Whereas promotional and publicity measures for milk and milk products commenced in the Community in 1978 and have continued since then owing to their effectiveness in expanding the markets in milk products in the Member States; whereas they should accordingly be continued and duly qualified organizations should be invited again to propose detailed programmes of measures which these organizations would themselves carry out;
Whereas the organizations which will be responsible for the measures must satisfy certain conditions; whereas in particular care must be taken to ensure that milk products from the Community are promoted; whereas the guidelines to be followed in this context were laid down in Commission communication 86/C 272/03 concerning State involvement in the promotion of agricultural and fisheries products (3); whereas the activities of the organizations concerned as a whole must not in particular be liable to clash with the aim pursued in promoting the disposal of milk products; whereas it is therefore essential that proposals from organizations whose activities also cover the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products should be barred;
Whereas amendments should be made to the earlier Regulations, notably as regards the implementation of the Community-wide information programme, account being taken of relevant experience;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the deadline for the presentation of the report by the contractor is complied with, provision should be made where that deadline is exceeded for an amount to be withheld from the Community funds allocated;

Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 of the Commission of 29 May 1970 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector
|
REGULATION (EEC) No 1019/70 OF THE COMMISSION of 29 May 1970 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 816/70 (1) of 28 April 1970 laying down additional provisions for the common organisation of the market in wine, and in particular Articles 9 (6) and 37 thereof;
Whereas Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 provides for a free-at-frontier offer price to be determined for all imports on the basis of all available information, in respect of each wine for which a reference price is fixed;
Whereas, in order to establish the free-at-frontier offer price as precisely as possible, the information to be considered should be specified, namely, apart from the prices entered in customs and commercial documents, any other information concerning prices ruling in third countries;
Whereas, in order not to jeopardise the level of prices in the Community and to ensure priority for the disposal of Community wines, it is necessary to establish the free-at-frontier offer prices on the basis of the most advantageous purchase possibilities in international trade ; whereas, for the free-at-frontier offer prices to be as representative as possible, certain information should be left out of the calculation - where small quantities are involved for example;
Whereas, for reasons of comparability, it is necessary when determining free-at-frontier offer prices to adjust the basis of the calculation according to the marketing stage and to the characteristics of the wine in question;
Whereas the conditions under which it is appropriate to fix, alter or withdraw a countervailing charge should be determined;
Whereas the levying of a countervailing charge is not justified, in view of their price, for certain liqueur wines accompanied by a certificate of origin;
Whereas the identification of white wine imported under the name "Riesling" or "Sylvaner" can be made easier by the obligation to submit on import a licence issued by the producer country;
Whereas such a system can be applied only provided corresponding provisions are introduced concerning the movement of such wines ; whereas a temporary system should be introduced until rules are adopted on the basis of Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70;
Whereas reference prices are fixed either per degree/hl or per hectolitre ; whereas this distinction should be maintained when fixing the amount of the countervailing charge ; whereas it is nevertheless necessary to provide for appropriate provisions allowing the practical application of countervailing charges fixed per degree/hl, taking into account a certain standardisation;
Whereas Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 provides that a countervailing charge may also be fixed in respect of imports of products, other than wine, listed in Article 1 (2) of that Regulation ; whereas for determining the countervailing charge in respect of such products, account should be taken of the ratio existing on the Community market between the average price of the products in question and that of the wine;
Whereas the ratio for musts is 0.95;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Wine; (1)OJ No L 99, 5.5.1970, p. 1.
1. Free-at-frontier offer prices shall be fixed on the basis of all available information and, in particular, in the light of all communications from Member States. For that purpose, Member States shall use statements made in customs documents accompanying imported products as well as in invoices and any other trade documents.
2. To determine free-at-frontier offer prices, account shall moreover be taken of all information concerning prices ruling in third countries, whether they be: (a) prices ruling on export by third countries;
(b) prices recorded on import into the Community;
(c) prices recorded on Community markets in respect of imported products;
(d) prices noted on the markets of importing or exporting third countries ; or
(e) prices resulting from compensation transactions.
3. In order to obtain such information, the following sources shall in particular be consulted: (a) official information published by the competent authorities of exporting or importing third countries;
(b) information published by specialised production or trade journals both in Member States and in third countries;
(c) information supplied by professional organisations representing producers and traders both in Member States and in third countries.
4. No account shall be taken of information concerning supplies which have no economic effect on the market, in particular owing to the small quantities involved.
1. Prices referred to in Article 1 which do not apply: (a) free-at-Community-frontier;
(b) to any wine corresponding to the one whose guide price was taken into account for fixing the reference price,
shall be adjusted.
2. The adjustment referred to in paragraph 1 (a) shall be made by taking into account the cost of transport from the place where the price was recorded to the Community frontier.
3. The adjustment referred to in paragraph 1 (b) shall be made by taking into account the price ratio existing on the Community market between the types of wine in question.
1. The free-at-frontier offer prices shall be fixed on the basis of the most advantageous purchasing possibilities of the products in question calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 and 2.
2. Where a second free-at-frontier offer price is fixed for a product coming from a third country, offer prices shall be fixed, on the basis of the second offer price mentioned above, for the other products coming from that third country, provided they stand in close economic relationship with the product in question. Such offer prices shall be fixed taking into account the normal relationship existing between the prices of the products in question.
1. A countervailing charge shall be fixed for a wine when it is recorded that the free-at-frontier offer price for the wine in question plus customs duty falls below the reference price for that wine.
2. The countervailing charge shall be altered when a noticeable variation in the free-at-frontier offer price is recorded.
3. The countervailing charge shall be withdrawn when it is recorded that the free-at-frontier offer price plus customs duty is equal to or exceeds the reference price.
4. The countervailing charge shall not be levied on: (a) Port wines
(b) Madeira wines
(c) Sherry wines
(d) Tokay wines (Aszu and Szamorodni)
(e) Samos muscat wines
(f) Setubal Muscatel wines
for which a certificate of origin is produced.
Subject to the provisions of Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1) of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of origin of goods and until special Community provisions are adopted on the procedure for issuing and on the contents of such certificates, these shall be accepted by the Member States.
1. A white wine offered for import under the name of "Riesling" or "Sylvaner" may not be imported and marketed under that name unless it is accompanied by a certificate authenticated by the competent authorities stating that the wine in question is produced from those vine varieties.
2. Until special Community provisions are adopted on the procedure for issuing and on the contents of such certificates, these shall be accepted by the Member States.
1. Where the reference price is fixed per degree/hl, the countervailing charge shall also be fixed per degree/hl.
2. Where the reference price is fixed per hectolitre, the countervailing charge shall also be fixed per hectolitre.
1. In the case referred to in Article 6 (1), the charge to be levied per hectolitre on import shall be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the actual alcoholic strength of the imported wine by the amount fixed per degree/hl for that wine.
2. However, wines which have an actual alcoholic strength of less than 8.5ยบ shall be subject to the countervailing charge applicable to wines having an actual alcoholic strength equal to 8.5ยบ.
1. When the countervailing charge referred to in Article 4 is fixed for imports of red or white wine, a countervailing charge shall be fixed for imports of musts of the same colour.
2. The countervailing charge to be levied on must shall be fixed by applying to that which is levied on red wine or, according to the colour of the must, on white wine, a coefficient which takes account of the ratio 0.95 existing on the Community market between the average price of must and that of wine.
3. Where the countervailing charge applying to the wine is fixed per degree/hl, the charge to be levied on imports per hectolitre of must shall be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the potential alcoholic strength of imported must by the amount fixed per degree/hl for such must.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1970.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 42 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2) allows exceptionally, until 31 December 2014, under certain conditions and when organically reared pullets are not available, for non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks to be brought into an organic livestock unit.
(2) The development of harmonised organic production rules for young poultry at Union level is complex, as views on technical requirements vary widely. In order to allow more time to establish detailed rules for the production of organic pullets, the exceptional provision for using non-organic pullets should be extended for three years.
(3) Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 allows exceptionally, for calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014, for a maximum of 5 % of non-organic protein feed to be used for porcine and poultry species.
(4) Organic protein supply has not been available in sufficient quality and quantity on the Union market to meet the nutritional requirements of pigs and poultry raised on organic farms. The production of organic protein crops is still lagging behind demand. It is therefore appropriate to extend the exceptional possibility of using a limited proportion of non-organic protein feed for a limited time period.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory committee on organic production,
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) In Article 42(b), the date ‘31 December 2014’ is replaced by the date ‘31 December 2017’.
(2) In Article 43, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 (2) makes no specific provision to take account of a change in the intervention price at the end of the marketing year.
(2) From the 2004/05 marketing year the intervention price for rice will fall from EUR 298,35/t to EUR 150/t, exclusive of any monthly increase. To prevent any distortion of competition, the fall in the intervention price must be taken into account when determining the amount of the subsidy applicable to exports of rice covered by subsidy documents issued during the previous marketing year but still valid at the beginning of the 2004/05 marketing year. To that end, Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 should provide for that to be taken into account.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 should be amended accordingly.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2003 (3) opened an invitation to tender for the subsidy on consignments of husked long-grain B rice to Réunion.
(5) The time limit for this procedure should be extended to 29 July.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 4(2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 are hereby replaced by the following:
‘2. Where the validity of the subsidy document referred to in Article 13 extends beyond the end of the marketing year and where export takes place during the following marketing year, the amount of the subsidy resulting from the procedure provided for in Article 9 shall be adjusted where necessary by subtracting the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice in the previous and the new marketing year, exclusive of any monthly increase.
3. The adjustment provided for in paragraph 2 shall take account of the conversion rates specified in Article 1 of Regulation No 467/67/EEC. If the amount of the subsidy resulting from this adjustment is below zero, that amount shall be raised to zero.’

