Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Comunity trade and imports from third countries of fresh poultrymeat(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/89/EC(2), and in particular Articles 9(1), 11(1), 12, 14(1) and 14a thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(1), to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(4), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

(13) A list of third countries allowed to use the certificates for imports of ratite meat must be established to achieve complete harmonisation of the conditions for import of ratite meat.
(14) This list must be based on the principal list of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of fresh poultry meat as it is drawn up by Commission Decision 94/85/EC(16), as last amended by Decision 96/2/EC(17).
(15) Tunisia has given the necessary guarantees to be included in the list drawn up by Decision 94/85/EC.

|
REGULATION No 470/67/EEC OF THE COMMISSION of 21 August 1967 on the taking over of paddy rice by intervention agencies, and fixing the corrective amounts, price increases and reductions applied by them
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC (1) of 25 July 1967 on the common organisation of the market in rice, and in particular Article 5 (5) thereof;
Whereas Regulation No 359/67/EEC provides that the intervention prices for rice must be fixed for paddy rice of a specific standard quality and that, if the quality of the paddy rice offered for intervention differs from that standard quality, the intervention price must be adjusted by applying corrective amounts and price increases or reductions;
Whereas paddy rice whose quality does not permit sufficient use or storage should not be accepted for intervention ; whereas in fixing the minimum quality particular consideration should be given to climatic conditions in the rice-growing areas of the Community ; whereas, in order to simplify the administration of intervention and in particular to allow uniform lots to be made up, a minimum quantity should be fixed below which the intervention agency is not obliged to accept the offer;
Whereas, for the application of the price increases and reductions, account should be taken of the basic characteristics of the paddy rice allowing objective assessment of the quality ; whereas the moisture content, the yield after processing and the defects of the grain can be assessed by simple and effective methods, thus meeting this requirement;
Whereas, for calculation of the corrective amounts, the differences in value between the other varieties and the variety corresponding to the standard quality should be laid down ; whereas, for calculation of the price increases and reductions, account should be taken of the effect of the above-mentioned characteristics on the processing value of the paddy rice;
Whereas the conditions governing offers to intervention agencies and taking-over by them should be as uniform as possible throughout the Community to avoid discriminating between producers ; whereas it may be advisable for intervention agencies to apply, concurrently with this Regulation, certain measures which are suited to their individual circumstances and in particular to trade practices;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals;
Any holder of uniform lots of paddy rice of at least 10 metric tons harvested in the Community shall be entitled to offer such rice to the intervention agency. The intervention agencies may however fix a higher minimum tonnage.
1. To be accepted for intervention, paddy rice shall be of sound and fair marketable quality.
2. Paddy rice shall be considered to be of sound and fair marketable quality when it is free of odour and of live pests, and when: (1) OJ No 174, 31.7.1967, p. 1.
- the moisture content does not exceed 16 %;
- the yield after processing is not less than 14 % for round-grained rice, and not less than 10 % for other rice, below the basic yields listed in Annex III to this Regulation;
- the percentage of chalky grains does not exceed 8 % for round-grained rice and 5 % for other rice;
- the percentage of grains striated with red does not exceed 10 % for round-grained rice and 5 % for other rice;
- the percentage of spotted grains does not exceed 4 % for round-grained rice and 3 % for other rice;
- the percentage of stained grains does not exceed 2 % for round-grained rice and 1 % for other rice;
- the percentage of amber grains does not exceed 2 % for round-grained rice and 1 % for other rice;
- the percentage of yellow grains does not exceed 0.25 %.
1. Where the variety of paddy rice offered for intervention differs from the variety adopted as the standard quality, the corrective amount to be applied to the intervention price shall be fixed as shown in Annex I.
2. Where the moisture content of the paddy rice offered for intervention exceeds the content laid down for the standard quality of paddy rice, the price reductions to be applied shall be as shown in Annex II.
3. Where the yield after processing of the paddy rice offered for intervention differs from the yield laid down for the standard quality of paddy rice, the price increases and reductions to be applied shall be as shown in Annex III.
4. Where the defects in the grains of the paddy rice offered for intervention exceed the tolerances for the standard quality of paddy rice, the price reductions to be applied shall be as shown in Annex IV.
5. The above-mentioned price increases and reductions shall be calculated by applying the percentages shown in the Annexes to the intervention price ruling at the beginning of the year at the marketing centre chosen by the seller, after that price has been modified by the corrective amount referred to in paragraph 1.
1. All offers for intervention must be made in writing to an intervention agency.
2. Offers shall be accepted by the intervention agency as quickly as possible and necessary information concerning the conditions under which the goods will be taken over shall be given. Objections to the conditions may be made only within forty-eight hours of receipt of the acceptance.
3. The price to be paid to the seller shall be that fixed in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation No 364/67/EEC (1) for goods delivered unloaded to storage depot and valid for the month of delivery specified when the offer was accepted, account being taken of the corrective amounts, price increases and reductions laid down in Annexes I to IV to this Regulation.
4. Payment shall be made as soon as possible after the taking over.
1. The date of the taking over by the intervention agency shall be agreed between the seller and the intervention agency.
2. The actual taking over shall be effected by the intervention agency in the presence of the seller or his duly authorised agents.
3. If no agreement can be reached concerning the quality and the characteristics of the paddy rice offered, samples taken by both parties shall be analysed by a laboratory approved by the competent authorities. The results of such analysis shall be final.
4. The seller and the intervention agency may be represented by their respective agents.
The intervention agencies shall, where necessary, adopt additional procedures and conditions for (1) OJ No 174, 31.7.1967, p. 30. taking over, compatible with the provisions of this Regulation, to take account of any special conditions prevailing in the Member State to which they relate.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1967.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Articles 23, 30 and 57 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1417/97 (3), prohibits the making of wine from grape varieties classed as table grapes from 1 August 1997; whereas the abolition of this possible alternative use for table grapes is causing serious difficulties on the fresh fruit market in some regions of the Community where large quantities of the product were turned into wine and then distilled; whereas these difficulties are likely to result in a marked increase in withdrawals with no possibility of disposal for the producer organizations concerned; whereas it therefore appears justified to implement a transitional measure under the common organization of the market in fresh produce where the abovementioned difficulties arise;
Whereas provision should be made, for a transitional period, for the Member States to the able to distil table grapes withdrawn from the market; whereas such distillation must be carried out by authorized distilleries providing the guarantees required as regards technical equipment and controls;
Whereas measures should be laid down ensuring effective controls to prevent such grapes withdrawn from the market from being used for winemaking or as a fermented product in the wine sector; whereas such measures relate to the requirement to restrict the movement of grapes withdrawn to distilleries and add an identifier to the grapes to enable them to be identified and prevent their use in the wine sector; whereas provision should also be made for the denaturing of the alcohol obtained from distillation of such grapes and to allow disposal of the alcohol only outside the agricultural and spirit drink sectors;
Whereas Member States are required to ensure equal access to all operators concerned by means of appropriate procedures such as invitations to tender or public auctions; whereas they are also required to prevent any distortion of the wine and alcohol market; whereas they must also ensure that the method by which the alcohol is obtained is controlled;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the 1997/98 marketing year, table grapes withdrawn from the market pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 may be processed into alcohol of a strength of more than 80 % vol by direct distillation of the product under the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
Table grapes withdrawn from the market and intended for processing into alcohol shall be distilled before the end of the 1997/98 marketing year.
1. The table grapes referred to in Article 1 shall be delivered to authorized distilleries. Member States shall communicate to the Commission a list of authorized distilleries.
2. The authorized distilleries shall carry out the distillation into alcohol of table grapes received in accordance with Article 4, under official control.
1. Table grapes withdrawn from the market and intended for distillation may not be moved except to an authorized distillery.
2. An identifier, authorized by national provisions, shall be added to the table grapes withdrawn from the market, to enable them to be identified at any moment and prevent their use in the wine sector.
1. The alcohol obtained from distillation of the table grapes shall be denatured from the moment it is obtained with the markers laid down for that purpose in Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 (4).
2. The alcohol resulting from such distillation shall not be used for food purposes or used in the spirit drink sector.
Alcohol obtained from table grapes withdrawn from the market shall be excluded from the grant of any Community financing.
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary
- to ensure equal access for operators to the measure provided for in this Regulation; to that end, they may use a tendering procedure or public auctions,
- to avoid distortion on the wine and alcohol market.
2. Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the method used for obtaining alcohol from table grapes withdrawn from the market is controlled.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1040/1999 adopting a protective measure applying to imports of garlic originating in China and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2) and in particular Articles 37(2) and 31(2) thereof,

