Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 of 26 November 1996 laying down common marketing standards for certain fishery products (2), and in particular Article 8(4) and Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 lays down common marketing standards for certain fishery products. Detailed rules for applying those standards are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3703/85 (3).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Access of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Regulations (EEC) No 3709/89 (1) and No 3648/90 (2), laying down general rules for implementing the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the compensation mechanism on imports of fruit and vegetables originating respectively in Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 4 (1) thereof,
Whereas, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/90 of 19 December 1990 (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of the compensation mechanism to imports of fruit and vegetables from Spain,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 152 and Article 318 of the Act of Accession, a compensation mechanism is to be introduced on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Community of Ten', of fruit and vegetables from Spain and Portugal for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries; whereas, the Community offer prices for cabbage lettuce coming from Spain and Portugal should be fixed only during the period where reference prices are fixed with regard to third countries, this means from 1 November up to and including 31 May of the following year;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 152 (2) (a) and 318 (1) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the producer prices in each Member State of the Community of Ten, plus transport and packaging costs incurred by the products from the production regions to the representative consumption centres of the Community and bearing in mind developments in the cost of production in the fruit and vegetable sector; whereas the abovementioned producer prices correspond to the average prices recorded during the three years preceding the date of fixing of the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price cannot exceed the reference price applied for third countries;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal variations in prices, the marketing year should be divided into one or more periods and a Community offer price should be fixed for each of them;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulations (EEC) Nos 3709/89 and 3648/90, the producer prices to be used for the determination of the Community offer price are to be those of a domestic product defined by its commercial characterstics 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 flucutations, it shall not be taken into account;
Whereas the application of the abovementioned criteria results in Community offer prices being fixed for cabbage lettuce for the period 1 November 1991 to 31 May 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1991/92 marketing year, the Community offer price for cabbage lettuce (CN codes 0705 11 10 and 90) applicable with regard to Spain and Portugal, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of Class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November 1991 to 31 December 1991: 70,70,
- from 1 January 1992 to 29 February 1992: 75,60,
- from 1 March 1992 to 31 May 1992: 82,34.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

2009/591/EC: Council Decision of 7 July 2009 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Latvia
|
4.8.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 202/50
COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 July 2009
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Latvia
(2009/591/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Latvia,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 104 of the Treaty, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 104 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1), which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact, provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact in 2005 sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Latvia. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Latvia on 2 July 2009 (3).
(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Latvia, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
(7) According to the April 2009 EDP notification, the general government deficit in Latvia reached 4 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. Furthermore, the deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value. The excess over the reference value can, however, be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it results from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. According to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, real GDP growth in Latvia is projected to be strongly negative in 2009, with output 13,1 % after falling by 4,6 % in 2008; more recent indicators point to an even larger contraction in 2009, of the order of 18 %.
(8) General government gross debt stood at 19,5 % of GDP in 2008, still well below the 60 % of GDP reference value. It is nevertheless projected to be on a rapidly growing trend (in the Commission services′ spring forecast, rising to 34,1 % of GDP in 2009 and 50,1 % of GDP in 2010, assuming full take-up of the international financial assistance being extended to Latvia during the period up to 2011). Taking account of the new consolidation measures adopted in June 2009 and further consolidation plans indicated by the authorities for 2010-12, and depending on whether and to what extent the government assumes further debt in respect of financial sector stabilisation needs, the gross debt ratio may exceed the 60 % of GDP reference value in 2012 even with sufficient corrective action.
(9) The budgetary impact of the fully-funded pillar of the systemic pension reform introduced by the Latvian government will be considered, in line with the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact. While the implementation of these reforms leads to a temporary deterioration of the budgetary position, the long-term sustainability of public finances clearly improves. Based on Commission services′ estimates, the total cost of such a reform undertaken in Latvia amounts to 1,6 % of GDP in 2008, and, due to the temporary reduction of contributions from 8 % to 2 % in 2009, – 0,4 % in 2009 and in 2010. The social contribution rate transferred to the fully-funded second pillar is planned to be increased to 4 % in 2011 and to 6 % in 2012, which is projected to increase the total cost of the reform in 2011-2012 respectively to 0,8 and 1,2 percentage points of GDP. According to the Stability and Growth Pact, these can be taken into account on a linear degressive basis for a transitory period and only where the deficit remains close to the reference value. Since in 2008 the deficit was not close to the reference value, and for 2009 and 2010 the deficit forecast by the Commission services remains not close to the reference value, the cost of the pension reform cannot be taken into account.
(10) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Latvia, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Latvia.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Latvia.

Whereas in order to take account of existing import arrangements in the pigmeat sector and those resulting from the Agricultural Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of partial exemption from the import duty for certain products from the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania;
Whereas concessions were granted pursuant Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93 of 30 September 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary and the former Czech and Slovak Republic (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 341/95 (3), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1590/94 of 30 June 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangement provided for in the Interim Agreements between the Community, of the one part and Bulgaria and Romania, of the other part (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 341/95; whereas, since the levies are being replaced by customs duties from 1 July 1995, it is necessary to make transitional adjustments to these rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
In Regulations (EEC) No 2698/93 and (EC) No 1590/94, the word 'levy` shall be replaced by the word 'customs duty` each time that it appears.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 28 June 1990
on the right of residence
(90/364/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 3 (c) of the Treaty provides that the activities of the Community shall include, as provided in the Treaty, the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to freedom of movement for persons;
Whereas Article 8a of the Treaty provides that the internal market must be established by 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty;
Whereas national provisions on the right of nationals of the Member States to reside in a Member State other than their own must be harmonized to ensure such freedom of movement;
Whereas beneficiaries of the right of residence must not become an unreasonable burden on the public finances of the host Member State;
Whereas this right can only be genuinely exercised if it is also granted to members of the family;
Whereas the beneficiaries of this Directive should be covered by administrative arrangements similar to those laid down in particular in Directive 68/360/EEC (4) and Directive 64/221/EEC (5);
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the action concerned, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. Member States shall grant the right of residence to nationals of Member States who do not enjoy this right under other provisions of Community law and to members of their families as defined in paragraph 2, provided that they themselves and the members of their families are covered by sickness insurance in respect of all risks in the host Member State and have sufficient resources to avoid becoming a burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during their period of residence.
The resources referred to in the first subparagraph shall be deemed sufficient where they are higher than the level of resources below which the host Member State may grant social assistance to its nationals, taking into account the personal circumstances of the applicant and, where appropriate, the personal circumstances of persons admitted pursuant to paragraph 2.
Where the second subparagraph cannot be applied in a Member State, the resources of the applicant shall be deemed sufficient if they are higher than the level of the minimum social security pension paid by the host Member State.
2. The following shall, irrespective of their nationality, have the right to install themselves in another Member State with the holder of the right of residence:
(a) his or her spouse and their descendants who are dependants;