COMMISSION DECISION of 7 April 1998 concerning the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing fenvalerate as an active substance (Text with EEA relevance) (98/270/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/97 (2), and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95 (4), has laid down the active substances of plant protection products and designated the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92;
Whereas fenvalerate was one of the 90 active substances covered by the first stage of the work programme provided for in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5);
Whereas for this substance the notifiers concerned formally submitted to the designated rapporteur Member State certain information as required pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 to support the inclusion of this active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC;
Whereas in accordance with Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 the designated rapporteur Member State informed the Commission that neither of the dossiers submitted satisfied the requirements of Article 6(2) and (3) of the Regulation;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 6(5) of the Regulation, no Member State has informed the Commission of its wish to secure the inclusion of this active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC;
Whereas it has to be considered that a complete data package required for the evaluation of this substance will not be submitted in the framework of the work programme; whereas an evaluation and inclusion in Annex I of this substance is not possible in this framework; whereas consequently a decision should be taken with the effect that current authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substance are withdrawn;
Whereas this Decision does not exclude the possibility that fenvalerate may in the future be evaluated within the framework of the provisions for new active substances provided for in Article 6 of Directive 91/414/EEC;

Commission Implementing Decision of 12 February 2014 on the extension of financing of special emergency measures to protect the Union from rabies
|
14.2.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 43/6
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 12 February 2014
on the extension of financing of special emergency measures to protect the Union from rabies
2014/C 43/09
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2009/470/EC provides that where a Member State is directly threatened by the occurrence or development, in the territory of a third country, of a disease listed in the Annex to that Decision, any measure appropriate to the situation may be adopted, including the granting of a financial contribution by the Union towards the measures deemed particularly necessary for the success of the actions undertaken.
(2) Commission Decision 2009/582/EC of 29 July 2009 on the financing of special emergency measures to protect the Community from rabies (2) and Commission Decision 2011/C 64/05 of 25 February 2011 on the extension of financing of special emergency measures to protect the Union from rabies (3) approved the financing of a rabies elimination plan in the territory of the Kaliningrad region of Russia.
(3) Rabies is an animal disease that mainly affects wild and domestic carnivores and has serious public health implications and is listed in the Annex to Decision 2009/470/EC.
(4) The territory of the Kaliningrad Region, an exclave of Russia surrounded by Union territory, is adjacent to Member States that have achieved to eliminate rabies from most of their territory. A special measure was necessary to prevent continuing reinfection of neighbouring Member States from the Kaliningrad region and aiming to eliminate the disease also from its territory.
(5) Given the relative size of the territory of the Kaliningrad region, it is more appropriate and cost-efficient to assist in the efforts towards the elimination of rabies in that region than to put in place vaccination buffer zones in the territories of the neighbouring Member States which would have to be maintained indefinitely.
(6) As a result of the implementation of the above mentioned plan, in 2013 no rabies cases have been detected in the Kaliningrad region as well as in the areas of Lithuania and Poland that are adjacent thereto.
(7) To ensure rabies is eliminated from a territory, it is necessary to continue without interruption the implementation of oral vaccination activities twice-yearly for at least 2 years following the detection of the last case of the disease.
(8) The Union-financed 36-month plan currently in place expires on the 31 May 2014.
(9) To safeguard the results achieved through Union co-financing over the past years and to ensure the achievement of the objective of eliminating rabies from the Kaliningrad Region and the risk of its reintroduction to neighbouring Union territory, it is necessary that the financial support to the rabies elimination activities in the Kaliningrad Region is extended for an additional 24-month period.
(10) On 13 January 2013, Russia has submitted to the Commission a plan for the elimination of rabies from the Kaliningrad region for the period between June 2014 and May 2016 and that plan was found to be acceptable as regards the objective of protecting the Union against rabies. The actions foreseen in that plan are essential for the protection of Union interest and it is therefore appropriate that certain measures receive Union co-financing. A Union financial contribution should therefore be granted in 2014 for the implementation of that plan.
(11) In accordance with Article 84 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 and with Article 94 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 of 29 October 2012 on the rules of application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing Decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(12) In addition, Commission Decision 2011/C 64/05 will become obsolete and should be repealed.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The rabies elimination plan in the Kaliningrad Region (the plan) submitted by Russia is hereby approved for the period between 1 June 2014 and 31 May 2016.
2. The action under this Decision shall cover the following measures which constitute part of the foreseen activities under the plan referred to in paragraph 1:
— purchase of the vaccine baits for the oral immunisation of wild carnivores,
— distribution in the territory of the Kaliningrad region of the vaccine baits referred in the preceding point.
The maximum contribution of the Union is set at EUR 1 100 000 to be financed from budget line 17 04 04 of the General Budget of the Union for the financial year 2014.
1. The award of an individual grant to the State Veterinary Agency of the Kaliningrad region of Russia ‘Regional Centre for Combating Animal Disease’ (Государственное учреждение ветеринарии Калининградской области „Областная станция по борьбе с болезнями животных“) is authorised.
2. The measures referred to in Article 1(2) may be financed up to 100 % of the corresponding eligible costs, provided that part of the total costs of the action is borne by the State Veterinary Agency of the Kaliningrad region of Russia ‘Regional Centre for Combating Animal Disease’ (Государственное учреждение ветеринарии Калининградской области „Областная станция по борьбе с болезнями животных“) or by contributions other than the Union contribution.
3. The maximum amount to be reimbursed for the measures referred to in Article 1(2) shall not exceed on average EUR 0,95 per vaccine bait purchased and distributed.

Whereas Belgium transmitted to the Commission a memorandum concerning the multi-annual guidance programme for its fleet adopted on 21 December 1992;

Whereas these evaluations were communicated to the Commission on 9 June 1993;
Whereas the reductions in capacity thus obtained will represent a diminution in the global capacity of the Belgian fleet as at 1 January 1992 of the order of 15 % in power and 23 % in tonnage;
Whereas the measures envisaged in the present Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,

amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 38(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 of 3 April 2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1648/2001(4), lays down in its Article 5(3) that the price to be paid to the successful tenderer shall be adjusted where carcasses taken over differ from the classification class O. In Belgium, a very large part of the cow meat production falls in the E and S classes. However, on the basis on the one hand of the current market prices for those animals and on the other hand of the coefficient of adjustment fixed in the Regulation, no carcasses classified in those two classes are likely to be delivered under the scheme. In order to improve the efficiency of the support measure the coefficient laid down for classes S and E in Annex IV should therefore be increased to a level which better reflects the market reality.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
The coefficient of "1,65" fixed for classes S and E in footnote 1 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 shall be replaced by "1,87".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to quantities awarded under the tender on 12 November 2001 and following tenders.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 February 2011
amending Decision 2007/863/EC granting a derogation requested by the United Kingdom with regard to Northern Ireland pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources
(notified under document C(2011) 1033)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2011/128/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) If the amount of manure that a Member State intends to apply per hectare each year is different from those specified in the first sentence of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC and in point (a) of that subparagraph, that amount is to be fixed so as not to prejudice the achievement of the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Directive and it has to be justified on the basis of objective criteria, such as long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake.
(2) On 14 December 2007, the Commission adopted Decision 2007/863/EC granting a derogation requested by the United Kingdom with regard to Northern Ireland pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (2), allowing Northern Ireland the application of 250 kg nitrogen per hectare per year from livestock manure on farms with at least 80 % grassland.
(3) The derogation granted by Decision 2007/863/EC concerned in 2009 approximately 150 farms in Northern Ireland corresponding to approximately 0,6 % of total number of holdings and 1 % of the total net agricultural area. Decision 2007/863/EC expires on 31 December 2010.
(4) On 23 September 2010 the United Kingdom for the region of Northern Ireland submitted to the Commission a request for an extension of the derogation. The request contained a justification on the basis of the objective criteria specified in the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC.
(5) The United Kingdom for the region of Northern Ireland has adopted a new action programme for the period January 2011 to December 2014, which mainly maintains the measures of the action programme for the period until 31 December 2010 and applies to the whole territory of Northern Ireland.
(6) Nitrate concentrations in Northern Ireland surface freshwaters remain relatively low, with average nitrate concentrations below 25 mg NO3/l in 2008 for 99,7 % of monitoring stations. Between 2005 and 2008, surface freshwater monitoring sites showed in general stable or decreasing average nitrate concentrations, including in catchments with the highest proportion of derogation farms. For groundwater average nitrate concentrations are below 25 mg NO3/l in 2008 for 91,9 % of the monitoring stations and show similar stable or downwards trends as for surface waters.
(7) Livestock numbers decreased in Northern Ireland during the period 2006-2010 by about 12,5 % for sheep, 11,5 % for poultry and 4,7 % for cattle and increased by 9,8 % for pigs. Northern Ireland farming continues to be a predominantly grass-based system.
(8) The amount of manure N produced on farms in Northern Ireland during the period 2006-2010 decreased by 6,4 % while the rate of application of livestock manure per ha of land decreased by 4,7 %. The agricultural area available for manure application decreased by 1,7 %. Cattle dominate as the main source of manure N in Northern Ireland, followed by sheep, poultry and pigs. The decrease in overall manure N is largely due to the decline in the cattle sector and within that sector, the main driver of change is reduced numbers of beef cows and their offspring.
(9) In the light of the scientific information referred to in the request for extension of the derogation and the measures which the United Kingdom for the region of Northern Ireland has committed itself to in the action programme for the period January 2011 to December 2014, it can be concluded that the conditions for obtaining the derogation as specified in Directive 91/676/EEC, such as long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake, are still fulfilled, and that the derogation does not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of that Directive.
(10) For the purpose of ensuring that the grassland farms concerned may continue to benefit from a derogation, it is appropriate to extend the period of application of Decision 2007/863/EC to 31 December 2014.
(11) The deadlines for reporting to the Commission set out in Decision 2007/863/EC should however be adapted in order to simplify the administrative burden by allowing United Kingdom for the region of Northern Ireland to establish only one deadline for all reporting obligations.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Nitrates Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 91/676/EEC,
Decision 2007/863/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. the last sentence of Article 8(1) is replaced by the following:
3. Article 11 is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/316
of 26 February 2015
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain rainbow trout originating in Turkey
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1) On 15 February 2014, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation with regard to imports into the Union of certain rainbow trout originating in Turkey (‘the country concerned’) on the basis of Article 5 of the basic Regulation. It published a Notice of Initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2) (‘the Notice of Initiation’). A corrigendum to the Notice of Initiation was published in the Official Journal on 4 September 2014 (3), the purpose of which was to clarify the product scope.
(2) The Commission initiated the investigation following a complaint lodged on 3 January 2014 by the Danish Aquaculture Association (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain rainbow trout. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping of certain rainbow trout and of material injury caused by it, which the Commission considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an investigation.
(3) In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission invited interested parties to contact it in order to participate in the investigation. In addition, the Commission specifically informed the complainants, other known Union producers, users and importers, exporting producers in Turkey and the Turkish authorities as well as associations known to be concerned about the initiation of the investigation and invited them to participate.
(4) All interested parties had an opportunity to comment on the initiation of the investigation and to request a hearing with the Commission and/or the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. No provisional duties were imposed.
2. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(5) By letter of 19 November 2014 addressed to the Commission, the complainant withdrew its complaint.
(6) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, a proceeding may be terminated when the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.
(7) The investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Therefore, the Commission considers that the present proceeding should be terminated. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. However, no comments were received.
(8) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain rainbow trout originating in Turkey should be terminated.
(9) This Decision is accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss):
— live weighing 1,2 kg or less each, or
— fresh, chilled, frozen and/or smoked:
— in the form of whole fish (with heads on), whether or not gilled, whether or not gutted, weighing 1,2 kg or less each, or
— with heads off, whether or not gilled, whether or not gutted, weighing 1 kg or less each, or
— in the form of fillets weighing 400 g or less each,
currently falling within the CN codes ex 0301 91 90, ex 0302 11 80, ex 0303 14 90, ex 0304 42 90, ex 0304 82 90 and ex 0305 43 00 and originating in Turkey is hereby terminated.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1582/86 of 23 May 1986 on particular intervention measures for cereals (3) lays down the general rules applicable to such measures;
Whereas the intervention period for maize ends on 31 May; whereas this time limit, in particular in view of the agreement with the United States on imports of maize and grain sorghum into Spain at a reduced levy, is likely to encourage operators to offer substantial quantities of maize for intervention at the end of May, although certain market outlets may still be found after that date; whereas this situation may be remedied by opening a possibility for the buying-in of that cereal in June 1989 for which the production is limited to certain regions of the Community;
Whereas the conditions for the buying-in of cereals are laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 195/89 (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 of 11 July 1977 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by intervention agencies (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3495/88 (7), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 of 11 July 1977 on price increases and reductions applicable to intervention in cereals (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2258/87 (9);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1582/86, the intervention agencies shall buy in quantities of maize offered to them between 1 and 30 June 1989.
2. The price to be paid shall be the intervention price provided for in Article 7 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, as fixed for the 1988/89 marketing year, plus seven monthly increases, expressed in national currency using the representative rate applicable on 31 May 1989.

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 October 1992 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to permit temporarily the marketing of bitter white lupin seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC (92/502/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 92/19/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 86/109/EEC of 27 February 1986, limiting the marketing of seed of certain species of fodder plants and oil and fibre plants to seed which has been officially certified as 'basic seed' or 'certified seed' (3), as last amended by Directive 91/376/EEC (4), and in particular Article 2a thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas in Germany the production of seed of bitter white lupin satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC has been insufficient in 1991 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with such seed from other Member States or from third countries satisfying all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 October 1992 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply the Federal Republic of Germany with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 October 1992, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 400 tonnes of commercial seed of bitter white lupin (Lupinus albus L.). The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a total amount of 400 tonnes of commercial seed of bitter white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) provided that it is intended exclusively for the Federal Republic of Germany. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 December 1992 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 89 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 (3) Cape Verde was granted a derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 allowing it to consider as originating in Cape Verde certain processed fishery products produced in Cape Verde from non-originating fish. That derogation expired on 31 December 2010.
(2) By Commission Regulation (EU) No 894/2010 (4) Cape Verde was granted an increase in the quantities provided for in 2010 in respect of two of the three categories of fishery products covered by Regulation (EC) No 815/2008. The quantities of the derogation were raised accordingly to 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and to 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets.
(3) By letter dated 21 October 2010 Cape Verde submitted a request for a prolongation of the said derogation. By letters dated 3 and 21 December 2010, and 14 January 2011 it submitted additional information in support of this request.
(4) The request is for a prolongation for 1 year and a volume of 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel.
(5) Between 2008 and 2010 the total annual quantities originally granted contributed to a significant extent to improving the situation in the fishery processing sector and, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde’s artisanal fleet, which is of vital importance for that country. However, fully revitalising the Cape Verdean fleet to the degree envisaged requires a further increase in available capacity to provide enough originating raw materials to Cape Verde’s fish processing industries.
(6) The request demonstrates that, without the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fish processing industry to continue to export to the Union would be significantly affected, which might deter further development of the Cape Verdean fleet for small pelagic fishing.
(7) The derogation serves to give Cape Verde sufficient time to prepare itself to comply with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin. Time is needed to ensure that the efforts to revitalise the local fishing fleet continue and Cape Verde thereby improves its ability to supply the local fishery processing sector with originating fish.
(8) Since the prolongation is requested for a period starting on 1 January 2011, in order to ensure continuity of imports from Cape Verde to the Union, a new derogation should be granted with retroactive effect as of 1 January 2011.
(9) In order to allow the temporary derogation to be limited to the time needed for Cape Verde to achieve compliance with the rules, the derogation should be granted for a period of 1 year in respect of 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel.
(10) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management conducted in close cooperation between the authorities of Cape Verde, the customs authorities of the Union and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Regulation.
(11) In order to allow more efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, it is necessary to lay down the obligation for the authorities of Cape Verde, in accordance with Article 89(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, to communicate regularly to the Commission details of the certificates of origin Form A which have been issued.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
By way of derogation from Articles 72, 73, 75 to 79 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, prepared or preserved mackerel, frigate tuna and frigate mackerel of CN codes 1604 15 11 and ex 1604 19 98 produced in Cape Verde from non-originating fish shall be regarded as originating in Cape Verde in accordance with the arrangements set out in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Regulation.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products exported from Cape Verde and declared for free circulation in the Union, where the conditions specified in Article 74 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 are satisfied, during the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011, up to the quantities listed in the Annex against each product imported.
The quantities set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The customs authorities of Cape Verde shall take the necessary steps to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.
2. The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificate of origin Form A issued by the competent authorities of Cape Verde pursuant to this Regulation: ‘Derogation — Regulation (EU) No 439/2011’.
3. The competent authorities of Cape Verde shall forward to the Commission every quarter a statement of the quantities in respect of which certificates of origin Form A have been issued pursuant to this Regulation and the serial numbers of those certificates.
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. It shall apply from 1 January 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the Member States in accordance with the Treaties.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 of 14 March 1977 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1699/85 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1993/94 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 to be paid to producers for pineapples; and

