not declared and as such not eligible for aid or from an area declared as being sown to another crop but actually sown to cotton. For cotton from an area not properly declared, under Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, without prejudice to the national penalties to be applied to the producers concerned, aid is granted to the ginning undertaking provided that all the other requirements have been met. In view of the impossibility of establishing within the 49434 tonnes a direct link between irregularities committed within the meaning of the said Article and the batches of cotton concerned, the conditions are not met for application of the said Article. Consequently the 49434 tonnes should be excluded in their entirety from actual production.
(6) As a result, a quantity of 1210168 tonnes may be regarded as the total production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality coming from areas eligible for aid and delivered by producers to ginning undertakings. Taking into account the adjustment for fibre yield, actual production of unginned cotton in Greece for the 2001/02 marketing year may therefore be put at 1246839 tonnes.
(7) Under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1051/2001, if actual production in Spain and Greece exceeds 1031000 tonnes, the guide price referred to in Article 3(1) of that Regulation is to be reduced in each Member State where production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity (GNQ). This reduction is calculated differently depending on whether the GNQ is exceeded in both Greece and Spain or in only one of those Member States.
(8) In the 2001/02 marketing year there has been an overrun in both Spain and Greece. Moreover, if the sum of actual production in Spain and Greece reduced by 1031000 tonnes is higher than 469000 tonnes, the 50 % reduction in the guide price increases gradually in accordance with the rules laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. For the 2001/02 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton in Greece is in the eighth step of 15170 tonnes above its guaranteed national quantity increased by 356000 tonnes. The reduction in the guide price in Greece is therefore 66 %.
(9) Community law does not provide for the exclusion from the aid scheme of the 52361 tonnes of cotton that was delivered and produced while failing to observe good agricultural practice. By contrast, the failure to observe the delivery conditions in the case of 9450 tonnes may be a criterion for not recognising those quantities as eligible for aid.
(10) Of the quantities of cotton delivered to ginning undertakings in the 2001/02 marketing year but not recognised as eligible by the Greek authorities there is therefore a maximum 1237103 which may be eligible under Community rules. For these quantities, therefore, it should be possible to lodge aid applications as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and to lodge applications for supervised storage as referred to in Article 6 of that Regulation. As regards these aid applications and applications for supervised storage, to take account of their retrospective submission, it is necessary to derogate from certain management rules or aid calculation procedures laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(11) Under Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 the amount of the aid to be paid is the amount applicable on the day the application for aid is submitted. Under the transitional measures provided for in Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, as regards aid applications in Greece submitted from the entry into force of this Regulation for the 2001/02 marketing year, it is necessary to derogate from this provision in order to avoid having to choose, a posteriori, the amount of aid. Under these circumstances, it should be laid down that the amount of aid is that which is valid on the day on which the quantities concerned by the applications in question enter the cotton ginning undertaking.
(12) Under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 the balance of the aid is paid before the end of the marketing year at the latest, once any adjustments to the aid resulting from application of Article 7 of that Regulation have been determined. The time limits required in the case of new aid applications for Greek unginned cotton eligible for aid for the 2001/02 marketing year do not allow the Greek authorities to pay the balance of the aid before 31 August 2002. Pursuant to the transitional measures provided for in Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, it is therefore necessary to extend, in Greece, the deadline for the payment of the balance of the aid for that year.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,
1. For the 2001/02 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton is fixed at 1246839 tonnes for Greece.
2. The amount by which the guide price is to be reduced for the 2001/02 marketing year is fixed at EUR 41,670/100 kg for Greece.
1. Notwithstanding the deadlines referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) and in Article 6(1), (3) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, the aid applications and applications for supervised storage for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece may, for the cotton referred to in paragraph 2, be submitted until 15 September 2002.
4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 does not apply to the aid applications referred to in the first subparagraph.
The applications for supervised storage referred to in the first subparagraph shall mention the date of entry of the batch or batches concerned into the ginning undertaking.
2. The applications referred to in paragraph 1 shall relate to cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality:
- not coming from areas which have been disqualified under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001,
- delivered to ginning undertakings for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece and not having been recognised as eligible by 15 May 2002, including cotton for which no aid was applied for,
- identified by batch and sampled in accordance with Article 6(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and then ginned before 1 September 2002,
- recorded in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001,
- where applicable, by way of derogation from Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, at a price such that, for each producer concerned and for the total quantities of unginned cotton eligible for aid that producer has delivered for the 2001/02 marketing year, the average price paid is more than or equal to the minimum price referred to in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001.
1. Notwithstanding Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the amount of the aid corresponding to the aid applications referred to in Article 2(1) shall be that which is valid on the day on which the quantities of unginned cotton concerned enter the cotton ginning undertaking.
2. Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the balance of the aid for the quantities of unginned cotton recognised as eligible for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece may be granted until 15 October 2002.
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.

|
REGULATION (EEC) No 922/72 OF THE COUNCIL of 2 May 1972 laying down general rules for granting aid in respect of silkworms for the 1972/73 rearing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 845/721 of 24 April 1972 laying down special measures to encourage silkworm rearing, and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 845/72 states that aid is to be granted in respect of silkworms reared within the Community and whereas the general rules of application provided for in that Article should be adopted;
Whereas, in order to simplify the application of the system of aid, in each Member State aid should be granted solely in respect of silkworms reared within the territory of that State;
Whereas, in order to ensure the proper functioning of that system it is necessary to determine who is eligible and to specify certain requirements for granting aid;
Whereas it is necessary to introduce a system of administrative control ensuring that aid is granted only in respect of eligible products;
Whereas the detailed rules for calculating the aid should be specified in order to ensure uniform application of that system;

Council Regulation (EEC) No 1719/91 of 13 June 1991 laying down general rules on the marketing of preferential sugar in the Community for the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1719/91 of 13 June 1991 laying down general rules on the marketing of preferential sugar in the Community for the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 464/91 (2), and in particular Article 37 (1) (a) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 (1) of Protocol 8 on ACP sugar, hereinafter referred to as 'the Protocol', annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention, signed at LomĂŠ on 15 December 1989, the Community has undertaken to purchase and import at guaranteed prices specific quantities of cane sugar originating in the ACP States which those States undertake to supply; whereas, pursuant to Article 1 (1) of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of India on cane sugar (3), hereinafter referred to as 'the Agreement', the same reciprocal commitments were entered into as regards sugar originating in India; whereas, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of the Protocol and Article 1 (2) of the Agreement, those texts are to be implemented for the sugar in question, hereinafter referred to as 'preferential sugar', within the framework of the common organization of the sugar market;
Whereas the measures to be adopted by the Community to ensure this implementation of the Protocol and the Agreement must be such as to permit the observance of the relevant commitments entered into under those instruments, namely the supply of preferential sugar and the purchase of that sugar and therefore the supply of the Community market and more particularly that of port refineries in the Community;
Whereas, owing to the freeze on guaranteed prices for sugar during several delivery periods, the fall in such prices for the 1989/90 delivery period and the prejudicial effects which those measures will have on the sugar industry of the countries concerned unless accompanying measures are taken, there appears to be a short-term risk that the reciprocal commitments to deliver and import sugar provided for in the Protocol and the Agreement may no
longer be fully observed under these circumstances; whereas almost all those deliveries comprise raw sugar intended for refining; whereas supplies to Community refineries are therefore seriously threatened;
Whereas to that end a special accompanying measure for a limited period involving the granting of a marketing premium for raw preferential sugar intended for refining in the Community would enable the sugar industry in the producing countries to adjust to this new situation during that period,
1. During the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years, a marketing premium for the import of raw preferential cane sugar refined into white sugar during that period in the refineries referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be granted as an intervention measure.
2. The premium referred to in paragraph 1 may be granted only in respect of the quantities laid down in the Protocol and the Agreement that have been imported and only if the premium is reassigned by the importer to the producer of the preferential sugar in question.
3. The premium referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined per 100 kilograms of white sugar for each marketing year taking account of a total appropriation of ECU 30 million for the three marketing years referred to in paragraph 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 July 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the safety of third-country aircraft using Community airports (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2004/36/EC introduces a harmonised approach to the effective enforcement of international safety standards within the Community by harmonising the rules and procedures for ramp inspections of third-country aircraft landing at airports located in the Member States. It requires the Member States to conduct ramp inspections on third-country aircraft suspected of non-compliance with international safety standards landing at any of its airports open to international air traffic following a harmonised procedure, and to participate to the collection and exchange of information on the ramp inspections carried out.
(2) In order to maximise the limited resources available to the competent inspection authorities of each Member State, they should give priority to conducting ramp inspections of certain categories of operators and aircraft which are particularly susceptible to safety deficiencies.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (2),
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘prioritisation of ramp inspections’ means the dedication of an appropriate portion of the total number of ramp inspections conducted by a Member State on an annual basis, as provided under Article 2 of this Regulation;
2. ‘subject’ means an operator and/or all operators from a particular State and/or an aircraft type and/or a particular aircraft.
Prioritisation criteria
Without prejudice to Article 8(3) of Directive 2004/36/EC, Member States shall prioritise their ramp inspections on the following subjects landing at any of their airports open to international air traffic:
1. Subjects identified as posing a potential safety threat on the basis of the regular analyses conducted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
2. Subjects identified on the basis of an opinion expressed by the Air Safety Committee within the context of the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and the Council (3) that further verification of effective compliance with relevant safety standards through systematic ramp inspections on those subjects is necessary. This may include subjects which have been withdrawn from the list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community established by Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 (the Community list).
3. Subjects identified on the basis of information obtained by the Commission from the Member States or EASA pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005.
4. Aircraft operated into the Community by operators included in Annex B of the Community list.
5. Aircraft operated by other operators certified in the same state as any operator featuring concurrently on the Community list.
Communications
1. A list of the subjects referred to in Article 2 shall be communicated electronically by EASA to the Member States at least every four months.
2. EASA shall monitor the prioritisation process and provide to the Member States, in cooperation with competent international organisations in the field of aviation, the information needed to enable them to follow the progress across the Community with regard to the prioritisation of inspections on subjects referred to in Article 2, including relevant statistical air traffic data.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the first 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the outbreak of avian influenza, caused by a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus strain, in south-eastern Asia starting in December 2003, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to avian influenza. Those measures include in particular Commission Decision 2005/692/EC of 6 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several third countries (3).
(2) Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (4) authorised the importation into the Community of poultrymeat products from the Province of Shandong in China which have been heat treated to a minimum temperature of 70 °C.
(3) Such heat treatment is sufficient to inactivate the avian influenza virus and the animal health risk posed by the heat treated products may therefore be regarded as negligible.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to derogate from the suspension of importation of meat products consisting of, or containing poultrymeat laid down in Decision 2005/692/EC, to allow imports of such poultrymeat products provided that they have undergone heat treatment in accordance with Decision 2007/777/EC.
(5) Decision 2005/692/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 2 of Decision 2005/692/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 2
1. Member States shall suspend the importation from China of:
(a) fresh poultrymeat;
(b) meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing poultrymeat;
(c) raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of poultry;
(d) eggs for human consumption; and
(e) non-treated game trophies from any birds.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, provided that such meat has undergone one of the specific treatments referred to in points B, C or D of Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC.’
The Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to all third countries except for the United States of America, Canada, Estonia and Latvia was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 901/2002(5).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 4 to 6 June 2002, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 901/2002, the maximum refund on exportation of barley shall be EUR 5,00/t.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 June 2002.

