|
Commission Decision
of 14 May 1981
establishing that the apparatus described as "Arenberg-R. F. pulsed oscillator, model PG-655-C with accessories", may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(81/373/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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 [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 4 November 1980, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Arenberg-R. F. pulsed oscillator, model PG-655-C with accessories", to be used for research involving the measurement of the speed of ultrasonic waves in new materials of physical interest, 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 26 March 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an oscillator;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the power and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus ;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as "Arenberg-R. F. pulsed oscillator, model PG-655-C with accessories", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 4 November 1980, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2355/89 (3) amends Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 laying down detailed rules for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (4); whereas the latter amendment involves in particular specifying the time limits for distillers to provide the intervention agency with proof of payment of the price of the wine to the producer and the penalties where such time limits are not complied with; whereas, contrary to the intention expressed within the Management Committee, it is not clear that the penalty in the case of an overrun in the time limit laid down in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 also applies if the distiller has applied for an advance for the distillation operation in question; whereas the second subparagraph of point 5 of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2355/89 should accordingly be corrected to that end;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The second subparagraph of point 5 of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2355/89 is hereby preceded by '3a'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1172/91 of 6 May 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 470/91 on the temporary suspension of the system of accession compensatory amounts for common feed wheat
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, and in particular Article 257 thereof, and to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 of 22 December 1987 extending the period referred to in Articles 90 (1) and 257 (1) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3836/90 (2),

Whereas market prices for maize are very high throughout the Community owing to the shortage of supplies following the drought in the summer of 1990; whereas the shortage of maize is offset by the availability of large quantites of common wheat; whereas, however, as regards Portugal, given the difference between the price for common wheat and for other feed grain, the substitution of common wheat for maize in feedingstuffs in Portugal cannot take place under comparable economic conditions to those in the other Member States;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 470/91 (5) counteracts this situation by temporarily suspending until 30 April 1991 the system of accession compensatory amounts for consignments of common wheat that have undergone a treatment which makes the grain unsuitable for human consumption;
Whereas given that this situation still persists, the temporary suspension should be extended for another month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 1
In Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 470/91 'until 30 April 1991' is replaced by 'until 31 May 1991'. Article 2

|
COMMISSION DECISION of 28 January 1998 amending Decision 96/301/EC and authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt (98/105/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Directive 97/14/EC (2), and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,
Whereas, where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger of the introduction into its territory of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith, the cause of potato brown rot, from a third country, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger;
Whereas France, on the basis of continued interceptions of Pseudomonas solanacearum in potatoes originating in Egypt adopted on 19 March 1996 measures to implement a ban on potatoes originating in Egypt, with a view to ensuring more efficient protection against the introduction of Pseudomonas solanacearum from Egypt into France;
Whereas Finland adopted on 4 April 1996 similar measures against the introduction of that organism into Finland;
Whereas Spain and Denmark subsequently adopted such measures on 16 April and 22 April 1996 respectively against the introduction into their respective territories;
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 96/301/EC (3), authorised Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt;
Whereas during the import season 1996/97 there have been considerable numbers of interceptions of Pseudomonas solancearum (Smith) Smith on imports of potatoes originating in Egypt;
Whereas, therefore it has become apparent that the additional measures referred to in Decision 96/301/EC, are not sufficient to prevent the entry of Pseudomonas solanacearum or have not been complied with;
Whereas in such a situation Decision 96/301/EC should be strengthened and the import into the Community of potatoes originating in Egypt be banned unless the emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as laid down in the Annex to this Decision are complied with;
Whereas in relation to the requirements laid down in point 25.2 of Annex IV, part A, section I to Directive 77/93/EEC and on the basis of information provided by Egypt, of international scientific and technical information and of experience gained on imports in the past, it is apparent that Egypt is known to be free from Clavibacter michiganensis spp. sepedonicus;
Whereas, because of concern for possible latent infection of potatoes by Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith the additional measures include testing for the presence of the organism in Egypt in potatoes intended for export to the Community as well as a monitoring testing programme of the said potatoes on entry into the Community and appropriate controls on the waste disposal after packaging or processing of the said potatoes in the Community;
Whereas the effects of the emergency measures will be assessed continually, in the import season 1997/98, and possible subsequent measures applicable to the introduction of potatoes originating in Egypt, will be considered in the light of the results of that assessment;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 96/301/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The text of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'The entry into the territory of the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. which originate in Egypt, other than those already prohibited under the provisions laid down in Annex III, part A, point 10 to Directive 77/93/EEC, shall be prohibited with effect from 1 February 1998 unless with reference to certain areas in Egypt, the measures applicable to tubers grown in these areas and as laid down in the Annex of this Decision, are complied with. The measures specified in point 1(c) and (d) of the Annex shall apply only to consignments leaving Egypt after the Commission has informed Egypt of these measures.`
2. The text in Article 2 is replaced by the following:
'The importing Member States shall provide the Commission and the other Member States, before 30 August 1998, with information on the amounts imported pursuant to this Decision and with a detailed technical report on the official examination referred to in point 2 of the Annex; copies of each plant health certificate shall be transmitted to the Commission. In cases of notification of a suspect or confirmed finding as referred to in point 4 of the Annex copies of the plant health certificates and their attached documents shall be transmitted with the said notification.`
3. In Article 4 '30 November 1996` is replaced by '30 September 1998`.
4. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/13/EEC
of 5 April 1993
on unfair terms in consumer contracts
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 A 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 it is necessary to adopt measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market before 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which goods, persons, services and capital move freely;
Whereas the laws of Member States relating to the terms of contract between the seller of goods or supplier of services, on the one hand, and the consumer of them, on the other hand, show many disparities, with the result that the national markets for the sale of goods and services to consumers differ from each other and that distortions of competition may arise amongst the sellers and suppliers, notably when they sell and supply in other Member States;
Whereas, in particular, the laws of Member States relating to unfair terms in consumer contracts show marked divergences;
Whereas it is the responsibility of the Member States to ensure that contracts concluded with consumers do not contain unfair terms;
Whereas, generally speaking, consumers do not know the rules of law which, in Member States other than their own, govern contracts for the sale of goods or services; whereas this lack of awareness may deter them from direct transactions for the purchase of goods or services in another Member State;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the establishment of the internal market and to safeguard the citizen in his role as consumer when acquiring goods and services under contracts which are governed by the laws of Member States other than his own, it is essential to remove unfair terms from those contracts;
Whereas sellers of goods and suppliers of services will thereby be helped in their task of selling goods and supplying services, both at home and throughout the internal market; whereas competition will thus be stimulated, so contributing to increased choice for Community citizens as consumers;
Whereas the two Community programmes for a consumer protection and information policy (4) underlined the importance of safeguarding consumers in the matter of unfair terms of contract; whereas this protection ought to be provided by laws and regulations which are either harmonized at Community level or adopted directly at that level;
Whereas in accordance with the principle laid down under the heading ‘Protection of the economic interests of the consumers’, as stated in those programmes: ‘acquirers of goods and services should be protected against the abuse of power by the seller or supplier, in particular against one-sided standard contracts and the unfair exclusion of essential rights in contracts’;
Whereas more effective protection of the consumer can be achieved by adopting uniform rules of law in the matter of unfair terms; whereas those rules should apply to all contracts concluded between sellers or suppliers and consumers; whereas as a result inter alia contracts relating to employment, contracts relating to succession rights, contracts relating to rights under family law and contracts relating to the incorporation and organization of companies or partnership agreements must be excluded from this Directive;
Whereas the consumer must receive equal protection under contracts concluded by word of mouth and written contracts regardless, in the latter case, of whether the terms of the contract are contained in one or more documents;
Whereas, however, as they now stand, national laws allow only partial harmonization to be envisaged; whereas, in particular, only contractual terms which have not been individually negotiated are covered by this Directive; whereas Member States should have the option, with due regard for the Treaty, to afford consumers a higher level of protection through national provisions that are more stringent than those of this Directive;
Whereas the statutory or regulatory provisions of the Member States which directly or indirectly determine the terms of consumer contracts are presumed not to contain unfair terms; whereas, therefore, it does not appear to be necessary to subject the terms which reflect mandatory statutory or regulatory provisions and the principles or provisions of international conventions to which the Member States or the Community are party; whereas in that respect the wording ‘mandatory statutory or regulatory provisions’ in Article 1 (2) also covers rules which, according to the law, shall apply between the contracting parties provided that no other arrangements have been established;
Whereas Member States must however ensure that unfair terms are not included, particularly because this Directive also applies to trades, business or professions of a public nature;
Whereas it is necessary to fix in a general way the criteria for assessing the unfair character of contract terms;
Whereas the assessment, according to the general criteria chosen, of the unfair character of terms, in particular in sale or supply activities of a public nature providing collective services which take account of solidarity among users, must be supplemented by a means of making an overall evaluation of the different interests involved; whereas this constitutes the requirement of good faith; whereas, in making an assessment of good faith, particular regard shall be had to the strength of the bargaining positions of the parties, whether the consumer had an inducement to agree to the term and whether the goods or services were sold or supplied to the special order of the consumer; whereas the requirement of good faith may be satisfied by the seller or supplier where he deals fairly and equitably with the other party whose legitimate interests he has to take into account;
Whereas, for the purposes of this Directive, the annexed list of terms can be of indicative value only and, because of the cause of the minimal character of the Directive, the scope of these terms may be the subject of amplification or more restrictive editing by the Member States in their national laws;
Whereas the nature of goods or services should have an influence on assessing the unfairness of contractual terms;
Whereas, for the purposes of this Directive, assessment of unfair character shall not be made of terms which describe the main subject matter of the contract nor the quality/price ratio of the goods or services supplied; whereas the main subject matter of the contract and the price/quality ratio may nevertheless be taken into account in assessing the fairness of other terms; whereas it follows, inter alia, that in insurance contracts, the terms which clearly define or circumscribe the insured risk and the insurer's liability shall not be subject to such assessment since these restrictions are taken into account in calculating the premium paid by the consumer;
Whereas contracts should be drafted in plain, intelligible language, the consumer should actually be given an opportunity to examine all the terms and, if in doubt, the interpretation most favourable to the consumer should prevail;
Whereas Member States should ensure that unfair terms are not used in contracts concluded with consumers by a seller or supplier and that if, nevertheless, such terms are so used, they will not bind the consumer, and the contract will continue to bind the parties upon those terms if it is capable of continuing in existence without the unfair provisions;
Whereas there is a risk that, in certain cases, the consumer may be deprived of protection under this Directive by designating the law of a non-Member country as the law applicable to the contract; whereas provisions should therefore be included in this Directive designed to avert this risk;
Whereas persons or organizations, if regarded under the law of a Member State as having a legitimate interest in the matter, must have facilities for initiating proceedings concerning terms of contract drawn up for general use in contracts concluded with consumers, and in particular unfair terms, either before a court or before an administrative authority competent to decide upon complaints or to initiate appropriate legal proceedings; whereas this possibility does not, however, entail prior verification of the general conditions obtaining in individual economic sectors;
Whereas the courts or administrative authorities of the Member States must have at their disposal adequate and effective means of preventing the continued application of unfair terms in consumer contracts,
1. The purpose of this Directive is to approximate the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to unfair terms in contracts concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer.