However, the Member States may, when they deem it to be necessary, require revalidation of the permit at the end of the first two years of residence. Where a member of the family does not hold the nationality of a Member State, he or she shall be issued with a residence document of the same validity as that issued to the national on whom he or she depends.
For the purpose of issuing the residence permit or document, the Member State may require only that the applicant present a valid identity card or passport and provide proof that he or she meets the conditions laid down in Article 1.
2. Articles 2, 3, 6 (1) (a) and (2) and Article 9 of Directive 68/360/EEC shall apply mutatis mutandis to the beneficiaries of this Directive.
The spouse and the dependent children of a national of a Member State entitled to the right of residence within the territory of a Member State shall be entitled to take up any employed or self-employed activity anywhere within the territory of that Member State, even if they are not nationals of a Member State.
Member States shall not derogate from the provisions of this Directive save on grounds of public policy, public security or public health. In that event, Directive 64/221/EEC shall apply.
3. This Directive shall not affect existing law on the acquisition of second homes.
The right of residence shall remain for as long as beneficiaries of that right fulfil the conditions laid down in Article 1.
The Commission shall, not more than three years after the date of implementation of this Directive, and at three-yearly intervals thereafter, draw up a report on the application of this Directive and submit it to the European Parliament and the Council.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 June 1992. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Decision
of 26 November 2002
concerning the non-inclusion of benomyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substance
(notified under document number C(2002) 4534)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/928/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/81/EC(2), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the program of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), and in particular Article 7(3A)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provided for the Commission to carry out a programme of work for the examination of the active substances used in plant protection products which were already on the market on 25 July 1993. Detailed rules for the carrying out of this programme were established in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), designated the active substances which should be assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, designated a Member State to act as rapporteur in respect of the assessment of each substance and identified the producers of each active substance who submitted a notification in due time.
(3) Benomyl is one of the 89 active substances designated in Regulation (EC) No 933/94.
(4) In accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, Germany, being the designated rapporteur Member State, submitted on 21 November 1997 to the Commission the report of its assessment of the information submitted by the notifiers in accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation.
(5) On receipt of the report of the rapporteur Member State, the Commission undertook consultations with experts of the Member States as well as with the main notifier as provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(6) The assessment report prepared by Germany has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. This review was finalised on 28 June 2002 in the format of the Commission review report for benomyl, in accordance with Article 7(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(7) Assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing benomyl satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) The main notifier informed the Commission and the rapporteur Member State that it no longer wished to participate in the programme of work for this active substance, and therefore further information will not be submitted.
(9) Benomyl should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing benomyl are withdrawn within a prescribed period and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(11) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing benomyl allowed by Member States, in accordance with Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(12) This Decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant protection products containing certain active substances(7), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Benomyl is not included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing benomyl are withdrawn within a period of six months from the date of adoption of the present Decision;
(b) from the date of adoption of the present Decision no authorisations for plant protection products containing benomyl are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and not longer than 18 months from the date of adoption of the present Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/91 (2), and in particular Article 5 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas the concepts of 'eligible ewe' and 'eligible she-goat' as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1970/87 (5), must be redefined because of the monitoring difficulties they entail; whereas, given the administrative difficulties associated with the elaboration of new definitions, Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 (6) provided that they should be maintained for the 1991 marketing year; whereas, since the difficulties continue to exist, it is appropriate that the said definitions be maintained for the 1992 marketing year as well;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 should be amended accordingly,
Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 is hereby amended as follows:
- in the first paragraph the words '1991 marketing year' shall be replaced by '1992 marketing year',
- the second paragraph shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1167/93 of 13 May 1993 deferring the final date for sowing oil seeds in certain areas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 364/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (1) (c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 819/93 (4), fixes 15 May as the final date applicable to the dates set by Member States for sowing and the submission of applications in respect of oil seeds, pursuant to Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas the aforementioned date does not allow sowings to be undertaken, in certain cases, under suitable conditions; whereas, in accordance with the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, provision should therefore be made for an additional time limit by which to sow where the weather conditions in certain areas make such a time limit necessary; whereas the said time limit should not, however, compromise the efficiency required of the support system for producers of arable crops, nor upset the introduction of checks relating to this system; whereas as a result of the experience gained in 1992/93 and with account taken thereof, it is appropriate to fix 31 May as the said time limit for the areas concerned;
Whereas deferring the sowing date for certain arable crops in certain areas does not constitute sufficient grounds for changing the date laid down for the lodgment of 'area' aid applications as referred to in Article 6 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992, establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (5); whereas the procedure whereby producers confirm sowings to the competent authorities provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 may be implicitly established with a view to simplifying matters;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the final date for sowing shall be postponed to 31 May 1993 in the case of oil seeds in areas to be defined by the Member State in accordance with the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 and located within the regions listed in the Annex hereto.
The date for submitting an 'area' aid application, as well as any relevant amendments thereto, shall be same as that fixed by the Member State, in accordance with Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92, for the areas and crops other than those mentioned in the Annex.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (6):
(a) the final date for confirming sowings to the competent authority, provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 shall be fixed as 31 May 1993;
(b) the Member States may introduce an implicit confirmation procedure whereby no notification on the part of the producer is equivalent to a confirmation of sowing. By the same token, producers who have not carried out the sowings projected must signal that fact.
The Member States shall notify the Commission, by 26 May 1993 at the latest, of the measures taken to apply this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, in respect of cotton yarn, not put up for retail sale, products of category 1 a) (code 40.0014), the relevant ceiling amounts to 13,2 tonnes; whereas, on 12 November 1986, imports of the products in question into the Community, originating in Thailand, a country covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties for the products in question with regard to Thailand,
As from 25 November 1986, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3600/85, shall be re-established in respect of the following products, imported into the Community and originating in Thailand:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The intervention agencies are, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (2), to sell by invitation to tender certain quantities of butter from intervention stocks that they hold and to grant aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter. Article 18 of that Regulation stipulates that in the light of the tenders received in response to each individual invitation to tender a minimum selling price shall be fixed for butter and maximum aid shall be fixed for cream, butter and concentrated butter.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 861/2014
of 5 August 2014
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 1326/2013 (2) amended Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 and replaced CN codes 9619 00 to 9619 00 90 by CN codes 9619 00 to 9619 00 89.
(2) CN codes 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 cover sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies, and similar articles, of other materials than of textile materials. The articles of those CN codes can, for example, be made of paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres. They can also be made of combinations of those materials.
(3) Due to divergent views on the classification of articles falling under CN subheadings 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 and in order to facilitate such classification throughout the territory of the Union, it is necessary to further clarify the scope of those new subheadings.
(4) In the interest of legal certainty, it is thus necessary to insert a new additional note in Chapter 96 of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure a uniform interpretation of those subheadings throughout the Union.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Chapter 96 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the following Additional note 1 is inserted:
‘1. Subheadings 9619 00 71 to 9619 00 89 include goods of paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres.
(a) an inner layer (for example, of nonwovens) designed to wick fluid from the wearer's skin and thereby prevent chafing;
(b) an absorbent core for collecting and storing the fluid until the product can be disposed of;
(c) an outer layer (for example, of plastics) to prevent leakage of the fluid from the absorbent core.’
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 the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of the Council of 26 October 1971 on the common organization of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1740/91 (2), and in particular Article 6 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that a reference price for each type of hybrid maize and hybrid sorghum for sowing is to be fixed annually; whereas those reference prices must be fixed on the basis of the free-at-frontier prices recorded during the last three marketing years except for abnormally low prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1578/72 of the Council of 20 July 1972 laying down general rules for fixing reference prices and for determining free-at-frontier offer prices for hybrid maize and hybrid sorghum for sowing (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1984/86 (4), only prices for imports from third countries which are representative in terms of quantity and quality of the product should be taken into consideration;
Whereas imports of the types of hybrid maize for sowing falling within CN code 1005 10 19 may not be considered as representative on account of the very small quantity involved; whereas no reference prices may therefore be fixed for those types of maize;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the reference prices for hybrid maize and hybrid sorghum for sowing falling within CN codes 1005 10 11, 1005 10 13, 1005 10 15 and 1007 00 10 shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 6 May 1987
derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78 laying down detailed rules of application in respect of the production refund for sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 229/87 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3834/86 (4), makes the issue of the production refund certificate conditional upon certain administrative procedures; whereas, by reason in particular of the time necessary for the Member States to implement the new arrangements applicable as from 1 July 1986, those procedures have not always been completed in good time, particularly the possible approval of processors, the verification of information to be provided in the application for the refund certificate and the lodging of the security; whereas the competent Member State authorities have found themselves for this reason sometimes unable to issue the refund certificate without a period of delay; whereas the processors cannot for this reason be held responsible for non-compliance with some of the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78; whereas a transitional period should consequently be established enabling the processors, in so far as the administrative controls can be completed in a satisfactory manner, to benefit from the refund in those cases where the basic product has been processed before the application for the certificate; whereas it is appropriate to provide for a period covering the first six months of the 1986/87 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. At the request of the processor to be submitted until 29 May 1987, by way of derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78, the competent authorities of the Member States may issue refund certificates in respect of basic products which were processed into the chemical products referred to in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1010/86 (5) between 1 July 1986 and 31 December 1986, where the application for the certificate and/or the lodging of the guarantee took place after the processing of the basic product, on condition that the processor provides sufficient evidence to enable the said competent authorities to carry out the necessary administrative controls and to establish that the processor complies with the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. At the time of making the request referred to in paragraph 1, the processor in question must provide evidence, in the form of a declaration made by him, certifying that the chemical products to which the request for the refund certificate refers have not benefited from the export refund applicable to certain products in the sugar sector which are exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty.
3. The derogation referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply only to processors who were not able to comply, because of reasons beyond their control, with the provisions of Articles 2 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78 before the processing of the basic product in question.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2011/29/EU
of 7 March 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include etridiazole as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 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) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included etridiazole.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of etridiazole.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to the Netherlands, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The Netherlands evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 2 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on etridiazole to the Commission on 24 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for etridiazole.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing etridiazole may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include etridiazole in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, in assessing applications to authorise plant protection products containing etridiazole for uses other than on ornamental plants, Member States shall ensure that any necessary information is provided before such an authorisation is granted. Moreover, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming: the specification of the technical material as commercially manufactured by appropriate analytical data, the relevance of the impurities, the equivalence between the specifications of the technical material, as commercially manufactured, and those of the test material used in the ecotoxicity dossiers, the relevance of the plant metabolites 5-hydroxy-ethoxyetridiazole acid and 3-hydroxymethyletridiazole, the indirect exposure of groundwater and soil-dwelling organisms to etridiazole and to its soil metabolites dichloro-etridiazole and etridiazole acid, and the long-range and short-range transport through the atmosphere of etridiazole acid.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing etridiazole to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of etridiazole and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning etridiazole in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) 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.
The line concerning etridiazole in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 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 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing etridiazole as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to etridiazole are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing etridiazole 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 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning etridiazole. 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 etridiazole as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing etridiazole as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 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 2011.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1949/81 (2), and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1/81 of 1 January 1981 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for cereals (5),
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/80 (6) lays down general implementing rules in respect of certain food-aid operations involving cereals and rice ; whereas, following the accession of Greece it is necessary in order to ensure that the tendering and contract procedures function properly, to lay down the method for comparing tenders when mobilization on the Community market covers products in respect of which an accession compensatory amount is applicable in trade between Greece and the other Member States;
Whereas it should be reiterated that no refund or accession compensatory amount is to be applicable on export of such goods as Community food aid, since the financial cost of the product is borne by the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EEC) No 1974/80 is hereby amended as follows; 1. Article 8 (1) is replaced by the following:
"1. For the purpose of comparing tenders relating to the mobilization of the product on the Community market, each tender shall be corrected by the accession compensatory amount and by the monetary compensatory amount, if any, applicable on the closing date for the submission of tenders to exports from the Member State specified in the tender in accordance with the second indent of Article 4 (3) (e).

