THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2281/2000(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled round grain rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2281/2000 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 1 to 7 June 2001 at 188,00 EUR/t.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1329/93 of 28 May 1993 deferring the final date for sowing maize and sorghum in certain areas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 364/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, in certain cases, the aforementioned date does not allow sowings of maize and sorghum to be undertaken in suitable conditions; whereas, in accordance with the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, provision should therefore be made for an additional time limit by which to sow where the weather conditions in certain areas make such a time limit necessary; whereas the said time limit should not, however, compromise the efficiency required of the support system for producers of arable crops, nor upset the introduction of checks relating to this system; whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix 31 May as the time limit for the areas concerned;
Whereas deferring the sowing date for certain arable crops in certain areas does not constitute sufficient grounds for changing the date laid down for the lodging of 'area' aid applications as referred to in Article 6 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (3); whereas the procedure whereby producers confirm sowings to the competent authorities may be implicitly established with a view to simplifying matters;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the final date for sowing shall be postponed to 31 May 1993 in the case of maize and sorghum in areas to be defined by the Member State in accordance with the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 and located within the regions listed in the Annex hereto.
The date for submitting 'area' aid applications, as well as any amendments thereto, shall be the same as that fixed by the Member State in accordance with Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92, for the areas and crops other than those mentioned in the Annex.
Without prejudice to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (4):
(a) the final date for confirming sowings to the competent authority shall be fixed at 31 May 1993;
(b) the Member States may introduce an implicit confirmation procedure whereby no notification on the part of the producer is equivalent to a confirmation of sowing. By the same token, producers who have not carried out the sowings planned must signal that fact.
Member States shall notify the Commission, not later than 31 May 1993, of the measures taken to apply this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (1), as extented by Regulation (EEC) No 444/92 (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 27 thereof,
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 stipulates for certain agricultural products, covered by that Regulation and originating in those countries, the progressive reduction, subject to reference quantities and a community surveillance in a set timetable of the customs duties; whereas this Regulation should be applied from 1 July 1992;
Whereas, these duty reductions shall be phased in over the same periods and in accordance with the same timetable as those laid down in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal for the same products imported from these countries into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3593/91 of 11 December 1991 abolishing in two stages certain customs duties applicable in trade between the Community of Ten and Spain and Portugal as a result of the Mediterranean agreements (3) foresees that the residual customs duties applicable to products from Spain and Portugal for which the dismantling of tariffs continues after 1 January 1993 will be eliminated in two equal instalments on 1 January 1992 and 1 January 1993;
Whereas the same concession should be granted for the same products originating in ACP States;
Whereas by virtue of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of Decision No 2/87 of the ACP/EEC Council of Ministers on the advance implementation of the Protocol to the Third ACP-EEC Convention (4) consequent on the Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities, the said reference quantities shall be applied in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, in order to enable the competent authorities within the Commission to establish an annual trade balance sheet for each of the products and, if necessary, to put into application the arrangement provided for in Article 16 (3) of the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, these products are subject to a statistical surveillance in accordance with Council Regulations (EEC) No 2658/87 (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1039/92 (6), and (EEC) No 1736/75 (7);
Whereas imports of the products in question are charged against the reference quantities at Community level within pre-established timetables, as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation; whereas, therefore, it is appropriate to establish reference quantities for those products listed in the Annex;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports into the Community of certain products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States shall be subject to reference quantities and to a statistical surveillance.
The products referred to in the first subparagraph, their CN codes, the periods of validity and the levels of the reference quantities are set out in the Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate. If the movement certificate is submitted a posteriori, the goods shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the moment when the goods are entered for free circulation.
The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph, as communicated to the Statistical Office of the European Communities in application of Regulations (EEC) No 2658/87 and (EEC) No 1736/75.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Comunities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) It is desirable to introduce into Council Directive 74/60/EEC(4), requirements concerning power-operated windows with the aim of eliminating the danger to children, which can occur when closing these windows; similar requirements should also apply to power-operated roof panel systems and partition systems; for this purpose the title and the scope of Directive 74/60/EEC should be amended accordingly.
(2) Directive 74/60/EEC is one of the separate directives of the EC type-approval procedure which has been established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(5); consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 70/156/EEC relating to vehicles, vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to Directive 74/60/EEC.
(3) In particular, Articles 3(4) and 4(3) of Directive 70/156/EEC require that each separate Directive has attached to it an information document incorporating the relevant items of Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC and also a type-approval certificate based on Annex VI to Directive 70/156/EEC in order that type-approval may be computerised.
(4) It is important that vehicles in categories other than M1, in particular those in categories M2 and N1, are able at the earliest opportunity to afford the driver and passengers, more particularly children, the level of safety provided by Directive 74/60/EEC; to that end it should be made possible for the scope of Directive 74/60/EEC to be extended to cover such vehicles in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
(5) The amendments to Directive 74/60/EEC relate only to its administrative provisions and to power-operated windows, roof panel and/or partition systems; it is not necessary therefore to invalidate existing approvals granted under Directive 74/60/EEC nor to prevent the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles, which are not fitted with power-operated windows, roof panel and/or partition systems and which are covered by such approvals.
(6) In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty, the measures contained in this Directive do not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaty,
Directive 74/60/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The title shall be replaced by the following:
"Council Directive 74/60/EEC of 17 December 1973 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the interior fittings of motor vehicles."
2. Articles 1, 2 and 3 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 1
For the purpose of this Directive, 'vehicle' means any vehicle as defined in Article 2 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to the interior fittings of the vehicles if these meet the requirements set out in the Annexes hereto.
No Member State may refuse to register or prohibit the sale, entry into service or use of any vehicle on grounds relating to the interior fittings of the vehicles if these meet the requirements set out in the Annexes."
3. Articles 4 and 5 shall be deleted.
4. The Annexes shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. With effect from 8 April 2001, Member States may not, on grounds relating to the interior fittings of the motor vehicles,
- refuse, in respect of a type of vehicle, to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval, or
- prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of vehicles,
if the vehicles comply with the requirements of Directive 74/60/EEC.
2. With effect from 8 April 2002, Member States shall no longer grant EC type-approval for a new type of vehicle on grounds relating to the interior fittings of the motor vehicles if the requirements of Directive 74/60/EEC are not complied with.
3. With effect from 8 April 2003, Member States:
- shall consider certificates of conformity which accompany new vehicles in accordance with the provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 7(1) of that Directive, and
- may refuse the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles which are not accompanied by a certificate of conformity unless Article 8(2) of Directive 70/156/EEC is invoked,
on grounds relating to the interior fittings of motor vehicles if the vehicles are fitted with power-operated windows, roof panel and/or partition systems and the requirements of Directive 74/60/EEC, are not complied with.
4. This Directive will not invalidate any approval for types of vehicles which are not fitted with power-operated windows, roof panel and/or partition systems previously granted under Directive 74/60/EEC nor prevent extensions of such approvals under the terms of the Directive under which they where originally granted.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 8 April 2001 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
3. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 16 December 1997 on import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia (98/69/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 619/96 (2), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 589/96 of 2 April 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application in the beef and veal sector of Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 589/96 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products; whereas, however, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries;
Whereas the applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 December 1997, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 589/96, do not exceed, in respect of products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from these States; whereas it is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities requested;
Whereas the quantities, in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 January 1998, should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52 100 tonnes;
Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems on importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (4), as last amended by Directive 96/91/EC (5),
The following Member States shall issue on 22 December 1997 import licences for beef and veal products, expressed as boned meat, originating in certain African, Caribbean and Pacific States, in respect of the following quantities and countries of origin:
Germany:
- 100,000 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 45,000 tonnes originating in Namibia.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter on the Community market (2), the intervention agencies may sell at a reduced price by standing invitation to tender certain quantities of intervention butter intended for use in pastry products, ice-creams and other foodstuffs. The intervention agencies may also grant aid for the use of butter, concentrated butter and cream in pastry products, ice-creams and other foodstuffs, and for concentrated butter intended for direct consumption in the Community.
(2) Given the current situation on the Community market, and in particular the lack of surplus public stocks of butter, no award should be made under these tendering procedures. This situation is likely to last for some time to come. In order to simplify the management of these measures, the sale referred to in Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 and the aid provided for in Article 1(b)(i) and (ii) should be suspended.
(3) So as not to interfere with the functioning of the invitations to tender, this Regulation should apply from the start of the period for submitting tenders for a specific invitation.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The invitations to tender provided for in Section 5 of Chapter II and in Section 2 of Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 are hereby suspended.
A notice announcing the suspension of these standing invitations to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 12 September 2007.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1164/95 (4), provides for the fixing of indicative quantities expressed as a percentage of the quantities allocated to the various countries or groups of countries mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 478/95 for the purpose of issuing import licences for each quarter using data and forecasts relating to the Community market, on the basis of the forecast supply balance for production and consumption in the Community and of imports and exports as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93;
Whereas it should be recalled that Commission Regulation (EC) No 703/95 of 30 March 1995 (5) provides for the transfer to Colombia of the quantity allocated to Nicaragua for 1995 by Regulation (EC) No 478/95 on account of the fact that Nicaragua has been unable to export bananas to the Community throughout this year;
Whereas, on the basis of an analysis of the data relating on the one hand to the quantities of bananas marketed in the Community in 1994 and in particular to actual imports in particular during the third quarter of 1994, and on the other hand to the use of import licences and the outlook for supply of the market and consumption within the Community during the third quarter of 1995, an indicative quantity should be fixed for each country of origin for the third quarter of 1995 at 29 % of the quantity allocated to it in the tariff quota to ensure adequate supplies to the Community as a whole;
Whereas, on the basis of the same data, the authorized quantity referred to in Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 which operators in categories A and B can apply for in respect of the third quarter of 1995 should be fixed; whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1219/95 (6) fixed the maximum quantity which operators established in Austria, Finland and Sweden can apply for in respect of the third quarter of 1995;
Whereas the indicative quantities provided for in Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 for the purposes of issuing import licences for traditional imports from ACP States should also be fixed;
Whereas this Regulation must enter into force prior to the period for the submission of licence applications in respect of the third quarter of 1995;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
For the Community as a whole for the third quarter of 1995, the indicative quantities provided for in Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 for imports of bananas under the tariff quota provided for in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall be 29 % of the quantities laid down for each country or group of countries mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 478/95.
The indicative quantities shall apply to import licence applications in respect of imports of bananas originating in Costa Rica and Colombia from operators in Categories A and C as well as Category B.

