Directive 2003/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 April 2003 amending Council Directive 98/18/EC on safety rules and standards for passenger ships
|
Directive 2003/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 14 April 2003
amending Council Directive 98/18/EC on safety rules and standards for passenger ships
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 98/18/EC of 17 March 1998 on safety rules and standards for passenger ships(4) introduces a uniform level of safety of life and property on new and existing passenger ships and high-speed passenger craft, when both categories of ships and craft are engaged on domestic voyages, and lays down procedures for negotiation at international level with a view to a harmonisation of the rules for passenger ships engaged on international voyages.
(2) The definition of sea areas is crucial to determine the application of Directive 98/18/EC to different classes of passenger ships. The Directive includes a procedure for the publication of lists of sea areas that has proved difficult to implement. It is therefore necessary to establish a functional and transparent procedure, enabling effective monitoring of the implementation of the Directive.
(3) With a view to harmonising the level of safety applying to passenger ships across the Community, the derogation given to Greece in relation to the timetable for the application of the safety requirements should be deleted.
(4) Directive 2003/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 April 2003 on specific stability requirements for ro-ro passenger ships(5) introduces strengthened stability requirements for ro-ro passenger vessels operating on international services to and from Community ports, and this enhanced measure should also apply to certain categories of such vessels operating on domestic services under the same sea conditions. Failure to apply such stability requirements should be grounds for phasing out ro-ro passenger ships after a certain number of years of operation.
(5) In view of the structural modifications that the existing ro-ro passenger ships may need to undergo in order to comply with the specific stability requirements, those requirements should be introduced over a period of years in order to allow to the part of the industry affected sufficient time to comply: to that end, a phasing-in timetable for existing ships should be provided. This phasing-in timetable should not affect the enforcement of the specific stability requirements in the sea areas covered by the Annexes to the Stockholm Agreement of 28 February 1996.
(6) It is necessary to take account of changes that have been made to relevant international instruments, such as the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) conventions, protocols, codes and resolutions, and to do so in a flexible and rapid manner.
(7) By virtue of Directive 98/18/EC, the International Code for Safety of High-Speed Craft contained in IMO Maritime Safety Committee Resolution MSC 36 (63) of 20 May 1994 applies to all high-speed passenger craft operating on domestic services. The IMO has adopted a new high-speed craft code, the International Code for Safety of High-Speed Craft, 2000 (2000 HSC Code), contained in IMO Maritime Safety Committee Resolution MSC 97(73) of 5 December 2000, applying to all high-speed craft constructed on or after 1 July 2002. It is important to ensure that Directive 98/18/EC can be updated in a flexible manner to apply such developments at the international level, also to high-speed passenger craft operating on domestic services.
(8) It is important to apply appropriate measures to ensure the access in safe conditions of persons with reduced mobility to ships and high-speed passenger craft operating on domestic services in the Member States.
(9) Directive 98/18/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 98/18/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 2 the following points shall be added:
"(ea) 'ro-ro passenger ship' means a ship carrying more than 12 passengers, having ro-ro cargo spaces or special category spaces, as defined in regulation II-2/A/2 contained in Annex I."
"(ha) 'age' means the age of the ship, expressed in number of years after the date of its delivery."
"(w) 'persons with reduced mobility' means anyone who has a particular difficulty when using public transport, including elderly persons, disabled persons, persons with sensory impairments and wheelchair users, pregnant women and persons accompanying small children.";
2. Article 4(2) shall be replaced by the following:
"2. Each Member State shall:
(a) establish, and update, when necessary, a list of sea areas under its jurisdiction, delimiting the zones for all-year-round operation and, where appropriate, restricted periodical operation of the classes of ships, using the criteria for classes set out in paragraph 1;
(b) publish the list in a public database available on the Internet site of the competent maritime authority;
(c) notify to the Commission the location of such information, and when modifications are made to the list.";
3. the following Articles shall be inserted:
"Article 6a
Stability requirements and phasing-out of ro-ro passenger ships
1. All ro-ro passenger ships of Classes A, B, and C, the keel of which is laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 October 2004 shall comply with Articles 6, 8 and 9 of Directive 2003/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 April 2003 on specific stability requirements for ro-ro passenger ships(6).
2. All ro-ro passenger ships of Classes A and B, the keel of which is laid or which are at a similar stage of construction before 1 October 2004 shall comply with Articles 6, 8 and 9 of Directive 2003/25/EC by 1 October 2010, unless they are phased out on that date or on a later date on which they reach the age of 30 years but in any case not later than 1 October 2015.
b
Safety requirements for persons with reduced mobility
1. Member States shall ensure that appropriate measures are taken, based, where practicable, on the guidelines in Annex III to enable persons with reduced mobility to have safe access to all passenger ships of Classes A, B, C and D and to all high-speed passenger craft, used for public transport, the keel of which is laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 October 2004.
2. Member States shall cooperate with and consult organisations representing persons with reduced mobility on the implementation of the guidelines included in Annex III.
3. For the purpose of modification of passenger ships of Classes A, B, C and D and high-speed passenger craft, used for public transport, the keel of which is laid or which are at a similar stage of construction before 1 October 2004, Member States shall apply the guidelines in Annex III as far as reasonable and practicable in economic terms.
Member States shall draw up a national action plan on how the guidelines shall be applied to such ships and craft. They shall forward that plan to the Commission not later than 17 May 2005.
4. Member States shall report to the Commission on the implementation of this Article as regards all passenger ships referred to in paragraph 1, passenger ships referred to in paragraph 3 certified to carry more than 400 passengers and all high-speed passenger craft, not later than 17 May 2006."
4. Annex III shall be added, as set out in the Annex.
Article 6(3)(g) of Directive 98/18/EC shall be deleted with effect from 1 January 2005.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 17 November 2004. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

2. Where buying-in is suspended, offers for sale may not, under any circumstances, be registered by the intervention agencies later than the day on which the decision referred to in paragraph 1 takes effect.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002
of 26 June 2002
fixing export refunds on fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 545/2002(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3) lays down detailed rules on export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant quantities of the products listed in that Article to be exported, the difference between the international market prices for those products and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds.
(3) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or the outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, lemons, oranges, table grapes, apples and peaches of classes Extra, I and II of the common trading standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) The application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(5), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000(6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(7), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.
(12) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A 1, A 2 and A 3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.
(13) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The export refunds on fruit and vegetables shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 June 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2) On 19 August 2013 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided to remove one natural person from its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering a de-listing request submitted by this person and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1904(2009). Furthermore, on 5 August 2013, the Sanctions Committee of the UNSC decided to amend three entries on the list.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3 and 9d(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The applications for the authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106), endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) and alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9553) was provisionally authorised for the first time for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2690/1999 (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex I to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(6) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94), endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CBS 592.94), alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9553) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma viride (NIBH FERM BP 4842) was provisionally authorised for the first time for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2013/2001 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(7) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) was provisionally authorised for the first time for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1411/1999 (5). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex III to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(8) The assessment of these applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (6).
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas the application of intervention measures in respect of beef has resulted in a build-up of stocks in several Member States; whereas outlets for those products exist in certain third countries; whereas, in order to prevent storage being prolonged excessively, part of those stocks should be put up for sale by periodical tender for export to those countries; whereas, in order to ensure that the products sold are of a uniform quality, the meat put up for sale should have been bought in pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68;
Whereas the sale should be conducted in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 of 4 October 1979 on detailed rules of application for the disposal of beef bought in by intervention agencies (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95 (4), and in particular Titles II and III thereof, and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96 (6), subject to certain special exceptions on account of the particular use to which the products in question are to be put;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the sales by tender are conducted properly and uniformly, measures in addition to those provided for in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 should be adopted;
Whereas provision should be made for derogations from Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 in view of the administrative difficulties which the application of that point is creating in the Member States concerned; whereas, with a view to better stock management, in particular as regards veterinary matters the Member States should be able to stipulate only certain cold stores or parts thereof for deliveries of the meat sold;
Whereas, for practical reasons, export refunds will not be granted on beef sold under this Regulation; whereas, however, successful tenderers will be required to apply for export licences for the quantity awarded, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 759/98 (8);
Whereas, for administrative reasons, a minimum quantity should be set for tenders, taking into consideration normal commercial practice; whereas provision should be made for derogations from Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 and Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 to take account of capacity to release the meat concerned from stock;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the beef sold is exported to the eligible third countries, provision should be made for a security to be lodged before the goods are taken over and the primary requirements should be determined;
Whereas products from intervention stocks may in certain cases have undergone several handling operations; whereas, to help ensure satisfactory presentation and marketing, the repackaging of the products should be authorised in certain circumstances;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The following approximate quantities of intervention products bought in pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 shall be put up for sale:

'Compensated` quarters shall comprise an equal number of forequarters and hindquarters.
2. The beef shall be exported to the zone 08 destinations listed in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1560/98 (9).
3. Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the sale shall be conducted in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, and in particular Titles II and III thereof, and Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92.
1. Tenders shall be submitted for the following dates:

