Commission Regulation (EC) No 1370/2005 of 22 August 2005 initiating a review of Council Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 and (EC) No 1976/2004 extending definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating, inter alia, in India, to imports of that product consigned from, inter alia, Israel for the purposes of determining the possibility of granting an exemption from those measures to one Israeli exporter, repealing the anti-dumping duty with regard to imports from that exporter and making imports from that exporter subject to registration
23.8.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 218/3 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1370/2005 of 22 August 2005 initiating a review of Council Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 and (EC) No 1976/2004 extending definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating, inter alia, in India, to imports of that product consigned from, inter alia, Israel for the purposes of determining the possibility of granting an exemption from those measures to one Israeli exporter, repealing the anti-dumping duty with regard to imports from that exporter and making imports from that exporter subject to registration THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (1) of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic anti-dumping Regulation), and in particular Articles 11(4) and 13(4) thereof, and to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (2) of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic anti-subsidy Regulation) and in particular Articles 20 and 23(3) thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A.   EXISTING MEASURES (1) The Council, by Regulations (EC) No 1676/2001 (3) and No 2597/1999 (4) imposed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures respectively on PET film originating, inter alia, in India (the original measures). By Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 (5) and (EC) No 1976/2004 (6), the Council extended these measures to PET film consigned from Israel (the extended measures) with the exception of imports consigned by one company specifically mentioned. B.   REQUEST FOR A REVIEW (2) The Commission has received a request for an exemption pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 13(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Articles 20 and 23(3) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation from the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures extended to imports of PET film consigned from Israel. The application was lodged by Hanita Coatings Rural Cooperative Association Ltd (the applicant). The applicant is a producer in Israel (the country concerned). C.   PRODUCT (3) The product under examination is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film consigned from Israel (the product concerned) normally declared within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 and 3920 62 90. D.   GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW (4) The applicant alleges that it did not export the product concerned to the Community under CN codes ex 3920 62 19 or ex 3920 62 90 during the investigation period used in the investigation that lead to the extended measures, i.e. 1 January to 31 December 2003. The applicant further alleges that subsequent to the extension of measures the company was informed that, for the first time, certain of its exported products were being classified under 3920 62 19 on importation into the Community and consequently subject to the extended measures. (5) Furthermore, the applicant alleges that it is not related to exporting producers subject to measures imposed on the product concerned, and that it has not circumvented the measures applicable to PET film of Indian origin. E.   PROCEDURE (6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received. (7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 13(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Articles 20 and 23(3) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation for the purposes of determining the possibility of granting the applicant an exemption from the extended measures. (a)   Questionnaires (8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant. (b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings (9) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard. F.   REPEAL OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS (10) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, the anti-dumping duties in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the examination result in a finding of circumvention in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this examination. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding. G.   TIME LIMITS (11) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which: — interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 8 of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation, — interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission. H.   NON-COOPERATION (12) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, on the basis of the facts available. (13) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated, A review of Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 and (EC) No 1976/2004 is hereby initiated pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Articles 20 and 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 in order to establish whether the imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film falling within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 or ex 3920 62 90 consigned from Israel by Hanita Coatings Rural Cooperative Association Ltd, Kibbutz Hanita, 22885, Israel (TARIC additional code A691), should be subject to the anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 and (EC) No 1976/2004. The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1975/2004 is hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of the present Regulation. The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation. 1.   Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 8 of this Regulation or any other information, unless otherwise specified, within 40 days of the entry into force of this Regulation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in Council Regulations (EC) No 384/96 and (EC) No 2026/97 depends on the party’s making itself known within the aforementioned period. Interested parties may also apply in writing to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit. 2.   All submissions and requests made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax, and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (7) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and with Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘FOR INSPECTION BY INTERESTED PARTIES’. Any information relating to the matter and/or any request for a hearing should be sent to the following address: European Commission Directorate General for Trade Directorate B Office: J-79 5/16 B-1049 Brussels Fax (32-2) 295 65 05. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5) All the proposed new locations in Bulgaria and Romania, put forward as border inspection posts with third countries, have been inspected by the Food and Veterinary Office of the Commission who have recommended that those completed satisfactorily should be approved by the Commission. Therefore, those locations should be included in the list of border inspection posts. (6) Decision 2001/881/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