2002/882/EC: Council Decision of 5 November 2002 providing further macro-financial assistance to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
|
Council Decision
of 5 November 2002
providing further macro-financial assistance to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(2002/882/EC)
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(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) authorities re-established links with international organisations and in particular made progress towards normalising the country's financial relations with multilateral creditors, including the European Investment Bank, and with official bilateral creditors.
(2) Since October 2000, the FRY has achieved substantial progress in economic stabilisation and reform and has made important steps towards a well-functioning market economy.
(3) Within the Stabilisation and Association process, which is the framework for the European Union's (EU) relations with the region, it is desirable to support efforts to sustain political and economic stabilisation in the FRY, with a view to evolving towards the development of a full cooperation relationship with the Community.
(4) Financial assistance from the Community should be instrumental in bringing the FRY closer to the Community.
(5) The Community already provided in 2001 macro-financial assistance of EUR 345 million to the FRY(4). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved in May 2002 a three-year "Extended Arrangement" for the FRY of about USD 829 million to support the authorities' economic programme in 2002 to 2005.
(6) The World Bank decided in May 2001 to make available to the FRY on a temporary basis a package of concessional loans of USD 540 million over a three year period. So far, two structural adjustment credits of USD 70 million and of USD 85 million have been approved in January and May 2002, respectively, to support reforms in public finance as well as in the energy and social sector and to foster private sector development.
(7) The Members of the Paris Club agreed in November 2001 on a substantial debt relief in favour of the FRY, already alleviating the balance of payments situation.
(8) The authorities of the FRY have requested financial assistance from the international financial institutions, the Community, and other bilateral donors.
(9) Over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, an important residual financing gap remains to be covered to support the policy objectives attached to the authorities' reform efforts.
(10) Community macro-financial assistance to the FRY is an appropriate measure to help ease the country's external financial constraints, supporting the balance of payments and strengthening the reserve position.
(11) Financial assistance from the Community in the form of a combination of a long-term loan and a straight grant is an appropriate measure to support the sustainability of the FRY's external financial position, given its limited borrowing capacity. This Community financial assistance should be effective and properly implemented.
(12) The inclusion of a grant component in this assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the Community budgetary authority.
(13) A new Constitutional Charter is presently in the process of parliamentary discussion. Upon its entry into force, the FRY would continue to exist under a new name. The pending name change does not affect this Decision.
(14) Upon entry into force of the aforementioned Constitutional Charter, the National Bank of Yugoslavia may cease to exist. Therefore, after entry into force of the Constitutional Charter, the macro-financial assistance provided under this Decision will be paid to the institution or institutions designated to take on the responsibilities from the National Bank of Yugoslavia for receiving funds in the context of this Decision.
(15) This assistance should be managed by the Commission, in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee.
(16) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,
1. The Community shall make available to the FRY further macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan and a straight grant with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the country's reserve position.
2. The loan component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum principal of EUR 55 million with a maximum maturity of 15 years. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of the FRY in the form of a loan.
3. The grant component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum of EUR 75 million.
4. This Community financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with the agreements reached between the IMF and the FRY.
1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the authorities of the FRY, after consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to further Community macro-financial assistance. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1(4).
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Committee and in coordination with the IMF, that economic policies in the FRY are in accordance with the objectives of this macro-financial assistance and that its conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The loan and grant components of this assistance shall be made available to the FRY in at least two instalments. Subject to Article 2, the first instalment is to be released on the basis of satisfactory implementation of the adjustment and reform programme of the FRY under the present Extended Arrangement with the IMF.
2. Subject to Article 2, the second and any further instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record on the FRY's adjustment and reform programme, and not before one quarter after the release of the previous instalment.
3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of the FRY, and after the entry into force of a new Constitutional Charter, to the institution or institutions designated to take on the responsibilities of the National Bank of Yugoslavia for receiving funds in the context of this Decision.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risks, or in any other commercial risk.
2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if the FRY so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and that it may be exercised.
3. At the request of the FRY, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the loan's interest rate, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by the FRY, if appropriate.
5. The Economic and Financial Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraph 2 and 3 at least once a year.
At least once a year, and before September, the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation on the implementation of this Decision in the previous year.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until two years after that date.

Council Regulation (EC) No 248/2008 of 17 March 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the national quotas for milk

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 248/2008
of 17 March 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the national quotas for milk
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (the ‘single CMO’ Regulation) (1) sets down the national milk quotas for the seven 12-month periods commencing on 1 April 2008 within the milk quota system for production limitation.
(2) Article 66(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that those quotas are fixed without prejudice to possible review in the light of the general market conditions and particular conditions in certain Member States.
(3) The Council requested that the Commission undertake a market outlook report when the 2003 reforms of the common market organisation in milk and milk products had been fully implemented with a view to assessing the appropriateness of allocating additional quotas.
(4) This report has been conducted and concluded the current situation of the Community and world markets and their projected situation in the period to 2014, warrant an additional increase in quota by 2 % to facilitate the production of more milk within the Community to help satisfy emerging market requirements for dairy products.
(5) Therefore it is appropriate to increase all Member State quotas as shown in Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 by 2 % from 1 April 2008.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is hereby replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEANCOMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof, Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 provides for the cancellation of certain documents or certificates should those concerned suffer a disadvantage following adjustments to amounts fixed in advance; made following an alteration of the agricultural conversion rates in accordance with Article 6 or Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85; Whereas those concerned may be considered as having accepted the disadvantage in cases where they undertook commitments at a time when the alteration of the agricultural conversion rate was known, concerning an operation to be effected after that alteration; whereas cancellation is not justified in such cases; whereas a rule must be provided to show from what date the alteration may be considered to have been known; Whereas in other cases the disadvantage allows cancellation of the document certifying the advance fixing of an amount; whereas to assess the existence of a disadvantage, the situation before and after the adjustment must be compared; whereas, for this purpose, some of the factors concerning the relevant operation must be taken into consideration; Whereas, however, only those consequences of exchange rate alterations referred to in Article 6 or Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 may be taken into account; whereas under normal circumstances alterations to the central rate or normal changes in the market rate of a Member State's currency have an impact on the monetary compensatory amounts which should not be taken into account; whereas, similarly, an alteration in the contract price is an irrelevant factor, since it is entirely a matter for the individual concerned; Whereas, on the other hand, other measures adopted under the Community agricultural regulations may influence the situation of those concerned; whereas this is the case, in particular, for a decision concerning prices fixed in ECU at Community level; whereas a change in the level of prices fixed in ECU affects either import or export charges and refunds, through the adjustments to be made in ECU under the market organization rules for the various products, or monetary compensatory amounts which have not been fixed in advance; whereas account should be taken of this when the disadvantage is being determined, so that in this way it can in certain cases be partly or wholly offset; Whereas no adjustment related to a change in the agricultural conversion rate can be made for import or export charges or refunds fixed in advance at the same time as the monetary compensatory amounts; whereas the fixing in advance of these sums also entails the 'freezing' of the agricultural conversion rate and of the monetary coefficient applying to these charges and refunds which were valid when the sum was fixed in advance; whereas, consequently, there can be no disadvantage for the import or export charges and refunds fixed in advance, since these undergo no change following a change in the agricultural conversion rate; Whereas the adjustments to be made under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 may normally be made subject to the same rules; whereas, however, there is no reason to implement the exception concerning the advance fixing of monetary compensatory amounts, as the adjustments in ECU made under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 also affect the import charges and refunds fixed in advance together with the monetary compensatory amounts; Whereas, as regards the wine sector, certain exceptions in respect of the entry into force of the agricultural conversion rates must be made so as to ensure that intervention measures are carried out for all participants on the same terms; Whereas this Regulation supersedes Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1054/78 of 19 May 1978 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 on the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture and replacing Regulation (EEC) No 937/77 (1); Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the relevant management committees,
1. Neither advance fixing nor the certificates or other documents which are evidence of that advance fixing may be cancelled under Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 if:(a) for certificates or other documents certifying advance fixing: these documents are applied for within the meaning of Article 14 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 (2),(b)for the amounts established following a tender award: a tender mentioning these amounts has been validly lodged,(c)for a contract concluded with an intervention agency: the contract was concluded,on or after the date of public announcement of a decision on the alteration of the relevant agricultural conversion rate.In the case of (b), the last day of the period allowed for lodging tenders shall, for the purposes of this Article, be deemed to be the day of the lodging of the application for the relevant certificate. 2. The publication of a press release by the body responsible for the alteration of the relevant agricultural conversion rate shall be deemed to be a public announcement. The date of publication of the press release in question shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Communities.A date different from that announced in the press release may be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85.
1. This Article shall apply where adjustments are made in accordance with Article 6 and Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85. 2. No adjustment under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 shall be made where the monetary compensatory amount has been fixed in advance. 3. For the amounts applicable in trade, the disadvantage conferring entitlement to cancellation of the certificate or other document certifying advance fixing shall be determined by comparing all the following amounts, where appropriate, valid before and after the entry into force of the new conversion rate:(a) import charges, except customs duties, fixed in advance, and, where appropriate, adjusted following a modification of prices in ECU,(b)export refunds and levies fixed in advance, and, where appropriate, adjusted following a modification of prices in ECU,(c)subsidies fixed in advance for deliveries to the French overseas department of RĂŠunion of rice coming under heading No 10.06 of the Common Customs Tariff,(d)accession compensatory amounts,(e)monetary compensatory amounts. 4. The comparison shall be made in the currency of the Member State in which the certificate or other document was issued.For the purposes of the comparison, no account shall be taken of any change in:(a) the purchase or sale price of the relevant product given in the contracts of the parties concerned, because of a change in a conversion rate,(b)the monetary compensatory amount, following a change only in the central rates or only in the recorded spot rates of national currencies. 5. For other amounts, including those given in a contract concluded with an intervention agency, the disadvantage conferring entitlement to cancellation shall be determined by comparing, in the currency of the Member State in which the competent intervention agency is situated, the amount given in the relevant document or in the contract before and after alteration of the agricultural conversion rate.
At the request of the Member States the Commission shall supply the information necessary for calculating the disadvantage.
Where the agricultural conversion rate is altered during the course of a wine growing year, the new rate shall not apply to the following operations, where the decisions to carry out these operations have been taken before the entry into force of the new rate:(a) the re-storage aid referred to in Article 10 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 (1);(b)the measures referred to in Articles 11, 12a, 14, 14a, 15, 39, 40 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.
Regulation (EEC) No 1054/78 is hereby repealed.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 868/2002(2) and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1388/2004
of 30 July 2004
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 on certain detailed implementing rules concerning the keeping of accounts for the purpose of determining the incomes of agricultural holdings
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation No 79/65/EEC of the Council of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 (2), the liaison agency forwards the farm returns to the Commission according to the technical specifications laid down in Annex III of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2237/77 of 23 September 1977 on the form of farm return to be used for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings (3). For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to define the moment at which the farm returns can be considered to have been forwarded to the Commission taking into account the development in those technical specifications.
(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 provides furthermore that the liaison agency shall forward all the farm returns to the Commission not later than nine months after the end of the accounting year to which they relate. It is appropriate to prolong this period for the accounting year 2003, to give the liaison agencies time to adjust their work organisation in order to respect the new definition of the moment at which the farm returns can be considered to have been forwarded to the Commission.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 3
The liaison agency shall forward all the farm returns, presented in the form laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2237/77, to the Commission not later than nine months after the end of the accounting year to which they relate. However, for the accounting year 2003 the farm returns shall be forwarded to the Commission not later than fourteen months after the end of that accounting year.
The farm returns shall be regarded as having been forwarded to the Commission when the liaison agency, after the data have been introduced in the Commission’s data delivery and control system and after the subsequent computer checks have been executed, confirms the data to be ready to be loaded in the Commission’s database.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1191/96 of 26 June 1996 amending, in respect of sour cherries, Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Part III, Section I, Annex 2 in the combined nomenclature, which constitutes Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), contains the list of products to which an entry price applies and also, in respect of each of those products, the scale of entry prices used for the tariff classification of imported products and for determining the import duties applicable; whereas the application of the said entry prices in the case of sour cherries, products which are used almost exclusively by the processing industry, can represent an excessive burden for the industry; whereas lower entry prices should therefore be set for those products; whereas the entry price to be fixed must take into account in particular the average unit values recorded in trade over a representative period; whereas the ad valorem autonomous rates of duties for those products should also be reduced to the same level as the ad valorem conventional rates of duties;
Whereas the period of importation for sour cherries starts on 15 June; whereas, in order to allow the industry to be supplied under normal conditions from the beginning of the processing period, the necessary transitional measures have been adopted in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1739/95 of 17 July 1995 adopting certain transitional measures relating to the entry price arrangements applicable to sour cherries (2),
1. Part III, Section I, Annex 2 in the combined nomenclature, which constitutes Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. At the time of the annual reduction of the ad valorem conventional rates of duty in respect of sour cherries falling within CN codes 0809 20 31, 0809 20 41, 0809 20 51 and 0209 20 61, decided upon in the framework of implementing the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the corresponding ad valorem autonomous rates of duties shall be reduced to the same level and according to the same timetable.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas the quotas for 1988 for imports into Portugal of certain products from Spain are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2199/88 (4); whereas Article 4 (4) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 lays down a minimum annual rate of increase of the quotas of 10 % during the first stage; whereas these quotas are in addition to those applicable under Article 269 of the Act of Accession to imports from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas, however, the Portuguese authorities have requested that quantitative restrictions on imports, in the pigmeat sector, be limited to imports of live swine; whereas the evolution of the trade since accession allows the acceptance of this request; whereas the quota for 1989 should be fixed accordingly;
Whereas, to ensure proper management of the quota, applications for import authorizations should be subject to the lodging of a security; whereas provision should also be made for the quota to be staggered over the year;
Whereas provision should be made for Portugal to communicate information to the Commission on the application of the quota;
Whereas this Regulation replaces Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87; whereas the said Regulation should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The quota for 1989 that Portugal may apply pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85, on imports of live swine from Spain, shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
1. The Portuguese authorities shall issue import authorizations so as to ensure a fair allocation of the available quantity between the applicants.

