COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2015/2005
of 9 December 2005
on imports during January and February 2006 of bananas originating in ACP countries under the tariff quota opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 on the tariff rates for bananas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 of 29 November 2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 lays down that from 1 January each year, starting with 1 January 2006, an autonomous tariff quota of 775 000 tonnes net weight subject to a zero duty rate is to be opened for imports of bananas (CN code 0803 00 19) originating in ACP countries.
(2) The establishment of the appropriate instruments for managing the tariff quota for ACP banana imports provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 cannot be completed in time before 1 January 2006. The Commission should therefore adopt interim measures for the issue of import licences for January and February 2006 to ensure Community supplies, ensure the continuity of trade with the ACP countries and avoid disruptions of trade flow. These measure are without prejudice to the detailed rules to be adopted later in 2006.
(3) Under the interim measures, provision should be made for import licences to be issued to operators established in the Community who, as the case may be, obtained a reference quantity as traditional operators, an annual allocation as non-traditional operators under the tariff quotas A/B or C referred to in Article 18(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (2), or who, as traditional operators or non-traditional operators, qualified for the additional quantity set by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004 of 29 October 2004 on transitional measures for 2005 for imports of bananas into the Community by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (3) and who actually imported bananas originating in the ACP countries in 2005. Given the temporary nature of these measures, applications lodged by new operators not registered in previous years should not be accepted.
(4) The allocation of the available quantities for January and February 2006 to the various groups of operators concerned should be based on data relating to the supply of ACP bananas to the Community in 2005. The supply figure was 750 000 tonnes under the tariff quota C reserved for the region in question. The figure for the ‘all third countries’ tariff quota A/B was 15 000 tonnes. Lastly, 10 000 tonnes of products of ACP origin were released into free circulation in the new Member States.
(5) In the case of operators who obtained a reference quantity or an annual allocation for 2005 under the tariff quota C of 750 000 tonnes, determined by reference to imports of ACP bananas, licences may be issued on the basis of the reference quantity or annual allocation notified for 2005.
(6) In the case of operators who obtained a reference quantity or annual allocation for 2005 under either the tariff quotas A/B or the accession-related additional quantity set by Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004, on the basis of imports of products from all third countries, not specifically products originating in ACP countries, provision should be made for licence applications to be accompanied by proof of actual import of products originating in ACP countries in 2005. The lodging of applications for quantities unrelated to imports of products from the origin in question during 2005 should be prevented. In the interests of management and monitoring, the number of applications per operator should be restricted.
(7) However, to help improve the fluidity of trade flows and give operators greater flexibility of action, a ceiling should not be set on the quantity for which a licence application may be lodged.
(8) Licences should be issued in proportion to the quantities requested, in accordance with the simultaneous examination method.
(9) Appropriate detailed rules should therefore be adopted.
(10) To enable licence applications to be lodged in time, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,

(notified under document number C(2001) 2576)
(2001/707/EC)
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 Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 7 November 1997, by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3), the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding in respect of imports of hardboard originating, inter alia, in Latvia.
(2) The proceeding resulted in anti-dumping duties being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 194/1999(4) in January 1999 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3) In parallel, by Decision 1999/71/EC(5), the Commission also accepted an undertaking from, inter alia, one Latvian company (AS "Bolderâja", TARIC additional code 8499 ), and imports of hardboard originating in Latvia exported to the Community by this company were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 2(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 194/1999.
B. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF AN UNDERTAKING
(4) Following changes in its trading activities, AS "Bolderâja" advised the Commission that it wished to withdraw its undertaking. Accordingly, the name of this company should be deleted as soon as possible from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Article 1(1) of Decision 1999/71/EC.
C. AMENDMENT OF DECISION 1999/71/EC
(5) In view of the above, the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Decision 1999/71/EC should be amended accordingly.
(6) The Advisory Committee has been consulted on the above change and has raised no objections,
Article 1(1) of Decision 1999/71/EC is replaced by the following: "1. The undertakings offered by the producers mentioned below, in the framework of the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of hardboard into the Community of hardboard originating in Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland are hereby accepted:

Council Regulation (EC) No 216/2001
of 29 January 2001
amending Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 on the common organisation of the market in bananas
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) There have been numerous close contacts with supplier countries and other interested parties to settle the disputes arising from the import regime established by Regulation (EEC) No 404/93(4) and to take account of the conclusions of the special group set up under the dispute settlement system of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
(2) Analysis of all the options presented by the Commission suggests that establishment in the medium term of an import system founded on the application of a customs duty at an appropriate rate and application of a preferential tariff to imports from ACP countries provides the best guarantees, firstly of achieving the objectives of the common organisation of the market as regards Community production and consumer demand, secondly of complying with the rules on international trade, and thirdly of preventing further disputes.
(3) However, such a system must be introduced upon completion of negotiations with the Community's partners in accordance with WTO procedures, in particular Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The result of these negotiations must be submitted for approval to the Council which must also, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, establish the applicable level of the Common Customs Tariffs.
(4) Until the entry into force of that regime, the Community should be supplied under several tariff quotas open to imports from all origins and managed in line with the recommendations made by the dispute settlement body. The first tariff quota of 2200000 tonnes at a rate of EUR 75 should be bound in the WTO. A second, additional tariff quota of 353000 tonnes should be opened to cater for the increase in consumption resulting from enlargement of the Community in 1995, with the same rate applying. To ensure satisfactory supply to the Community, a third, autonomous tariff quota of 850000 tonnes should be opened, also for all origins. Under this latter tariff quota, provision should be made for the possibility, in accordance with an appropriate procedure, of a reduction in the applicable customs duty in order to allow the effective importation of bananas originating in third countries which do not benefit from the tariff preferences granted in respect of bananas originating in ACP countries.
(5) In view of the contractual obligations towards the ACP countries and the need to guarantee them proper conditions of competition, application to imports of bananas originating in those countries of a tariff preference of EUR 300 per tonne would allow the trade flows in question to be maintained. This will entail in particular the application to such imports of zero duty under the three tariff quotas.
(6) The Commission should be authorised to open negotiations with supplier countries having a substantial interest in supplying the Community market to endeavour to achieve a negotiated allocation of the first two tariff quotas. The Commission should also be granted authority to lay down rules for the management of the tariff quotas established by this Regulation.
(7) Provision should be made for the additional tariff quota of 353000 tonnes to be modified to take account of any increased Community demand found when a supply balance is drawn up. Provision should also be made for suitable specific action to be taken in response to exceptional circumstances liable to affect supply of the Community market.
(8) Accordingly, Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 should be amended,
Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Articles 16 to 20 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 16
1. This Article and Articles 17 to 20 shall apply to imports of fresh products falling within CN code ex 0803 00 19 up to the entry into force of the rate of the common customs tariff for those products, no later than 1 January 2006, established under the procedure provided for in Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
2. Until the entry into force of the rate referred to in paragraph 1, imports of the fresh products referred to in the said paragraph shall be under the tariff quotas opened by Article 18.
7
To the extent necessary, importation of bananas into the Community shall be subject to submission of an import licence, to be issued by Member States to any interested parties irrespective of their place of establishment in the Community and without prejudice to specific provisions adopted for the application of Articles 18 and 19.
Such import licences shall be valid throughout the Community. Except where derogations are adopted under the procedure laid down in Article 27, the issue of licences shall be subject to lodging of a security against a commitment to import on the terms of this Regulation during the period of the licence's validity. Except in cases of force majeure the security shall be wholly or partly forfeit if the operation is not or is only partly carried out within the time allowed.
8
1. Each year from 1 January the following tariff quotas shall be opened:
(a) a tariff quota of 2200000 tonnes net weight, called 'quota A';
(b) an additional tariff quota of 353000 tonnes net weight, called 'quota B';
(c) an autonomous tariff quota of 850000 tonnes net weight, called 'quota C'.
These tariff quotas shall be open for imports of products originating in all third countries.
The Commission may, on the basis of an agreement with World Trade Organisation contracting parties with a substantial interest in the supply of bananas, allocate tariff quotas 'A' and 'B' among supplier countries.
2. Imports under tariff quotas 'A' and 'B' shall be subject to customs duty of EUR 75 per tonne.
3. Imports under tariff quota 'C' shall be subject to a customs duty of EUR 300 per tonne.
The customs duty set out in the first subparagraph may be reduced during the year by the Commission in so far as this is necessary to ensure the possibility of effective importation of bananas originating in third countries which do not benefit from the tariff preference of paragraph 4 of this Article.
The detailed arrangements for the application of this paragraph shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27.
4. A tariff preference of EUR 300 per tonne shall apply to imports originating in ACP countries both under and outside the tariff quotas.
5. The duty rates set in this Article shall be converted into national currency at the rates applicable for the products in question for the purposes of the common customs tariff.
6. The additional tariff quota provided for in paragraph 1(b) may be increased if demand in the Community increases as indicated by a balance sheet of production, consumption, imports and exports.
The balance sheet shall be adopted and the tariff quota increased under the procedure set out in Article 27.
7. Where supply of the Community market is subject to exceptional circumstances affecting production or importation, the Commission shall adopt the specific measures necessary under the procedure set out in Article 27.
In such cases the additional tariff quota 'B' may be adjusted on the basis of the balance sheet referred to in paragraph 6. The specific measures may derogate from the rules adopted under Article 19(1). They must not discriminate between third countries.
8. Bananas re-exported from the Community shall not be counted against the corresponding tariff quotas.
9
1. The tariff quotas may be managed in accordance with the method based on taking account of traditional trade flows ('traditionals/newcomers') and/or other methods.
2. The method adopted shall take account as appropriate of the need to maintain the equilibrium of supply to the Community market.
0
The Commission shall adopt provisions to implement this Title under the procedure set out in Article 27. Their scope shall include:
(a) rules on the management of the tariff quotas referred to in Article 18;
(b) where required, guarantee of the nature and origin of the products;
(c) measures needed to ensure respect for obligations stemming from agreements concluded by the Community under Article 300 of the Treaty."
2. The seventh indent of Article 29 shall be replaced by the following:
"- quantities of Community and ACP bananas and bananas from third countries other than ACP countries marketed in their territory."
3. The Annex shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 April 2001. However, the Commission may, according to the procedure laid down in Article 27, delay the date until 1 July 2001 at the latest, if this proves necessary for the implementation of the modifications in the management of the tariff quotas.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 1,117 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C(96) 3684 of 17 December 1996;
Whereas the United Kingdom Government has submitted to the Commission on 2 August 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the regions of west Cumbria and Furness; 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 the single programming document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
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 Article 20 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 provides, subject to available funding, for a single commitment where the Community assistance granted is less than ECU 40 million for the whole programming period;
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) 1035/7 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of the United Kingdom;
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 regions of west Cumbria and Furness concerned by Objective 2 in the United Kingdom, 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 the United Kingdom;
the main priorities are:
1. SME start-up, development and growth,
2. knowledge-based industries and advanced technologies,
3. tourism development,
4. community economic development;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the single programming document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the provisions on financial implementation,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality and an initial evaluation of the latter;
(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 1,117 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 32,374 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 34,248 million for the public sector and ECU 11,955 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 23,991 million,
- ESF: ECU 8,383 million.
2. The budgetary commitments at the moment of approval of the single programming document refer to the total Community assistance.
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) 1035/7.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. That Directive requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit a residue monitoring plan providing required guarantees. That plan should at least include the groups of residues and substances listed in that Annex I.
(2) Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans provided for in Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC (‘the plans’) submitted by certain third countries listed in the Annex thereto for the animals and animal products indicated in that list.
(3) In the light of the recent plans submitted by certain third countries and additional information obtained by the Commission, it is necessary to update the list of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain animals and animal products, as provided for in Directive 96/23/EC and currently listed in the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU (‘the list’).
(4) Bosnia and Herzegovina has submitted a plan for poultry, milk, eggs and honey to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. The entries for Bosnia and Herzegovina for poultry, milk, eggs and honey should therefore be included in the list.
(5) Japan has submitted a plan for bovine to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Japan for bovine should therefore be included in the list.
(6) Moldova has submitted a plan for poultry, aquaculture and eggs to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. The entries for Moldova for poultry, aquaculture and eggs should therefore be included in the list.
(7) Pitcairn Islands are currently included in the list for honey. However, Pitcairn Islands have not provided a plan as required by Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC. Pitcairn Islands should therefore be removed from the list.
(8) Vietnam has submitted a plan for honey to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Vietnam for honey should therefore be included in the list.
(9) In order to avoid any disruption to trade, a transitional period should be laid down to cover the relevant consignments from Pitcairn Islands, which were certified and dispatched to the Union before the date of application of this Decision.
(10) Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
For a transitional period until 16 May 2013, Member States shall accept consignments from Pitcairn Islands of honey provided that the importer demonstrates that the products had been certified and dispatched to the Union prior to 1 April 2013.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 457/85
of 19 February 1985
laying down implementing rules for 1985 for Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82 on food-aid policy and food-aid management
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82 (1), and in particular the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh indents of Article 4 (1) and Article 4 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, in order to implement Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82, it is necessary to determine the total quantities of each product to be supplied under the food-aid programmes in compliance with the Community's international commitments;
Whereas the Community has entered into certain commitments under the Food Aid Convention;
Whereas the Community has also entered into certain commitments under the Convention between the European Economic Community and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on aid to refugees in the countries of the Near East (3);
Whereas a list of the countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations should be drawn up without prejudice to emergency operations;
Whereas provision should also be made for the possibility of making food aid available to non-governmental organizations; whereas the latter must meet certain conditions guaranteeing the successful execution of food-aid operations;
Whereas the basic and derived products which may be supplied under food-aid operations should be determined by taking account, in particular, of the available stocks of the products in question;
Whereas general criteria should also be established for the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage, taking into account the financial and geographical situation of the countries concerned and the channels and intermediaries via which the aid will be dispatched; whereas account should also be taken to this end of the need to ensure that the effectiveness of the food-aid operations is increased;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the objectives of food-aid operations are attained, it is furthermore necessary to stipulate that aid is granted only where the recipients undertake to comply with the supply terms laid down by the Commission;
Whereas the methods of mobilizing, transporting and delivering the products should be specified; whereas it is also necessary to determine the procedure for mobilizing the products outside the Community;
Whereas the Commission must be able to take all the measures necessary for the proper execution of food-aid programmes and operations; whereas, to this end, Member States must provide the Commission with all the assistance required and, in particular, with all relevant information;
Whereas, in certain circumstances and subject to appropriate conditions, multiannual food-aid programmes can make a positive contribution to the development of the recipient country; whereas, however, it is not intended to lay down multiannual quantities of food aid;
Whereas this Regulation could be re-examined at a later date, in the light, in particular, of objective factors concerning the needs of potential beneficiaries, and on the basis of a Commission proposal,
1. The quantities of products to be made available for 1985 to certain developing countries and certain organizations as food aid are indicated in Annex I.
The products listed in the fourth, fifth and sixth indents of Annex I shall be made available to certain developing countries or certain organizations under international commitments or in the form of specific projects or emergency aid to be decided on by the Commission in accordance with Article 5 or 6, as applicable, of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
2. The products to be considered for food-aid operations under paragraph 1 are laid down in Annex II.
1. The countries and organizations eligible to receive the aid referred to in Article 1 are listed in Annex III.
2. The aid may also be placed at the disposal of non-governmental organizations which must inter alia:
(a) have their headquarters in a Member State of the Community or, exceptionally, in a third country;
(b) have a statute that is characteristic of an organization of this type;
(c) have shown that they have the capacity to carry out food-aid operations successfully;
(d) have given an undertaking to comply with the supply terms laid down by the Commission pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
Where the Commission considers that the Community should meet transport costs for food aid beyond the fob stage, it shall take account of the following general criteria:
- whether the recipient country is included on the list of least-developed countries,
- whether or not the recipient country is a land-locked country,
- the financial situation of the recipient country,
- whether the food aid is intended for the organizations or non-governmental organizations referred to in Article 2,
- the need to mobilize the product on the market of a developing country,
- the need to allocate the food aid on an emergency basis,
- the need to make a given food-aid operation more effective.
Distribution costs may, in exceptional circumstances, be met by the Community where necessary for the proper execution of the food-aid operations concerned.
1. The Commission shall inform the recipients of the conditions governing the supply of food aid as referred to in point (c) of the first paragraph of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
2. Food aid shall be granted to the recipients only where they undertake to comply with the supply terms notified to them by the Commission.
1. Except in the case of emergency operations or where products have to be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market, tenders shall be called for within the Community:
- for the mobilization of the product on the Community market and, where appropriate, for its purchase and manufacture on that market,
- for the transportation and delivery of the product after mobilization.
Where, however, a food-aid operation relates only to relatively small amounts, paragraph 2 may also apply.
2. For emergency operations or where products must be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market, the Commission may conclude the necessary private contracts or instruct the Member States and, where appropriate, an authorized agent to conclude such contracts on terms laid down by the Commission.
1. The Commission shall lay down rules for the mobilization of products which must be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market.
In order to establish that they are unavailable, the Commission shall have regard to the availability of stocks of the products in question in the Community and to the Community market's needs as regards such products. 2. Milk products supplied as food aid must have been manufactured and purchased in the Community.
3. The Commission shall lay down the rules referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82, establish the technical coefficient and equivalence criterion referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation.
The Commission shall take all necessary measures to ensure the proper execution of food-aid programmes and operations.
To this end, the Member States shall provide the Commission with all the assistance required and shall, in particular, provide it with all relevant information.

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.

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), and in particular Article 10 (2) (c) thereof,

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 98/58/EC of 20 July 1998 concerning the protection of animals kept for farming purposes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas all Member States have ratified the European Convention for the Protection of Animals Kept for Farming Purposes (hereinafter called 'the Convention`); whereas the Community has also approved this Convention by Decision 78/923/EEC (4) and has deposited its instrument of approval;
Whereas the Community, as a contracting party, must give effect to the principles laid down in the Convention;
Whereas those principles include the provision of housing, food, water and care appropriate to the physiological and ethological needs of the animals, in accordance with established experience and scientific knowledge;
Whereas it is also necessary for the Community to make further provision for the uniform application of the Convention and its recommendations and for specific rules concerning the application of this Directive;
Whereas the European Parliament, in its resolution of 20 February 1987 on animal welfare policy (5) called on the Commission to make proposals for Community rules covering general aspects of the rearing of livestock;
Whereas Declaration No 24 annexed to the Final Act of the Treaty on European Union calls on the European institutions and the Member States, when drafting and implementing Community legislation, in particular on the common agricultural policy, to pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals;
Whereas differences which may distort conditions of competition interfere with the smooth running of the organisation of the market in animals;
Whereas there is therefore a need to establish common minimum standards for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes in order to ensure rational development of production and to facilitate the organisation of the market in animals; whereas to that end it is appropriate to take account of animal welfare provisions already laid down in Community rules;
Whereas a comparative examination of animal welfare provisions applicable in the Community and in certain non-member countries together with an appraisal thereof should be undertaken with a view to determining the nature of future Community initiatives aimed at eliminating distortions of competition,
1. This Directive lays down minimum standards for the protection of animals bred or kept for farming purposes.
2. It shall not apply to:
(a) animals living in the wild;
(b) animals intended for use in competitions, shows, cultural or sporting events or activities;
(c) experimental or laboratory animals;
(d) any invertebrate animal.
3. This Directive shall apply without prejudice to specific Community rules laid down elsewhere, and in particular to Directives 88/166/EEC (6), 91/629/EEC (7) and 91/630/EEC (8), which shall continue to apply.
For the purposes of this Directive the following definitions shall apply:
1. 'animal`: any animal (including fish, reptiles or amphibians) bred or kept for the production of food, wool, skin or fur or for other farming purposes;

Member States shall make provision to ensure that the owners or keepers take all reasonable steps to ensure the welfare of animals under their care and to ensure that those animals are not caused any unnecessary pain, suffering or injury.
Members States shall ensure that the conditions under which animals (other than fish, reptiles or amphibians) are bred or kept, having regard to their species and to their degree of development, adaptation and domestication, and to their physiological and ethological needs in accordance with established experience and scientific knowledge, comply with the provisions set out in the Annex.
1. The Commission shall submit to the Council any proposals which may be necessary for the uniform application of the European Convention for the Protection of Animals Kept for Farming Purposes and, on the basis of a scientific evaluation, any recommendations made under this Convention and any other appropriate specific rules.