fixing, for the 1984/85 marketing year, the threshold prices for cereals and for certain classes of flour, groats and meal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that the threshold price for the principal cereals must be fixed in such a way that the selling price for imported products on the Duisburg market is the same as the target price; whereas this is achieved by deducting from the target price the most advantageous transport costs between Rotterdam and Duisburg, transhipment charges at Rotterdam and a trading margin; whereas the target prices have been fixed for the 1984/85 marketing year by Regulation (EEC) No 1019/84 (3);
Whereas the threshold prices for other cereals for which no target price is fixed must, in accordance with Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, be so determined that the target price for the principal cereals in competition with these products may be reached on the Duisburg market;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (5) of the abovementioned Regulation, the threshold prices for wheat flour, meslin flour and rye flour and for wheat groats and meal must be fixed according to the rules and for the standard qualities laid down in Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2734/75 (4);
Whereas the calculations made in accordance with those rules give the prices shown below;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the 1984/85 marketing year, the threshold prices for the products listed in Article 1 (a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (ECU/tonne) // common wheat and meslin // 254,05 // rye // 233,34 // barley // 231,27 // maize // 231,27 // durum wheat // 352,67 // oats // 222,48 // buckwheat // 231,27 // sorghum // 231,27 // millet // 231,27 // canary seed // 231,27 // wheat and meslin flour // 382,42 // rye flour // 355,68 // common wheat groats and meal // 413,01 // durum wheat groats and meal // 547,09
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as regards durum wheat and durum wheat groats and meal with effect from 1 July 1984 and as regards the other products with effect from 1 August 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 734/2009
of 11 August 2009
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1858/2005 on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia or not, and making such 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 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Articles 13(3), 14(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People’s Republic of China.
(2) The request was lodged on 29 June 2009 by the Liaison Committee of EU Wire Rope Industries (EWRIS) on behalf of the Community producers of steel ropes and cables.
2. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is steel ropes and cables including locked coil ropes, excluding ropes and cables of stainless steel, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 3 mm, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex ex 7312 10 81, ex ex 7312 10 83, ex ex 7312 10 85, ex ex 7312 10 89 and ex ex 7312 10 98 (the product concerned).
(4) The product under investigation is steel ropes and cables including locked coil ropes, excluding ropes and cables of stainless steel, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 3 mm, consigned from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia (the product under investigation), currently falling within the same codes as the product concerned.
3. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1858/2005 (2) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 283/2009 (3).
4. GROUNDS
(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment via the Republic of Korea and Malaysia of steel ropes and cables.
(7) The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea and Malaysia to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and that there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change.
(8) This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of steel ropes and cables originating in the People’s Republic of China via the Republic of Korea and Malaysia.
(9) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of steel ropes and cables from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increased volume of imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
(10) Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
(11) Should circumvention practices via the Republic of Korea and Malaysia covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.
5. PROCEDURE
(12) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
5.1. Questionnaires
(13) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Community and to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Malaysia. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.
(14) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(15) The authorities of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea and Malaysia will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
5.2. Collection of information and holding of hearings
(16) 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 and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
5.3. Exemption of registration of imports or measures
(17) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(18) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product under investigation that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
6. REGISTRATION
(19) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of such imports consigned from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia.
7. TIME LIMITS
(20) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
(21) 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 time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
8. NON-COOPERATION
(22) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(23) 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 facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
9. SCHEDULE FOR THE INVESTIGATION
(24) The investigation will be concluded, according to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
10. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(25) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4).
11. HEARING OFFICER
(26) It is also noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of their rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of DG Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this proceeding, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views. For further information and contact details, interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on the website of DG Trade (http://ec.europa.eu/trade),
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of steel ropes and cables including locked coil ropes, excluding ropes and cables of stainless steel, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 3 mm, consigned from the Republic of Korea and Malaysia or not, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia or not, currently falling within CN codes ex ex 7312 10 81, ex ex 7312 10 83, ex ex 7312 10 85, ex ex 7312 10 89 and ex ex 7312 10 98 (TARIC codes 7312108113, 7312108313, 7312108513, 7312108913 and 7312109813) are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1858/2005.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by Regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Producers in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time limit.
4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time limit.
5. Any information, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for exemption from registration of imports or measures must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (5) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