- 25 % during the period from 1 January to 31 March 1989,
- 25 % during the period from 1 April to 30 June 1989,
- 25 % during the period from 1 July to 30 September 1989,
- 25 % during the period from 1 October to 31 December 1989.
2. Applications for import authorizations shall be subject to the lodging of a security which shall be released under the conditions defined by the Portuguese authorities once the goods have been imported.
The Portuguese authorities shall communicate to the Commission the measures which they adopt for the application of Article 2.
They shall transmit, not later than the 15th of each month, the following information in respect of the preceding month:
- the quantities covered by the import authorizations issued,
- the quantities imported.
Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2013/255/CFSP of 31 May 2013 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (2) gives effect to most of the measures provided for in Decision 2013/255/CFSP.

(6) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.
(7) Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 is amended as follows:

authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize Bt11xMIR604 (SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(2011/893/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 7(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 31 October 2007, Syngenta Seeds SAS submitted to the competent authority of the United Kingdom an application, in accordance with Article 5 and Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604 maize (‘the application’).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of products other than food and feed containing or consisting of Bt11xMIR604 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with Article 5(5) and Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC. It also includes a monitoring plan for environmental effects conforming with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(3) On 18 May 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Article 6 and Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. It considered that maize Bt11xMIR604 is as safe as its non-genetically modified counterpart with respect to potential effects on human and animal health or the environment. Therefore it concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604 maize as described in the application (‘the products’) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of their intended uses (3).
(4) In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Article 6(4) and Article 18(4) of that Regulation.
(5) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.
(6) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.
(7) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(8) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and products other than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements in Article 4(6) for products containing or consisting of GMOs. Traceability requirements for products containing or consisting of GMOs are laid down in paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 4 and for food and feed produced from GMOs are laid down in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(10) The authorisation holder should submit annual reports on the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environmental effects. Those results should be presented in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/770/EC of 13 October 2009 establishing standard reporting formats for presenting the monitoring results of the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms, as or in products, for the purpose of placing on the market, pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). The EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements for the use of the food and feed, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Article 6(5) and Article 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(11) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(12) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing-House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (7).
(13) The applicant has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision.
(14) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chair and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures.
(15) Since, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal and the Council indicated that its proceedings on this file were concluded, these measures are to be adopted by the Commission,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) Bt11xMIR604, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1005/2005
of 30 June 2005
fixing the derived intervention prices for white sugar for the 2005/2006 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 fixes the intervention price for white sugar for non-deficit areas at EUR 631,9/tonne for the 2001/2002 to 2005/2006 marketing years.
(2) Article 2(1)(b) of that Regulation provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each deficit area each year. When those prices are fixed, account is to be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, may be expected to occur under natural conditions of price formation on the market and in view of experience gained and the costs of transporting sugar from surplus areas to deficit areas.
(3) To establish whether an area is a deficit area, projections should be made on the basis of the data returned by the Member States relating both to the current marketing year as regards consumption trends, and to the prospects for the coming marketing year as regards developments in available production. As a result, areas should be recognised as deficit areas only where the projections clearly indicate that a deficit is likely to occur.
(4) On this basis, the areas of production in Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom, Portugal and Finland are likely to be deficit areas.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The derived intervention prices for white sugar in the deficit areas of the Community for the 2005/2006 marketing year shall be:
(a) EUR 648,80/tonne for all areas in Spain;
(b) EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Ireland and the United Kingdom;
(c) EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Portugal;
(d) EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Finland.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