(a) verify that the Member States are complying with the said requirements;
(b) make on-the-spot checks to ensure that the checks are carried out in accordance with this Directive.
2. A Member State in whose territory an inspection is made shall provide the veterinary experts from the Commission with any assistance they may require in the performance of their tasks. The outcome of the checks made must be discussed with the competent authority of the Member State concerned before a final report is drawn up and circulated.
3. The competent authority of the Member State concerned shall take any measures which may be necessary to take account of the results of the check.
4. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted, where necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.
1. Before 30 June 1999 the Commission shall submit to the Council a report on:
- the comparison between animal welfare provisions in the Community and in non-member countries which supply the Community,

2. The report referred to in paragraph 1 shall be accompanied by any necessary proposals with the aim of eliminating distortions of competition.
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, the matter shall be referred without delay to the Standing Veterinary Committee set up by Directive 68/361/EEC (10), hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee`, by its chairman acting either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148(2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the Committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not vote.
3. (a) The Commission shall adopt the measures envisaged if they are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee.
(b) If the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee, or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall without delay submit to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by qualified majority.
If, on the expiry of a period of three months from the date of referral to the Council, the Council has not acted, the Commission shall adopt the proposed measures and implement them immediately, save where the Council has decided against the said measures by a simple majority.

COMMISSION DECISION

setting up a Joint Committee on Road Transport
(85/516/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Whereas the Heads of State or of Government stated in their declaration of 21 October 1972 that the first aim of economic expansion should be to enable disparities in living conditions to be reduced and that this aim should express itself in better quality of life and higher standard of living;
Whereas, in this connection, they considered it indispensable that both employers and employees should be increasingly involved in the economic and social decisions of the Community;
Whereas, amongst the priority actions contained in the Community's 'Social Action Programme' the Commission has recommended that dialogue and cooperation between employers and employees be promoted at Community level; whereas the Council in its resolution of 21 January 1974 concerning a social action programme (1) named increased involvement of management and labour in the economic and social decisions of the Community as one of the priority measures to be taken;
Whereas the European Parliament in its resolution of 13 June 1972 (2) stated that the participation of employers and employees in the formulation of a Community social policy should be achieved during the first stage of economic and monetary union;
Whereas the Economic and Social Committee in its opinion of 24 November 1971 expressed a similar view;
Whereas the Council stressed in its conclusions of 22 June 1984 concerning a Community medium-term social action programme, that the European social dialogue must be strengthened and its procedures adapted in order to involve the social partners more effectively in the economic and social decisions of the Community (3);
Whereas the situation in the various Member States clearly demonstrates the need for the two sides of the road transport industry to participate actively in the improvement and harmonization of living and working conditions in road transport; whereas a joint committee attached to the Commission is the most appropriate means of ensuring such participation by creating at Community level a representative forum for the socio-economic interests involved;
Whereas Commission Decision 65/362/EEC of 5 July 1965 relating to the setting-up of a Joint Advisory Committee for Social Problems in Road Transport (4) is no longer in accord with the developments in social policy advocated by the Community institutions,
The Commission hereby creates a Joint Committee on Road Transport (hereinafter called 'the Committee').
The Committee shall assist the Commission in the formulation and implementation of the Community social policy aimed at improving and harmonizing living and working conditions in road transport.
1. In order to attain the objectives laid down in Article 2, the Committee shall:
(a) issue opinions and submit reports to the Commission, either at the latter's request or on its own initiative; and
(b) in respect of matters falling within the competence of the employers 'and employees' associations listed in Article 4 (2) (a):

Carriers' association:
Liaison Committees of the IRU to the European Communities;
Employees' association:
Committee of Transport Workers' Unions of the European Community.
(b) Seats shall be attributed as follows:
- to representatives of the carriers' association, 22,
- to representatives of the employees' association, 22.
1. An alternate shall be appointed for each member of the Committee under the same conditions as laid down in Article 4 (2).
2. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 9, an alternate shall not attend meetings of the Committee or a working group provided for in Article 9, or participate in its work, unless the member for whom he is the alternate is prevented from doing so.
1. Committee members and their alternates shall hold office for a term of four years; appointments shall be renewable.
2. Members and their alternates whose term of office has expired shall remain in office until they have been replaced or their term of office has been renewed.
3. A member's or alternate's term of office shall cease before the expiry of the period of four years upon his resignation or death or if the association which nominated him requests his replacement. The vacancy thereby caused shall be filled in the manner prescribed in Article 4 (2) by a person appointed for the remainder of the term of office.
4. There shall be no payment for duties performed.
1. The Commission shall, by a two-thirds majority of members present, elect from among its members a chairman and vice-chairman who shall hold office for a term of two years. The chairman and vice-chairman shall be chosen alternately, and in reverse order, from amongst the two groups of associations listed in Article 4 (2) (a).
2. (a) The chairman or vice-chairman whose term of office has expired shall remain in office until he has been replaced.
(b) Should the chairman or vice-chairman cease to hold office before expiry of his term, he shall be replaced for the remainder of the term by a person appointed in the manner prescribed in paragraph 1 upon a proposal from the group to which his association belongs.
The Committee may create a bureau consisting of the chairman, vice-chairman and rapporteurs of the working groups provided for in Article 9 to plan and coordinate its work.
The Committee may:
(a) set up ad hoc or permanent working groups to facilitate its work. It may authorize a member to delegate another representative of his association, who shall be named, to take his place in a working group; such delegate shall enjoy the same rights at meetings of the working group as the member he replaces;
(b) ask the Commission to appoint experts to assist it in specific tasks. It shall be its duty to do so if one of the associations listed in Article 4 (2) (a) so requests;
(c) ask for the attendance at Committee meetings, as an expert, of any person who is specially qualified in any particular subject on the agenda. The expert shall be present only for the discussion of the particular subject for which his attendance is required. Article 10
The Committee shall be convened by its secretariat at the request of the Commission, the bureau or of one-third of the Committee's members. In the latter case, the Committee shall meet within 30 days.

After hearing the Committee's views, the Commission may review this Decision in the light of experience.
5
Decision 65/362/EEC is hereby repealed.