2006/863/EC: Council Decision of 13 November 2006 amending Decision 2004/793/EC concluding the consultation procedure with the Togolese Republic under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement
1.12.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 335/42 COUNCIL DECISION of 13 November 2006 amending Decision 2004/793/EC concluding the consultation procedure with the Togolese Republic under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement (2006/863/EC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1), and revised in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (2), and in particular Article 96 thereof, Having regard to the internal agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: (1) Council Decision 2004/793/EC of 15 November 2004 concluding the consultation procedure with the Togolese Republic under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement (4) lays down a period of 24 months from the date of its adoption for monitoring the appropriate measures. (2) The political emergency following President Eyadema’s death in 2005 was an unforeseen event that set back the initial timetable for implementing the undertakings given by the Togolese government and prevented the objectives from being attained by the initial deadline, in particular the organisation of early parliamentary elections. (3) At the end of this monitoring period many undertakings have been fulfilled and practical steps taken towards fulfilling the main undertakings still outstanding. Nevertheless several important measures concerning essential elements of the Cotonou Agreement have yet to be implemented, The validity of Decision 2004/793/EC concluding the consultation procedure with the Togolese Republic pursuant to Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement shall be extended for 12 months, to 15 November 2007. It shall be regularly reviewed every six months.

Commission Directive 2006/36/EC of 24 March 2006 amending Directive 2001/32/EC recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community and repealing Directive 92/76/EEC
25.3.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 88/13 COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/36/EC of 24 March 2006 amending Directive 2001/32/EC recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community and repealing Directive 92/76/EEC THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) thereof, Whereas: (1) By Commission Directive 2001/32/EC (2), certain Member States or certain areas in Member States were recognised as protected zones in respect of certain harmful organisms. In some cases recognition was granted provisionally, because the information necessary to show that the harmful organism in question was not present in the Member State or area concerned had not been provided. (2) Where the Member States concerned have now provided the necessary information, the zones in question should be recognised as permanent protected zones. (3) Certain regions of Portugal were recognised as protected zones with respect to Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations). (4) Portugal has submitted information showing that Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations) is now established in some parts of its territory. Those parts of the Portuguese territory should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism. (5) Various regions or parts of regions in Austria and Italy, and the whole territory of Ireland, Lithuania, Slovenia and Slovakia, were provisionally recognised as protected zones with respect to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. until 31 March 2006. (6) From information supplied by Austria, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, Slovenia and Slovakia, it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zones for those countries in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should exceptionally be extended for two years to give those countries the necessary time to submit information showing that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is not present or, where necessary, to complete their efforts to eradicate that organism. (7) In addition, as Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in some parts of Italy, in the Gorenjska and Maribor regions of Slovenia and in some communes of the Dunajská Streda, Levice, Topoľčany, Poltár, Rožňava and Trebišov Counties in Slovakia, these respective parts of the Italian, Slovenian and Slovakian territory should no longer be recognised as a protected zone for Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. (8) Lithuania was provisionally recognised as a protected zone for beet necrotic yellow vein virus until 31 March 2006. (9) Lithuania has submitted information showing that beet necrotic yellow vein virus is now established in that country. Lithuania should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism. (10) Malta was provisionally recognised as a protected zone with respect to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains) until 31 March 2006. (11) From information supplied by Malta, it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zone for that country in respect of Citrus tristeza virus (European strains) should exceptionally be extended for two years to give that country the necessary time to submit information showing that Citrus tristeza virus (European strains) is not present or, where necessary, to complete its efforts to eradicate that organism. (12) Cyprus was provisionally recognised as a protected zone with respect to Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch), Ips sexdentatus Börner and Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say until 31 March 2006. (13) From information supplied by Cyprus, it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zone for that country in respect of Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch), Ips sexdentatus Börner and Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say should be extended for two years to give that country the necessary time to submit information showing that those harmful organisms, are not present or, where necessary, to complete its efforts to eradicate them. (14) Directive 2001/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. (15) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health, Directive 2001/32/EC is amended as follows: 1) Article 1 is replaced by the following: 2) Article 2 is deleted. 3) The Annex is amended as follows: (a) In point 2 of heading (a), the words in brackets after ‘Portugal’ are replaced by the following words ‘Azores, Beira Interior, Beira Litoral, Entre Douro e Minho, Madeira, Ribatejo e Oeste (communes of Alcobaça, Alenquer, Bombarral, Cadaval, Caldas da Rainha, Lourinhã, Nazaré, Obidos, Peniche and Torres Vedras) and Trás-os-Montes’.

If a Member State intends to make use of the provisions of paragraph 2, the rules referred to in that paragraph shall be sent to the Commission not later than three months prior to their coming into force. The Commission shall consult the Member States. In the light of these consultations the Commission shall propose that the rules be finally agreed upon in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC. 1.

Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that, in the course of collection, transport and temporary storage, waste is properly packaged and labelled in accordance with the international and Community standards in force. 2. In the case of hazardous waste, inspections concerning collection and transport operations made on the basis of Article 13 of Directive 75/442/EEC shall cover more particularly the origin and destination of such waste. 3. Where hazardous waste is transferred, it shall be accompanied by an identification form containing the details specified in Section A of Annex I to Council Directive 84/631/EEC of 6 December 1984 on the supervision and control within the European Community of the transfrontier shipment of hazardous waste (1), as last amended by Directive 86/279/EEC (2). 1. As provided in Article 7 of Directive 75/442/EEC, the competent authorities shall draw up, either separately or in the framework of their general waste management plans, plans for the management of hazardous waste and shall make these plans public. 2. The Commission shall compare these plans, and in particular the methods of disposal and recovery. It shall make this information available to the competent authorities of the Member States which ask for it. In cases of emergency or grave danger, Member States shall take all necessary steps, including, where appropriate, temporary derogations from this Directive, to ensure that hazardous waste is so dealt with as not to constitute a threat to the population or the environment. The Member State shall inform the Commission of any such derogations. 1. In the context of the report provided for in Article 16 (1) of Directive 75/442/EEC, and on the basis of a questionnaire drawn up in accordance with that Article, the Member States shall send the Commission a report on the implementation of this Directive. 2.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 97/2008 of 1 February 2008 fixing a complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 2007/2008
2.2.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 29/3 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 97/2008 of 1 February 2008 fixing a complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 2007/2008 THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 29(4), Whereas: (1) Article 29(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that, during the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years and in order to ensure adequate supply to Community refineries, import duties on a complementary quantity of imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States referred to in Annex VI to that Regulation are to be suspended. (2) That complementary quantity should be calculated in accordance with Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years for the import and refining of sugar products under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2), on the basis of an exhaustive Community forecast supply balance for raw sugar. For the 2007/2008 marketing year, the balance indicated the need to import a complementary quantity of raw sugar so that the Community refineries' supply needs can be met. (3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1545/2007 of 20 December 2007 fixing the complementary quantity of raw cane-sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008 (3) fixed a first complementary quantity of 80 000 tonnes to meet the most urgent supply needs for the first months of the 2007/2008 marketing year. Within the framework of the Economic Partnership Agreements, the additional market access of sugar will be for the 2008/2009 marketing year only. Adequate supply of raw sugar for refining for the refining industry for the 2007/2008 marketing year therefore depends on the availability of complementary quantities. To ensure this supply, it is appropriate to open a supplementary quantity of complementary sugar of 120 000 tonnes for the marketing year 2007/2008. (4) This adequate supply of the refineries can only be guaranteed if the traditional export agreements between the beneficiary countries are respected. Therefore a breakdown between the beneficiary countries or group of countries is needed. For India, a quantity of 4 000 tonnes is opened. This brings India's complementary quantity for the 2007/2008 marketing year in line with its share of the total complementary quantity of the 2006/2007 marketing year. The remaining quantities should be fixed for the ACP States, which have collectively undertaken to implement between themselves procedures for the allocation of the quantities in order to ensure the appropriate supply of the refineries. (5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, In addition to the quantities laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1545/2007, a complementary quantity of 120 000 tonnes of complementary raw cane sugar in white sugar equivalent is fixed for the marketing year 2007/2008: (a) 116 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the States listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 except India; (b) 4 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in India. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

21.12.2013 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 349/54 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1397/2013 of 17 December 2013 establishing a prohibition of fishing for herring in EU and Norwegian waters of IV north of 53° 30′ N by vessels flying the flag of United Kingdom THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION , Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof, Whereas: (1) Council Regulation (EU) No 40/2013 of 21 January 2013 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreements (2), lays down quotas for 2013.