Council Regulation (EEC) No 1356/86 of 28 April 1986 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain prepared or conserved fish falling within subheading 16.04 G II of the Common Customs Tariff
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1356/86
of 28 April 1986
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain prepared or conserved fish falling within subheading 16.04 G II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway was concluded on 14 May 1973; whereas, following the accession of Spain and Portugal to the Community, a supplementary Protocol is to be signed in the near future; whereas, pending the entry into force of this Protocol, Council Regulation (EEC) No 573/86 (1) laid down the trade arrangements for fishery products with Norway;
Whereas the aforesaid Regulation (EEC) No 573/86 provides for the opening, from 1 March 1986, of a Community tariff quota at a reduced rate of duty for certain prepared or conserved fishery products originating in Norway; whereas therefore the tariff quota in question should be opened for the period 1 March to 31 December 1986; whereas, in the absence of a prorata temporis clause, the proposed annual quota volume should be opened for the period under consideration;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all importers and the rate of levy for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is used up; whereas, in the light of the principles outlined above, a Community tariff arrangement based on an allocation between the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to represent as closely as possible the actual development of the market in the said products, the allocation should follow proportionately the requirements of the Member States calculated both from statistics of imports from Norway during a representative reference period and according to the economic outlook for the tariff year in question;
Whereas, during the last two years for which statistics are available, imports, in tonnes, into each of the Member States were as follows:
1.2.3 // // // // // 1983 // 1984 // // // // Benelux // 10 // 0 // Denmark // 31 // 41 // Germany // 27 // 15 // Spain // 0 // 0 // Greece // 0 // 0 // France // 2 087 // 1 690 // Ireland // 0 // 0 // Italy // 0 // 0 // Portugal // 0 // 0 // United Kingdom // 795 // 500 // // // // // 2 950 // 2 246 // // // // // //
Whereas, during the two years under consideration, the products in question were imported only by certain Member States and not at all by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, initial shares should be allocated to the importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quota upon imports into those States of the products concerned being notified; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, taking account of these factors, the initial percentage shares in the quota volume can be set approximately as follows:
Benelux 0,19
Denmark 1,39
Germany 0,81
France 72,69
United Kingdom 24,92
Whereas, to take account of the possible import trends for these products, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between the Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share; whereas, to afford importers some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the tariff quota should be fixed at a high level, which in this case could be 80 % of the amount of the quota;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission and the Commission must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential that such a Member State should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve, in order to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. Until 31 December 1986 the Common Customs Tariff duties on the following product originating in Norway shall be suspended at the level and within the limit of the Community tariff quota shown herewith:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // CCT heading No // Description // Quota volume in tonnes // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // 16.04 // Prepared or preserved fish, including caviar and caviar substitutes: // // // // G. Other: // // // // ex II. Other, excluding smoked saithe // 400 // 10 // // // //
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply duties of 13,3 % and 27,5 % respectively.
3. The Protocol on the definition of the concept of originating products and on methods of administrative cooperation, annexed to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway, shall be applicable.
1. The tariff quota laid down in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment of this quota shall be allocated among certain Member States. The respective shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid until 31 December 1986, shall be as follows, in tonnes:
Benelux 1
Denmark 4
Germany 3
France 232
United Kingdom 80
3. The second instalment of the quota, being 80 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
4. If an importer notifies the imminent import of the products in question into a Member State which does not participate in the initial allocation and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (2), or of that share minus any proportion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up. 4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1986.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1986, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 1 November 1986, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1986, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question imported up to and including 1 November 1986 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it, inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 20 November 1986, inform the Member States of the amount still in reserve, following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that importations may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. The Member State shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as and when the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3733/90 of 13 December 1990 establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in Malta (1991)
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3733/90
of 13 December 1990
establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in Malta (1991)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta (1), as supplemented by the Additional Protocol (2) and by the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement (3), has provided in Article 2 of Annex I for the total abolition of customs duties in respect of the products to which the Agreement applies; whereas, however, exemption from duties in respect of a number of products is subject to ceilings above which
the customs duties applicable to third countries may be re-established; whereas, in the context of the said ceilings, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic will apply custome duties calculated in accordance with the said Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community (4);
Whereas the ceilings to be applied in 1991 should therefore be determined; whereas those ceilings can be applied only if the Community is regularly informed of imports of the said products originating in Malta; whereas imports of those products should therefore be subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must provide for the possibility of the applicable customs duties being re-established as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas
this cooperation has to be particularly close since the
Commission must be able to take appropriate measures
to re-establish customs tariffs if one of the ceilings is reached,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1991 imports into
the Community of the products listed in the Annex and originating in Malta shall be subject to annual ceilings and Community surveillance.
The description of the products referred to in the first subparagraph, the corresponding CN codes and the ceilings are set out in the Annex.
In the framework of these tariff ceilings, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of Spain and Portugal.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate
in accordance with the rules contained in the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products` and methods of administrative cooperation annexed to the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Malta (5).
Goods may be charged against the ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it in the manner defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission of imports charged in accordance with the above procedure at
the intervals and within the time limits specified in
paragraph 4.
3. As soon as the ceilings are reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of
the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission not later than the 15th day of each month stratements of the quantities charged during the preceding month.
The Commission, in close cooperation with the Member States, shall take all appropriate measures for the purposes of applying this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;

Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;

The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in the United Kingdom;
the main priorities are:

The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 91,43 million for the public sector and ECU 25,82 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.

Council Decision
of 19 December 2002
on providing further supplementary-financial assistance to Moldova
(2002/1006/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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) The Commission has consulted the Economic and Financial Committee before submitting the proposal.
(2) Moldova is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and is making substantial efforts to sustain its progress in transition.
(3) Moldova, on the one hand, and the European Community and its Member States on the other hand, have signed a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, which entered into force on 1 July 1998.
(4) The authorities of Moldova have agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a macro-economic programme supported by a three-year poverty reduction and growth facility, approved in December 2000, and have expressed their intention to subsequently continue this programme in the context of a new appropriate Fund Facility.
(5) By Decision 2000/452/EC of 10 July 2000 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Moldova(2), the Council has made available to Moldova macro financial assistance up to EUR 15 million, in the form of a long-term loan.
(6) Moldova's foreign debt situation has become increasingly preoccupying and the country is facing very high debt-to-export and debt-to-central-government-revenue ratios.
(7) The Moldovan authorities have requested financial assistance on a concessional basis from the International Financial Institutions, the Community and other bilateral donors. Over and above the financing from the IMF and the World Bank a substantial residual financing gap remains to be covered to comfort the country's foreign debt sustainability, strengthen the country's reserves position and support the policy objectives attached to the authorities' reform efforts.
(8) The IMF, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development took the initiative in convening, on 20 April 2002, a ministerial meeting on an initiative in favour of the low-income countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), aiming at, inter alia, providing increased financial support on a concessional basis to the poorest countries of the CIS, including Moldova.
(9) Moldova became eligible to highly concessional loans from the World Bank and the IMF, and is facing particularly critical economic, social and political circumstances.
(10) In these circumstances and without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority, the Community macro-financial assistance to Moldova should be made available in the form of a grant, as an appropriate measure to help the beneficiary country at this critical juncture.
(11) This assistance should be managed by the Commission.
(12) 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 Moldova macro financial assistance in the form of a straight grant with a view to ensure a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the country's reserve position.
2. The assistance shall amount to a maximum of EUR 15 million.
3. The assistance will be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with any agreement reached between the IMF and Moldova.
1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the Moldovan authorities, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the financial assistance. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1(3).
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Committee, and in coordination with the IMF, that economic policy in Moldova is in accordance with the objectives of this financial assistance and that its conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The assistance shall be made available to Moldova in at least two instalments. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the first instalment is to be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record of Moldova's macro-economic programme agreed with the IMF in the context of the present Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility or of any successor upper credit tranche arrangement.
2. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the second and any further instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory continuation of Moldova's macroeconomic programme and not before three months after the release of the previous instalment.
3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Moldova.
4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by Moldova, if appropriate.
At least once a year, and before September, the Commission shall address a report to the European Parliament and to the Council which will include an evaluation of the implementation of this Decision.
1. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It will expire three years after the date of its publication.
2. Council Decision 2000/452/EC is hereby repealed.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 425/77 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas the possibility of permanent intervention in beef and veal has led to the build-up of considerable stocks in the Community;
Whereas Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 98/69 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 429/77 (4), provides that the selling prices of fozen beef and veal bought in by the intervention agencies may be fixed in advance ; whereas it is appropriate to make use of this system of selling;
Whereas it is important that the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (5) as regards selling at a price fixed in advance shall be complied with;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 (6) provides that, in the case of products held by an intervention agency and stored outside the territory of the Member State within whose jurisdiction that agency falls, a selling price different from that for products stored on that Member State's territory may be fixed ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1805/77 (7) laid down the method for calculating the selling prices of those products ; whereas, in order to avoid any confusion, it should be made clear that the prices fixed by this Regulation do not apply as they stand to those products;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Frozen beef and veal taken over before 1 April 1979 shall be sold at a price fixed in advance.
2. The intervention agencies shall sell first the products which have been in storage longest.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2003
of 5 June 2003
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar without further processing
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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and the prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white sugar and raw sugar, non-denatured and exported without further processing, are being fixed, account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar, and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavour or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(8) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the re-importation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The refunds to be granted on exports of the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, non-denatured and without further processing, are hereby fixed in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 June 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council 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 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second 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 includes fenamiphos and ethephon.
(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For fenamiphos the rapporteur Member State was the Netherlands and all relevant information was submitted on 27 November 2003. For ethephon the rapporteur Member State was the Netherlands and all relevant information was submitted on 21 April 2004.
(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 13 January 2006 for fenamiphos and on 24 April 2006 for ethephon in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 14 July 2006 in the format of the Commission review reports for fenamiphos and ethephon.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing fenamiphos and ethephon may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) 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.
(6) 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 six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing fenamiphos and ethephon 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 way of 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.
(7) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 January 2008 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 February 2008.
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 fenamiphos and ethephon as active substances by 31 January 2008.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to fenamiphos and ethephon 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 fenamiphos and ethephon 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 July 2007 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 fenamiphos and ethephon respectively. 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 fenamiphos and ethephon as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2011 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing fenamiphos and ethephon as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2011 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 August 2007.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1675/2003
of 22 September 2003
amending Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 imposing, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solution of urea and ammonium nitrate originating in Algeria, Belarus, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), hereinafter referred to as "the basic Regulation", and in particular Article 8 and Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. EXISTING MEASURES
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000(2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as "UAN", originating, inter alia, in Lithuania. The form of the duty set out in that Regulation was a specific duty of EUR 3,98 per tonne for all Lithuanian exporting producers.
B. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(2) In September 2002, a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation was lodged by SC Achema, hereinafter referred to as "the applicant", an exporting producer in Lithuania. The request was limited in scope to the examination of the form of the measure and, in particular, to the examination of the acceptability of an undertaking offered by the applicant.
(3) The request was based on the grounds that the applicant committed itself to a price discipline in respect of UAN within the framework of another anti-dumping proceeding concerning urea and presented evidence that it was ready to provide, also in the framework of the UAN proceeding, an undertaking of a similar nature, which would remove the injurious effects of dumping and could be monitored.
(4) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) and commenced an investigation.
C. PROCEDURE
(5) The Commission officially advised the authorities of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review and gave all parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The European Fertilizer Manufacturers Association, on behalf of the European complainant producers of the original investigation, hereinafter referred to as "the Community industry", requested, within the time limits, to take part in this investigation as an interested party.
(6) The applicant made the Commission a formal offer of price undertaking.
(7) The Commission further sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of examining the acceptance of this undertaking and all the aspects relating to the monitoring of it. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.
(8) The applicant and the Community industry were informed of the facts and considerations of the investigation and were given an opportunity to comment.
D. INVESTIGATION
(9) The applicant exports three kinds of nitrogen fertilisers to the EU: urea, ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as "AN", and UAN. Urea and UAN originating in Lithuania are subject to anti-dumping measures in the form of specific duties, imposed by Regulations (EC) No 1995/2000 and (EC) No 92/2002(4) respectively.
(10) Pursuant to Commission Decision 2002/498/EC(5), an undertaking offered by the applicant concerning imports of urea was accepted. By this undertaking, the applicant accepted, in order to avoid cross-compensation via exports of other fertilisers, to respect a pricing discipline and to report exports to the Community for its other two fertilisers, i.e. the ammonium nitrate and UAN as well. The applicant's exports of UAN were as a result found to be subject to both a minimum import price and an anti-dumping duty (by nature of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000).
(11) The undertaking offered by the applicant in the framework of the current investigation enables its exports of UAN to be subject to a sole minimum import price, hereinafter referred to as "MIP". The MIP is at a level that eliminates the injurious effects of dumping found in the original investigation. The reporting obligations are as strict as for urea, thus allowing an efficient monitoring in conjunction with the undertaking on urea. In addition, a clause on the breach of the relationship of trust between the Commission and the applicant guarantees the efficiency of both undertakings for urea and UAN.
(12) The Community industry opposed the acceptance of an undertaking. It alleged that the actual quantities of UAN exported by the applicant for the period 2002 could not be supplied by its effective production capability. The Commission sought from the applicant, and the latter provided, detailed information concerning production capacity, sales and purchases of the three nitrogen fertilisers, i.e. urea, AN and UAN, for the last three calendar years. All of this information was verified on the spot and no irregularity of the nature alleged by the Community industry was found. Thus, the allegations of the Community industry were considered to be unfounded.
(13) The Community industry further claimed that, in line with the principle of non-discrimination, the applicant should not be given more favourable treatment than other countries found to be dumping, since in the great majority of recent anti-dumping cases concerning nitrogen fertilisers, the Community has consistently argued that for reasons of efficiency and to avoid manipulation and malpractice, specific anti-dumping duties are the most appropriate measures to be applied. Regarding the discriminatory treatment, it should be noted that each undertaking offer has to be examined on its own merits on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of the basic Regulation. Thus, undertaking offers can be accepted only in cases where they have the effect of eliminating the injurious dumping and allow effective monitoring. In this respect, it is noted that the main problem for accepting undertakings from other countries was the risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products. However, in this case this risk is seriously limited, since the applicant has offered and has been respecting MIPs for the other fertilisers that it exports to the Community with which cross-compensation could arguably take place. Regarding efficiency and effective monitoring of undertakings in respect of similar cases, the experience already obtained from two undertakings concerning urea (one from a Bulgarian exporting producer and one from the applicant) and one concerning UAN (from an Algerian exporting producer), which have been in place for certain time, did not indicate that they had been inefficient. In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission, during the on-the-spot visit at the premises of the applicant, verified all the reports submitted by it in the framework of its undertaking for urea and did not find any irregularity, manipulation or malpractice. Therefore, this claim was rejected.
(14) Finally, the Community industry claimed that any price undertaking should stipulate both an ex-works and a cif frontier level in order for all normal costs between ex-works and cif frontier to be accounted for. Regarding this claim, it is noted that the MIP offered by the applicant is based on an ex-works level and that the applicant is obliged to report detailed costs associated with its exports when made at a different level (i.e. cif, fob, etc.). This means that indeed all costs between ex-works and cif level will be accounted for when sales are made at cif level. Therefore, the claim made by the Community industry was rejected.
E. UNDERTAKING
(15) In view of the foregoing, the offer of an undertaking was accepted by the Commission in Decision 2003/671/EC(6).
(16) In order to ensure the effective respect and monitoring of the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty should be conditional on presentation of a commercial invoice containing the information listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 617/2000(7), which is necessary for customs to ascertain that shipments correspond to the commercial documents at the required level of detail. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product concerned presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty should instead be payable.
(17) It should be noted that in the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or a suspected breach, an anti-dumping duty may be imposed, pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of the basic Regulation.
(18) In view of the acceptance of the undertaking offer, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 accordingly.
F. MODIFICATION OF NAME AND ADDRESS
(19) In the course of this investigation, the applicant informed the Commission that it had changed its name and address. The name change was due to the fact that the previous company form of the applicant, i.e. Joint Stock Company, no longer exists in Lithuania. The new name of the applicant is Stock Company Achema. The change of its address was due to the change in the Lithuanian postal system.
(20) The Commission has examined this information, which demonstrated that all the applicant's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of fertilisers (AN, UAN and urea) are unaffected by these changes,
Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1(2), the row concerning Lithuania shall be replaced by the following:
">TABLE>"
2. Article 2(1), shall be replaced by the following:
"1. Imports declared for release into free circulation under the following TARIC additional codes which are produced and directly exported (i.e. shipped and invoiced) by a company named below to a company in the Community acting as an importer shall be exempt from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1 provided that such imports are imported in conformity with paragraph 2 of this Article.
>TABLE>"
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the enzyme preparation 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) as a feed additive for sows, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) has been authorised for weaned piglets, pigs for fattening, poultry for fattening and poultry for laying by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1088/2009 (2).
(5) New data were submitted to support the application. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 25 May 2010 (3) that 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594), under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the digestibility of phosphorus. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