This Decision shall apply from 18 November 1985.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 3 July 1984
adapting to technical progress Council Directive 70/157/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible sound level and the exhaust system of motor vehicles
(84/372/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to 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 (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1267/EEC (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/157/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible sound level and the exhaust system of motor vehicles (3), as last amended by Directive 81/334/EEC (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of the experience gained in this field and in view of the present state of the art, it is now possible to modify certain requirements relating to the method of measuring the noise emitted by certain types of vehicle in order to bring them more into line with actual operating conditions; whereas the vehicles concerned are high-performance vehicles and vehicles with automatic transmission equipment with a manual override;
Whereas, in particular, this type of high-performance vehicle has the important characteristic of being built by the most-advanced techniques, which usually precede the methods subsequently used in series production, and with optimization of parts and characteristics as regards active and passive safety, air pollution, noise emissions and fuel consumption; whereas, as far as the operation of the vehicles is concerned, the present method of determining the permissible sound level, designed to reveal the amount of noise emitted by the vehicles when operated under urban traffic conditions, is not, according to the latest experiments, representative of the actual use of high-performance vehicles under urban traffic conditions; whereas the modifications necessary in order to obviate this disadvantage and to permit more accurate assessment of the noise emitted by this type of vehicle have already been adopted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulation No 51, as recently amended;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives for the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Motor-Vehicle Sector,
Annex I to Directive 70/157/EEC, as last amended by Directive 81/334/EEC, is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. With effect from 1 October 1984, Member States shall not, on grounds relating to the permissible sound level and the exhaust system:
- refuse, in respect of a type of motor vehicle, to grant EEC type-approval, to issue the document referred to in the last indent of Article 10 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC, or to grant national type-approval, or
- prohibit the entry into service of such vehicles,
if the sound level and the exhaust system of this type of vehicle or of the vehicles concerned conform to the provisions of Directive 70/157/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
2. With effect from 1 October 1985, Member States:
- may no longer issue the document referred to in the last indent of Article 10 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC in respect of a type of motor vehicle of which the sound level and exhaust system do not comply with the provisions of Directive 70/157/EEC, as amended by this Directive,
- may refuse to grant national type-approval in respect of a type of motor vehicle of which the sound level and exhaust system do not comply with the provisions of Directive 70/157/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
3. With effect from 1 October 1986, Member States may prohibit the entry into service of vehicles of which the sound level and exhaust system do not comply with the provisions of Directive 70/157/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 October 1984. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 3339/87 (2) an anti-dumping duty of 40 % was imposed on imports of urea originating in Saudi Arabia;
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 450/89 (3) the amount of this anti-dumping duty was, after a partial review, reduced to 12,8 %;
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3339/87 was declared void by the Judgment of the Court of Justice of 27 June 1991 in Case No C-49/88 in as far as it imposed an anti-dumping duty on the Saudi Arabian applicants;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is considered appropriate to repeal the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 450/89 on imports of urea originating in Saudi Arabia, given that the facts having led to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3339/87, which was the subject of the Court's decision in Case No C-49/88, were, in essence, not reviewed during the investigation leading to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 450/89; whereas in addition, it is considered appropriate to take account of the fact that, since the original investigation, the imports concerned into the Community were insignificant,
The anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of urea originating in Saudi Arabia by Regulation (EEC) No 450/89 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 25 February 1989. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 850/96 of 8 May 1996 deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain areas in the 1996/97 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2989/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 stipulates that, to qualify for the compensatory payments for cereals, protein crops and linseed under the support system for certain arable crops, the producers must have sown the seed at the latest by 15 May preceding the relevant harvest;
Whereas Article 2 (1) (c) and (d) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2295/92 of 31 July 1992 on detailed rules for the application of the support system for producers of the protein crops referred to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3347/93 (4), fixes 15 May as the final date for sowing protein crops;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 918/95 of 26 April 1995 deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain areas (5), which derogates from Regulations (EEC) No 1765/92 and (EEC) No 2295/92 defers the final date applicable for sowing arable crops other than oilseeds in Finland and Sweden;
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 lays down that to qualify for an advance payment, the producer must have sown the oilseeds at the latest by a date fixed by the Commission; whereas in this regard Article 2 (1) (c) and (d) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 of 31 July 1992 on detailed rules for the application of the support system for producers of the oilseeds referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 428/96 (7), sets 15 May as the final date for sowing oilseeds; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1055/94 of 5 May 1994 deferring the final date for sowing oilseeds in certain areas (8), amended by Regulation (EC) No 919/95 (9), defers the final date for sowing oilseeds in certain regions;
Whereas because of the particularly severe weather conditions this year, the final dates for sowing seeds fixed for Austria, Finland and Sweden cannot be complied with in all cases; whereas, in consequence, the time limit for sowing cereals, oilseeds, protein crops and linseed for the 1996/97 marketing year should be deferred and fixed at 15 June for all of Finland and Sweden; whereas as regards Austria, the final date for sowing maize and soya for the 1996/97 marketing year should be deferred to 31 May for the entire country; whereas to do so Regulations (EEC) No 1765/92, (EEC) No 2294/92, (EEC) No 2295/92, (EC) No 1055/94 and (EC) No 918/95 should be waived as permitted by the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
The final date for crop sowings in Austria, Finland and Sweden for the 1996/97 marketing year are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 May 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1433/96 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney, whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas, amitraz (for porcine) should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas cetrimide, lobeline, pancreatin, chlorocresol, thymol and ketoprofen (for porcine) should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, amitraz (for bovine and ovine) should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/40/EEC (4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2931/93 of 25 October 1993 fixing for the 1993/94 marketing year the reference prices for artichokes
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 organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus to be amended as a result of the monetary realignments (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/93 (5), and in particular
Article 2
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 artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
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 plus transport costs 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, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
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 Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92 of 28 December 1992 on transitional measures for the application of the agrimonetary arrangements laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6) establishes a correspondence between the provisions of the agrimonetary arrangements applicable from 1 January 1993 and those applicable before that date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to be divdided by a coefficient of 1,010495, fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (7), as amendedd by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (8); as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down that the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed; whereas, however, this adjustment may not result in a reference price level below that of the preceding marketing year, in accordance with Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes (CN code 0709 10 00), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November to 31 December 1992: 89,99,
- from 1 January to 30 April 1993: 79,35,
- May 1994: 74,95,
- June 1994: 63,95.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

REGULATION (EU) No 1234/2010 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 15 December 2010
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (Single CMO Regulation) as regards the aid granted in the framework of the German Alcohol Monopoly
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 the first paragraph of Article 42 and Article 43(2) 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 Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) The specific rules on the aid that Germany may grant in the framework of the German Alcohol Monopoly (‘the Monopoly’) as provided for in Article 182(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (3) will expire on 31 December 2010.
(2) According to the report submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 184(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the importance of the Monopoly has decreased in recent years. Between 2001 and 2008, about 70 agricultural bonded distilleries (landwirtschaftliche Verschlussbrennereien) left the Monopoly. The volumes sold by the Monopoly have fallen since 2003 and the budget decreased from EUR 110 million in 2003 to EUR 80 million in 2008. Some distilleries have thus already made efforts to prepare for their entry into the free market by creating cooperatives, investing in less energy-consuming equipment to reduce production costs and increasingly marketing their alcohol directly. However, more time is needed to facilitate this adaptation process and to enable distillers to survive on the free market. An extension of several more years is deemed necessary to complete the process of abolishing the Monopoly, as well as the aid, and to allow for its definitive phasing-out.
(3) In some parts of Germany, alcohol distilleries are traditionally linked to small and medium-sized farms and play an important role for the farms to continue their activities by providing an additional income to farmers and securing employment in rural areas. Agricultural bonded distilleries processing mainly cereals and potatoes should therefore continue to be able to receive aid through the Monopoly until 31 December 2013. By that date, all bonded distilleries should have entered the free market. This deadline also coincides with the beginning of the new programming period for rural development 2014-2020, meaning, for Germany, the possibility of transferring parts of the funds used for the Monopoly into its rural development programme.
(4) The small-scale flat-rate distilleries (Abfindungsbrennereien), distillery users (Stoffbesitzer) and fruit cooperative distilleries (Obstgemeinschaftsbrennereien) contribute in particular to the preservation of traditional landscapes and biodiversity by helping to preserve orchards, which supply distillers with raw material. Taking this into account, as well as the fact that the production of those distilleries is local and very limited, they should continue to be able to benefit from the aid granted under the Monopoly for a final period until 31 December 2017. By this date, the Monopoly is to be abolished. In order to ensure that this aid is indeed in the course of being phased out, Germany should present, on a yearly basis, annual phasing-out plans, as from 2013.
(5) The production of ethyl alcohol in the framework of the Monopoly is limited and corresponds at present to less than 10 % of the total production of ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin in Germany. Since, in particular, all bonded distilleries will have entered the free market by 31 December 2013, that percentage will decrease considerably after that date.
(6) In order to ensure continuity in the granting of the aid, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2011.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 182 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
‘4. The derogation contained in the second paragraph of Article 180 of this Regulation shall apply to aid payments granted by Germany in the existing national framework of the German Alcohol Monopoly (“the Monopoly”) for products marketed after further transformation by the Monopoly as ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin listed in Annex I to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). That derogation shall operate only until 31 December 2017, shall be without prejudice to the application of Article 108(1) and the first sentence of Article 108(3) TFEU and shall be conditional upon compliance with the following provisions:
(a) the total production of ethyl alcohol under the Monopoly benefiting from the aid shall gradually decrease from the maximum of 600 000 hl in 2011 to 420 000 hl in 2012 and to 240 000 hl in 2013 and may amount to a maximum of 60 000 hl per year from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2017, on which date the Monopoly shall cease to exist;
(b) the production by agricultural bonded distilleries benefiting from the aid shall gradually decrease from 540 000 hl in 2011 to 360 000 hl in 2012 and to 180 000 hl in 2013. By 31 December 2013, all agricultural bonded distilleries shall leave the Monopoly. Upon leaving the Monopoly, each agricultural bonded distillery shall be allowed to receive a compensatory aid of EUR 257,50 per hl of nominal distilling rights within the meaning of the applicable German legislation. This compensatory aid may be granted no later than 31 December 2013. It may, however, be paid in several instalments, of which the last shall be no later than 31 December 2017;
(c) the small-scale flat-rate distilleries, distillery users and fruit cooperative distilleries may benefit from the aid granted by the Monopoly until 31 December 2017, on condition that the production benefiting from the aid does not exceed 60 000 hl per year;
(d) the total amount of aid paid from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013 shall not exceed EUR 269,9 million and the total amount of aid paid from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2017 shall not exceed EUR 268 million; and
(e) before 30 June each year, Germany shall submit a report to the Commission on the functioning of the Monopoly and the aid granted in the framework thereof in the previous year. The Commission shall forward that report to the European Parliament and the Council. Moreover, the annual reports to be submitted in the years 2013 to 2016 shall include an annual phasing-out plan for the following year concerning the small-scale flat-rate distilleries, distillery users and fruit cooperative distilleries.’.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 4 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas, when the premiums for raw tobacco are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the common agricultural policy aims in particular to guarantee a fair standard of living for the farming community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices; whereas the premiums must take account in particular of past and foreseeable possibilities of disposal of the various tobaccos under normal conditions of competition,
For the 1997 harvest, the premium referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 for each group of raw tobacco varieties, and the supplementary amounts, shall be as set out in Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units and repealing Directive 74/150/EEC (1), and in particular points (a) and (b) of Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Technical progress allows for complete whole vehicle type-approval for tractors of category T4.3 (low-clearance tractors), as defined in Directive 2003/37/EC. Therefore, Council Directive 80/720/EEC of 24 June 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the operating space, access to the driving position and the doors and windows of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (2), Directive 2003/37/EC, Directive 2009/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the maximum design speed of and load platforms for wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (3) and Directive 2009/144/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on certain components and characteristics of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (4) should be amended to take account of the specificities of low-clearance tractors.
(2) In order to progress in the completion of the internal market and to achieve higher levels of occupational safety, requirements for front power take-offs for all tractor categories covered by Directive 2003/37/EC should be included in Council Directive 86/297/EEC of 26 May 1986 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the power take-offs of wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors and their protection (5).
(3) The required clearance zones and dimensions of the power take-off protective guard established in Directive 86/297/EEC should be amended in order to achieve worldwide harmonisation of such zones and dimensions so as to facilitate the global competitiveness of Union manufacturers.
(4) ISO 500-1:2004 together with the Technical Corrigendum 1:2005, ISO 500-2:2004, and ISO 8759-1:1998 contain globally recognised requirements for power take-offs of all tractors covered by Directive 2003/37/EC. It is therefore appropriate to make reference to those ISO standards in Directive 86/297/EEC.
(5) Directive 2003/37/EC should be amended in order to reflect the application of Directive 86/297/EEC to tractors of category T5. Equally, Directive 2003/37/EC should be amended to reflect the application of Directive 2009/60/EC and Directive 80/720/EEC to tractors of category T4.3.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/37/EC,
Directive 80/720/EEC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.
Directive 86/297/EEC is amended as follows:
1. The title is replaced by the following:
2. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
3. Annexes I and II are replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Directive.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1407/2001
of 11 July 2001
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 July 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas total harmonization of the ranges of nominal volumes for products in the wine sector now appears necessary for all the products concerned since the adoption of Council Directive 75/106/EEC (4), as amended by Directive 79/1005/EEC (5);
Whereas the deadline laid down in Directive 75/106/EEC for the use of certain volumes does not leave some Member States sufficient time to dispose of returnable bottles still in circulation on their markets; whereas the premature replacement of non-standard bottles would have serious economic consequences; whereas the States concerned should therefore be permitted to authorize the use of the volumes in question on their markets for a limited period;
Whereas since the adoption of Directive 75/106/EEC, the trend in consumption habits has shown that it is necessary to add large volumes to the range of capacities for still wines;
Whereas Directive 75/106/EEC should be amended accordingly,
Article 5 of Directive 75/106/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 5
1. Member States may not refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market of prepackages which satisfy the requirements of this Directive on grounds related to the determination of their volumes, the methods by which they have been checked or the nominal volumes where these are set out in Annex III, column I.
2. Member States which on 31 December 1973 allowed the nominal volumes listed in Annex III, column II, shall continue to allow them up to 31 December 1988, or in the case of the volume 0,73 litre up to 31 December 1985.
3. (a) Prepackages containing the products listed in Annex III, section 1 (a) and (b) may only be marketed after 31 December 1983 if they have the nominal volumes set out in Annex III, columns I and II. The volume 0,73 litre shall be deleted from column II with effect from 1 January 1986.
(b) Prepackages containing the products listed in Annex III, section 1 (a) and (b) may only be marketed after 31 December 1988 if they have the nominal volumes set out in Annex III, column I.
(c) Without prejudice to subparagraph (a) above, the products listed in Annex III (1) (a), when contained in returnable packages, may be marketed in the following volumes:
- 0,24 litre - 0,73 litre - 0,99 litre in France up to 31 December 1988,
- 0,46 litre - 0,64 litre - 0,68 litre in Greece up to 31 December 1988,
- 0,19 litre - 0,36 litre - 0,475 litre - 0,72 litre - 0,95 litre - 1,75 litres - 1,88 litres in Italy up to 31 December 1985.
4. This Directive shall be no impediment to national laws governing on environmental grounds the use of packaging with regard to its recycling.'
1. The following figures are added to Annex III, column I (1) (a) of Directive 75/106/EEC: '6, 9 and 10'.
2. The following line is added at the end of the range of volumes in Annex III, column I (1) (a) of Directive 75/106/EEC:
'0,187 (for consumption on board aircraft and ships only)'.
Member States shall bring the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed to comply with this Directive into force within 12 months of its notification (1). They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