2. The contractual terms which reflect mandatory statutory or regulatory provisions and the provisions or principles of international conventions to which the Member States or the Community are party, particularly in the transport area, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Directive.
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) ‘unfair terms’ means the contractual terms defined in Article 3;
(b) ‘consumer’ means any natural person who, in contracts covered by this Directive, is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business or profession;
(c) ‘seller or supplier’ means any natural or legal person who, in contracts covered by this Directive, is acting for purposes relating to his trade, business or profession, whether publicly owned or privately owned.
1. A contractual term which has not been individually negotiated shall be regarded as unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer.
2. A term shall always be regarded as not individually negotiated where it has been drafted in advance and the consumer has therefore not been able to influence the substance of the term, particularly in the context of a pre-formulated standard contract.
The fact that certain aspects of a term or one specific term have been individually negotiated shall not exclude the application of this Article to the rest of a contract if an overall assessment of the contract indicates that it is nevertheless a pre-formulated standard contract.
Where any seller or supplier claims that a standard term has been individually negotiated, the burden of proof in this respect shall be incumbent on him.
3. The Annex shall contain an indicative and non-exhaustive list of the terms which may be regarded as unfair.
1. Without prejudice to Article 7, the unfairness of a contractual term shall be assessed, taking into account the nature of the goods or services for which the contract was concluded and by referring, at the time of conclusion of the contract, to all the circumstances attending the conclusion of the contract and to all the other terms of the contract or of another contract on which it is dependent.
2. Assessment of the unfair nature of the terms shall relate neither to the definition of the main subject matter of the contract nor to the adequacy of the price and remuneration, on the one hand, as against the services or goods supplies in exchange, on the other, in so far as these terms are in plain intelligible language.
In the case of contracts where all or certain terms offered to the consumer are in writing, these terms must always be drafted in plain, intelligible language. Where there is doubt about the meaning of a term, the interpretation most favourable to the consumer shall prevail. This rule on interpretation shall not apply in the context of the procedures laid down in Article 7 (2).
1. Member States shall lay down that unfair terms used in a contract concluded with a consumer by a seller or supplier shall, as provided for under their national law, not be binding on the consumer and that the contract shall continue to bind the parties upon those terms if it is capable of continuing in existence without the unfair terms.
2. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the consumer does not lose the protection granted by this Directive by virtue of the choice of the law of a non-Member country as the law applicable to the contract if the latter has a close connection with the territory of the Member States.
1. Member States shall ensure that, in the interests of consumers and of competitors, adequate and effective means exist to prevent the continued use of unfair terms in contracts concluded with consumers by sellers or suppliers.
2. The means referred to in paragraph 1 shall include provisions whereby persons or organizations, having a legitimate interest under national law in protecting consumers, may take action according to the national law concerned before the courts or before competent administrative bodies for a decision as to whether contractual terms drawn up for general use are unfair, so that they can apply appropriate and effective means to prevent the continued use of such terms.
3. With due regard for national laws, the legal remedies referred to in paragraph 2 may be directed separately or jointly against a number of sellers or suppliers from the same economic sector or their associations which use or recommend the use of the same general contractual terms or similar terms.
Member States may adopt or retain the most stringent provisions compatible with the Treaty in the area covered by this Directive, to ensure a maximum degree of protection for the consumer.
The Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council concerning the application of this Directive five years at the latest after the date in Article 10 (1).

1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 31 December 1994. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
These provisions shall be applicable to all contracts concluded after 31 December 1994.
2. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
3. Member States shall communicate the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive to the Commission.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 of 22 December 2004 fixing for 2005 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 lays down the possibility to increase the Community’s fishing opportunities for blue whiting and herring when third countries do not respect a responsible management of those stocks.
(2) In disregard of the allocation of fishing opportunities in zones I and II applied by the coastal States concerned since 1997, Norway has recently increased its fishing opportunities of herring by an additional quantity of 14 %. It appears therefore that Norway does not respect a responsible management of the herring stock.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IC to Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
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.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/34/EC
of 17 May 2005
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include etoxazole and tepraloxydim as active substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, France received on 21 April 1998 an application from Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe SA for the inclusion of the active substance etoxazole, formerly also called ‘etoxazol’, in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) Spain received an application under Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC on 11 September 1997 from BASF AG for the inclusion of the active substance tepraloxydim in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 98/512/EC (3) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For those active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The designated rapporteur Member States submitted draft assessment reports concerning the substances to the Commission on 8 October 2001 (etoxazole) and 21 January 2002 (tepraloxydim).
(4) The draft assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 3 December 2004 in the format of the Commission review reports for etoxazole and tepraloxydim.
(5) The review of etoxazole and tepraloxydim did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants or of the European Food Safety Authority.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include etoxazole and tepraloxydim in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) After inclusion of etoxazole and tepraloxydim in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing those substances and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2005 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 December 2005.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall 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.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing etoxazole or tepraloxydim to ensure that the conditions relating to those active substances set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw authorisations in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 November 2005 at the latest.
2. For each authorised plant protection product containing etoxazole or tepraloxydim as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2005 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing etoxazole or tepraloxydim as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2006 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing etoxazole or tepraloxydim as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2006 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2005.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 of 27 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a quality other than high quality from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (2), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 opens an annual tariff quota of 2 988 387 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality. That quota is divided into three subquotas.
(2) Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 fixes a quantity of 597 991 tonnes for subquota III (serial number 09.4125) for the period 1 July to 30 September 2006.
(3) The quantities applied for by 13.00 (Brussels time) on Monday 14 August 2006 in accordance with Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 exceed the quantities available.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides and, where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.
(2) MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported by the necessary data.
(3) The Commission was informed that for several pesticides current MRLs may need to be revised in the light of the availability of new information on the toxicology and consumer intake. The Commission has asked the relevant rapporteur Member States to make proposals for the review of Community MRLs. Such proposals were submitted to the Commission.
(4) The lifetime and short-term exposure of consumers to the pesticides referred to in this Directive via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organization (5). On that basis, it is appropriate to fix new MRLs, which will ensure that there is no unacceptable consumer exposure.
(5) Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to those pesticides via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organization. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the new MRLs will not cause acute toxic effects.
(6) Through the World Trade Organization, the Community’s trading partners have been consulted about the new MRLs and their comments on these levels have been taken into account.
(7) The Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.
Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Directive.
Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 20 January 2007 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.

(2) Commission 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) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (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 26 September 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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.

of 28 September 2009
authorising certain Member States to revise their annual BSE monitoring programmes
(notified under document C(2009) 6979)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/719/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals and requires each Member State to carry out an annual monitoring programme for TSEs based on active and passive surveillance, in accordance with Annex III to that Regulation.
(2) Those annual monitoring programmes are to cover as a minimum certain sub-populations of bovine animals as provided in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. Those sub-populations are to include all bovine animals above 24 or 30 months of age, the age limit depending on categories laid down in points 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(3) Article 6(1b) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 says that Member States which can demonstrate an improvement in their epidemiological situation, according to certain criteria, may apply for their annual monitoring programmes to be revised.
(4) Annex III (Chapter A, Part I, Point 7) to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 says which information has to be submitted to the Commission and which epidemiological criteria have to be complied with by Members States wishing to revise their annual monitoring programmes.
(5) On 17 July 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a scientific opinion (2) which provided an assessment on the level of additional risk to human and animal health following the implementation of a revised bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) monitoring regime in the 15 countries which were members of the Community before 1 May 2004. The opinion concluded that less than one BSE case would be missed annually in those Member States if the age of bovine animals covered by the programme was increased from 24 months to 48 months.
(6) Commission Decision 2008/908/EC of 28 November 2008 authorising certain Member States to revise their annual BSE monitoring programme (3) was adopted, based on that EFSA opinion, as well as on the assessment of individual applications by those 15 Member States.
(7) On 1 September 2008, Slovenia submitted to the Commission an application to revise its annual BSE monitoring programme.
(8) The Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) carried out an inspection in that Member State in January 2009 in order to verify compliance with the epidemiological criteria laid down in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(9) The results of that inspection acknowledged the proper implementation in Slovenia of the rules on protective measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. In addition, all the requirements laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 6(1b) and all the epidemiological criteria set out in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 were checked and found to be met by Slovenia.
(10) On 29 April 2009, EFSA published a new scientific opinion on the updated risk for human and animal health related to the revision of the BSE monitoring regime in some Member States (4). That opinion also assessed the situation in Slovenia and concluded that less than one BSE case would be missed annually in those Member States if the age of the bovine animals covered by the BSE monitoring was increased from 24 months to 48 months.
(11) In view of all available information, the application submitted by Slovenia to revise its annual BSE monitoring programme has been favourably evaluated. It is therefore appropriate to authorise Slovenia to revise its annual monitoring programme and to lay down 48 months as the new age limit for BSE testing in that Member State.
(12) For epidemiological reasons, it should be provided that the revised monitoring programmes may only be applied to bovine animals which were born in a Member State that is authorised to revise its monitoring programme.
(13) In order to ensure the uniform application of Community legislation, it is appropriate to lay down rules on the age limit for testing in the case of bovine animals born in one Member State but tested in a second one.
(14) In the interest of clarity and consistency of Community legislation, Decision 2008/908/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Member States listed in the Annex may revise their annual monitoring programmes as provided for in Article 6(1b) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 (the revised annual monitoring programmes).
1. The revised annual monitoring programmes shall apply only to the bovine animals born in the Member States listed in the Annex and shall cover at least all bovine animals above 48 months of age belonging to the following sub-populations:
(a) animals as referred to in point 2.1 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;
(b) animals as referred to in point 2.2 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;
(c) animals as referred to in point 3.1 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
2. When bovine animals belonging to the sub-populations referred to in paragraph 1 and born in one of the Member States listed in the Annex are tested for BSE in another Member State, the age limits for testing in force in the Member State where the tests are performed shall apply.