reducing the Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers, peaches and nectarines for the 2000/01 marketing year as a result of overruns of the intervention thresholds fixed for the 1999/2000 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999(3) fixes the intervention thresholds for the 1999/2000 marketing year at 112300 tonnes for cauliflowers, 254700 tonnes for peaches and 83700 tonnes for nectarines. Under Article 3 of that Regulation, if the quantity of cauliflowers, peaches or nectarines withdrawn in the period between 1 March 1999 and 28 February 2000 exceeds the threshold fixed, the Community withdrawal compensation laid down in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 2000/01 marketing year is to be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
(2) The information supplied by the Member States indicates that 170502 tonnes of cauliflowers, 314722 tonnes of peaches and 214443 tonnes of nectarines were withdrawn in the 1999/2000 marketing year.
(3) Consequently, the Community withdrawal compensation set by Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 2000/01 marketing year must be reduced by 2,59 % for cauliflowers, 2,36 % for peaches and 15,62 % for nectarines.
(4) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999 lays down that the consequences of an overrun of the threshold are to apply in the following marketing year. The reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers, peaches and nectarines should therefore apply in the 2000/01 marketing year.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The Community withdrawal compensation for the 2000/01 marketing year shall be:
- EUR 7,73 per 100 kilograms net for cauliflowers,
- EUR 12,16 per 100 kilograms net for peaches,
- EUR 12,47 per 100 kilograms net for nectarines.
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.

(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2011.

DECISION No 283/1999/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 January 1999 establishing a general framework for Community activities in favour of consumers
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 129a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (3),
(1) Whereas Community action contributes to achieving a high level of consumer protection and thus also contributes to promoting economic and social cohesion in the Community and to strengthening consumer confidence, which is essential for the smooth functioning of the internal market;
(2) Whereas these objectives cannot be achieved effectively without the cooperation and participation of all the institutions and parties concerned;
(3) Whereas the Community is committed in particular to giving new impetus to its action in favour of consumers and their health in order to enable them to become a driving and innovatory force;
(4) Whereas the statement of the European Council meeting in Luxembourg on 12 and 13 December 1997 on food safety recognises that everything must be done to restore public confidence, severely shaken by the BSE crisis; whereas activities to be undertaken within a general framework are essential for achieving this aim;
(5) Whereas the Community needs to plan the actions required by grouping them together in a general framework that identifies the activities and areas of activity which must be tackled as a matter of priority in order to achieve maximum effectiveness throughout the period covered;
(6) Whereas this general framework aims in particular to bring together the initiatives carried out for the benefit of consumers in order to optimise their effects for consumers;
(7) Whereas this general framework must provide both for initiatives taken by the Community, in compliance with the principle of subsidiarity, and for actions to support organisations and bodies which work to defend consumer interests at Community or national level;
(8) Whereas the initiatives undertaken by the Community and the actions to support other private or public initiatives complement one another and should form part of an integrated approach; whereas it is necessary to strengthen the bodies and organisations that are active in the area of consumer protection so that they can be a more effective driving force for making consumers aware of the priorities set by the Community;
(9) Whereas the other policies of the Community are also responsible and accountable for the integration of consumer interests and should also contribute in financial terms to the implementation of policy in the field of consumer protection;
(10) Whereas the implementation of this general framework should make it possible to take better account of the interests of consumers in the other relevant policies of the Community, and should ensure the development of consumer participation in the standardisation process;
(11) Whereas a harmonised approach to matters related to the protection of consumers and their health is indispensable and whereas this general framework is to provide the necessary financial support to ensure the provision of high-quality independent scientific advice, globally recognised risk-assessment methods and effective control and inspection methods; whereas the Community also has at its disposal the expertise of the Joint Research Centre;
(12) Whereas this general framework is open to the participation of the associated countries of central and eastern Europe in accordance with the relevant European Agreements or their Additional Protocols, and also to Cyprus in accordance with procedures to be agreed, as well as to the EFTA/EEA countries on the basis of additional appropriations in accordance with the rules set out in the Agreement on the European Economic Area;
(13) Whereas action under this general framework should also contribute to promoting the interests of consumers at international level;
(14) Whereas it is necessary to evaluate past achievements and draw up a policy priority programme to implement this general framework in order to help achieve maximum effectiveness throughout the period covered; whereas an action plan should be included;
(15) Whereas it is necessary to ensure that the interests of consumers are represented at Community level and to provide significant support to European organisations and bodies which represent the interests of consumers effectively and actively;
(16) Whereas it is necessary, at the same time, to support organisations and bodies which are active at national or regional level by encouraging them to take part in concerted action in the areas recognised as priorities;
(17) Whereas it is therefore necessary to set out the arrangements for the financial support provided by the Community to the organisations and bodies that are representative of consumer interests, out of a constant concern for maximum transparency and for effectiveness in the use of the funds allocated by the Community;
(18) Whereas a modus vivendi was concluded on 20 December 1994 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission concerning the implementing measures for acts adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (4);
(19) Whereas it is necessary to lay down selection criteria for the provision of financial support;
(20) Whereas it is necessary to establish effective methods for evaluation and monitoring and to make provision for informing the target groups concerned in an appropriate way;
(21) Whereas the implementation of the activities provided for under this general framework must be evaluated in the light of the experience gained in the first three years;
(22) Whereas this Decision lays down, for the whole of the planned duration, a financial framework constituting the principal point of reference, within the meaning of point 1 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 (5), for the budgetary authority in the annual budgetary procedure,