(d) 23 November 1998,
until the quantities put up for sale are used up.
2. Notwithstanding Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, this Regulation shall serve as a general notice of invitation to tender.
The intervention agencies concerned shall draw up notices of invitation to tender for each sale, setting out in particular:
- the quantities of beef put up for sale, and
- the deadline and place for the submission of tenders.
3. Particulars of the quantities and the places where the products are stored may be obtained by the parties concerned at the addresses set out in the Annex. The intervention agencies shall, in addition, display the notices referred to in paragraph 2 at their head offices and may also publish them in other ways.
4. The intervention agencies concerned shall sell first meat which has been in storage for the longest time. However, with a view to better stock management and after notifying the Commission, the Member States may designate only certain cold stores or parts thereof for deliveries of meat sold under this Regulation.
5. Only tenders reaching the intervention agencies concerned by 12 noon on the relevant closing date for each sale by tender shall be considered.
6. Tenders shall be valid only if they relate to a minimum of 5 000 tonnes.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1650/96 of 16 August 1996 fixing the buying-in prices, aids and certain other amounts applicable for the 1996/97 wine year to intervention measures in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1592/96 (2), and in particular Articles 35 (8), 36 (6), 38 (5), 41 (10), 44, 45 (9) and 46 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3299/94 of 21 December 1994 on transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 670/95 (4), provides for Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 to apply in its entirety in Austria from the 1995/96 wine year; whereas, however, Austria should, in the interests of administrative clarity, be considered to form part of the wine-growing zone B provided for in Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 822/87;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1593/96 (5) fixes the guide prices for wine for the 1996/97 wine year; whereas the prices, aids and other amounts for the various intervention measures to be adopted for that wine year should accordingly be fixed on that basis;
Whereas this Regulation applies to Portugal; whereas, however, since wine-growing zones have not been delimited in that country, the oenological practices authorized in accordance with the rules laid down under Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be defined;
Whereas, since enrichment is an exceptional practice, the same reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and laid down in Annex VIII should be applied as in wine-growing zone C; whereas, in the light of experience the derogations in force for 'vinho verde` should be extended;
Whereas the aid for the use in wine-making of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 must be fixed taking into account the difference between the cost of enrichment achieved using concentrated grape must and using sucrose; whereas, in the light of the data available to the Commission, the amount of the aid should be varied with the product used for enrichment;
Whereas distillers may, in accordance with Articles 35 (6) and 36 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, either receive aid for the product to be distilled or deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency; whereas the amount of the aid must be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1546/95 (7);
Whereas the price of wine to be distilled under Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 does not normally allow the marketing at market prices of products obtained from distillation; whereas provision must therefore be made for aid, the amount of which is to be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89, account also being taken of the present uncertainty of prices on the market for distillation products;
Whereas some wine delivered for one of the distillation operations may be processed into wine fortified for distillation; whereas the amounts applicable to distillation in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas experience gained in sales by invitation to tender of alcohol held by intervention agencies shows that the difference between prices which may be obtained for neutral spirits and raw alcohol does not justify the takeover of the former; whereas, moreover, quantities of neutral spirits currently available are sufficient to satisfy, at least for one wine year, any demand for that product; whereas under these circumstances the possibility provided for in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be used by producing for the buying-in of all alcohol at the price for raw alcohol;
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2365/95 (9), laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 sets a standard natural alcohol strength by volume to be applied in the various wine-growing zones for the purpose of determining the volume of alcohol to be delivered for distillation under Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas it has not been possible to fix this standard natural alcoholic strength in Portugal because the wine-growing zones in that country have not yet been delimited; whereas, therefore, a provisional standard natural alcohol strength should be fixed;
Whereas Article 46 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 lays down criteria for fixing the aid provided for in that Article; whereas, as regards the aid for the use of grapes, grape must and concentrated grape must for the manufacture of grape juice, paragraph 4 of that Article stipulates that a part of the aid should be set aside for the organization of campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice and whereas the aid may be increased to that end; whereas, having regard to the criteria laid down and of the need to finance those campaigns, the aid should be fixed at a level permitting sufficient quantities to be obtained for the effective promotion of the product;
Whereas the reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 depends on the average increase in the natural alcoholic strength in each wine-growing zone; whereas experience shows that that increase corresponds on average to half the maximum increase authorized; whereas the reduction in the buying-in price must accordingly correspond to the added alcoholic strength as a percentage of the alcoholic strength of wine delivered for distillation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 of 16 December 1981 determining the classification of vine varieties (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2276/95 (11), establishes the list of vine varieties recommended and authorized in Portugal; whereas, in assessing the production of wine in Portugal, reference should be made to those vine varieties;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
This Regulation fixes the buying-in prices, the aids and certain other amounts applicable for the 1996/97 wine year to intervention measures in the wine sector in the Community. As regards the measures provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, those amounts shall be fixed subject to a subsequent decision on the activating of those measures.
1. The buying-in prices of the products and of wine delivered during the 1996/97 wine year for compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine of distillation,
- the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund towards the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annexes I and II hereto.
2. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 35 (6), the second subparagraph of Article 36 (4) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 (7), the intervention agency shall pay the raw alcohol price for the alcohol delivered to it.
The buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1996/97 wine year for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine for distillation,
shall be as set out respectively in Annexes III and IV.
The aid for utilization during the 1996/97 wine year of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) and in the first subparagraph of Article 46 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be as set out respectively in Annexes V, VI and VII hereto.
The reductions provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 applicable to the buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1996/97 wine year for distillation as provided for in Articles 36, 38, 39 or 41 of that Regulation and, for that wine:
- to the aid to the distiller,
- to the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- to the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund to the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annex VIII hereto.
For the purposes of this Article, Portugal shall be considered to form part of wine-growing zone C, and Austria of wine-growing zone B.
1. The rules governing oenological practices and processes laid down in Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall apply to Portugal during the 1996/97 wine year subject to the following conditions:
(a) increase in alcoholic strength shall be limited to 2 % vol. Products eligible under this measure shall have a natural alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7,5 % vol, before enrichment and total alcoholic strength by volume of not more than 13 % after enrichment.
However, products upstream of table wine originating in the 'Vinho verde' region must have an alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7 % before enrichment.
The addition of concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must shall not have the effect of increasing the initial volume of fresh crushed grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation or new wine still in fermentation by more than 6,5 %;
(b) fresh grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine may be the subject of acidification or deacidification.
2. The wine varieties which may be used to produce table wine shall be those listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81.
'Vinho verde` may:
- be marketed with a minimum total alcoholic strength by volume 8,5 % for wines which have not been subject to enrichment,
- possess a total context of sulphine dioxide no greater than 300 milligrams per litre for white 'Vinho verde' wines with a residual sugar content not less than 5 g/l.
3. The quantity of alcohol which producers of table wine in Portugal must deliver for distillation in accordance with Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be calculated on the basis of a standard natural alcoholic strength, to be taken into consideration for the assessment of the volume of alcohol contained in the wine produced, equal to 9 % by volume, with the exception of wines produced in the delimited 'Vinho verde' region, for which the alcoholic strength to be taken into consideration shall be 8,5 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/87/EC
of 5 December 2005
amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed as regards lead, fluorine and cadmium
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular the third sentence of Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I thereto is prohibited.
(2) When Directive 2002/32/EC was adopted, the Commission stated that the provisions laid down in Annex I to that Directive would be reviewed on the basis of updated scientific risk assessments and taking into account the prohibition of any dilution of contaminated non-complying products intended for animal feed.
(3) The Scientific Panel on contaminants in the Food Chain of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted an opinion on a request from the Commission related to lead as undesirable substance in animal feed on 2 June 2004.
(4) Contamination of food with lead is of public health concern. Lead accumulates to some extent in kidney and liver tissue, muscle tissues contain very low residual amounts of lead and carry-over into milk is limited. Therefore foods of animal origin are not a major source of human exposure to lead.
(5) Cattle and sheep seem to be the most sensitive animal species with respect to acute lead toxicity. Individual intoxications have been reported, resulting from ingestion of feed material originating from polluted areas or accidental ingestions of lead sources. However, the levels found in commercial feed materials in the European Union do not induce clinical signs of toxicity.
(6) The existing legal provisions as regards lead in products intended for animal feed are generally appropriate to ensure that these products do not represent any danger to human health, animal health or adversely affect the livestock production.
(7) Cattle and sheep seem to be the most sensitive animal species and green fodder is a major component of their daily ration, it is important to provide for a review in view of a possible further reduction of the maximum level of lead in green fodder.
(8) In addition the establishment of a maximum level of lead for additives belonging to the functional group of trace elements, binders and anti-caking agents and for premixtures is appropriate. The maximum level established for premixtures takes into account the additives with the highest level of lead and not the sensitivity of the different animal species to lead. In order to protect animal and public health, it is therefore the responsibility of the producer of premixtures to ensure that, in addition to compliance with the maximum levels for premixtures, the instructions for use on the premixture are in accordance with the maximum levels for complementary and complete feedingstuffs.
(9) The Scientific Panel on contaminants in the Food Chain of the EFSA adopted an opinion on a request from the Commission related to fluorine as undesirable substance in animal feed on 22 September 2004.
(10) Fluoride accumulates particularly in calcifying tissues. In contrast, transmission into edible tissues including milk and eggs is limited. Hence, the fluoride concentrations in foods from animal origin contribute only marginally to human exposure.
(11) In the European Union, fluoride levels in pastures, herbages and compound feeds are generally low and subsequently exposure of animals to fluoride is generally below the level causing detrimental effects. However, in certain distinct geographic areas and incidentally in the proximity of industrial sites with high fluoride emission, excessive exposure to fluoride is associated with dental and skeleton abnormalities.
(12) The existing legal provisions as regards fluorine in products intended for animal feed are appropriate to ensure that these products do not represent any danger to human health, animal health or adversely affect the livestock production.
(13) The extraction procedure used has a large influence on the analytical result and it is therefore appropriate to determine the extraction procedure. Equivalent procedures with demonstrated equal extraction efficiency can be used.
(14) The level for fluorine in marine crustaceans such as marine krill has to be amended in order to take into account new processing techniques to improve the nutritional quality and to reduce the biomass loss but which also results in higher levels of fluorine in the final end product.
(15) Commission Directive 84/547/EEC of 26 October 1984 amending the Annexes to Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs (3) establishes a maximum level for fluorine in vermiculite (E 561). The scope of Directive 2002/32/EC provides for the possibility of the establishment of maximum levels of undesirable substances in feed additives and the rules governing undesirable substances should be collected in a single text for greater clarity.
(16) The Scientific Panel on contaminants in the Food Chain of the EFSA adopted an opinion on a request from the Commission related to cadmium as undesirable substance in animal feed on 2 June 2004.
(17) Contamination of food with cadmium is of public health concern. Accumulation of cadmium in animal tissue is function of dietary concentration and duration of exposure. The short life span of animals like fattening pigs and poultry minimizes the risk of undesirable cadmium concentrations in edible tissues of these animals Ruminants and horses however may be exposed during their entire lifespan to cadmium present in pastures. In distinct regions this may result in an undesirable cadmium accumulation particularly in kidneys.
(18) Cadmium is toxic to all animal species. In most of the domestic animal species, including pigs which are considered the most sensitive species, gross clinical symptoms are unlikely to occur if dietary cadmium concentrations remain below 5 mg/kg feed.
(19) The existing legal provisions as regards cadmium in products intended for animal feed are appropriate to ensure that these products do not represent any danger to human health, animal health or adversely affect the livestock production.
(20) No maximum level is currently established for pet food and feed materials of mineral origin other than phosphates. It is appropriate to establish a maximum level for these products intended for animal feed. It is appropriate to amend the current maximum level for cadmium for fish feed in order to take into account recent developments in formulating fish feed incorporating higher ratios of fish oil and fishmeal. In addition the establishment of a maximum level of cadmium for additives belonging to the functional group of trace elements, binders and anti-caking agents and for premixtures is appropriate. The maximum level established for premixtures takes into account the additives with the highest level of cadmium and not the sensitivity of the different animal species to cadmium. As provided in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, in order to protect animal and public health, it is the responsibility of the producer of premixtures to ensure that, in addition to compliance with the maximum levels for premixtures, the instructions for use on the premixture are in accordance with the maximum levels for complementary and complete feedingstuffs.
(21) Directive 2002/32/EC and Directive 84/547/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(22) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Without prejudice to the other conditions for the authorisation of the additive vermiculite, belonging to the group of binders, anti-caking agents and coagulants, laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC, the maximum fluorine content shall be as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive 12 months after the entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1118/2014
of 8 October 2014
concerning the allocation of fishing opportunities under the Implementation Protocol to the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Senegal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Union and the Republic of Senegal negotiated a Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (‘the Agreement’) and an Implementation Protocol thereto (‘the Protocol’) granting EU vessels fishing opportunities in waters in which the Republic of Senegal exercises its sovereignty or jurisdiction with regard to fishing.
(2) On 8 October 2014 the Council adopted Decision 2014/733/EU on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of a Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Senegal and the Implementation Protocol thereto (1).
(3) The method for allocating the fishing opportunities among the Member States should be defined, both for the period of provisional application and for the duration of the Protocol.
(4) If it appears that the fishing authorisations or opportunities allocated to the Union by virtue of the Protocol are not fully exhausted, the Commission will inform the Member States thereof in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 (2). If no reply is received within a time limit to be set by the Council, this will be considered as confirmation that the vessels of the Member State concerned are not making full use of their fishing opportunities during the period in question. That time limit should be set.
(5) To ensure the continuity of the fishing activities of Union vessels, the Protocol provides for its application by the parties on a provisional basis from the date of its signature. This Regulation should therefore apply from the date of signing of the Protocol,
1. The fishing opportunities set out in the Protocol shall be allocated among the Member States as follows:
(a) tuna seiners:
Spain 16 vessels
France 12 vessels
(b) pole-and-line vessels:
Spain 7 vessels
France 1 vessel
(c) trawlers:
Spain 2 vessels
2. Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 shall apply without prejudice to the Partnership Agreement.
3. If applications for fishing authorisations from the Member States referred to in paragraph 1 do not exhaust the fishing opportunities set out in the Protocol, the Commission shall consider applications for fishing authorisations from any other Member State in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008.
4. The time limit within which the Member States must confirm that they are not fully exhausting the fishing opportunities granted to them under the Agreement, as provided by Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008, is set at 10 working days as from the date on which the Commission communicates this information to them.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from the date of signature of the Protocol.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 23 July 2001
on the measures that may be taken by the Community following a report adopted by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body concerning anti-dumping and anti-subsidy matters
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 384/96(1), the Council adopted common rules for protection against dumped imports from countries which are not members of the European Community.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 2026/97(2) the Council adopted common rules for protection against subsidised imports from countries which are not members of the European Community.
(3) Under the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation ("WTO"), an Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU") was reached. Pursuant to the DSU, the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") was established.
(4) With a view to permitting the Community, where it considers this appropriate, to bring a measure taken under Regulation (EC) No 384/96 or Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 into conformity with the recommendations and rulings contained in a report adopted by the DSB, specific provisions must be introduced.
(5) The Community institutions may consider it appropriate to repeal, amend or adopt any other special measures with respect to measures taken under Regulation (EC) No 384/96 or Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, including measures which have not been the subject of dispute settlement under the DSU, in order to take account of the legal interpretations made in a report adopted by the DSB. In addition, the Community institutions should be able, where appropriate, to suspend or review such measures.
(6) Recourse to the DSU is not subject to time limits. The recommendations in reports adopted by the DSB only have prospective effect. Consequently, it is appropriate to specify that any measures taken under this Regulation will take effect from the date of their entry into force, unless otherwise specified, and, therefore, do not provide any basis for the reimbursement of the duties collected prior to that date,
1. Whenever the DSB adopts a Report concerning a Community measure taken pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 or to this Regulation ("disputed measure"), the Council may, acting by simple majority on a proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation of the Advisory Committee established pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 or Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 ("Advisory Committee"), take one or more of the following measures, whichever it considers appropriate:
(a) repeal or amend the disputed measure or;
(b) adopt any other special measures which are deemed to be appropriate in the circumstances.
2. For the purpose of taking measures under paragraph 1, the Commission may request interested parties to provide all necessary information in order to complete the information obtained during the investigation that resulted in the adoption of the disputed measure.
3. Insofar as it is appropriate to conduct a review before or at the same time as taking any measures under paragraph 1, such review shall be initiated by the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee.
4. Insofar as it is appropriate to suspend the disputed or amended measure, such suspension shall be granted for a limited period of time by the Council, acting by simple majority on a proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation of the Advisory Committee.
1. The Council may also take any of the measures mentioned in Article 1(1) in order to take into account the legal interpretations made in a report adopted by the DSB with regard to a non-disputed measure, if it considers this appropriate.
2. For the purpose of taking measures under paragraph 1, the Commission may request interested parties to provide all necessary information in order to complete the information obtained during the investigation that resulted in the adoption of the non-disputed measure.
3. Insofar as it is appropriate to conduct a review before or at the same time as taking any measures under paragraph 1, such review shall be initiated by the Commission after consultation of the Advisory Committee.
4. Insofar as it is appropriate to suspend the non-disputed or amended measure, such suspension shall be granted for a limited period of time by the Council, acting by simple majority on a proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation of the Advisory Committee.
Any measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation shall take effect from the date of their entry into force and shall not serve as basis for the reimbursement of the duties collected prior to that date, unless otherwise provided for.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It applies to reports adopted after 1 January 2001 by the DSB.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 545/2002(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), lays down detailed rules on export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant quantities of the products listed in that Article to be exported, the difference between the international market prices for those products and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds.
(3) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or the outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) Application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(6), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
(11) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(8), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.
(12) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A1, A2 and A3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.
(13) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.
(14) It should be specified that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof, are to apply to this invitation to tender.
(15) The Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The tender submission period, the indicative refund amounts and the scheduled quantities for A3 export licences for fruit and vegetables shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.
3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of A3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 September 2002.

