terminating the investigation initiated by Implementing Decision 2012/161/EU with respect to the effective implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in Bolivia
(notified under document C(2013) 1422)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(2013/136/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences from 1 January 2009 and amending Regulations (EC) No 552/97, (EC) No 1933/2006 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1100/2006 and (EC) No 964/2007 (1), and in particular Article 19(2) thereof,
After consulting the Generalised Preferences Committee,
Whereas:
(1) On 20 March 2012 the Commission initiated an investigation pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (the ‘GSP Regulation’) with respect to the effective implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in the Plurinational State of Bolivia (‘Bolivia’) by the publication of Commission Implementing Decision 2012/161/EU (2).
(2) The scope of the investigation was to determine whether the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance which is granted to Bolivia should be withdrawn, according to the provisions that are contained in Article 15(2) of the current GSP Regulation.
(3) Pursuant to Article 18(1) of the GSP Regulation, a Notice of the initiation of the investigation has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 20 March 2012 (3).
(4) On 3 April 2012, the European Commission invited the Government of Bolivia to submit any information and comments relevant to the purpose of the investigation within four months from the date of publication of the Notice in the Official Journal. The Commission also sent to the Government of Bolivia a questionnaire on the implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (‘the UN Single Convention’).
(5) The Government of Bolivia provided its comments in the form of a response to the questionnaire within the relevant time limit.
(6) The Commission analysed the content of the response to the questionnaire and sent to the Government of Bolivia a request for further clarification of certain elements. The Bolivian side responded in good time to this request and provided the clarifications requested.
(7) The Commission also sought all information it considered necessary, including the results of the 2012 United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) report on Coca Cultivation in Bolivia.
(8) In analysing the reply sent to the questionnaire and the available information, the Commission noted that no major change in the relevant legislation Bolivia has occurred since Bolivia’s denunciation of the UN Single Convention, which took effect on 1 January 2012.
(9) From the analysis of the reply to the questionnaire and the available information, the Government of Bolivia has not changed its approach towards the treatment of illicit drugs production, trade and use in the period of time which followed its denunciation of the UN Single Convention.
(10) According to the information which is included in the reply to the questionnaire and all available information to the Commission, Bolivia has in place a set of legislative tools and institutions to fight the production, trade and use of illicit drugs. Bolivia is party to international agreements whose aim is to fight production and supply of illicit drugs.
(11) Therefore, it is concluded that there are no elements at the disposal of the Commission that would suggest that the legislation and the practice of the Bolivian authorities would prevent them from implementing the rules of the UN Single Convention.
(12) The Commission has received information that, on 10 January 2013, more than two-thirds of the State Parties of the UN Single Convention have not opposed the request that Bolivia had deposited to re-accede the UN Single Convention with a reservation on the traditional use of coca leaves (in particular chewing and medicinal uses). Therefore, Bolivia has re-acceded the UN Single Convention as from 10 February 2013.
(13) The Commission considers that national legislation of Bolivia incorporates the UN Single Convention and that the Government of Bolivia is effectively implementing its legislation concerning illicit drugs.
(14) Consequently, in accordance with the provisions contained in Article 15(2) of the GSP Regulation, the Commission concluded that the temporary withdrawal of the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance is not warranted and that the investigation shall be terminated.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Generalised Preferences Committee,
The investigation initiated by Implementing Decision 2012/161/EU with respect to the effective implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in Bolivia is hereby terminated.