concerning the provisional prohibition of the use and sale in Austria of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L. line T25) pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2008) 1715)
(Only the German text is authentic)

(2008/470/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 98/293/EC of 22 April 1998 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L. line T25), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) it was decided that consent was to be given for the placing on the market of that product.
(2) On 3 August 1998 the French authorities granted such consent. The consent covers all uses of the product, namely import, processing into food and feed products and cultivation.
(3) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Directive 2001/18/EC which replaced Council Directive 90/220/EEC (3), procedures in respect of notifications concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified organisms which have not been completed by 17 October 2002 are subject to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(4) On 8 May 2000 Austria informed the Commission of its decision to prohibit provisionally the use and sale of Zea mays L. line T25 for all uses and gave reasons for that decision in accordance with Article 16(1) of Directive 90/220/EEC.
(5) Products derived from Zea mays L. line T25 (starch and all its derivatives, crude and refined oil, all heat-processed or fermented products obtained from Zea mays L. line T25, as well as feed produced from Zea mays L. line T25) are authorised under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). These uses are not subject to the safeguard clause notified by Austria.
(6) The Scientific Committee on Plants concluded on 20 July 2001 that the information submitted by Austria did not constitute new relevant scientific evidence which had not been taken into account during the original evaluation of the dossier and which would occasion a review of that Committee’s original opinion on this product.
(7) On 9 January 2004, as well as on 9 and 17 February 2004, Austria submitted to the Commission additional information in support of its national measures concerning maize line T25.
(8) In accordance with Article 28(1) of Directive 2001/18/EC, the Commission consulted the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), under which it has replaced the relevant scientific committees.
(9) The EFSA concluded on 8 July 2004 (7) that the information submitted by Austria did not constitute new scientific evidence sufficient to invalidate the environmental risk assessment of maize line T25, justifying a prohibition of the use and sale of that product in Austria.
(10) Since, under the circumstances, there was no reason to consider that the product constituted a risk to human health or the environment, the Commission submitted on 29 November 2004 a draft Decision, requesting Austria to repeal its provisional safeguard measure, for consideration by the Committee established under Article 30 of Directive 2001/18/EC, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30(2) of that Directive.
(11) However, that Committee did not deliver an opinion and, in accordance with Article 5(4) of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (8), the Commission submitted to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken.
(12) On 24 June 2005, in accordance with Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC, the Council, acting by qualified majority, rejected this proposal.
(13) The Council, in its declaration, stated that ‘there is still a degree of uncertainty in relation to the national safeguard measures on the market of [the] genetically modified maize variet[y] […] T25’ and called on the Commission ‘to gather further evidence on the GMO in question and further assess, whether the measure taken by [Austria] aimed at suspending as a temporary precautionary measure [its] placing on the market [is] justified and, whether the authorisation of such [an] organism still meets the safety requirements of Directive 2001/18/EC’.
(14) In November 2005, the EFSA was consulted again by the Commission as to whether there was any scientific reason to believe that the continued placing on the market of T25 maize was likely to cause any adverse effects to human health or the environment under the conditions of consent. In particular, the EFSA was requested to take account of any further scientific information that had arisen subsequent to the previous scientific opinion concerning the safety of this GMO.
(15) In its opinion of 29 March 2006 (9), EFSA concluded that there is no reason to believe that the continued placing on the market of T25 maize is likely to cause any adverse effects for human and animal health or the environment under the conditions of its consent.
(16) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC, the Commission submitted a proposal to the Council requesting Austria to repeal its safeguard measure.
(17) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC, the Environment Council, on 18 December 2006, indicated its opposition by qualified majority, to the proposal.
(18) In its Decision, the Council referred to the environmental risk assessment as provided in the Directive 2001/18/EC and indicated that ‘the different agricultural structures and regional ecological characteristics in the European Union need to be taken into account in a more systematic manner in the environmental risk assessment’.
(19) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC the Commission submitted an amended proposal in order to take into account the Council Decision of 18 December 2006 which refers only to the environmental aspects of the Austrian safeguard clause, namely cultivation aspects.
(20) Austria has initiated work to collect any relevant scientific evidence on these aspects, which in the view of Austria justifies provisionally the maintenance of the safeguard clause, in particular in reference to ‘the different agricultural structures and regional ecological characteristics’ as indicated in recital 3 of the above mentioned Council decision. In accordance with Article 23 of Directive 2001/18/EC, Austria is invited to provide the Commission with all the scientific evidence that it has collected as well as any new risk assessment as soon as it is completed and inform all Member States thereof.
(21) On the basis of Austria’s submission and its scientific assessment, the Commission will act in accordance with Article 23 of Directive 2001/18/EC on these aspects of the Austrian measure.
(22) The food and feed safety aspects of Zea mays L. line T25 covered by the consent granted under Directive 90/220/EEC (including import and processing) are identical throughout Europe and have been assessed by the EFSA, which concluded that this product is unlikely to cause any adverse effects for human and animal health.
(23) The Commission proposal takes into account only food and feed aspects of the Austrian prohibition namely the prohibition on import and processing of unprocessed kernels as source materials for further processing or for direct food or feed use.
(24) Under these circumstances Austria should repeal its safeguard measures at least with regard to import and processing into food and feed of Zea mays L. line T25.
(25) The measures provided for in this Decision are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 30 of Directive 2001/18/EC and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. Since on the expiry of the period laid down in Article 30(2) of Directive 2001/18/EC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed measures nor indicated its opposition to them, in accordance with Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC, the measures should be adopted by the Commission,
The measures taken by Austria to prohibit the import and the processing into food and feed products of the Zea mays L. line T25, authorised for placing on the market by Decision 98/293/EC are not justified under Article 23 of Directive 2001/18/EC.
Austria shall take the necessary steps to terminate the prohibition of import and processing into food and feed products of Zea mays L. line T25 at the latest 20 days after its notification.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 of 22 October 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1035/2003(4), lays down conditions for granting area payments for certain arable crops. Under Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and, except as otherwise provided for, may not be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) In recent months certain regions of the Community have experienced extreme drought, which has seriously affected supplies of fodder and exposed breeders to severe losses of income because they have been obliged to sell their stock if normal feed is not ensured.
(3) It is therefore desirable to locate extra local fodder supplies for animal feed prior to the autumn.
(4) A derogation from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 should therefore be granted to authorise the use, in the regions concerned, of land set aside for arable crops for cattle fodder before expiry of the set-aside period, while providing for measures to ensure compliance with the non-lucrative nature of the use of such land.
(5) The measures in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. By way of derogation from Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside in the regions of the Community listed in the Annex to this Regulation may be used for animal feed during the year 2003/2004.
2. The Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure compliance with the non-lucrative nature of the use of the land set aside referred to in paragraph 1, in particular the exclusion of products harvested from such land from the arrangements for aid for dried fodder provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 4 July 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Annex III of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 131 1/22//96 (2), and in particular Articles 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, clenbuterol hydrochloride should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas Council Directive 96/22/EC (3) concerning the prohibition on the use in stockfarming of certain substances having a hormonal or thyrostatic action and of beta-agonists, prohibits the use of clenbuterol in all farm animals with the exception of some specific therapeutic purposes in equines and in cows;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (5), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 is amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
(3) The general and implementing rules provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 on export refunds are applicable mutatis mutandis to the abovementioned operations.
(4) The specific criteria to be used for calculating the export refund on rice are set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95.