32011R1174 | Regulation (EU) No 1174/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 November 2011 on enforcement measures to correct excessive macroeconomic imbalances in the euro area
| 23.11.2011 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 306/8
REGULATION (EU) No 1174/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 16 November 2011
on enforcement measures to correct excessive macroeconomic imbalances in the euro area
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 136, in combination with Article 121(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1) The improved economic governance framework should rely on several interlinked and coherent policies for sustainable growth and jobs, in particular a Union strategy for growth and jobs, with particular focus upon developing and strengthening the internal market, fostering international trade and competitiveness, a European Semester for strengthened coordination of economic and budgetary policies, an effective framework for preventing and correcting excessive government deficits (the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP)), a robust framework for preventing and correcting macroeconomic imbalances, minimum requirements for national budgetary frameworks, and enhanced financial market regulation and supervision, including macroprudential supervision by the European Systemic Risk Board.
(2) Reliable statistical data is the basis for the surveillance of macroeconomic imbalances. In order to guarantee sound and independent statistics, Member States should ensure the professional independence of national statistical authorities, consistent with the European statistics code of practice as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics (4). In addition, the availability of sound fiscal data is also relevant for the surveillance of macroeconomic imbalances. This requirement should be guaranteed by the rules provided in this regard by Regulation (EU) No 1173/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 November 2011 on the effective enforcement of budgetary surveillance in the euro area (5), in particular its Article 8.
(3) The coordination of the economic policies of the Member States within the Union should be developed in the context of the broad economic policy guidelines and the employment guidelines, as provided for by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and should entail compliance with the guiding principles of stable prices, sound and sustainable public finances and monetary conditions and a sustainable balance of payments.
(4) Experience gained and mistakes made during the first decade of the economic and monetary union show a need for improved economic governance in the Union, which should be built on stronger national ownership of commonly agreed rules and policies and on a more robust framework at the level of the Union for the surveillance of national economic policies.
(5) Achieving and maintaining a dynamic internal market should be considered an element of the proper and smooth functioning of the economic and monetary union.
(6) In particular, surveillance of the economic policies of the Member States should be broadened beyond budgetary surveillance to include a more detailed and formal framework to prevent excessive macroeconomic imbalances and to help the Member States affected to establish corrective plans before divergences become entrenched and before economic and financial developments take a durable turn in an excessively unfavourable direction. Such broadening of the surveillance of economic policies should take place in parallel with a deepening of fiscal surveillance.
(7) To help correct such excessive macroeconomic imbalances, it is necessary to lay down a detailed procedure in legislation.
(8) It is appropriate to supplement the multilateral surveillance procedure referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 121 TFEU with specific rules for the detection of macroeconomic imbalances as well as the prevention and correction of excessive macroeconomic imbalances within the Union. It is essential that the procedure be embedded in the annual multilateral surveillance cycle.
(9) Strengthening economic governance should include a closer and more timely involvement of the European Parliament and the national parliaments. While recognising that the counterparts of the European Parliament in the framework of the dialogue are the relevant institutions of the Union and their representatives, the competent committee of the European Parliament may offer an opportunity to participate in an exchange of views to a Member State which is the subject of a Council decision imposing an interest-bearing deposit or an annual fine in accordance with this Regulation. The Member State's participation in such an exchange of views is voluntary.
(10) The Commission should have a stronger role in the enhanced surveillance procedure as regards assessments that are specific to each Member State, monitoring, on-site missions, recommendations and warnings.
(11) Enforcement of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 November 2011 on the prevention and correction of macroeconomic imbalances (6) should be strengthened by establishing interest-bearing deposits in case of non-compliance with the recommendation to take corrective action. Such deposits should be converted into an annual fine in the case of continued non-compliance with the recommendation to address excessive macroeconomic imbalances within the same imbalances procedure. Those enforcement measures should be applicable to Member States whose currency is the euro.
(12) In the case of failure to comply with Council recommendations, the interest-bearing deposit or the fine should be imposed until the Council establishes that the Member State has taken corrective action to comply with its recommendations.
(13) Moreover, repeated failure of the Member State to draw up a corrective action plan to address the Council recommendation should also be subject to an annual fine as a rule, until the Council establishes that the Member State has provided a corrective action plan that sufficiently addresses its recommendation.
(14) To ensure equal treatment between Member States, the interest-bearing deposit and the fine should be identical for all Member States whose currency is the euro and equal to 0,1 % of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the Member State concerned in the preceding year.
(15) The Commission should be able to recommend reducing the amount of a sanction or cancelling it on grounds of exceptional economic circumstances.
(16) The procedure for applying sanctions to those Member States which fail to take effective measures to correct excessive macroeconomic imbalances should be construed in such a way that the application of the sanctions to those Member States would be the rule and not the exception.
(17) Fines referred to in this Regulation should constitute other revenue, as referred to in Article 311 TFEU, and should be assigned to stability mechanisms to provide financial assistance, created by Member States whose currency is the euro in order to safeguard the stability of the euro area as a whole.
(18) The power to adopt individual decisions for the application of the sanctions provided for in this Regulation should be conferred on the Council. As part of the coordination of the economic policies of the Member States conducted within the Council as provided for in Article 121(1) TFEU, those individual decisions are an integral follow-up to the measures adopted by the Council in accordance with Article 121 TFEU and Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011.
(19) Since this Regulation contains general rules for the effective enforcement of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011, it should be adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure referred to in Article 121(6) TFEU.
(20) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the effective enforcement of the correction of excessive macroeconomic imbalances in the euro area, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because of the deep trade and financial interlinks between Member States and the spill-over effects of national economic policies on the Union and the euro area as a whole, and can therefore be better achieved at the level of the Union, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation lays down a system of sanctions for the effective correction of excessive macroeconomic imbalances in the euro area.
2. This Regulation shall apply to Member States whose currency is the euro.
Definitions

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3654/90 of 11 December 1990 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts applicable to cereals and rice during the second stage of the accession of Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3653/90 laying down transitional provisions for the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal(1) provides for the price of common wheat and of rice in Portugal to be different from the common price; whereas, pursuant to Article 240 of the Act of Acession, these price differences are to be offset by a system of accession compensatory amounts;
Whereas accession compensatory amounts are intended to prevent disturbances to trade resulting from price differences; whereas the application of compensatory amounts is therefore not required where such disturbances are unlikely to occur;
Whereas, in the cereals and rice sector, the prices to be taken into consideration are the intervention prices; whereas, however, following the amendments to the intervention arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals(2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1340/90(3), and in Council Regulation (EEC) N° 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1806/89(5), buying-in is to be carried out at a level lower than the intervention price; whereas that level, which henceforth constitutes the actual guarantee to the producer, must accordingly serve as the basis for calculating the accession compensatory amounts;
Whereas, in the case of products processed from cereals, the accession compensatory amounts must be calculated in accordance with Article 322 (2) of the Act of Accession as rectified(6); whereas the coefficients should be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75;
Whereas a certain amount of deflection of trade and distortion of competition may, in particular, occur in the final period of price alignment and when common prices are applied throughout the Community; whereas it is therefore justified that measures intended to prevent such defiection and distortion should apply for such time as is necessary,
For the purposes of this Regulation:
'accession compensatory amounts` means compensatory amounts applicable to trade between:
Portugal and the other Member States,
Portugal and third countries.
1. For each marketing year the accession compensatory amount shall be:
for common wheat, equal to the difference between the buying-in price applicable in Portugal and the buying-in price applicable in the other Member States,
for paddy rice, equal to the difference between the buying-in price applicable in Portugal and the buying-in price applicable in the other Member States; this difference may be corrected in order to ensure comparability of the products taken into consideration,
for husked rice, that applicable to paddy rice converted by means of the conversion rate referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation N° 467/67/EEC(7),
for wholly milled rice, that applicable to husked rice converted by means of the conversion rate referred to in Article 1 of Regulation N° 467/67/EEC,
for semi-milled rice, that applicable to wholly milled rice converted by means of the conversion rate referred to in Article 1 of Regulation N° 467/67/EEC,
for broken rice, equal to the difference between the price of broken rice recorded on the Portuguese market and the threshold price fixed for this product in the Community.
2. For the products referred to in Article 1 (c) and (d) of Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75, the accession compensatory amounts shall be derived from those applicable to the cereals to which they relate, with the help of coefficients to be determined on the basis of the impact on the price of the product concerned, of the application of the compensatory amount to the price of the corresponding basic product.
3. For the products referred to in Article 1 (c) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1418/76, the accession compensatory amounts shall be derived from those applicable to broken rice with the help of coefficients to be determined on the basis of the impact on the price of the product concerned of the application of the compensatory amount to the price of broken rice.
In trade between Portugal and the other Member States, the accession compensatory amounts shall be charged or granted by Portugal.
1. The accession compensatory amount applicable shall be that in force on the date of acceptance of the import or export declaration.
2. However, where necessary, a decision may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5 to introduce a system for the advance fixing of the accession compensatory amount.
1. The following shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75 or, as appropriate, Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) N° 1418/76:
(a)detailed rules for the granting and levying of accession compensatory amounts, particularly with a view to preventing deflection of trade and distortion of competition;
(b)the coefficients provided for in Article 2 (2) and (3);
(c)detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and in particular the fixing of accession compensatory amounts.
2. Measures to prevent deflections of trade and distortion of competition may be applied, for the period deemed necessary, after the abolition of the accession compensatory amounts.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas because of the outbreak of African swine fever in a production zone in the Netherlands, marketing of live pigs and pigmeat products which have not been subjected to heat treatment is temporarily prohibited in that region; whereas the production region in question has been defined by Commission Decision 86/139/EEC of 4 April 1986, concerning certain protection measures relating to African swine fever in the Netherlands (3), as amended by Decision 86/150/EEC (4);
Whereas, in order to take account of the limitations to free movement resulting from the situation, exceptional measures to support the market in that specific region must be taken;
Whereas the requirements of the heat treatment laid down in Decision 86/139/EEC are likely to seriously impede the disposal of meat produced in the region subject to restrictions on free movement; whereas, in addition, because of the high risk of contamination, such disposal is likely to create difficulties for the disposal of products originating in other regions of the Netherlands; whereas a rapid analysis will enable the infection zone to be reduced within a few weeks, thus reducing the impact of the exceptional measures taken; whereas in the circumstances, this part of pig production in the Netherlands should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption;
Whereas a buying-in price should be fixed at which the pigs are to be take over by the intervention agency; whereas that price should be based on the market price recorded in the Netherlands within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81 of 1 January 1981 establishing a list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community (5) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3799/85 (6), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 56/81 of 1 January 1981 on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcases refers (7), the price being derived from those for grade II carcases within the meaning of the Community scale for grading pig carcases laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2760/75 (8);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
As from 21 April until 7 June 1986, the intervention agency of the Netherlands shall buy live pigs weighing more than 105 kg on average per lot and, if the situation so requires, piglets weighing more than 20 kg on average per lot.
1. Only pigs raised in the communes referred to in the Annex shall be bought in.
2. Following completion of serological tests on all herds located in one or more of the communes referred to in the Annex, the outcome of which is that no new outbreak has occurred or no positive serological result been obtained, the communes considered to be free of the diesease shall be excluded from the infection zone with effect from the date on which notification of the outcome of the test is made to the Commission by the authorities of the Netherlands. The list which appears in the Annex shall be amended accordingly as from that date.
The pigs shall be delivered to Rotterdam-Overschie, weighed without delay on arrival, and processed into products coming under subheading 23.01 A and heading 15.06 of the Common Customs Tariff.
The transport and processing operations shall be carried out under the control of the veterinary authorities of the Netherlands.
1. The purchase price at farm gate of live pigs weighing more than 105 kg on average per lot shall be derived from the market price for slaughtered pigs of grade II, within the meaning of Regulations (EEC) No 2760/75, No 43/81 and (EEC) No 56/81, recorded in the Netherlands during the previous week, by application of the coefficient 0,83.
2. The price of piglets shall be 38,0 ECU per head.
3. The price at which the pigs are sold by the intervention agency of the Netherlands shall be 29,76 ECU per tonne.
The competent authorities of the Netherlands shall send the Commission each week the following information concerning the previous week:
- number and total weight of fattened pigs purchased,
- number and total weight of piglets purchased.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 21 April 1986.