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 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 market in milk and milk products, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 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) In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2) approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3), a certain amount of Community milk products exported to the Dominican Republic can benefit from reduced customs duties. For this reason, export refunds granted to products exported under this scheme should be reduced by a certain percentage.
(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 Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 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 Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 (4).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 583/91 (3), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (5), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas on 11 October 1991, Italy requested Commission authorization to initiate already in 1991 the action on its territory to be financed by resources chargeable to the 1992 budget and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute; whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in Italy by making an allocation to that country; whereas this allocation shall not exceed 50 % of the resources allocated by Commission decision to Italy in respect of the plan for 1992;
Whereas in order to facilitate the implementation of this scheme it is necessary to specify the rate of exchange to be employed in converting the ecu into the national currency and to do so at a rate which reflects economic reality,
1. The allocation for Italy of the appropriations referred to in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 to be charged to the 1992 budget shall be ECU 12 228 500.
This sum shall be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on 2 January 1991 and published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities of 3 January 1991.
2. Subject to the limit set out in paragraph 1, the following quantities of produce may be withdrawn from intervention for distribution in Italy:
- 1 500 tonnes of common wheat,
- 3 000 tonnes of beef.
3. The withdrawals referred to in paragraph 2 may be made from 1 November 1991.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 of 20 December 1994 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 746/95 (3), provides for cod quotas for 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden have reached the quota allocated for 1995; whereas Sweden has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 11 September 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Sweden for 1995.
Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES division III a Kattegat by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 June 1990
on the alignment of Portuguese prices for certain fruit and vegetables on the common prices
(90/265/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 265 (1) (b) of the abovementioned Act provides for the determination of the rules according to which the Portuguese Republic must align the Portuguese prices which are lower than the common prices to bring them closer to the common prices at the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas, in accordance with the abovementioned provisions, that alignment relates to the level of Portuguese prices, expressed in ecus, at 31 December 1989;
Whereas Portugal had not yet fixed the institutional prices at 31 December 1989; whereas, however, because of the combined effect of Article 265 (1) of the Act of Accession and the trends in common prices, the gap between the common prices and Portuguese prices as recorded in the records of the 1985 negotiation proceedings may be considered as the maximum gap currently possible; whereas it is justifiable, in the absence of other data, to base the detailed rules relating to Portuguese prices for 1990/91 on this gap;
Whereas it is appropriate to provide for a level of alignment which, in conjunction with the provisions applicable during the second stage, will allow a harmonious and gradual alignment of Portuguese prices on the common prices,
1. For the 1990/91 marketing year, the Portuguese Republic shall fix at a level at least equal to the price provided for in paragraph 2 the basic price and the buying-in price in ecus of the following products:
- apples,
- pears,
- apricots,
- table grapes,
- lemons,
- oranges,
- tomatoes,
- aubergines,
- cauliflowers.
2. The minimum prices applicable in Portugal during the 1990/91 marketing year shall be obtained:
- by calculating as a percentage the gap between the common prices for the said marketing year and the Protuguese prices as recorded in the records of the 1985 negotiation proceedings,
- by reducing that gap by one-sixth.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

of 18 May 2006
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 May 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas malt exports are carried out under 12-month export contracts running from October to September so as to take account of the technical conditions of malt production; whereas, pursuant to the second indent of Article 9 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1755/94 (5), export licences for malt issued between 1 July and 31 October 1994 are valid until the end of the 11th month following that of issue; whereas, therefore, the period of validity of licences issued after 1 August runs beyond 30 June 1995;
Whereas licences issued between 1 November and 31 December 1994 are valid until 30 September 1995; whereas limitation of the period of validity of export licences to 30 June 1995 would disrupt trade in malt; whereas, therefore, special measures should be laid down to avoid such disruption while respecting the undertakings made under the GATT Agreement; whereas such measures to benefit exporters must apply to all certificates issued between 1 August and 31 December 1994;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the purposes of this Regulation:
- 'first-issue licence' means the original licences issued before 31 December 1994,
- 'second-issue licence' means the replacement licence issued poursuant to this Regulation between 21 March and 3 April 1995,
- 'competent authority' means the body issuing the licences.
1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1521/94, where an exporter cannot export before 30 June 1995 thetotal quantity of malt falling within CN code 1107 for which first-issue licences have been issued, he-she may request the competent authority, during the period 21 to 31 March 1995, for second-issue licences pursuant to paragraph 2.
2. Two second-issue licences shall be issued by the competent authority at the request of the exporter to replace the first-issue licence:
(a) a licence valid from the date of issue until 30 June 1995 for the quantity of malt the exporter is to export during that period; and
(b) a licence valid for the period 1 July to 30 September 1995 for the remaining quantity of malt calculated by deducting the quantity referred to in (a) and the quantity already exported at the date of issue of the second-issue licences from the total quantity covered the first-issue licence.
The first-issue licence shall be returned to the competent authority for cancellation and the security released in proportion to the quantities exported. The remaining security shall be considered to be that provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 for the second-issue licences.
3. Second-issue licences shall be subject to the rules and conditions applicable at the time of issue of the first-issue licence.
4. By 3 April 1995 at the latest, Member States shall notify the Commission, at the numbers given in the Annex, of the total number of second-issue licences and the total quantity of malt covered by second-issue licences relating to the period 1 July to 30 September 1995.