10.7.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 181/43
COUNCIL DECISION
of 3 June 2008
abrogating Decision 2005/182/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Slovakia
(2008/562/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Decision 2005/182/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Slovakia. The Council noted that the general government deficit was 3,6 % of GDP in 2003, above the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value.
(2) On 5 July 2004, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2), the Council made, based on a recommendation from the Commission, a recommendation addressed to Slovakia with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end by 2007 at the latest. The recommendation was made public.
(3) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.
(4) In accordance with the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of the Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (3).
(5) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 8g(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 following the notification by Slovakia before 1 April 2008 and on the Commission services' spring 2008 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:
— due to data revisions after the 2004 Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit, the general government deficit remained below 3 % of GDP in the years 2003-2005. After increasing to 3,6 % of GDP in 2006 it was reduced to 2,2 % of GDP in 2007, which is below the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value. This compares with a target of 2,9 % of GDP set in the December 2006 update of the convergence programme,
— the fiscal consolidation has benefited from buoyant GDP, employment and revenue growth, allowing the expenditure-to-GDP ratio to fall faster than the revenue-to-GDP ratio. The falling expenditure-to-GDP ratio was also induced by expenditure restraint and expenditure reforms such as substantial restrictions on social benefits. Nevertheless, the cyclical upswing and growth dividends from structural reforms were not fully exploited for fiscal consolidation. As a result, the structural deficit (i.e. the cyclically adjusted balance net of one-off and other temporary measures) is estimated to have deteriorated from some 1 % of GDP in 2003 to around 3 % of GDP in 2006 before improving to around 2 % of GDP by 2007. However, part of the structural deterioration can be attributed to the introduction of the second funded pension pillar in 2005 with transfers to this pillar estimated to have increased from 0,8 % of GDP in 2005 to 1,2 % and 1,3 % of GDP in 2006 and 2007 respectively. In addition, increases in taxes on cigarettes preceded by sizeable pre-stocking with cigarettes at various stages of the distribution chain led to sizeable shifts in tax revenue resulting in extra tax revenue in 2003, 2005 and 2007 followed by equivalent revenue shortfalls in the subsequent years,
— for 2008, the Commission services' spring 2008 forecast projects the headline deficit to be reduced further, to 2,0 % of GDP, driven mainly by continued strong growth prospects and some revenue-increasing measures such as a broadening of the corporate and personal income tax base and an increase in the maximum ceiling on social contributions. This is in line with the official deficit target of 2,0 % of GDP set in February 2008. For 2009, the spring forecast projects, on a no-policy change basis, an increase in the deficit to 2,3 % of GDP. This indicates that the deficit has been brought below the 3 % of GDP reference value in a credible and sustainable manner,
— nevertheless, the structural balance is projected to deteriorate by some one quarter of a percentage point of GDP in 2008 and, on a no-policy change basis, by around one quarter of a percentage point in 2009. This has to be seen against the need to make progress towards the medium-term objective (MTO) for the budgetary position, which for Slovakia is a structural deficit of just below 1 % of GDP,
— government debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value. It declined from 42,4 % of GDP in 2003 to 29,4 % in 2007. According to the spring 2008 forecast, the debt ratio is projected to remain broadly stable over the forecast horizon (on a no-policy change basis).
(6) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Slovakia has been corrected and Decision 2005/182/EC should therefore be abrogated,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Slovakia has been corrected.
Decision 2005/182/EC is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Slovak Republic.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1272/88 of 29 April 1988 laying down detailed rules for applying the set-aside incentive scheme for arable land (3),
Whereas on 25 October 1988, pursuant to Article 24 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85, the Netherlands Government forwarded the Ministerial Decision of 16 August 1988 on an aid scheme to encourage the set-aside of arable land;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 25 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85, the Commission has to decide whether the conditions for a financial contribution from the Community are satisfied in the light of the compatibility of the abovementioned provisions with the aforementioned Regulation and bearing in mind the objectives of the latter and the need to ensure that the various measures are properly related;
Whereas the provisions forwarded must be applied so as to limit the use of plant-protection products to low-persistence herbicides and nematocidal products based on dichloropropene and metham-sodium to be used subject to explicit authorization under the national laws in force;
Whereas, subject to the above comments, the abovementioned provisions satisfy the conditions and the objectives of Title 01 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85; whereas they are in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1272/88;
Whereas, however, in view of the novel nature of the set-aside scheme, the Commission reserves the right to re-examine the provisions forwarded, particularly as regards the amount of the aid, on the basis of a report on their application to be submitted by the Netherlands pursuant to Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 and to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1272/88;

88/408/EEC: Council Decision of 15 June 1988 on the levels of the fees to be charged for health inspections and controls of fresh meat pursuant to Directive 85/73/EEC
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 15 June 1988 on the levels of the fees to be charged for health inspections and controls of fresh meat pursuant to Directive 85/73/EEC (88/408/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 85/73/EEC of 29 January 1985 on the financing of health inspections and controls of fresh meat and poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 2 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 85/73/EEC laid down harmonized rules for the financing of health inspections and controls introduced by Community law; whereas in particular that Directive requires fees to be collected for such inspections and controls; whereas the standard fee levels should be fixed at Community level;
Whereas, however, without prejudice to the second indent of Article 1 (1) or the second subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Directive 85/73/EEC, the levels should be set, in an initial stage, only for the fees to be collected in respect of meat from the animals mentioned in Article 1 (2) of the abovementioned Directive, and slaughtered on Community territory, it being understood that Articles 23 and 26 of Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (2), as last amended by Directive 87/64/EEC (3), whereby the costs are chargeable to the parties concerned, remain applicable to imports from third countries;
Whereas Article 12 of Council Directive 85/358/EEC of 16 July 1985 supplementing Directive 81/602/EEC concerning the prohibition of certain substances having a hormonal action and of any substances having a thyrostatic action (4) requires that the fees also take account of expenses entailed by the controls referred to in that provision;
Whereas Council Directive 86/469/EEC of 16 September 1986 concerning the examination of animals and fresh meat for the presence of residues (5) makes provision for controls to be carried out to this end; whereas the level of the fees to be fixed should also take account of the costs incurred by such controls;
Whereas it is possible that slaughtering, cutting and storage operations may take place in separate plants; whereas, as a result in such cases, not all the health inspections and controls to be covered by the fees under Directives 64/433/EEC (6), 71/118/EEC (7), 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC, are consequently carried out in the slaughterhouse; whereas, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Directive 85/73/EEC these exceptional cases should be covered by providing for fees to be charged in proportion to the different health controls and inspections to be carried out;
Whereas the principle should be adopted that the fees are charged to the person who has the slaughtering, cutting or storage operations carried out; whereas, as a general rule, all the fees are therefore collected at the slaughterhouse; whereas, however, exceptional cases should be covered in the light of the abovementioned principle;
Whereas the rate should be fixed for converting into national currency the amount of the fee expressed in ECU, provision being made for the review of that amount if necessary,
This Decision fixes the levels of the fees to be collected by the Member States for health inspections and controls of fresh meat as provided for in Directives 64/433/EEC, 71/118/EEC, 85/358/EEC and Articles 3 and 7 of Directive 86/469/EEC and the rules for implementing Directive 85/73/EEC.
1. The fees referred to in Article 1 shall be fixed at the following standard levels:
(a) beef and veal:
- adult bovine animals: 4,5 ECU/animal,
- young bovine animals: 2,5 ECU/animal;
(b) Solipeds/equidae:
4,4 ECU/animal;
(c) pigs:
1,30 ECU/animal;
(d) sheepmeat and goatmeat: animals of a carcase weight:
ii(i) of less than 12 kilograms: 0,175 ECU/animal;
i(ii) of between 12 and 18 kilograms: 0,35 ECU/animal;
(iii) of more than 18 kilograms: 0,5 ECU/animal.
2. Until the review provided for in Article 10, Member States where salary costs, the structures of establishments, and the ratio between veterinarians and inspectors differ from those of the Community average adopted for the calculation of the standard amounts laid down in paragraph 1 may depart from them through increases or reductions up or down to the real figure for inspection costs.
Member States shall have recourse to the exemptions laid down in the first paragraph on the basis of the principles set out in the Annex.
In no case shall the application of the exemptions provided for in the first paragraph lead to reductions of more than 55 % up to and including 31 December 1992 or, as from 1 January 1993, 50 % of the average levels set out in paragraph 1.
3. Pending the review of the inspection rules laid down by Directive 71/118/EEC and until 31 December 1992 at the latest, the minimum amount to be collected for inspecting fresh poultrymeat shall be fixed at a standard rate at the following levels:
- for broilers, other young poultry for fattening weighing less than two kilograms and for cast hens: 0,01 ECU/animal,
- other young poultry for fattening of a carcase weight of more than two kilograms: 0,02 ECU/animal,
- other heavy adult poultry weighing more then five kilograms: 0,04 ECU/animal.
Paragraph 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
4. Until 31 December 1992 the share of the fees for:
i(i) administrative costs shall be fixed at a standard rate of 0,725 ECU per tonne. This amount may be deducted when the operator of the establishment is the natural or legal person referred to in Article 6 (1) and when he pays the administrative costs;
(ii) examination for the presence of residues may not be lower than 1,35 ECU/tonne.
5. Until 31 December 1992, Member States may, on the basis of the figures laid down in Article 2, collect amounts expressed in ECU/tonne, taking as the basis for conversion the national average weight of slaughtered carcases expressed on an annual basis.
1. The part of the fees covering the controls and inspections connected with the cutting operations referred to in Article 3 (1) B of Directive 64/433/EEC and Article 3 (1) B (b) of Directive 71/118/EEC shall be fixed at a standard rate of 3 ECU/tonne of unboned meat intended for cutting.
2. The amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall be added to the amounts referred to in Article 2 (1).
3. The provisions of Article 2 (2) and (5) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
4. Where the cutting operations are carried out in the establishment where the meat is obtained, the amounts laid down in paragraph 1 may be reduced by up to 50 %.
Member States shall collect an amount corresponding to the actual expenditure necessary for entry and exit controls or inspections of the meat being stored, pursuant to Article 3 (1) D of Directive 64/433/EEC and Article 3 (1) B (c) of Directive 71/118/EEC.
1. The amount referred to in Article 2 shall replace all other health inspection charges or fees levied by the national, regional or local authorities of the Member States for the inspection and control of fresh meat referred to in Article 1 and the certification thereof. However, until 31 December 1992, Member States shall be authorized to collect registration costs for slaughterhouses approved in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 64/433/EEC.
2. When so requested by the Commission and in the situation referred to in Article 2 (2), Member States must be able to justify the method of calculation, in particular the salary costs.
As part of the checks laid down in Article 9 of Directive 64/433/EEC, the Commission may, in particular by checking compliance with the requirements of Chapters V, VI and VII, by random spot checks, verify whether the granting of the exemptions laid down in Article 2 (2) of this Decision does not compromise the effective application of the rules laid down by the said Directive.
1. Fees shall be payable by the natural or legal person who has the slaughtering, cutting or storage operations carried out.
2. The full amount of the fees, including the amounts provided for in Articles 2 and 3, shall in principle be collected at the slaughterhouse. However, in the event of the conditions laid down in Article 3 (4) and Article 4 not being fulfilled, the amounts provided for in Articles 2 and 3 shall be collected in the cases concerned at the slaughterhouse, cutting plant and cold store, as appropriate.
The application in the Member States or in the case of individual establishments, particularly in the event of recourse to the exemptions provided for in Article 2 (2), of the rules for calculation adopted by this Decision shall be verified when the checks provided for in Article 9 of Directive 64/433/EEC are carried out.
The minimum amount per tonne to be collected in respect of meat imported from third countries shall be decided on by the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a Commission proposal, following the establishment of Community inspection for frontier posts as provided for in Article 27 of Directive 72/462/EEC.
The decisions referred to in the first paragraph must be adopted before 1 October 1989.
The rate of conversion into national currency of the amounts in ECU specified in this Decision shall be that published annually on the first working day of the month of September in the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Communities.
0 1. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may annually review the share of the fees covering the search for residues in order to take account of experience acquired in implementing the plans referred to in Article 4 of Directive 86/469/EEC.
2. Before 1 April 1989, the Commission shall submit to the Council a report on the possible devolution of certain inspection tasks to auxiliary inspectors who are not veterinarians, on the tasks to be entrusted to these auxiliary inspectors, the qualifications of such auxiliary inspectors and the average proportion of veterinarian inspectors to non-veterinarian inspectors required for the satisfactory inspection of meat.
The Council will act by a qualified majority, before 1 October 1989, on Commission proposals based on this report.
Before that date and using the same procedure, the Council will adopt new rules for ante-mortem and post-mortem health inspection of fresh poultrymeat.
3. To take account of experience acquired, the Commission shall, before 1 January 1992, submit to the Council a report accompanied, if necessary, by appropriate proposals for the adjustment of the cost of health inspections and controls in the Community.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority on these proposals, shall fix - before 1 April 1992 in accordance with the same procedure - the levels of fees to be collected with effect from 1 January 1993.
1 Member States shall implement the provisions of this Decision not later than 31 December 1990. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2 This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Decision
of 14 March 1979
authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to restrict the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species
(Only the German text is authentic)
(79/347/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species [1], as last amended by Directive 78/55/EEC [2], and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seeds or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1976 in one or more Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1978, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community ;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized, upon application, to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties ;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species ;
Whereas Commission Decision 79/92/EEC [3] extended the period provided for in the said Article 15 (1) for some of these varieties for the Federal Republic of Germany from 31 December 1978 to 28 February 1979;
Whereas the Commission completed its examination of the German application in respect of these varieties before the expiry of the said period ;
Whereas the varieties listed in this Decision have been the subject of officiai growing trials in the Federal Republic of Germany; whereas the results of these trials have led the Federal Republic of Germany to decide that these varieties are not distinct there ;
Whereas, for the variety Carmen (creeping bent grass), the results of the trials show that in the Federal Republic of Germany, under national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply within the framework of current Community provisions, it is not distinct from other varieties accepted there (Article 15 (3) (a), first case, of the said Directive) ;
Whereas, therefore, the application by the Federal Republic of Germany in respect of this variety should be granted in full ;
Whereas in respect of the varieties Pippin (perennial ryegrass) and Sverre (lucerne), new Community provisions are being drawn up which, without prejudice to the justification of the German application, may be such as to induce the Federal Republic of Germany to reconsider this request ;
Whereas it therefore seems desirable to extend for the Federal Republic of Germany the period in question by an appropriate period for these varieties (Article 15 (7) of the said Directive) ;
Whereas other varieties are no longer included in the German application ;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing throughout its territory of the following variety listed in the 1979 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species :
Fodder plants
Agrostis stolonifera L.
Carmen
The authorization given under Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions under which it was granted are no longer met.
The Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission of the date from which it makes use of the authorization under Article 1 and of the procedures it follows. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof
The period provided for in Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC and already extended by Decision 79/92/EEC shall be extended for the Federal Republic of Germany beyond 28 February 1979 until 31 December 1980 in respect of the following varieties:
Fodder plants
1. Lolium perenne L.
Pippin
2. Medicago sativa L.
Sverre