The new company is to produce steel tubes, and in particular large and small welded hollow sections. Technically, it will have an annual maximum production capacity of 225000 tonnes, but its annual production is, however, to be limited initially to 100000 tonnes. It will produce both large (diameter larger than 406,4 mm) and small tubes, round and shaped. Production of large tubes is expected to represent around 25 % of total production. The plant will employ 60 people.
State aid to the sector of large welded steel tubes is subject to prior notification to the Commission in accordance with point 4.1(a) of the Community framework for certain steel sectors not covered by the ECSC Treaty(3) (hereinafter "the EC framework for steel"), and it cannot be implemented before it has been agreed to. Although the company will produce tubular products of different sizes, only about 25 % fall under this obligation. However, because it can switch between product sizes according to demand, without any technical adaptation, the Commission has to assess the aid as if all the company's production were of large welded steel tubes.
As stated at the time of opening of the procedure, when assessing aid to a company covered by the EC framework for steel, the Commission assesses the market situation of the sub-sector of the undertaking, in particular whether or not it suffers from structural overcapacity, and the effect the aided investment may have on that situation and on competition in general. The Commission also takes into account the regional dimension of the aided investments: if the company in receipt of the aid is located in an assisted area, the potential benefits that the aided investment brings to the development of the region are to be balanced against any negative effects on competition. Finally, the Commission has to satisfy itself that no aid will be transferred to the ECSC steel sector, inasmuch as aid awarded to subsidiaries of steel groups, for non-ECSC activities could ultimately benefit ECSC activities.
In the steel tubes sector, excess production capacity has existed since the mid-1980s. In 1997, the rate of capacity utilisation in the Community was only 49 % in the sub-sector of large welded steel tubes in general, where the company will be active.
Following a preliminary examination, the Commission concluded that negative effects on competition could not be excluded from the outset and that they might overweigh the potential benefits that the region would receive from the aided investment. Also, the possibility that the aid to be granted to AG Tubos Europa SA might be transferred to the ECSC steel sector was not clearly excluded. It accordingly decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 93(2) of the Treaty in respect of this aid.
III. COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
All the third parties who intervened in the procedure referred to the existing excess capacity in the sector of steel tubes in general, and of large welded tubes in particular. For that reason, they took the view that the Commission should oppose the aid because, if the aid were to be granted, it would make matters worse and might even jeopardise the future of existing companies that were also located in depressed areas.
The United Kingdom Steel Association argued that the investment could not be justified on grounds of insufficient European supply of the type of hollow section to be marketed by AG Turbos Europa SA. In its view, it was questionable whether there was room in the market for new capacities starting at 100000 tonnes, given the limited demand for such a product.
IV. COMMENTS FROM SPAIN
On the possible transfer of aid to the ECSC activities of the group that controls AG Tubos Europa SA, Spain stated that such a possibility did not exist. The new company would be a legally independent subsidiary and it would not buy its input material from other group companies. There was no transfer of losses/profits between the various subsidiaries and Spain would monitor the correct use of the aid.
On the question of excess capacity in the market, Spain took the view that the company was to produce a new product which, by its technical characteristics and uses, was not in competition with the existing Community production of large welded tubes. That product, structural hollow sections, was a relatively new product being used more and more in non-residential construction. In view of the advantages of that type of material over conventional construction materials. Spain foresaw an expansion in demand for the product. The sector therefore did not suffer from any surplus production capacity in Europe, but on the contrary was a growth market. Moreover, the production process differed from that of conventional steel tubes in such a way that, if AG Tubos Europa SA were to switch its production to that type of product, it would have to make quite substantial investments.
V. ASSESSMENT OF THE AID
The key to assessing the compatibility of the aid to AG Tubos Europa SA lies in ascertaining the exact market segment in which the company is to operate. From this, it can then be established whether the new company will, by its production, further increase the current excess production capacity in the large welded steel tubes sector, as feared by the Commission following its preliminary examination and expressed in its decision to initiate formal proceedings.
According to the information submitted by Spain, including technical specifications of the installations to be acquired, AG Tubos Europa SA will produce only structural hollow sections. They will be produced by cold forming and will have a diameter up to 600 mm and above.
Large structural hollow sections, whilst being classified under the heading of "large welded steel tubes" for different purposes, differ from conventional steel tubes in terms of production process and end use and are subject to different European standards. They constitute what may be considered a subsector under the general heading of "steel tubes". The installations for their production cannot be used for the production of tubes without further substantial investment and their destination market is that of non-residential construction, a market not served by normal large welded tubes, which are used mainly for the transport of liquids and gas. Accordingly, large structural hollow sections and conventional large welded steel tubes cannot be classed as substitute products either at production level or at consumption level.
The products of AG Tubos Europa SA will compete with other construction materials such as concrete rather than with other steel tubes. Indeed, this type of product is being used more and more in non-residential construction. Not only is its use in replacing other materials increasing, but construction in Europe is set to continue its positive trend of recent years. It can therefore safely be concluded that there is a new market for large cold welded hollow sections, which is expanding in Europe.
AG Tubos Europa SA will be the first producer of structural hollow sections with a diameter above 406,4 mm. There is therefore no production overcapacity for such products. Indeed, the company will be the first producer of cold formed welded structural hollow sections with a diameter above 200 mm and the first producer of (hot and cold formed) structural hollow sections with a diameter above 406 mm. The current European producers of structural hollow sections only cover the range up to 400 mm and their production process is hot forming, unlike AG Tubos Europa SA, which will produce them by cold forming. Its production in the product range that qualifies as large welded tubes will therefore not affect Community production capacity.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
The Commission therefore concludes that, contrary to its initial view and the comments submitted by third parties, the new company's production of large welded steel tubes (diameter above 406,4 mm) will not further increase the existing excess capacity in the sector. The specific product of AG Tubos Europa SA has a specific market, which is expanding, and the company will be the first producer of such a product in Europe.
As regards the possibility of transfer of the aid to ECSC activities of the group which controls the company, the Commission, in view of the information and assurances provided by Spain (legally independent company, no transfer of losses/profits and monitoring of the correct use of the aid) agrees that in the present case the risk of transfer of the aid is minimal or even non-existent.
What is more, the company will be located in a region classified under Article 92(3)(a) of the Treaty with a regional aid ceiling of 60 %. The aid, with an intensity of only 21 %, is well within this ceiling and the aided investment will bring economic and social benefits to the region, with the direct creation of 60 jobs and the potential impact it will have on the local economy through the development of anciallary activities.
In view of the above, the Commission concludes that the aid proposed by Spain to AG Tubos Europa SA fulfils the conditions of the EC framework for steel and is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92(3)(a) of the Treaty,
The State aid notified by Spain, which is to be granted to AG Tubos Europa SA, amounting to ESP 1175 million, is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92(3)(a) of the Treaty.
Implementation of the aid, to the amount of ESP 1175 million, is accordingly authorised.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Article 3(2)(ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 3(2)(i)(d) and 4(2)(i)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prohibit the production, import and placing on the market of methyl bromide for all uses after 31 December 2004 except, among others (2), for critical uses in accordance with Article 3(2)(ii) and the criteria set out in Decision IX/6 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, together with any other relevant criteria agreed by the Parties. Exemptions for critical uses are intended to be limited derogations to allow a short period of time for the adoption of alternatives.
(2) Decision IX/6 states that methyl bromide should qualify as ‘critical’ only if the applicant determines that the lack of availability of methyl bromide for that specific use would result in a significant market disruption; and that there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes available to the user that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health and are suitable to the crops and circumstances of the nomination. Furthermore, the production and consumption, if any, of methyl bromide for critical uses should be permitted only if all technically and economically feasible steps have been taken to minimise the critical use and any associated emission of methyl bromide. An applicant should also demonstrate that an appropriate effort is being made to evaluate, commercialise and secure national regulatory approval of alternatives and substitutes; and that research programmes are in place to develop and deploy alternatives and substitutes.
(3) The Commission received 79 proposals for critical uses of methyl bromide from nine Member States including Belgium (44 070 kg), France (259 097 kg), Germany (19 450 kg), Ireland (1 250 kg), Italy (1 333 225 kg), Poland (45 900 kg), Portugal (50 000 kg), Spain (986 000 kg), the Netherlands (120 kg) and the United Kingdom (139 285 kg). A total of 2 878 397 kg was requested, comprising 2 690 275 kg (94 %) for pre-harvest uses and 188 140 kg (6 %) for post-harvest uses of methyl bromide. Germany subsequently informed the Commission that it had withdrawn all of its proposals as alternatives were now available.
(4) The Commission applied the criteria contained within Decision IX/6 and Article 3(2)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 in order to determine the amount of methyl bromide that is eligible to be licensed for critical uses in 2006. The Commission found that adequate alternatives were available in the Community and had become more prevalent in many Parties to the Montreal Protocol in the period since the critical use proposals were compiled by Member States. As a result, the Commission determined that 1 607 587 kg of methyl bromide can be used in 2006 to satisfy critical uses in each of the Member States that had requested the use of methyl bromide. This amount equates to 8,4 % of 1991 consumption of methyl bromide in the European Community and indicates that more than 91,6 % of the methyl bromide has been replaced by alternatives. The critical-use categories are similar to those defined in Section IIB in Decision XVI/2 (3) and in Table A of Decision XVII/9 at the 17th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (4).
(5) Article 3(2)(ii) requires the Commission to also determine which users may take advantage of the critical use exemption. As Article 17(2) requires Member States to define the minimum qualification requirements for personnel involved in the application of methyl bromide and, as fumigation is the only use, the Commission determined that methyl bromide fumigators are the only users proposed by the Member State and authorised by the Commission to use methyl bromide for critical uses. Fumigators are qualified to apply it safely, rather than for example farmers or mill owners that are generally not qualified to apply methyl bromide but who own properties on which it will be applied. In addition, Member States have put in place procedures to identify fumigators within their territory that are permitted to use methyl bromide for critical uses.
(6) Decision IX/6 states that production and consumption of methyl bromide for critical uses should be permitted only if methyl bromide is not available from existing stocks of banked or recycled methyl bromide. Article 3(2)(ii) states that production and importation of methyl bromide shall be allowed only if no recycled or reclaimed methyl bromide is available from any of the Parties. In accordance with Decision IX/6 and Article 3(2)(ii), the Commission determined that 50 047 kg of stocks are available for critical uses.
(7) Article 4(2)(ii) states that, subject to Article 4(4), the placing on the market and the use of methyl bromide by undertakings other than producers and importers shall be prohibited after 31 December 2005. Article 4(4) states that Article 4(2) shall not apply to the placing on the market and use of controlled substances if they are used to meet the licensed requests for critical uses of those users identified as laid down in Article 3(2).
(8) Three uses of methyl bromide in this Decision are categorised as ‘biocidal’ uses for which additional restrictions apply. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 (5) records methyl bromide as a biocidal substance that cannot be placed on the market after 1 September 2006. The Commission may authorise a Member State to use methyl bromide after this date provided the Member State demonstrates compliance with the criteria for an ‘essential use’ under Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003. The quantities of methyl bromide for biocidal uses for which an ‘essential use’ authorisation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 is required for any uses after 1 September 2006 are shown in Annexes I, IV and VIII of this Decision.
(9) As critical uses of methyl bromide apply from 1 January 2006, and for the purpose of ensuring that interested companies and operators may benefit from the licensing system, it is appropriate that this present decision shall apply from that date.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,
The Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Poland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shall be permitted to use a total of 1 607 587 kg of methyl bromide for critical uses from 1 January to 31 December 2006 for the specific quantities and categories of use described in Annexes I to VIII.
The Kingdom of Belgium, the Italian Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shall not be permitted to use methyl bromide for biocidal uses from 1 September to 31 December 2006 unless an ‘essential use’ authorisation for the specific uses shown in Annexes I, IV and VIII is granted to the relevant Member State following the procedures described in Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003.
Stocks declared available for critical uses by the competent authority of each Member State shall be deducted from the amount that can be imported or produced to satisfy critical uses in that Member State.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2006 and shall expire on 31 December 2006.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to Council Decision 93/350/Euratom, ECSC, EEC of 8 June 1993 amending Decision 88/591/ECSC, EEC, Euratom establishing a Court of First Instance of the European Communities (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, under Decision 88/591/ECSC, EEC, Euratom (2), as thus amended, the Court of First Instance has jurisdiction to hear and determine virtually all the actions brought by natural or legal persons;
Whereas, however, with regard to trade protection measures taken under the Treaties establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Community in the case of dumping and subsidies, the entry into force of Decision 93/350/Euratom, ECSC, EEC was deferred;
Whereas, in the light of developments since then, the date of the entry into force of this part of the abovementioned Decision needs to be determined,
The second part of the first sentence of Article 3 of Decision 93/350/Euratom, ECSC, EEC shall be replaced by the following:
‘however, in respect of actions brought by natural or legal persons pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 33, Article 35 and the first and second paragraphs of Article 40 of the ECSC Treaty and which concern acts relating to the application of Article 74 of the said Treaty and in respect of actions brought by natural or legal persons pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 173, the third paragraph of Article 175 and Article 178 of the EC Treaty and relating to measures to protect trade within the meaning of Article 113 of that Treaty in the case of dumping and subsidies, its entry into force shall be fixed at 15 March 1994.’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 1953/2006
of 21 December 2006
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 December 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 25 February 2011
on the arrangements for the renegotiation of the Monetary Agreement between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco
(2011/190/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 219(3) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank,
Whereas:
(1) The Union has the competence for monetary and exchange rate matters as of the date of the introduction of the euro.
(2) The Council is to determine the arrangements for the negotiation and conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matter.
(3) On 26 December 2001 the Monetary Agreement between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco (1) (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) was concluded.
(4) France has long standing monetary links with the Principality of Monaco (hereinafter ‘Monaco’), which are reflected in various legal instruments. The financial institutions located in Monaco have the right to access the refinancing facilities of the Banque de France and they participate in some French payment systems under the same conditions as French banks.
(5) In its conclusion of 10 February 2009 the Council invited the Commission to review the functioning of the existing Monetary Agreements and to consider possible increases in the ceilings for coin issuance.
(6) The Commission concluded in the Communication on the functioning of the Monetary Agreements with Monaco, San Marino and Vatican that the Agreement in its present form needs to be amended with a view to ensuring a more consistent approach in the relations between the Union and the countries having signed a monetary agreement.
(7) The Agreement should therefore be renegotiated with a view to adjusting the ceiling for the issuance of coins, electing a jurisdiction for possible dispute settlement, and adjusting the format of the Agreement in order to be brought closer to the new common model for monetary agreements. The Agreement should remain in force until a renegotiated agreement is concluded between the parties,
France shall notify Monaco of the need to amend the Agreement at the earliest possible date and offer renegotiation on the relevant provisions of the Agreement.
The Union shall seek the following changes in the renegotiation of the Agreement:
(a) The renegotiated Agreement shall be concluded between the Union, represented by the Government of the French Republic and the Commission, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco.
(b) The method for determining the ceiling of issuance of Monegasque euro coins shall be revised. The new ceiling shall be calculated using a method which will combine a fixed part aimed at avoiding excessive numismatic speculation on Monegasque coins by satisfying the demand of the collector coin market and a variable part, calculated as the average per capita coin issuance of France in the year n-1 multiplied by the number of inhabitants of Monaco. Without prejudice to the issuance of collector coins, the renegotiated Agreement shall set the minimum proportion of Monegasque euro coins to be put into circulation at face value at 80 % of the euro coins issued every year.
(c) The Court of Justice of the European Union (‘Court of Justice’) shall be elected as the body in charge of settling disputes which may arise from the application of the Agreement. If the Union or Monaco consider that the other Party has not fulfilled an obligation under the renegotiated Agreement, it may bring the matter before the Court of Justice. The judgment of the Court of Justice shall be binding on the Parties, which will take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment within a period to be decided by the Court of Justice in its judgment. In case the Union or Monaco fail to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment within the period, the other Party can terminate immediately the renegotiated Agreement.
(d) The format of the renegotiated Agreement shall be adjusted.
The negotiations with Monaco shall be conducted by France and the Commission on behalf of the Union. The European Central Bank (ECB) shall be fully associated with the negotiations and its agreement shall be required on issues falling within its field of competence. France and the Commission shall submit the draft renegotiated Agreement to the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) for opinion.
France and the Commission shall be entitled to conclude the renegotiated Agreement on behalf of the Union, unless the EFC or the ECB is of the opinion that the renegotiated Agreement should be submitted to the Council.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic, the Commission and the European Central Bank.