(2005/217/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 7(1) and point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 91/270/EEC of 14 May 1991 drawing up a list of third countries from which Member States authorise importation of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (2), provides that Member States are only to import embryos of domestic bovine species from the third countries listed in the Annex to that Decision.
(2) Directive 89/556/EEC provides for a list to be drawn up of bovine embryo collection and production teams which are authorised to collect, process or store in third countries bovine embryos destined for the Community. Commission Decision 92/452/EEC of 30 July 1992 establishing lists of embryo collection teams and embryo production teams approved in third countries for export of bovine embryos to the Community (3), establishes that list.
(3) Commission Decision 92/471/EEC of 2 September 1992 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for importation of bovine embryos from third countries (4), provides that Member States may only authorise the importation of bovine embryos conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificates in the Annexes to that Decision. Those Annexes also include lists of third countries approved to use the veterinary certificates set out in that Decision.
(4) Directive 89/556/EEC provides that bovine embryos are not to be sent from one Member State to another unless they have been conceived as a result of artificial insemination or in vitro fertilisation with semen from a donor sire standing at a semen collection centre approved by the competent authority for the collection, processing and storage of semen or by semen imported in accordance with Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of deep-frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (5).
(5) The International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) assessed the risk of the transmission of certain contagious diseases via embryos as negligible, provided that embryos are properly handled between collection and transfer. Nevertheless, in the interests of animal health, appropriate upstream safeguards should be taken with regard to semen used for fertilisation.
(6) Community requirements for imports of bovine embryos should be at least as strict as those applicable to intra-Community trade in bovine embryos, in particular with regard to semen used for fertilisation. Following the application of new stricter requirements provided for in Decision 92/471/EEC, as amended by Decision 2004/786/EC, trade problems have been encountered.
(7) As a result of those problems, exporters and importers have requested a transitional period to adapt to these new stricter requirements for bovine semen used to fertilise oocytes for exports of embryos to the Community. It is therefore appropriate to allow, for a certain period and subject to certain conditions, the importation of bovine embryos collected or produced under the conditions set out in Annex III to this Decision.
(8) In the interests of clarity of Community legislation, it is appropriate to repeal Decisions 91/270/EEC and 92/471/EEC and replace them by this Decision.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States shall only import embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (the embryos) which were collected or produced in third countries listed in Annex I to this Decision by approved embryo collection or production teams listed in the Annex to Decision 92/452/EEC.
Member States shall authorise the importation of embryos complying with the additional guarantees set out in the model veterinary certificate in Annex II.
By way of derogation from Article 2, Member States shall authorise until 31 December 2006 the importation from third countries listed in Annex I of embryos complying with:
(a) the additional guarantees set out in the model veterinary certificate in Annex III; and
(b) the following conditions:
(i) embryos must be collected or produced before 1 January 2006;
(ii) embryos must only be used for implantation into female bovine animals resident in the Member State of destination indicated in the veterinary certificate;
(iii) embryos must not be subject to intra-Community trade.
Decisions 91/270/EEC and 92/471/EEC are repealed.
This Decision shall apply from 5 April 2005.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(2) and, in particular, Article 19 and Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The protection of human health against diseases and infections directly or indirectly transmissible from animals to man (zoonoses) is of paramount importance.
(2) The Community is currently in the process of reviewing its policy on the control and prevention of zoonoses.
(3) In this framework, the Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health was requested to express an opinion on the basis of zoonosis control policies, where special attention should be paid to the assessment of risks related to zoonotic diseases causing major concern to public health.
(4) In its conclusions of the opinion of 12 April 2000, the Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health identified salmonella and campylobacter as the most important food-borne zoonosis currently, if referring to the number of reported human cases.
(5) It is recognised that a number of gaps exist in the knowledge of the epidemiology of campylobacter as a food-borne zoonosis and the opinion indicated in particular that the efficiency of establishment of strict hygiene barriers at poultry farm level should be documented and the efficiency of procedures to lower the prevalence of campylobacter at farm level needs further scrutiny.
(6) A surveillance programme for broilers operated by the Swedish poultrymeat industry association started in 1991. The surveillance programme, which included sampling of slaughter groups at the abattoir and voluntary measures in farms, showed some success in reducing the prevalence of campylobacter in the slaughter groups of broilers.
(7) The Swedish authorities presented on 31 May 2000 a national surveillance programme of campylobacter in broilers, and a revised programme on 13 October 2000, to estimate the baseline prevalence both in primary production and in the food chain and to progressively reinforce implementation of hygienic measures in farms with a view to lower the prevalence at farm level and subsequently along the food chain.
(8) The programme can provide technical and scientific information potentially valuable for the development of Community veterinary legislation.
(9) In the light of the importance of campylobacter as a zoonosis, it is appropriate to provide financial assistance to cover certain costs incurred by Sweden.
(10) The financial assistance provided shall be up to a maximum of EUR 120000 for the period to 31 December 2001.
(11) Pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 2, of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999, veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules shall be financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. For financial control purposes, Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 apply.
(12) A financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are effectively carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The surveillance programme for campylobacter in broilers presented by Sweden is hereby approved for a period of six months starting from 1 July 2001.
2. The financial assistance from the Community for the programme referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 50 % of the costs (VAT excluded) incurred by Sweden for laboratory testing, up to SEK 161 per test and up to a maximum of EUR 120000.
The financial assistance referred to under Article 1(2) shall be granted to Sweden subject to:
(a) bringing into force by 1 July 2001 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions for implementing the programme;
(b) forwarding a report to the Commission every three months on the progress of the programme and the costs incurred. The report shall conform to the model as set out in the Annex;
(c) forwarding a final report by 31 March 2002 at the latest on the technical execution of the programme accompanied by justifying evidence as to the costs incurred and the results attained during the period 1 July to 31 December 2001;
(d) implementing the programme effectively;
and provided that Community veterinary legislation has been respected.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.
It shall apply from 1 January 2001.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 626/2005 (3) establishes the most recent list of Member States in which intervention is suspended. This list must be adjusted as a result of the market prices communicated by the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999. In the interests of clarity, the list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC) No 626/2005 should be repealed,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 1 July 2014
authorising the placing on the market of rapeseed protein as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2014) 4256)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(2014/424/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 25 June 2012, the company Helm AG made a request to the competent authorities of Ireland to place rapeseed protein on the market as a novel food ingredient. Rapeseed protein is intended to be used as a vegetable protein source in foods except in infant formulae and follow-on formulae. On 18 February 2014, the Commission was notified that Siebte PMI Verwaltungs GmbH had acquired the rights to the pending request.
(2) On 17 September 2012, the competent food assessment body of Ireland issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that rapeseed protein meets the criteria for novel food set out in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(3) On 4 October 2012, the Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to the other Member States.
(4) Reasoned objections were raised within the 60-day period laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(5) On 14 February 2013, the Commission consulted the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asking it to carry out an additional assessment for rapeseed protein as food ingredient in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(6) On 10 October 2013, in its ‘Scientific Opinion on the safety of “rapeseed protein isolate” as the Novel Food ingredient’ (2), EFSA concluded that rapeseed protein is safe as a protein added to food. However, it also noted that the risk of sensitisation to rapeseed cannot be excluded and that it is likely that rapeseed can trigger allergic reactions in people allergic to mustard.
(7) Therefore, the opinion gives sufficient grounds to establish that rapeseed protein as a novel food ingredient complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97, provided that the labelling of foods containing rapeseed protein as a food ingredient is such to allow people who are allergic to mustard to avoid consumption of those foods.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Rapeseed protein specified in the Annex may be placed on the market in the Union as a novel food ingredient.
The designation of rapeseed protein authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuffs containing it shall be ‘rapeseed protein’.
The labelling of any foodstuff containing rapeseed protein shall bear an easily visible and legible statement that the product containing ‘rapeseed protein’ as a food ingredient may cause allergic reaction to consumers who are allergic to mustard and products thereof. Where relevant, this statement shall appear in close proximity to the list of ingredients.
This Decision is addressed to Siebte PMI Verwaltungs GmbH, Neuer Jungfernstieg 5, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

Having regard to 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 (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 of 14 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 opened tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.
(2) The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of June 2011 for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2011 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested,
The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2011 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (3), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas concessions for certain products in the pigmeat sector were granted under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93 of 30 September 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary and the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2416/95 (5), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1590/94 of 30 June 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreement between the Community and Bulgaria and Romania (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2252/95 (7);
Whereas negotiations are currently under way with the countries concerned for the conclusion of Additional Protocols to the Europe Agreements; whereas 'interim` Additional Protocols will cover solely the trade-related aspects of the Additional Protocols; whereas, because of the excessively tight deadlines, however, the interim Additional Protocols cannot enter into force on 1 January 1996; whereas it is therefore advisable to provide for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of the agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements; whereas the adjustment should apply from 1 January to 30 June 1996;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the quantities available are allocated fairly, account should be taken, firstly, of the quantities awarded already during the first quarter of 1996 and the new quantities and, secondly, of Council Decision 94/391/EC on the agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and Bulgaria (8) and Council Decision 94/392/EC on the agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and Romania (9);
Whereas import licences for the quantities available for the period 1 January to 31 March 1996 have been issued on the basis of Regulations (EEC) No 2698/93 and (EC) No 1590/94; whereas the quantities available for the period 1 April to 30 June 1996 should be fixed taking into consideration the quantities awarded and the quotas set for that period; whereas, in order to ensure a smooth switch-over to the new arrangements and in particular that the quantities imported from 1 January 1996 within the framework of the Regulations mentioned above qualify for the reduction in customs duties to 20 %, provision should be made for the reimbursement of amounts paid in excess;
Whereas new tariff quotas with fixed customs duties, falling within CN codes 1501 00 19 and 1601 00 91, have been granted under Regulation (EC) No 3066/95; whereas it is necessary therefore that the products concerned be inserted in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93 is hereby amended as follows:
The first paragraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'All imports into the Community under the arrangements provided for in Article 14 (2) and (4) of the Interim Agreements of products in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, H 1, H 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 referred to in Annex I to this Regulation shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.`
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93 are replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.