of 18 June 2008
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of the agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 121, point (j) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, as of 1 July 2008, the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less has to be marketed in accordance with certain conditions laid down in that Regulation, in particular as regards the classification of bovine animals into categories and the sales descriptions to be used. Point II of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 requires that, on slaughter, all bovine animals aged 12 months or less have to be classified in one of the two categories listed in Annex XIa to that Regulation. In order to ensure correct and uniform implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, detailed rules should be laid down that should apply as from 1 July 2008.
(2) The age of the animal on slaughter and the sales description should, at each stage of production and marketing, be indicated on the label, in accordance with point IV of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. As the size of the products to be labelled varies depending on the stage of the production and marketing, it is necessary to require that the indications of the age and the sales description are perfectly legible on the label. Moreover, in order to ensure transparency towards the final consumer, the indication of the animal's age on slaughter and the sales description should be presented in the same visual field and on the same label at the moment of the release of the meat to the final consumer.
(3) In accordance with Article 121(j) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the practical method of indicating the category identification letter referred to in Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should be laid down. For control purposes, it is necessary to require that the category identification letter is indicated on the carcass as soon as possible after the bovine animal has been slaughtered.
(4) For the sake of ensuring a correct application of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, operators at each stage of the production and marketing should record indications of any person from whom they have been supplied with meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less. Whilst such traceability of food is ensured within the Community by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (2), a special provision is needed in order to also guarantee the traceability of the said meat imported from third countries.
(5) In order to verify the application of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and inform the Commission thereof, official checks should be carried out, which should include also the supervision of the classification of the bovine animals in slaughterhouses provided for in point II of Annex XIa to that Regulation. Moreover, the competent authorities, designated by the Member States for those checks, should be allowed to delegate their check tasks to independent third-party bodies under certain conditions that should be laid down.
(6) Operators concerned should grant access to their premises and to all records in order to enable experts of the Commission, the competent authority, or, failing that, the independent third-party body to verify the application of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(7) Point VIII of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 requires that meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less and imported from third countries is only marketed in the Community in accordance with that Regulation. This requires that the competent authority designated by the third country concerned, or failing that, an independent third-party body, should approve and control an identification and registration system of the bovine animal, which guarantees the respect of the provisions of that Regulation.
(8) Only independent third-party bodies that are accredited to certain standards should be allowed to check the activities of operators from third countries wishing to place on the Community market meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less.
(9) The Commission should be able to request from the competent authority or independent third-party body in a third country all information necessary to verify the application of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Detailed rules on the information to be notified to the Commission and the communication thereof by the Commission to the Member States should be laid down. Moreover, where deemed necessary, the Commission should be allowed to carry out on-the-spot checks in third countries under certain conditions.
(10) Where repeated cases of non-compliance are found as regards imported meat, the Commission should set, in accordance with certain conditions, specific rules for the importation of that meat in order to guarantee the respect of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and of this Regulation and thereby ensuring equivalent marketing conditions for meat produced within the Community or imported from third countries.
(11) Member States should be required to take certain measures in case they find cases of non-compliance in relation to the application of Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 or of this Regulation.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Scope
This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less as provided for in Article 113b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
Definition
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term ‘competent authority’ shall mean the central authority of a Member State competent for the organisation of official checks referred to in point VII of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 or any other authority to which that competence has been conferred; it shall also include, where appropriate, the corresponding authority of a third country.
Categories of bovine animals aged 12 months or less
The classification in the categories referred to in point II of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall cover:
(a) category V: bovines from the day of birth until the day they reach the age of eight months;
(b) category Z: bovines from the day after reaching the age of eight months until the day they reach the age of 12 months.
Compulsory information on the label
1. Notwithstanding the provisions in point IV of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, immediately after slaughter, the category identification letter referred to in point II of Annex XIa to that Regulation shall be indicated on the outside surface of the carcass by using labels or stamps.
The labels shall be of a size not less than 50 cm2. The category identification letter shall be perfectly legible on the label and alterations shall only be permitted as provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 8(3) of this Regulation.
In case stamps are used, the letter shall be not less than two centimetres in height. The letter shall be stamped directly on the surface of the meat using an indelible ink.
The labels or stamps shall be applied on the hindquarters on the striploin at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra and on the forequarters, on the brisket between 10 and 30 centimetres from the cut edge of the sternum.
However, Member States may determine other positions on each quarter provided they inform the Commission beforehand. The Commission shall transmit this information to the other Member States.
2. The indications of the age of the bovine animal on slaughter and the sales description referred to in point IV of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be:
(a) perfectly legible at each stage of production and marketing;
(b) presented in the same visual field and on the same label at the moment of the release of the meat to the final consumer.
3. Member States shall notify to the Commission the rules referred to in point IV of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 by 1 July 2009 at the latest and shall notify it without delay of any subsequent amendments of these rules.
Recording of information
The recording of information referred to in point VI of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall also include an indication of the name and address of the operator responsible for the previous stage of marketing from whom they have been supplied with meat referred to in point I of Annex XIa to that Regulation.
Official checks
1. The official checks referred to in point VII of Annex XIa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall also include the supervision of the classification of bovine animals at the slaughterhouse referred to in point II of Annex XIa to that Regulation.
2. A competent authority may delegate, totally or partially, its check tasks to one or more independent third-party bodies only where there is a proof that the body:
(a) has a sufficient number of adequately qualified and experienced staff; and
(b) is impartial and free from any conflict of interest as regards the exercise of the tasks delegated to it.
In particular, the competent authority may delegate its check tasks only where such independent third-party bodies are accredited to comply with the most recent notified version of European Standard EN 45011 or ISO Guide 65 (General requirements for bodies operating products certification systems), published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.
3. A competent authority wishing to delegate its check tasks to one or more independent third-party bodies shall notify the Commission thereof. The notification shall indicate:
(a) the competent authority that intends to delegate its check tasks; and
(b) one or more independent third-party bodies to which it would delegate these check tasks.
The Commission shall transmit to the Member States the notifications referred to in the first subparagraph.
4. The independent third-party body performing check tasks shall:
(a) communicate the results of the checks carried out to the competent authority on a regular basis and whenever the competent authority so requests. If the results of the checks indicate non-compliance, the independent third-party body shall immediately inform the competent authority thereof;
(b) give the competent authority access to its offices and facilities and provide any information and assistance deemed necessary by the competent authority for the fulfilment of their obligations.
5. A competent authority delegating check tasks to an independent third-party body, shall, on a regular basis, supervise that body.
If, as a result of that supervision, it appears that such body has failed to properly carry out the check tasks delegated to it, the delegating competent authority may withdraw the delegation.

The Commission may further request the third country to authorise representatives of the Commission to carry out, where required, on-the-spot checks in that third country. These checks shall be performed jointly with the competent authorities concerned in the third country and, where applicable, with the independent third-party body.
5. Where, as regards meat imported from third countries, specific cases of non-compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 or of this Regulation are detected, the Commission may fix, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, specific import conditions on a case by case and strictly temporary basis following consultations with the third country concerned. These conditions shall be proportionate to allow verification of compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and of this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3642/93 of 20 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part, and Romania of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the Community and the Republic of Bulgaria (3), signed in Brussels on 8 March 1993, came into force on 31 December 1993 and the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the Community and Romania (4), signed in Brussels on 1 February 1993, came into force on 1 May 1993; whereas the said Agreements provide for a reduction in the levy on imports of certain cheeses falling within CN code 0406 up to certain quantities;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 385/94 (5) lays down detailed rules for the application to milk and milk products of the arrangements provided for in the said Agreements for the period 1 January to 30 June 1994;
Whereas the Additional Protocols (6) to the Interim Agreements signed between the Community and the two countries in question provide for a further 20 % reduction in duties from 1 July 1994; whereas certain detailed rules of application should therefore be laid down;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2246/89
of 24 July 1989
opening and providing for the administration of a Communiy tariff quota for Chinese cabbages originating in the Canary Islands (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 of 18 May 1987 concerning certain adjustments to the arrangements applied to the Canary Islands (1), and in particular Articles 6 and 10 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 provides for the opening of a Community tariff quota for imports into the Community of 100 tonnes of Chinese cabbages falling within CN code ex 0704 90 90, for the period 1 November to 31 December, originating in the Canary Islands;
Whereas, where the said product is imported into that part of Spain which is included in the customs territory of the Community, it qualifies for exemption from customs duties; whereas, where the said product is imported into Portugal, the quota duties applicable are to be calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession; whereas, where the said product is released for free circulation in the remainder of the customs territory of the Community, it qualifies for the progressive reduction of customs duties according to the same timetable and under the same conditions as those provided for in Article 75 of the Accession; whereas, to qualify for the tariff quotas, the product in question has to comply with certain marking and labelling conditions designed to prove its origin;
Whereas equal and continuos access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas, however, it should not be allocated among the Member States without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedure mentioned in Article 3; whereas this method of administration requires close co-operation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the drawings made by that economic union, may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. (a) The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the following product originating in the Canary Islands shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of the Community tariff quota, as shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (in tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09 0437 // ex 0704 90 90 // Chinese cabbages, from 1 November to 31 December 1989 // 100 // 9,5 // // // // //
(b) Where the said product is imported into that part of Spain and which is included in the customs territory of the Community, it shall qualify for exemption from customs duties.
(c) Within the limit of this tariff quota, the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated according to the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession and the Regulations relating thereto.
2 (a) Without prejudice to the other provisions applicable as regards quality standards, the product covered by this Regulation cannot qualify under the tariff quota unless, when it is presented to the authorities responsible for the import formalities for the purposes of release into free circulation in the customs territory of the Community, it is presented in packaging which bears the words 'Canary Islands', or the equivalent thereof in another official Community language, in a clearly visible and perfectly legible form.
(b) The third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) Nr 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegtables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (2), shall not apply to the product covered by this Regulation.
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for the product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The request for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the tariff quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 3 enable imports to be charged without interruption against the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the said product have free access to the quota for such times as the balance of the tariff quota so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said product against their drawings as and when such product is entered with the customs authorities under cover of declarations of entry into free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas it is necessary for all Member States to participate in the Community trials and tests, in so far as propagating material of Pelargonium and Dianthus are usually reproduced or marketed on their territory in order to ensure that proper conclusions may be drawn therefrom;
Whereas these Community trials and tests will be used to harmonize, in the first instance, the technical methods of examination of propagating and planting material of these species;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Propagating Material and Ornamental Plants,
1. Community trials and tests shall be carried out during 1997-99 on propagating and planting material of Pelargonium and Dianthus.
2. The samples shall be drawn officially.
3. All Member States shall participate in the Community comparative trials and tests, in so far as propagating material of the species mentioned in paragraph 1 are usually propagated or marketed on their territory.
The general arrangements for the carrying out of the Community comparative trials and tests and the evaluation of their results shall be made within the Standing Committee for Propagating Material and Ornamental Plants.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Joint Council under the Interim Agreement on Trade and Trade-related matters between the European Community and the United Mexican States has by its Decision No 2/2000, adopted arrangements for implementing aspects of that Agreement related to trade in goods with effect from 1 July 2000.
(2) The tariff preferences provided in Decision No 2/2000 are applicable to products originating in Mexico in accordance with Annex III to the said Decision.
(3) It is necessary to lay down special provisions for applying those tariff preferences within the Community.
(4) The base rates for calculating tariff reductions are those set out in Decision 2/2000.
(5) The same methods of calculation should, as a general rule, apply to ad valorem and specific rates of duty as well as to the treatment of minimum and maximum duties provided in the Common Customs Tariff.
(6) Decision No 2/2000 stipulates that certain products originating in Mexico may be imported into the Community within the limits of tariff quotas, at a reduced or a zero rate of customs duty. The said Decision specifies the products eligible for those tariff measures, their volumes and duties.