of 27 May 1987
laying down interim protective measures in the fruit and vegetable sector as regards cauliflowers, tomatoes, peaches, apricots and lemons for June 1987
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 5 and 155 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 1351/86 (2),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to that Regulation; whereas the products in question, harvested in a given production year, are marketed, as regards:
- cauliflowers, from May to April of the following year,
- tomatoes, from January to December,
- peaches, from May to October,
- apricots, from May to August,
- lemons, from June to May of the following year;
Whereas, for those products in particular, the Council has not yet adopted the basic prices and the buying-in prices applicable from 1 June 1987; whereas the Commission, by virtue of the powers conferred on it by the Treaty, must take the necessary interim protective measures to ensure that the common agricultural policy continues to operate in the fruit and vegetables sector in question; whereas those measures are adopted as interim protective measures and without prejudice to the Council's prices decisions for 1987/88;
Whereas, under those interim protective measures, the continuity of the intervention arrangements provided for in Articles 15 and 19 of the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 must be ensured; whereas, to that end, the amounts to be used in calculating the prices at which the abovementioned intervention operations take place should be fixed for June 1987;
Whereas the amounts to be used correspond to the basic and buying-in prices laid down by the Commission in its proposals to the Council for the fixation of the prices applicable in the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas, in the present situation on the market for the products in question, the maintenance of the prices applied in the preceding year, even for a limited period, would actually be an incentive to buying in and would lead to an irreversible situation in view of the possibility of a fall in the prices to be adopted for the new marketing year; whereas, however, the amounts set out hereinafter are only an interim protective measure without prejudice to the prices decisions to be adopted subsequently by the Council;
Whereas Spain during the first stage, and Portugal, during the first stage, are authorized to maintain, in the fruit and vegetables sector, the rules in force under the previous national arrangements for the organization of their domestic agricultural markets under the conditions laid down in Articles 133 to 135 and 262 to 265 respectively of the Act of Accession; whereas, therefore, the amounts fixed in this Regulation are applicable only in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985,
The intervention operations provided for in Articles 15 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be carried out at prices determined on the basis of the following amounts:
1. For cauliflowers, for the period 1 to 30 June 1987,
- basic price: 24,97 ECU/100 kg net,
- buying-in price: 10,82 ECU/100 kg net.
Those amounts relate to packed 'trimmed' cauliflowers of Quality Grade I.
2. For tomatoes,
- basic price:
- from 11 to 20 June 1987: 28,45 ECU/100 kg net,
- from 21 to 30 June 1987: 25,91 ECU/100 kg net,
- buying-in price:
- from 11 to 20 June 1987: 10,82 ECU/100 kg net,
- from 21 to 30 June 1987: 10,06 ECU/100 kg net.
Those prices relate to packed 'round' and 'ribbed' tomatoes of Quality Grade I, size 57/67 mm.
3. For peaches (not including nectarines) for the period 1 to 30 June 1987,
- basic price: 45,38 ECU/100 kg net,
- buying-in price: 25,21 ECU/100 kg net.
Those prices relate to packed peaches of the Amaden, Cardinal, Charles Ingouf, Dixired, Jeronimo, J.H. Hale, Merril Gemfree, Michelini, Red Haven, San Lorenzo, Springcrest and Springtime varieties of Quality Grade I, size 61/67 mm.
4. For apricots, for the period 1 to 30 June 1987,
- basic price: 41,75 ECU/100 kg net,
- buying-in price: 23,78 ECU/100 kg net.
Those prices relate to packed apricots of Quality Grade I of a size over 30 mm.
5. For lemons, for the period 1 to 30 June 1987,
- basic price: 43,72 ECU/100 kg net,
- buying-in price: 25,69 ECU/100 kg net.
Those prices relate to packed lemons of Quality Grade I, size 53/62 mm.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1987.
The provisions of this Regulation shall apply without prejudice to the decisions to be adopted by the Council, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organizatio of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (2), and in particular Article 22b thereof,
Whereas Article 22b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides for the possibility of introducing a system of import licences for certain products which prove to be sensitive and which are imported in relatively substantial quantities;
Whereas traditional import flows of cherries are rising sharply and as a consequence measures should be adopted for imports of that product to be monitored closely;
Whereas the most suitable means of achieving that objective is to introduce a system of import licences requiring a certain period to elapse between the time the application is submitted and the licence is actually issued and entailing the lodging of a security in line with the value of the product in order to ensure compliance by operators with their obligations; whereas the term of validity of licences must take account of the features of the market for the product concerned;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2101/92 (4), should apply;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruits and Vegetables,
Cherries (CN codes 0809 20 20, 0809 20 40, 0809 20 60 and 0809 20 80) shall be released for free circulation in the Community subject to the presentation of import licences issued by the Member States concerned to all parties concerned who apply therefor, whatever their place of establishment in the Community, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3.
1. Import licences shall be issued subject to the lodging of a security of ECU 0,4 per 100 kg net weight. The security shall be forfeited in full or in part if the quantities stipulated in the licence are not released for free circulation or only part thereof is released during the term of validity of the licence.
2. Import licences shall be valid for five days from their date of issue as defined in Article 3 (2).
1. Section 8 of import licence applications and import licences shall show the country of origin of the product. Import licences shall only be valid for products originating in the country shown in Section 8 thereof.
2. Import licences shall be issued on the third working day following the day on which the application is lodged unless measures are taken within that time.
However, import licences applied for by or on the third working day following the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall be issued forthwith.
The Member States shall notify the Commission of:
1. the quantities covered by import licence applications in respect of the CN code concerned, broken down by country of origin.
That information shall be notified as follows:
- every Wednesday, in respect of applications lodged on the Monday or Tuesday of that week,
- every Friday, in respect of applications lodged on the Wednesday or Thursday of that week,
- every Monday, in respect of applications lodged on the Friday of the preceding week;
2. the quantities covered be unused or partly used import licences, corresponding to the differences between the quantities entered on the back of the licences and the quantities for which they were issued.
That information shall be notified every Wednesday, in respect of data received the previous week.
If no import licence applications have been submitted in one of the periods referred in point 1 or if there are no unused or partly-used licences as referred to in point 2, the Member State in question shall notify the Commission thereof on the days indicated in this Article.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following this of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (2), lays down quotas for 2014.
(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 2014.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2014 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for 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 shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3488/89 of 21 November 1989 laying down the method of decision for certain provisions laid down for agricultural products in the framework of Mediterranean agreements (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the agreements concluded with various Mediterranean third countries, the Community may decide that the entry prices for certain fruit and vegetables originating in such countries should vary, taking account of the annual reviews of trade flows by product and country pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 1989 concerning the procedure to be applied to certain agricultural products originating in various Mediterranean third countries (2);
Whereas an examination of the outlook for export flows from Mediterranean third countries in the light of the overall trend on the Community market points to the need for the entry prices for oranges, clementines, mandarins and other similar citrus hybrids, lemons and tomatoes to vary;
Whereas the variation in the entry price must, for each product concerned, relate to the amount to be deducted as customs duties from the representative prices recorded in the Community for the calculation of the entry price referred to in Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1754/92 (4); whereas, depending on the product and origin, reductions, as appropriate, of one-half or two-thirds during trading periods will enable the desired objective to be attained; whereas such reductions must apply within the quantitative limits determined, in accordance with the Mediterranean agreements;
Whereas this variation in the entry prices is to apply in respect of specific quantities which must be entered in the accounts during the periods laid down in the agreements; whereas such entry in the accounts must take place through the statistical monitoring introduced for the administration of quotas;
Whereas provision should however be made for a Community surveillance system for tomatoes from Morocco imported into the Community in May given the lack of a quota for that period;
Whereas the Commission must inform the Member States as soon as the quantities laid down in the Mediterranean agreements and quoted in this Regulation have been reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the purpose of calculating the entry prices referred to in Article 24 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for products originating in the Mediterranean countries mentioned in the Annex hereto, the amount to be deducted as customs duties from the recorded representative prices shall be reduced by the percentage indicated in the Annex during the periods and subject to the maximum quantities specified therein.
1. Fresh or chilled tomatoes falling within CN code 0702 00 and originating in Morocco shall be subject to Community surveillance during the month of May.
2. Deductions shall be made from the specified quantities when products are presented to the customs authorities for release for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Goods may be deducted from the specified quantity only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which these preferential arrangements cease to apply.
The extent to which a specified quantity is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports deducted from it as specified in the first and second subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 3, of imports effected in accordance with the rules set out above.
3. With respect to imports effected, Member States shall send the Commission statements of the deducted quantities every 10 days, to be forwarded within five days from the end of each 10-day period.
4. As soon as the quantities specified in the Annex have been reached, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which these preferential arrangements shall cease to apply.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely with a view to implementing this Regulation and in particular, where the need arises, to coordinating the system for administering the tariff quotas.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76 (2) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) As the standing invitations to tender for the export refunds on rice have ended for this year, refunds in ordinary law for this product need no longer be fixed. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is hereby suspended.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries and amending Directive 2004/35/EC (1), and in particular Article 22(1)(e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/21/EC provides for waste characterisation as part of the waste management plan, which has to be drawn up by the operator of extractive industries and approved by the competent authority. Annex II of that Directive provides a list of certain aspects to be included in the waste characterisation.
(2) The purpose of the characterisation of extractive waste is to obtain the relevant information on the waste to be managed in order to be able to assess and monitor its properties, behaviour and characteristics and thereby ensure that it is managed under environmentally safe conditions in the long term. Furthermore, the characterisation of extractive waste should facilitate the determination of the options for managing such waste and the related mitigation measures in order to protect human health and the environment.
(3) The necessary information and data for the characterisation of extractive waste should be collected on the basis of existing relevant and appropriate information or, if needed, by sampling and testing. It should be ensured that information and data for waste characterisation are appropriate, of adequate quality and representative of the waste. This information should be duly justified in the waste management plan to the full satisfaction of the competent authority.