(1) Under Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, for the name Nocciola de Piemonte, registered as a protected geographical indication by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 of 12 June 1996 on the registration of geographical indications and designations of origin under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92(2), Italy has requested changes in the name itself and in the description, method of production, labelling and national requirements.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 (1) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat, and in particular Article 18 (1) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (2);
Whereas Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 makes provision for the application of appropriate measures if, by reason of imports or exports, the Community market in one or more of the products listed in Article 1 thereof experiences or is threatened with serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty ; whereas these measures relate to trade with third countries ; whereas they will no longer apply when the disturbance or threat of disturbance has ceased;
Whereas it is for the Council to adopt detailed rules for the application of the said Article 18 (1) and to define the cases in which and the limits within which Member States may take interim protective measures;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to specify the main factors to be used in assessing whether the Community market is seriously disturbed or threatened with disturbance;
Whereas, since recourse to protective measures depends upon the effect on the Community market of trade with third countries, the situation on this market must be assessed by taking account not only of the factors peculiar to the market itself but also of those relating to the trend of that trade;
Whereas the measures which may be taken in application of Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 should be specified ; whereas those measures must be such as to put an end to serious disturbances on the market and to the threat of such disturbances ; whereas if they are not to have other than the desired effects, they must be capable of being adapted to the particular circumstances;
Whereas both the criteria for assessing the situation on the market and the measures required to deal with that situation must be determined in the light of the fact that the provisions governing trade in pigmeat do not at present include a system of import licences;
Whereas recourse by a Member State to Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 should be limited to cases in which the market of that State, following an assessment based on the abovementioned factors, is regarded as fulfilling the conditions of that Article ; whereas the measures which may be taken in such a case should be designed to prevent the market situation from deteriorating further ; whereas, however, they must be of an interim nature and should accordingly apply only until the entry into force of a Community decision on the subject;
Whereas the Commission is required to take a decision on Community protective measures to be applied in response to a request from a Member State within 24 hours following receipt of the request ; whereas, in order that the Commission may assess the situation on the market with all proper accuracy, provision should be made to ensure that it is informed as quickly as possible of any interim protective measures applied by a Member State ; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Commission to be notified of any such measures as soon as they have been adopted and for such notification to be treated as a request within the (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal. (2)OJ No C 60, 13.3.1975, p. 42.
meaning of Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75,
In order to assess whether the Community market in one or more of the products specified in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is by reason of imports or exports experiencing or threatened with serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty, particular account shall be taken of: (a) the volume of imports or exports effected or foreseen;
(b) the quantities of products available on the Community market;
(c) the prices recorded on the Community market or the foreseeable trend of these prices and in particular any excessive upward or downward trend thereof;
(d) if the abovementioned situation has arisen by reason of imports, the quantities of products for which intervention measures have been taken or may or need to be.
1. The measures which may be taken under Article 18 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, should the situation mentioned in Article 18 (1) arise, shall be the suspension of imports or exports or the levying of charges on exports.
2. Such measures may be taken only to such extent and for such length of time as is strictly necessary. They shall take account of the special situation of products already on their way to the Community. They shall apply only to products coming from or intended for third countries. They may be restricted to products imported from or originating in particular countries, to exports to particular countries or to particular qualities or types of presentation. They may be restricted to imports intended for particular regions of the Community or to exports from such regions.
1. A Member State may take one or more interim protective measures if, after an assessment based on the factors set out in Article 1, it considers that the situation envisaged in Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 has arisen on its territory.
Interim measures may comprise: (a) the suspension of imports or exports;
(b) the requirement that sums be deposited or secured in respect of export charges.
No actual payment of an export charge may be required under a measure as provided in (b) unless it is so decided in accordance with Article 18 (2) or (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75.
The provisions of Article 2 (2) of this Regulation shall apply.
2. The Commission shall be notified by telex of the interim protective measures as soon as they have been decided on. Such notification shall be treated as a request within the meaning of Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75. The measures shall apply only until such time as a decision taken by the Commission on the matter enters into force.
1. Council Regulation (EEC) No 2593/69 (1) of 18 December 1969 laying down conditions for applying protective measures in the market in pigmeat, is hereby repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Directive 91/27/EEC (2), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom,
Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, because of the risk of introducing harmful organisms, wood of Coniferae which meets the descriptions in CN code ex 4407 10, originating in Canada, China, Japan, Korea and the United States of America, may not be introduced into the Community, unless it is properly kiln-dried and identified as such;
Whereas, however, the second indent of Article 14 (3) of Directive 77/93/EEC permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas, moreover, the third indent of Article 14 (3) of Directive 77/93/EEC permits derogations from the rule requiring a phytosanitary certificate if equivalent safeguards are given and provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas wood of conifers originating in the United States of America is currently introduced into the Community; whereas in the case of sawn wood, phytosanitary certificates are not generally issued in that country; whereas it appears that kiln-drying capacity is at present limited in the United States of America;
Whereas, in respect of the United States of America, the Commission has established, on the basis of the information supplied by the United States of America and collected in that country during a mission carried out in 1990, that an officially approved and monitored programme of issuing 'certificates of debarking and grub hole control' has been set up to ensure proper debarking and to reduce the risk from harmful organisms; whereas the risk of spreading harmful organisms is reduced provided that the wood is accompanied by a Certificate of Debarking and Grub Hole Control issued under that programme;
Whereas the Commission will ensure that the United States of America makes available all technical information necessary to assess the functioning of the Debarking and Grub Hole Control Certificate programme;
Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to provide for derogations under the second and third indents of Article 14 (3) of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of sawn wood of conifers originating in the United States of America for a limited period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom are hereby authorized to provide, under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2, for derogations from Article 5 (1) and the third indent of Article 12 (1) (a) of Directive 77/93/EEC, with regard to the requirements referred to in Annex IV, Part A, 1 (1), and also from Articles 7 (2) and 12 (1) (b) of Directive 77/93/EEC for wood of Coniferae (CN code ex 4407 10) originating in the United States of America other than wood which has been kiln-dried to below 20 % moisture content, expressed as a percentage of dry matter at time of manufacture, achieved through an appropriate time/temperature schedule, and is so identified.
2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, the following conditions shall be satisfied:
(a) the wood shall be totally stripped of its bark by means of debarking, edging, grading and board selection and shall be free of grub holes. Bark is considered to be the external part of wood capable of sustaining live bark-inhabiting insects or other harmful organisms at any stage of development, but does not extend to:
- inner bark (bast),
- ingrown bark, in particular around knots,
- bark or pitch pockets as defined in the national grading rules for softwood dimension lumber.
Grub holes are understood to mean insect bore-holes caused by wood-borers of the genus Monochamus, and defined for this purpose as those which are larger than 3 mm across;
(b) the fact that the conditions laid down under (a) are satisfied shall have been checked by graders who are trained, qualified and authorized for that purpose under a programme approved by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, US Department of Agriculture;
(c) checks on compliance with the conditions laid down under (a) shall have been undertaken at mills by industry inspectors or their agents qualified and authorized for that purpose by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, US Department of Agriculture. In addition, the checking system shall provide for inspectors of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, US Department of Agriculture, undertaking occasional pre-shipment inspections,
(d) the wood shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Debarking and Grub Hole Control which is standardized under the programme mentioned under (b), and complies with the specimen given in the Annex to this Decision, and which is issued by an authorized person on behalf of mills to participate in that programme by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, US Department of Agriculture, and is filled in in accordance with the instructions set up under that programme.
Without prejudice to the provisions laid down in Article 14 (5) of Directive 77/93/EEC, the Member States listed in Article 1 (1) shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of all cases of consignments introduced pursuant to this Decision which do not comply with the conditions laid down in Article 1 (2) (a) and (d), as soon as a third such consignment has been intercepted.
The authorization granted in Article 1 shall expire on 31 December 1991. It shall be revoked earlier if it is established that the conditions laid down in Article 1 (2) are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Portugal and the United Kingdom.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/253
of 16 February 2015
laying down the rules concerning the sampling and reporting under Council Directive 1999/32/EC as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 1999/32/EC of 26 April 1999 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels and amending Directive 93/12/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 6(1b) and 7(1a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A cost-efficient and coherent implementation and enforcement of Directive 1999/32/EC is of high priority to achieve its projected health and environmental benefits resulting from reduced sulphur dioxide emissions from shipping, thus promoting fair competition and increased sustainability of maritime transport.
(2) In order to implement Articles 3a, 4a and 4b of Directive 1999/32/EC effectively, it is necessary that Member States ensure sufficiently frequent and accurate sampling of marine fuels delivered to ships or used on board ships, including inspections of ships' log books and bunker delivery notes.