The tarif quota for some products is subject to satisfaction of specific rules of origin for a given period of time. This tariff quota should also be managed on the first-come first-served basis mentioned above.
(7) The Combined Nomenclature codes mentioned in this Regulation are those of 2000, as provided in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(2). Amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and TARIC codes should not result in changes of substance in agreements or other acts concluded between the Community and Mexico. In the interests of simplicity, provision should therefore be made for the Commission, assisted by the Customs Code Committee, to take the measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation, in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers of the Commission(3).
(8) In the interest of combating fraud, provisions should be made to submit preferential imports into the Community to surveillance,
1. For the purposes of implementing Decision No 2/2000 of the Joint Council under the Interim Agreement on Trade and Trade-related matters between the European Community and Mexico:
(a) The term "MFN" shall be taken to mean the lowest rate of duty appearing in column 3 or 4, taking into account the periods of application mentioned or referred to in that column, of the second part of Annex I of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87. However, it shall not mean a duty set up within the framework of a tariff quota under Article 26 of the Treaty or under Annex 7 to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87.
(b) Subject to paragraph 2, the final rate of preferential duty shall be rounded down to the first decimal place.
2. Where the result of calculating the rate of preferential duty is one of the following, the preferential rate shall be considered a full exemption:
(a) 1 % or less in the case of ad valorem duties, or
(b) EUR 0,5 or less per individual euro amount in the case of specific duties.
3. Wherever customs duties comprise an ad valorem duty plus one or more specific duties, the preferential reduction is limited to the ad valorem duty where it is so provided in Article 8 of Decision No 2/2000. Where the customs duties comprise an ad valorem duty with a minimum and maximum duty, the preferential reduction also applies to that minimum and maximum duty. Where they comprise more than one specific duty, the preferential reduction applies to all of these.
1. Subject to paragraph 5, the customs duties on the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation and originating in Mexico shall be reduced to the levels provided and within the limits of the tariff quotas specified in that Annex.
2. These tariff quotas shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a to 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
3. With respect to the products covered by the Annex to this Regulation:
(a) the specific export document referred to in Article 8(7) of Decision No 2/2000 of the Joint Council means the movement certificate EUR 1 or the invoice declaration referred to in Article 15(1) of that Decision, and
(b) the acceptance of the declaration for release for free circulation shall be deemed to constitute the issuing of the import licence referred to in that provision.
4. The reductions of duty referred to in the Annex are expressed as a percentage of the customs duties effectively applied to goods of Mexican origin outside the tariff quotas in question when declared for release for free circulation.
5. The customs duty applicable to products of CN code 1704 10 within the tariff quota at order No 09.1857 in the Annex to this Regulation shall be 6 %.
6. With the exception of the tariff quota at order No 09.1899, the tariff quotas referred to in the Annex to this Regulation shall be opened each year for a twelve-month period from 1 July to 30 June. These quotas shall be opened for the first time on 1 July 2000.
7. The tariff quota at order No 09.1847 in the Annex to this Regulation shall be opened for the last time on 1 July 2007.
8. An annual tariff quota of 2500 units shall be opened at the preferential rate provided under the Agreement for vehicles of CN codes 8701 20, 8702 and 8704, originating in Mexico according to the specific origin rules laid down in Annex III, Appendix IIa, Note 12.1 to Decision No 2/2000. This tariff quota shall be opened annually for twelve months from 1 January to 31 December, until December 2006. It shall be opened for the first time on 1 July 2000 for half of the annual volume.

The annual volume of the tariff quota at order No 09.1853 in the Annex to this Regulation shall be increased successively by 500 tonnes each year from 1 July 2001.
Without prejudice to Articles 2 and 3, the amendments and technical adaptations of the Annex to this Regulation made necessary by amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and TARIC codes or arising from decisions of the EC-Mexico Joint Council, or from the conclusion of agreements, protocols or exchanges of letters between the Community and Mexico, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the management procedure set out in Article 5(2).
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee, hereinafter referred to as "the Committee".
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply. The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 448/98 of 16 February 1998 completing and amending Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 with respect to the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) within the European system of national and regional accounts (ESA)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Monetary Institute (3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European System of National and Regional Accounts in the Community (4) contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the European Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States;
Whereas Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 provides that a decision on the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) will be taken no later than 31 December 1997;
Whereas solving the problem of allocating FISIM should lead to major improvements in the methodology of the ESA and to a more accurate intra-European Union comparison of gross domestic product (GDP) levels;
Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to introduce the principle of allocation of FISIM and the detailed rules of its implementation;
Whereas the effectiveness of the allocation of FISIM and the detailed rules of its implementation need to be evaluated by means of calculations to be carried out by the Member States according to the trial methods described in Annex III to this Regulation during a trial period which is sufficiently long in order to test whether this allocation yields more reliable results for the correct measurement of the economic activity concerned than the present zero allocation;
Whereas, it is appropriate that the Commission on the basis of the calculations carried out during the trial period, presents evaluation reports on the quality of the data, in particular, on their availability and a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the stability in time and the sensitivity of the results in respect of the different trial methods;
Whereas it is appropriate in case of a positive evaluation of reliability of the results obtained that the Commission decides on the most suitable method for the allocation of FISIM;
Whereas in case the trial methods do not yield more reliable results for the correct measurement of the economic activity concerned than the present zero allocation it is however appropriate that the Commission submits to the Council an appropriate proposal for modification of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96;
Whereas it is appropriate that the decision to allocate FISIM for the establishment of the GNP used for the purposes of the Community's budget and its own resources will be adopted by the Council, acting unanimously, on a proposal from the Commission;
Whereas it is appropriate not to allocate FISIM for the purposes of other Community policies until the Commission has decided on the method to be used for allocating FISIM in case the results obtained are judged to be more reliable;
Whereas, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the objectives pursued by this Regulation can be better achieved at the Community level than at the level of Member States because only the Commission can coordinate the necessary harmonisation of the statistical methods for calculating and allocating FISIM at Community level; whereas, however, the calculation and allocation proper as well as the infrastructure required to monitor application of the methods, should be organised by the Member States; whereas for this reason it is necessary to prescribe that the competent national authorities have access to all available data at national level;
Whereas the Committee on the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities, established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (5), and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics, established by Decision 91/115/EEC (6), have been respectively consulted in accordance with Article 3 of each of the aforesaid Decisions,
Purpose
1. The purpose of this Regulation is to introduce the principle, using reliable methodology, for allocating financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM), described in Annex I of Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 2223/96.
2. For this purpose, Annexes I and II of Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 shall be amended in accordance with Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
Methods
1. The Member States shall carry out calculations in accordance with the methods described in Annex III to this Regulation during the trial period described in Article 4.
2. On the basis of an evaluation of the results of these calculations a decision on the method to be used for the allocation of FISIM shall be taken in accordance with Article 5.
Means
1. The Member States shall ensure that the necessary data or appropriate estimates for carrying out these calculations shall forthwith be put at the disposal of the national authority in charge of conducting the calculations referred to in Article 2(1).
2. The national authority shall be responsible for the collection of supplementary data it deems necessary for the calculations.
Submission of the results of calculations during the trial period
The Member States shall submit to the Commission the results of the calculations referred to in Article 2(1), in accordance with the following schedule:
The results for calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 shall be submitted no later than 1 November 1999.
The results for calendar year 1999 as well as revised results for calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 shall be submitted no later than 1 November 2000.
The results for calendar year 2000 as well as revised results for calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 shall be submitted no later than 1 November 2001.
The first estimates for calendar year 2001 as well as revised results for calendar years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 shall be submitted no later than 30 April 2002.
Evaluation of results
1. On the basis of the results referred to in Article 4, the Commission, after consulting the Statistical Programme Committee, shall submit before 31 December 2000 a mid-term report and before 1 July 2002 a final report to the European Parliament and the Council containing a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the implications of the trial methods for allocating and calculating FISIM as described in Annex III.
2. The necessary measures for the application of this Regulation, including measures to clarify and improve the trial methods described in Annex III, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure of Article 7.
3. Before 31 December 2002, the Commission shall, after consulting the Committee for Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics and in accordance with the procedure of Article 7, adopt the method to be used for the allocation of FISIM in case the findings of the final evaluation report on the reliability of the results obtained during the trial period are positive.
4. In case the Commission in its final evaluation report referred to in paragraph 1 finds that none of the trial methods for allocating FISIM are more reliable for the correct measurement of the economic activity than the present zero allocation, the Commission shall submit, if necessary, an appropriate proposal to the Council for the modification of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96.
Transmission to the Commission
From 1 January 2003 the Member States shall transmit to the Commission the results of the calculations made pursuant to this Regulation as part of the tables referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2223/96.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84 of 19 June 1984 on the European Regional Development Fund (1), and in particular Article 13 (1) thereof,
Whereas the Government of Ireland submitted on 29 April 1987 the intervention programme provided for in Article 8 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3300/86 of 27 October 1986 instituting a Community programme for the development of certain less-favoured regions of the Community by improving access to advanced telecommunications services (STAR programme) (2);
Whereas the Member State has requested a financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund in favour of the intervention programme;
Whereas all the conditions set out in Regulations (EEC) No 1787/84 and (EEC) No 3300/86 enabling the Commission to approve the intervention programme and to grant the assistance requested from the Fund are met;
Whereas the programme is the subject of an agreement between Ireland and the Commission and may therefore be approved by the latter under the terms of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84 so as to constitute the programme agreement within the meaning of the aforesaid Article 13 (1);
Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
The intervention programme to implement in Ireland the Community programme for the development of certain less-favoured areas of the Community by improving access to advanced telecommunications services (STAR programme), as agreed between Ireland and the Commission of the European Communities, is approved and constitutes the programme agreement within the meaning of Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84.
The intervention programme will remain valid until 31 October 1991.
The amount of ERDF aid in favour of the aforesaid intervention programme shall not exceed 50 million ECU. The contribution by the Fund shall not exceed 55 % of all public expenditure taken into account in the programme.

Budgetary commitments to this programme shall be effected, within the budgetary limits, in annual instalments in line with the financial plan and with progress made in implementing the programme.
Failure to observe any of the conditions stated in this Decision or in the Community programme will entitle the Commission to reduce or to cancel aid granted under this Decision. In that event, the Commission may require full or partial repayment of aid already paid to the beneficary. Reductions or cancellations of aid may not be made without giving an opportunity to the beneficiary to submit its observations, within a time limit fixed by the Commission for this purpose.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1393/76 of 17 June 1976 laying down detailed rules for the importation of products in the wine-growing sector originating in certain third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 of 29 September 1975 laying down special rules for the importation of products in the wine-growing sector originating in certain third countries (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1166/76 (2), and in particular Article 5 (1) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 laid down special rules for the importation of certain products in the wine-growing sector ; whereas the procedure for implementing those rules should be laid down;
Whereas the basis of that Regulation is the carrying out of a check to ensure that the free-at-frontier reference price is observed ; whereas the factors to be taken into consideration in order to permit the necessary comparison between the offer price for the product and the free-at-frontier reference price should be defined;
Whereas the system of reference prices in force in the wine sector prevents products imported from third countries from being placed on the Community market at abnormally low prices ; whereas the free-at-frontier reference price should be observed on the date on which the product is placed in free circulation in the Community;
Whereas monetary compensatory amounts in general and the provisions of Article 17 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of 29 May 1975, laying down detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1040/76 (4), in particular are applicable to imports under this Regulation.
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 lays down that the granting of tariff concessions is subject to presentation of a document issued by the competent authorities of the exporting country certifying that the free-at-frontier reference price has been observed ; whereas, for the sake of administrative simplicity, the movement of goods certificates already applied in trade with the countries concerned should be used to that end;
Whereas a homogeneous information procedure between the Member States and the Commission should be set up in this connection;
Whereas for the purpose of simplifying administrative procedures it seems desirable to exempt certain imports of small quantities from the application of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. In establishing the free-at-frontier offer price for each importation of wines as specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 the following factors shall be taken into consideration: (a) fob price in the country of exportation;
(b) transportation and insurance costs up to the place of entry into the geographical territory of the Community, within the meaning of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 192/75.
2. Where the factors referred to in paragraph 1 are expressed in a currency other than that of the importing Member State the provisions on the valuation of goods for customs purposes shall be applied when converting such currency into the currency of the importing Member State.
1. Member States shall, for each type of wine subject to the special rules for importation laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75, at the time of completion of customs import formalities for free circulation compare the free-at-frontier offer price calculated in accordance with Article 1 with the corresponding free-at-frontier reference price applicable on the day of completion of the said formalities. (1)OJ No L 256, 2.10.1975, p. 2. (2)OJ No L 135, 24.5.1976, p. 41. (3)OJ No L 139, 30.5.1975, p. 37. (4)OJ No L 118, 5.5.1976, p. 12.
2. The free-at-frontier reference price shall be observed when the comparison referred to in paragraph 1 shows that the free-at-frontier offer price expressed in the currency of the importing Member State is not less than the free-at-frontier reference price for the corresponding type of wine.
3. The free-at-frontier offer price shall for each type of wine be declared in the declaration of release for free circulation and such declaration shall be accompanied by all the documents required to verify this price.
1. For the purposes of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75, the movement certificate used in trade with the third countries concerned shall constitute the document referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article. To that end, the description of the goods shall include the alcoholic strength of each type of wine listed on the certificate, which shall be endorsed as follows by the authorities of the exporting third country:
"This is to certify that on ... (date of exportation) the free-at-frontier reference price for the wine described above was observed."
2. The above endorsement shall be placed in the space reserved for the description of the goods, immediately under the last item. The endorsement shall be valid only if it is followed by the date and the signature of the person or persons authorized to sign and authenticated by the stamp of the appropriate authorities.
3. The list of the authorities referred to in paragraph 2 is contained in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2865/73 (1).
1. Member States, using the form shown in Annex I, shall not later than the 15th day of each month inform the Commission in respect of the preceding month of individual cases of failure to observe the free-at-frontier reference price in respect of imports of wine originating in the third countries referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 (2).
2. Member States, using the form shown in Annex II, shall without delay inform the Commission of individual cases where as a result of failure to observe the free-at-frontier reference price imports of wine have, pursuant to Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75, not benefited from the preferential duty.
1. The provisions of this Regulation shall not apply: (a) to quantities of wine of 15 litres or less: - consisting of consignments of commercial samples to be distributed free of charge,
- carried in the luggage of tourists,
- sent in small consignments to private individuals where such quantities are obviously intended for the personal or family consumption of the persons concerned;
(b) to wine forming part of the belongings of individuals who are moving houses;
(c) to wine imported for trade fairs under the relevant customs arrangements, provided that the wine concerned is put up in containers of a capacity not exceeding two litres;
(d) to quantities of wine imported for experimental purposes of a scientific or technical nature (subject to a maximum of 1 hl per consignment).
(e) to wine intended for and sent directly to diplomatic, consular or similar establishments and imported in accordance with the exemption which has been granted to them.
(f) to wine held on board international means of transport as victualling supplies.
2. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure verification of the destination of the wine specified in paragraph 1.
The provision of Article 3 shall not apply to wines which are proved to have been consigned from the concerned third country before 1 July 1976.
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1466/74 of 30 May 1974 on communications from Member States concerning the value for customs purposes of wine imported from third countries (3) is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1976. (1)OJ No L 295, 23.10.1973, p. 8. (2)OJ No L 99, 5.5.1970, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 156, 13.6.1974, p. 11.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/96 of 28 June 1996 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector and albumin (2), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
Whereas:
The applications for import licences lodged for the period from 1 July to 30 September 2006 are, in the case of certain products, for quantities less than or equal to the quantities available and can therefore be met in full, but in the case of other products the said applications are for quantities greater than the quantities available and must therefore be reduced by a fixed percentage to ensure a fair distribution,
1. Applications for import licences for the period 1 July to 30 September 2006 submitted pursuant to Regulations (EC) No 593/2004 and (EC) No 1251/96 shall be met as referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 of 14 November 1983 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 of 14 November 1983 laying down general rules for the extension of certain rules issued by producers' organizations in the fruit and vegetables sector (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 and Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 specify that the said Regulations are to enter into force as soon as the Community has presented to the two candidate countries its declaration concerning the accession negotiations on fruit and vegetables; whereas the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, is to note when the said condition has been fulfilled and fix the date on which these Regulations will enter into force;
Whereas the Community presented its declaration concerning the accession negotiations to, respectively, Portugal on 29 November 1983 and Spain on 21 February 1984 in the sector on agriculture dealing, in particular, with fruit and vegetables;
Whereas therefore the condition referred to in the first paragraph of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 and the first paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 is fulfilled; whereas, in view of the time needed to implement the extended application of certain rules issued by producers' organizations, and particularly the need to consult the producers concerned, the date when the new arrangements come into force should be put back,
Regulations (EEC) No 3284/83 and (EEC) No 3285/83 shall enter into force on 1 June 1984.
However, the system under which the application of certain rules is to be extended, as provided for in Article 15b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, inserted by Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83, shall operate:
- from 1 April 1985 in the case of products for which a marketing year has not been laid down,