(89/382/EEC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to the draft Decision submitted by the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Resolution of 19 June 1989 on the implementation of a plan of priority actions in the field of statistical information: Statistical Programme of the European Communities (1989-1992) (2) highlighted the need for a comprehensive and coherent statistical programme to support the objectives of the European Communities;
Whereas the implementation of the Statistical Programme calls for decisions that answer the needs of the Community, the establishment of priorities and the introduction of procedures to enhance the existing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas, in order to bring about such cooperation, a committee should be established with responsibility for assisting the Commission in the implementation of the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities;
Whereas it is desirable that such cooperation should embrace allt he fields covered by Statistical Programmes of the European Communities,
A Statistical Programme Committee, hereinafter called the Committee, is hereby established and shall be composed of representatives of the statistical institutes of the Member States and chaired by a representative of the Commission (the Director-General of the Statistical Office of the European Communities).
The Committee shall assist the Commission in the general coordination of the Multiannual Statistical Programmes, in order to ensure that the actions to be undertaken are consistent with those decided upon in the national statistical programmes.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 638/1999 of 25 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the granting of private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9(3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 (3) provides that private storage aid may be granted for certain long-keeping cheeses where there is a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the seasonal nature of Emmental and Gruyère cheese production is aggravated by the fact that the seasonal trend in consumption of such cheeses is the opposite of their production; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for recourse to such storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production;
Whereas the detailed rules of this measure should determine the maximum quantity to benefit from it as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question; whereas it is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract so as to enable the identification of the cheese and to maintain checks on the stock in respect of which aid is granted; whereas the aid should be fixed taking into account storage costs and the foreseeable trend of market prices;
Whereas, in view of experience in controls, the provisions relating thereto should be specified, in particular as regards the documents to be presented and the on-the-spot checks to be conducted; whereas these new requirements on the subject make it necessary to stipulate that the Member States may provide that the costs of controls be fully or in part charged to the contractor;
Whereas Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 of 30 June 1993 fixing the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to milk and milk products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 569/1999 (5), fixes the conversion rate to be applied in the framework of private storage aid schemes in the milk products sector;
Whereas it is appropriate to guarantee the continuation of the storage operations in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 23 000 tonnes of long-keeping (Emmental and Gruyère) cheeses manufactured in the Community which satisfy the requirements of Articles 2 and 3 hereof.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 (1) and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/99/EC lays down the general animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution within the Union and the introduction from third countries of products of animal origin for human consumption and provides for establishing specific rules and certification for transit.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (2) lays down that certain commodities are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto. It also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for such commodities. Those requirements take also into account whether or not additional guarantees are requested due to the disease status of those third countries, territories, zones or compartments. The additional guarantees with which those commodities are to comply are set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.
(3) Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 requires that specified pathogen-free eggs, meat, minced meat and mechanically separated meat of poultry, ratites and wild game-birds, eggs and egg products transiting through the Union shall be accompanied by a certificate drawn up in accordance with the model certificate set out in Annex XI and complying with the conditions set out in that certificate.
(4) In view of the isolated geographic situation of the Russian territory of Kaliningrad, Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 derogates from the requirements of Article 4(4) of that Regulation and lays down specific conditions for transit of certain consignments from and bound for Russia through Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Those conditions include additional controls and the sealing of the consignments.
(5) Belarus requested the Commission to authorise the transit through the Union of poultry meat from Belarus through Lithuania to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad.
(6) Owing to the geographical situation of Kaliningrad and the already existing procedural structures laid down in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 with regard to transit of commodities from and bound to Russia, the transit of poultry meat from Belarus through Lithuania to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad by rail or road should be permitted, provided the conditions laid down in Article 18(2), (3) and (4) for other commodities are complied with.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended in order to include the commodity poultry meat in its Article 18(2) and to modify the entry for Belarus in Part 1 of Annex I to that Regulation.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas the application of Directive 65/269/EEC has revealed difficulties in the use of these authorizations in the case of certain coupled combinations of vehicles;

The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 1 of Directive 65/269/EEC:
'If the transport operation is carried out by a coupled combination of vehicles, the authorizations required shall be issued by the competent authorities of the Member State in which the tractor is registered.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1225/2003
of 9 July 2003
initiating a "new exporter" review of Council Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of stainless steel wires with a diameter of 1 mm or more originating in India, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96(1) of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002(2), and in particular Article 11(3) and (4),
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a "new exporter" review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by VSL Wires Limited (the applicant), an exporting producer in India (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 mm or more, containing by weight 2,5 % or more of nickel, excluding wire containing by weight 28 % or more but no more than 31 % of nickel and 20 % or more but no more than 22 % of chromium originating in India (the product concerned), currently classifiable within CN code ex 7223 00 19. This CN code is given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999(3) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in India, and produced by the applicant, are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties of 55,6 %, with the exception of several companies specifically mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 April 1997 to 31 March 1998 (the original investigation period).
The applicant further alleges that it has begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the investigation period, and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product concerned, which are subject to the abovementioned anti-dumping measures.
E. PROCEDURE
(5) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a "new exporter" review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which their imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(a) Questionnaires
In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(6) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duties in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(7) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 5(a) of this Regulation or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(8) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available,
Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of the facts available,
A review of Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 in order to determine if, and to what extent, the imports of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 mm or more, containing by weight 2,5 % or more of nickel, excluding wire containing by weight 28 % or more but no more than 31 % of nickel and 20 % or more but no more than 22 % of chromium falling within CN code ex 7223 00 19 (TARIC code 7223 00 19 90 ) originating in India, produced and sold for export to the Community by VSL Wires Limited (TARIC additional code A 444) should be subject to the anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999.
The anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1600/1999 are hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of the present Regulation.
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 5(a) of this Regulation or any other information, unless otherwise specified, within 40 days of the entry into force of this Regulation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the aforementioned period.
Interested parties may also apply in writing to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.
All submissions and request made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified), and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax, and/or telex number of the interested party.
Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing should be sent to the following address: European Commission Directorate-General for Trade

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 February 2010
concerning the non-inclusion of diazinon in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market
(notified under document C(2010) 749)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/71/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(2) Diazinon is included in that list for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) The deadline for the submission of a complete dossier for active substances for use in product-type 18 was 30 April 2006. No complete dossier was however received within this time period.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States accordingly. On 14 June 2006, the Commission also made that information public by electronic means.
(5) Within the period of three months from that publication, a company indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for diazinon for use in product-type 18.
(6) Commission Decision 2007/794/EC of 29 November 2007 setting a new deadline for the submission of dossiers for certain substances to be examined under the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC (3) fixed the new deadline for the submission of a dossier to 30 April 2008.
(7) Within this new deadline, before submitting its dossier, the applicant consulted Portugal, the rapporteur Member State designated for the evaluation of diazinon, to enquire whether its reference product, a flea collar, was to be considered as a biocidal product or a veterinary medicinal product.
(8) Portugal, after consultation with the Commission and the other Member States, advised the applicant that most Member States would not consider a flea collar such as the one placed on the market by the applicant as a biocidal but as a veterinary medicinal product, as defined in Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).
(9) In view of this advice the applicant did not submit a dossier for the inclusion of diazinon in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC for product-type 18. Pursuant to Article 12(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the role of participant for diazinon for product-type 18 may no longer be taken over.
(10) Since the applicant did not submit a dossier within the prescribed period, diazinon should not be included for product-type 18 in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(11) It is necessary to establish a longer period for the phasing-out of flea collars placed on the market of certain Member States as biocidal products to allow for their authorisation as veterinary medicinal products in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Diazinon (CAS number 333-41-5, EC number 206-373-8) shall not be included in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC for product-type 18.
Flea collars placed on the market as biocidal products and containing diazinon for use in product-type 18 shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 March 2013.
Other biocidal products containing diazinon for use in product-type 18 shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 March 2011.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (8), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support, referring specifically to the measures eligible pursuant to Objective 1;

Whereas the single programming document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund and the FIFG;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as amended by the Act of Accession (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1350/72 of 28 June 1972 on rules for granting aid to hop producers (3) lays down that producers are to submit each year a declaration of the areas which they have planted;
Whereas the method of assessing the areas planted with hops can vary from one region to another ; whereas the concept of "area planted" should therefore be defined at Community level to ensure uniform calculation of the areas qualifying for production aid;
Whereas the production aid at present being paid should be granted under comparable conditions in all the Member States ; whereas it is therefore necessary to authorize that the areas registered be increased by a standard rate to offset the differences in calculation existing between the Member States;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops.
The following two paragraphs are hereby added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1350/72:
"3. "Area planted" means: (a) the area bounded by the line of the outer anchorage strings of the hop poles;
(b) the areas at either end of the rows which are required for operating agricultural machinery, provided that neither area is more than five metres in length and that it does not form part of a highway.
4. On application by a producer submitted within three months of the entry into force of this Regulation, the area registered for the purposes of the 1975 and 1976 harvests shall be increased: 1. by 5 % in the Member States in which the areas referred to in paragraph (3) (b) have not been included in the areas registered;
2. by 10 % in the Member States in which the areas registered comprised only the areas bounded by the bases of the hop poles."
Article 2 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1350/72 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"(a) were planted, as regards the areas referred to in Article 1 (3) (a), with a uniform density of at least: - 1 500 plants per hectare in the case of double staking,
- 2 000 plants per hectare in the case of single staking".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas eligibility for the compensatory payment under the general scheme referred to Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is subject to an obligation to set-aside land; whereas the dtailed rules of application laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2293/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2594/93 (4), specify that the set-aside period shall commence on 15 January at the latest and that no agricultural production is allowed on set-aside land;
Whereas, as a result of servere flooding, it is impossible for producers in certain areas within certain Member States to harvest existing crops, in particular of potatoes, sugar beet, fodder beet, carrots or parsnips prior to 15 January 1994 on land destined to be set aside; whereas exceptionally the harvest of those crops prior to 28 February 1994 should, on an application by a producer, be allowed without this prohibiting the land from being validly set aside, provided that a producer provides proof that the relevant conditions are satisfied;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
On application to the competent authority of the Member State concerned, and notwithstanding Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2293/92 prohibiting agricultural production on set-aside land, where a producer can prove:
- that, as a result of servere flooding of land it was impossible to harvest an existing crop prior to 15 January 1994,
- that the crop, if harvested, was harvested prior to 28 February 1994,
- that all other relevant conditions in relation to set-aside land have been respected,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request from the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas, under Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (1), the Federal Republic of Germany was authorized to grant special aid to agricultural producers using value added tax as an instrument;
Whereas, under the terms of the aforementioned Regulation, the aid in question may not exceed 3 % of the ex-VAT price paid by the purchaser for the agricultural product;
Whereas this limit has proved insufficient in view of the particular difficulties encountered by German agriculture; whereas, in this exceptional situation, exceeding this limit should be deemed to be compatible with the common market;
Whereas, however, the compensation thus granted should not exceed the effects arising out of the dismantling of monetary compensatory amounts,
For the period 1 July 1984 to 31 December 1988 the aid granted by the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of VAT relief shall be deemed to be compatible with the common market up to a maximum of 5 % of the ex-VAT price paid by the purchaser for the agricultural product.