Whereas Council Directive 92/32/EEC (2) amending Directive 67/548/EEC (3) for the seventh time, replaces the definition 'teratogenic' by 'toxic for reproduction' and introduces this modification into Directive 88/379/EEC;
Whereas Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC, as last amended by Commission Directive 92/37/EEC (4), provides for new criteria and new R type phrases for the category of danger 'toxic for reproduction', as well as new criteria for the use of certain R phrases concerning the nature of particular risks attributed to dangerous substances and preparations and in particular phrases R 33 and R 64;
Whereas the provisions set out in Annex I to Directive 88/379/EEC, as amended by Directive 90/492/EEC (5), should therefore be revised and supplemented;
Whereas Annex II to Directive 88/379/EEC contains special labelling provisions applicable to certain preparations; whereas these special labelling provisions apply without distinction to all preparations under consideration whether or not considered dangerous within the meaning of the Directive;
Whereas it is necessary to make special provisions in addition to those relating to labelling in the case of preparations which although they contain at least one substance which is dangerous are not necessarily dangerous within the meaning of Directive 88/379/EEC;
Whereas the special provisions applicable to certain preparations set out in Annex II to Directive 88/379/EEC as amended by Directive 89/178/EEC (6) should therefore be revised and supplemented;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the technical requirements with which wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors must comply pursuant to national laws relate, inter alia, to the installation, location, operation and identification of controls;
Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, in particular in order to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which was the subject of Council Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (3) as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal to be applied in respect of each tractor type;
Whereas the harmonization of these requirements is an obvious safety factor and, where the location of the controls and the symbols used for them are concerned, makes it possible to surmount the problem associated with indications in the various languages;
Whereas the approximation of the national laws relating to wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors entails recognition

by Member States of the checks carried out by each of them on the basis of common requirements,
1. 'Agricultural or forestry tractors' means any motor vehicle, fitted with wheels or endless tracks, having at least two axles, the main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load or passengers.
2. This Directive shall apply only to the tractors defined in paragraph 1, which are fitted with pneumatic tyres and have at least two axles and a maximum design speed of between 6 and 30 kilometres per hour.
N° Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval in respect of a tractor, or refuse or prohibit its sale, registration, entry into service or use on grounds relating to the installation, location, operation and identification of controls if the latter satisfy the requirements set out in Annexes I, II, III and IV.
This Directive shall not affect the right of Member States to specify - with due observance of the Treaty - the requirements they deem necessary to ensure that workers are
protected when using the tractors in question, provided this does not mean that the tractors are modified in a way unspecified in this Directive.
Any amendments necessary to adapt the requirements of the Annexes to technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 74/150/EEC.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 October 1987. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall ensure that the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2).
(5) Export refunds may be set to cover the competitive gap between Community and third country's exports. Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

The Agreement applies on a provisional basis from 1 August 2013.
(2) Appendix 2 to Annex I to the Agreement concerns the EU’s import tariff-rate quotas for goods originating in Central America. Two tariff quotas are granted exclusively to Panama. It is therefore necessary to open tariff quotas for such products.

The new codes should therefore be reflected in the Annex to this Regulation.
(4) Since the Agreement takes effect on 1 August 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Union tariff quotas are opened for the goods originating in Panama and listed in the Annex.
The customs duties applicable to imports into the Union of goods originating in Panama and listed in the Annex shall, within the respective tariff quotas set out in the Annex to this Regulation, be suspended.
The products listed in the Annex shall be accompanied by a proof of origin as set out in Appendix 3 of Annex II of the Agreement.

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) Common provisions for the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty should be adopted by way of Regulation or Directive pursuant to Article 83 of the Treaty. The Commission should be enabled to declare by way of regulation that the provisions of Article 81(1) of the Treaty do not apply to certain categories of agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices.