(3) According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission shall operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State.
(4) Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2009. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions from the fishing quotas allocated to them in the year 2010.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 649/2009 (8) has operated deductions from fishing quotas for 2009 on account of overfishing of quotas in 2008. However, for certain Member States the deductions to be applied were higher than their respective 2009 quota and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that also in such cases the full amount be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions from 2010 quotas.
(6) Deductions provided for by this Regulation should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2010 quotas pursuant to:
— Commission Regulation (EC) No 147/2007 of 15 February 2007 adapting certain fish quotas from 2007 to 2012 pursuant to Article 23(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (9) and
— Commission Regulation (EC) No 635/2008 of 3 July 2008 adapting the cod fishing quotas to be allocated to Poland in the Baltic Sea (Subdivisions 25-32, EC Waters) from 2008 to 2011 pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/2008 (10).
(7) Paragraph 2 of Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that deductions from fishing quotas are to be operated by applying certain multiplying factors set out in that paragraph.
(8) However, since deductions to be operated apply to overfishing that occurred in 2009 and thus at a time when Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 was not yet applicable, legal predictability concerns make it opportune to operate deductions that are not more stringent than those which would have resulted from the application of the rules in force at that time, namely the rules set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (11),
1. The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EC) No 1226/2009, (EC) No 1287/2009, (EC) No 1359/2008 and (EU) No 53/2010 are reduced as shown in the Annex.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to reductions provided for in Regulations (EC) No 147/2007 and (EC) No 635/2008.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93, the minimum sugarbeet prices referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and the production levy and additional levy referred to, respectively, in Articles 15 and 16 of that Regulation are to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the marketing year in question.
(2) Since 1 January 1999, pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (3), the fixing of conversion rates should be restricted to the specific agricultural conversion rates between the euro and the national currencies of those Member States which have not adopted the single currency.
(3) The specific agricultural conversion rate for the minimum sugarbeet prices and the production levy and the additional levy for the 2003/2004 marketing year should therefore be fixed in the various national currencies,
The specific agricultural conversion rate to be used for the conversion of the minimum sugarbeet prices as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and of the production levy and, where appropriate, the additional levy referred to in Articles 15 and 16 respectively of that Regulation, into each of the national currencies of the Member States which have not adopted the single currency shall be fixed, for the 2003/2004 marketing year, as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 July 2004.
It shall apply from 1 July 2003.

COMMISSION DECISION of 22 April 1998 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L. line MON 810), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (98/294/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/35/EC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC lay down a Community procedure enabling the competent authority of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of products containing, or consisting of, genetically modified organisms;
Whereas a notification concerning the placing on the market of such a product has been submitted to the competent authorities of France;
Whereas the competent authorities of France have subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the competent authorities of other Member States have raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas the notifier subsequently modified the proposed labelling in the original dossier as follows:
- to state on all the seed bags that they contain seeds of maize obtained by genetic modification in order to render the maize resistant through the expression of a toxin from bacillus thuringiensis,
- to provide all purchasers of such seeds with a technical guide containing comprehensive information on the development, mode of action and use of the seeds, including the use of biotechnology in their development and the necessity for prescribed insect-resistance-management practices,
- to inform European grain traders of the authorisation of maize line MON 810 and to provide them with full product information,
- to inform international maize traders in those countries where maize line MON 810 is authorised for production, that this maize has been authorised for production, that it has been developed using genetic modification techniques and that shipments of grains may contain genetically modified grains,
- to inform international trades and the appropriate authorities of countries exporting maize that any statements accompanying international shipments must be in compliance with the requirements of Directive 90/220/EEC,
- to recommend that statements accompanying international shipments include the wording 'may contain genetically modified grains`;
Whereas, the notifier has defined a management strategy in order to minimise the development of insect resistance and has offered to inform the Commission and/or the Competent Authorities of Member States of the results of monitoring of this aspect;
Whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive 90/220/EEC, the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of that Directive;
Whereas the Commission sought the opinion of the relevant Scientific Committees established by Commission Decision 97/579/EC (3) on this dossier; whereas the opinion was delivered on 10 February 1998 by the Scientific Committee on Plants which concluded that there is no reason to believe that the placing on the market of the product would have any adverse effects on human health or the environment;
Whereas the Commission, having examined each of the objections raised in the light of Directive 90/220/EEC, the information submitted in the dossier and the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Plants, has concluded that there is no reason to believe that there will be any adverse effects on human health or the environment from the introduction into maize of the gene cryIA (b) coding for insect protection;
Whereas Article 11(6) and Article 16(1) of Directive 90/220/EEC provide additional safeguards if new information on risks of the product becomes available;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established under Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in particular Council Directives 66/402/EEC (4) and 70/457/EEC (5) and Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and the Council (6), and subject to paragraph 2 of this Article, consent shall be given by the competent authorities of France to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by Monsanto Europe SA (Ref. C/F/95/12-02):
inbred lines and hybrids derived from maize line MON 810 containing the cryIA (b) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki under the control of the enhanced 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus and an intron from the gene coding for the heat shock protein 70 from maize.
2. The consent shall cover any progeny derived from crosses of the product with any traditionally bred maize.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 785/98 of 14 April 1998 laying down detailed rules for the granting of private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9(3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 (3) provides that private storage aid may be granted for certain long-keeping cheeses where there is a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the seasonal nature of Emmental and Gruyère cheese production is aggravated by the fact that the seasonal trend in consumption of such cheeses is the opposite of their production; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for recourse to such storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production;
Whereas the detailed rules of this measure should determine the maximum quantity to benefit from it as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question; whereas it is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract so as to enable the identification of the cheese and to maintain checks on the stock in respect of which aid is granted; whereas the aid should be fixed taking into account storage costs and the foreseeable trend of market prices;
Whereas, in view of experience in controls, the provisions relating thereto should be specified, in particular as regards the documents to be presented and the on-the-spot checks to be conducted; whereas these new requirements on the subject make it necessary to stipulate that the Member States may provide that the costs of controls be fully or in part charged to the contractor;
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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 420/98 (5), fixes the conversion rate to be applied in the framework of private storage aid schemes in the milk products sector;
Whereas it is appropriate to guarantee the continuation of the storage operations in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 21 600 tonnes of Emmental and Gruyère cheeses manufactured in the Community which satisfy the requirements of Articles 2 and 3 hereof.
1. The intervention agency may conclude storage contracts only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the batch of cheeses to which a contract relates must comprise at least 5 tonnes;
(b) the cheeses shall be indelibly marked with an indication (which may take the form of a number) of the undertaking in which they were manufactured and of the day and month of manufacture;
(c) the cheeses must have been manufactured at least 10 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage;
(d) the cheeses must have undergone quality tests which establish that their classification after maturing could be expected to be:
- 'Premier choix` in France,
- 'Markenkäse` or 'Klasse fein` in Germany,
- 'Special grade` in Ireland,
- 'I luokka` in Finland,
- '1. Güteklasse Emmentaler/Bergkäse/Alpkäse` in Austria,
- 'Västerbotten/Prästost/Svecia/Grevé` in Sweden;
(e) the storer shall undertake:
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch covered by the contract without authorisation from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorise an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorisation of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration;
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any costs of controls arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock records and to inform the intervention agency each week of the cheeses put into storage during the previous week and of scheduled withdrawals.
2. Storage contracts shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this date may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage are completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date when storage by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for such cheeses as are put into storage during the storage period. This period shall begin on 1 April 1998 and end on or before 30 September of the same year.
2. Stored cheese may be withdrawn from storage only during the period for withdrawal. This period shall begin on 1 October 1998 and end on 31 March of the following year.
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(a) ECU 100 per tonne for the fixed costs;
(b) ECU 0,35 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;
(c) ECU 0,63 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the financial costs.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 90 days. The maximum aid payable shall not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days' storage under contract.
By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 2(1) (e), when the period of 90 days specified in the first subparagraph has elapsed and the period for withdrawal referred to in Article 3(2) has begun, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to 2 tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove the batch of cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage;
(b) the origin and the date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry into storage;
(d) presence in the store;
(e) the 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 the products placed in private storage;
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight by batch;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheeses covered by the contract.
5. On entry into storage, the competent agencies 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, without prejudice to the application of Article 2(1)(e).
6. The national authorities 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 products 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 contact.
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 on checks 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 products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent agency.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of controls are to be fully or in part charged to the contractor.
The Member States shall forward to the Commission before 15 October 1998 particulars as to the following:
(a) the quantities of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorisation referred to in Article 2(1)(e) has been given.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 April 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 1238/1999(2), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the Community and weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined with effect from 1 January 1999;
(2) under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six months; it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half-years;
(3) the weightings to apply with effect from 1 January 1999 in respect of which payment has been made on the basis of a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjustments to remuneration (positive or negative);
(4) provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings;
(5) provision should be made for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a reduction in remuneration as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 January 1999 and the date of the Council decision setting the weightings to apply with effect from 1 January 1999;
(6) however, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the European Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Communities, provision should be made for any such recovery to apply solely to a period of no more than six months preceding the decision and for its effects to be spread over a period of no more than twelve months following the date of that decision,
With effect from 1 January 1999, the weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment shall be as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the month preceding the date referred to in the first paragraph.
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council shall set weightings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings with effect from 1 July 1999.
The institutions shall make back-payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings.
For the period between 1 January 1999 and the date of the Council Decision setting the weightings applicable with effect from 1 January 1999, the institutions shall make retrospective downward adjustments to remuneration in the event of a reduction as a result of these weightings.
Retrospective adjustments involving the recovery of sums overpaid shall, however, concern only a period of no more than six months preceding the decision and this recovery shall be spread over no more than twelve months from the date of that decision.
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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 November 2014
on the publication of information on meetings held between Members of the Commission and organisations or self-employed individuals
(2014/839/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 11(1) and (2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), the institutions must, by appropriate means, give citizens and representative associations the opportunity to make known and publicly exchange their views in all areas of Union action. They are also required to maintain an open, transparent and regular dialogue with representative associations and civil society. Further, in accordance with Article 2 of Protocol No 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and with Article 11(3) TEU, the Commission has to consult widely before proposing legislative acts.
(2) For these purposes, the Members of the Commission, and members of their Cabinets, regularly meet with organisations or self-employed individuals, in order to learn about the difficulties they are confronted with and to understand their views on Union policies and legislation.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(3) TEU, in order to facilitate the participation of European citizens in the democratic life of the Union and to ensure that decisions are taken as openly as possible, it is important to enable citizens to know what contacts the Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets have with organisations or self-employed individuals.
(4) Citizens already have a right of access to documents of the institutions pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). This Decision does not concern access to documents nor the application of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
(5) In line with the Political Guidelines of 15 July 2014 laid down by the President of the Commission, the Commission is committed to enhancing transparency in respect of contacts with stakeholders and lobbyists.
(6) While there is no need for further measures with regard to the participation of Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets in public events, since such information is already in the public domain, the publication of information on meetings held with organisations or self-employed individuals would further enhance the transparency of the action of the Commission.
(7) The Members of the Commission should therefore make public information on meetings held by them or by members of their Cabinets with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to decision-making and policy implementation in the Union.
(8) Meetings with representatives of other Union institutions or bodies, which reflect the ordinary course of interinstitutional relations, are not covered by this Decision. Meetings with representatives of public authorities of the Member States are not covered by this Decision as those authorities pursue the general interest and contribute to the work of the Commission under the principle of sincere cooperation. In order to protect the international relations of the Union, meetings with representatives of public authorities of third countries and of international organisations are not covered by this Decision. This Decision is not applicable to the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission for the meetings she holds in her capacity as High Representative.
(9) In order to respect the specific character of the dialogue with the social partners, provided for in Article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), as well as the specific character of the dialogue with churches and philosophical and non-confessional organisations, provided for in Article 17(3) TFEU, meetings taking place in those contexts should not be covered by this Decision.
(10) In view of the specific role of political parties recognised by Article 10(4) TEU, and given that the Inter-institutional agreement between the European Parliament and the European Commission of 16 April 2014 on the transparency register for organisations and self-employed individuals engaged in EU policy-making and policy implementation (2) provides that the register does not apply to political parties, meetings with representatives of political parties should also not be covered by this Decision.
(11) Since in certain specific cases the publication of information on meetings may undermine the protection of the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level, the publication of such information should be withheld in such cases.
(12) In accordance with Article 5(a) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the names of Members of the Commission as well as of members of the Cabinets who attend meetings with organisations or self-employed individuals can be made public; other individuals must have unambiguously given their consent.
(13) This Decision is without prejudice to more enhanced transparency requirements or commitments resulting from Union legislation or international agreements concluded by the Union,
1. The Members of the Commission shall make public information on all meetings held by them and members of their Cabinet with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to policy-making and implementation in the Union, in accordance with the provisions of this Decision.
2. The information to be made public shall consist of the date of the meeting, the location, the name of the Member of the Commission and/or member of the Cabinet, the name of the organisation or self-employed individual and the subject of the meeting.
For the purpose of this Decision the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘meeting’ means a bilateral encounter organised at the initiative of an organisation or self-employed individual or a Member of the Commission and/or a member of his/her Cabinet to discuss an issue related to policy-making and implementation in the Union. Encounters taking place in the context of an administrative procedure established by the Treaties or Union acts, which falls under the direct responsibility of the Member of the Commission, as well as encounters of a purely private or social character or spontaneous encounters are excluded from this notion;
(b) ‘organisation or self-employed individual’ means any organisation or individual, irrespective of their legal status, engaged in activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation or implementation of policy and the decision-making processes of the institutions of the Union, irrespective of where these activities are undertaken and of the channel or medium of communication used.
1. This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with social partners at Union level in the context of the social dialogue, or to meetings held in the context of the dialogue with churches, religious associations or communities, as well as with philosophical and non-confessional organisations
2. This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with representatives of political parties.
1. The information set out in Article 1(2) shall be published in a standardised format on the websites of the Members of the Commission within a period of two weeks following the meeting.
2. The publication of the information may be withheld where such publication could undermine the protection of one of the interests referred to in Article 4(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, in particular the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level.
The names of individuals (acting on behalf of organisations or self-employed individuals) or Commission officials (other than members of the Cabinets) attending meetings shall not be made public unless they have unambiguously given their consent
The organisations and self-employed individuals shall be informed of the fact that the information set out in Article 1(2) will be made public.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 December 2014.