Decision No 586/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 amending Decision No 896/2006/EC establishing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by the Member States of certain residence permits issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein for the purpose of transit through their territory
21.6.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 162/27 DECISION No 586/2008/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 17 June 2008 amending Decision No 896/2006/EC establishing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by the Member States of certain residence permits issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein for the purpose of transit through their territory THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 62(2)(a) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1), Whereas: (1) Decision No 896/2006/EC (2) establishes common rules on unilateral recognition by the Member States of certain residence permits issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein allowing a simplified regime for the control at the external borders of third country nationals who hold these documents. (2) As a result of the two-step implementation of the Schengen acquis, those Member States that joined the European Union on 1 May 2004 were required, as from that date, to issue national visas to third country nationals who hold a residence permit issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein and who are subject to a visa obligation under Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement (3). That requirement created additional administrative burdens on the consulates of those Member States in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. (3) However, it did not appear necessary for Member States to require that category of persons to hold a visa for the purpose of transit, as they represent a low illegal immigration risk for the Member States. (4) Considering that the same reasoning applies to Bulgaria and Romania, the simplified regime introduced by Decision No 896/2006/EC should be extended to Bulgaria and Romania. (5) Such amendment of Decision No 896/2006/EC should allow Bulgaria and Romania, if they decide to apply Decision No 582/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania of certain documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purposes of transit through their territories (4), to recognise unilaterally the residence permits issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein which are listed in the Annex to Decision No 896/2006/EC as equivalent to their national transit visas. (6) Recognition should be limited to the purpose of transit through the territory of Bulgaria and Romania and should not affect the possibility for those two Member States to issue visas for short-term stay. (7) The possibility for Bulgaria and Romania not to apply Decision No 896/2006/EC should be limited to the transitional period until the date to be determined by the Council in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession. (8) The entry conditions laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (5) have to be fulfilled, with the exception of the condition laid down in Article 5(1)(b) thereof, insofar as this Decision sets up an equivalence regime between transit visas issued by Bulgaria and Romania and certain residence permits issued by Switzerland and Liechtenstein. (9) Since the objective of this Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States as it directly affects the Community acquis on external borders and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. (10) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis  (6), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point (A) of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 (7) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement (11) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the Position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Decision builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark shall, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the date of adoption of this Decision whether it will implement it in its national law. (12) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis  (8); the United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application. (13) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis  (9). Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application, The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 2 of Decision No 896/2006/EC: ‘If Bulgaria and Romania decide to apply Decision No 582/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania of certain documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purposes of transit through their territories (10), they may unilaterally recognise the residence permits listed in the Annex to this Decision as equivalent to their national transit visa until the date to be determined by the Council, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession. If Bulgaria and Romania decide to apply Decision No 896/2006/EC, they shall notify the Commission thereof within 10 working days of the date of entry into force of this Decision. The Commission shall publish the information communicated by them in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision is addressed to the Member States in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community.

(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product. (3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector. (4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing. (5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties. (6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation, The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 are fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

Prior to any payment, that agency shall assess, in accordance with the volumetric method of measurement, the quantities for which a written offer was submitted by the seller in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1528/96. 1. Payment shall be made for the quantity indicated in the written offer referred to in Article 1 and entered in the stock records of the storer, provided it does not exceed by more than 6 % the quantity established by the volumetric measurement method. 2. Whereas the quantity indicated in the offer and entered in the stock records of the storer is greater by more than 6 % than the quantity established by the volumetric measurement method, payment shall be made for the quantity established in accordance with that method plus 6 %. 3. However, at the request of the seller, payment shall be made for the quantity established by weighing carried out by the intervention agency. The costs of weighing shall be borne by the seller where the weight established during this operation is less than the quantity indicated in the written offer referred to in Article 1 less the percentage of normal loss permittedduring storage laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 147/91. They shall be borne by the intervention agency where the weight established is equal to the quantity indicated in the offer less than aforementioned percentage. The storer shall reimburse to the intervention agency the value of the goods and bear all costs of entry into storage, removal from storage and storage, and financing for the shortfall in quantities in relation to the quantity purchased by the intervention agency established during subsequent weighing. This Article shall not apply where Article 2(3) is applied. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2001 of 22 November 2001 fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2001 of 22 November 2001 fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof, Whereas: (1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds. (3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff. (4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export. (5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported. (6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period. (7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 November 2001. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(5) The preferential customs duty fixed for multiflorous (spray) carnations originating in Israel by Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 was suspended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 401/2003(8).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2002 of 13 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for 2003 for manioc originating in Thailand
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2002 of 13 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for 2003 for manioc originating in Thailand THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations(1), and in particular Article 1(1) thereof, Whereas: (1) During the World Trade Organisation multilateral trade negotiations, the Community undertook to open a tariff quota restricted to 21 million tonnes of products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 originating in Thailand per four-year period, with customs duty reduced to 6 %. This quota must be opened and administered by the Commission. (2) It is necessary to keep an administration system which ensures that only products originating in Thailand may be imported under the quota. The issue of an import licence should therefore continue to be subject to the presentation of an export certificate issued by the Thai authorities, a specimen of which has been notified to the Commission. (3) Since imports to the Community market of the products concerned have traditionally been administered on the basis of a calendar year, this system should be retained. A quota must therefore be opened for 2003. (4) The import of products covered by CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 is subject to the presentation of an import licence in accordance with 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(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(3), and with 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(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1322/2002(5). (5) In the light of past experience and taking into account that the Community concession provides for an overall quantity for four years with an annual maximum of 5500000 tonnes, it is advisable to maintain measures which, under certain conditions, either facilitate the release for free circulation of quantities of products exceeding those given in the import licences, or allow the difference between the figure given in the import licences and the smaller figure actually imported to be carried forward. (6) In order to ensure the correct application of the agreement, a system of strict and systematic controls is needed that take account of the information given on the Thai export certificates and the Thai authorities' procedures for issuing export certificates. (7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, CHAPTER I OPENING OF THE QUOTA 1. An import tariff quota for 5500000 tonnes of manioc falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 originating in Thailand is hereby opened for the period 1 January to 31 December 2003. The customs duty applicable is hereby fixed at 6 % ad valorem. The serial number of the quota shall be 09.4008. 2. The products referred to in paragraph 1 shall benefit from the arrangements provided for in this Regulation on condition that they are imported under import licences issued subject to the submission of a certificate for export to the European Community issued by the Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, Government of Thailand, hereinafter referred to as an "export certificate".