opening a standing invitation to tender for the export of common wheat held by the Lithuanian intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (3) lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention.
(3) Given the current market situation, a standing invitation to tender should be opened for the export of 65 000 tonnes of common wheat held by the Lithuanian intervention agency.
(4) Special rules must be laid down to ensure that the operations are properly carried out and monitored. To that end, securities should be lodged to ensure that the goals of the operation are achieved without excessive cost to the operators. Derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
(5) To forestall reimportation, refunds should be awarded only for exportation to certain third countries.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
As provided for in this Regulation, the Lithuanian intervention agency shall issue a standing invitation to tender in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 for the export of common wheat held by it.
1. The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 65 000 tonnes of common wheat for export to third countries with the exception of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro (4) and Switzerland.
2. The quantity of common wheat referred to in paragraph 1 is stored in the regions mentioned in Annex I.
1. No export refund or tax or monthly increase shall be granted on exports carried out under this Regulation.
2. Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 shall not apply.

1. Export licences shall be valid from their date of issue within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 until the end of the fourth month thereafter.
2. Tenders submitted in response to this invitation to tender may not be accompanied by export licence applications submitted under Article 49 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5).
1. Notwithstanding Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the time limit for the submission of tenders under the first partial invitation to tender shall be 9.00 (Brussels time) on 28 April 2005.
The time limit for submitting tenders under subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be 9.00 (Brussels time) each Thursday thereafter, with the exception of 5 May 2005.
The last partial invitation to tender shall expire at 9.00 (Brussels time) on 23 June 2005.

The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer's request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 75 kg/hl,
— one percentage point as regards moisture content,
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to in points B.2 and B.4 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (6), and

Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of the Council of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 763/89 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 17 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (4), determines the amounts of the securities for import and export licences; whereas those amounts have proved to be insufficient to prevent speculative applications for licences; whereas they should accordingly be increased in order to limit applications not covered by contracts of purchase or sale;
Whereas Article 15 (1) of and Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 provide in addition for relatively lengthy maximum terms of validity for export licenceswith advance fixing of the refund on the basis of an invitation to tender in order to promote exports; whereas the market situation and the quantities of milk products available, in particular butter and skimmed-milk powder, have changed since the introduction of the additional levy arrangements; whereas the maximum term of validity of licences for such products should therefore be reduced in order to monitor the development of exports over shorter periods;
Whereas the period of 90 days provided for in Article 15 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 notwithstanding Article 44 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5) has proved to be particularly lengthy in view of the current situation on the market for milk and milk products; whereas that period should accordingly be reduced to 60 days;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
1. The amount of the security for import and export licences shall be, per 100 kilograms net of the product:

of 22 July 1987
fixing for the 1987/88 marketing year the minimum price to be paid to producers for unprocessed sultanas and currants and the amount of production aid for sultanas and currants
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1928/87 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (4) and 5 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1277/84 of 8 May 1984 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3) contains provisions as to the methods for determining the production aid;
Whereas, under Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis, first, of the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year; secondly, of the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetables sector; and thirdly, of the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, if necessary, the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis; whereas in respect of dried grapes a minimum import price is applicable pursuant to Article 9 of the same Regulation; whereas the non-member country price must be replaced by this price;
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides that the minimum price to be paid to producers for unprocessed sultanas and currants shall be increased each month during a certain period of the marketing year by an amount corresponding to storage costs; whereas, in fixing this amount, the technical storage costs and interest cost should be taken into consideration;
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 461/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, rules on the production aid system in respect of processed fruit and vegetables (4) provides that in cases where no minimum price for the raw material is established before the first move towards alignment of prices, the finished product obtained from such raw material shall not benefit from any production aid; whereas as a consequence thereof no production aid shall be paid during the transitional period for processed sultanas and currants obtained from unprocessed dried grapes from Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the marketing year 1987/88:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for unprocessed dried sultanas of category 4;
and
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the same Regulation for processed dried sultanas of category 4;
shall be as set out in the Annex.
For the marketing year 1987/88, the amount by which the minimum price for unprocessed dried grapes is to be increased on the first of each month for the period 1 November to 1 August is hereby fixed at 1,566 ECU per 100 kilograms net of sultanas of category 4.
For other categories of sultanas and for currants the amount shall be multplied by the coefficient applicable to the minimum price listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2347/84 (5).
No production aid shall be granted for processed sultanas and currants obtained from sultanas and currants grown in Spain or Portugal.
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.