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 Regulation (EEC) No 60/85 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3711/85 (2), established restrictions on exports to the United States of America of certain steel pipes and tubes originating in the Communiy;
Whereas economic links have been established between Community undertakings and their subsidiaries in the United States, the latter being supplied by Community undertakings with semi-finished tubes for tube production; whereas the allocation of the Community quota among Member States, as set out in Annex III to the aforementioned Regulation, takes account of the special situation of these undertakings with a subsidiary in the United States;
Whereas the criteria for the allocation of licences should take account of this special situation; whereas it is therefore necessary to add to the list of criteria laid down for the issue of licences by the Member States the case of Community undertakings which have a subsidiary in the United States and which supply that subsidiary with semi-finished tubes for the production of finished tubes,
The second indent of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 60/85 shall be replaced by the following:
'- compliance with the traditional export patterns of undertakings taking account of the reduction principles established by this Regulation and possibly the situation of new producers of pipes and tubes and of undertakings having a subsidiary in the United States which they supply with semi-finished tubes for tube production.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas,
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 (2) opens, on a multi-annual basis for periods from 1 January to 31 December, a quota for the import of certain products in the beef and veal sector originating from the ACP States. The products eligible for import under this quota are listed in Annex I to that Regulation.
(2) Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) provides that applicants for import licences shall not lodge more than one import licence application for the same quota order number in respect of an import tariff quota period or subperiod. Moreover, Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4) provides that, without prejudice to more specific provisions, licence applications should be made for products of a single CN subheading or one of the groups of CN subheadings listed in Annex I of that Regulation. In view of the range of products that can be imported under Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003, applicants should be entitled to sub-divide their single application for the same quota order number by CN code or group of CN codes.
(3) For statistical purposes, the licences issued under Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 should specify per CN code or group of CN codes the quantities concerned.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2), and in particular Article 4a (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the level of the minimum import price has an impact on the production aid system provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77; whereas the minimum import price should be fixed before the marketing year begins;
Whereas the present monetary situation results in a minimum price, fixed in ECU and converted into national currency using the representative rate, which does not represent an identical price level; whereas that fact could lead to distortion of trade; whereas that eventuality could be avoided by applying a coefficient when converting the ECU into national currency;
Whereas currants have characteristics different from those of other dried grapes; whereas different minimum import prices should be fixed; whereas the packings of dried grapes may have an important effect on the price of the products; whereas the minimum import price should reflect this fact;
Whereas the countervailing charge is applicable only when a product does not observe the minimum import price; whereas the countervailing charge should be fixed taking into consideration the lowest price applied by the most representative non-member countries with export prices below the minimum import price;
Whereas import prices may undercut the minimum import price because of events which are not a consequence of prices applied by non-member countries, such as the fluctuation of exchange rates; whereas in such cases specific countervailing charges should be applied; whereas those countervailing charges should at the same time ensure compliance with the objectives of the minimum import price system and avoid excessive charges on the products;
Whereas the Monetary Committee will be consulted,
1. The minimum import price for dried grapes shall be fixed before the beginning of the marketing year. The minimum price expressed in national currency may be adjusted by a monetary coefficient in order to avoid distortion of trade between the Member States.
2. A minimum import price shall be fixed for currants and for other dried grapes.
3. For each of the two groups of products referred to in paragraph 2, the minimum import price may be fixed for products in immediate packing of a net weight to be determined and for products in immediate packing of a net weight exceeding that weight.
1. Countervailing charges shall be fixed by reference to a scale of import prices. The difference between the minimum import price and each step of the scale shall be:
- 1 % of the minimum price for the first step,
- 3 %, 6 % and 9 %, respectively, of the minimum price for the second, third and fourth steps.
The fifth step of the scale shall cover all cases where the import price is lower than that applied for the fourth step.
2. The maximum countervailing charge to be fixed shall not exceed the difference between the minimum price and an amount determined on the basis of the most favourable prices applied on the world market for significant quantities by the most representative non-member countries.
The minimum import price to be observed shall be that applicable on the day of importation. The countervailing charge to be levied, if any, shall be that which is applicable on the same day.
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 September 1985.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the granting of special aid under the first indent of Article 2a (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2624/77 (4), is no longer subject to the conclusion of a supply contract between the dairy and the farmer ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1089/77 of 25 May 1977 on detailed rules of application for granting special aid for skimmed milk for use as feed for animals other than young calves (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2196/77 (6), should therefore be amended ; whereas such amendment must include the introduction of other mechanisms to ensure that the skimmed milk concerned is used for the purpose intended ; whereas, moveover, certain other provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1089/77 must be amended in order to remedy the administrative difficulties encountered in practice and to render the measure more effective ; whereas, in view of the large number of amendments required and in the interests of clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 1089/77 should be repealed and a new text adopted;
Whereas, to ensure the effectiveness of this measure, farmers should be given some assurance as to the stability of the level of the special aid and the maximum prices fixed by providing for them to be adjusted in the event of a change in the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder or in the prices of competing proteins;
Whereas, in order to ascertain the quantities of skimmed milk supplied by a dairy under this Regulation, the monthly record prescribed in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1105/68 of 27 July 1968 on detailed rules for granting aid for skimmed milk for use as feed (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 541/76 (8), should be adapted ; whereas, to ensure that the skimmed milk is used for the purpose intended, provision should be made for its denaturing or for an equivalent administrative control in addition to the treatment prescribed in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 ; whereas special rules should be laid down for skimmed milk supplied to mixed farms where calves are also kept ; whereas, moreover, under Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1105/68, Member States will have to take the supervisory measures necessary to ensure that the conditions governing the granting of the special aid are fulfilled ; whereas any breach should be punished by penal or administrative measures laid down by the Member States ; whereas provision should be made to ensure that dairies and farmers are informed of such consequences;
Whereas the special aid may also be granted for skimmed milk used to feed animals other than young calves on the farm where it has been manufactured ; whereas special provision should be made for this type of case to ensure that this use of skimmed milk is complied with;
Whereas, as regards the information concerning aid for skimmed milk to be communicated by the Member States, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 of 31 January 1969 on communications between Member States and the Commission with regard to milk and milk products (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1089/77, should be amended accordingly;

3. For the purposes of this Regulation, 100 litres of skimmed milk shall be equivalent to 103 kilograms of skimmed milk.
1. For the purposes of this Regulation: (a) "specialized farm" means: - a farm keeping pigs and/or any other animals except young calves,
or
- a mixed farm within the meaning of (b) where the farmer undertakes to take delivery only of skimmed milk denatured according to the formula set out in the third indent of Article 3 (1) (b);