(4) It should be laid down under what specific conditions and in what circumstances the Commission may exercise such powers in close and constant liaison with the competent authorities of the Member States.
(5) It is desirable, in particular, that block exemptions be granted for certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Commission Decision 2001/649/EC of 9 August 2001 on the granting of aid for the production of table olives in Greece(3) provides for the lodging of a declaration to supplement the crop declaration or, as appropriate, a new declaration. To harmonise procedures and avoid the use of different supporting documents for olive oil and table olives, the same standard crop declaration should be used.
(2) Article 3 of Decision 2001/649/EC lays down the coefficient of equivalence between olive oil and table olives at 13 kilograms of oil for every 100 kilograms of olives. However, there are some dehydrated table olive preparations that differ from that coefficient considerably. A different coefficient should be laid down for those particular preparations that takes account of the significant loss of humidity in processed olives.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Decision 2001/649/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 5, the first and second subparagraphs are replaced by the following: "For the purposes of granting the aid for the production of table olives, growers must have lodged a crop declaration in accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 of 30 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil."
2. In Article 3(1), the following is added: "However, in the case of olives that are dehydrated after undergoing processing and have lost at least 20 % of the weight they had prior to processing, the coefficient of equivalence between olive oil and table olives shall be 16,5 kilograms of olive oil for every 100 kilograms of processes table olives."
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1602/92 of 15 June 1992 temporarily derogating from implementation of Community anti-dumping measures on imports into the Canary Islands of certain sensitive products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1) .
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2) .
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands(3) stipulates, inter alia, that as from 1 July 1991 the Canary Islands are to be an integral part of the Community's customs territory, that the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) is to be gradually introduced and the common commercial policy applies to those islands in line with the conditions laid down for Spain in the Act of Accession; whereas, however, application of the common commercial policy may in particular be subject to derogations, where appropriate, in respect of vertain sensitive products, to accompany the gradual introduction of the CCT;
Whereas Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican)(4) stipulates in particular that at the request, with supporting documents, of the competent Spanish authorithies, specific measures derogating from the common commercial policy may be considered in respect of certain sensitive products, on a case-by-case basis to take account of particular problems in a given sector of local production intended for local consumption or tourism, and/or to allow access for consumer goods such as textiles, clothes, optical and electronic equipment or means of transport;
Whereas, in their letters of July 1991, the competent Spanish authorities requested exemption form the anti-dumping duties applied to imports of certain major consumer electronic goods originating in certain non-member countries; whereas, during the examination of the request, the same authorities provided an additional list of products to be exempted from anti-dumping duty on import;
Whereas anti-dumping measures fall within the scope of the common commercial policy; whereas, therefore, temporary derogation from their application to imports of certain prodcuts into the Canary Islands is possible under point 7.1 of the Annex to Decision 91/314/EEC;
Whereas the sensitive products which might be covered by the specific measures applied for under point 7.1 of the Annex to Decision 91/314/EEC by the competent Spanish authorities should be determined according to the criteria laid down in that provision and on the basis of the requests filed; whereas, following case-by-case examination, it appears that then of those products fall within the category of consumer goods for the domestic market, access of which to the Canary Islands should be allowed through the specific measures; whereas none of the other products in respect of which requests have been filed fulfils the conditions laid down in the said point 7.1; whereas the measures requested are therefore justified in respect of imports of compact disc players, video cassette recorders, small-screen colour television receivers, audio and video cassettes, electronic typewriters, dot-matrix printers, plain paper photocopiers, car radios and espadrilles, as detailed in Annex I to this Regulation;
Whereas the request from the Spanish authorities covered the whole of the transitional period from the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91; whereas for this reason and to ensure continuity during the said period the specific measures applicable from 1 July 1991 should be established;
Whereas the said measures may be adopted to accompany the gradual introduction of the CCT in the Canary Islands; whereas it is therefore appropriate to phase out the exemptions, during the transitional period ending on 31 December 2000 provided for under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91, by gradually applying anti-dumping duties in the Canary Islands, in step with the introduction of the CCT; whereas the request from the Spanish authorities to benefit from total exemption from anti-dumping duties from 1 July 1991 in respect of the products in question is aimed at ensuring continuity in the way these products are supplied to the Canary Islands und whereas such a request appears to be justified for an initial period endiung on 31 December 1995; whereas at the end of this period, intended to enable operators on the local market to adjust to the new tariff arragements being introduced in the territory of the Canary Islands, anti-dumping duties in respect of the products in question shall be collected gradually as a percentage of the anti-dumping duties payable on those products in the Community, increasing by 20 % a year from 1996 to become payable in full at the end of the transitional period;
Whereas point 7.2 of the Annex to Decision 91/314/EEC states that the specific measures adopted in derogation from the common commercial policy in respect of sensitive products must be tailored to the Canary Islands' domestic market to avoid any deflection of trade; whereas it is therefore appropriate to establish fixed annual quantities for each product in respect of which exemption is granted to ensure that the products are imported solely to cover domestic demand; whereas the said quantities should be calculated with reference to the volume of customary annual consumption on the islands prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91;
Whereas responsibility for monitoring compliance with the quantitative limits referred to above should be devolved upon the competent Spanish authorities, who should be asked, nevertheless, to inform the Commission at regular intervals;
Whereas the limited validity of the anti-dumping measures might result in Annex I to this Regulation being updated; whereas provision should be made to review once a year, at the request of the Spanish authorities, the list of sensitive products in the said Annex, whereas only products already classified as sensitive under Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92 temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on imports of certain industrial products to the Canary Islands(5) , and on imports on which anti-dumping duties have recently been imposed, may be entered on the said list; whereas the fixed annual quantities for these products shall be calculated with reference to the average annual volume of demand on the Canary Islands before the anti-dumping duties are imposed; whereas the task of carrying out this periodic review should be entrusted to the Commission, assisted by the Advisory Committee set up under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88(6) ,
1. Imports into the Canary Islands of products listed in Annex I shall, within the limits of the fixed quantities given therein, be subject to specific arrangements for the collection of anti-dumping duties.
2. Under the specific arrangements referred to in paragraph 1:
- from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 1995, full exemption from anti-dumping duties shall be granted;
- from 1 January 1996, collection shall be gradually increased in accordance with the details given in Annex II.
3. The competent Spanish authorities shall adopt the necessary measures to administer and control the fixed quantities referred to under paragraph 1.
1. For the products referred to in Article 1, the competent Spanish authorities shall inform the Commission by the fifteenth day of each month starting on 15 September 1992 of the volume of goods imported in exemption from anti-dumping duties or for which duties were only partially collected during the preceding quarter.
2. The information sent on 15 September 1992 shall cover all imports of the products concerned having taken place since the entry into force of this Regulation.
Each year the Commission may, at the request of the Spanish authorities, review the list of products in Annex I.
When reviewing the list referred to in Article 3, the Commission shall be assisted by a committee of an advisory nature.
The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, if necessary by taking a vote.
The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes; in addition, each Member State shall have the right to ask to have its position recorded in the minutes.
The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the committee. It shall inform the committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken into account.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 October 1998 on the granting of aid for the production of table olives in Portugal (notified under document number C(1998) 3340) (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (98/620/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 (2), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas Article 5(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC grants the Member States the possibility of allocating part of their national guaranteed quantities and of their olive-oil production aid to support for table olives under conditions to be approved by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of that Regulation;
Whereas Portugal has presented a request in respect of the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas detailed rules should be laid down on the granting of the aid;
Whereas provision should be made for the aid to be granted to growers of processed table olives from olive groves in Portugal and the conditions governing the granting of the aid should be specified;
Whereas the processing period should be defined as running from 1 November 1998 to 31 August 1999; whereas fresh olives entering the processing undertaking before 1 September 1998 are not considered to be processed during that period; whereas olives which have undergone initial treatment in brine lasting at least 15 days and have been removed from the brine definitively or failing that have undergone treatment making them fit for human consumption should be deemed to be processed olives;
Whereas the weight of processed table olives on which aid is payable and the equivalence between processed table olives and olive oil should be determined for the purposes of calculating the unit aid on table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities;
Whereas undertakings processing table olives must be approved in accordance with conditions to be determined;
Whereas provision should be made for checks on aid for table olives; whereas those provisions must in particular cover crop declarations by table-olive growers, notifications by processors of the quantities of olives delivered by growers and leaving the processing chain, and the obligations on paying agencies regarding controls; whereas provision should be made for penalties on table-olive growers where their declarations conflict with the results of checks conducted;
Whereas the information needed for calculating the aid to be granted to growers of processed table olives should be determined; whereas an advance on the aid may be granted under certain conditions;
Whereas Portugal must notify the Commission of the national measures adopted for the purposes of applying this Decision and of the information used for calculating the advance on the aid and the definitive aid;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1998/99 olive-oil marketing year, Portugal is hereby authorised to grant aid for the production of table olives in accordance with this Decision.
1. Aid for the production of table olives shall be granted to growers of olives which come from olive groves in Portugal and are sent to approved processing undertakings for processing into table olives.
2. The aid shall be granted on table olives processed from 1 November 1998 to 31 August 1999.
However, olives which entered approved processing undertakings before 1 September 1998 shall not be taken into consideration.
3. Within the meaning of this Decision, 'processed table olives` means olives that have undergone for at least 15 days' initial treatment in brine and have been removed from the brine definitively or failing that have undergone treatment making them fit for human consumption.
1. For the purposes of calculating the unit aid on table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities of olive oil, 100 kg of processed table olives shall be deemed to be equivalent to 10 kg of olive oil eligible for production aid as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
2. The weight of processed table olives to be taken into consideration shall be the drained net weight of whole olives after processing, possibly bruised but not stoned.
1. Approval numbers shall be allocated to undertakings which:
- submit an application for approval accompanied by the information referred to in paragraph 2 and the commitments referred to in paragraph 3,
- market processed table olives, with or without additional preparation,
- have received or are receiving approval to undertake industrial activities under national legislation.
2. Applications for approval shall include at least:
- a description of the processing plant and storage facilities, with details of their capacity,
- a description of the types of table-olive preparations marketed, indicating the average weight of processed table olives required for one kilogram of each type of prepared product,
- details of stocks of table olives at various stages of preparation, by type of preparation, at 1 September and 1 November 1998.
3. For the purposes of approval, processors shall undertake to:
- keep table olives on which aid is payable separate from table olives originating in third countries and those on which aid is not payable when taking delivery of, processing and storing them;
- keep stock accounts covering table olives, linked to the financial accounts and indicating, for each day:
(a) the quantities of olives entering the establishment, showing each consignment separately and identifying the grower of each,
(b) the quantities of olives sent for processing within the meaning of Article 2(3) and the quantities of table olives processed,
(c) the quantities of table olives for which the process of preparation has been completed,
(d) the quantities of table olives leaving the undertaking, broken down by type of preparation and indicating the consignees,
- provide the grower and the competent body with the documents and the information referred to in Article 6 in accordance with the conditions laid down therein;
- submit to all checks provided for under this Decision.
4. Approval shall be refused or immediately withdrawn where undertakings:
- fail to comply with the conditions for approval, or
- are prosecuted by the competent authorities for irregularities in respect of the arrangements provided for in Regulation No 136/66/EEC, or
- have been penalised for an infringement of that Regulation within the past 24 months.
For the purposes of granting the aid for the production of table olives, in addition to the crop declaration required for olive-oil production aid, olive growers shall, by 31 December 1998, lodge a supplementary declaration or, as appropriate, a new declaration containing the same information as the crop declaration for olive oil but referring to table olives.
Where the information concerned has already been furnished by a crop declaration for olive oil, the supplementary declaration shall simply indicate the references to the crop declaration and the parcels concerned.
The declarations concerning table olives shall be included in the alphanumeric database provided for in connection with the aid scheme for olive oil production.
1. On delivery of the olives, approved undertakings shall issue growers of table olives with a certificate of delivery showing the net weight of olives entering the undertaking. Such certificates must be issued before 1 December 1998 in respect of olives entering the undertaking from 1 September 1998 to 31 October 1998 for processing from 1 November 1998.
2. Approved undertakings shall notify the competent body and the control agency:
(a) by the tenth day of each month, of:
- the quantities of olives received, sent for processing and processed in the course of the previous month,
- the quantities of olives prepared and sent out, broken down by type of preparation, in the course of the previous month,
- the aggregate quantities referred to in the first two indents and the stock situation at the end of the previous month;
(b) before 1 July 1999, of the names of growers delivering table olives in respect of the 1998/99 olive-oil marketing year and of the quantities covered by certificates issued in accordance with paragraph 1;
(c) before 1 June 2000, of the total quantities delivered in respect of the 1998/99 olive-oil marketing year and of the total corresponding quantities processed.
1. Before 1 July 1999, table-olive growers shall lodge aid applications, directly or indirectly, with the competent body, containing at least the following details:
- the name and address of the grower,
- the location of the holdings and the parcels where olives were harvested, with a reference to the relevant crop declaration,
- the approved undertaking to which the olives were delivered.
Such applications shall be accompanied by certificates of delivery as referred to in Article 6(1).
Where applicable, applications may be accompanied by an application for an advance on the aid.
2. Applications lodged after the deadline shall incur a penalty consisting in a reduction of 1 % of the amount to which the grower would have been entitled had the application been lodged by the due date, for each working day of delay. Applications lodged more than 25 working days late shall be refused.
1. Before the definitive payment of the aid, the competent body shall carry out the controls required to check:
- the quantities of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued,
- the quantities of table olives processed, broken down by grower.
Controls shall involve:
- a number of physical inspections of goods in stock and a check of the accounts of approved undertakings,
- stricter checks of aid applications from olive growers applying for aid on both table olives and olive oil.
2. Portugal shall see that all the necessary controls are in place to ensure that:
- entitlement to table-olive production aid is respected,
- olives entering an undertaking approved under this Decision are excluded from eligibility for olive-oil production aid,
- no more than one aid application is lodged for the same olives.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down by Portugal, no aid shall be granted to table-olive growers whose declarations as provided for in Article 5 or whose aid applications in accordance with Article 7 prove to conflict with the results of checks conducted.
1. The advance on the aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 (3), multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting advances to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a provisional processing coefficient to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be established by the competent body depending on the data available on the approved undertaking concerned. However, the quantity of table olives taken into consideration may not exceed 90 % of the quantity of table olives delivered.
2. Advances on the aid shall be paid from 16 October 1999 to growers applying therefore in accordance with Article 7(1).
0
1. The aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting the aid to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a processing coefficient for the undertaking concerned to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be equal to the ratio between the total quantity of table olives processed on the one hand, and the total quantity of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued on the other hand, in respect of the 1998/99 olive-oil marketing year.
Where the quantity of processed olives corresponding to the aid as set out in the certificate of delivery cannot be established, the quantities of table olives processed for the growers concerned shall be calculated on the basis of the average coefficient for the other undertakings. However, without prejudice to any claims which the olive growers concerned might make against the undertaking, that quantity of processed olives may not exceed 75 % of the quantity shown in the certificate of delivery.
2. The rate applicable for converting the aid into Portuguese escudos shall be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the first day of the month of the first delivery of olives by the grower concerned.
3. Once the controls referred to in Article 8 have been carried out, the aid or, where applicable, the balance of the aid shall be paid to the grower in full within 90 days of fixing by the Commission of the unit amount thereof.
1
Portugal shall notify the Commission:
- without delay, of the national measures taken pursuant to this Decision,
- before 1 August 1999, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the estimated output of table olives processed and of the provisional processing coefficients for that estimate,
- before 16 June 2000, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the actual output of table olives processed and of the processing coefficients adopted.