of 31 July 2002
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 24,238/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) By Decision C(2007) 3371 of 13 July 2007, the Commission gave the Agency a framework mandate to perform certain activities under Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system (3) and Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system (4). Under the terms of that framework mandate, the Agency was requested to revise the TSI on freight wagons.
(3) On 25 March 2013, the Agency issued a recommendation on amendments to the TSI on freight wagons (ERA/REC/01-2013/INT).
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Commission Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 of 13 March 2013 concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘rolling stock — freight wagons’ of the rail system in the European Union (5).
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 8(4) is replaced by the following:

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (4),
Whereas Community action to achieve economic and social cohesion must be taken in compliance with the rules of free competition; whereas this programme is an exceptional measure and Community assistance must accordingly be limited to the necessary measures to enable the Portuguese textile industry to adapt to the new requirements of the international situation;
Whereas the Portuguese textile and clothing industry, which accounts for a third of the jobs in Portuguese industry and a third of the country's industrial exports. is highly vulnerable in the face of the increase in international competition resulting from the GATT agreements; whereas the implications thereof in this sector, which is of importance to the economic fabric of some Portuguese regions, might jeopardize the economic and social cohesion of the Community;
Whereas on 15 December 1993 the Council approved the Commission's intention to allocate ECU 400 million to the modernization of the Portuguese textile and clothing industry;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of interest subsidies for loans granted by the European Investment Bank or other financial bodies with a view to achieving the objectives of the specific programme;
Whereas the Commission has published in the Official Journal of the European Communities Notice 94/C 180/04 to the Member States laying down guidelines for the initiative concerning the modernization of the Portuguese textile and clothing industry (5);
Whereas the budgetary authority has agreed to enter the financing for this programme in one of the chapters of the budget covered by Section 3 of the Financial Perspective annexed to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 29 October 1993 on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (6);
Whereas a financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 is inserted in this Regulation for the whole duration of the programme without affecting the powers of the budget authority defined in the Treaty;
Whereas the provisions governing the use of these resources should be determined;
Whereas, in order to simplify the administration of these resources, which should be entrusted to the Commission, and to ensure consistency with the Community's other structural measures, the Commission should apply by analogy the appropriate provisions governing the Structural Funds, in particular Regulations (EEC) No 2052/88 (7), (EEC) No 4253/88 (8), (EEC) No 4254/88 (9), (EEC) No 4255/88 (10), and (EEC) No 1866/90 (11),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 of 30 June 1981 on measures applicable to imports of mushrooms of the species Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1122/92 (4), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 of 22 June 1990 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2895/92 (6), the release for free circulation of mushrooms originating in China, South Korea and Taiwan is subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3850/89 of 15 December 1989 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods (7);
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3850/89, the competent authorities in the Community are to accept as valid only originals of certificates of origin; whereas that provision is particularly harsh as regards imports into the Community of preserved cultivated mushrooms; whereas the consequence of losing the original of the certificate of origin is payment of an additional amount equivalent to approximately 100 % of the value of the product; whereas, in order to avoid such a consequence and in view of the fact that the requirement as to origin was laid down for the benefit of the third countries concerned, provision should be made for a derogation from Article 3 (2) of the abovementioned Regulation to permit the competent Community authorities to accept a duplicate of the original in the event of loss of the original;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3850/89 applies to the imports covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 since 1 January 1991; whereas the abovementioned derogation should also apply from that date;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90, the overall quantity referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 is to be allocated on the one hand to traditional importers and on the other hand to new importers; whereas the quantity still available at 15 October of the year in progress is allocated by the Commission to the group of importers for which quantities are no longer available; whereas this provision, which restricts access to the quantity still available at the end of the year to a single group of importers appears to damage the interests of the third countries benefiting under these import arrangements where supply exceeds demand; whereas, if access to the quantity available at 15 October of the year in progress is extended to all importers, the undesired obstacles to the full utilization of quantities still available for the year are eliminated; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 should accordingly be amended, care being taken, however, to state that for 1992, the date 15 October must be replaced by the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following second subparagraph is added to Article 4 (1):
'However, by way of derogation from Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3850/89, the competent authorities may accept as valid duplicates of originals of certificates of origin in the event of loss of the original.'
2. The second subparagraph of Article 5 (4) is replaced by the following:
'However, where the quantities laid down in (a) or (b) are not applied for or are applied for only in part, the balance available at 15 October of the year in progress shall be allocated to two groups of importers in accordance with detailed rules laid down by the Commission as regards the submission of applications and the issue of import licences. For 1992, this allocation shall cover the quantity still available on 8 December 1992.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(1) shall apply from 1 January 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3904/89
of 15 December 1989
opening and providing for the administration of Community unilateral tariff quotas for coffee, not roasted and not decaffeinated, and for cocoa beans, whole or broken (1990)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in accordance with the conclusions of the negotiations on the accession of Spain, and in order to take account of the traditional trade flows between that country and Latin America, the Community opened, for the first three years of the transitional period that is, until 31 December 1988 duty-free autonomous Community tariff quotas of 40 000 tonnes for coffee, not roasted and not decaffeinated and of 10 000 tonnes for cocoa beans, whole or broken; whereas, for the same reasons, these tariff measures were renewed for 1989, while taking into account, as in previous years, the special position of Spain; whereas, pending a definitive solution to the problem in the framework of the generalized system of preferences when it is revised for the ten-year period 1991 to 2000, it is recommended to renew the tariff measures in question for 1990, by slightly increasing the quotas to 48 000 tonnes and 12 000 tonnes respectively;
Whereas, in particular, equal and continuous access to the said quotas should be ensured for all importers, and the rate of duty for the tariff quotas should be applied consistently to all imports until the said quotas are used up; whereas, with the aim of warranting moreover the granting of the main benefit of these measures to Spain, the maintenance of a certain allocation of these quotas among Member States, seems necessary; whereas it is therefore appropriate to subdivide the quota amounts into two parts, the first one to be allocated from the outset to Spain, the second one to constitute a reserve from which the other Member States and where appropriate, Spain could draw the necessary quantities to cover their actual needs;
Whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, and requires the Commission in particular to be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volumes have been used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of Spain's initial share remains unused, it is essential that the Member State concerned should return any unused quantities in order to prevent part of the Community tariff quotas from remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1990, the customs duties applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown herewith:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (in tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09.2733 // 0901 11 00 // Coffee, not roasted and not decaffeinated // 48 000 // 0 // 09.2735 // 1801 00 00 // Cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted // 12 000 // 0 // // // // //
2. Imports of the products in question may not be charged against these tariff quotas if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements.
1. The quotas referred to in Article 1 (1) shall each be divided into two parts.
2. The first part amounting to 37 525 tonnes for coffee, and 9 405 tonnes for cocoa beans, shall be allocated to Spain until the date fixed in Article 4.
3. The second part, amounting to 10 475 tonnes for coffee, and 2 595 tonnes for coca beans, shall be reserved for the Member States other than Spain, and shall be managed by the Commission, which can take any administrative measure necessary to achieve its efficient management. Article 3 shall apply for the management of these quantities.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration for release for free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the quota amount;
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the entries for release for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission thereof.
Spain shall, as quickly as possible, return to the second part of each of the quotas the total quantities which, on 15 September 1990, have not been used in the first part which was allocated to that Member State.
It shall at the same time, inform the Commission of the total imports of the products in question, up to and including 15 September 1990, charged against the tariff quotas and, if appropriate, the quantities being returned to the second part of the quota.
With effect from 16 September 1990, imports of the products in question in Spain shall only benefit from the tariff quotas within the limits of the balances available, and in accordance with the rules provided in Article 3.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and continuous access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permit.
Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:

(3) The ECB's subscribed capital will be EUR 5 760 652 402,58 with effect from 1 January 2007.
(4) The expanded capital key requires the adoption of a new ECB decision repealing Decision ECB/2004/6 with effect from 1 January 2007 and determining how and to what extent the participating NCBs are under an obligation to pay up the ECB's capital with effect from 1 January 2007.

of 30 March 2001
on Community cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organisation with particular regard to activities carried out by the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease
(notified under document number C(2001) 984)
(2001/300/EC)
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 Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999(2), and in particular Articles 12 and 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the context of major epidemics of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in the late 1950s both within the Community and in neighbouring countries, the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EUFMD) was founded within the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations Organisation.
(2) In the 1960s, due to increased threats from introduction of exotic strains of FMD into Europe, the member countries of the EUFMD were called ot establish a trust fund aimed at emergency measures to be carried out in the Balkans, the main entrance route of the disease. Later that fund was divided into Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC supported by those member countries that were at the same time Member States of the Community and Trust Fund 90970/MTF/004/MUL supported by member countries of EUFMD which at that time were not or are not Member States of the Community.
(3) The last Community contribution to the Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC was made on the occasion of FMD outbreaks in the Balkans in 1996, in accordance with Commission Decision 96/368/EC of 14 June 1996 on a Community financial contribution to measures to control foot-and-mouth disease in Albania(3) and Commission Decision 96/439/EC of 18 July 1996 on a Community financial contribution to measures to control foot-and-mouth disease in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(4).
(4) In accordance with Council Directive 85/511/EEC of 18 November 1985 on control measures for foot-and-mouth diesease(5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, vaccination against FMD ceased throughout the Community in 1991. The most recent outbreaks of FMD were reported in 2000 in Greece due to introduction from a neighbouring country and in 2001 in the United Kingdom.
(5) However in countries adjacent to the Member States outbreaks and in some cases severe epidemics have been recorded during the last years which are liable to threaten the health status of Community susceptible livestock mainly due to movement of persons and goods, excluding imports of livestock and livestock products which are prohibited, and means of transports between Member States and neighbouring countries.
(6) In the light of the emergence of new virus topotypes and regional deterioration of control measures, the Community, in close cooperation with the EUFMD and by using the Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC, supported emergency vaccination campaigns in Turkey in 1998 and in Transcaucasia in 1999 and 2000.
(7) Since its establishment, Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC has been operated on a case-by-case basis in agreement between the Commission and EUFMD by Exchange of Letters of agreement to measures proposed by the EUFMD.
(8) On 25 February 2000 a meeting of a group of experts at FAO headquarters reviewed the procedures for operating Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC with regard to expenses incurred due to implementation of agreed FMD control programmes in member countries of the EUFMD or neighbouring countries.
(9) Following evaluation, the group of experts from the Commission and the FAO found the FAO rules and procedures for the operation of such funds equivalent to those applicable in Community institutions.
(10) The group of experts recommended revision of the rules and procedures for the operation of the Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC in order to lay down a formalised agreement on the operation of that Trust Fund. The rules should follow the example of the cooperation programme on food security and its implementing agreement concluded between the Community and the FAO in 2000, which is considered a starting point to a more programmatic approach and formalised procedure in this traditional cooperation between the Community and the FAO.
(11) It appears appropriate to fix the Community contribution to the Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC at a maximum level of EUR 1,8 million for a period of four years. The budget of the Trust Fund for 2001 should be made up of the balance of its funds on 30 September 2000 and a Community contribution to bring the amount to USD 1 million. Subsequently expenditure should be replenished by annual transfers.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The balance of Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC (TFEU 970089129) at 30 September 2000 shall be struck at USD 226404 as laid down in the final report of the 65th session of the Executive Committee of the European Commission for the Control of Foot and Mouth Disease (EUFMD).
2. As from 1 January 2001 the financial obligation of the Community to the fund referred to in paragraph 1 shall be set at a maximum of EUR 1800000 for a period of four years.
3. The first instalment of the amount referred to in paragraph 2 for the year 2001 shall be made up of:
(a) the balance referred to in paragraph 1, and
(b) a Community contribution of the amount necessary to bring the total to USD 1000000.
4. Expenditure incurred by the Trust Fund during the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 shall be replenished by annual Community contributions payable in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively. However, these transfers shall be subject to the existence of available funds in the budget of the Commission.
5. The annual Community contributions referred to in paragraph 4 shall be based on the financial report produced by the EUFMD to either the annual session of the Executive Committee or the biannual general session of the EUFMD, supported by detailed documentation in accordance with the rules of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