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 221/91 of 30 January 1991 fixing for the 1991 marketing year the Community offer prices for cucumbers applicable with regard to Spain and Portugal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulations (EEC) No 3709/89 (1) and No 3648/90 (2) laying down general rules for implementing the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the compensation mechanism on imports of fruit and vegetables originating respectively in Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 4 (1) of each thereof,
Whereas, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/90 (3) lays down detailed rules for the application of the compensation mechanism to imports of fruit and vegetables from Spain,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 152 and Article 318 of the Act of Accession, a compensation mechanism is to be introduced on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Community of Ten', of fruit and vegetables from Spain and Portugal for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries; whereas, Community offer prices for cucumbers coming from Spain and Portugal should be fixed only during the period where reference prices are fixed with regard to third countries, which means from 11 February up to and including 10 November;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 152 (2) (a) and 318 (1) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the producer prices in each Member State of the Community of Ten, plus transport and packaging costs incurred by the products from the production regions to the representative consumption centres of the Community and bearing in mind developments in the cost of production in the fruit and vegetable sector; whereas the abovementioned producer prices correspond to the average prices recorded during the three years preceding the date of fixing of the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price cannot exceed the reference price applied for third countries;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal variations in prices, the marketing year should be divided into one or more periods and a Community offer price should be fixed for each of them;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulations (EEC) Nos 3709/89 and 3648/90, the producer prices to be used for the determination of the Community offer price are to be those of a domestic product defined by its commercial characteristics recorded on the representative market or markets located in the production areas where prices are lowest for products or varieties representing a considerable proportion of production marketed throughout the year or during a part of the latter and which meet Quality Class I requirements and conditions laid down as regards packaging; whereas the average price for each representative market must be established after disregarding prices which may be considered excessively high or excessively low compared with the normal fluctuations recorded on the market; whereas, moreover, if the average price for a Member State shows excessive variations with respect of normal price fluctuations, it shall not be taken into account;
Whereas cucumbers produced in the Community of Ten are grown mainly under glass; whereas the Community offer prices must therefore be fixed for a product of that type; whereas cucumbers imported from Spain and Portugal during the same period will have been grown in the open; whereas, although such cucumbers may be classed in class I, their quality and price are not comparable with those of products grown under glass; whereas the prices for cucumbers not grown under glass should therefore be adjusted by a conversion factor;
Whereas the application of the abovementioned criteria results in Community offer prices being fixed for cucumbers for the period 11 February to 10 November 1991 at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Article 1
1. For the 1991 marketing year, the Community offer prices for cucumbers (CN code 0707 00 11,19) applicable with regard to Spain and Portugal, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 11 to 20 February: 133,44
- from 21 to 28 February: 109,79
- March: 93,13
- April: 70,13
- May: 63,77
- June: 56,18
- July: 48,28
- August: 48,65
- September: 57,62
- from 1 October to 10 November: 79,45.
2. For the purposes of calculating the Spanish and Portuguese offer prices, the prices for cucumbers, not produced under glass, imported from Spain and Portugal shall, after deduction of customs duties, be multiplied by the following conversion factors:
- from 11 February to 30 September: 1,30,
- from 1 October to 10 November: 1,00. Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 February 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.

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 16 of, and Annex B to, the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria(1) stipulate that if Algeria levies a special export charge on imports into the Community of olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10, 1509 10 90 and 1509 00 10, the levy applicable to such oil is to be reduced by a fixed amount of 0,60 ECU per 100 kilograms and by an amount equal to the special charge, but not exceeding 12,09 ECU per 100 kilograms in the case of the reduction provided for in the aforementioned Article and 12,09 ECU per 100 kilograms in the case of the additional amount provided for in the aforementioned Annex B;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 447/83
of 25 February 1983
concerning the adjustment of certain export refunds fixed in advance in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 606/82 (2), and in particular Article 19 (3) and (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1489/76 (4), provides that if between the date on which an application for an export licence with advance fixing of the refund is lodged and the date of export there is an alteration in the prices for sugar fixed in the context of the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector, provision may be made for adjustment of the refund;
Whereas this situation is likely to occur; whereas, for white sugar and raw sugar exported in the natural state from 1 July 1983 with advance fixing of the refunds determined under Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2016/82 (5) and (EEC) No 2015/82 (6), respectively, provision has been made for adjusting the refund at the request of the party concerned; whereas use should also be made of this provision to adjust the refunds in the case of white sugar and raw sugar exported in the form of the processed goods listed in the Annexes to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 764/82 (8), which were fixed in advance before 1 July 1983 and for which the customs export formalities were completed on or after that date;
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 provides that the rate of refund under the system of advance fixing is to be adjusted according to the same rules applying to the advance fixing of refunds on basic products exported in the natural state; whereas this adjustment will therefore be made on the basis of the difference between the intervention price for the sugar in question applicable for the 1982/83 marketing year and that applicable to the same sugar for the 1983/84 marketing year, each of these prices being increased by the relevant storage levy; whereas, by reason of the trend in the volume of trade in the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and white and raw candy sugar, the provision for adjusting the refunds under the same conditions should be applied to those products and, to ensure equal treatment, should also be extended to isoglucose where the products in question are exported as such or in the form of processed goods listed in the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Provided that the conditions set out in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 are satisfied, export refunds fixed in advance before 1 July 1983 for the products listed in Annex I and exported on or after that date shall be adjusted, at the request of the export-licence holders concerned, in accordance with the conditions set out below.
2. Paragraph 1 shall also apply to products listed in Annex II which are exported in the form of processed goods listed in the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80.
For white sugar falling within subheading 17.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff, the adjustment referred to in Article 1 shall be obtained by increasing the export refund by the difference, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms of sugar, between the intervention price for white sugar in the non-deficit areas applicable with effect from 1 July 1983 and the corresponding intervention price applicable on 30 June 1983.
To establish the difference referred to in the preceding paragraph, the storage levy referred to under (a) of the third subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be added to the intervention prices.
For the products listed in the Annexes falling within:
(a) subheadings ex 17.01 A (flavoured or coloured sugars), 17.02 D II, E and F I and 21.07 F IV of the Common Customs Tariff, the adjustment referred to in Article 2 shall apply per 1 % of sucrose contained in the product in question. The amount shall be equal to one-hundredth of the difference established in accordance with the said Article;
(b) subheadings 17.02 D I and 21.07 F III of the Common Customs Tariff, the adjustment established in accordance with Article 2 shall apply per 100 kilograms of dry matter contained in the product in question.
1. For raw sugar falling within subheading 17.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff, the adjustment referred to in Article 1 shall be made by increasing the export refund by the difference, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms of sugar, between the intervention price for raw sugar applicable with effect from 1 July 1983 and the corresponding intervention price in force on 30 June 1983.
To establish the difference referred to in the preceding subparagraph, the storage levy referred to under (a) of the third subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be added to the intervention prices.
2. For raw candy sugar the adjustment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made before the provisions of Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 are applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the submission of sampling plans, control plans and common control programmes by Member States,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 60(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, a Member State is to ensure that all fisheries products are weighed on landing, prior to the fisheries products being held in storage, transported or sold, on systems approved by the control authorities, unless that Member State has adopted a sampling plan approved by the Commission. Such sampling plan must be in accordance with the risk-based methodology set out in Article 76(1) of and Annex XIX to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011 (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 60(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, a Member State may permit fisheries products to be weighed on board the fishing vessel by way of derogation from the general weighing obligation established in Article 60(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, provided that Member State has adopted a sampling plan approved by the Commission, as referred to in Article 60(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Such sampling plan must comply with the risk-based methodology set out in Article 76(1) of and Annex XX to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011.
(3) Pursuant to Article 61(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, a Member State may permit fisheries products to be weighed after transport from the place of landing if they are transported to a destination on the territory of the Member State concerned, provided that Member State has adopted a control plan approved by the Commission. Such plan must comply with the risk-based methodology set out in Article 77(1) of and Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011.
(4) Pursuant to Article 61(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, the control authorities of the Member State in which the fisheries products are landed may permit the transport before weighing of those products to registered buyers, registered auctions or other bodies of persons which are responsible for the first marketing of fisheries products in another Member State, provided the Member States concerned have adopted a common control programme approved by the Commission, as referred to in Article 94 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Such programme must comply with the risk-based methodology set out in Article 77(3) of and Annex XXII to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011.
(5) The Commission approved, by Implementing Decision 2012/474/EU (3), a first group of sampling plans adopted by Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Finland and the United Kingdom and of control plans adopted by Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Poland, Finland and the United Kingdom.
(6) Since the adoption of Implementing Decision 2012/474/EU, sampling plans have been submitted by Bulgaria, Latvia, Slovenia and by Sweden, respectively on 5 October 2012, 5 April 2012, 14 June 2012 and 20 April 2012, a control plan has been submitted to the Commission by France on 14 September 2012 and a common control programme has been submitted by France and Ireland on 14 September 2012. The Netherlands have submitted a new sampling plan on 27 September 2012 to replace the plan approved by Implementing Decision 2012/474/EU. Those sampling plans, that control plan and that common control programme are in line with the relevant risk-based methodologies. They should therefore be approved.
(7) The Commission should be in a position to revoke the approval if it appears that the Member State concerned does not apply or not fully apply the sampling plans, the control plan or the common control programme.
(8) The Commission will monitor the application of the sampling plans, the control plan and common control programme both with respect to their effective operation as well as to their regular review by the Member State concerned. For that reason Member States should report to the Commission on the application of these plans. If it appears that such a plan or programme does not ensure adequate weighing, the Member State concerned should submit a revised plan or programme to the Commission for approval,
Approval
1. The sampling plans submitted respectively on 5 October 2012, 5 April 2012 and 20 April 2012 by Bulgaria, Latvia and Sweden for the purposes of Article 60(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are approved.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 566/76 of 15 March 1976 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 as regards the fat content of whole milk
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas according to the second indent of Article 3 (1) (b) and Article 6 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 of 29 June 1971 laying down additional rules on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products for products falling within tariff heading No 04.01 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3358/75 (3), only milk with a fat content of at least 3 75 % shall be sold in the Community as whole drinking milk ; whereas pursuant to Article 6 (2) of that Regulation Member States may maintain, until 31 March 1976, the provisions applicable within their territories at the date of entry into force of the said Regulation;
Whereas certain new Member States have encountered difficulties in implementing within their territories the provisions laid down before their accession to the Community since processing and distribution methods are different and consumers are unaccustomed to the purchase of standardized whole milk ; whereas the system applied in these countries on the whole ensures that the fat content of whole milk sold to consumers is equal to that laid down and even exceeds it;
Whereas, therefore, the provisions designed for the Community as a whole should not be imposed on the Member States in question provided that trade between Member States is impeded as little as possible ; whereas the system in operation should, after a certain period, be reviewed in the light of experience,
As from 1 April 1976, the second indent of Article 3 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 is replaced by the following:
"- whole milk : milk which has been subjected to at least one heat treatment or an authorized treatment of equivalent effect by a milk processor, and with respect to fat content meets one of the following requirements:
standardized whole milk:
milk with a fat content of at least 3 750 %;
non-standardized whole milk:
milk with a fat content that has not been altered since the milking stage either by the addition or separation of milk fats or by mixture with milk, the natural fat content of which has been altered. However, the fat content may not be less than 3 70 %."
As from 1 April 1976, paragraph 4 of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 is replaced by the following paragraphs:
"4.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2004/416/EC (2) laid down temporary emergency measures aimed at providing strengthened prevention of the entry of harmful organisms, and in particular of Guignardia citricarpa Kiely and Xanthomonas campestris in respect of fruits of Citrus L., Fortunella Swingle, Poncirus Raf., and their hybrids, originating in Argentina or Brazil.
(2) On the basis of the assessment by the Food and Veterinary Office in 2004 and 2005 in Argentina and Brazil, information from detailed technical reports on the results of plant health checks carried out in 2004, 2005 and 2006 by Member States on those citrus fruits imported from Argentina and Brazil and additional information provided by Argentina in 2006 and 2007 on the traceability system and the official operators’ register established in Argentina in the citrus fruits exporting sector, it has become apparent that the temporary emergency measures are no longer necessary in respect of Argentina.
(3) The effect of the temporary emergency measures concerned was evaluated by the Standing Committee on Plant Health on several occasions during 2005, 2006 and 2007. It was recommended that the temporary emergency measures should no longer apply to citrus fruits originating in Argentina, but should, however, remain in force in respect of those citrus fruits originating in Brazil.
(4) Decision 2004/416/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 Plant Health,
Decision 2004/416/EC is amended as follows:
1. in the title, the words ‘Argentina or’ are deleted;
2. in Article 1, the words ‘Argentina or’ are deleted.
3. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
4. in Article 3, ‘2004’ is replaced by ‘2007’;
5. Article 4 is deleted;
6. in Article 5, ‘2005’ is replaced by ‘2008’;
7. the Annex is amended as follows:
(a) in points 1 and 2, the words ‘Argentina or’ are deleted;
(b) in point 3, the words ‘Argentina or Brazil respectively’ are replaced by ‘Brazil’.