(3) Article 6(1) of Directive 1999/32/EC requires Member States to take all necessary measures to check by sampling the sulphur content of the marine fuel being used for on-board combustion while in relevant sea areas and ports. In this context, sampling should be broadly construed as covering all the methods of compliance verification set out in Article 6(1a)(a), (b) and (c) of that Directive.
(4) Physical sampling of marine fuel being used for the purpose of verifying compliance should be carried out either through obtaining and analysing a fuel spot sample from the ship's fuel service system, or by analysing the relevant sealed bunker samples on board.
(5) The frequency of sampling should be determined on the basis of the number of individual ships calling in a Member State, the verification of ship documentation, the use of alternative targeting technologies to ensure a fair share of burden among Member States and cost-effectiveness as well as specific alerts about individual ships.
(6) The sampling of marine fuels while being delivered to ships should be targeted on marine fuel suppliers which have been repeatedly found not to comply with the specification stated on the bunker delivery note, taking into account the volume of marine fuels marketed by the supplier.
(7) In order to implement Directive 1999/32/EC in a cost-effective manner, Member States should be encouraged to comply with the sampling frequency by selecting ships for fuel compliance verification on the basis of national risk-based targeting mechanisms or the use of innovative compliance verification technologies, and to share the collected information with other Members States.
(8) A dedicated Union information system, developed and operated by the European Maritime Safety Agency, available to Member States from 1 January 2015, is to serve as a platform to record and exchange information on the results of individual compliance verifications under Directive 1999/32/EC. Member States should be encouraged to use the system, that can significantly contribute towards rationalising and optimising the assessment of the compliance with the requirements of that Directive.
(9) In order not to impose a disproportionate administrative burden on Member States without a coast line, on ships flying their flag or on their marine fuel suppliers, certain provisions should not apply to those Member States.
(10) Reporting should take into account the best use of all available and state-of-the-art technologies so that the administrative burden is kept to a minimum, while leaving flexibility to those Member States which might prefer to report in a more traditional way. Therefore, Member States have the possibility to use the Union information system to fulfil the relevant annual reporting obligations under Directive 1999/32/EC.
(11) Not earlier than 1 January 2016, and subject to the availability of common shared data regarding sulphur compliance verifications and sampling, Member States may use the risk-based targeting mechanism integrated into the Union information system to prioritise ship fuel verification in a cost-effective manner.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 9(1) of Directive 1999/32/EC,
Subject matter
This Decision lays down the rules concerning sampling methods and frequency as well as reporting under Directive 1999/32/EC as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) ‘Service tank’ means a tank from where fuel is taken to feed the downstream fuel-oil combustion machinery;
(2) ‘Fuel service system’ means the system supporting the distribution, filtration, purification and supply of fuel from the service tanks to the fuel-oil combustion machinery;
(3) ‘Ship's representative’ means the ship's master or officer in charge who is responsible for the marine fuels being used, documentation and for agreeing on the alternative fuel sampling point location;
(4) ‘Sulphur inspector’ means a person duly authorised by the competent authority of a Member State to verify compliance with the provisions of Directive 1999/32/EC;
(5) ‘Union information system’ means a system using the port call data of individual ships within SafeSeaNet, the information management system established by Article 22a of Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) ('SafeSeaNet'), to record and exchange information on the results of individual compliance verifications under Directive 1999/32/EC, and operated by the European Maritime Safety Agency. A Union risk-based targeting mechanism is developed on the basis of those results of individual compliance verifications and associated findings under Directive 1999/32/EC.
Frequency of sampling of marine fuels being used on board ships
1. Member States shall carry out inspections of ships' log books and bunker delivery notes on board of at least 10 % of the total number of individual ships calling in the relevant Member State per year.
The total number of individual ships calling in a Member State shall correspond to the average number of ships of the three preceding years as reported through SafeSeaNet.
2. As from 1 January 2016, the sulphur content of the marine fuel being used on board shall also be checked by sampling or analysis or both of at least the following percentage of the inspected ships referred to in paragraph 1:
(a) 40 % in Member States fully bordering SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs);
(b) 30 % in Member States partly bordering SECAs;
(c) 20 % in Member States not bordering SECAs.
As from 1 January 2020, in Member States not bordering SECAs, the sulphur content of the marine fuel being used on board shall also be checked by sampling or analysis or both of 30 % of the inspected ships referred to in paragraph 1.
Member States may comply with the frequencies specified in this paragraph by selecting ships on the basis of national risk-based targeting mechanisms and of specific alerts on individual ships reported in the Union information system.
3. The number of individual ships calculated pursuant to paragraph 2 that shall also be checked by sampling or analysis or both can be adjusted, but not reduced by more than 50 %, either:
(a) by subtracting the number of individual ships for which possible non-compliance is verified using remote sensing technologies or quick scan analysing methods; or
(b) by setting an appropriate number where document verifications in accordance with paragraph 1 are carried out on board of at least 40 % of the individual ships calling in the relevant Member State per year.
The adjustment referred to in points (a) and (b) shall be reported in the Union information system.
4. As from 1 January 2016, instead of complying with the annual frequency laid down in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may apply an annual frequency of sampling on the basis of the Union risk-based targeting mechanism.
5. This Article shall not apply to the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia.
Frequency of sampling of marine fuels while being delivered to ships
1. In accordance with Article 6(1a)(b) of Directive 1999/32/EC and taking into account the volume of marine fuels delivered, Member States shall carry out sampling and analysis of marine fuels while being delivered to ships by those marine fuel suppliers registered in that Member State that have been found at least three times in any given year to deliver fuel that does not comply with the specification stated on the bunker delivery note on the basis of the reporting in the Union information system or in the annual report referred to in Article 7.
2. This Article shall not apply to the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia.
Sampling methods for the verification of the sulphur content of the marine fuel being used on board
1. In accordance with Article 3, where the sulphur content of marine fuels being used on board is verified, Member States shall apply the following staged approach to sampling and compliance verification of sulphur standards:
(a) inspection of ships' log books and bunker delivery notes;
(b) as appropriate, one or both of the following means of sampling and analysis:
(i) analysis of the sealed bunker samples on board ships accompanying the bunker delivery note which have been taken in accordance with Regulation 18(8.1) and (8.2) of Annex VI to MARPOL;
(ii) on-board spot sampling of the marine fuels for on-board combustion in accordance with Article 6 followed by analysis.
2. At the end of the sulphur content verification and analysis, the sulphur inspector shall record the details of the fuel-specific inspection and findings in line with the requested type of information referred to in Article 7(a).
On-board spot sampling
1. Member States shall take the on-board spot sample of marine fuel through a single or multiple spot sample at the location where a valve is fitted for the purpose of drawing a sample in the fuel service system, as indicated on the ship's fuel piping systems or arrangement plan and as approved by the Flag Administration or Recognised Organisation acting on its behalf.
2. In the absence of the location referred to in paragraph 1, the fuel sampling point shall be the location where a valve is fitted for the purpose of drawing a sample and shall fulfil all of the following conditions:
(a) be easily and safely accessible;
(b) take into account different fuel grades being used for the fuel-oil combustion machinery item;
(c) be downstream of the fuel in use from the service tank;
(d) be as close to the fuel inlet of the fuel-oil combustion machinery item as feasible and safely possible taking into account the type of fuels, flow-rate, temperature, and pressure behind the selected sampling point;
(e) be proposed by the ship's representative and accepted by the sulphur inspector.
3. Member States may take a spot sample at more than one location in the fuel service system to determine whether there is a possible fuel cross-contamination in the absence of fully segregated fuel service systems, or in case of multiple service tank arrangements.
4. Member States shall ensure that the spot sample is collected in a sampling container from which at least three sample bottles can be filled which are representative of the marine fuel being used.
5. Member States shall take measures to ensure the following:
(a) that the sample bottles are sealed by the sulphur inspector with a unique means of identification installed in the presence of the ship's representative;
(b) that two sample bottles are taken ashore for analysis;
(c) that one sample bottle is retained by the ship's representative for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of collection.
Information to be included in the annual report
The annual report to be submitted by the Member States to the Commission on the compliance with sulphur standards for marine fuels shall include at least the following information:
(a) the total annual number and type of non-compliance of measured sulphur content in examined fuel, including the extent of individual sulphur content non-conformity and the average sulphur content determined following sampling and analysis;
(b) the total annual number of document verifications, including bunker delivery notes, location of fuel bunkering, oil record books, log books, fuel change-over procedures, and records;
(c) claims of non-availability of marine fuels as referred to in Article 4a(5b) of Directive 1999/32/EC, including the ship details, bunkering port and Member States where the non-availability occurred, number of claims made by the same ship, and type of bunker unavailable;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing Single Programming Documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft Single Programming Document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the Single Programming Document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 27 November 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Emilia-Romagna fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The Single Programming Document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this Single Programming Document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Emilia-Romagna in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Single Programming Document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Italy. The priorities are as follows:
- support for firms;
- negotiated programming for local development;
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the Single Programming Document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the Single Programming Document, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 252365061 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 122700015.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 122700015 from the public sector and EUR 6965031 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the Single Programming Document amounts to EUR 122700015. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 122700015.
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the Single Programming Document throughout the programme period, or by up to EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 27 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the areas receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