(4) The level of detail of information to be gathered and the related sampling or testing needs should be adapted to the type of waste, the potential environmental risks, and the intended waste facility. From a technical point of view, it should be made possible to adopt an iterative approach to ensure appropriate waste characterisation.
(5) From a technical point of view, it is appropriate to exempt waste defined as inert in accordance with the criteria laid down in Commission Decision 2009/359/EC (2) from part of the geochemical testing.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
Waste characterisation
1. Member States shall ensure that the waste characterisation to be carried out by operators in the extractive industries complies with this Decision.
2. Waste characterisation shall cover the following categories of information as specified in the Annex:
(a) background information;
(b) geological background of deposit to be exploited;
(c) nature of the waste and its intended handling;
(d) geotechnical behaviour of the waste;
(e) geochemical characteristics and behaviour of the waste.
3. The criteria for defining inert waste laid down in Decision 2009/359/EC shall be taken into account for the purpose of assessing the geochemical behaviour of waste. Where, on the basis of those criteria, waste is considered to be ‘inert’, it shall be only subject to the relevant part of geochemical testing referred to in point 5 of the Annex.
Collection and evaluation of information
1. Information and data necessary for the waste characterisation shall be collected in the order set out in paragraphs 2 to 5.
2. Existing investigations and studies, including existing permits, geological surveys, similar sites, lists of inert waste, appropriate certification schemes, European or national standards for similar material, which satisfy the technical requirements set out in the Annex shall be used.
3. The quality and representativity of all information shall be evaluated and possible missing information shall be identified.
4. Where information necessary for the characterisation of the waste is missing, a sampling plan shall be drawn up in accordance with standard EN 14899 and samples shall be taken in accordance with that sampling plan. Sampling plans shall be based on identified information as necessary, including:
(a) purpose of data collection,
(b) testing programme and sampling requirements,
(c) sampling situations, including sampling from drill-cores, excavation face, conveyor belt, heap, pond, or other relevant situation,
(d) procedures and recommendations for sample numbers, size, mass, description and handling.
The reliability and quality of the sampling results shall be evaluated.
5. The results of the characterisation process shall be evaluated. Where necessary, additional information shall be collected following the same methodology. The final result shall feed into the waste management plan.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 7 November 1980 approving aids from the Federal Republic of Germany to the coal-mining industry during 1979 (Only the German text is authentic) (80/1279/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of the coal industry in 1979 ; whereas of these measures the following may be approved pursuant to that Decision: >PIC FILE= "T0035425"> >PIC FILE= "T0035438">
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
Whereas the investment of DM 746 600 000 is proposed for investment projects for mines, coking plants, briquette works and pit-head power stations ; whereas the percentage of all investment covered by investment aid is more than 80 %;
Whereas in relation to the Community's new policy for coal, this 1979 investment aid, which increased slightly vis-Ă -vis 1978, is to be regarded as beneficial since it will promote the long-term stabilization of production (1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1. in the German coalfields. The aid complies with the provisions of Article 7 (1) of the Decision;
Whereas, the purpose and amount of the aid in question shows that, pursuant to Article 7 (5) of the Decision, the Federal Government must notify the Commission at least once a year, in respect of each project in the programme which it has decided to carry out, of the aims pursued, the sums invested and the amounts of the aid;
Whereas the sum of DM 68 000 000 to promote innovation is intended to ensure that research results are applied to production as quickly as possible ; whereas the aid is lower than the costs borne by the undertakings and is granted in respect of individual projects which, when completed, are likely to prove their economic worth to coal-mining in the medium term ; whereas the purpose and amount of this aid show that it is compatible with the third subparagraph of Article 7 (3) of the Decision;
Whereas the aid of DM 110 000 000 towards the payment of the coal-winning premium helps the coal industry to secure a stable, skilled workforce, which is imperative if its productivity is to increase ; whereas the undertakings moreover incur expenditure on the necessary recruitment, training, retraining and retention of workers which is several times the amount of aid in the form of this premium;
Whereas the purpose and amount of the coal-mining premium show that this measure is compatible with Article 8 of the Decision;
Whereas the aid of DM 121 500 000 for the building-up of long-term security stocks is a measure by the Federal Government to increase the long-term security of energy supply ; whereas to this end, the emergency association of German mining industries has purchased 10 million tonnes of coal and coke ; whereas the aid proposed by the Federal Government for this purpose covers only part of the actual current cost of maintaining these stocks;
Whereas the purpose and amount of the aid show that this measure is compatible with Article 10 of the Decision;
II
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, an examination of the compatibility of the abovementioned aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1979;
Whereas on this basis the total cost of the proposed measures amounts to 1 023 500 000 European units of account i.e. 10 798 European units of account per tonne produced ; whereas, compared with other Member States, current production in the Federal Republic of Germany is more heavily subsidized (per tonne) than in the United Kingdom and substantially less than in France and Belgium;
Whereas the following remarks can be made on the compatibility of these aids for current production with the proper functioning of the common market: - owing to the large stocks of coal and coke on hand there were no supply difficulties in 1979,
- the level of exports of German coal to the other Member States fell in 1979 compared with 1978,
- price alignment agreements were hardly entered into in 1979,
- industrial consumers of coal did not receive indirect aid in 1979 as a result of the prices of German coking coal and steam coal,
- rationalization of production in 1979 was achieved by heavy investment and the closure of two unprofitable pits;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the German aids for current production in the coal industry in 1979 are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this applies even when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof ; whereas the Commission must be informed, in particular, of the amount of the aids and of the manner in which they were apportioned,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized in respect of the 1979 calendar year to grant the following aids to the coal industry: 1. grant of investment aid not exceeding DM 746 600 000 to undertakings in the coal industry in order to increase investment;
2. promotion of development and innovation not exceeding DM 68 000 000;
3. payment of premiums to shift-paid workers and piece workers for each shift worked underground, not exceeding DM 110 000 000;
4. aid not exceeding DM 121 500 000 for the build-up of long-term security stocks.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission by 31 December 1980 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) Food additives may be approved for use in foodstuffs only if they comply with Annex II to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption(3).
(2) Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners(4) lays down a list of food additives that may be used in the Community and the conditions for their use.
(3) There have been technical developments in the field of food additives since the adoption of Directive 95/2/EC. That Directive should be adapted to take account of those developments.
(4) Council Directive 88/388/EEC of 22 June 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to flavourings for use in foodstuffs and to source materials for their production(5) provides for the adoption of a list of additives necessary for the storage and use of flavourings, and the adoption of any special conditions for the use of such additives that may be necessary for the protection of public health and to ensure fair trade.
(5) It is desirable to incorporate into Directive 95/2/EC those measures on additives necessary for the storage and use of flavourings, in order to contribute to transparency and consistency of Community legislation, and to facilitate compliance with Community legislation on food additives by food manufacturers, especially by small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, according to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety(6), flavourings fall within the definition of "food".
(6) While the use of additives which are necessary to ensure the safety and quality of flavourings and to facilitate their storage and use should be authorised, the levels of additives present in such flavourings should be the minimum required to achieve the intended purpose. In addition, consumers should be guaranteed correct, adequate and non-misleading information on the use of additives.
(7) The presence of an additive in a foodstuff, due to the use of a flavouring, is generally low and the additive does not have a technological function in the foodstuff. However, if under certain circumstances the additive does have a technological function in the compound foodstuff, it should be considered as an additive of the compound foodstuff and not as an additive of the flavouring, and the relevant rules relating to the additive in the particular foodstuff should apply, including the labelling rules laid down in Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs(7).
(8) In accordance with Directive 88/388/EEC, food manufacturers should be informed about the concentrations of all additives in flavourings in order to enable them to comply with Community legislation. That Directive also requires quantitative labelling of each component subject to a quantitative limitation in a foodstuff. A quantitative limitation is expressed either numerically or by the "quantum satis" principle.
(9) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of ensuring market unity and a high level of consumer protection to lay down rules on the use of additives in flavourings. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.
(10) In accordance with a request from a Member State and the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Food, established by Commission Decision 97/579/EC of 23 July 1997 setting up Scientific Committees in the field of consumer health and food safety(8), hydrogenated poly-1-decene, which was authorised at national level under Directive 89/107/EEC, should be authorised at Community level.
(11) Biphenyl (E 230), orthophenyl phenol (E 231) and sodium orthophenyl phenol (E 232) are listed as preservatives in and on citrus fruits in Directive 95/2/EC. However, they fall under the definition of "plant protection products" in Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(9). Therefore, they should no longer come within the scope of Directive 95/2/EC. The Member States and the Commission should take all possible steps to ensure that there is no legal vacuum with regard to these substances. Authorisation to place on the market these substances as plant protection products should be dealt with as swiftly as possible.
(12) On 4 April 2003, the Scientific Committee on Food stated that the temporary acceptable daily intake for E 214 to E 219 p-hydroxybenzoic acid alkyl esters and their sodium salts should be withdrawn if no further data are submitted in respect of intake and toxicity.
(13) Directive 95/2/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) Council Directive 67/427/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the use of certain preservatives for the surface treatment of citrus fruit and on the control measures to be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of preservatives in and on citrus fruit(10) lays down the control measures on preservatives in and on citrus fruits. Since those preservatives are no longer authorised for use in citrus fruits by Directive 95/2/EC, it is necessary to repeal Directive 67/427/EEC.
(15) The Scientific Committee on Food has been consulted on the adoption of provisions that may have an effect upon public health, pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 89/107/EEC,
Directive 95/2/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1(3)(v) shall be replaced by the following:
"(v) 'stabilisers' are substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of a foodstuff; stabilisers include substances which enable the maintenance of a homogenous dispersion of two or more immiscible substances in a foodstuff, substances which stabilise, retain or intensify an existing colour of a foodstuff and substances which increase the binding capacity of the food, including the formation of cross-links between proteins enabling the binding of food pieces into re-constituted food;"
2. Article 3 shall be amended as follows:

"1. The presence of a food additive is permissible:
(a) in a compound foodstuff other than one mentioned in Article 2(3), to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in one of the ingredients of the compound foodstuff;
(b) in a foodstuff where a flavouring has been added, to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in the flavouring in compliance with this Directive and has been carried over to the foodstuff via the flavouring, provided the food additive has no technological function in the final foodstuff; or
(c) if the foodstuff is destined to be used solely in the preparation of a compound foodstuff and to an extent such that the compound foodstuff conforms to the provisions of this Directive.";
(b) the following paragraph shall be added:
"3. The level of additives in flavourings shall be limited to the minimum necessary to guarantee the safety and quality of flavourings and to facilitate their storage.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 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 1351/86 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas lemons are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas lemons harvested during a given crop year are marketed from June to May of the next year; whereas reference prices should therefore be fixed for the period 1 June to 31 May of the following year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State with regard to Article 23 plus transport costs in part for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1986/87 marketing year, the reference prices for fresh lemons falling within subheading 08.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- June: 52,64

Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(s) and listed in Part XIX of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Union may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part V of Annex XX to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 578/2010 of 29 June 2010 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1216/2009 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part V of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) No 578/2010, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 162(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 659/2010 (3). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

Whereas classification of the goods listed in the Annex to Council Directive 83/181/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 88/331/EEC (4), is based on the use of the nomenclature of the Customs Cooperation Council;
Whereas the Customs Cooperation Council approved the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (hereafter referred to as the 'HS'); whereas that Convention was approved by the Council by Decision 87/369/EEC (5) and has been applied since 1 January 1988; whereas a combined nomenclature has accordingly been established to give effect to the HS within the European Economic Community; whereas the references in Article 1 (2) (d) and in the Annex to Directive 83/181/EEC should therefore be based on the said combined nomenclature;

Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the "least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety", This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsability of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. Therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures should be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III. The procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annexes III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory production system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products and families of products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in the mandates for guidelines for European technical approval.

of 16 March 1987
concerning the stopping of fishing for cod by vessels flying the flag of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4027/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86 (3) allocates among the Member States the 1987 catch quotas in the Canadian fishery zone available to the Communtiy under the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of Canada (4);
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of that part of NAFO divisions 2 J and 3 KL which falls within the fisheries jurisdiction of Canada by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany have reached the limit imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86; and whereas it is therefore necessary for catches of cod by those vessels in those waters under that Regulation to be prohibited; whereas Germany has prohibited fishing for this fish as from 6 March 1987; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date;
Whereas, however, this prohibition is without prejudice to the fishing possibilities of Community vessels in waters forming part of the NAFO Convention Area and falling outside the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Canada,
Catches of cod in that part of NAFO divisions 2 J and 3 KL which falls within the fisheries jurisdiction of Canada by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany are deemed to have exhausted the allocation available to Germany by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86.
Fishing for cod in the abovementioned area under Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86 by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such fish captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 6 March 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL DECISION of 23 October 1995 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to conclude an agreement with the Republic of Poland containing measures derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (95/435/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 30 of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to conclude with a non-member country or an international organization an agreement which may contain derogations from the said Directive;
Whereas, by letter officially received by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 20 January 1995, the German Government requested authorization to conclude an agreement with Poland concerning the link-up of the German road B97 and the Polish road 274, and the construction of a frontier bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area, which contains derogations from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive as regards the construction of the frontier bridge;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 February 1995 of the German request;
Whereas, in the absence of derogations, the construction work carried out on German territory would be subject to VAT in Germany while that carried out on Polish territory would be outside the scope of the Sixth Directive and whereas, in addition, each importation from Poland into Germany of goods used for the construction of the frontier bridge would be subject to VAT in Germany;
Whereas the purpose of these derogations is to simplify the rules of taxation for the contractors carrying out the construction work on the frontier bridge in question;
Whereas the derogations will have only a negligible effect on the own resources of the European Communities accruing from value added tax,
The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to conclude an agreement with the Republic of Poland concerning the link-up of the German road B97 and the Polish road 274 and the construction of a frontier bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area and containing measures derogating from the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC. These derogations are defined in Articles 2 and 3 of this Decision.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of the Sixth Directive, that part of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany in the region of Guben in which work to construct a frontier bridge across the Neisse linking German road B97 and Polish national road 274 is carried out shall be deemed to be part of the territory of the Republic of Poland for the purposes of supplies of goods and services intended for use in the construction of that bridge.
By way of derogation from point 2 of Article 2 of the Sixth Directive, the importation of goods into Germany from Poland shall not be subject to value added tax insofar as those goods are used for the construction of a frontier bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area linking German road B97 and Polish road 274. However, this derogation shall not apply to importations of goods effected by a public authority.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 448/98 of 16 February 1998 completing and amending Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 with respect to the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) within the European System of national and regional Accounts (ESA)(1) and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European System of national and regional accounts in the Community(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 359/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), (hereafter "the ESA 95") contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 448/98, in its Annex I, amended Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 in order to introduce in the ESA 95 methodology the principle for allocating FISIM and set up experimental methods of allocating FISIM which were to be tested by Member States from 1995 to 2001, the trial period being sufficiently long to evaluate whether the allocation yielded more reliable results than the present zero allocation for the correct measurement of the economic activity concerned.
(3) In accordance with Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 448/98, a final report has been presented on 21 June 2002 by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council, containing a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the implications of the experimental methods for allocating and calculating FISIM. This final report concluded that the results of the trial period were positive, as it is broadly recognised that the allocation of FISIM would lead to major improvements in the methodology of the ESA 95 and to a more accurate comparison of gross domestic product (GDP) levels within the European Union.
(4) Since the findings of the final evaluation report on the reliability of the results obtained during the trial period have been positive, the method to be used for the allocation of FISIM must be adopted before 31 December 2002 in accordance with Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 448/98.
(5) In its final report presented to the European Parliament and the Council, the Commission considered that two additional years could be useful in order to enable Member States to make further improvements in the sources and methods used for the allocation of FISIM.
(6) The Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics (CMFB), set up by Council Decision 91/115/EEC(4), as amended by Decision 96/174/EC(5), has been consulted.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC),
1. Member States shall carry out the following calculations and allocations in accordance with the detailed methodology described in Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 448/98:
(a) the calculation and allocation of FISIM among user sectors, using the reference rate defined as "method 1" in point 1(b) of Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) no 448/98;
(b) the calculation and allocation of imported and exported FISIM (including FISIM between resident financial intermediaries and non-resident financial intermediaries), using the reference rate defined as the "external" reference rate in point 1(b) of Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) no 448/98;
(c) the allocation of FISIM among user industries, based on the stocks of loans and deposits for each industry or, if this information is not reliable, on the output for each industry;
(d) the calculation of FISIM at constant prices, on the basis of the formula provided in point 3 of Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 448/98.
2. Member States shall transmit to the Commission the results of the calculations made pursuant to this Article as part of the tables referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 (Transmission programme of national accounts data), including backwards calculations from 1995 onwards.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 January 2005.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (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 (6) to 9 (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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; 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 adopt 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 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 13,571 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C(96) 4159/2 of 18 December 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 16 September 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Bourgogne; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
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 (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (11), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission has verified the respect of the additionality;
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;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/1 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of France;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Bourgogne concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
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 France;
the main priorities are:
1. to encourage the development of economic activities,