3.9.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 231/8
DIRECTIVE 2009/78/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 13 July 2009
on stands for two-wheel motor vehicles
(codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 93/31/EEC of 14 June 1993 on stands for two-wheel motor vehicles (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Directive 93/31/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided for in Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles as replaced by Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (5) and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of two-wheel motor vehicles as regards their stands. These technical prescriptions concern the approximation of the laws of the Member States to allow for the EC type-approval procedure provided for in Directive 2002/24/EC to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle. Consequently the provisions laid down in Directive 2002/24/EC relating to vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive.
(3) Since the objective of this Directive, namely the granting of EC component type-approval in respect of the stand for a type of two-wheel motor vehicle, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(4) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,
This Directive shall apply to stands for all types of two-wheel motor vehicles as referred to in Article 1 of Directive 2002/24/EC.
The procedure for the granting of EC component type-approval in respect of the stand for a type of two-wheel motor vehicle and the conditions governing the free movement of such vehicles shall be as laid down in Chapters II and III of Directive 2002/24/EC.
The amendments necessary to adapt to technical progress the requirements of Annex I shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2) of Directive 2002/24/EC.
1. Member States may not, on grounds relating to stands:
— refuse to grant EC type-approval for a type of two-wheel motor vehicle, or,
— prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of two-wheel motor vehicles,
if the stands of those vehicles comply with the requirements of this Directive.
2. Member States shall refuse to grant EC type-approval for any new type of two-wheel motor vehicle on grounds relating to stands if the requirements of this Directive are not fulfilled.
3. 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.
Directive 93/31/EEC, as amended by the Directive listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 185/2002
of 31 January 2002
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 34,867/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

84/418/EEC: Commission Decision of 27 June 1984 on a proposed aid by the Netherlands Government in respect of certain investments to be carried out by an oil company at its refinery in the area of Rotterdam-Europoort (Only the Dutch text is authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 June 1984
on a proposed aid by the Netherlands Government in respect of certain investments to be carried out by an oil company at its refinery in the area of Rotterdam-Europoort
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(84/418/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments,
Whereas:
I
Article 6 of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978 on the promotion and guidance of investment (Wet Investeringsrekening - WIR) (1) introduced an 'additional premium for major schemes' for the benefit of projects where investment exceeds Fl 30 million. The amount of the premium depends on the number of jobs created and may account for up to 4 % of the investment in question.
When examining the Netherlands Law at the draft stage, in the course of the procedure under Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission pointed out that since the 'additional premium for major schemes' involved no sectoral or regional objectives it therefore constituted a general aid system, and that since the arrangements applied to all investment, without distinction by reference to given undertakings, regions or sectors, they could not qualify under the exceptions laid down in Article 92 (3) (a) or (c). In the absence of such specification, the Commission could not assess the system's effects on trade between Member States and on competition and therefore assess its compatibility with the common market.
In respect of such general aid systems it is now the well-established policy of the Commission to accept them subject to one of two conditions, namely, that the Member State concerned notifies the Commission either of a plan for regional or sectoral application or alternatively, where this is felt not to be possible, of significant individual cases of application.
In line with this approach, and in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission requested prior notification in good time of individual cases of application of the 'additional premium for major schemes', account being taken of the amount of investment concerned.
During discussions with the Netherlands authorities the Commission stated that it would assess each case on its own merits in the light of the rules contained in Article 92 et seq., or rules developed during administration of those provisions. The Netherlands Government could not infer that, by requesting regular prior notification the Commission had taken a favourable view of the additional premium system.
The Netherlands Government complied with the Commission's request by including the prior notification of procedure in Articles 6 (7) and 7 (3) of Chapter V of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978.
II
In accordance with this procedure the Netherlands Government informed the Commission, by telex dated 24 August 1983, of its intention to apply the aid provided for under the abovementioned aid scheme in favour of investments to be carried out at a refinery in the area of Rotterdam-Europoort.
The investment plan foresees the installation of a 'catalytic cracker'. This installation is designed to transform heavy oil into lighter products. The new installation will not increase the refinery's overall capacity but partially change the output from heavy products to lighter ones.
The total investment costs are estimated at Fl 1 010 million. The GPT premium proposed is Fl 3 780 000. Realization of the project would result in the creation of approximately 137 jobs.
III
In a series of communications to the Council in recent years, the Commission has drawn attention to the difficulties facing the oil refining industry in the Community as a result of the oil crisis. Briefly described, the difficulties are as follows: the total demand for refined products both of heavy products (heavy fuel oil, etc.) and of light fractions (petrol, etc.) has declined, but the demand for heavy products has declined more than that for light fractions. At the same time as reducing capacity, the industry has consequently had to invest in plants to raise the relative yield of lighter products. However, the price differential between light distillates and residual fuel oil has, in recent years, generally provided sufficient incentive to companies to carry out the necessary investments.
During recent years, several aid proposals have been notified to the Commission for the same and related purposes. On the grounds that these aids were incompatible with the common market, particularly in view of the situation in the refinery sector, these proposals were subject to negative decisions (1).
The aid initially proposed by the Netherlands Government is likely to affect trade between Member States and distort or threaten to distort competition by favouring the undertaking in question or the production of its goods within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.
On 6 October 1983, the Commission initiated the procedure under Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the Netherlands' proposal.
IV
In their reply to the observations of the Commission when opening the Article 93 (2) procedure, the Netherlands authorities did not challenge the Commission's analysis that, in view of the situation in the refinery sector, the Commission's decisions in similar cases in the past, and the financial capacity of the company concerned, meant that there was no counterpart in Community terms of the proposed aid which would allow the Commission to make a finding of compatibility under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
However, the Netherlands authorities pointed out that as a result of the construction of the catalytic cracker, other investments would be undertaken at the refinery in question in its existing installations which would lead to improved standards of environmental control, particularly in the field of water pollution caused by the existing refinery installations. The cost of this investment was estimated at Fl 11 300 000. The Netherlands authorities proposed, therefore, the grant of a GPT premium of Fl 1 700 000 towards these investment costs, justifying the intensity of the aid, 15 %, as being the level normally permitted for aids for environmental purposes in line with the Community framework on such aids.
The Commission considers that this proposal does not meet the basic legal and economic conditions attaching is to GPT grants, i.e. the size of the aided investment falls below the Fl 30 million threshold, it is not associated with job creation, and the intensity of aid, 15 % as against 4 % under the GPT system, means that the proposal cannot be considered to be in line with the Commission decision of 21 April 1978 on the GPT/WIR. The Netherlands Government has not produced any evidence that these environmental investments are necessary as a result of the imposition of new norms in the Netherlands which imposes new obligations upon undertakings which would be required if they were to benefit from the policy in the framework of aids for the environment. The project appears to be motivated by a desire to pass at least some GPT grant to the undertaking in question. Its effect is to strengthen the financial position of the undertaking without providing any discernible Community counterpart.
Furthermore, the Commission cannot accept that because it has raised initial objections to an aid proposal, a radically new and different proposal with different objectives and legally and economically incompatible with the basis of the original proposal should be considered without the original proposal having been formally withdrawn or the subject of a negative decision by the Commission. Had the original proposal been withdrawn or subject to a negative decision, an aid proposal based legally and economically on environmental considerations could then have been considered on those bases.
In the framework of the procedure, the Commission has received comments from the Belgian, Danish and French Governments, all expressing the view that the initially proposed aid should not be granted.
V
The terms of the Treaty provide that aid fulfilling the criteria set out in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty shall be incompatible with the common market. The exemptions from this incompatibility set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives to be pursued in the Community interest and not that of the individual beneficiary. These exemptions must be strictly
construed in the examination both of regional or sectoral aid schemes and of individual cases of application of general aid systems. In particular, they may be granted only when the Commission can establish that this will contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions, which the recipient firms would not attain by their own actions under normal market conditions alone.
To grant an exemption where there is no compensatory justification would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any benefit in terms of the interest of the Community, which at the same time accepting that undue advantages accrue to some Member States.
When applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases of application of general aid systems, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the particular beneficiary a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3). Where such evidence cannot be provided and especially where the aided investment would take place in the absence of aid, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions but serves to increase the financial power of the undertaking in question.
In the case in question, there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the undertaking benefiting from the aid.
The Netherlands Government has not been able to provide, nor has the Commission found, any evidence which established that the proposed aid meets the conditions justifying one of the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
As regards the exemptions set out in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) in respect of aids designed to promote or facilitate the development of certain areas, it is the case that the Rotterdam-Europoort area continues to enjoy a better socioeconomic situation than that of other regions in the Netherlands; so, therefore, there is no reason to grant the aid in question on the grounds that it will promote or facilitate the development of that area, a purpose, moreover, for which this aid was not intended.
As regards the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (b), since the market for the production of light distillates does not show the over-capacity characteristics of the rest of the refining sector, this investment would be brought about in any event by normal market forces. There is nothing peculiar to the investment in question to qualify it as a project of common European interest or as one designed to remedy as a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, which merits exemption under Article 92 (3) (b) from the provision laid down in Article 92 (1) on the incompatibility of aids. Finally, as regards the exemption specified in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty in favour of 'aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities', examination of the refinery investment it is proposed to aid shows that the investment can be carried out by the firm using its own resources. In the light of this fact and the general state of the refining industry for light products, it is clear that the aid is not necessary to promote the development of the economic activity in question.
In view of the above, the aid proposal of the Netherlands Government does not meet the conditions necessary to qualify for any of the exemptions set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty,
The Netherlands shall not put into effect its proposal, notified to the Commission on 24 August 1983, to grant aid in respect of certain investments to be carried out in a refinery in the Rotterdam-Europoort area under the GPT regulations of the 'WIR' system.
The Netherlands shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measure it has taken to comply therewith.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) The International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda have since 1995 been investigating, prosecuting and bringing to justice violations of laws and customs of war, genocide and crimes against humanity.
(2) The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998 affirms that the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, in particular genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, must not go unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at national level and by enhancing international cooperation.
(3) The Rome Statute recalls that it is the duty of every State to exercise its criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for such international crimes.
(4) The Rome Statute emphasises that the International Criminal Court established under it is to be complementary to national criminal jurisdictions.
(5) All Member States of the European Union have either signed or ratified the Rome Statute.
(6) The investigation and prosecution of, and exchange of information on, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes is to remain the responsibility of national authorities, except as affected by international law.
(7) Member States are being confronted with persons who were involved in such crimes and are seeking refuge within the European Union's frontiers.
(8) The successful outcome of effective investigation and prosecution of such crimes at national level depends to a high degree on close cooperation between the various authorities involved in combating them.
(9) It is essential that the relevant authorities of the States Parties to the Rome Statute, including the Member States of the European Union, cooperate closely in this connection.
(10) Close cooperation will be enhanced if the Member States make provision for direct communication between centralised, specialised contact points.
(11) Close cooperation between such contact points may provide a more complete overview of persons involved in such crimes, including the question of in which Member States they are the subject of investigation.
(12) The Member States, in Council Common Position 2001/443/CFSP of 11 June 2001 on the International Criminal Court(2), have expressed that the crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court are of concern for all Member States, which are determined to cooperate for the prevention of those crimes and for putting an end to the impunity of the perpetrators thereof.
(13) This Decision does not affect any convention, agreement or arrangement regarding mutual assistance in criminal matters between judicial authorities,
Designation and notification of contact points
1. Each Member State shall designate a contact point for the exchange of information concerning the investigation of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes such as those defined in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998.
2. Each Member State shall notify the General Secretariat of the Council in writing of its contact point within the meaning of this Decision. The General Secretariat shall ensure that this notification is passed on to the Member States, and inform the Member States of any changes in these notifications.
Collection and exchange of information
1. Each contact point's task shall be to provide on request, in accordance with the relevant arrangements between Member States and applicable national law, any available information that may be relevant in the context of investigations into genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes as referred to in Article 1(1), or to facilitate cooperation with the competent national authorities.
2. Within the limits of the applicable national law, contact points may exchange information without a request to that effect.
Informing the European Parliament