This Decision is addressed to the Plurinational State of Bolivia.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2030/90 of 17 July 1990 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 as regards physical checks carried out at the time of export of agricultural products attracting refunds or other amounts
|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2030/90
of 17 July 1990
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 as regards physical checks carried out at the time of export of agricultural products attracting refunds or other amounts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 of 12 February 1990 on the monitoring carried out at the time of export of agricultural products receiving refunds or other amounts (1), and in particular Articles 6 and 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas, having regard to the importance of agricultural refunds within the Community budget and the shortcoming detected as regards physical checks on products for which refunds of other amounts are granted at the time of export, Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 establishes Community framework arrangements designed to increase the number of physical checks in order to ensure that the operations in question have actually been carried out and executed properly; whereas, however, those minimum requirements established at Community level do not affect the responsability of the national authorities for carrying out physical checks on the agriculturel products concerned so as to avoid undue payments as far as possible by taking into account all the concrete circumstances of the export operations, and in particular the quantities of products and the level of the refund involved, the risk of fraud attaching thereto and the reliability of the exporter;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 should include transitional measures concerning in particular the minimum rate of 5 % of export declarations which should in principle be subjected to physical checks; whereas, in view of the difficulties of some Member States in achieving this rate, there should be a transitional period up to the end of 1991 during which the above-mentioned minimum rate is to be attained progressively;
Whereas, in these circumstances, those detailed rules should be confined to the specifications strictly necessary for the Community system to be applied rapidly, subject to subsequent additions in the light of experience gained, in particular as regards the quality aspects of the physical checks in question and the fixing of higher scrutiny rates provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 for specific cases and periods, on the basis of objective findings of an increased risk or fraud;
Whereas, it should be specified at this stage which operations are subject to the monitoring rules in question and which may be exempted, having regard, on the one hand, to the monitoring systems already in existence for such operations and, on the other hand, to the limited quantity of certain exports; whereas, in certain cases, the physical checks carried out prior to export may be taken into account where they appear equivalent and the identity of the products is ensured; whereas in the interests of efficiency and consistency, it is basically a matter of synchronizing the arrangements provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 with the checks already in existence under the following provisions:
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 of 8 July 1987 laying down general rules for the mobilization in the Community of products to be supplied as Community food aid (2),
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87 of 18 September 1987 on the documents to be used for the purpose of implementing Community measures entailing verification of the use and/or destiantion of goods (3),
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 of 27 November laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1615/90 (5);
Whereas it should be stipulated that where an export declaration covers several agricultural products the particulars relating to each product are to be regarded as a separate declaration for the purposes of determining the representative selection referred to in Article 3 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90; whereas special provisions must be adopted for goods exported under the simplified procedures referred to in Articles 17, 18 and 19 of Council Directive 81/177/EEC of 24 February 1981 on the harmonization of procedures for the export of Community goods (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1854/89 (7);
Whereas it may prove necessary to aggregate the data to be used for determining the basis for calculation of the minimum rate of checks to be carried out where one or more customs offices do not archieve, individually, a significant number of export declarations to be taken into consideration;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
1. This Regulation lays down rules for the implementation of the physical checks referred to in Article 2 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90.
2. The provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 and of this Regulation relating to physical checks:
(a) shall apply to exports to third countries and save where paragraph 3 is applied, to similar operations as referred to in Articles 34 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 in respect of which refunds, monetary compensatory amounts or accession compensatory amounts due are applied for, including those in respect of which the negative monetary compensatory amount is equal to or greater than the refund;
(b) notwithstanding other Community provisions, shall not apply, however, to exports involving Community aid as referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87.
3. Without prejudice to the control measures referred to in Articles 35 (4) and 42 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, Member States shall be authorized not to apply the physical checks to the deliveries referred to in Articles 34 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 in the case of exporters qualifying for the procedures referred to in Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 and where applicable, Articles 17 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87.
4. When calculating the minimum rate of checks to be carried out in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 and the provisions of this Regulation, Member States shall be authorized not to take into account export declarations relating to export operations involving quantities not exceeding 5 000 kg in the case of cereals and rice or quantities not exceeding 500 kg in the case of other products.
5. Member States which make use of such authorization as provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall adopt the necessary provisions to prevent deflection and abuses; they shall inform the Commission as soon as possible of measures adopted in this respect.
1. With a view to determining the basis for calculating the percentage for the checks provided for in Article 2 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90, for the purposes of the first indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 'customs office' means all offices competent to accept an export declaration for the products in question.
2. However, Member States shall be authorized to aggregate in specific cases the data concerning several customs offices where the number of export operations and the quantities involved dealt with by one or each of them does not attain a significant level for a given calendar year, either by product sector or for all product sectors taken together.
Member States which make use of such authorization shall inform the Commission thereof as soon as possible and provide it with data on actual exports dealt with by the customs offices concerned.
3. Member States shall take the necessary measures so that it may be shown, where appropriate, that the customs offices have carried out the physical checks referred to in Article 3 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90.