92/335/EEC: Commission Decision of 3 June 1992 concerning applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain ball bearings originating in Singapore (NMB Italia Srl) (Only the Italian text is authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 3 June 1992 concerning applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain ball bearings originating in Singapore (NMB Italia Srl) (Only the Italian text is authentic) (92/335/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 19 July 1984 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 (2), a definitive anti-dumping duty of 33,89 % was imposed on imports of certain ball bearings manufactured and exported by the Minebea group of companies and originating in Singapore. In September 1989 a review of the above measures was opened (3) in accordance with Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and the measure has remained in force pending the outcome of this review.
(2) From 1985 and during the following years, NMB Italia Srl, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan, applied, on a regular basis, for the refund of anti-dumping duties. Commission Decision 88/329/EEC (4) was the first refund decision concerning the anti-dumping duties paid in 1985 and 1986. This Decision concerns the refund claims lodged for the following amounts of anti-dumping duties paid between January 1987 and September 1991, namely:
- January 1987 to September 1988: [ . . .] (5),
- October 1988 to September 1989: [ . . .],
- October 1989 to September 1990: [ . . .],
- October 1990 to September 1991: [ . . .].
(3) Following submissions by the applicant with regard to the dumping margin during each of the above reference periods, Commission sought and verified all information deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the two exporters (NMB Singapore Ltd and Pelmec Singapore Ltd) and the sales company (Minebea Singapore Ltd) in Singapore. All these companies are owned by Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan.
Investigations were also carried out at the premises of related importers of Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan in the Community, including the applicant. The applicant complied with all requests for additional information to the satisfaction of the Commission and in accordance with the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (6) (hereinafter referred to as 'the notice'). Subsequently the applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment on them. It did so and the comments were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State disagreed with this opinion.
B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT
(5) The applicant has based its claims on the allegation that, for certain sales in the Community, export prices were such that either dumping did not exist or that dumping existed at a level lower than the level of the definitive duty of 33,89 %.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(6) The applications are admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular that concerning time limits.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(7) Pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and Part II of the notice, the applicant showed that the duty collected exceeded the dumping margins to varying degrees, depending on the shipment and the ball-bearing type concerned, partly as a result of a decrease in normal value.
(8) Concerning the methodology used for establishing dumping margins, the Commission had to take account of changes in the domestic market in Singapore. During the original investigation domestic sales were minimal and normal value had consequently to be constructed using costs of production and a fixed percentage for profit. During subsequent verification visits to Singapore, the Commission established that substantial domestic sales were made, in excess of the volume of total exports to the Community, and that the profit made on these representative sales was much higher than the estimated profit margins originally used for constructing the normal value. Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 provides that 'all refund calculations shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 or 3 and shall be based, as far as possible, on the same method applied in the original investigation, in particular, with regard to any application of averaging or sampling techniques.' This means that the actual normal value shall be established in a refund proceeding by respecting the hierarchy of methods as provided for by Article 2 (3) of that Regulation which requires that actual domestic prices should be used in all cases where they are available, the construction of the normal value being only a substitute for actual prices when these cannot be used. The Commission therefore decided to employ average domestic sales prices as a basis for normal value.
(9) Since all importers are related to the exporters, it was necessary to calculate the actual dumping margin by comparing the normal value with an export price constructed in accordance with Article 2 (8) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. That Article provides that an export price is constructed on the basis of the price at which the imported product is first resold to an independent buyer and that allowance shall be made for all costs incurred by the related importer between importation and resale, including customs duties, any anti-dumping duties and other taxes, and for a reasonable profit margin. Normal value and export prices were compared, according to the provisions of Article 2 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, and, since the importers are all related companies, a weighted-average dumping margin was calculated on the basis of all export transactions to the Community involving ball bearings originating in Singapore (i.e. a single weighted-average dumping margin for all related importers of Minebea Co. Ltd - NMB GmbH, NMB Italia Srl, NMB UK Ltd and NMB France Sarl).
(10) On this basis, it was found that the applications were partly founded. The actual dumping margins established for the periods in question were as follows.
- January 1987 to September 1988: 14,5 % (7),
- October 1988 to September 1989: 20,5 %,
- October 1989 to September 1990: 8,2 %,
- October 1990 to September 1991: 24,0 %.
(11) Consequently, the amounts to be refunded are:
- January 1987 to September 1988: [ . . .],
- October 1988 to September 1989: [ . . .],
- October 1989 to September 1990: [ . . .],
- October 1990 to September 1991: [ . . .].
(12) The applicant claimed, however, that a higher amount should be refunded. It raised objections concerning the legality of a deduction of anti-dumping duties paid by importing companies related to the exporter in constructing the export prices (see recital 9). These objections are the same as those raised in Commission Decision 88/329/EEC (8) which were the subject of an appeal before the Court of Justice of the European Communities. The applicant referred expressly to its submissions made in this earlier refund proceeding and in its written submissions before the Court.
In its judgment of 10 March 1992 on this appeal, the Court dismissed the application (9).
Under these circumstances, the applicant's request for the refund of an additional amount has to be rejected,
The refund applications submitted by NMB Italia Srl, Mazzo di Rho, Italy, for the period January 1987 to September 1991 are granted in respect of the following amounts and rejected for the remainder.
- January 1987 to September 1988: [ . . .],
- October 1988 to September 1989: [ . . .],
- October 1989 to September 1990: [ . . .],
- October 1990 to September 1991: [ . . .].
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the Italy.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic and NMB Italia Srl, Mazzo di Rho, Italy.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001
of 26 November 2001
laying down detailed rules for the export of products supplied as food aid
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), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13(11) thereof, and the corresponding provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products,
Whereas:
(1) For the purpose of applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 of 27 June 1996 on food-aid policy and food-aid management and special operations in support of food security(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1726/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4), Commission Regulation (EC) No 2519/97(5) lays down general rules for the mobilisation of products to be supplied as Community food aid.
(2) The above mobilisation rules involve the application of export refunds in the event of mobilisation within the Community. However, it is necessary to lay down special rules governing certain aspects by derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 90/2001(7). To guarantee that the competitive conditions which apply to deliveries at the time of submission of tenders are not changed after the award of the contracts as a result of the application of certain techniques which can adjust export refunds as a function of the date of export, provision should be made to waive certain rules applying to trade in agricultural products and granting an export refund which is the same for all tenderers and which remains unaltered regardless of the actual date of export.
(3) To guarantee that the above provisions are applied correctly, administrative rules relating to export licences should be laid down which derogate from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001(9). To that end, the delivery guarantee lodged by the successful tenderer for the food-aid operation as an assurance that he meets his supply obligations in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 should be considered as sufficient also to guarantee respect of the obligations deriving from those licences.
(4) Supplies carried out under Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 are to be considered as food aid within the meaning of Article 10(4) of the Agreement on Agriculture within the context of the Uruguay Round.
(5) With regard to national food aid, this Regulation is to apply solely to aid meeting the conditions laid down in Article 10(4) of the Agreement on Agriculture within the context of the Uruguay Round. The same derogations to Regulations (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 1291/2000 should apply to those operations as apply to Community food aid.
(6) Export refunds for Community food aid are paid only for quantities exported in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 and only if they are taken over in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 2519/97.
(7) As regards the rate of refund for national food aid, the rule provided for in Article 13(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products(10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1923/2001(11), and in Article 11(a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(12), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(13), whereby the refund applicable is that fixed and published prior to the submission of tenders, should be applied.
(8) The adoption of horizontal provisions relating to the rate of refund applicable to national food-aid actions means that the existing sectoral provisions should be deleted.
(9) Commission Regulation (EC) No 259/98 of 30 January 1998 laying down detailed rules for the export of products supplied as Community food aid(14) should be replaced in order for the necessary changes to be made and for the purposes of clarity and administrative efficiency.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of all the Management Committees concerned,
Without prejudice to exceptional provisions adopted by the Commission for special operations, this Regulation shall apply to exports of products covered by the regulations on the common organisation of the markets listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 where the products are supplied as Community food aid under Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 and mobilised in the Community in accordance with the general rules of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97.
It shall apply mutatis mutandis where the products referred to in the preceding paragraph are supplied as national food aid implemented by the Member States, subject however to specific national measures on organising and assigning these operations.
1. By way of derogation from Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, the export refund to be paid shall be that applicable on the date specified in the legal instrument laying down the special conditions under which the Community food-aid operation is to be carried out (hereinafter referred to as the "tender notice").
In the case of the national food aid referred to in Article 1, the applicable refund rate shall be that applying on the day the Member State opens the invitation to tender for the supply in question.
2. In the case of supply ex works or free carrier and free at port of shipment, the time limit within which the products must leave the customs territory of the Community, laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 7(1) and in Article 34(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, shall not apply.
3. By way of derogation from the provisions laying down a readjustment of amounts fixed in advance, the refund referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be subject to any adjustment or correction.
1. Eligibility for the refund shall be conditional upon the presentation of an export licence, comprising advance fixing of the refund referred to in Article 2(1), applied for to carry out the food-aid operation concerned. The licence shall be valid only for the export to be carried out in this context.
By way of derogation from Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the period of validity of the licence may be extended by the competent authority at the written and justified request of the successful tenderer (hereinafter referred to as "the supplier").
The export licence shall be valid only for the quantity indicated in box 17 of the licence and for which the applicant has been declared the supplier. Box 19 of the licence shall contain the figure "0".
2. Applications for licences shall be accompanied by proof that the applicant is the supplier of the Community food aid. Such proof shall be provided by a copy of the communication sent to him by the Commission informing him that he is the supplier of the food aid in question and, if required by the issuing agency, a copy of the tender notice.
Licences shall be issued only if proof is provided that the delivery guarantee referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 has been lodged. The lodging of that guarantee shall be deemed to constitute the lodging of the licence security. The word "exempted" shall accordingly be entered in box 11 of the licence.
3. In the document used to apply for the refund as referred to in Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 and, in addition to the requirements of Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, in box 20 of the application for licences and the export licence itself, one of the following entries shall be included:
- Ayuda alimentaria comunitaria - Acción n° .../.. o Ayuda alimentaria nacional