Decision 2008/908/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 (2), and in particular Article 4(1) and (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2334/97, imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on certain imports of flat pallets of wood falling within CN code ex 4415 20 20 originating in the Republic of Poland and accepted undertakings offered from certain producers in connection with these imports. Sampling was applied to Polish producers/exporters and individual duties ranging from 4,0 % to 10,6 % were imposed on the companies in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample received a weighted average duty of 6,3 %. A duty of 10,6 % was imposed on companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate in the investigation. The producers from which undertakings were accepted were exempted from anti-dumping duties with regard to imports of one specific pallet type, the EUR-pallet, which is the only pallet type covered by the undertakings.
(2) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 stipulates that any party which provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:
- it did not export to the Community or produce wooden pallets described in Article 1(1) of that Regulation during the investigation period,
- it is not related to any of the producers or exporters in Poland which are subject to the anti-dumping duties imposed by that Regulation,
- it has actually exported to the Community the goods concerned after the investigation period, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community;
then that Regulation can be amended by granting that party the duty rate applicable to cooperating producers which were not in the sample, i.e. 6,3 %.
Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 provided that any party which met the criteria set out in Article 4(1) thereof can also be exempted from the payment of the anti-dumping duty if an undertaking with regard to the so-called EUR-pallet had been accepted from such party.
B. NEW EXPORTERS' REQUEST
(3) Eighteen new Polish exporting producers having requested the same treatment as the companies which cooperated in the original investigation but were not included in the sample, have provided, on request, evidence showing that they meet the requirements set out in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97. The evidence provided by these applicant companies is considered sufficient to allow Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 to be amended by adding these eighteen exporting producers to Annex I of the said Regulation. Annex I specifies the exporting producers which are to be subject to the weighted average duty of 6,3 %.
(4) Ten of the eighteen Polish exporting producers which will receive the weighted average duty of 6,3 %, have also offered undertakings with regard to the EUR-pallet which were accepted by Commission Decision 98/554/EC (3). Consequently, these ten companies should be added to Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 which contains a list of companies from which the Commission has accepted undertakings with regard to imports of the EUR-pallet and to which the duty does not, therefore, apply in this respect,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 is hereby replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 is hereby replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1749/96 of 9 September 1996 on initial implementing measures for Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 concerning harmonized indices of consumer prices
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 of 23 October 1995 concerning harmonized indices of consumer prices (1), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas each Member State is required to produce a harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) starting with the index for January 1997;
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 requires that the scope of the HICP shall be the goods and services available for purchase in the economic territory of the Member State for the purposes of directly satisfying consumer needs;
Whereas the coverage of the existing consumer price indices produced by the Member States, practices followed for the inclusion of newly significant goods and services, procedures for adjusting prices for quality changes of the items priced, methods of combining prices to form price indices for elementary aggregates, or sampling methods and practices for obtaining prices differ between Member States to the extent that the resulting consumer price indices produced by the Member States fail to meet the comparability requirement necessary for the production of the HICP;
Whereas the practice of using previous prices as substitutes for the current monthly prices differs from the use of prices collected to the extent that the resulting consumer price indices produced by the Member States fail to meet the comparability requirement necessary for the production of the HICP;
Whereas it is necessary to include newly significant goods and services in both HICPs the weights of which are updated annually and those the weights of which are updated less frequently;
Whereas implementing measures are necessary for ensuring comparability of HICPs in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95;
Wheres in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, the Commission (Eurostat) is required to submit a report to the Council on the reliability of the HICP's and their compliance with the comparability requirements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC), established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (2);
Whereas the European Monetary Institute has been consulted in conformance with Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 and has given a positive opinion,
I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Aim
The aim of this Regulation is to establish for the purpose of the production of a comparable harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) produced by each Member State:
- the initial coverage of goods and services as well as comparable practices for updating the coverage to include newly significant consumer goods and services,
- minimum standards for the procedures of quality adjustment,
- minimum standards for the prices used,
- the formula for compiling price indices for the elementary aggregates.
The aim is also to ensure that the sampling of prices is such that the HICPs are sufficiently reliable for the purpose of international comparisons and to provide information from which to set minimum standards for sampling.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation:
(a) 'Initial coverage of goods and services of the HICP` is defined as those four-digit categories and sub-categories specified in the classification COICOP/HICP (classification of individual consumption by purpose adapted of the needs of HICPs) given in Annex I.
(b) 'Newly significant goods and services` are defined as those goods and services the price changes of which are not explicitly included in a Member State's HICP and the estimated consumers' expenditure on which has become at least one part per thousand of the expenditure covered by that HICP.
(c) 'Quality change` occurs whenever the Member State judges that a change in specification has resulted in a significant difference in utility to the consumer between a new variety or model of a good or service and a good or service previously selected for pricing in the HICP for which it is substituted. A quality change does not arise when there is a comprehensive revision of the HICP sample.
(d) 'Quality adjustment` is the procedure of making an allowance for a quality change by increasing or decreasing the observed current or reference prices by a factor or an amount equivalent to the value of that quality change.
(e) 'Target sample` is defined as the set of prices of goods and services which the Member State plans to obtain for the production of the HICP from January 1997 or plans at some subsequent date in order to meet the Member States' own or any European standard for reliability or comparability.
(f) 'Observed price` is a price actually confirmed by the Member States.
(g) 'Estimated price` is a price which is substituted for an observed price and is based on an appropriate estimation procedure. Previously observed prices shall not be regarded as estimated prices unless they can be shown to be appropriate estimates.
(h) 'Replacement price` is an observed price for a good or service which is taken as a direct substitute for a good or service the price of which was in the target sample.
(i) 'Elementary aggregate index` is a price index for an elementary aggregate comprising only price data.
(j) 'Elementary aggregate` refers to the expenditure or consumption covered by the most detailed level of stratification of the HICP and within which reliable expenditure information is not available for weighting purposes.
(k) 'Sampling` relates to any procedure in the construction of the HICP where a subset of the population of the prices faced by consumers is used to estimate the price change for some category of the goods and services covered by the HICP.
(l) 'Reliability` shall be assessed according to 'precision` which refers to the scale of sampling errors and 'representativity` which refers to the lack of bias.
II. MEASURES FOR ENSURING COMPARABILITY, RELIABILITY AND RELEVANCE OF THE HICP
Initial coverage
HICPs which include price indices and weights for each category given in Annex I accounting for more than one part in a thousand of the total expenditure covered by all these categories, shall be deemed comparable.
Newly significant goods and services
Member States shall:
(a) systematically seek to identify newly significant goods and services and
(b) check the significance of goods and services reported to be newly significant in other Member States.
The HICP shall be compiled to include the price changes of a newly significant good or service, where the good or service has been estimated as falling within the definition in Article 2 (b). This shall be accomplished within 12 months of their identification either by adjusting the weights of or within the relevant category of COICOP/HICP classification given in Annex I to this Regulation or by assigning part of the weight specifically to the newly significant good or service.
Minimum standards for procedures of quality adjustment
1. HICPs for which appropriate quality adjustments are made shall be deemed to be comparable. Where quality changes occur, Member States shall construct price indices by making appropriate quality adjustments based on explicit estimates of the value of the quality change. In the absence of national estimates, Member States shall use estimates based on information provided by the Commission (Eurostat) where these are available and relevant.
2. Where no estimates are available, price changes shall be estimated as the difference between the price of the selected substitute and that of the item it has replaced. In no case should a quality change be estimated as the whole of the difference in price between the two items, unless this can be justified as an appropriate estimate. Where replacements have to be made after goods or services have been offered at reduced prices, those replacements should be selected according to their similarity of utility to the consumer and not according to similarity of price.
Minimum standards for prices
1. Member States shall produce HICPs using the observed prices of the target sample.
(a) Where the target sample requires monthly observation, but observation fails due to non-availability of an item or for any other reason, estimated prices may be used for the first or second month but replacement prices shall be used from the third month.
(b) Where, exceptionally, the target sample requires observations less frequently than monthly, estimated prices shall be used for those months where observed prices are not required. Estimated prices may also be used on the first occasion on which price observation fails. Where observation fails for a second consecutive occasion, replacement prices shall be used.
2. Where, in the circumstances referred to in this Article, replacement prices are not available, estimated prices may continue to be used, provided that the extent of their use is limited to a level appropriate for achieving comparability.
Price indices for elementary aggregates
HICPs shall be compiled using either of the two formulae given in paragraph 1 of Annex II to this Regulation or an alternative comparable formula which does not result in an index which differs systematically from an index compiled by either of the given formulae by more than one tenth of one percentage point on average over one year against the previous year.
Minimum standards for sampling
HICPs constructed from target samples which, for each category of COICOP/HICP and taking into account the weight of the category, have sufficient elementary aggregates to represent the diversity of items within the category and sufficient prices within each elementary aggregate to take account of the variation of price movements in the population shall be deemed reliable and comparable.
Quality control
Member States shall:
(a) provide the Commission (Eurostat) at its request with information on the expenditure of any exclusions from coverage, expressed as a proportion of the total expenditure covered by the HICP, sufficient to evaluate compliance with this Regulation;
(b) report to the Commission (Eurostat) newly significant goods and services when they are identified and, if required, the grounds for the non-inclusion of any newly significant good or service sufficient to evaluate compliance with this Regulation;
(b) monitor the incidence of quality changes and the adjustments made sufficient to demonstrate compliance with this Regulation and shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) at its request with such information;
(d) establish and maintain a clear statement of the target sample and shall maintain checks of price observations and price estimates sufficient to ensure compliance with this Regulation. They shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) at its request with such information to evaluate and ensure compliance;
(e) where a formula different from the formulae given in paragraph 1 of Annex II to this Regulation is used, provide the Commission (Eurostat) at its request with information on the effects of using that alternative formula for selected periods and selected elementary aggregates sufficient to evaluate compliance with this Regulation;
(f) provide the Commission (Eurostat) at its request with details of the target samples sufficient to evaluate compliance with this Regulation and summary statistics of the representativity and precision of samples sufficient for the Commission (Eurostat) to make proposals for minimum standards for sampling for inclusion in the Review of HICPs required under Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 due in October 1997.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas (1987 to 1991) submitted by Italy pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(88/4/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas on 29 April 1987 the Italian Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas on 16 October 1987 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the aims of the programme are the substantial development of aquaculture in Italy and the provision of protected marine areas; whereas the production of trout should be maintained at the 1987 level; whereas investments of approximately 150 million ECU are estimated to be necessary for the completion of the programme;
Whereas, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme meets the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, the expected rate of expansion of Italian aquaculture could come up against certain technical difficulties and take place more slowly than anticipated; whereas it will therefore be necessary to ensure the technical practicability and economic profitability of the fish farms;
Whereas the full achievement of the programme's objectives could suffer from difficulties in the regular supply of fry;
Whereas there are difficulties of rules and regulations affecting the provision of protected marine areas;
Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing in a commercial environment, a feature of which is the development of international competition;
Whereas the development of the market for Salmonidae could entail the need to adjust the objectives laid down for the production of trout;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the Italian Government on 29 April 1987 and as last supplemented on 16 October 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision.