(6) The Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia under IPA (hereinafter referred to as ‘IPARD Programme’), approved by Commission Decision C(2008) 677 of 25 February 2008, in accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006, and Article 184 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 included a plan for the annual Community contributions as well as the financing agreement.

(15) The Agency for Financial Support in Agriculture and Rural Development, acting as the IPARD Agency, and the Managing Authority, acting as the Managing Authority, will be responsible for implementing the three measures accredited by the National Authorising Officer out of four from the IPARD Programme: 101 ‘Investments in agriculture holdings to restructure and to upgrade to Community standards’, 103 ‘Investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products to restructure these activities and to upgrade them to Community standards’ and 302 ‘Diversification and development of rural economic activities’ as defined in the Programme.
(16) On 22 October 2008 and on 24 February 2009 the National Authorities submitted to the Commission the list of eligible expenditure in conformity with Article 32(3) of the Sectoral Agreement. The Commission approved this list on 17 April 2009.
(17) In order to take into account the requirements of Article 19(1) of the Framework Agreement the expenditure pursuant to this Decision shall be eligible for Community co-finance only if not paid earlier than the date of conferral decision, with the exception of general costs referred to in Article 172(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007. Expenditure shall be eligible if it is in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and, in particular, of economy and cost-effectiveness.
(18) Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 provides that the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 may be waived on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of effective functioning of the management and control system concerned and provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of the said analysis.
(19) Pursuant to Articles 14 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007, the accreditations referred to in Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 have been reviewed; and the procedures and structures of the bodies and authorities concerned, as set out in the application submitted by the National Authorising Officer, have been examined, including by on-the-spot verifications.
(20) Nonetheless the verifications carried out by the Commission for measure 101 ‘Investments in agriculture holdings to restructure and to upgrade to Community standards’, measure 103 ‘Investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products to restructure these activities and to upgrade them to Community standards’ and measure 302 ‘Diversification and development of rural economic activities’ are based on a system that is operational, but not yet operating, with regard to all relevant elements.
(21) Although the Audit Authority is not itself part of this Decision, its level of readiness to operate as a functionally independent audit body by the time of submission to the Commission of the accreditation package for the conferral of management has been evaluated by on-the-spot verifications.
(22) The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s compliance with the requirements of Article 56(2) of the Financial Regulation and Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 has been assessed by on-the-spot verifications.
(23) The assessment has shown that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia complies with the requirements for measures 101, 103 and 302.
(24) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex ante approval requirements referred to in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 and Article 165 of the Financial Regulation and to confer on the National Authorising Officer, on the National Fund, on the IPARD Agency and on the Managing Authority, the management powers relating to the measures 101, 103 and 302 of the Programme for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on a decentralised basis,

This Decision shall apply on the basis of the following structures, bodies and authorities designated by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for the management of measures 101, 103 and 302 of the Programme provided for under IPA — Component V:
(a) the National Authorising Officer;
(b) the National Fund;
(c) the Operating Structure for IPA — Component V:

1. The management powers are conferred on the structures, bodies and authorities as specified in Article 2 of this Decision.

The national authorities shall carry out further verifications with regard to the structures, bodies and authorities set out in Article 2 of this Decision, in order to ensure that the management and control system operates satisfactorily. Verifications shall be carried out before the submission of the first Declaration of Expenditure requesting the reimbursement related to measures stated in Article 1(2) above.
1. Expenditure paid earlier than the date of this Decision shall in no case be eligible with the exception of general costs referred to in Article 172(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 718/2007.
2. Expenditure shall be eligible if it is in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and, in particular, of economy and cost-effectiveness.
Without prejudice to any decisions granting aid under the IPARD Programme to individual beneficiaries, the rules for eligibility of expenditure proposed by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia by letter No 08-44/82 of 22 October 2008 and letter No 08-77/16 of 24 February 2009, registered in the Commission respectively on 21 November 2008 under No A/31025 and on 24 March 2009 under No A/7937, shall apply.

2. At any time during the implementation of this Decision, should the Commission consider that the obligations of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia under this Decision are no longer met, the Commission may decide to withdraw or suspend the conferral of management powers.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4003/89
of 21 December 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power-station
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 (1) fixed, for agricultural products originating in third countries and intended for human consumption, maximum permitted levels of radioactivity with which imports of the products concerned must comply and in connection with which checks are carried out by the Member States; whereas the said Regulation is to apply only until 30 December 1989;
Whereas the reasons prevailing when the said Regulation was adopted are still valid, particularly because radioactive contamination in certain agricultural products originating in the third countries worst affected by the accident still exceeds the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down in the abovementioned Regulation;
Whereas the Commission consulted the group of experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty, which favoured extending the period of validity of the said Regulation;
Whereas it is advisable to extend Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 currently in force for a period of three months in order to avoid trade disturbances which might still exist in the absence of common provisions,
Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 7
This Regulation shall expire on 31 March 1990.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 December 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 5 February 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Tracor digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8, with accessories' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/141/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 20 July 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Tracor digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8, with accessories', to be used for mass-spectrometric quantification of total-hydrolyzates of biological systems and isotope analysis of natural materials in the trace range and also for mass-fragmentography of content materials, occuring in traces, of biological systems, should be considered as 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 15 December 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 analyzer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Tracor digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany, of 20 July 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(notified under document number C(2005) 4134)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/755/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 12(12), and 13(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 97/78/EC lays down requirements for veterinary checks on consignments of certain products of animal origin coming from a third country and provides, inter alia, for the storage in customs warehouses, free zones, free warehouses or premises of operators supplying cross-border means of sea transport for products which do not comply with Community animal health import conditions.
(2) Council Directive 2002/99/EC provides that Member States are to take measures to ensure that from 1 January 2005 products of animal origin, intended for human consumption, are introduced from third countries only if they comply with the rules laid down in that Directive.
(3) Commission Decision 2005/92/EC of 2 February 2005 as regards animal health conditions, certification and transitional provisions concerning the introduction and storage period for consignments of certain products of animal origin in free zones, free warehouses and premises of operators supplying cross border means of sea transport in the Community (3) and Commission Decision 2005/93/EC of 2 February 2005 as regards transitional provisions concerning the introduction and the storage period for consignments of certain products of animal origin in customs warehouses in the Community (4) provide for the continued storage during a transitional period until 1 January 2006 of products not complying with Community animal health rules, that were introduced into the Community before 1 January 2005, until the products are sent to their final destination in a third country.
(4) There is a real risk that products not complying with Community animal health conditions now stored in the Community may pose a significant animal health threat to both the Community and to neighbouring third countries, and, could be sent to third countries without the consent of the competent veterinary authority of the third country of destination or transit.
(5) Decisions 2005/92/EC and 2005/93/EC provide that from 1 January 2006 any consignments of products covered by those Decisions remaining in storage, are to be destroyed. In order to safeguard both the Community and neighbouring third countries pending such destruction, tighter controls should be put in place to ensure that consignments, not fully complying with Community animal health rules, despatched from storage in the Community have the express consent of the third country of destination and of any third country of transit.
(6) Decisions 2005/92/EC and 2005/93/EC should therefore be amended to only permit the movements of products covered by those Decisions to a third country of destination or transit through a third country, or to vessels acting as cross border sea transport, with the express written authorisation of the competent authority of those countries, or of a responsible officer on board the vessel.
(7) It is appropriate to provide that the person responsible for the movements of the products concerned obtains and presents the necessary written authorisations to the competent authority of the Member State in which the products are stored, before the competent authority permits the exit of the products to the final destination or for transit to such destination.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/92/EC is amended as follows:
1. the following Article 2a is inserted:
(i) the competent authority of the third country of destination and of any third country of transit; or
(ii) the responsible officer on the vessel being supplied.’;
2. in Article 3, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
Decision 2005/93/EC is amended as follows:
1. the following Article 1a is inserted:
2. in Article 2, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