(1) On 25 August 2000 Italy informed the Commission on a number of suspected clinical cases of bluetongue in sheep holdings in the province of Cagliari, in the southern part of the island of Sardinia; the occurence of bluetongue was confirmed on 30 August 2000.
(2) Italian authorities adopted on 28 August 2000 a ban of movements of the bluetongue susceptible species, of their semen, ova and embryos from the territory of Sardinia, in order to avoid any spread of disease from this island. Rigorous restrictions on the movements of the bluetongue susceptible species have also been enforced within Sardinia.
(3) Further disease control measures have been adopted in relation to this outbreak by the Italian authorities, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones, epidemiological investigations and specific studies aimed at establishing the distribution of bluetongue virus vectors and the potential spread of disease into Sardinia.
(4) Bluetongue is included in List A of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) and its spread constitutes a serious hazard for the Community and could have international consequences for trade.
(5) For reasons of clarity and transparency it is advisable to adopt at Community level disease control measures concerning the movement of animals of the bluetongue susceptible species and of their semen, ova and embryos from the territory of Sardinia. These measures reflect the measures already adopted by the Italian authorities.
(6) The meassures provided for in this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Italy shall prohibit the dispatch of animals of the bluetongue susceptible species (all ruminants), of their semen, embryos and ova from the territory of Sardinia.

Council Decision
of 7 May 2002
on extension of the joint-undertaking status of Hochtemperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH (HKG)
(2002/355/Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 49 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 74/295/Euratom(1), the Council established Hochtemperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "HKG") as a joint undertaking for a period of 25 years as from 1 January 1974.
(2) The objectives of HKG were to construct, equip and operate a nuclear power station with a capacity of approximately 300 MWe at Uentrop (Unna district) in the Federal Republic of Germany.
(3) After being in operation from 1987 to 1988, the nuclear power station was finally shut down on 1 September 1989 as a result of technical and economic difficulties.
(4) Since that date the objective of HKG has been to implement a programme for decommissioning the nuclear power station up to the safe enclosure stage and, thereafter, to carry out a programme of surveillance of the enclosed nuclear installations.
(5) By Decision 92/547/Euratom of 16 November 1992 extending the status of Kernkraftwerklingen GmbH as a joint undertaking(2), the Council recognised that there was no equivalent to these programmes in the Community, that implementation thereof was important and that they provided useful experience for the nuclear industry and the future development of nuclear energy in the Community.
(6) In order to achieve its objective, HKG requested extension of its joint-undertaking status with effect from 1 January 1999.
(7) Extension of its joint-undertaking status should enable HKG to complete its decommissioning and surveillance programmes, notably by lightening the financial burden.
(8) Arrangements for financing HKG's activities have been agreed between the Federal Republic of Germany, the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia, HKG and its members for the period up to 31 December 2009.
(9) HKG's joint-undertaking status should therefore be extended for the same period,
1. The joint-undertaking status, within the meaning of the Treaty, granted to Hochtemperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH (HKG) is hereby extended for eleven years with effect from 1 January 1999.
2. The objective of HKG shall be to implement a programme for decommissioning the nuclear power station located at Uentrop (Unna district) in the Federal Republic of Germany, up to the safe enclosure stage and, thereafter, to carry out a programme of surveillance of the enclosed nuclear installations.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States and to HKG.

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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 of 7 December 2011 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:

1. For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with order number 09.4153 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2013, licences shall be issued for the quantity requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1312/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.

COUNCIL DECISION 2008/974/CFSP
of 18 December 2008
in support of the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation in the framework of the implementation of the EU Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 23(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 12 December 2003, the European Council adopted the EU Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Chapter III of which contains a list of measures that need to be taken both within the European Union (EU) and in third countries to combat such proliferation.
(2) The EU is actively implementing this Strategy and giving effect to the measures listed in Chapters II and III thereof, for example by releasing financial resources to support specific projects leading to the enhancement of a multilateral non-proliferation system and multilateral confidence building measures. The Hague Code of Conduct against ballistic missile proliferation (hereinafter ‘the Code’ or ‘HCoC’ is an integral part of that system. It aims at preventing and curbing the proliferation of ballistic missile systems capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction and related technologies.
(3) On 17 November 2003, the Council adopted Common Position 2003/805/CFSP (1) on the universalisation and reinforcement of multilateral agreements in the field of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and means of delivery. That Common Position calls, inter alia, for the promotion of the subscription of as many countries as possible to the Code, especially those with ballistic missile capabilities, as well as for the further development and implementation of the Code, especially its confidence building measures, and for the promotion of a closer relationship between the Code and the UN multilateral non-proliferation system.
(4) On 23 May 2007, the Council decided to take action to promote the universality of the Code and compliance with its principles. To that end, a workshop was organised in the margins of the 2007 Annual Meeting of Subscribing States which brought together States with major ballistic missile capabilities, including those which did not subscribe to the Code. It is a priority of the EU to continue this dialogue among subscribing and non-subscribing States with the aim of further promoting the universality of the Code as well as its better implementation and enhancement. This Decision should contribute to this process,
1. For the purposes of ensuring the continuous and practical implementation of certain elements of the EU Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the EU shall support the activities of subscribing States to the Code in order to further the following objectives:
(a) promoting the universality of the Code, and in particular the subscription to the Code by all States with ballistic missile capabilities;
(b) supporting the implementation of the Code;
(c) promoting further enhancement of the Code.
2. In this context, the projects to be supported by the European Union shall cover the following specific activities:
(a) providing means for the organisation of targeted outreach, for example in the form of a workshop, aiming at the promotion of new subscriptions to the Code for the region with the lowest level of subscription to the Code;
(b) providing financial and technical means to facilitate, on the one hand, the exchange of information among subscribing States, and, on the other, a visit by international observers to Space Launch Vehicles (SLV) testing launching sites, which subscribing States have resolved to consider on a voluntary basis under Article 4a (ii) of the Code;
(c) providing means to pursue a debate among subscribing States on how to preserve the relevance and the viability of the Code. The debate shall in particular take into account new developments in the area of ballistic missile proliferation and the developments in international institutional and legal frameworks related to ballistic missiles.
These projects shall be carried out for the benefit of subscribing and non-subscribing States to the Code.
A detailed description of the projects is set out in the Annex.
1. The Presidency, assisted by the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (SG/HR), shall be responsible for the implementation of this Decision. The Commission shall be fully associated.
2. The technical implementation of the projects referred to in Article 1(2) shall be carried out by the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris (FRS).
The FRS shall perform this task under the control of the SG/HR, in support of the Presidency and in close consultation with the Chair of the Annual Meetings of the subscribing States to the Code as well as with Austria in its capacity as Immediate Central Contact (ICC)/Executive Secretariat of the Code. For this purpose, the SG/HR shall enter into the necessary arrangements with the FRS.
3. The Presidency, the SG/HR and the Commission shall keep each other regularly informed about the implementation of this Decision, in accordance with their respective competences.
1. The financial reference amount for the implementation of the projects referred to in Article 1(2) shall be 1 015 000 EUR.
2. The expenditure financed by the amount stipulated in paragraph 1 shall be managed in accordance with the procedures and rules applicable to the general budget of the European Communities.
3. The Commission shall supervise the proper management of the expenditure referred to in paragraph 2, which shall take the form of a grant. For this purpose, it shall conclude a financing agreement with the FRS. The financing agreement shall stipulate that the FRS is to ensure visibility of the EU contribution, appropriate to its size.
4. The Commission shall endeavour to conclude the financing agreement referred to in paragraph 3 as soon as possible after the entry into force of this Decision. It shall inform the Council of any difficulties in that process and of the date of conclusion of the financing agreement.
The Presidency, assisted by the SG/HR, shall report to the Council on the implementation of this Decision on the basis of regular reports prepared by the FRS. These reports shall form the basis for the evaluation carried out by the Council. The Commission shall be fully associated. It shall report on the financial aspects of the implementation of this Decision.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its adoption.
It shall expire 6 months after the date of its taking effect, unless the Commission concludes a financing agreement with FRS before expiry of that period, in which case this Decision shall expire 24 months after the date of conclusion of the financing agreement.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 30 December 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil for the 1998/1999 to 2003/2004 marketing years
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001, and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1249/2002(7), lays down that olive growers must lodge crop declarations before 1 December of each marketing year. Article 20(1) of that Regulation lays down that producer organisations or, where appropriate, associations thereof must submit their members' crop declarations and any amendments thereto to the competent agency of the Member State concerned before 1 January of each marketing year.
(2) However, in certain olive-growing regions, due in particular to the high number of crop declarations, ongoing restructuring of olive groves or other specific circumstances, the above dates are no longer appropriate for the purpose of controls. Provision should therefore be made for the Member States to be able to extend, within certain limits, the deadlines for the lodging and submission of crop declarations to the competent agency so as to improve the effectiveness of controls in certain regions.
(3) The management and monitoring of the system of production aid for olive oil requires that the information on new planting provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 be provided on a regular basis. Consequently, the numbers of olive trees for the marketing years after 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 should also be notified to the Commission.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) To allow an extension of the deadline referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 from the current marketing year, this Regulation should apply from 30 November 2002. Provision should therefore be made for its immediate entry into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1) is replaced by the following:
"1. For the purposes of granting aid for the production of olive oil as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation 136/66/EEC, before 1 December of each marketing year olive growers shall lodge crop declarations covering their olive trees in production and details of the olive groves they manage as at 1 November of the marketing year to which the declarations correspond. However, in order to improve the effectiveness of controls in certain regions, the Member States may extend the deadline for the lodging of declarations by a maximum of three months.
Before 1 January of the marketing year concerned, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission the regions and the reasons for which the deadline for the lodging of crop declarations has been extended, and the new date laid down."
2. Article 5(4) is replaced by the following paragraphs 4 and 5:
"4. Before 31 October 2001, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission the measures taken to monitor the application of paragraphs 2 and 3 and to penalise offenders.
5. Before 31 October of the marketing year concerned, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission the number of olive trees regarding which, in accordance with paragraph 2:
- a declaration of intention to plant was lodged,
- the Member State considers that they are replacement plantings of grubbed trees,
- the Member State considers that they are plantings under an approved programme, in accordance with Article 4,
- the Member State considers that they are additional plantings not eligible for aid after 31 October 2001.
However, for the 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 marketing years, the information referred to in the first subparagraph shall be notified to the Commission before 28 February 2003."
3. Article 20(1) is replaced by the following:
"1. Before 1 January of each marketing year, producer organisations or, where appropriate, associations thereof shall submit their members' crop declarations and any amendments thereto to the competent agency of the Member State concerned. However, in order to improve the effectiveness of controls in certain regions, the Member States may extend the deadline for the submission of declarations by a maximum of three months.
The Member States shall communicate to the Commission, before 1 January of the marketing year concerned, the regions and the reasons for which the deadline for the submission of crop declarations has been extended, and the new date laid down."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 30 November 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3810/91 of 18 December 1991 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism to trade in the beef and veal sector between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and Spain and Portugal and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 4026/89 and (EEC) No 3815/90.
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 83 and 251 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88, and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulations (EEC) No 4026/89 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3125/91 (5), and No 3815/90 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3508/91 (7) set for 1991 the indicative ceilings mentioned in Articles 83 and 251 of the Act of Accession for Spain and Portugal; whereas these ceilings are set on the basis of estimated Spanish production and consumption of the products in question and a forward timetable for trade with the rest of the Community;
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 lays down that imports of these products into Portugal from Spain are subject to the supplementary trade mechanism in accordance with Articles 249 to 252 of the Act of Accession;
Whereas, taking into account the development of the Spanish and Portuguese markets, a very large increase in the ceilings is necessary for 1992 in order to advance the process of integration of the said markets with the Community market;
Whereas in order to regulate trade more satisfactorily by taking account of the varying level of sensitivity of the Spanish and Portuguese markets at different times of the year, and in particular lower demand in the second and third quarters, the annual quantities should be split up into two-month periods;
Whereas, when laying down the detailed rules for the lodging of the application and the issuing of licences, derogations should be made from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (9), and from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88;
Whereas it should be laid down that Community traders may only export certain beef and veal products to Spain and Portugal under certain restrictive conditions regarding in particular the length of time they have been trading;
Whereas, with regard to imports to Portugal from third countries, certain aspects of the arrangements applicable to STM import licences laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 596/86 should be clarified; whereas, for this purpose, the application of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2996/90 (12), and of the other provisions regarding the various special import arrangements is the most appropriate for the import arrangements for beef and veal;
Whereas it is desirable, for the sake of clarity, to set out in a new Regulation the detailed rules for the application of the STM in respect of Spain and Portugal and to repeal Regulations (EEC) No 4026/89 and No 3815/90;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The indicative ceilings relating to certain products in the beef and veal sector which may be imported into Spain from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 shall be those set out in Annex I.
2. The indicative ceilings relating to certain products in the beef and veal sector which may be imported into Portugal from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and from Spain shall be those set out in Annex II.
3. If in the course of the same calendar year the total quantity for which applications are submitted in respect of a two-month period is less than the quantity available, the quantity remaining shall be added to the quantity available in respect of the following two-month period.