1. When the programme is implemented, special attention must be given to controlling production costs.
2. When the programme is implemented, priority must be given to the production of juveniles in line with the planned fish-farming investments.
3. The programme's objectives relating to the production of trout will have to be reviewed where major changes take place on the market for Salmonidae.
4. Provisions must be implemented to enable the protected marine areas to be provided under satisfactory conditions.
This Decision is without prejudice to any Community financial aid to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 290 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 190 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 28(1) and 41(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Irish Government has requested that the Irish language be accorded the same status as that accorded to the national official languages of the other Member States and that the necessary amendments be made to that effect to Council Regulation No 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community (1) and to Council Regulation No 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Atomic Energy Community (2), which two Regulations are hereinafter referred to as ‘Regulation No 1’.
(2) It results from Articles 53 of the Treaty on European Union and 314 of the Treaty establishing the European Community that the Irish language is one of the authentic languages of each of these Treaties respectively.
(3) The Irish Government stresses that, in accordance with Article 8 of the Constitution of Ireland, the Irish language as the national language is the first official language of Ireland.
(4) It is appropriate to answer positively to the Irish Government’s request and to amend Regulation No 1 accordingly. It is however appropriate to decide that, for practical reasons and on a transitional basis, the institutions of the European Union are not to be bound by the obligation to draft and translate all acts, including judgments of the Court of Justice, in the Irish language. It is also appropriate to provide that such a derogation be partial, to exclude from its scope Regulations adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council and to empower the Council to determine unanimously, within a period of four years after the date of application of this Regulation and at five-yearly intervals thereafter, whether to put an end to that derogation,
Regulation No 1 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:
2. Article 4 shall be replaced by the following:
3. Article 5 shall be replaced by the following:
By way of derogation from Regulation No 1 and for a renewable period of five years beginning on the day on which this Regulation applies, the institutions of the European Union shall not be bound by the obligation to draft all acts in Irish and to publish them in that language in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Article shall not apply to Regulations adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council.
Not later than four years after the date of application of this Regulation and at five-yearly intervals thereafter, the Council shall review the operation of Article 2 and determine unanimously whether to put an end to the derogation referred to in that Article.
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 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) According to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 (2) and to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 (3), certain destinations are excluded from the granting of an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 786/2006 of 24 May 2006 fixing the export refunds for milk and milk products (4) has included Bulgaria and Romania, as from 25 May 2006, under the destination zones L 20 and L 21, listing the destinations not eligible for export refunds. It is therefore necessary to exclude Bulgaria and Romania from the export refunds fixed under Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 and Romania from the export refunds fixed under Regulation (EC) No 582/2004.
(3) Regulations (EC) No 581/2004 and (EC) No 582/2004 should be amended accordingly.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1667/2006
of 7 November 2006
on glucose and lactose
(Codified version)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2730/75 of 29 October 1975 on glucose and lactose (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) In order to avoid technical difficulties as regards customs treatment, Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (5) groups glucose, glucose syrup, lactose and lactose syrup within one heading and chemically pure glucose and lactose within another.
(3) However, glucose falling within subheadings 1702 30 91, 1702 30 99 and 1702 40 90 of the combined nomenclature and lactose falling within subheading 1702 19 00 of the combined nomenclature are listed in Annex I to the Treaty and are therefore subject to the system of trade with third countries provided for under the common organisation of the markets to which they belong, while chemically pure glucose and lactose not listed in Annex I of the Treaty are subject to the system of customs duties, the economic incidence of which can be appreciably different.
(4) This situation creates difficulties which are all the greater in that the products in question, whatever their degree of purity, are derived from the same basic products. The criterion for customs classification between those products which are and those which are not chemically pure is a 99 % degree of purity. In addition, products with a slightly higher or slightly lower degree of purity may have the same economic use. Therefore, the application of different systems leads to distortions of competition which are all the greater because of interchangeability.
(5) The only solution to these difficulties is to submit the products to the same economic treatment whatever their degree of purity or, to the extent that this would appear adequate, to harmonise the treatment given to the two groups of products.
(6) The Treaty does not specifically provide the authority needed to take such action. In these circumstances the necessary measures should be taken on the basis of Article 308 of the Treaty. In addition, the most appropriate measures are to extend to chemically pure glucose the treatment given to other glucose under Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (6), and to extend to chemically pure lactose the treatment given to other lactose under Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (7),
The treatment provided by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and by the provisions adopted for the application of this Regulation for glucose and glucose syrup falling within subheadings 1702 30 91, 1702 30 99 and 1702 40 90 of the combined nomenclature shall be extended to glucose and to glucose syrup falling within subheadings 1702 30 51 and 1702 30 59 of the combined nomenclature.
The treatment provided by Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 and by the provisions adopted for the application of this Regulation for lactose and lactose syrup falling within subheading 1702 19 00 of the combined nomenclature shall be extended to lactose and to lactose syrup falling within subheading 1702 11 00 of the combined nomenclature.
When the treatment given to glucose and glucose syrup or to lactose and lactose syrup falling respectively within subheadings 1702 30 91, 1702 30 99, 1702 40 90 and 1702 19 00 of the combined nomenclature is amended pursuant to Article 37 of the Treaty or in accordance with procedures established for the application of that Article, such amendments shall extend as appropriate to glucose and to glucose syrup or to lactose or to lactose syrup falling respectively within subheadings 1702 30 51, 1702 30 59 and 1702 11 00 of the combined nomenclature, unless, in accordance with the same procedures, other measures are taken for the harmonising of the treatment applicable to these products with the treatment applicable to those already mentioned.
Regulation (EEC) No 2730/75 is hereby repealed.
References made to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as being made to this Regulation and should be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

COMMISSION DECISION of 28 January 1992 establishing transitional measures for trade in bovine animals in relation to the cessation of vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease and revoking Decisions 91/13/EEC and 91/177/EEC (92/105/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/423/EEC of 26 June 1990 amending Directive 85/511/EEC introducing Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease, Directive 64/432/EEC on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine and Directive 72/462/EEC on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decisions 91/13/EEC (2) and 91/177/EEC (3) have already provided for trade in bovine animals previously vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease;
Whereas the provisions of Decisions 91/13/EEC and 91/177/EEC are no longer required; whereas these Decisions may therefore be repealed;
Whereas, however, the objective, as defined in Article 4 of Directive 90/423/EEC, is to cease trade in vaccinated animals; whereas however, it is useful to maintain the measures for intra-Community trade and imports from third countries until the end of 1992, to allow a smooth transition from trade in vaccinated animals towards trade in non-vaccinated animals only;
Whereas these transitional rules, however, should be applied to imports of live animals from certain third countries or parts of third countries on the list established in Council Decision 79/542/EEC (4), as last amended by Commission Decision 90/485/EEC (5), and which have themselves ceased vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease;
Whereas the provisions of this Decision should be reviewed by the Commission before its expiry;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Member States which practised vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease on 31 December 1990 may accept bovine animals vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease before the date on which they ceased their vaccination policy, provided that the animals are accompanied by a guarantee confirming that they have not been vaccinated after that date. Those Member States which ceased vaccination before 4 April 1991 may accept bovine animals vaccination before 4 April 1991.
2. When applying the provisions of paragraph 1 to live bovine animals coming from third countries appearing in the list in Decision 79/542/EEC, Member States may authorize such imports only from countries which have confirmed in writing to the Commission that:
- they have officially ceased vaccination on their own territory,
- they do not allow onto their territory animals vaccinated after the date on which they themselves ceased vaccination.
3. The Commission shall inform Member States of those countries which have given the guarantees referred to in paragraph 2 as soon as possible, and shall update the information as and when necessary.
4. Where vaccination is practised on part of the territory of a third country appearing on the list in Council Decision 79/542/EEC, the importation of live bovine animals described in paragraph 1 may be permitted under certain conditions, if they come from parts of the third country for which the information required in paragraph 2 has been received, and following a decision made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Council Directive 72/462/EEC (6).
1. The following shall be added on the health certificate, as provided for in Annex F, model I or II, to Council Directive 64/432/EEC (7), accompanying bovine animals intended for Member States as described in Article 1:
'bovine animals which have not been vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease after . . .'
2. Member States which import live bovine animals from countries referred to in Article 1 (2) shall require certification in respect of these animals to the effect that:
either - they have not been vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease,
or - they have been vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease, using an officially approved vaccine, not later than . . .
3. The date provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be the date on which the Member State of destination has officially ceased vaccination, but not earlier than 4 April 1991.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States, in the framework of the Standing Veterinary Committee, about the acceptance of live bovine animals in accordance with Article 1.
2. The status of a Member State in respect of Article 4 (1) a of Directive 64/432/EEC shall not be prejudiced where a Member State avails itself of the provisions of Article 1 of this Decision.
The provisions of this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1992.
Decisions 91/13/EEC and 91/177/EEC are hereby repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION No 189/2014/EU
of 20 February 2014
authorising France to apply a reduced rate of certain indirect taxes on ‘traditional’ rum produced in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion and repealing Decision 2007/659/EC
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2007/659/EC (2) authorised France to apply to ‘traditional’ rum produced in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion (‘the four outermost regions concerned’), and sold on the French mainland a reduced rate of excise duty which may be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty set by Council Directive 92/84/EEC (3) but not more than 50 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol. As of 1 January 2011, the reduced rate of excise duty is limited to an annual quota of 120 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol (hlpa). That derogation expired on 31 December 2013.
(2) On 12 March 2013, the French authorities asked the Commission to submit a proposal for a Council decision extending the derogation set out in Decision 2007/659/EC, under the same conditions, for seven years, until 31 December 2020. That request was supplemented by the submission of additional information and amended concerning the different French taxes to be covered by the proposed decision, on 3 July and 2 August 2013 respectively.