(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), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 and the third paragraph of Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to the opinions of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) All pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals should be evaluated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(2) The substance altrenogest was included, in accordance with Council Directive 96/22/EC of 29 April 1996 concerning the prohibition on the use in stockfarming of certain substances having a hormonal or thyrostatic action and of beta-agonists, and repealing Directives 81/602/EEC, 88/146/EEC and 88/299/EEC (2), in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for porcine species and equidae for zootechnical use only pending completion of scientific studies. These studies have now been completed and altrenogest should therefore be inserted in Annex I to that Regulation.
(3) The substance beclomethasone dipropionate should be included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for equidae but only for inhalation use.
(4) The substances cloprostenol and r-cloprostenol have been included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for bovine, porcine and equine species. Those entries should be extended to cover caprine species.
(5) The substance sorbitan sesquioleate is closely related to sorbitan trioleate, which is included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for all food producing species. Other sorbitan esters are authorised as food additives under Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (3) and are therefore included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for all food producing species. The sorbitan esters concerned are sorbitan monostearate (E491), sorbitan tristearate (E492), sorbitan monolaurate (E493), sorbitan monooleate (E494) and sorbitan monopalmitate (E495). sorbitan sesquioleate should therefore also be included in that Annex II for all food producing species.
(6) The substance toltrazuril is included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for chickens, turkeys, and porcine species. In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies for the extension to cover bovine species, toltrazuril should be included in Annex III to that Regulation, but not for animals from which milk is produced for human consumption.
(7) Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be amended accordingly.
(8) An adequate period should be allowed before the applicability of this Regulation in order to enable Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary in the light of this Regulation to the marketing authorisations granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (4).
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 22 February 2005.

(5) The designation of Member States as rapporteurs for the second stage of the work programme provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC was set out in Article 4(1) and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. In view of certain inbalances that have appeared following examination of the requests for inclusion in Annex I, the role of rapporteur in respect of certain active substances should be transferred to a different Member State.
(6) In order to ensure that the review required under Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC can be completed in a timely manner, a time limit should also be set for the submission to the rapporteur Member State of the dossiers and other technical or scientific information, required pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.
(7) The names and addresses of the producers who have presented a notification satisfying the above mentioned requirements should be published in order to ensure that contacts can be made for presenting collective dossiers.

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 749/97 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, 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;
Whereas 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;
Whereas, 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);
Whereas, 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; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas, doramectin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, amitraz and azamethiphos should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas appreciable revaluations have occurred for the Irish pound, the pound sterling and the Italian lira; whereas it is necessary to take steps at Community level to prevent distortions in the implementation of the common agricultural policy due to monetary causes;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides for the Council to take all necessary measures in the event of an appreciable revaluation, which, primarily to comply with obligations under the GATT Agreement and budgetary discipline, may involve derogations from the provisions of the said Regulation concerning aid and the amount by which the monetary gaps are dismantled, without, however, resulting in the threshold being extended; whereas the measures provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of the said Regulation cannot be applied as they stand;
Whereas compensation for appreciable reductions in the agricultural conversion rates before 1 January 1997 was regulated by Regulations (EC) No 1527/95 (2) and (EC) No 2990/95 (3); whereas equality of treatment requires that new cases should be dealt with in the same way, while taking account of experience; whereas, on the basis of the information available, it is impossible to know what the situation will be for more than twelve months ahead;
Whereas problems could arise, in particular upon the introduction of the euro, if the agricultural conversion rates applicable to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 were to be maintained until 1 January 1999, the planned date for the implementation of the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union; whereas the monetary gap for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the amounts in question should consequently be limited for all the currencies for which it has proved possible to show an appreciable revaluation;
Whereas the rules for granting compensatory aid should be amplified on the basis of experience; whereas the amplification should involve taking account of currency developments in the months following appreciable revaluation, and introducing a threshold below which the grant of aid makes little economic sense;
Whereas the amount of compensatory aid should be established in each case as a function of the latest known economic and financial data; whereas this amount should be determined by the Commission by the management committee procedure, on the basis of the methods devised and applied under Regulations (EC) No 1527/95 and (EC) No 2990/95; whereas these methods lead to calculation, on a flat-rate basis, of a toward estimate of annual income loss related to the appreciable revaluation, with a deduction for budgetary purposes;
Whereas the appreciable revaluation of the Irish pound on 8 November 1996 did not lead to the granting of compensatory aid; whereas aid should be authorized in this case in accordance with the conditions of this Regulation,
1. This Regulation shall apply in the event of appreciable revaluations occurring from 1 January 1997 until the end of the twelfth month following that of its publication.
This Regulation shall apply also during the said period in cases where the agricultural conversion rate referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3 (1) is reduced.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, an appreciable revaluation shall mean a reduction in the agricultural conversion rate leading to the application of Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, and any other reduction as defined in Article 1 (e) of that Regulation.
3. The appreciable revaluation shall be deemed to have occurred:
- where applicable, on the date of the appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rate, as defined in Article 1 (e) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, or
- in other cases, on the earliest date on which all the conditions for applying Articles 7 or 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, with the exception of the request from the Member State concerned, are fulfilled.
Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall not be applicable in cases of revaluation as referred to in Article 1.
1. The agricultural conversion rate applied to one of the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, on the day preceding that on which the conditions for applying that Article are fulfilled, except for the request from the Member State concerned, shall remain unchanged until 1 January 1999.
However, where the agricultural conversion rate referred to in the first subparagraph or in Article 3 of Regulations (EC) No 1527/95 or (EC) No 2990/95 exceeds by more than 11,5 % the agricultural conversion rate which it replaces, the former of the said rates shall be adjusted so as to be equal to the rate replaced, plus 11,5 %.
2. The agricultural conversion rate referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply to the amount in question and to any additions or changes to the value of that amount decided up to 1 January 1999.
1. The Member State affected may make compensatory payments to farmers in three successive tranches lasting twelve months each, starting with the month following the appreciable revaluation.
These compensatory payments shall not take the form of aid linked to production, other than production during a stipulated, prior period. They shall not favour any particular type of production or be dependent on production subsequent to the period stipulated.
2. The maximum amount of the first tranche of compensatory aid shall be established, for the Member State concerned as a whole, by multiplying:
- the appreciable part of the revaluation, as a percentage, determined in accordance with Article 5,
by
- the flat-rate income loss for each percentage point of appreciable revaluation, determined in accordance with Article 6.
The sum resulting from the calculation referred to in the first subparagraph shall be increased by the part of the aid referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 for which the agricultural conversion rate has been reduced in accordance with Article 3 of this Regulation.
3. The maximum amount referred to in paragraph 2 shall be reduced or cancelled if necessary as a function of the effect on income of the development of agricultural conversion rates recorded during a certain observation period.
The observation period shall expire at the end of the sixth month following that of appreciable revaluation. However, where revaluation occurs in the course of the observation period for an earlier appreciable revaluation, the entire observation period shall expire at the end of the third month following that of the last revaluation.
However, no aid shall be granted when the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 and the first subparagraph of this paragraph corresponds to less than 0,5 % of appreciable revaluation.
4. The amounts paid out under the second and third tranches shall each be reduced, vis-Ă -vis the level of the previous tranche, by at least a third of the amount paid out in the first tranche.
The amounts paid out under the second and third tranches of compensatory aid shall be reduced or cancelled as a function of the effect on incomes of the development of agricultural conversion rates recorded until the beginning of the month preceding the first month of the relevant tranche.
5. The Community contribution to financing the compensatory aid shall be 50 % of the amounts that may be paid out.
For the purposes of the financing of the common agricultural policy, this contribution shall be considered to form part of the assistance designed to stabilize agricultural markets. The Member State may withdraw from national participation in financing the aid.
1. The appreciable part of the revaluation, expressed as a percentage, referred to in the first indent of Article 4 (2) shall:
(a) in cases of appreciable reduction of the agricultural conversion rate within the meaning of Article 1 (e) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, be equal to the difference between, on the one hand, the threshold beyond which a reduction becomes appreciable and, on the other, the new agricultural conversion rate, expressed as a percentage of that threshold;
(b) in other cases, be equal to the highest, over the six months following that of the appreciable reduction, of the reductions in average agricultural conversion rates below the thresholds triggering the possible application of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, such reductions shall be established on the first day of each month concerned and expressed as a percentage of the said thresholds; for the calculation of the reductions in question, the rates applicable at the time of the appreciable revaluation shall also apply to the following months.
2. Where several successive appreciable revaluations occur, the reductions in the agricultural conversion rates taken into account for determining the appreciable part leading to the grant of aid may not be taken into account more than once.
1. The flat-rate income loss referred to in the second indent of Article 4 (2) shall be equal to:
(a) the sum of 1 %:
- of final agricultural production of cereals including rice, sugar beet, milk and milk products and beef and veal,
and
- of the value of the quantities of products supplied under a contract imposing, in accordance with Community rules, a minimum price to the producer, for products not referred to in the first indent,
and
- of aid or premiums paid to farmers, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92;
(b) after subtraction of:
- 0,5 % of the value of intermediate consumption in the form of animal feed,
and
- the impact on tax of the reduction in gross value added at market prices resulting from the operations concerning point (a) and the preceding indent,
and
- a deduction corresponding to 1 % of forecast EAGGF expenditure on the following items:
- the full amount of flat-rate per hectare aid,
- half the amount of structural or environmental aid, and
- 130 % of sheepmeat and goatmeat premiums.
2. The amounts referred to in the second and third indents of paragraph 1 (a) shall not be taken into account when their sum is less than 0,01 % of the final agricultural production of the relevant Member State in the product sector concerned.
For the purposes of this Regulation, the product sectors shall be those set out in the Annex.
3. The flat-rate income loss shall be determined on the basis of information relating to:
(a) economic accounts for agriculture available from Eurostat for the last calendar year ending before the date of appreciable revaluation, for the first indent of paragraph 1 (a) and the first and second indents of paragraph 1 (b);
(b) the budget outturn, or, failing that, the budgets or draft budgets or preliminary draft budgets relating to:
- income for the year referred to in (a), for the second and third indents of paragraph 1 (a),
- the budget year beginning during the marketing year for cereals in which the appreciable revaluation occurred, for the third indent of paragraph 1 (b).
For the purposes of applying paragraph 2 in marginal cases, consideration of the information referred to in point (a) above shall take account of the relevant figures for the preceding two years also.
The increase referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (2) shall be calculated as a function of the data referred to in the first indent of point (b) above.
The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, adopt detailed rules for applying this Regulation, and in particular the amounts of the aid tranches referred to in Article 4 and the factors for calculating them referred to in Articles 5 and 6.
Before the end of the third period during which the compensatory aid is granted, the Commission shall examine the effects on income of the appreciable revaluation concerned.
Where it is found that income losses are likely to continue, the Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, extend the possibility of granting compensatory aid as provided for in Article 4 of this Regulation by a maximum of two additional 12-month tranches, the maximum amount per tranche being equal to that granted in the third tranche.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Articles 4 to 8 shall apply to the reduction in the agricultural conversion rate of the Irish pound that occurred on 8 November 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/87 of 21 January 2015 accepting the undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China
|
22.1.2015 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 15/75
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/87
of 21 January 2015
accepting the undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
After consulting the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1) On 30 November 2013, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2), the initiation of an expiry review and of partial interim reviews (‘reviews’) of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports into the Union of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’).
(2) The definitive findings and conclusions of the reviews are set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of citric acid originating in the PRC following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation and of partial interim reviews pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.
(3) It is noted that the measures in force (4) have the form of undertakings for five exporting producers including a group of exporting producers which were accepted by the Commission Decision 2008/899/EC (5) (‘undertakings currently in force’).
2. UNDERTAKINGS
(4) Prior to the adoption of definitive anti-dumping measures, the same five cooperating exporting producers in the PRC who are parties to the undertakings currently in force mentioned in recital 3 above, namely COFCO Biochemical (Anhui), Jiangsu Guoxin Union Energy (previously Yixing-Union Biochemical), the RZBC group, TTCA and Weifang Ensign Industry, offered new price undertakings in accordance with Article 8 of the basic Regulation with the purpose of replacing the undertakings currently in force.
(5) As in the undertakings currently in force, in these revised undertaking offers, the exporting producers have offered to sell citric acid at or above price levels which eliminate the revised injurious effects of dumping.
(6) In addition, the offers provide for the indexation of the minimum import prices given that the prices of citric acid varied significantly before, during and after the investigation period. The indexation is made in accordance with public quotations of corn in the EU, the main raw material normally used in the production of citric acid.
(7) Moreover, the exporting producers, in order to reduce the risk of price violations by means of cross-compensation of prices, offered to report all non-EU sales to those customers whose organisation or structure extends beyond the EU, should the exporting producer sell to such customers in the EU.
(8) The exporting producers will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the EU, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission. Furthermore, the sales structure of these companies is such that the Commission considers the risk of circumventing the agreed undertakings to be limited.
(9) It is noted also that the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals and Chemicals Importers and Exporters (‘CCCMC’) is joining the five companies mentioned in recital 4, and that therefore the CCCMC will play also an active role in the monitoring of the undertakings.
(10) In view of this, the undertakings offered by the exporting producers and CCCMC are acceptable.
(11) In order to enable the Commission to monitor effectively the companies' compliance with the undertakings, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertakings is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the anti-dumping duty will be conditional upon the presentation of an invoice containing at least the items of information listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82. This level of information is also necessary to enable customs authorities to ascertain with sufficient precision that the shipment corresponds to the commercial documents. Where no such invoice is presented, or when the other conditions provided for by the abovementioned Implementing Regulation are not met, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty shall instead be payable.
(12) To further ensure the respect of the undertakings, importers have been made aware by the abovementioned Implementing Regulation that the non-fulfilment of the conditions provided for by that Regulation, or the withdrawal by the Commission of the acceptance of the undertakings, may lead to a customs debt being incurred for the relevant transactions.
(13) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking, or in case of withdrawal of the acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission, the anti-dumping duty imposed in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation shall automatically apply pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation,
The undertakings offered by the exporting producers mentioned below together with the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals and Chemicals Importers and Exporters, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China, are hereby accepted.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 568/2006 of 6 April 2006 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
|