(b) the first and second subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, the Member States shall notify the Commission before 1 p.m. every Tuesday of the quantity for which licence applications have been lodged the previous week broken down by product concerned. The Member States shall issue STM licences for the quantities requested on the following Friday unless the Commission has taken any special measures;
(c) Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, the first copy of the licence shall be handed to the applicant or sent to the address stated in the application;
(d) the third subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, the obligation to use the licence shall remain in case the single reduction coefficient is applied.

3. All applications from one applicant shall be regarded as a single application.
STM licences shall be requested for products falling within:

of 12 April 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO Regulation’) (1), and in particular the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 121 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (2), the authorised oenological practices are laid down in Annex I to that Regulation. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) has amended the conditions of use of certain oenological practices already authorised in the European Union. In order to meet the international standards in this field and to provide EU producers with the same possibilities available to third-country producers, the conditions of use of these oenological practices should be amended in the EU in accordance with the conditions of use defined by the OIV.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 authorises the use of polyvinylimidazole/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVI/PVP) copolymers in order to reduce the copper, iron and heavy metal content, provided that they comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV, especially as regards the maximum monomer content. As the OIV has not yet adopted such requirements, and for the sake of legal clarity, this practice should be deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 authorises the use of chitosan and chitin-glucan of fungoid origin. At present in the EU, these products are only prepared from the Aspergillus niger mushroom. As the OIV authorises these products and the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV specifies that they derive from the Aspergillus niger mushroom, this information should be included in Regulation (EC) No 606/2009.
(4) Wines entitled to the protected designation of origin ‘Douro’ and the protected geographical indication ‘Duriense’ followed by the statement ‘colheita tardia’ derogate from the maximum sulphur dioxide content. Portugal has requested that all Portuguese wines that have the same characteristics as these wines and are entitled to a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication followed by the statement ‘colheita tardia’ be granted this derogation. A maximum sulphur dioxide content of 400 milligrams per litre should be authorised for these wines.
(5) As the traditional specific term ‘vino generoso’ no longer applies solely to liqueur wines, the provision on the use of this term referred to in point 8 of Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be adapted.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established by Article 195(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007,
Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is amended as follows:
(a) Annex I A is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;
(b) Annex I B is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation;
(c) Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 1 February 2006
setting delivery obligations for cane sugar to be imported under the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India for the 2005/06 delivery period and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 39(6) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 of 30 June 2003 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years for the import of cane sugar under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements and amending Regulations (EC) No 1464/95 and (EC) No 779/96 (2), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 lays down detailed rules for setting delivery obligations at zero duty for products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India.
(2) Application of Articles 3 and 7 of the ACP Protocol, Articles 3 and 7 of the Agreement with India and Article 9(3) and Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 has resulted in the Commission setting delivery obligations for each exporting country for the 2005/06 delivery period, on the basis of the information currently available.
(3) Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 provides that paragraph 1 of that Article does not apply where the difference between the quantity of delivery obligations and the total quantity of ACP-India preferential sugar counted is 5 % or less than the delivery obligations. In the case of Côte d’Ivoire, India and Madagascar, the quantities delivered are 6,7 %, 7,6 % and 6,7 % respectively below the delivery obligations. Given that the quantities concerned are minimal and the impact on the Community sugar market and the supply of raw sugar to Community refineries for that delivery period was negligible, Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 should not be applied to India, Côte d’Ivoire or Madagascar and the quantities not delivered should be added to the delivery obligations for those countries for the 2005/06 delivery period, in accordance with Article 12(4) of that Regulation.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 notwithstanding, paragraph 1 of that Article shall not apply as regards the quantities registered as not delivered for the 2004/05 delivery period in the case of Côte d’Ivoire, India and Madagascar.
The quantities not delivered referred to in paragraph 1 shall be added to the delivery obligations referred to in Article 2.
The delivery obligations for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India in respect of products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, in the 2005/06 delivery period for each exporting country concerned, shall be as set out in the Annex.

Council Regulation (EC) No 399/94 of 21 February 1994 concerning specific measures for dried grapes
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 399/94 of 21 February 1994 concerning specific measures for dried grapes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Euorpean Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas dried grapes are faced with marketing difficulties in spite of the production aid and border protection measures applicable to them; whereas these difficulties are attributable mainly to the gradual deterioration in the competitiveness of the product; whereas, in order to remedy the situation, measures should be implemented for improving its quality and marketing;
Whereas, in view of the production, storage and processing conditions in the main region producing dried grapes, the first of these objectives can be achieved only by means of vocational training for those employed in the sector and by developing more effective procedures for carrying out the operations which take place after the product is harvested; whereas, moreover, a better understanding of the marketing channels will help pinpoint the checks on the increase in the sales of dried grapes produced in the Community;
Whereas the aim of the measures thus envisaged is to achieve the objectives of Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas they should be regarded therefore as intervention measures designed to regularize the market; whereas the vocational training and promotion measures are to be financed out of the savings made as a result of the application of the withholding rates referred to in Article 1 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 of 7 May 1990 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (4),
Specific measures relating to the quality and the promotion of dried grapes produced in the Community and covered by CN codes 0806 20 11, 0806 20 12, 0806 20 91 and 0806 20 92 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in
.
The measures shall comprise:
- in relation to quality:
(a) vocational training measures;
(b) measures to improve transport and storage conditions;
(c) measures for the technical development of new quality and classification parameters and for the development of effective procedures for carrying out drying, cleaning, sorting and storage operations on the holding or at the plant;
- in relation to promotion:
(d) a study of the European market;
(e) an information programme focusing on the specific nature of the Community product and based on the results of the abovementioned measures.
1. The measures referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out by representative groups with members in various branches of the industry and offering assurances that the proposed measures will be properly implemented. The representativeness of groups will be judged in terms of the objective pursued.
However, the measures referred to in points (d) and (e) may be carried out by the Commission.
2. The Community shall contribute up to 70 % towards the financing of the measures referred to in Article 1.
However, in the case of the measures referred to in points (a), (d) and (e) of Article 1, this contribution may be increased to 90 %, 100 % and 100 % respectively.
Expenditure arising from the measures referred to in Article 1 shall be regarded as intervention expenditure designed to regularize the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5). It shall be financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be laid down in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 22 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (6).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

REGULATION (EEC) No 616/72 OF THE COMMISSION of 27 March 1972 on detailed rules for the application of export refunds and levies on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC 1 of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/71 2;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 162/66/EEC 3 of 27 October 1966 on trade in oils and fats between the Community and Greece;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 171/67/EEC 4 of 27 June 1967 on export refunds and levies on olive oil, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 444/72, 5 and in particular Article 11 thereof;
Whereas, to ensure that the export refund system is correctly applied, oils with a high free fatty acid content which are produced and marketed on a very small scale should be excluded from the refund ; whereas for the same purpose subheading No 15.07 A II of the Common Customs Tariff should be subdivided into virgin olive oil and other oil falling within the same subheading;
Whereas, if the export levy is to be fully effective, the amount of that levy should be equal to the maximum amounts fixed in accordance with Article 10 (2) of Regulation No 171/67/EEC ; whereas, however, the levy is fixed only where the difference between the c.i.f. price and the market target price for unrefined olive oil might give rise to exports which could lead to disturbances on the Community market;
Whereas since the volume of traditional exports in small containers is not noticeably affected by the trend of world prices, provision should be made for an exemption from the levy in respect of these exports ; whereas, however, an exemption in excess of the lowest packaging costs could lead to speculative exports in small containers ; whereas the exemption should therefore be limited to the level of these costs;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats;
The export refund shall be granted only on olive oils with a free fatty acid content expressed as oleic acid of not more than 30 g per 100 g.
For the purposes of granting the export refund, products falling within subheading No 15.07 A II of the Common Customs Tariff shall be subdivided as follows: - 15.07 A II (a) : virgin olive oil;
- 15.07 A II (b) : other.
The amounts of the export levies on olive oil shall be equal to the maximum amounts resulting from the application of Article 10 (2) of Regulation No 171/67/EEC. 1OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66. 2OJ No L 282, 23.12.1971, p. 8. 3OJ No 197, 29.10.1966, p. 3393/66. 4OJ No 130, 28.6.1967, p. 2600/67. 5OJ No L 54, 3.3.1972, p. 6.
However, exports of olive oil falling within subheading No 15.07 A I of the Common Customs Tariff and subheading No 15.07 A II (a) referred to in the first indent of Article 2, in immediate packings of a net capacity not exceeding 5 kg, shall be granted an exemption from the levy amounting to 7 units of account per 100 kg net of oil exported.
1. The Commission shall fix export levies where the difference referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10 (2) of Regulation No 171/67/EEC is 2 75 units of account or more per 100 kg. These levies shall be fixed as often as is necessary for the stability of the Community market and in such a way as to ensure that they are applied at least once a week.
2. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 1, the export levies previously fixed shall remain applicable where variations in the factors used to calculate the difference referred to in paragraph 1 would entail an increase or a reduction of less than 0 750 units of account per 100 kg in these levies.
3. The Commission shall notify Member States of the amount of the export levies to be charged per 100 kg of oil exported as soon as such levies have been fixed.
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 154/69 1 of 27 January 1969 on detailed rules for the application of export refunds and levies on olive oil, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2219/70 2, is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1972.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, when the reference quantities and quantities applied for pursuant to Article 3 (1) and the third subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3771/92 (2), were notified to the Commission by the national authorities, the figures were wrong in certain cases;
Whereas, in view of the fact that the operators concerned are not responsible for the mistakes made and with a view to ensuring sound administration of this Community import quota, the remaining quantities should be shared out among the operators affected by the mistake in forwarding the figures; whereas, since the remaining quantities are less than the quantities to be corrected, the latter should be reduced proportionately;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In the framework of the Community tariff quota for meat of bovine animals, frozen, provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3392/92, the quantities which were not covered by import licence applications at 31 August 1993, namely 11 619 tonnes, shall be allocated as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopt a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 1,832 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C(96) 3161 of 9 December 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 16 December 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Midi-Pyrénées; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (11), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the action constituting the measure C5 of this programming document is subject, on the part of the Commission and the Member State, to examination of a public contract award within the framework of the procedure provided for in Article 169 of the treaty; whereas consequently the financial commitments should be reduced by the amount corresponding to this measure, until the closure of this procedure.
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission has verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/1 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of France;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Midi-Pyrénées concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
The single programming document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in France;
the main priorities are:
1. consolidation of company structure,
2. strengthening of technological innovation,
3. upgrading of the territory,
4. economic diversification,
5. technical assistance;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the single programming document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the provisions on financial implementation,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the single programming document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
2. To this global maximum allocation is added an amount of ECU 1,832 million not subject to indexation, resulting from unused appropriations of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996.
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 52,972 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the single programming document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 68,2 million for the public sector and ECU 54,1 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 42,972 million,
- ESF: ECU 10,000 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 12,185778 million,
- ESF: ECU 3,115000 million.
In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 7, these commitments do not include the amounts relating to the action constituting the measure C5 actually subject to examination within the framework of the procedure provided for in Article 169 of the treaty. The corresponding commitments will be made after the closure of this procedure.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
3. Payments subsequent to the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 shall be subject to confirmation by the Commission of the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position with regard to the outcome of the current procedure concerning the action referred to in the measure C5 of the single programming document, and consequently, the commitments which result from the implementation of the aforesaid action shall be reduced by the amount corresponding to this measure until the closure of the current procedure.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 860/92 (2), and in particular Article 4 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2824/88 of 13 September 1988 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of the system of maximum guaranteed quantities in the tobacco sector and amending Regulations (EEC) No 1076/78 and (EEC) No 1726/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2907/92 (4), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 provides for a system of maximum guaranteed quantites; whereas that system provides in particular that where the quantities fixede for a variety or a group of varieties are exceeded, the prices and premiums concerned must be reduced in accordance with Article 4 (5) of that Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2824/88 lays down that, before 31 July of the year following that of harvest, the Commission must, for each of the varieties or groups of varieties of tobacco for which a maximum guaranteed quantity has been fixed, determine in particular on the basis of the figures notified by the Member States, the quantity actually produced which, if exceeded, causes the prices and premiums for the variety or group of varities concerned to be reduced by 1 % for each 1 % by which the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded; whereas when that occurs the norm price is reduced by an amount equal to the reduction in the premium; whereas in the case of the 1992 harvest the maximum reduction allowed is 23 %;
Whereas Council Regulations (EEC) No 861/92 (5) and (EEC) No 2062/92 (6) fix, inter alia, the maximum guaranteed quantities of leaf tobacco, and the prices and premiums, respectively, for the 1992 harvest;

Whereas Article 1 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1768/93 of 30 June 1993 laying down the prices, premiums and supplementary amounts fixed in ecus in the raw tobacco sector and reduced as a result of monetary realignments (7) states that the prices must be divided by 1,013088 if the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate occurs with effect from 1 July 1993, whereas, for the sake of clarity, the prices should be established with or without application of the reducting coefficient;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
1. For the 1992 harvest the actual production of each variety or group of varieties of tobacco and the overrun of the maximum guaranteed quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 861/92 shall be those set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