(3) The French authorities also informed the Commission that France amended as of 1 January 2012 the national legislation on the ‘cotisation sur les boissons alcooliques’, also known as ‘vignette sécurité sociale’ (VSS), which is a contribution levied for the National Sickness Insurance Fund on alcoholic beverages sold in France to counter the health risks involved in immoderate use of this product and that is levied in addition to the national excise duty. In particular, the tax base was changed from EUR 160 per hectolitre to EUR 533 per hlpa, and a limitation of the amount of the VSS was introduced which was linked to the applicable excise duty.
(4) In the context of the request by the French authorities for an extension of the derogation set out in Decision 2007/659/EC until 31 December 2020, the French authorities asked the Commission to include as of 1 January 2012 the VSS in the list of taxes for which a lower rate can be applied for ‘traditional’ rum produced in the four outermost regions concerned.
(5) It is more appropriate to adopt a new Decision on a derogation covering both taxes: the differentiation of the excise duty as set out in Directive 92/84/EEC and the VSS, instead of extending the derogation set out in Decision 2007/659/EC.
(6) Given the small scale of the local market, the distilleries in the four outermost regions concerned can develop their activities only if they have sufficient access to the market in the French mainland, which is the main outlet for their rum (71 %). The difficulty for ‘traditional’ rum to compete on the Union market, in addition to the specific structural social and economic situation of these outermost regions, which is compounded by the special constraints referred to in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), is attributable to two parameters: higher production costs and higher taxes per bottle as the ‘traditional’ rum is typically marketed at higher levels of alcohol strength and in bigger bottles.
(7) Production costs of the cane-sugar-rum value chain in the four outermost regions concerned are higher than in other regions of the world. Wage costs in particular are higher, as the French social legislation is applicable in the four outermost regions concerned. Those outermost regions are also subject to Union environment and safety standards, which entail considerable investments and costs which are not directly related to productivity, even if part of those investments is covered by the Union structural funds. Furthermore, distilleries in the four outermost regions concerned are smaller than distilleries of international groups. This generates higher production costs per unit of output. According to the French authorities, all of those direct additional production costs, including freight and insurance, globally correspond to about 12 % of the French excise duty applicable normally to strong alcohols in 2012.
(8) ‘Traditional’ rum sold in French mainland is typically marketed in bigger bottles (60 % of rum is sold in bottles containing 1 litre) and at higher levels of alcohol (ranging from 40° to 59°) than competing rums, which are typically marketed in bottles of 0,7 litres at 37,5°. The higher levels of alcohol content trigger in turn higher excise duties, a higher VSS and, in addition, a higher value added tax (VAT) per litre of rum sold. Thus, the cumulative additional costs, namely higher production costs, higher freight cost and higher taxes (excise duty and VAT), correspond to between 40 % and 50 % of the French excise duty applicable normally on strong alcohols in 2012. Moreover, the change in the basis for calculating the VSS from EUR 160 per hectolitre to EUR 533 per hlpa as of 1 January 2012 would have had, including VAT, an additional adverse impact on the price of ‘traditional’ rum, which is marketed at higher levels of alcohol corresponding to about 10 % of the standard excise rate. In order to offset this additional adverse effect, closely linked to the specific structural social and economic situation of the four outermost regions concerned, which is compounded by the special constraints referred to in Article 349 TFEU, a reduction of the VSS rate should be also introduced so that it benefits the ‘traditional’ rum of the four outermost regions concerned.
(9) The fiscal advantage covering both the harmonised excise duties and the VSS to be authorised needs to remain proportionate so as not to undermine the integrity and the coherence of the Union legal order, including safeguarding undistorted competition in the internal market and state aid policies.
(10) The extra costs stemming from the decade-long marketing practice of selling ‘traditional’ rum at higher levels of alcohol and, thus, triggering higher taxes should therefore also be taken into account.
(11) In 2012, France applied an excise duty of EUR 903 per hlpa to ‘traditional’ rum, which corresponds to 54,4 % of the standard excise rate. It also applied a VSS of EUR 361,20 per hlpa, which corresponds to 67,8 % of the standard rate of VSS. Both reductions taken together correspond to a tax advantage of EUR 928,80 per hlpa, or a tax advantage compared to the aggregated standard rates (excise duty and VSS) of 42,8 %.
(12) Decision 2007/659/EC authorised France to reduce the national excise duty applicable on ‘traditional’ rum by up to 50 % of the standard national excise duty on alcohol. That Decision did not include the reduced rate of the VSS for ‘traditional’ rum which was only introduced as a compensatory measure for the additional burden created for that rum by the reform of the VSS system as of 1 January 2012.
(13) It is necessary to remedy that situation by applying the same principles that had been applied to a derogation from Article 110 TFEU for harmonised excise duties also to the VSS. At the same time, the tax advantage that can be granted should be capped from 1 January 2014 at a maximum percentage of the standard rates per hlpa of the harmonised excise duty on strong alcohol and of the VSS.
(14) A new derogation should be granted for seven years, from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020.
(15) France should submit a mid-term report to enable the Commission to assess whether the reasons justifying the derogation still exist, whether the fiscal advantage granted by France is still proportionate and whether alternative measures to a tax derogation system which are also sufficient to support a competitive cane-sugar-rum value chain can be envisaged, taking into account their international dimension.
(16) Decision 2007/659/EC could not initially take into account the new circumstances after the reform of the VSS system. Exceptionally, and taking into account the mentioned specific structural social and economic situation of the four outermost regions concerned, it is, therefore, justified to apply the subject reduced VSS rate regime as of 1 January 2012.
(17) This Decision is without prejudice to the possible application of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU.
(18) Therefore, Decision 2007/659/EC should be repealed,
By way of derogation from Article 110 TFEU, France is authorised to extend the application on the French mainland, to ‘traditional’ rum produced in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion, of a rate of excise duty lower than the full rate for alcohol set by Article 3 of Directive 92/84/EEC and to apply a rate of the levy called ‘cotisation sur les boissons alcooliques’ (VSS) lower than the full rate applicable according to the French national legislation.
The derogation set out in Article 1 shall be limited to rum as defined in point 1(f) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) produced in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion from sugar cane harvested at the place of manufacture, having a content of volatile substances other than ethyl and methyl alcohol equal to or exceeding 225 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol and an alcoholic strength by volume of 40° or more.
1. The reduced rates of excise duty and of VSS referred to in Article 1 and applicable to the rum referred to in Article 2 shall be confined to an annual quota of 120 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol.
2. The reduced rates of excise duty and of VSS referred to in Article 1 of this Decision may each be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol set by Directive 92/84/EEC, but shall not be more than 50 % lower than the full rate for alcohol set in accordance with Article 3 of Directive 92/84/EEC or the full rate for alcohol for the VSS.
3. The cumulative fiscal advantage authorised in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article shall not be more than 50 % of the full rate for alcohol set in accordance with Article 3 of Directive 92/84/EEC.
By 31 July 2017, France shall submit a report to the Commission to enable it to assess whether the reasons justifying the derogation still exist and whether the fiscal advantage granted by France has remained and is expected to remain proportionate and sufficient to support a competitive cane-sugar-rum value chain in Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Réunion.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2020, except for Article 1 and Article 3(1) and (2) which shall apply from 1 January 2012.
1. Decision 2007/659/EC is hereby repealed.
2. References to that repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Commission Decision
of 6 February 2004
concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several Asian countries
(notified under document number C(2004) 389)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/122/EC)
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), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC(2), and in particular Article 18(1) and (6) 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(3), and in particular Article 22(1), (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) Avian influenza has been confirmed in several Asian countries including Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
(3) As of 3 February 2004 12 human cases of infection with the avian influenza virus strain have been reported in Vietnam and Thailand, some of which were fatal.
(4) The importation of live poultry and live ratites including their hatching eggs, which could pose a risk for disease introduction into the Community, is not authorised from any of these countries.
(5) Commission Decision 94/984/EC(4) lays down the health conditions and veterinary certificates for imports of fresh poultrymeat; Thailand and parts of the territory of the People's Republic of China are included in this Decision.
(6) Commission Decision 2000/609/EC(5) lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certificates for imports of fresh meat of farmed ratites; Thailand is included in this Decision.
(7) Commission Decision 2000/572/EC(6) lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of minced meat and meat preparations from third countries; Thailand and parts of the territory of the People's Republic of China are authorised under this Decision for imports into the Community of such products.
(8) Commission Decision 2000/585/EC(7) lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of wild and farmed game meat and rabbit meat from third countries and Thailand is included in this Decision.
(9) Imports obtained from birds slaughtered after 1 January 2004 from Thailand to the Community of the following products: (a) fresh meat of poultry, ratites, wild and farmed feathered game; (b) meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing, meat of those species; (c) raw material for pet food production and of eggs for human consumption, have been suspended by Commission Decision 2004/84/EC(8), and imports of these products are not authorised from any of the other countries mentioned above.
(10) In accordance with Chapter 14(1)(B) of Annex I to Council Directive 92/118/EEC (only applicable until 30 April 2004) and with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, the importation of unprocessed poultry manure can only be authorised from those third countries authorised to import into the Community fresh poultrymeat and therefore such imports will no longer be able to be authorised by these provisions.
(11) Commission Decision 97/222/EC(9), lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products, and establishes treatment regimes in order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products. The treatment that must be applied to the product depends on the health status of the country of origin, in relation to the species the meat is obtained from; in order to avoid an unnecessary burden on trade, imports of poultrymeat products originating in Thailand treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(12) In relation to animal health requirements, the importation of fresh poultrymeat from certain parts of the territory in the People's Republic of China into the Community was authorised, but then it has been suspended by Commission Decision 2002/69/EC(10) since early 2002 in relation to certain public health requirements. In view of the present avian influenza situation it is appropriate for reasons of clarity and legal certainty to suspend the importation of fresh poultrymeat, of meat preparations consisting of or containing any parts of poultry, and of raw pet food and feed material containing any parts of poultry also from an animal health point of view.
(13) In relation to animal health requirements, the importation of eggs for human consumption is in principle authorised from Thailand, the People's Republic of China and South Korea, but none of these countries has provided all the necessary public health guarantees that are required to allow such imports. However, for reasons of clarity and legal certainty it is therefore appropriate to prohibit such imports also on animal health grounds.
(14) In accordance with Directive 92/118/EEC(11) (only applicable until 30 April 2004), and with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council(12), the importation of non-treated game trophies from birds originating from Thailand, the People's Republic of China and South Korea is currently authorised. In view of the current avian influenza situation these imports should be suspended, thus preventing any risk of disease introduction into the Community.