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 568/2006
of 6 April 2006
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 April 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 165/2013
of 22 February 2013
fixing for 2013 the amount of aid in advance for private storage of butter
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(a) and (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the granting of private storage aid for butter.
(2) Developments in prices and stocks of butter indicate an imbalance in the market which may be eliminated or reduced by the seasonal storage. In view of the current market situation, it is appropriate to grant aid for private storage of butter as from 1 March 2013.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 of 20 August 2008 laying down common rules for the granting of private storage aid for certain agricultural products (2) has established common rules for the implementation of a private storage aid scheme.
(4) Pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, aid fixed in advance is to be granted in accordance with the detailed rules and conditions provided for in Chapter III of that Regulation.
(5) In accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the aid should be fixed in the light of storage costs and the likely trends in prices for fresh butter and butter from stocks.
(6) It is appropriate to fix aid for the costs for entry and exit of the products concerned and for daily costs for cold storage and financing.
(7) To facilitate the implementation of the present measure and taking into consideration the existing practice in the Member States, the aid should relate only to products that have been fully placed into storage. Consequently, a derogation from Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should be provided for.
(8) For reasons of administrative efficiency and simplification, where the required information concerning storage details are already included in the application for aid, it is appropriate to waive the request to notify the same information after the conclusion of the contract as provided for in point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008.
(9) For reasons of simplification and logistic efficiency, Member States should be allowed to waive the requirement to mark the contract number on each unit stored where the contracts number is entered in the stores register.
(10) For reasons of administrative efficiency and simplification, taking into account the particular situation for butter storage, the checks provided for in Article 36(6) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should be carried out in respect of at least one half of the contracts. Consequently, a derogation from that Article should be provided for.
(11) Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 of 31 August 2009 laying down detailed rules for the Member States’ notification to the Commission of information and documents in implementation of the common organisation of the markets, the direct payments’ regime, the promotion of agricultural products and the regimes applicable to the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands (3) lays down common rules for notifying information and documents by the competent authorities of the Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. In addition, that Regulation sets common principles applying to the information systems in order to guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents. It also provides for personal data protection.
(12) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 the obligation to use the information systems in accordance with that Regulation has to be provided for in the regulations establishing a specific notification obligation.
(13) The Commission has developed an information system that allows managing documents and procedures electronically in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy.
(14) It is considered that notification obligations for the private storage of butter can be fulfilled via that system in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009, in particular those provided for in Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008.
(15) For reasons of clarity, this Regulation should expire on the final date laid down for the end of contractual storage.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. This Regulation provides for private storage aid for salted and unsalted butter as referred to in Article 28(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 for contracts concluded from 1 March 2013.
2. Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 shall apply save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
The unit of measurement referred to in Article 16(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 is the ‘storage lot’ which corresponds to the quantity of the product covered by this Regulation, weighing at least 1 tonne and of homogeneous composition and quality, produced in a single factory, taken into storage in a single warehouse on a single day.
1. By way of derogation from Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, applications shall only relate to products that have been fully placed into storage.
2. Point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 shall not apply.
3. Member States may waive the requirements referred to in Article 22(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 to mark the contract number provided that the store manager undertakes to enter the contract number in the register referred to in point III of Annex I to that Regulation.
4. By way of derogation from Article 36(6) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, at the end of the contractual storage period, the authority responsible for checking shall, throughout the whole removal period from August 2013 to February 2014, in respect of at least one half of the number of contracts, by sampling, verify weight and identification of the butter in storage.
1. The aid for the products referred in Article 1 shall be:
— EUR 14,88 per tonne of storage for fixed storage costs,
— EUR 0,25 per tonne per day of contractual storage.
2. Entry into contractual storage shall take place between 1 March and 15 August 2013. Removal from store may take place only as from 16 August 2013. Contractual storage shall end on the day preceding that of the removal from storage or at the latest the last day of February following the year of entry into store.
3. Aid may be granted only where the contractual storage period is between 90 and 210 days.
1. Member States shall notify the Commission of the following:
(a) by each Tuesday for the previous week, the quantities for which contracts have been concluded as well as the quantities of products for which applications to conclude contracts have been submitted, as required under Article 35(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008;
(b) not later than the end of each month for the previous month, the information on the stocks required under Article 35(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008.
2. The notifications referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 28 February 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DIRECTIVE 2008/33/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 March 2008
amending Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides that certain measures are to be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (5) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to amend the annexes and to establish certain technical requirements and control rules. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2000/53/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(5) Since the Commission has laid down the implementing rules referred to in Article 5(5), Article 7(2) and Article 8(2) of Directive 2000/53/EC by means of Decisions 2002/151/EC (6), 2005/293/EC (7) and 2003/138/EC (8), it is appropriate to delete the references to the deadlines of 21 October 2001, 21 October 2002 and 21 October 2001 respectively.
(6) Directive 2000/53/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Since the amendments made to Directive 2000/53/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 (2) fixes per Member State the threshold of economic size of returning holdings falling within the field of survey of the farm accountancy data network.
(2) In the case of Spain, structural changes have lead to a decrease in the number of smaller holdings and in their contribution to the total output of agriculture. The holdings with an economic size smaller than 4 ESU (435 307 holdings) represent only 4,04 % of total standard gross margin. The most relevant part of agricultural activity can therefore be covered with a threshold excluding the smaller holdings. The threshold set at 2 ESU should consequently be raised to 4 ESU.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 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 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 2
For the 2008 accounting year (a period of 12 consecutive months beginning between 1 January 2008 and 1 July 2008) and for subsequent accounting years, the threshold as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation 79/65/EEC in ESU shall be as follows:

94/260/ECSC: Commission Decision of 12 April 1994 concerning aid to be granted by Germany to the steel company Sächsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen (Only the German text is authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 12 April 1994 concerning aid to be granted by Germany to the steel company Saechsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen (Only the German text is authentic) (94/260/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the first and second paragraphs of Article 95 thereof,
After consulting the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council,
Whereas:
I The Community steel industry is currently experiencing its most difficult period since the first half of the 1980s. This is due to the general slowdown in the economy, which has had significant effect on industrial activities in general, and on the steel industry in particular, leading to a serious imbalance between supply and demand, accompanied by a collapse in prices. In addition, the international market generally has been weak: there is pressure from imports and there has been a trade dispute with the United States of America affecting substantial Community exports to that market. All of these factors have combined to aggravate the financial situation of almost all steel companies in the Community.
II On 18 January 1993, Germany notified the Commission of a plan of the Treuhandanstalt, a public body in charge of the privatization of the State-owned enterprises of the former German Democratic Republic, to grant aid to its steel company Saechsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen (hereinafter referred to as 'SEW Freital') in the framework of its privatization, with a request for the application of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty in respect of the aid measures that cannot be approved under Commission Decision No 3855/91/ECSC (1) (Steel Aid Code, hereinafter referred to as 'the SAC').
The company in question was founded in the 19th century and is held by the Treuhandanstalt since the German economic, monetary and social unification in June 1990. The undertaking was offered for sale in an unconditional and open bidding procedure. Five applicants demonstrated interest in the acquisition of SEW Freital. Following talks between the Treuhandanstalt and those five applicants, concrete contractual negotiations were conducted until October 1992 with three of them. While one of the remaining three withdrew its offer in August 1992, the proposal of the second was considered not to be backed by a reliable financial plan. The private West-German Boschgotthardtshuette O. Breyer GmbH (hereinafter referred to as 'BGH') remained as sole bidder. The purchase contract was signed in December 1992, inter alia, subject to approval by the Commission. Through is contract, SEW Freital has been taken over by SEW Edelstahl GmbH and Co Holding, which is entirely owned by BGH.
The plan of the purchaser provides for a reduction of the hot-rolling capacity of the company by at least 160 kt/y (47 %) and a reduction of the crude-steel capacity by 100 kt/y (33 %) compared to the situation on 1 July 1990. The comany will close down all existing hot-rolling facilities and replace them by a merchant-bar mill with a capacity of 180 kt/y of which some parts will be provided to the company by BGH for free. It will close down all of its remaining crude-steel facilities and replace them by an electric arc furnace with a capacity of 200 kt/y. The capacity reduction will be accompanied by a substantial reduction in the workforce, namely by 49 %.
The privatization provisions include aid elements that are incomptible with the ECSC Treaty and with the provisions of the SAC. According to the Commission's estimates, this aid amounts to a maximum of DM 274 million, serving the following purposes:
- a maximum amount of DM 34 million has been accorded to cover social charges relating to the release of 1 056 of 2 166 employees,
- a maximum amount of DM 189 million is to cover debts accumulated until privatization,
- a maximum amount of DM 42 million which the Treuhandanstalt will pay to the company for repair and maintenance of installations,
- a maximum amount of DM 9 milion by which the Treuhandanstalt guarantees the valuation of certains assets.
Additional investment aid up to a maximum of DM 47,8 million, a tax allowance of DM 12,8 million and a guarantee covering up to 80 % of the investment loans of DM 100,8 million has been approved by the Commission under the SAC.
III The restructuring plan on which the purchase agreement is based is considered viable by the Commission since a private investor experienced in the steel sector is prepared to risk a considerable amount of own capital. The investor, chosen after an open and unconditional bidding procedure, has demonstrated his willingness to assume the risk for the company's future viability without further aid than that covered by the purchase contract.
IV The extremely difficult Community steel market situation has endangered the sector in several Member States, including Germany. The aim of providing the steel industry in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic with a sound and economically viable structure contributes towards the achievement of the objectives of the Treaty, in particular Articles 2 and 3. The Commission considers that the public financial assistance measures proposed by Germany are necessary to achieve these aims. The Commission therefore finds itself faced with a situation not specifically provided for in the Treaty. In these exceptional circumstances, recourse must be had to the first paragraph of Article 95 of the Treaty, so as to enable the Community to pursue the objectives set out in the initial Articles thereof.
At the same time, however, it is essential to ensure that the aid approved is limited to what is absolutely necessary and that it does not adversely affect trading conditions within the Community to an extent contrary to the common interest, particularly given the current difficulties on the Community steel market. It is therefore important that there should be adequate counterpart measures, commensurate with the amount of aid being exceptionally approved, so that a major contribution is made to the structural adjustment required in the sector.
V As regards the capacity reductions envisaged under the plan, it is necessary to require that all the closures are definitive and irreversible so that the capacity concerned no longer depresses the Community steel market. The closed installations must therefore be scrapped or sold for use outside Europe. In addition, there should be no increase in remaining capacity for crude-steel and hot-rolled finished products, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure, or of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later, in order to ensure a long-term and real effect on reducing the current imbalance between supply and demand on the Community steel market. It is also essential that the timetable for closures set out in the restructuring plan is complied with.
VI It is not only necessary to ensure during the whole restructuring period that the aid approved enables the company to return to viability, the aid must also be kept to the amount strictly necessary. In that context, it must also be ensured that the company does not, as a result of the financial restructuring measures, obtain an unfaire advantage over other companies in the sector by being provided at the outset with net financial charges below 3,5 % of annual turnover, which is the current average for Community steel companies. It is also appropriate to require that the company or its legal successor is not allowed to claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on past losses covered by aid. Furthermore, any additional loans must be on normal commercial conditions and no preferential treatment accorded to any fresh public debts incurred.
VII The implementation of this Decision requires strict monitoring by the Commission during the whole restructuring period up and until the end of 1998.
In order to carry out this monitoring effectively, the Commission will require the full and close collaboration of Germany, on whom clear and strict reporting obligations will be imposed.
In particolar, the following elements will require close attention:
- the reduction of capacity,
- the granting of aid under the present privatization plan and the source, terms and conditions of any further financing over and above that period for in the plan,
- the investments carried out,
- reductions in the workforce,
- production and the effects on the market,
- financial performance.
The Commission will submit six-monthly reports to the Council to keep it informed of developments.
It is also necessary to ensure that the aid is not used for the purpose of unfair competition practices. In addition the Commission may require on-the-spot checks made in accordance with Article 47 of ECSC Treaty, in order to verify the informations provided and in particular the compliance with the conditions attached to the authorization of the aid. In that context, should a Member State make a complaint to the Commission that State aid is enabling the company to underprice, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.
Furthermore, should the Commission, on the basis of the information provided, find that the conditions laid down in its decision pursuant to Article 95 had not been met, it may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid. In the event of a Member State's failing to comply with such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.
The Commission may decide that all reports should be on a quarterly basis. It may also decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected with the agreement of Germany, to assist it in its monitoring task.
The Commission will, by exercising all its powers, ensure that the aided company fulfils the conditions of this Decision, including the necessary progress towards viability and its other obligations resulting from the application of the ECSC Treaty. Should the monitoring reports indicate substantial deviations from the financial data on which the viability assessment has been made, the Commission may require appropriate measures to be taken to reinforce the restructuring measures.
VIII A decision pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty to authorize State aid is extraordinary in character given the provisions of Article 4 (c). Inview of all the above, the Commission can exceptionally authorize the aid proposed in this case subject to observance of the conditions and requirements it lays down. However, the aid involved, which is intended to restore the company to viability by the end of 1997, should be regarded as final. Should a return to viability not be achieved by that date, Germany shall not request any further derogation pursuant to Article 95 for the company,
1. The following maximum amounts of aid which Germany plans to grant to Saechsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen may be regarded as compatible with the orderly functioning of the common market provided that the conditions and requirements of Articles 2 to 5 are met:
- an amount of DM 34 million to cover social charges relating to the release of 1 056 employĂŠes,
- an mount of DM 189 million to cover debts accumulated until privatization,
- an amount of DM 42 million for repair and maintenance of installations,
- an amount of DM 9 million by which the Treuhandanstalt guarantees the valuation of certain assets.
2. The aid has been calculated to enable the company to return to viability by the end of 1996. In the case that such viability is not atteined by that date, Germany shall not request any further derogation pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty for this company.
3. The aid shall not be used for the purpose of unfair competition practices.
4. Without prejudice to the aid measures referred to in this Article under the privatization plan, any loans to the company must be on normal commercial terms; and the beneficiary company must not receive debt holidays or friendly treatment of debts to the State.
1. The following definitive closure of production capacity shall be carried out:
- the existing mill for hot-rolled semi-finished products with a capacity of 90 kt/y, the medium-section mill with a capacity of 170 kt/y and the light-section mill with a capacity of 80 kt/y shall be closed down and replaced by a merchant-bar mill with a capacity of 180 kt/y, parts of which being moved from the BGH plant in Siegen,
- the existing crude-steel production facilities with a capacity of 300 kt/y shall be closed down to be replaced by a new electric arc furnace with a capacity of 200 kt/y.
2. All the capacity closures must be achieved by the end of 1996 at the latest.
3. The finality of the closures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be ensured either by the demolition of the installations concerned or by their disposal by sale outside Europe.
4. The beneficiary company shall not increase its remaining capacity for crude steel and hot-rolled finished products, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure under the plan or the date of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later.
The approval of aid as outlined in Article 1 is in addition subject to the following conditions:
1. the level of net financial charges of the new company will be set at least at 3,5 % of annual turnover, at the date of its privatization;
2. the company or its legal successor will not claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on the basis of past losses which are being covered by State aid;
3. the beneficiary company shall carry out all the restructuring measures laid down in the restructuring plan as it has been submitted to the Commission, in accordanced with the timetable contained therein.
1. Germany shall cooperate fully with the following arrangements for monitoring this Decision:
(a) Germany shall supply the Commission twice a year, and not later than 15 March and 15 September respectively, with reports containing full information in accordance with the enclosed Annex, on the beneficiary company and its restructuring. The first report should reach the Commission by 15 March 1994 and the last report by 15 September 1998, unless the Commission decides otherwise;
(b) the reports shall contain full information necessary for the Commission to monitor the restructuring process, the creation and use of capacity and show sufficient financial data to allow the Commission to assess whether its conditions and requirements are fulfilled. The reports shall at least contain full information in accordance with the Annex, which the Commission reserves the right to modify in line with its experiences during the monitoring process. It is up to Germany to oblige the beneficiary company to disclose all relevant data which may, under other circumstances, be considered as confidential.
2. The Commission shall, on the basis of the reports, draw up half-yearly reports which shall be submitted to the Council not later than 1 May and 1 November respectively, in order to allow discussion in the Council, if appropriate. If the beneficiary company envisages investments creating or extending capacity, the Commission shall inform the Council on the basis of a report presenting the financing arrangements and demonstrating the absence of State aid.
1. The Commission may at any time decide that the reports referred to in Article 4 (1) shall be on a quarterly basis if it deems such necessary to fulfil its monitoring tasks. The Commission may at any time decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected with the agreement of Germany, to evaluate the monitoring results, to undertake any research necessary and to report to the Council.
2. The Commission may have any necessary checks made in the aided company in accordance with Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty in order to verify the accuracy of the information given in the reports referred to in Article 4 (1) and in particular compliance with the conditions laid down in this Decision. In the case that a Member State makes a complaint that State aid is enabling the aided company to underprice, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.
3. In assessing the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), the Commission will ensure that the requirements of Article 1 (4), in particular, are being respected.
1. Without prejudice to any penalties it may impose by virtue of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid if, on the basis of the information received, at any time it were to find that the conditions laid down in this Decision had not been met. If Germany were to fail to fulfil its obligations under any such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.
2. Moreover, if the Commission establishes, on the basis of the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), that substantial deviations from the financial data, on which the viability assessment has been made, have occured, it may require Germany to take appropriate measures to reinforce the restructuring measures of the aided company.
This Decision is adressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (3), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (4), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live birds other than poultry, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds).
(2) Following the outbreak of avian influenza, caused by a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus strain, in south-eastern Asia starting in December 2003, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to avian influenza. Those measures included in particular Commission Decision 2005/759/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries and the movement from third countries of birds accompanying their owners (5) and Commission Decision 2005/760/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds (6).
(3) Since new cases of avian influenza have been reported in certain member countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the restrictions concerning the movements of pet birds and imports of other birds from certain areas at risk should be continued.