The action number to be indicated is that specified in the tender notice. In addition, the country of destination shall be indicated in box 7 of both the licence application and the licence.
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, payment of the export refund in connection with Community food aid shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 and, by way of derogation from Article 16 of that Regulation, on production of a copy of the taking-over certificate or the delivery certificate referred to in Article 17(3) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97, certified as a true copy by the Commission office to which the tenders are sent in accordance with the tender notice.
Payment of the refund referred to in Article 2(1) shall be made in respect of the net quantity accepted which appears in the taking-over or delivery certificate.
2. The provisions of Article 51(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 shall not apply where the refund requested is higher than the refund due for the relevant exportation as a result of circumstances or events beyond the control of the supplier which occur after the completion of the supply operation in accordance with Article 12(5), Article 13(7), Article 14(11) or Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97.
Where the country of destination is changed by the aid beneficiary, the reduction referred to in the second indent of Article 18(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 shall not apply.
Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 and Article 11(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 are hereby deleted.
Regulation (EC) No 259/98 is hereby repealed. However, it shall continue to apply to Community food-aid supplies for which the tender notice was published before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to Community food-aid supplies for which the tender notice was published on or after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

97/793/EC: Commission Decision of 15 July 1997 ordering Germany to provide all documentation, information and data on the restructuring of SHB Stahl- und Hartgußwerke Bösdorf AG, Saxony, and on the aid granted to it (C 9/97 ex NN 2/97 and N 645/96) (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance)

COMMISSION DECISION of 15 July 1997 ordering Germany to provide all documentation, information and data on the restructuring of SHB Stahl- und Hartgußwerke Bösdorf AG, Saxony, and on the aid granted to it (C 9/97 ex NN 2/97 and N 645/96) (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (97/793/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 5, 92 and 93 thereof, and to the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, and in particular Articles 61 and 62 thereof,
Whereas:
On 12 June 1996 the Commission decided not to raise any objection to the aid notified in connection with the restructuring of the company Stahl- und Hartgußwerke Bösdorf AG ('SHB`) (1). The aid is restructuring aid amounting to DM 5 million provided by the Consolidation Fund of Saxony in the form of a five-year equity holding.
On 19 August 1996 Germany notified further restructuring aid for SHB. The new notification related to the following two measures taken by the Bundesanstalt für vereinigungsbedingte Sonderaufgaben ('BvS`) for SHB: a non-repayable grant amounting to DM 4,5 million for 1996 and a deferral of redemption payments on a DM 1,5 million loan. By letter D/52537 of 11 September 1996 the Commission requested additional information. By letter dated 14 November 1996 (registered under A/38134) Germany informed the Commission that the insolvency proceedings requested by SHB on 18 October 1996 had been initiated and confirmed that the relevant aid had already been granted in the first quarter of 1996. The aid had therefore been granted without the Commission having been informed of the fact and at a time when it was still examining the aid approved under the decision of 12 June 1996. The Commission therefore entered the aid in the register of unnotified aid (NN 2/97), and the aid must be regarded as unlawful.
On 5 February 1997 the Commission decided to initiate Article 93 (2) proceedings in respect of all the restructuring measures for SHB. On 31 May 1997 the initiation of proceedings was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2).
In the letter informing Germany of the initiation of the proceedings (letter D/1420 of 25 February 1997), Germany was called upon by the Commission to take forthwith the necessary steps to enter the BvS's claim on the list of creditors in the insolvency proceedings. This was done in respect of the second aid instalment granted by the BvS. The equity participation by the Saxon Consolidation Fund initially scheduled for five years was withdrawn on 22 October 1996.
Germany answered by letter dated 7 April 1997. The Commission had, in connection with the initiation of proceedings, requested more detailed information on the restructuring plan, which was a precondition for the second grant of aid, and on the implementation of the plan on which the Commission's first decision was based. The answers are still not complete and do not contain the details requested.
On 29 April 1997 Germany sent the Commission an annual report on the implementation of the restructuring plan for the first grant of aid. The report is incomplete and does not contain any information on the implementation of the original plan.
In view of the above considerations and by virtue of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 14 February 1990 in Case C-301/87 (Boussac) (3), upheld in its judgment of 13 April 1994 in Joined Cases C-324/90 and C-342/90 (Pleuger Worthington) (4) in respect of an infringement of Article 93 (3) of the EC Treaty, the Commission has the power to require the relevant Member State, in this instance Germany, to provide all such information and data as are necessary in order that it may examine the compatibility of the aid with the common market. This also applies where the Commission has already approved aid, but, because of doubts as to the data on which the Commission's decision was based, has initiated proceedings,
Germany shall, within two weeks of notification of this Decision, provide all the documents, information and data which are necessary to enable the Commission to assess the compatibility of all the restructuring aid for Stahl- und Hartgußwerke Bösdorf AG with Article 92 of the EC Treaty. This information shall include in particular the following details:
- the state of progress in the implementation of the original restructuring plan relating to the first grant of aid, which was the subject of the Commission decision of 12 June 1996,
- the reasons and the economic circumstances which prompted the BvS to grant additional aid,
- the restructuring plan which, because of the difficulties which had led to the additional aid, had been adjusted, and the state of progress of implementation of this second plan,
- the situation regarding the insolvency proceedings.
Germany may provide any other information it considers relevant to the assessment of the matter.
Should Germany not reply or should the information provided be incomplete, the Commission will take a final decision on the basis of the information currently available to it.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 229/87
of 26 January 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commision,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 11 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3666/86 (3), specifies that intervention agencies may sell sugar only at a price which is higher than the intervention price unless it is to be exported either in the natural state or after processing or is to be sued for animal feeding;
Whereas this rule prevents the disposal of sugar to charitable organizations for use for human consumption in the Community; whereas provision should therefore be made for such a possibility in the case of individual emergency aid operations assuring the availability of supplies and thus representing at the same time a humanitarian operation;
Whereas such operations are effective only if rapidly implemented; whereas provision should therefore be made for the most appropriate procedure to be sued in such instances,
Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 11:
'1a. It may however be decided, paragraph 1 notwithstanding, that intervention agencies shall, with a view to its distribution free of charge, make sugar in the natural state held by them available to charitable organizations - recognized by the Member State concerned or, if no recognition has been granted in that Member State to such organizations, by the Commission - actively involved in individual emergency aid operations, at a price which is lower than the intervention price or free of charge for human consumption on the internal market of the Community.';
2. Article 11 (3) shall be replaced by the following:
'3. Detailed rules for the application of this Article and the decision to make sugar available as specified in paragraph 1a shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 41.'.
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.

granting the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia certain temporary derogations from Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(2004/312/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty concerning the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic to the European Union and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded, hereinafter "2003 Act of Accession", and in particular Article 55 thereof,
Having regard to the requests of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) According to the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) of Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)(1), Member States are to ensure that by 31 December 2006 at the latest a rate of separate collection of at least four kilograms on average per inhabitant per year of waste electrical and electronic equipment from private households is achieved.
(2) Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC lays down certain minimum targets for the recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment and for component, material and substance reuse and recycling. The Member States have to ensure that producers meet these targets by 31 December 2006.
(3) In accordance with Article 17(1) of Directive 2002/96/EC, Member States are to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive by 13 August 2004. However, Article 17(4)(a) of Directive 2002/96/EC provides that Greece and Ireland which, because of their overall recycling infrastructure deficit, geographical circumstances such as the large number of small islands and the presence of rural and mountain areas, low population density and low level of consumption of electrical and electronic equipment are unable to reach either the collection target mentioned in the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) of Directive 2002/96/EC or the recovery targets mentioned in Article 7(2) thereof and which, under the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste(2), may apply for an extension of the deadline mentioned in that Article, may extend the periods referred to in Articles 5(5) and 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC by up to 24 months.
(4) On the basis of Article 55 of the 2003 Act of Accession the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia have requested temporary derogations from the time limits laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) and Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC, stating as their reasons their recycling infrastructure deficit, low population density and low level of consumption of electrical and electronic equipment and geographical circumstances, such as the presence of rural areas.
(5) Those reasons justify an extension of the abovementioned time limits for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia by 24 months, and for Slovenia by 12 months,
The Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia may extend the time limits referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) and Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC by 24 months.
Slovenia may extend the time limits referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 5(5) and Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC by 12 months.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States and the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1203/97 (4), listed the varieties of Lolium perenne L. of high persistence, late or medium late, and of Lolium perenne L. of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early, within the meaning of the provisions adopted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71;
Whereas, since the last amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76, certified seed of certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. is no longer marketed, while certified seed of other varieties has appeared on the market and will be marketed for the first time during the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas, furthermore, the application of the classification criteria to certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. results in their inclusion in one of the abovementioned lists; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 5 October 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/506/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 31 March 1983, Belgium requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44', ordered on 20 January 1981 and intended to be used in research relating to in vitro enzymatic reactions and for the analysis of synthetic substances, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community,
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 September 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a chromatographic system; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the analysis, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Chromatograph SĂŠrie 130' combined with the 'IntĂŠgrateur ICR-1B', manufactured by Intersmat BP 25, F-77181 Courtry,
The apparatus described as 'Varian - Gas Chromatography System, model Vista 44', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 31 March 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the frontier cooperation agreements help to facilitate trade and the efficient allocation of resources over a limited number of frontier posts situated in outermost regions, in particular for the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden; whereas such regions have a number of peculiarities relating to their geography (extremely harsh climatic conditions, extremely long borders, long internal distances, great difficulty in gaining access to certain areas) and to their very low density of population and traffic and these peculiarities are new in the Community context and require special attention if the regions and economic operators concerned are not to be penalized;
Whereas on 25 October 1996 the Council authorized the Commission to negotiate, on behalf of the Community, an agreeement on customs cooperation in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway;
Whereas the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden should assume full responsibility, including financial liability, towards the Community for all acts performed or to be performed on their behalf by the Norwegian customs authorities;
Whereas the Finnish and Swedish customs authorities respectively should conclude with the Norwegian customs authorities an administrative arrangement for the implementation of the Agreement; whereas such arrangements should be notified to the Commission; whereas the Finnish and Swedish customs authorities should be accountable to the Commission for the implementation of the Agreement;
Whereas the Agreement on customs cooperation in the form of an Exchange of Letters negotiated between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway should be approved,
The Agreement on customs cooperation in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden shall assume full responsibility, including financial liability, towards the Community for all acts performed or to be performed on their behalf by the Norwegian customs authorities.
1. The Finnish and the Swedish customs authorities respectively shall conclude with the Norwegian customs authorities an administrative arrangement for the implementation of the Agreement. These arrangements shall be notified to the Commission of the European Communties.
2. The Finnish and the Swedish customs authorities respectively shall be accountable to the Commission for the implementation of the Agreement. To this end, they shall present a yearly report to the Commission, unless special circumstances were to require additional reports.
The Community shall be represented on the Joint Committee set up under Article 7 of the Agreement by the Commission assisted by the representatives of the Member States.
The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the persons empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community and to give the notification provided for in Article 11 of the Agreement (1).
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communties.