(15) In accordance with Directive 92/118/EEC (only applicable until 30 April 2004) and with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, the importation of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers originating from the Asian countries affected by avian influenza listed in recital 2 is currently authorised. In view of the current avian influenza situation these imports should be suspended, thus preventing any risk of disease introduction into the Community. However the importation of feathers may be authorised with an accompanying commercial document that states that the feathers have undergone a certain treatment.
(16) In accordance with Commission Decision 2000/666/EC(13), importation of birds other than poultry was authorised from all member countries of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health), subject to animal health guarantees provided by the country of origin and to strict post-import quarantine measures in the Member States, thus preventing the possible introduction of poultry diseases into Community poultry flocks.
(17) However, given the exceptional disease situation in several Asian countries and the potential serious consequences related to the specific avian influenza virus strains involved, as an additional precautionary measure the importation of birds other than poultry, and also of pet birds accompanying their owners into the Community from Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, People's Republic of China including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam has been suspended by Commission Decision 2004/93/EC(14) in order to exclude any possible risk for disease occurrence in quarantine stations under the authority of the Member States.
(18) In order to consolidate the measures adopted in relation to avian influenza in Asia and to make the necessary technical and legal adaptations, Decisions 2004/84/EC and 2004/93/EC should be repealed and a new Decision adopted.
(19) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall suspend the importation from the territory of Thailand of:
- fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game,
- meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of those species,

Decisions 2004/84/EC and 2004/93/EC are repealed.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall apply until 15 August 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3815/89 (2) lays down detailed rules for the application of the compensation mechanism to imports of fruit and vegetables from Spain;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 152 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', from 1 January 1990, of fruit and vegetables from Spain for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries; whereas, Community offer prices for cherries coming from Spain should be fixed only during the period where reference prices are fixed with regard to third countries, this means from 21 May up to and including 10 August;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 152 (2) (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 Regulation (EEC) No 3709/89, 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 the application of the abovementioned criteria results in Community offer prices being fixed for cherries for the period 21 May to 10 August 1990 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 Fruigt and Vegetables,
For the 1990 marketing year, the Community offer prices for cherries (CN code 0809 20) applicable with regard to Spain, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- May (21 to 31): 140,95
- June: 125,92
- July: 115,69
- August (1 to 10): 88,73

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1577/98 of 22 July 1998 laying down transitional measures for the management of base areas in the new German Länder and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1763/96
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support scheme for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2309/97 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas Article 2(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for the reduction of the area eligible for compensatory payments and for a special set-aside without compensation where the sum of the areas for which aid is claimed by producers is in excess of the regional base area;
Whereas the change from the planned economy existing in the new Länder before unification to a market economy was carried out practically without a transitional period; whereas, therefore, implementation of the reform has come at a time when agricultural production structures in the new Länder are in the process of change; whereas the loss of traditional markets in the countries of eastern Europe has led to a significant fall in livestock production and in the areas previously used for fodder production unforeseen when Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 was adopted;
Whereas, given this situation, a solution has been found which, without giving rise to a permanent increase in the base area, which is a key element in the reform of arable farming, ensures that the strict application of the present legislation does not jeopardise the restructuring of the agricultural sector in the new Länder; whereas this solution takes the form of a transitional measure introducing a temporary extension of the base area - to be reduced in four steps - from the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas these transitional measures are provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1763/96 (3);
Whereas the factors which led to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1763/96 still pertain; whereas under these circumstances an extension of the transitional period is justified;
Whereas, for the sake of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 1763/96 should be replaced with effect from the 1998/99 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for cereals, oils and fats and dried fodder,
For the purposes of Article 2(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the base area laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1098/94 (4) shall be temporarily increased for the new German Länder as indicated in the Annex.
1. For the 2000/01, 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04 marketing years, where the base area laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1098/94 is exceeded within the limits indicated in the Annex to this Regulation, the area eligible for compensatory payments shall be reduced per producer, for the duration of the marketing year and in proportion to the over-run, by 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 % respectively.
2. The reduction referred to in paragraph 1 shall be additional to any reduction made as a result of the base area provided for in Article 1 being exceeded.
Regulation (EEC) No 1763/96 is hereby repealed with effect from 1 July 1998.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1998/99 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3379/89
of 6 November 1989
increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1989 for newsprint
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, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1989 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4101/88 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 4101/88 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from 600 000 tonnes to 630 000 tonnes.
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 Council Regulation (EC) No 3084/95 of 21 December 1995 allocating, for 1996, catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Latvian waters (3), provides for salmon 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 salmon in the waters of ICES division III d (Latvian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Finland or registered in Finland have reached the quota allocated for 1996; whereas Finland has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 1 November 1996; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of salmon in the waters of ICES division III d (Latvian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Finland or registered in Finland are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Finland for 1996.
Fishing for salmon in the waters of ICES division III d (Latvian waters) by vessels flying the flag of Finland or registered in Finland is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 000/00
of 1 February 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 fixing a countervailing charge on imports into the other Member States of ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin produced in France
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing he European Economic Community, and in particular Article 46 thereof,
Whereas the amount of the countervailing charge introduced by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 of 4 September 1984 (1) is determined by the difference recorded between, on the one hand, the lowest free-at-frontier price at which representative quantities of non-denatured alcohol from France are sold on the markets of the other Member States and, on the other, an equilibrium price which may be considered the normal price for non-denatured alcohol on the markets of the Community when competition is no distorted; whereas an appropriate abatement is appied to the said difference in order to prevent any possibility of the level of the countervailing charge being set too high as a result of calculating it on the basis of flat-rate figures;
Whereas the free-at-frontier prices of non-denatured French alcohol sold in the Community have not changed to any appreciable degree whils the aformentioned equilibrium price, which now stands at 52 ECU per hectolitre, has changed significantly; whereas the amount of the countervailing charge should therefore be raised accordingly;
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 of 4 September 1984 specifies that the countervailing charge is to apply to all ethyl alcohol produced in France and exported to other Member States which is not accompanied by a certificate showing either that it is of non-agricultural origin or that it has been denatured in accordance with the relevant provisions in France;
Whereas the implementation in practice of the said provision has revealed a number of problems of a technical nature relating to the customs classification of the products concerned under the headings of the Common Customs Tariff referred to in Article 1 (1) of the said Regulation and to the form of the said certificate; whereas, to remedy this situation, the wording of the said provisions should be amended;
Whereas Article 10 of Council Directive 79/623/EEC of 25 June 1979 on he harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to customs debt (2) provides for cases of customs debt arising when goods traded between Member States are liable to customs or agricultural charges; whereas reference to this provision would clarify the implementtion of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84;
Whereas the terms on which goods may be exempted from the countervailing charge should be described in more detail;
Whereas there is a need to deal with certain problems to which the implementation of the said Regulation could give rise as regards administrative cooperation between Member States; whereas, with a view to defining the terms on which the products concerned may be introduced into free zones, placed in bonded warehouses or brought uncer inward processing rules, provision should be made for analogous application of the procedures laid down in Council Directives 69/73/EEC (3), 69/74/EEC (4) and 69/75/EEC (5) of 4 March 1969;
Whereas , at the same time, the procedure to be followed when alcohol is shipped to another Member State after the countervailing charge has been collected in one of the Member States should be described in more detail,
Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 are hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 1
1. A countervailing charge shall be levied in intra-Community trade on alcohol produced in France falling within:
- heading No 22.08 of the Common Customs Tariff and put up in containers holding more than two litres,
- subheading 22.09 A II of the Common Customs Tariff,
unless:
(a) the alcohol is of non-agricultural origin within the meaning of the Treaty; or
(b) the alcohol has been denatured in accordance with the relevant provisions in France.
The rate of the countervailing charge is hereby fixed at 0,08 ECU per % vol per hectolitre.
2. Evidence that either (a) or (b) in paragraph 1 apply shall be provided solely by entering one of the following endorsements in the "description of goods" box on the document showing the Community nature of the goods, authenticated with the stamp of the French customs office which has approved or registered the said document:
"PRODUCT OF NON-AGRICULTURAL ORIGIN WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE EEC TREATY"
or
"PRODUCT DENATURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FRENCH LAW"
3. Where the document referred to in paragraph 2 is replaced by a new document showing the Community nature of the goods, the latter shall be endorsed in the "description of goods" box with the statement contained in the document which it replaces; this statement shall be authenticated with the stamp of the customs office which has approved or registered the new document.
4. In intra-Community trade, the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be deemed to have been obtained in France unless it is established to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the Member State levying the countervailing charge that they have been obtained elsewhere.
1. The Member States other than France shall levy the countervailing charge:
- at the discretion of the competent authorities, either when the ethyl alcohol referred to in Article 1 is released for home use or is placed under suspensory fiscal arrangements,
- in the other cases in which the product concerned gives rise to a customs debt within the meaning of Article 10 of Directive 79/623/EEC.
2. However, paragraph 1 shall not apply if, within the limits and conditions laid down in the national measures taken to implement Directives 69/73/EEC, 69/74/EEC and 69/75/EEC, the interested parties:
- place the ethyl alcohol under an inward processing or customs warehouse procedure,
- place the ethyl alcohol in a free zone.
In cases of inward processing, the compensating products must be exported to destinations outside the customs territory of the Community.
Where the alcohol is placed in a customs warehouse, the usual operations referred to in point 12 of Article 1 (1) of Directive 71/235/EEC are excluded.
3. Where the countervailing charge has been levied in accordance with paragraph 1 and the product concerned is to be sent to another Member State, the document issued in the Member State of dispatch establishing the Community nature of the goods shall be endorsed in the "description of goods" box with one of the statements referred to in Article 3 (2), duly authenticated with the stamp of the competent customs office'.
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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 283 thereof,
Having regard to the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68(1), and in particular Article 52 of the said Conditions of Employment,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, presented following consultations with the Staff Regulations Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors(4),
Whereas:
(1) In all the institutions auxiliary staff are an indispensable tool providing rapid access to human resources, particularly to replace staff and temporary servants temporarily unable to carry out their duties (Article 3(b) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities). Auxiliary staff may also perform specific short-term tasks in accordance with the high standards laid down in the Staff Regulations. Auxiliary staff complement permanent officials in highly specialised areas where the expertise needed is not otherwise available.
(2) The possibility of extending the duration of an auxiliary contract constitutes a useful element of flexibility in the use of the institutions' human resources.