Export certificates shall be completed in English. 3. The original and copies of export certificates shall be completed in typescript or in handwriting. In the latter case, they must be completed in ink and in block capitals. 4.

Export certificates issued from 1 January to 31 December 2003 shall be valid for 120 days from the date of issue. The date of issue of the certificate shall be included in the period of validity of the certificate. For the certificate to be valid, its different sections must be properly completed and duly authenticated in accordance with paragraph 2. In the "shipped weight" section, the quantity must be written out in full and also given in figures. 2. The export certificate shall be duly authenticated when it indicates the date of issue and bears the stamp of the issuing body and the signature of the authorised person or persons.

Commission Directive 2008/80/EC of 28 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO) as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance)
29.7.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 200/15 COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/80/EC of 28 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO) as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof, Whereas: (1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO). (2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, K-HDO has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC. (3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 22 March 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007. (4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report. (5) Although the risk assessment was limited to very specific application systems, it appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing K-HDO may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include K-HDO in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing K-HDO can be granted, modified or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC. (6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the Community level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States pay particular attention to the risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels. (7) In particular, in view of the possible risks for the environment and workers, authorisations for products to be used in other systems than industrial, fully automated and closed ones should not be granted unless the application for product authorisation demonstrates that risks can be reduced to acceptable levels in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. (8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that products containing K-HDO be used with appropriate protective equipment. In view of the risks identified for infants, it is also appropriate to require that K-HDO not be used for the treatment of wood that may come in direct contact with infants. (9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance K-HDO and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general. (10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion. (11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing K-HDO to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC. (12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. (13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products, Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Transposition 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2009 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive. They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2010. When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made. 2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive. This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund. (3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1. (4) To ensure the more balanced management of quantities exported with a refund, an allocation coefficient should be set for tenders presented at the level of the maximum refund. (5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, The maximum export refund on wholly milled and parboiled long-grain B rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1877/2003 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 1 to 4 December 2003 at 290,00 EUR/t.

(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article. (3) The occurrence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of audits to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended. (4) In particular, for consignments of almonds originating from Australia, pistachios originating from the United States and dried apricots originating from Uzbekistan, the relevant sources of information indicate the emergence of new risks requiring the introduction of an increased level of official controls. Entries concerning those consignments should therefore be included in the list. (5) In addition, it is necessary to amend the endnotes set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 in order to ensure that the controls carried out by the Member States in accordance with that Regulation target at least the pesticides listed in the control programme adopted in accordance with Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3) that can be analysed with multi-residue methods based on GC-MS and LC-MS. It is also appropriate to maintain individual endnotes as regards certain pesticides which are not listed in that control programme or which may require, in one or more Member States, a single-residue method in order to be analysed. (6) In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. (7) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. (8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