3. to develop human resources,
4. to strengthen environmental protection,

- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the single programming document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
2. To this global maximum allocation is added an amount of ECU 13,571 million not subject to indexation, resulting from unused appropriations of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996.
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 69,702 million.
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 86,683 million for the public sector and ECU 48,407 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 58,839 million,
- ESF: ECU 10,863 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 18,838 million,
- ESF: ECU 3,477 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
3. Payments subsequent to the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 shall be subject to confirmation by the Commission of the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
This Decision is ruled by the provisions laid down in the Annex to Decision C(97) 1035/1.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1a of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76, special rates are used to convert the free-at-frontier reference prices for imported liqueur wines into national currency; whereas the special rates applicable at present were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3274/85 (6);
Whereas Article 1a (3) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76 provides that the special rate for a currency other than those maintained at any given moment within a maximum spread of 2,25 % is to be revised when, for a period of 20 working days, its conversion rate moves away by an average of not less than 10 % from the special rate previously fixed for the currency in question; whereas that condition has been fulfilled for the pound sterling; whereas application of these provisions makes it necessary to alter the special rate for the pound sterling;
Whereas under the terms of Council Regulations (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (7), and in particular of Article 6 (2) thereof, the central rates and the market rates are to be multiplied by a corrective factor of 1,035239,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The additive lasalocid A sodium (Avatec 15 %) was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). This additive is currently authorised in the group ‘coccidiostats’ for turkeys by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 (3) and chickens reared for laying and chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1455/2004 (4). This additive has been notified as existing product on the basis of Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and is subject to the verifications and the procedures in application of that provision.
(2) The company concerned submitted a new supplementary dossier requesting a modification of existing carrier.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility to modify the authorisation of an additive further to an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) on whether the authorisation still meets the conditions set out in that Regulation.
(4) The Commission asked the Authority to evaluate the relevant data supporting the application for the change of authorisation referred to in Regulations (EC) Nos 2430/1999 and 1455/2004 and to advise on the possible harmful effects on safety and efficacy when lasalocid A sodium is used by new carrier. Following this request, the Authority has published on 26 August 2005 an opinion on the use of lasalocid A sodium in feedingstuffs.
(5) The opinion of the Authority concludes that the use of the new formulation would not be expected to introduce any additional risks or concerns for human, animal and environmental safety and that the new formulation does not adversely influence the stability of lasalocid A sodium.
(6) A Maximum Residue Level (MRL) for substance concerned has been established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 (5) laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue levels of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin.
(7) Regulations (EC) Nos 2430/1999 and 1455/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999, the entry relating to E 763, lasalocid A sodium, is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Regulation.
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1455/2004 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/2003(3) fixes the indicative quantities for which system B export licences may be issued.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for tomatoes will shortly be exceeded.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In June 2000, the Commission received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping by imports of colour television receivers (CTVs) originating in or exported from Turkey.
(2) The complaint was lodged by the Producers of European Televisions in Cooperation (Poetic) acting on behalf of Community producers representing a major proportion of the total Community production of CTVs pursuant to Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the basic Regulation).
(3) The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(4) The Commission, after consultation, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3), accordingly initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of CTVs, currently classifiable within CN codes ex 8528 12 52, 8528 12 54, 8528 12 56, 8528 12 58, ex 8528 12 62 and 8528 12 66 and originating in or exported from Turkey.
(5) It should be noted that in April 2000, two review investigations under Article 11(2) and (3) of the basic Regulation had been initiated regarding the anti- dumping measures applicable to imports of CTVs originating in the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand(4).
(6) The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers and representative associations of importers or exporters known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, the representative consumer organisations and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(7) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of its investigation. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
(a) Community producers
Tecnimagen SA, Barcelona, Spain,
Grundig AG, Nuremberg, Germany,
Philips Consumer Electronics, Eindhoven, The Netherlands,
Industrie Formenti Italia Spa, Lissone, Italy,
Seleco Formenti Spa, Pordenone, Italy;
(b) Exporters/producers and related sales companies in Turkey
Profile Telra Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret AS, Istanbul (including the related sales companies PRO-EKS Dis Ticaret AS, Istanbul, Savunma Gerecleri AS, Istanbul, Elektrotem Elektronik Aletler Limited, Istanbul),

Beko Electronics Espana SL, Barcelona, Spain,
Vestel Holland BV, Rotterdam, Netherlands,
Vestel Iberia, Madrid, Spain;
(d) Unrelated importers in the Community
Alba plc Barking, United Kingdom.
B. FINDINGS ON ORIGIN
(8) CTVs frequently incorporate components and parts originating in countries other than the country of manufacture or assembly of the finished product, with the result that CTVs may be considered as originating in a country other than the country of manufacture or assembly. Thus, in accordance with the Community's consistent practice and pursuant to Article 1(3) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the origin of the CTVs exported from Turkey formed part of the anti-dumping investigation.
(9) Origin was examined in the light of Article 22 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(5) of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code, which establishes that the non-preferential rules of origin apply to all non-preferential commercial policy instruments, such as anti-dumping.
(10) In accordance with Article 39 and Annex 11 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(6) laying down provisions for the implementation of the Community Customs code, specific non-preferential rules of origin apply for CTVs. According to these rules, a CTV is considered to originate in the country where the added value of the assembly operations, and, if applicable, the incorporation of parts originating in the country of assembly represents at least 45 % of the ex-works price of the CTV. When the 45 % rule is not met, the CTV originates in the country of origin of parts whose ex-works price represents more than 35 % of the ex-works price of the CTV.
(11) When applying the specific non-preferential origin rules in the present investigation, it was established that the origin of all CTVs exported to the Community between 1 July 1999 and 30 June 2000 (investigation period or IP) was other than Turkish. Exports to the Community were instead found to have their origin in the exporting countries subjected to the review investigations mentioned in recital 5, the Community or other third countries not subject to any investigation. In particular, it was found that for the exports of the investigated companies which correspond to all exports of CTVs from Turkey to the Community during the IP, the 45 % added value rule was not met. Thus, the origin had to be determined on the basis of the 35 % value rule of the non-originating parts/materials.
(12) On the basis of the 35 % value rule of the non-originating parts/materials it was established that the origin of the cathode-ray colour television picture tube (CPT) virtually determined the origin of the CTVs, since the ex-works price of the CPT represented, in all cases, at least 35 % of the ex-works price of the CTV. It should be noted that there is no production of CPTs in Turkey and, therefore, all CPTs are imported. Accordingly, the origin examination concluded that the CTVs exported from Turkey during the IP were of the origins of the CPTs used in their assembly.
C. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(13) In view of the above findings on origin, the Commission concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of CTVs originating in Turkey should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures.
(14) All interested parties received disclosure of the findings on origin and were given an opportunity to comment and to be heard. One interested party contested the applicability of the non-preferential rules of origin in the case of Turkey, given the EC-Turkey Customs Union. However, neither Decision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union(7), nor the Community Customs Code provides for a derogation from the applicability of the non-preferential rules of origin in the case of imports from countries which are in a customs union with the Community.
(15) Finally, the Community industry argued that the origin criteria was irrelevant since the basic Regulation allowed the imposition of anti-dumping measures on the basis of the country of provenance. It should be noted that it is the consistent practice of the Community to impose anti-dumping measures solely on products originating in a third country. This was also the case in previous investigation on imports of the same product(8),
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of colour television receivers currently classifiable within CN codes ex 8528 12 52, 8528 12 54, 8528 12 56, 8528 12 58, ex 8528 12 62 and 8528 12 66 and originating in Turkey is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2012/44/EU (3) lays down rules on veterinary checks to be carried out on live animals and products of animal origin entering certain French overseas departments from third countries, including a list of authorised entry points (‘the list of authorised entry points’).
(2) France has submitted a plan to the Commission for an authorised entry point located in the French overseas department of Mayotte. That plan details the facilities, the necessary equipment and the trained staff to carry out the veterinary checks to verify that Union public and animal health requirements for products of animal origin are met.
(3) In addition, that plan demonstrates that all consignments of products of animal origin are required to be presented for import at the authorised entry point and that their dispatch into other parts of Union territory is effectively prevented. It also shows that the specific requirements laid down in Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Implementing Decision 2012/44/EU are met.
(4) The entry point of the French overseas department of Mayotte should therefore be added to the list of authorised entry points, as regards certain products of animal origin.
(5) Article 1 and the Annex to Implementing Decision 2012/44/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Implementing Decision 2012/44/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) In the Annex, the following entry for Mayotte is added after the entry for French Guiana — St Georges de l'Oyapock in the list of authorised entry points:
‘Mayotte — Longoni FR09900 P HC, NHC-NT’