(3) The possibility of extending the duration of an auxiliary contract beyond one year is justified in order to allow the institutions to respond, when the interests of the service so require, to the need to ensure a certain continuity of service and/or benefit fully from the qualifications and training of the staff member concerned.
(4) Article 52 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities should therefore be amended in order to extend the maximum duration of contracts for auxiliary staff to three years,
Article 52(b) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities shall be replaced by the following: "(b) three years, in all other cases.".

Whereas:
(1) Article 8(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2001 of 5 February 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 651/2002, stipulates that the apportioning of 5000 tonnes of short flax fibre and hemp fibre as national guaranteed quantities, as provided for in Article 3(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000, must be effected before 16 November of the marketing year in progress. To that end, Italy has sent the Commission information relating to areas covered by sale/purchase contracts, processing commitments and processing contracts, and estimated flax and hemp straw and fibre yields. For their part, Denmark, Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg have indicated that no flax or hemp fibre will be produced in those Member States for the 2002/2003 marketing year. On the basis of estimates of production resulting from the information provided, total production in the five Member States concerned will not reach the overall quantity of 5000 tonnes allocated to them, and the national guaranteed quantities as set out below should be set.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,
For the 2002/2003 marketing year, the apportionment in national guaranteed quantities provided for in Article 3(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 shall be as follows:
- Denmark: 0 tonnes,
- Greece: 0 tonnes,
- Ireland: 0 tonnes,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 September 2006
amending Decisions 2005/723/EC and 2005/873/EC on the Community’s financial contribution for programmes for the eradication and monitoring of certain TSEs in the Member States for the year 2006
(notified under document number C(2006) 4150)
(2006/645/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 24(5) and (6) and Article 32 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (2), includes rules for the monitoring of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine and capine animals. That Regulation provides for an extension of the monitoring of sheep.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/723/EC of 14 October 2005 on programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases, of certain TSEs, and for the prevention of zoonoses, which qualify for a Community financial contribution in 2006 (3) sets out the list of such programmes, as well as the proposed rate and amount of the financial contribution by the Community for each programme.
(3) Commission Decision 2005/873/EC of 30 November 2005 approving programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases, of certain TSEs, and for the prevention of zoonoses presented by the Member States for the year 2006 (4) sets out the financial contribution by the Community for the programmes by the Member States for the monitoring of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
(4) On 8 March 2006, a panel of experts on TSEs in small ruminants, chaired by the Community reference laboratory for TSEs, confirmed that the presence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in those animals cannot be excluded following the results of the second stage of discriminatory testing of brain samples of two sheep from France and one sheep from Cyprus. Further testing is necessary to exclude the presence of BSE in such animals.
(5) In the light of the importance of an effective implementation of the increased monitoring to assess the prevalence of BSE in ovine animals, it is appropriate to increase the amount per test to be reimbursed to the Member States by the Community up to a maximum amount of EUR 30 per rapid test performed in ovine animals, in line with the cost per rapid test performed in caprine animals.
(6) Following the detection of its first case of BSE in Sweden, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 increased the testing levels in bovine animals in that Member State. It is therefore appropriate to increase the level of the Community's financial contribution for programmes for the monitoring of TSEs in Sweden, as provided for in Decisions 2005/723/EC and 2005/873/EC.
(7) Decisions 2005/723/EC and 2005/873/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex III to Decision 2005/723/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
In Chapter XI of Decision 2005/873/EC, Article 11(2) and (3) are replaced by the following:
‘2. The financial contribution by the Community shall be at the rate of 100 % of the eligible costs to be incurred by each Member State referred to in paragraph 1 for the implementation of those programmes and shall not exceed:
(a) EUR 3 375 000 for Belgium;
(b) EUR 1 640 000 for the Czech Republic;
(c) EUR 2 380 000 for Denmark;
(d) EUR 15 155 000 for Germany;
(e) EUR 285 000 for Estonia;
(f) EUR 1 625 000 for Greece;
(g) EUR 9 945 000 for Spain;
(h) EUR 25 760 000 for France;
(i) EUR 6 695 000 for Ireland;
(j) EUR 9 045 000 for Italy;
(k) EUR 565 000 for Cyprus;
(l) EUR 355 000 for Latvia;
(m) EUR 770 000 for Lithuania;
(n) EUR 140 000 for Luxembourg;
(o) EUR 1 415 000 for Hungary;
(p) EUR 35 000 for Malta;
(q) EUR 5 515 000 for the Netherlands;
(r) EUR 2 230 000 for Austria;
(s) EUR 3 800 000 for Poland;
(t) EUR 2 205 000 for Portugal;
(u) EUR 410 000 for Slovenia;
(v) EUR 845 000 for Slovakia;
(w) EUR 1 020 000 for Finland;
(x) EUR 1 440 000 for Sweden;
(y) EUR 7 700 000 for the United Kingdom.
3. The financial contribution by the Community of the programmes referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 shall be for the tests performed and the maximum amount shall not exceed:
(a) EUR 7 per test, for tests carried out in bovine animals referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;
(b) EUR 30 per test, for tests carried out in ovine and caprine animals referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;
(c) EUR 145 per test, for primary molecular discriminatory tests in ovine and caprine animals carried out as referred to in Annex X, Chapter C, point 3.2(c)(i) to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;’

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 759/2013
of 30 April 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 as regards the disclosure requirements for convertible and exchangeable debt securities
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading and amending Directive 2001/34/EC (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 of 29 April 2004 implementing Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards information contained in prospectuses as well as the format, incorporation by reference and publication of such prospectuses and dissemination of advertisements (2) sets out the minimum information to be included in a prospectus for different kinds of securities in order to comply with Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/71/EC.
(2) The share registration document schedule should be applicable to shares and other transferable securities equivalent to shares but also to other securities giving access to the capital of the issuer by way of conversion or exchange where the underlying shares are not already admitted to trading on a regulated market.
(3) Where the issuer of the underlying shares belongs to the same group as the issuer of the convertible or exchangeable debt securities but the underlying shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market, information on the issuer is not easily available to investors. Therefore, the share registration schedule should be applicable to those underlying shares and should be added to the combinations used for drawing up the prospectus.
(4) Where securities with warrants or derivative securities give the right to acquire the issuer’s or group’s shares and those shares are not admitted to trading on a regulated market, the relevant information set out in the securities note schedule for derivative securities should be provided to investors.
(5) Where debt securities are exchangeable or convertible into shares already admitted to trading on a regulated market, information on the underlying shares is already available to shareholders and investors in general. Therefore, it should be clarified that it is sufficient to add a statement setting out the type of the underlying and details of where information on the underlying can be obtained in the combinations used for drawing up the securities note of the prospectus.
(6) Where debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into shares which are or will be issued by the issuer of the security or by an entity belonging to its group and these underlying shares are not already admitted to trading on a regulated market, investors should also be provided with a working capital statement and a statement of capitalisation and indebtedness of the issuer of the underlying shares. Those statements would provide investors in the securities note with the same information on the ability of the issuer of the underlying shares to continue as a going concern and on its indebtedness compared to its capitalisation as would be available when investing in shares directly.
(7) Where the underlying shares are issued by a third party and are not admitted to trading on a regulated market the investors do not have easy access to a description of those underlying shares. Therefore, the additional building block describing the underlying share should be added to the combinations used for drawing up the securities note of the prospectus.
(8) For reasons of legal certainty it is necessary to clarify, in the table set out in Annex XVIII to Regulation (EC) No 809/2004, how schedules and building blocks should be combined when drawing up a prospectus, including where only certain information items of schedules and building blocks are required, where certain information items may not be applicable due to specific combinations of schedules and building blocks in particular cases, and where the issuer, offeror or person asking for admission to trading on a regulated market may choose between different schedules and building blocks according to specific thresholds, such as the minimum denomination of debt securities, or conditions set out in Regulation (EC) No 809/2004.
(9) The term ‘bonds’ should be replaced by the term ‘debt securities’ in order to ensure consistency of terminology within Regulation (EC) No 809/2004.
(10) The application of the pro forma financial information building block set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 is conditional upon a significant gross change in the size of the issuer, therefore the words ‘(if applicable)’ should be added to the heading of the column entitled ‘BUILDING BLOCK’ applicable to the registration document in Annex XVIII to that Regulation to reflect the conditional applicability of Annex II to that Regulation.
(11) Convertible or exchangeable debt securities can provide access to issuer’s new shares when the right to subscribe is exercised by their holders. Accordingly, rights issues of convertible or exchangeable debt securities into issuer’s new shares should also be able to benefit from the proportionate disclosure regime set out in Article 26a of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 provided that the underlying shares are new shares issued by the same entity issuing debt securities. The prospectus for the offer or admission to trading on a regulated market of debt securities convertible or exchangeable into issuer’s shares issued by small and medium sized enterprises and companies with reduced market capitalisation should also benefit from the proportionate disclosure regime set out in Article 26b of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004. Accordingly, the combination of schedules and building blocks applicable to rights issues of debt securities convertible or exchangeable into issuer’s shares or to convertible or exchangeable debt securities issued by small and medium sized enterprises and companies with reduced market capitalisation should be included in Annex XVIII.
(12) In consideration of the need to provide issuers with a transitional period to adapt to the new requirements introduced by this Regulation, this Regulation should only apply to prospectuses and base prospectuses which have been approved by a competent authority on the date of or after its entry into force.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 809/2004
Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 6, the following paragraph 3 is added:
(2) in Article 8, the following paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 are added:
(3) in Article 15, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(4) in Article 16 the following paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 are added:
(5) in Article 17(2), point 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. provided that these shares or other transferable securities equivalent to shares are or will be issued by the issuer of the security, by an entity belonging to the group of that issuer or by a third party and are not yet traded on a regulated market or an equivalent market outside the Union at the time of the approval of the prospectus covering the securities, and that the underlying shares or other transferable securities equivalent to shares can be delivered with physical settlement.’;
(6) the title of Annex XIV is replaced by the following:
(7) Annex XVIII is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Transitional provision
1. This Regulation shall not apply to the approval of a supplement to a prospectus or base prospectus where the prospectus or base prospectus was approved before the date referred to in Article 3.