2000/439/EC: Council Decision of 29 June 2000 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the expenditure incurred by Member States in collecting data, and for financing studies and pilot projects for carrying out the common fisheries policy
Council Decision of 29 June 2000 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the expenditure incurred by Member States in collecting data, and for financing studies and pilot projects for carrying out the common fisheries policy (2000/439/EC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2), Whereas: (1) Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(3), provides that the situation as regards fishery resources, and its economic implications, needs to be assessed regularly. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000(4) establishes a Community framework for the collection and management of the fisheries data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy (CFP). (3) By collecting these data, Member States are carrying out a task which is beneficial to the Community in that it contributes to the more efficient management of the common resources. While implementation of the programmes is the responsibility of the Member States, they should therefore qualify for a contribution from the Community towards certain costs incurred in collecting and managing the said data. (4) The action taken by the Commission to assist the collection of these data through annual calls for proposals financed as FIFG innovative measures has reached a level of stability. This action should be consolidated, therefore, on a multiannual basis. (5) A financial reference, within the meaning of point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 May 1999, is included in this Decision for the entire duration of the period for which financial assistance is to be provided, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as defined by the Treaty. (6) In order to guarantee the necessary financial resources, the preparation of the national programmes and the corresponding Commission decision to co-finance them should take place the year before their execution. (7) Provision should be made to ensure, in 2001, the collection of basic data needed to conduct the CFP. (8) The methods used to collect and process the basic data on fisheries should be compared, and ways should be sought of improving them. The quality of the results obtained should be examined and assessed regularly. (9) Financial assistance should therefore be granted to explore the possibilities and usefulness of extending the scope of the Community framework for the collection and management of basic data. (10) The pilot projects and studies needed to carry out the CFP should be eligible for support, in particular for economic and bio-economic analyses, work on eliminating and preventing overcapacity, and the relations between fisheries, aquaculture and the development of aquatic ecosystems. (11) Steps should be taken to ensure the satisfactory outcome of the measures financed under this Decision. (12) In order to facilitate implementation of these provisions, there should be a procedure for close cooperation between Member States and the Commission within a management committee. (13) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5). (14) Rules should be laid down governing the eligibility of the expenditure, the level of the Community contribution and the terms on which it will be made available, 1. The Community may provide financial assistance for the measures referred to in this Decision under the terms and conditions laid down herein. 2. The financial reference for the implementation of the measures for which financial assistance is provided for the period 2000 to 2005 shall be EUR 132 million.

A financial contribution may be granted for measures connected with extended Community programmes only on condition that the Member State concerned fully meets the requirements for the minimum Community programme and that the annual Community appropriations available under this Decision have not been exhausted by the financial contribution for the minimum programme. 1. Member States wishing to receive a financial contribution shall present to the Commission, not later than 31 May 2001, - a national programme as defined in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000, - their annual expenditure forecasts for the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2006, for which they wish to receive a financial contribution from the Community. 2.

When submitting applications for the reimbursement of expenditure, Member States shall take all appropriate steps to verify and certify: - that the measures implemented and the expenditure incurred under the Commission decision taken pursuant to Article 4(3) correspond to the programme accepted by the Commission, - that the said expenditure complies with the conditions set out in this Decision, in particular in the Annex, - that contracts are awarded in accordance with the legislation on public procurement. 1. The Commission representatives may carry out on-the-spot checks, inter alia, by random sampling, on the measures financed under this Decision, and study the control arrangements and measures put in place by the national authorities to prevent and penalise irregularities and, where necessary, recover funds lost as a result of an irregularity. 2. The Commission may carry out all the checks it considers necessary to ensure compliance with the conditions and the performance of the tasks imposed by this Decision on the Member States, which shall assist the representatives appointed for this purpose by the Commission. 1. The report to be drafted by the Commission by 31 December 2003 pursuant to Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 shall also analyse the cost/benefit ratio of the work carried out. 2. On the basis of the report referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall examine whether there is any need to amend this Decision or improve its application and present, as appropriate, a proposal to the Council. TITLE II Studies and pilot projects 1. The Commission may carry out studies and pilot projects. 2.