Whereas it is desirable that the quantities of butter leaving intervention storage under the arrangements brought in by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1549/88 (4), be more closely controlled; whereas therefore sales of butter under Title VII of that Regulation should be suspended and the time limit for removal of butter sold by tendering procedure reduced;

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 15 December 2006
amending Decision ECB/2001/15 on the issue of euro banknotes
(ECB/2006/25)
(2007/46/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 106(1) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In view of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union and their respective national central banks (NCBs) joining the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 January 2007, Decision ECB/2006/21 of 15 December 2006 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) establishes with effect from 1 January 2007 the new weightings assigned to the each NCB that will be a member of the ESCB on 1 January 2007 in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) expanded capital.
(2) Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2006/495/EC of 11 July 2006 in accordance with Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the adoption by Slovenia of the single currency on 1 January 2007 (2), the derogation in favour of Slovenia referred to in Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (3) is abrogated with effect from 1 January 2007.
(3) Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2001/15 of 6 December 2001 on the issue of euro banknotes (4) defines the ‘banknote allocation key’ and refers to the Annex to that Decision, which specifies the banknote allocation key applying from 1 May 2004. Given that new capital key weightings will apply from 1 January 2007 and that Slovenia will adopt the euro on that date, Decision ECB/2001/15 needs to be amended in order to determine the banknote allocation key applying from 1 January 2007,
Amendment to Decision ECB/2001/15
Decision ECB/2001/15 is amended as follows:
1. The final sentence of Article 1(d) is replaced by the following:
2. The Annex to Decision ECB/2001/15 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Final provision
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2007.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2921/95 of 18 December 1995 laying down detailed rules for compensation for reductions in certain agricultural conversion rates
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 allows Member States to make payments to farmers to compensate for reductions in agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies; whereas that Regulation also lays down certain conditions concerning the grant of aid, upper limits on such payments by Member States, their development over time and provided for them to be financed either in total or in part by the Community budget;
Whereas to take account of the Communities international commitments and for reasons of sound management it is necessary to lay down certain, in particular, procedural arrangements to be followed by Member States intending to apply compensation payments;
Whereas to fulfil the compensation objective it is necessary for Member States to grant aid within set time limits, as a general rule directly to beneficiaries, in principle farmers, at rates which do not exceed their imputed income loss and without conditions relating to its use; whereas, however, to avoid the burdens of systems involving the grant of small amounts to beneficiaries, simplified implementing provisions may be used when the average level of aid is below a given threshold;
Whereas during the period when compensatory aid can be granted an increase may occur in the agricultural conversion rate of the national currency of the Member State concerned; whereas in such a case it would be necessary to examine whether any unpaid annual aid amounts should be granted;
Whereas it is necessary to define the operating event which determines the agricultural conversion rate to convert amounts fixed in ecu in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 into national currencies;
Whereas the relevant management committees have not delivered opinions within the time limits set by their chairmen,
This Regulation defines the implementing rules for applying compensatory aid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 without prejudice to the methodology and criteria to be used for the examination under Article 4 of that Regulation of the effects on incomes in agriculture of the reductions in agricultural conversion rates.
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4:
(a) Member States may grant aid only through annual payments to beneficiaries without conditions relating to its use; and (b) aid may be granted only to agricultural holdings, the definition of such holdings being established by the Member State concerned on the basis of objective criteria.
2. The amounts in ecu set in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 shall be converted into national currency with the agricultural conversion rate valid immediately preceding the first reduction in this rate covered by that Regulation.
1. The amount of aid granted to each beneficiary must be linked for farm size for a period prior to 1 July 1995.
2. For the purpose of assessing farm size account shall be taken only of production for which the reduction in agricultural conversion rate has had a significant impact.
The distribution of the total aid amount which may be granted shall reflect at a macro economic level the proportional share of the loss of all sectors where this significant impact has occurred.
3. Member States may set minimum farm sizes only to the extent necessary to facilitate administration of the aid.
4. In all cases aid must be in conformity with the international commitments of the Community.
When the total compensatory aid which is to be granted for any annual tranche divided by the estimated number of agricultural holdings concerned is below ECU 400, aid for all beneficiaries may be granted for the tranche concerned for measures concerning the agricultural sector:
- of collective, general interest, and/or
- where Community provisions allow Member States to grant national aid, provided the intensities under State aid policy are respected.
The introduction of the measures in question shall not exceed the duration of the three annual tranches referred to in Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 and shall be completed within six months of that period.
To be eligible for Community finance the measures must be additional either by their nature and/or aid intensity to those that Member State would have applied in the absence of the aid and not to benefit from other Community aid.
1. A request for authorization to grant aid must be made by a Member State to the Commission by 30 June 1996. That request shall include information sufficient to enable the Commission to verify the compatibility as required by paragraph 3.
2. A Member State intending to grant aid must adopt the national implementing measures within one year from the date of the Commission decision, or of prior notice of the Member State, provided for in paragraph 4.
3. The Commission, in conformity with the procedure laid down in Article 93 (3) of the Treaty and in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, shall verify the compatibility of aid requests with this Regulation and with Regulation (EC) No 1527/95.
4. The Commission shall decide whether to approve an aid within two months of receipt of the request referred to in paragraph 1. If the Commission does not take a decision within that period, the measures envisaged may be implemented provided the Member State has given prior notice to the Commission of its intention so to act.
1. The Member State concerned shall submit to the Commission each year a report on implementation of the aid measures giving details of amounts paid. The first such report shall be submitted no later than 18 months after either the Commission decision or the Member State has given due notice in conformity with Article 5 (4).
2. Aid schemes shall be reviewed by the Commission in the event of an increase in agricultural conversion rates being introduced for the currency of the Member State concerned before the beginning of the second or third successive 12 month tranches of aid are due to be granted. Taking account of the impact of such devaluations on farm incomes the Commission, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (1), may decide that successive aid tranches shall not be granted or their size shall be reduced.
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 the quantity of pigmeat sold under the existing provisions has been insufficient; whereas it seems unlikely that the remaining quantity will be sold within a reasonable period; whereas, as a result, storage charges may become excessive; whereas, in any event, some of the pigmeat in question is no longer fit for human consumption;
Whereas, in the circumstances, processing into products for uses other than for human consumption is an additional worthwhile outlet;
Whereas an additional monthly tender should therefore be provided for in respect of specific quantities to be processed into products for uses other than for human consumption;
Whereas in this case certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 should not be applied while others should be relaxed; whereas, on the other hand, provision should be made for at least the total sterilization of this meat in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (1) (a) of Council Directive 80/215/EEC on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (8);
Whereas in the light of the experience acquired in applying Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 it is necessary to increase the period for the taking over by the purchaser of meat purchased in accordance with the Regulation in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EEC) No 2858/85 is amended as follows:
1. The following Article 2 (a) is added:
'Article 2 (a)
1. The Belgian intervention agency shall draw up an additional monthly notice of invitation to tender for specific quantities of pigmeat to be processed into products intended for uses other than for human consumption.
Where the first subparagraph applies, the provisions of Articles 3 (2) (c), 9 (2) (c), 12 (2) (a), (3) and (4) shall not apply.
2. The notice of invitation to tender shall state:
(a) the description of the products;
(b) the time-limit and place for submission of tenders;
(c) the formalities regarding provision of the security for tenders and the obligations regarding storage, treatment and disposal;
(d) where appropriate, a statement that tenders may be submitted by telex.
3. Each invitation to tender shall relate to specific quantities which shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75. For the first invitation to tender, that quantity is fixed at 8 000 tonnes.
4. Invitations to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities at least seven days before the expiry of the period for the submission of tenders. The Belgian intervention agency shall also publish the notice of invitation to tender in the Moniteur Belge and wherever else considered appropriate.
5. By way of derogation from Article 3 (1), for the first invitation to tender under this Article the time limit for the submission of tenders is hereby fixed at 12 noon on Thursday, 16 January 1986 (Belgian time).'
2. In Articles 3 (2) and 9 (2) the following point shall be inserted:
'(cc) where Article 2 a applies, the quantity of meat for which the tender is submitted and a description of the product or products into which the meat is to processed;'.
3. In Articles 4 (1), 10 (1) and 13 (1) the following subparagraph shall be added:
'Where Article 3 a applies this security is reduced to 10 ECU per tonne.'
4. In Article 8 (1) the following subparagraph shall be added:
'Where Article 2 a applies the fixed price shall be equal to the minimum sale price mentioned in Article 5.'
5. In Article 12 (2) the following point shall be added:
'(aa) where Article 2 a applies, the meat shall be processed into products intended for uses other than for human consumption; for this purpose the meat shall be subjected to a treatment which is at least equal to the treatment laid down in Article 4 (1) (a) of Directive 80/215/EEC;'.
6. In Article 17 the words '10 working days' shall be replaced by '30 days'.
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.

16.10.2013 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 275/3
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 990/2013
of 15 October 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 as regards exports of milk and milk products to the United States of America and the Dominican Republic
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 161(3), 170 and 171(1), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Section 2 of Chapter III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 (2) lays down provisions as regards export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States under certain GATT quotas. Experience with certain of those quotas has shown that, because of the continuously evolving market circumstances, in particular high price volatility, increased competition and changes in currency conversion rates, which occur in the long time lapse between the period for submission of applications for export licences (‘licence applications’) and the moment in which exports take place, exporters may not be able to use their licences and as a result lose the related securities. In order that exporters are not discouraged from applying for those quotas for which the time lapse is set in agreement with the authorities of the Unites States, it is necessary to reduce the applicable rate of the security, starting from the quota year 2015.
(2) Article 22(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 provides that for the quotas opened by the Unites States licence applications are subject to the lodging of a security in accordance with Article 9 thereof. Being part of the Chapter on general rules in Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009, Article 9 sets the mechanism for calculating the security for exports not benefiting from trade preferences granted by third countries. Therefore, in view of the experience with the preferential quotas opened by the United States and to render them more attractive to exporters, it is necessary, in addition to reducing the rate of the security, to specify that Article 9 in its entirety should not apply to those quotas.
(3) Section 3 of Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 provides for the conditions and the procedure to which the exporters are submitted for participating in the milk powder quota opened by the Dominican Republic. Whilst the quota has been fully used since its introduction until the quota year 2010/2011, it appears that as from the quota year 2011/2012 the total quantities applied for are lower than the available quota quantity.
(4) With a view to maximising the use of the quota in the following years, it is necessary to adjust the rules as regards eligibility, applicable quantities, periods for submission of licence applications and security.
(5) In addition, to make the quota more easily accessible to the exporters, the requirements concerning the minimum historical trade performance when applying for the quota part referred to in Article 28(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 should be alleviated.
(6) In order to maximize the use of the quota and for the sake of simplification, the maximum quantities for which licence applications can be lodged, as laid down in Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009, should be increased to the quota quantity levels. The minimum quantity for which licence applications can be lodged should be fixed at 20 tonnes.
(7) The long time lapse between the period for submission of licence applications, as laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009, and the quota year during which exports take place, as well as the high price volatility in the dairy sector and an increased competition for milk powders in the Dominican Republic have enhanced the risk for exporters to remain with licences that are not or only partially used, resulting in a loss of the related security. It is therefore appropriate to defer the submission of licence applications from April to May and to provide for a second allocation period.
(8) Moreover, a reduction of the security referred to in Article 28(3) would encourage operators not to refrain from applying for licences and should therefore be provided for. It is also necessary to specify that Article 9 should not apply to the preferential quota opened by the Dominican Republic in order to render that quota more attractive to exporters.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2870/95 (2), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3076/95 of 22 December 1995 allocating, for 1996, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3), provides for saithe quotas for 1996;
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 saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I, II a, b (Norwegian waters North of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1996; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 26 April 1996; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date;
Catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I, II a, b (Norwegian waters North of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 1996.