92/17/ECSC: Commission Decision of 27 November 1991 amending Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC of 23 December 1988 concerning aid that the Italian Government proposes to grant to the public steel sector (Only the Italian text is authentic)

COMMISSION DECISION of 27 November 1991 amending Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC of 23 December 1988 concerning aid that the Italian Government proposes to grant to the public steel sector (Only the Italian text is authentic) (92/17/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the first and second paragraphs of Article 95 thereof,
Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council,
Whereas:
Under the Italian steel restructuring plan and pursuant to Article 2 of Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC (1), as amended by Decision 90/89/ECSC (2), the Italian authorities were required to close the cold-rolling mill in Turin (MPP 708 Kt/year).
The Italian Government, however, has requested that the closure of the Turin cold-rolling mill (MPP 708 Kt/year) be replaced by the closure of cold-rolling mill No 1 at Cornigliano (MPP 600 Kt/year) and a 108 Kt/year reduction in cold-rolling capacity at the Racconigi mill.
Contrary to the forecasts of the restructuring plan the Turin cold-rolling mill made a profit in 1989 and 1990. Its closure would therefore lead to a deterioration in the financial position of the Italian public steel industry.
On the other hand, the closure of mill No 1 at Cornigliano would significantly reduce the serious air pollution in Genoa created by the steelworks.
In addition, as the capacity reduction proposed by the Italian Government concerns the same type of products and the same quantities, it will contribute as much to the structural regeneration of the Community steel industry as would the closure of the Turin plant.
The proposed replacement will require a six-month extension to the deadline fixed for the Turin closure.
The release, pursuant to Article 6 (4) of Decision 89/218/ECSC, of aid segments in addition to those referred to in Article 6 (3) must be brought into line with the new closure timetable,
Decision 89/218/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2:
- the table in paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
' (in 1 000 tonnes)
Pig iron Steel Finished products Hot-rolled Cold-rolled Bagnoli 2 350 2 700 Campi (heavy plate) 350 400 Turin (merchant bar, wire rod) 375 250 Terni (concrete reinforcing bar) 300 Sesto S. Giovanni (merchant bar, wire rod) 230 Cornigliano (mill No 1) 600 Racconigi (permanent partial reduction) 108 Total 2 350 3 425 1 180 708 '
- the following is added to the end of paragraph 3: 'and the closure of mill No 1 at Cornigliano and the permanent partial reduction at Racconigi, which must be achieved by 30 June 1991 at the latest';
2. In Article 6 (5), '31 December 1990' is replaced by '31 August 1991'.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2722/2000
of 13 December 2000
establishing the conditions under which the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) may make a contribution towards the eradication of pathological risks in aquaculture
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector(1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(3)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 explicity permits Community assistance from the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) for the eradication of pathological risks in aquaculture. It may therefore be possible to compensate producers for the slaughter of aquaculture animals.
(2) Article 24 of Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999(3), lays down the rules governing a Community financial contribution towards programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases, in particular that the disease must be listed in the Annex to the Decision, the slaughter programme (including possible compensation for producers) must be approved by the Commission, and expenditure (including any compensation for producers) may be eligible for a Community financial contribution.
(3) With the exception of campaigns to vaccinate aquaculture animals, a situation whereby the application of Article 15(3)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 leads to a different procedure and conditions from those laid down by Article 24 of Decision 90/424/EEC should be avoided.
(4) Where the financial provisions of the said Article 24 are incompatible with the financial provisions laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(4), it should be stipulated that the Regulation will continue to apply to the FIFG.
(5) The cumulation of Community aid for the same scheme to eradicate pathological risks in aquaculture must moreover be prohibited.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
1. Where, for the purposes of eradicating pathological risks in aquaculture, the competent authority of a Member State provides for a Community financial contribution from the FIFG under Article 15(3)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, the relevant provisions of Article 24 of Decision 90/424/EEC shall apply.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply in the case of campaigns to vaccinate aquaculture animals.
3. The financial provisions on the Structural Funds laid down in Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 shall continue to apply.
4. The FIFG aid pertaining to an eradication project is not cumulable with another Community aid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), and in particular Article 90 thereof, whose period of validity has been extended to 31 December 1992 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 477/92 (3),
Whereas a table wine must have a total acidity content, expressed as tartaric acid, of not less than 4,5 grams per litre in accordance with point 13 of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (5); whereas Article 127 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal lays down that, until 31 December 1990, table wines produced in Spain and released on the Spanish market may have a total acidity content of not less than 3,5 grams per litre; whereas the conditions justifying this derogation are connected, in addition to the climatic conditions, with the structure of the wine sector, the development of which is relatively slow;
Whereas, in order to avoid serious imbalance on the market for table wine in Spain, provision should be made for a derogation in respect of the total acidity content of table wine produced and placed on the market in Spain; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2276/91 (6) made provision for a similar derogation until 31 December 1991; whereas, for the same reasons, that derogation should be extended and its effect limited to 31 December 1992;
Whereas there should be a gradual process of alignment with the total acidity contents of table wines from the other Member States; whereas, therefore, the derogation should be restricted to Part B of Region 6 as provided for in Article 1 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3720/91 (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Until 31 December 1992, table wines produced in Part B of Region 6 in Spain, as referred to in Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3720/91 and released on the Spanish market may have a total acidity content, expressed as tartaric acid, of not less than 3,5 grams per litre.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 23 December 2003

(notified under document number C(2003) 5053)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/30/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/492/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of bivalve molluscs(1), and in particular Article 9(3)(b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(2), and in particular Article 11 (1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 95/174/EC of 7 March 1995 laying down special conditions for the import of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods originating in Peru(3), provides for the sanitary conditions to fulfill when importing live bivalve molluscs from Peru.
(2) Following the deficiencies observed during an inspection visit to Peru in April 2001 Commission adopted Decision 2001/338/EC of 27 April 2001 concerning certain protective measures with regard to bivalve molluscs from or originating in Peru(4). The mission also identified that no live molluscs were exported from Peru and that no control measures for molluscs disease were enacted by the Peruvian competent authority.
(3) A new inspection visit to Peru carried out in May 2002 revealed satisfactory improvements in the sanitary conditions and the rectification of some of the shortcomings related to the sanitary control applied by the Peruvian authorities. These findings allowed the Commission to adopt Commission Decision 2003/509/EC of 10 July 2003 amending Decision 2001/338/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to bivalve molluscs originating in Peru(5).
(4) The guarantees now provided by the competent authorities, supported by documental evidence, show that they have rectified the shortcomings found during the inspection mission. Therefore, since the protective measures provided by Commission Decision 2001/338/EC are no longer necessary, that Decision should be repealed.
(5) Furthermore, Peru wishes to export to the Community only frozen or processed bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods which have been sterilised or heat-treated in accordance with the requirements of Commission Decision 2003/774/EC of 30 October 2003 approving certain treatments to inhibit the development of pathogenic micro-organisms in bivalve molluscs and marine gastropods(6). Consequently, the specific import conditions should concern frozen and processed bivalve molluscs only, and production areas should be designated from which bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods may be harvested, in accordance with Article 3(4)(b) of Directive 91/493/EEC. Therefore new specific import conditions should be established and Decision 95/174/EC repealed accordingly.
(6) The other import conditions should be those already laid down in Commission Decision 95/173/EC laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery and aquaculture products originating in Peru(7).
(7) 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 "Ministerio de la Salud, Direccion General de Salud Ambiental (DIGESA)" shall be the competent authority in Peru for verifying and certifying that bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods fulfil the requirements of Directive 91/492/EEC.
1. Processed or frozen bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods originating in Peru and intended for human consumption must originate in the authorised production areas listed in the Annex to this Decision.
2. Consignments shall fulfil the conditions laid down in Decision 95/173/EC.
Decisions 95/174/EEC and 2001/338/EC are repealed.
This Decision shall apply from 13 January 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the single programming document was drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned under the partnership as defined in Article 4 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 activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (5);
Whereas the second indent of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purposes of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), provides that in Commission decisions approving single programming documents, the Community assistance decided upon for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof are to be set out in ecus, at prices for the year in which the decision is taken, and are to be subject to indexation; whereas the annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in commitment appropriations as set out in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as amended; whereas the indexation is to be based on a single rate per year corresponding to the rates applied annually to the Community budget on the basis of the mechanisms for technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (8), as last amended by Council Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (9), provides that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year are to contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas, during the implementation of the single programming document, the Member state will ensure that the individual projects included therein will conform with the selection criteria for investments for improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural and forestry products currently in force, in application of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 866/90;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94, states that the Member States will supply the Commission with appropriate financial information to verify that the principal of additionality has been respected; whereas analysis of the information supplied by the Swedish authorities shows that this principle has been taken into account; whereas, in addition, verification that this principle continues to be respected will be pursued in the framework of the partnership during the implementation of the single programming document; whereas these verifications are essential for the continuation of EAGGF (Guidance Section) aid to the measures concerned in the present Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
The single programming document for Community structural measures for improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural and forestry products in Sweden (with the exception of the Objective 6 regions), covering the period from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2162/84 (3) amended the quality standards for dessert apples and pears provided for in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1641/71 (4) by laying down that the fruit must be sufficiently developed so that it can continue its maturing process and to attain the degree of maturity required in relation to the varietal characteristics;
Whereas, in the case of apples, experience has shown that, in some cases, difficulties may be encountered in the task of verifying this state of development; whereas, in order to facilitate the work of the control bodies, the methods to be used for judging this development should be specified;
Whereas Commission Regulation No 93/67/EEC of 3 May 1967 laying down initial provisions on the quality control of fruit and vegetables marketed within the Community (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2638/69 (6) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 496/70 of 17 March 1970 laying down initial provisions for the quality control of fruit and vegetables exported to third countries (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 860/83 (8), should therefore be supplemented accordingly;