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 75 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Act of Accession provides for the possibility of suppressing the customs duties and other components applicable to trade of agricultural products between Spain and the Community of Ten; that the same dispositions allow for an accelerated alignment of customs duties from Spain to the Common Customs Tariff; that the same rule is applicable under Article 78 of the Act for the reduction in Spain of the fixed components designed to ensure the protection of the processing industry;
Whereas Spain has put a request in this direction;
Whereas the completion of the single market without internal frontiers as from 1 January 1993 makes necessary the suppression of customs duties and other components to trade between the Community of Ten and Spain and the application of the same import customs duties to trade with non-member countries;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all Management Committees concerned,
1. From 1 January 1993:
- Spain suppresses trade with the Community of Ten of products subject to common organization of the market, customs duties and fixed components intended to ensure protection of the processing industry,
- customs duties and fixed components intended to ensure protection of the processing industry applicable by the Community of Ten on imports from Spain are suppressed.
2. From 1 January 1993 Spain applies the customs duties applicable by the Community of Ten to trade with non-member countries.

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 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49755) and endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49754) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1091/2009 of 13 November 2009 concerning the authorisation of an enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49755) and endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49754) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of authorisation Aveve NV) (2).
(2) The holder of the authorisation submitted an application for changing the terms of the authorisation of this feed additive when used in chickens for fattening by reducing the minimum recommended dose of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49755) and endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (MUCL 49754) from 4 000 XU (3)/kg and 900 BGU (4)/kg to 2 000 XU/kg and 450 BGU/kg. That application was accompanied by the relevant data supporting the request for the change.
(3) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 10 November 2010 that the data provided from three trials in chickens for fattening do not support the reduction of the minimum recommended dose from 4 000 XU and 900 BGU/kg feed to 2 000 XU and 450 BGU/kg feed because analyses of the feeds showed that the intended doses were considerably exceeded. However, the data showed that the product is efficacious at a lower dose than the one currently authorised. According to the Authority the data indicates, as an approximation, that 3 000 XU and 600 BGU/kg feed has the potential to improve growth rate and feed to gain ratio in chickens for fattening (5).
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1091/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) 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 Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1091/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

(2003/42/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(1), as last amended by Directive 2002/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Specific public health conditions for the preparation of collagen intended for human consumption should be laid down. Provided that these conditions are the same for collagen intended for human consumption and collagen not intended for human consumption, and provided that hygiene conditions are also the same, it should be possible to produce and/or store both types of collagen in the same establishment.
(2) The authorisation and registration, inspection and hygiene conditions for the establishments preparing collagen should be set. Certain health conditions contained in Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin(3), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(4), and in Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(5), are relevant for the preparation of collagen.
(3) Article 2.3.13.7 of the International Animal Health Code (2001) issued by the International Office of Epizootics on BSE recommends that if gelatine and collagen are prepared exclusively from hides and skins, veterinary administrations should authorise their import and transit through their territories without restriction, regardless of the status of the exporting countries.
(4) Under Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies(6), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1494/2002(7), hides and skins within the meaning of Directive 92/118/EEC, derived from healthy ruminants and collagen derived from such hides and skins are not subject to restrictions on placing on the market.
(5) The Scientific Steering Committee adopted an opinion on the safety of collagen on 10 and 11 May 2001, addressing the question of the safety in relation to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (hereinafter TSE) of collagen produced from ruminant hides.
(6) The raw material used for the production of collagen consists mainly of bovine connective tissue of hides and tendons, calf skins, sheep skins and pig skins. To ensure the safety of the raw material, it must derive from animals that pass ante and post-mortem inspections as fit for human consumption. Such material must also be collected, transported, stored and handled in the most hygienic ways possible.
(7) To guarantee traceability of the raw material, collection centres and tanneries, which intend to supply the raw material, should be authorised and registered. A model commercial document should also be prescribed to accompany the raw material during transportation and at time of delivery to the collection centres, tanneries and collagen processing plants.
(8) It is appropriate to amend the current commercial document for raw material destined for the production of gelatine for human consumption, to take into account particulars in relation to control procedures in certain Member States.
(9) The standards for the finished product should be fixed to ensure that it is not contaminated with substances or micro-organisms presenting a risk to consumer health. Pending a scientific evaluation of such standards, it is appropriate to include, on a provisional basis, generally accepted standards as regards contamination. The requirements for packaging, storage and transport of the finished product should also be laid down.
(10) It is necessary to lay down specific health rules for the importation of collagen and raw material destined for the production of collagen intended for human consumption. Specimens of health certificates to accompany the imported collagen and raw material destined for the production of collagen for human consumption should be drawn up. It is also necessary for the Commission to recognise conditions offering equivalent guarantees based on a proposal submitted by a third country.
(11) The adoption of specific rules for the production of collagen should be without prejudice to the adoption of rules for the prevention and control of TSE.
(12) Directive 92/118/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Directive 92/118/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 30 June 2003.
It shall not apply to collagen intended for human consumption that was produced or imported before that date.

Having regard to the draft Decision submitted by the Commission,
Whereas the information collected under Decisions 79/4/EEC (2), 80/1181/EEC (3), 82/870/EEC (4) gives grounds for concern about the competitive position of Member State liner companies because of the nature of the competition which they face from certain carriers in the areas of operation referred to in Annex II to Decision 79/4/EEC; whereas the collection of information about traffic in these areas should therefore continue;
Whereas the information collected about the traffic between the Community and the countries referred to in Article 2 of Decision 80/1181/EEC, in respect of which detailed rules are established in Decision 81/189/EEC (5), which was extended by Decision 82/870/EEC also gives grounds for concern about the competitive position of Member State liner companies; whereas the collection of information about this traffic should therefore continue,

Whereas in principle, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive;
Whereas, however, since work to establish Community equivalence for all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Article 15 (2a) of that Directive permitted Member States to extend to 31 March 1994 the period of validity of equivalence which they had already for certain countries not covered by the Community equivalence;
Whereas the said work is still incomplete;
Whereas the authorization may only be extended in accordance with Member States' obligations under the common rules on plant health, laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 94/13/EC (4);
Whereas by Commission Decision 93/680/EC (5) derogations provided for by certain Member States from certain provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of seed potatoes originating in Canada have been approved until 31 March 1994;
Whereas Commission Decision 95/14/EC (6) extends that period further from 1 December 1994 to 31 March 1995;
Whereas the authorization granted to Member States by Article 15 (2a) should accordingly be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 March 2003.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty, the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and the Committee on Structures for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 and following of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft Single Programming Document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Belgian Government submitted to the Commission on 7 December 1999 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the province of Hainaut qualifying for transitional support under Objective 1 pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, and the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(2).
(7) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing Financial Instruments.
(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation with the estimated loan amounts indicated in this Decision and in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 1 in the region of Hainaut qualifying for transitional support under Objective 1 in Belgium for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Belgium. The priorities are as follows:
1. creating growth centres by developing the productive base;
2. creating growth centres through the knowledge economy;
3. developing the potential of agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and the countryside;
4. increasing the attractiveness of the area through restoration and image-promotion;
5. a preventative approach to the labour market;
6. improving reintegration into working life and social inclusion;
7. technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 2221740000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 645000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 657300000 from the public sector and EUR 919440000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 645000000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The indicative initial estimated breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 60 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of state aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(3). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