2005/135/EC: Council Decision of 11 May 2004 abrogating the decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in Portugal
18.2.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 47/24 COUNCIL DECISION of 11 May 2004 abrogating the decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in Portugal (2005/135/EC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof, Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission, Whereas: (1) By Council Decision 2002/923/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Portugal. (2) In accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty, the Council made a Recommendation addressed to Portugal with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end (2). That Recommendation, in conjunction with Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit, procedure (3), established a deadline for the correction of the excessive deficit, which should be completed in the year following its identification, i.e. 2003 at the latest. (3) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected. (4) The definitions of ‘government’ and ‘deficit’ are laid down in the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure by reference to the European System of Integrated Economic Accounts (ESA), second edition. The data for the excessive deficit procedure are provided by the Commission. (5) Based on the data provided by the Commission after reporting by Portugal before 1 March 2004 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (4), and on the Commission Spring 2004 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted: — The general government deficit is estimated at 2,8 % of GDP in 2003, compared with 2,7 % in 2002 and 4,4 % in 2001. The outcome for 2003 complied with the Council Recommendation issued under Article 104(7), particularly as regards the reduction of the government deficit below the reference value of 3 % of GDP by 2003 at the latest. Fiscal adjustment was pursued in 2003 on the back of a sustained deceleration in the pace of total current primary expenditure growth from 8,9 % in 2001 to 7,8 % in 2002 and 4,1 % in 2003. However, the current cyclical downturn, which ended in a recession in 2003, led to a significant deviation of 2,6 percentage points between the GDP growth outcome for the year and the initial budgetary projection. As a result, a massive shortfall in tax revenue developed during 2003, which had to be offset by the adoption of two one-off measures, together worth 2,1 % of GDP. — The structural measures taken by the Portuguese authorities, having a more direct impact on public finances, fall mainly on three areas: (i) public administration; (ii) the healthcare sector; and (iii) education. In particular, the quasi-freeze of wage scales and employment in the civil service in the period 2003-2004 is expected to have favourable base effects in the future, thereby having a significant structural impact. In addition, the Portuguese authorities estimate that the ongoing comprehensive reform in the healthcare sector has already had, in 2003, some positive effects on both expenditure savings and productivity gains. — The Commission 2004 Spring forecast projects a general government deficit of 3,4 % of GDP for 2004, thereby significantly above the official target of a deficit of 2,8 % of GDP. The difference can basically be accounted for by: (i) somewhat lower growth than assumed in the budget; (ii) base effects associated with the one-off measures taken in 2003; and (iii) the planned partial replacement so far of such one-off measures. Therefore, additional measures are needed in order to prevent the government deficit from rising above the 3 % of GDP reference value in 2004 and following years. — After the cut-off date for the Commission Spring 2004 forecast, the Portuguese authorities made public their intention to carry out further (real-estate related) operations to allow the deficit to stay below 3 % of GDP in the current year. — According to the values reported in the first 2004 EDP notification, the government debt ratio was kept below the 60 % of GDP reference value in 2003, thereby in accordance with the Council Recommendation issued under Article 104(7), although it has steadily increased since 2001, and according to the Commission Spring 2004 forecast, is projected to exceed that value in 2004. (6) Decision 2002/923/EC should therefore be abrogated. However, in the light of the risks to the budgetary position highlighted by the Commission Spring 2004 forecast, it is of the utmost importance that the Portuguese authorities take the appropriate measures to ensure that the general government deficit remains below 3 % of GDP in 2004 and beyond. Given the continued sizeable negative output gap projected up to 2005, and in order to maintain the momentum of budgetary consolidation, recourse to further temporary measures is acceptable in the short-term. In this regard, the Portuguese authorities should publicly confirm the measures planned and their respective amounts, until measures of a more structural nature exert their full exonerating effect on public finances. (7) For the consolidation to be sustained and in order to eventually achieve the medium-term objective of a budgetary position of close to balance or in surplus, in line with the broad economic policy guidelines, all one-off measures should be gradually replaced by measures of a more permanent nature, while the cyclically adjusted budgetary position should improve by at least 0,5 of a percentage point of GDP per year, From an overall assessment it follows that the correction of the excessive deficit situation in Portugal was completed in 2003, under the terms of the Recommendation addressed to Portugal on 5 November 2002 in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty. Decision 2002/923/EC is hereby abrogated. This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