2. Where in accordance with Article 18 of Directive 2003/71/EC the competent authority of the home Member State notifies the competent authority of the host Member State with a certificate of approval in relation to a prospectus or a base prospectus approved before the date referred to in Article 3, the competent authority of the home Member State shall clearly and explicitly indicate in the certificate that the prospectus or base prospectus was approved before the date referred to in Article 3.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In an exchange of letters between the Commission of the European Communities and the Office international des épizooties (OIE) (2), the two parties agreed to act in collaboration. With the support of the Community, the OIE subsequently adopted, in May 2005, principles and specific guidelines for the welfare of animals subject to international trade, and in particular in relation to sea, land and air transport, as Section 3.7 of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code. In order to give effect to Article 3.7.2.1 of the Guidelines for the Transport of Animals by Sea and Article 3.7.3.1 of the Guidelines for the Transport of Animals by Land, which define the responsibilities of the Competent Authorities, it is appropriate to strengthen the instruments for the monitoring and evaluation of the welfare performance by improving the reporting system of inspections performed by the Member States targeting animal welfare conditions for the animals exported from the Community.
(2) To facilitate an in-depth evaluation on the application of Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 (3), Member States should be required to provide detailed statistical information on cases of non-payment of export refunds. To this end, information should be concentrated at the level of the paying agencies, which will also contribute to gain additional transparency. It should therefore be provided that the veterinarian authority responsible for the exit point forwards a copy of the inspection report of the exit point to the paying agency.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 provides for checks to be carried out after leaving the customs territory of the Community. Moreover, it provides that checks may only be carried out by a veterinarian. In order to strengthen the effectiveness of these checks it should be provided that they may only be carried out by a veterinarian who holds a formal qualification in veterinary medicine within the meaning of Council Directive 78/1026/EEC of 18 December 1978 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in veterinary medicine, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services (4).
(4) Alternatively, without prejudice to the respective competences of the Community and the Member States, Member States should be required to verify that the international control and supervisory agencies check that veterinarians holding a qualification not covered by Directive 78/1026/EEC possess the knowledge of the requirements imposed by Council Directive 91/628/EEC of 19 November 1991 on the protection of animals during transport and amending Directives 90/425/EEC and 91/496/EEC (5).
(5) Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) This Regulation should apply after an appropriate timeframe for the implementation of the amendments.
(7) The Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 2(2), the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:
2. In Article 3(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
3. In Article 8, point (d) is replaced by the following:
‘(d) the reasons for the non-payment and the recovery of the refund for the animals referred to in points (b) and (c), as well as the number of those animals recorded under category B, C and D respectively as referred to in Annexes I, II and III;
(da) the numbers of penalties for each category defined in Article 6(1) and (2) with the corresponding numbers of animals and amounts of refund not paid;’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(1) and (2) shall apply to the export declarations accepted from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2102/2001
of 26 October 2001
fixing export refunds on fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3) lays down detailed rules on export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant quantities of the products listed in that Article to be exported, the difference between the international market prices for those products and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds.
(3) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or the outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, lemons, oranges and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards and table grapes of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standard can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) The application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1502/2001(5), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000(6), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.
(12) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A 1, A 2 and A 3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.
(13) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The export refunds on fruit and vegetables shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.
3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of A 2 and A 3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 November 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/88/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular Article 14(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2)(a), (b) and (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC, bovine animals for breeding and production intended for trade must undergo individual testing for tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic leucosis respectively, unless they originate in or come from a Member State or region thereof recognised officially free of the respective disease or an approved system of surveillance networks is implemented in the territory of that Member State.
(2) France is recognised officially free of bovine tuberculosis and enzootic bovine leucosis in accordance with Commission Decision 2003/467/EC(2), and 97,33 % of bovine herds were officially free from bovine brucellosis at 31 December 2002.
(3) Commission Decision 2002/907/EC of 15 November 2002 temporarily recognising the surveillance network system for bovine holdings introduced in France under Council Directive 64/432/EEC(3), requires that the provisional approval of the surveillance network system granted in November 2002 and the approval of the database granted in May 2001 shall be reviewed by 31 December 2003 in the light of inspection findings.
(4) Following a request by the competent authorities of France, a veterinary inspection mission was carried out which audited the system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in that Member State.
(5) Although substantial improvements were found during the mission, the system was at the time of the mission not yet fully implemented in particular in relation to all dealers, markets and abattoirs. In addition, financing by the competent authorities of France of the measures necessary to associate dealers to the surveillance network system was only guaranteed until April 2004.
(6) It is therefore the purpose of this Decision to extend the temporary approval of the system of surveillance networks established in France and to review this approval in the light of the progress made by that Member State to ensure the fully operational character of the system.
(7) Decision 2002/907/EC should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 1 of Decision 2002/907/EC shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 1
The surveillance network system for bovine holdings provided for in Article 14 of Directive 64/432/EEC introduced in France is hereby considered to be provisionally operational from 5 November 2002 until 30 April 2004 at the latest."
The provisional approval referred to in Article 1 of Decision 2002/907/EC shall be reviewed before 30 April 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

amending Decision 2005/50/EC on the harmonisation of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community
(notified under document C(2011) 5444)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/485/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 7 November 2008, the Commission issued a mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) to undertake technical studies on automotive short-range radar systems in support of the fundamental review pursuant to Article 5(2) of Commission Decision 2005/50/EC (2) and to undertake radio compatibility studies with regard to possible alternative approaches to the use of the 24 GHz range.
(2) CEPT reports 36 and 37 delivered pursuant to this mandate and the fundamental review carried out pursuant to Decision 2005/50/EC on evolution regarding the 24 GHz and 79 GHz bands indicate that the reference date of 30 June 2013 provided in Article 2(5) of that Decision is still valid, and that considering the current absence of harmful impact on other users of the 24 GHz band, there is no need to move it forward.
(3) Development of automotive short-range radar technology in the 79 GHz range is progressing. However, there are strong indications that integration of the applications of that technology in car manufacturing will not be achieved by the deadline set for short-range technology in the 24 GHz range and that, considering the time still necessary for the development, integration and testing phases, it is likely that integration of 79 GHz radars in cars to allow for a mass market distribution will be feasible by 2018 or a few years before at the earliest.
(4) Moreover, an additional period will be necessary in order to ensure the transition from the 24 GHz technology to the 79 GHz technology on car lines using 24 GHz technology which will exist when the new car lines equipped with the 79 GHz technology appear.
(5) It is essential to ensure continuity of the existing and future production of cars equipped with 24 GHz radars, considering their importance for traffic safety and the need to encourage the development of such applications in as many of the existing vehicles as possible; therefore a discontinuity of usable spectrum for radars must be avoided and a temporary solution is needed in order to ensure the transition between 1 July 2013 and 1 January 2018. To allow for an additional transition period, the date of 1 January 2018 should be extended by 4 years for automotive short-range radar equipment mounted on motor vehicles for which a type-approval application has been granted before 1 January 2018.
(6) Considering the international protection granted to radio astronomy, earth exploration satellite and space research passive services in the 23,60 GHz to 24 GHz band, and the exceptional character of the designation of that band for short-range radars by Decision 2005/50/EC, a prolongation of such designation is not a viable option. Moreover, the band 24 GHz to 24,25 GHz has been designated for industrial, scientific and medical purposes (ISM band).
(7) CEPT compatibility studies, including some military systems, indicate that the 24,25 GHz to 27,50 GHz band may be a technically feasible alternative solution. The band above 26,50 GHz has been identified by NATO as a planned military band for fixed and mobile systems.
(8) The threshold of a 7 % penetration rate imposed by Decision 2005/50/EC should be maintained, as there is no indication that such a limit would be exceeded before the switch-over to the 79 GHz band and to underline that the 24 GHz band remains a transitional solution.
(9) The Commission, assisted by the Member States, should continue to monitor the application of this Decision, in particular regarding the threshold limit, and the absence of harmful interference to other users of the band or to neighbouring bands, whether or not the threshold of 7 % is exceeded.
(10) Decision 2005/50/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
Decision 2005/50/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2, point 5 is replaced by the following:
‘5. “reference dates” means 30 June 2013 for the frequency between 21,65 and 24,25 GHz and 1 January 2018 for the frequency between 24,25 and 26,65 GHz;’;
2. Article 3 is amended as follows:
(a) in the second paragraph, the words ‘reference date’ are replaced by ‘reference dates’;
(b) in the third paragraph, the words ‘that date’ are replaced in two places by ‘those dates’;
(c) the following paragraph is added after the third paragraph:
3. Article 5 is amended as follows:
(a) in point (d) of paragraph 1, the words ‘the reference date’ are replaced by ‘the reference dates’;
(b) paragraphs 2 and 3 are deleted;
(c) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988, on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 20(2) a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works at national, regional or local levels, it may be necessary to establish in the interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Directive 89/106/EEC (2)’.
(2) With respect of the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be developed in different ways in the Member States.
(3) Interpretative document No 2 identifies one of those measures as the limitation of the generation and spread of fire and smoke within a given area by limiting the potential of construction products to contribute to the full development of a fire.
(4) The level of that limitation may be expressed only in terms of the different levels of reaction-to-fire performance of the products in their end-use application.
(5) By way of harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC of 8 February 2000 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regard the classification of the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products (3).
(6) In the case of certain construction products it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2000/147/EC.
(7) The reaction-to-fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2000/147/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States with the consequence that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic.
(8) Products have been considered in relation to their end-use application, where relevant.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘reaction to fire’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the reaction-to-fire classification adopted in Decision 2000/147/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/1955
of 29 October 2015
amending Annexes I and II to Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 21b thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The past years an increasing number of hybrid varieties of barley produced by the technique of cytoplasmic male sterility have been listed in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species pursuant to Article 17 of Directive 2002/53/EC (2).
(2) Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been accepted worldwide as a breeding technique for the production of hybrid varieties of barley. It encompasses a genetic system which naturally occurs in the cytoplasm of plants. That genetic system can be introduced into plants by means of crossing. On the basis of that technique, the genetic diversity of two or more parent lines can be combined. Therefore the performance of those varieties, in areas such as disease resistance and yields, can be improved. In view of that technical development it is appropriate to establish specific conditions for hybrid varieties of barley.
(3) Taking into account the technical similarities with the production of seeds of hybrids of rye and the needs of the users of the seed of hybrids of barley, it is appropriate to set out conditions for that seed similar to the conditions applying for the seeds of hybrids of rye.
(4) Experience has shown that the specific blend production system applied in the field, in combination with the weather related risks during the flowering period, would require a reduction of the varietal purity standard to 85 %, in the case the CMS technique is applied, allowing stable seed production under less favourable weather conditions. Therefore it is appropriate to allow a lower level of varietal purity than required for other hybrids.
(5) Annexes I and II to Directive 66/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