of 12 August 2004
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 August 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1256/97(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings(3), as last amended by Commission Decision 96/393/EC(4), is the basis for the classification of agricultural holdings by economic size and type of farming both in the farm structure surveys and under the farm accountancy data network (FADN); whereas the Community typology is also the basis for calculating the European size units (ESU) and the thresholds used to delimit the field of observation and to draw up the plan for selecting the returning holdings included or to be included in the FADN;
(2) the results of the farm structure surveys, classified by ESU and type of farming serve as a basis for defining the field of observation of the FADN, which serves as a basis for selecting and weighting the FADN farm sample; whereas the selection of returning holdings for the field of observation must be representative in terms of the objectives of each of the analyses planned;
(3) Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88(5), as last amended by Commission Decision 98/377/EC(6), has been extended to provide for a series of surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings from 1998 to 2007 and lists the characteristics to be surveyed;
(4) the structure and content of the list of survey characteristics for 1999/2000 Community basic survey have been amended, so that the characteristics in the new list differ from those recorded in the previous surveys and it is therefore necessary to adapt Decision 85/377/EEC to the lists of survey characteristics laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 571/88;
(5) a modification of the economic size classes of holdings applied in the Community typology is appropriate to show the development in the structure of agriculture within the Community;
(6) the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinions of the Community Committee for the farm accountancy data network and of the Standing Committee for agricultural statistics,
Annexes II and III of Decision 85/377/EEC are amended as follows:
1. Annex II:
(a) the heading of Part C, Section I, is replaced by the following text: "Codes regrouping several characteristics included in the 1999/2000 farm structure survey";
(b) in part C, Section II, the correspondence table is replaced by the table in Annex I to this Decision.
2. Annex III:
Part C is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2828/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down common rules on verification of the use and/or destination of imported products falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2046/92 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Whereas the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC lays down the descriptions and definitions of the olive oils and olive residue oils marketed within each Member State and traded between the Member States and with third countries;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2658/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 620/93 (4), lays down the characteristics of olive oils and olive residue oils and the relevant methods of analysis;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5), whose Annexes I and II were last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2505/93 (6), provides that oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 are to be subject to import duties equal to 15 % of the customs value;
Whereas the physico-chemical characteristics of the oils falling within the abovementioned tariff heading are such as to prevent their being marketed as products accepted for marketing as olive oil; whereas, however, these characteristics may be modified simply by mixing with other oils; whereas, therefore, to ensure that the system of levies on olive oil imports is applied correctly, measures must be taken to ensure that oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 cannot be diverted from the uses to which they must be put;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3566/92 (7), on the documents to be used for the purpose of implementing Community measures entailing verification of the use and/or destination of goods supplies the customs instruments needed in order to monitor the movement of imported oils within the Community and to prevent their being diverted to uses not provided for in the agricultural legislation applicable to the sector in question; whereas applying that Regulation in the case of imports of oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 may reduce the risk which currently exists until the special rules for the application of the Common Customs Tariff are amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The placing in free circulation of oils falling within CN codes 1515 90 59 and 1515 90 99 shall be subject to the issue of a T5 control copy in accordance with the procedure laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3566/92.
The customs office where the customs formalities for release to free circulation are completed shall issue the T5 control copy after a security has been provided which is equal to the difference between the amount of customs duties paid and the amount of the minimum levy applicable, on the day on which the import declaration is accepted, to olive oil falling within CN code 1509 10 10, plus the amount of the security referred to in Article 17 of Commision Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 (8) applicable on the same date to the product.
Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:
- the destination and/or use of the oils is verified,
- products placed in free circulation are not stored with other oils or fats.
Products placed in free circulation shall be regarded as having met the requirements concerning use and/or destination where, except cases of force majeure, within 12 months:
- the have been placed, either in the unaltered state or after processing, in packagings with a content of not more than five litres as oils other than olive oils,
or
- they have been used or processed into products other than olive oils.
The intervention agency shall be responsible for verifying the use and/or destination of the products concerned, unless the competent authorities of the Member States designate another control body.
The security referred to in Article 1 shall be released on presentation of the T5 control copy duly certified by the bodies which checked the operations in respect of which the T5 control copy was issued.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall also apply to products which, on the date on which it enters into force, have been placed in free circulation but are still stored in customs warehouses.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to avoid a disruption on the markets in the sugar sector following the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (new Member States) to the European Union on 1 May 2004, Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 provides that quantities of sugar as such or in processed products, isoglucose and fructose exceeding the quantity considered as being normal carry-over stock at 1 May 2004 have to be eliminated from the market in the form of sugar as such or isoglucose at the expense of the new Member State concerned.
(2) In order to determine those surplus quantities, Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 provides that new Member States shall communicate to the Commission relevant information on quantities of production, consumption, stocks, export and import, as well as information on the system established for the identification of surplus quantities.
(3) In general, surplus quantities of sugar are considered to result from the development of production plus import minus export for the period from 1 May 2003 to 30 April 2004, compared to the average of the same quantities for the same period of the three previous years. Specific circumstances of stock-piling were also taken into consideration as provided for in Article 6(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004, especially the decrease in the level of stocks during that period.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 9 October 1990
amending the Directive 79/695/EEC on the harmonization of procedures for the release of goods for free circulation
(90/504/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, with regard to the procedures for the release of goods for free circulation, Title II of Directive 79/695/EEC (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4046/89 (5), provides for special procedures, containing, in particular, in subtitles A, B and C, provisions concerning exemption from written entries, the drawing up of general, periodic or recapitulative entries and release of goods before lodging of entry;
Whereas the said provisions indicate in what manner and under what conditions the competent authorities may authorize use of simplified procedures for the release of goods for free circulation;
Whereas the conditions under which importers are entitled to use such a procedure should be defined as precisely as possible; whereas a distinction must be drawn between two types of procedure, namely the local clearance procedure and the simplified declaration procedure;
Whereas specific Community provisions apply where goods previously placed under a customs procedure with economic impact are released for free circulation;
Whereas the simplified procedures for the release of goods for free circulation are of considerable economic importance to the customs union and the internal market; whereas, in a single market, importers must be able to enjoy the same facilities irrespective of where goods are released for free circulation;

Council Regulation (EC) No 78/2008 of 21 January 2008 on the measures to be undertaken by the Commission in 2008-2013 making use of the remote-sensing applications developed within the framework of the common agricultural policy
|
30.1.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 25/1
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 78/2008
of 21 January 2008
on the measures to be undertaken by the Commission in 2008-2013 making use of the remote-sensing applications developed within the framework of the common agricultural policy
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 33(2)(a) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the common agricultural policy (CAP) is to take account of the particular nature of agricultural activity, which results from the social structure of agriculture and from structural and natural disparities between the various agricultural regions. In this respect, it is necessary to have information on the condition of land and crops in this context, notably for the management of the common organisations of the markets. Remote-sensing applications can provide some of the information required to this end, provided that they can cover all the areas of interest for the management of the agricultural markets.
(2) Experience gained in 2004-2007, within the framework of Decision No 1445/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2000 on the application of aerial-survey and remote-sensing techniques to the agricultural statistics for 1999 to 2003 (2), as amended, and prior decisions such as, notably, Council Decision 88/503/EEC of 26 September 1988 adopting a pilot project on remote sensing applied to agricultural statistics (3), has enabled the agro-meteorological system for forecasting yields and monitoring land and crop conditions to achieve an advanced operational and development stage, and to demonstrate its effectiveness.
(3) Remote sensing has thus demonstrated that it provides a response tailored to the management needs of the CAP, and that the needs identified cannot be met by the traditional agricultural statistics and forecasting systems. It has also enhanced the accuracy, objectivity, speed and frequency with which observations are made, and has helped perfect agricultural forecasting models, in particular by establishing regionally based models. Finally, remote sensing has facilitated the development of specific and ancillary applications for the establishment and collection of agricultural statistics, and has enabled savings to be made in the costs of monitoring and control of agricultural expenditure. Provision should, therefore, be made for the continuation of these remote sensing applications using financing from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) in the period 2008-2013, pursuant to Article 3(2)(e) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4).
(4) The detailed implementing rules for measures to be undertaken by the Commission within the framework of the CAP making use of remote sensing should, however, be adjusted and reorganised, and the operational measures undertaken within the framework of this system should be separated from those which require more research and development work. Separate provision should therefore be made for the latter measures in the framework programme for research and development.
(5) It should also be laid down that the information and estimates which result from the measures undertaken and are held by the Commission be made available to the Member States, and the European Parliament and the Council should be informed by means of an interim and a final report of the conditions for implementation of the remote-sensing measures undertaken and on the use of the resources made available to the Commission, accompanied, where appropriate, by a proposal to continue these measures beyond the period laid down in this Regulation,
1. From 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013, the measures undertaken by the Commission making use of remote-sensing applications within the framework of the common agricultural policy (CAP) may be financed by the EAGF, pursuant to Article 3(2)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, where their aim is to give the Commission the means to:
(a) manage agricultural markets;
(b) ensure agro-economic monitoring of agricultural land and of the condition of crops, to enable estimates to be made, in particular as regards yields and agricultural production;
(c) promote access to the estimates referred to in point (b);
(d) ensure technological follow-up of the agro-meteorological system.
2. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be in particular:
(a) collection or purchase of data needed to implement and monitor the CAP, in particular satellite data and meteorological data;
(b) creation of a spatial data infrastructure and a website;
(c) carrying out specific studies on climatic conditions;
(d) updating agro-meteorological and econometric models.
Where necessary, these measures shall be carried out in close collaboration with national laboratories and bodies.
The Commission shall make the information and estimates which result from the measures referred to in Article 1(1) available to the Member States electronically.
Detailed rules for the implementation of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, in particular as regards making available the information and estimates referred to in Article 2 of this Regulation.
Not later than 31 July 2010 and 31 July 2013 respectively, the Commission shall submit an interim and a final report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of the remote-sensing measures and on the use of the financial resources made available to it under this Regulation.
Where appropriate, the final report shall be accompanied by a proposal to continue these measures within the framework of the CAP.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