This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
It shall apply from 1 November 1998.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Improving the transparency of Union law is an essential element of the better lawmaking strategy that the institutions of the Union are implementing. In that context it is appropriate to remove from the legislation in force those acts which no longer have real effect.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 of the Council (2) was adopted in order to determine the reduced fixed component of the import duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported in the framework of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, signed on 23 November 1970.
(3) Decision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union (3) lays down the rules for determining the customs duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported into the European Union. Therefore Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 has become obsolete.
(4) For reasons of legal certainty and clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 should therefore be repealed,
1. Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 is repealed.
2. The repeal of the act referred to in paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to:
(a) the maintenance in force of Union acts adopted on the basis of the act referred to in paragraph 1; and
(b) the continuing validity of amendments made by the act referred to in paragraph 1 to other Union acts that are not repealed by this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1431/2004 (2) opens an invitation to tender setting the indicative refund rates and indicative quantities for system A3 export licences, which may be issued, other than those tendered for as part of food aid.
(2) In the light of the tenders submitted, the maximum refund rates and the percentages of quantities to be awarded for tenders quoting those maximum rates should be set.
(3) In the case of table grapes, the maximum rate necessary to award licences for the indicative quantity up to the quantities tendered for is more than one-and-a-half times the indicative refund rate. The rate must therefore be set in accordance with Article 4(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (3).
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
In the case of table grapes, the maximum refund rates and the percentages for reducing the quantities awarded under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 1431/2004 shall be fixed in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 September 2004.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1469/95
of 22 June 1995
on measures to be taken with regard to certain beneficiaries of operations financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, at its meetings in June 1993 in Copenhagen and December 1994 in Essen, the European Council stressed the importance of pursuing the campaign against fraud and irregularities affecting the Community budget; whereas there should be a reinforcement of those measures designed to ensure that the Community funds intended for the implementation of the common agricultural policy (CAP) are not granted to persons or companies which do not offer all the guarantees of reliability as to the proper execution of the operations concerned;
Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), lays down, in particular, that Member States are under an obligation to take all the measures necessary to ensure that transactions financed by the Fund are actually carried out and properly executed, and to prevent and follow up irregularities;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 595/91 of 4 March 1991 concerning irregularities and the recovery of sums wrongly paid in connection with the financing of the common agricultural policy and the organization of an information system in this field and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 283/72 (5), provides, among other things, for the Member States regularly to inform the Commission of cases of irregularities and judicial or administrative procedures sanctioning persons who have committed irregularities, in order to acquire systematic knowledge of the nature of the fraudulent practices and to recover sums wrongly paid;
Whereas these provisions need to be supplemented by a Community system allowing all the national authorities to identify, in connection with tendering procedures, grant of export refunds or sales at reduced prices of intervention products, operators who have deliberately or as a result of serious negligence committed an irregularity prejudicial to Community funds or who are suspected on solid grounds of having done so; whereas, on that basis, there must be determined, in the light of the seriousness of the offence and depending on whether it has been established or suspected, a series of varied measures ranging from reinforced controls to the exclusion of the operators concerned from taking part in operations to be determined when their fraudulent actions are established;
Whereas, in order to provide operators with a maximum of guarantees, it would be advisable to adopt the essential features of the corresponding provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 595/91, in particular with regard to the observance of confidentiality and professional secrecy and the national rules relating to criminal proceedings; whereas, with regard to data protection, the relevant provisions laid down for that purpose in the rules on mutual assistance in customs and agricultural matters may be applied;
Whereas this system must be supplementary to the specific provisions already existing or to be adopted in the future under the CAP with a view to preventing irregularities, in particular those provisions relating to controls and sanctions established by the Commission by virtue of its powers confirmed by the Court of Justice;
Whereas, furthermore, as part of an across-the-board campaign against fraud, on 7 July 1994 the Commission submitted a proposal for a Regulation (EC, Euratom) on protection of the Community's financial interests (6), whereas, on the adoption of that Regulation by the Council, the common set of legal rules enacted by it for all areas of Community policy will apply to the measures introduced by this Regulation; whereas, until that Regulation is adopted, provision should be made for the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation temporarily to include similar rules, in particular as regards the definition of the irregularities involved,
1. A Community system is hereby established for the purpose of identifying and making known as rapidly as possible to all the competent authorities of the Member States and the Commission operators presenting, on the grounds of experience acquired with them as regards the proper execution of their previous obligations, a risk of non-reliability in connection with tendering procedures, export refunds and sales at reduced prices or intervention products, financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘operators presenting a risk of non-reliability’ means operators, whether natural or legal persons, who:
(a) according to a final decision of an administrative or judicial authority, have deliberately or through serious negligence committed an irregularity in respect of relevant Community provisions and have unjustly benefited from a financial advantage or attempted to benefit therefrom;
(b) have been the subject, in this respect, on the basis of established facts, of a preliminary administrative or judicial report by the competent authorities of the Member State.
3. Pending the entry into force of horizontal provisions defining irregularities, the conduct referred to in paragraph 2 (a) shall be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5.
1. The identification procedures and rules relating to notification shall be implemented on the initiative of the Member State in which the risk of the operator's non-reliability is identified.
2. Where a Member State fails to fulfil its obligation under paragraph 1 the Commission shall, within the framework of the existing legal provisions, ensure that the identification and notification system is implemented by the Member State concerned.
1. Member States shall take the following measures to deal with the operators referred to in Article 1 (2) (a):
(a) reinforced checking of all operations performed by the operator, and/or
(b) suspension, going as far as an administrative determination of the existence of an irregularity or of the absence of an irregularity, of payment of amounts relating to current operations, to be determined, and, where appropriate, of release of the guarantee relating thereto, and/or
(c) their exclusion for a period of time from operations to be determined.
The measures referred to under points (b) and (c) shall be determined by the competent authorities of the Member State in accordance with criteria laid down in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 5, having due regard to the risk of further irregularities that may be committed by the operator. They shall be adopted after any formalities relating thereto laid down in the laws of the Member States have been completed.
2. As regards the operators referred to in Article 1 (2) (b), only the measures set out in paragraph 1 points (a) and (b) shall apply.
3. Where, under a tendering procedure, the Commission itself awards a contract, it shall, as appropriate, take or propose to the Member State, one or more of the measures set out in paragraph 1.
1. The measures referred to in Article 3 shall comply with the following principles, in accordance with the national law of the Member State:
(a) a prior hearing and right of appeal by the operator concerned in respect of the measures referred to in Article 3 (1) (c) and, where appropriate, (b);
(b) proportionality between the irregularity committed or suspected and one or other of the measures referred to in Article 3 (1), subject to the provisions to be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5;
(c) non-discrimination between operators.
2. Member States and the Commission shall take all necessary precautions to ensure that the information which they exchange pursuant to this Regulation remains confidential.
Such information may not, in particular, be sent to persons other than those in the Member States or within the Community institutions whose duties require that they have access to it, unless the Member State supplying it has expressly so agreed.
Information communicated or acquired in any form under this Regulation shall be covered by professional confidentiality and protected in the same way as similar information is protected by the national legislation of the Member State that received it and by the corresponding provisions applicable to the Community institutions.
In addition, that information may not be used for purposes other than those provided for in this Regulation unless the authorities providing it have expressly agreed and provided that the provisions in force in the Member State in which the authority that has received it is located do not prohibit such communication or use.
As regards data protection, the relevant provisions laid down in the rules on mutual assistance in customs and agricultural matters shall apply.
3. The provisions of this Regulation shall not affect the application in the Member States of rules governing criminal proceedings and mutual assistance in criminal matters between Member States. They shall not prevent the use, in the context of judicial proceedings or of proceedings brought subsequently for non-compliance with agricultural regulations, of information obtained pursuant to this Regulation; in the latter case the competent authority of the Member State which provided such information shall be notified of such use.
However, Member States shall take the administrative measures necessary to ensure that the provisions of the first subparagraph are applied in such a way as not to hinder the effective application of this Regulation as regards the operators referred to in Article 1 (2) (b).
If national laws provide for the confidentiality of judicial investigations, communication of information as provided for in this Regulation shall be subject to authorization by the competent judicial authority. The competent administrative authority shall secure such authorization at the earliest opportunity.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70. They shall concern, among other things:
— the notifications to be made by the Member States;
— the nature of the links between different natural or legal persons which may result in their being regarded as operators within the meaning of this Regulation;
— the conditions under which operators may avoid the suspension of payments as referred to in Article 3 (1) (b) by lodging a security.
This Regulation shall be supplementary to the specific provisions under the CAP.
The Commission shall present to the European Parliament and the Council by 6 July 1997 a report on the implementation of this Regulation and, in the light of experience gained, shall propose amendments that may be needed to the arrangements introduced by this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 996/97 (2) provides for the opening and administration, on a multi-annual basis, of an import tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91.
(2) The first paragraph of Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) provides that import licences should not be valid after the last day of the import tariff quota period.
(3) In order to align the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 996/97 to those in Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Regulation (EC) No 996/97 was amended by Regulation (EC) No 568/2007, in particular by deleting the provision concerning the period of validity of import licences.
(4) Since Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (4) provides that import licences shall be valid 90 days from their date of issue, it is necessary to clarify in Regulation (EC) No 996/97 that licences should be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 996/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to ensure that the import licences issued for the import tariff quota period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 are valid until the end of that import tariff quota period, it should be provided that this amendment applies as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 996/97, the following paragraph 3 is added:
‘3. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, import licences shall be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to import licences issued as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