on electronic instructions for use of medical devices
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices (1), and in particular Article 9(10) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices (2), and in particular Article 11(14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For some medical devices the provision of instructions for use in electronic form instead of in paper form can be beneficial for professional users. It can reduce the environmental burden and improve the competitiveness of the medical devices industry by reducing costs, while maintaining or improving the level of safety.
(2) Such possibility of providing instructions for use in electronic form instead of in paper form should be limited to certain medical devices and accessories intended to be used in specific conditions. In any case, for reasons of safety and efficiency users should always have the possibility to obtain those instructions for use in paper form on request.
(3) In order to reduce potential risks as far as possible, the appropriateness of the provision of instructions for use in electronic form should be subject to a specific risk assessment by the manufacturer.
(4) In order to ensure that users have access to the instructions for use, appropriate information about access to those instructions for use in electronic form and about the right to request the instructions for use in paper form, should be provided.
(5) To ensure unconditional access to the instructions for use in electronic form and to facilitate the communication of updates and of product alerts, the instructions for use in electronic form should also be available through a website.
(6) Regardless of the language obligations imposed on manufacturers by the law of the Member States, manufacturers who provide instructions for use in electronic form should indicate on their website in which Union languages those instructions are available.
(7) Except for medical devices of Class I, as defined in Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC, the fulfilment of the obligations laid down in this Regulation should be reviewed by a notified body during the procedure applicable for conformity assessment based on a specific sampling method.
(8) As the protection of the right to privacy of natural persons with respect to the processing of personal data should be ensured by manufacturers and notified bodies as well, it is appropriate to provide that websites containing instructions for use of a medical device fulfil the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3).
(9) In order to ensure safety and consistency, instructions for use in electronic form which are provided in addition to complete instructions for use in paper form should be covered by this Regulation as regards limited requirements in relation to their contents and websites.
(10) It is appropriate to provide for a deferred application of this Regulation so as to facilitate the smooth transition to the new system and to allow all operators and Member States time to adapt to it.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 6(2) of Directive 90/385/EEC,
This Regulation establishes the conditions under which the instructions for use of medical devices referred to in point 15 of Annex 1 to Directive 90/385/EEC and in point 13 of Annex I to Directive 93/42/EEC may be provided in electronic form instead of in paper form.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 January 1984
on the aid provided for in Campania to support the production of apricots
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(84/224/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 regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 (2), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
After having given notice, pursuant to the provisions of the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty, to those concerned to submit their observations (3),
I
Whereas by letter dated 28 March 1983 the Italian Government, pursuant to Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, notified the draft Law of the region of Campania laying down provisions for rationalizing the cultivation of apricots;
Whereas the measure provides for the grant, in 1982, of Lit 1 000 million to apricot producers; whereas this amount is payable in the form of a subsidy of Lit 200 000 per hectare, which may be increased to Lit 700 000 per hectare in areas especially suited to the cultivation of apricots;
Whereas the Commission, after having examined the aid, informed the Italian Government by letter dated 3 June 1983 that the subsidy, granted by reference to areas cultivated and reserved on a priority basis for producers who, in absence of suitable cultivation techniques, encountered marketing difficulties during the 1980/81 marketing year, constituted an infringement of the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables; whereas, for these reasons and in view of the fact that the measure cannot be justified in the light of the provisions of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty, the Commission initiated the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) of the Treaty and gave the Italian Government notice to submit its comments;
Whereas in accordance with that procedure the Commission gave the other Member States and interested parties other than Member States notice to submit their comments;
Whereas by letter No 6772 of 2 August 1983 the Italian Government replied to the Commission's letter of 3 June 1983, drawing its attention to the fact that the measures complained of should be considered in the light of Council Directive 72/159/EEC;
Whereas the text of the draft Law contains nothing from which it can be inferred that the aid provided for is governed by Directive 72/159/EEC; whereas an aid granted per hectare that is not conditional on the making of investments and is not calculated in relation to investments made or to be made constitutes an income subsidy and is not to be considered in the light of the said Directive; whereas the Italian Government's reply has no foundation, therefore, in the draft Law for the region;
II
Whereas the subsidy in question artificially promotes the increase or - at least - the maintenance at current levels of apricot production in Campania; whereas it can reasonably be assumed, moreover, that this aid may in practice result in the product being supplied at prices lower than those which would have to be charged in the absence of such assistance from the public authorities;
Whereas the payment of a price supplement ensuring a guaranteed price to apricot producers constitutes a national intervention measure which affects the income of those producers; whereas it is therefore an infringement of the provisions governing the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables;
Whereas there are limitations on the power of Member States to intervene directly in the operation of the common organization of markets that include a common price system, which henceforth fall within the Community's exclusive competence; whereas this principle is based on the established case law of the Court of Justice; notably on the judgment delivered on 23 January 1975 in Case 51/74 (1); whereas that judgment stresses in general, as stated by the Advocate-General in his opinion in Case 10/79, that once the Community has legislated for establishment of a common organization of the market in a given sector, Member States are under an obligation to refrain from taking any measure which might undermine it or create exceptions to it; whereas in doing so they must have regard not only to its express provisions but also to its aims and objectives;
Whereas the granting of the aid referred to fails to recognize the principle that Member States are no longer empowered to legislate unilaterally on farmers' incomes, where there is a common organization of the market, by granting aids of this type.
III
Whereas the measures are liable to affect intra-Community trade and disturb competition by favouring Italian producers at the expense of producers in other Member States who are called upon to sell the same product on the Community market but are not in receipt of comparable aids;
Whereas the measures in question consequently satisfy the criteria of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty; whereas that Article provides that aids which satisfy the criteria which it sets out are incompatible, as a matter of principle, with the common market;
Whereas the measure is not one which will encourage the economic development of regions where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious under-employment, nor is it a measure intended to promote an important project of common European interest, or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of the Member State in question, and accordingly Article 92 (3) (a) and (b) of the EEC Treaty is inapplicable;
Whereas, moreover, the exceptional subsidy for the income of farmers concerned is an operating aid for the recipient farms of a purely protective nature; whereas, in general, the Commission has always been opposed to such aids, since they are not likely to facilitate in a lasting manner the development of activities in the sector concerned;
Whereas, moreover, in view of the comparable economic situation facing farmers in all the Member States, with stagnating or falling incomes and sharply rising production costs, and taking into account the appreciable or even keen intra-Community competition in most agricultural products, this aid is likely to affect the conditions of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest;
Whereas, accordingly, there is no factor which would enable the Commission to declare that the measure under consideration is not incompatible, by invoking the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty;
Whereas, therefore, the Italian Government's aid measure does not fulfil the conditions required for eligibility for one of the exceptions under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty;
Whereas, moreover, even if it had been possible to envisage an exception under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the fact that the aid, in respect of the product concerned, infringes the market organization in question makes it impossible to apply any such exception,
The subsidy of Lit 200 000 per hectare, which is increased to Lit 700 000 per hectare in areas that are especially suited to the production of apricots, provided for in the draft Law of the region of Campania laying down provisions for rationalizing the cultivation of apricots is incompatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty.
Consequently, the draft Law may not be adopted and the aid referred to above may not be granted.
Italy shall take the measures necessary to ensure compliance with this Decision. It shall inform the Commission thereof within one month from notification of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