DECISION No 69/2000/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 December 1999 amending the basic Decision relating to the third phase of the "Youth for Europe" programme so as to include Turkey among the beneficiary countries THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 149 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2), Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(3), Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(4), Whereas: (1) Decision No 818/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 1995 adopts the third phase of the "Youth for Europe" programme(5), in which Turkey does not participate; (2) Turkey is an associated country whose links with the Community have been substantially bolstered with the entry into force of the final phase of the Customs Union; (3) the economic and trade links instituted by the Customs Union should be strengthened by closer cooperation in the field of education, training and youth; (4) a considerable amount of time needs to be allowed, on the one hand, between the amendment of the Decision establishing the said programme, which is the subject of this Decision, enabling it to be opened up to Turkey and the end of the negotiations on the arrangements (particularly financial arrangements) for Turkey's participation and, on the other, between the end of those negotiations and its actual participation; (5) the principle of such an opening-up, however, apart from giving a tangible sign of the European Union's oft-repeated willingness to develop sectoral cooperation with Turkey, makes it possible to undertake preparatory measures and measures to increase awareness, with a view to full participation in the said programme or in the future framework programme which is currently being drawn up, The second sentence of Article 7(4) of Decision No 818/95/EC shall be replaced by the following: "This programme shall be open to the participation of Cyprus, Malta and Turkey on the basis of additional appropriations in accordance with procedures to be agreed with the countries in question, taking as a starting point the rules applied to the EFTA countries, and in compliance with the provisions of Article 3 of the Financial Regulation in force." This Decision concerns full or partial participation at the earliest possible date by Turkey in the "Youth for Europe" programme in its current form, to the extent permitted by negotiations, as well as the launch of preparatory measures or measures to increase awareness with a view to such participation or to that provided for under the future framework programme (2000 to 2004). The purpose of the participation of Turkey in the "Youth for Europe" programme is to enable genuine exchanges to take place between young people from both sides and the staff accompanying them, while respecting their linguistic, educational and cultural diversity, in accordance with Article 149(1) of the Treaty, and the rights of minorities. The European Parliament shall be kept informed of the various measures taken to implement this Decision. This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2072/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the target price for milk and the intervention prices for butter, skimmed-milk powder and Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses for two annual periods from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1995
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2072/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the target price for milk and the intervention prices for butter, skimmed-milk powder and Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses for two annual periods from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1995 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 Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (3) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1). Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2). Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3), Whereas the policy adopted by the Community since accession as regards prices and, in particular, the introduction of the system of agricultural stabilizers and the new guidelines for the common agricultural policy cannot bring about, in the manner provided for in Article 285 of the Act of Accession, the process of alignment of the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal on the common price; whereas the common price was fixed for the 1992/93 marketing year at ECU 172,43/100 kg and the Portuguese prices for the same period at ECU 207/100 kg; whereas in order that the existing gap between these prices should not be widened but, on the contrary, closed, the relevant arrangements in the Act of Accession should be adapted; whereas the principle should be adopted of aligning the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal on the common price in stages; Whereas, given the pressing need to improve the balance between supply and demand, the Council decided as from April 1993 to extend the additional levy scheme instituted in the milk and milk-products sector and reduce the guaranteed total quantities fixed under that scheme, without prejudice to a review in the light of the market situation; whereas, given the foreseeable reduction in milk production costs following the fall in the prices of cereals and concentrates, the target price for milk should be reduced in order to improve the competitive position of milk products; whereas, therefore, the target price for milk must be reduced in relation to other agricultural products; Whereas it is, moreover, necessary to take into consideration the long-term balance between supply and demand on the milk market, account being taken of external trade, and accordingly to fix the target price for milk in a multiannual framework, without prejudice to subsequent adjustments necessitated by the market trend; Whereas the intervention prices for butter and for skimmed-milk powder are intended to contribute to the achievement of the target price for milk; whereas it is necessary to determine their levels in the light of the overall supply and demand situation on the Community milk market and the opportunities for disposal of butter and skimmed-milk powder on the Community and world markets; whereas the competitive position of butter necessitates a reduction only in the intervention price for butter, whilst the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder remains unchanged; Whereas it is appropriate that the gap between the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal and the common prices be closed in three stages corresponding to each of the annual periods covered by the multiannual framework in which the target price for milk is fixed; whereas it has been observed that the level of the market prices obtaining in Portugal for skimmed-milk powder is such that alignment effected in this way is not likely to have a negative effect on the said product; Whereas the intervention prices for Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (4), The gap between the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal and the common price shall be eliminated by an alignment in three stages between the Portuguese prices and the common prices. The first alignment shall take place on 1 July 1993. The common price shall be applied in Portugal on 1 July 1995. The target price for milk and the intervention prices for milk products shall be set as follows, without prejudice to later adaptations. 1. For the period from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 (ECU/100 kg) Community except Portugal Portugal (a) target price for milk 26,47 26,47 (b) intervention price for: - butter 285,46 285,46 - skimmed-milk powder 172,43 195,48 - Grana Padano cheese: - between 30 and 60 days old 372,71 - - at least six months old 463,21 - - Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, at least six months old 512,07 - 2. For the period from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 (ECU/100 kg) Community except Portugal Portugal (a) target price for milk 26,13 26,13 (b) intervention price for: - butter 278,14 278,14 - skimmed-milk powder 172,43 183,95 - Grana Padano cheese: - between 30 and 60 days old 369,84 - - at least six months old 460,18 - - Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, at least six months old 509,04 - This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