For the purposes of the third indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90:
(a) products covered by the same market organization shall be considered as coming under one product sector;
(b) however,
- products covered by Council Regulations (EEC) No 2727/75 (1) (cereals) and (EEC) No 1418/76 (2) (rice) shall constitute one product sector;
- products exported in the form of processed goods listed in Annexes B and C to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 (3) shall constitute one product sector.
1. For the purposes of determining the representative selection required under Article 3 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90:
(a) where export declarations relate to several different codes of the refund nomenclature, the particulars for each code shall be deemed to the separate declarations;
(b) in the case of the simplified procedures referred to in Articles 17, 18 and 19 of Directive 81/177/EEC, each consignment of goods covered by a separate code of that nomenclature shall be deemed to be a separate export declaration.
2. In the case of products without a refund nomenclature code, and in particular those referred to in the second indent of Article 3 (b), paragraph 1 shall apply, the tariff codes of the combined nomenclature of goods being used as a basis. However, the Member States may lay down a more detailed distinction depending on the composition of the goods.
1. The physical checks shall be carried out:
(a) during the period between the lodging of the export declaration and authorization to export the goods; and
(b) under the conditions laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87.
2. However:
(a) in the case of authorization as referred to in Article 18 (1) of Directive 81/177/EEC the physical checks shall be carried out in the period between the lodging of the commercial and administrative documents referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article and the authorization to export, depending on the particulars in the commercial or administrative document accompanying the export declaration;
(b) in the case of export operations authorized pursuant to Article 19 (1) of Directive 81/177/EEC the physical checks shall be carried out before the authorization to export is granted on the basis of the particulars contained in the records referred to in paragraph 4 of that Article or, where applicable, in the formalities referred to in paragraph 7 of that Article.
3. In the case of the simplified procedure referred to in Article 19 (3) of Directive 81/177/EEC the physical checks shall be carried out after the particulars of the goods have been entered in the records or by a similar formality.
When authorization to make use of the procedure provided for in the first subparagraph is granted, the competent authorities shall lay down the detailed rules required for carrying out such physical checks.
1. In cases where the refund is paid in advance in accordance with Articles 24 to 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, the physical checks carried out at the time of or during storage and, where appropriate, at the time of processing may be taken into account for calculating the minimum rate of checks referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 provided the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) the physical checks carried out prior to the completion of the customs export formalities meet the same criteria of intensity as those to be carried out normally during the periods referred to in Article 5, and.
(b) the products and goods which have been the subject of previous physical checks are identical to those which are the subject of the export declaration.
2. In the case of analyses and other physical checks carried out prior to the completion of the customs export formalities under Community or national provisions governing the customs arrangements in question or manufacturing processes which the products and goods have undergone, paragraph 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis as regards calculation of the minimum rate of physical checks.
1. The 5 % scrutiny rate referred to in Article 3 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90:
(a) shall not apply for the period from the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 until 30 September 1990;
(b) shall be reduced to 3 % for the rest of 1990 and to 4 % in 1991.
2. The reduced rates referred to in paragraph 1 (b) shall apply to all sectors taken together for each customs office, or for all the customs offices in one region where Article 2 (2) is applied.
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 October 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 15 December 2006
laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank's capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital
(ECB/2006/23)
(2007/44/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the expanded key for subscription to the European Central Bank's (ECB's) capital (hereinafter the capital key weightings and the capital key respectively) as provided for in Decision ECB/2006/21 of 15 December 2006 on the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank's capital (1) requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 31 December 2006 in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new ECB decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2004/7 of 22 April 2004 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank's capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (2) with effect from 1 January 2007.
(2) The Bulgarian National Bank and Banca Naţională a României will not join the ESCB until 1 January 2007, which means that transfers of capital shares pursuant to Article 28.5 of the Statute do not apply to them on this occasion.
(3) Decision ECB/2006/22 of 15 December 2006 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank's capital by the participating national central banks (3) determines how and to what extent the NCBs of the Member States that have adopted the euro (hereinafter the participating NCBs) are under an obligation to pay up the ECB's capital in view of the expanded capital key. Decision ECB/2006/26 of 18 December 2006 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank's capital by the non-participating national central banks (4) determines the percentage that the NCBs of the Member States that will not have adopted the euro on 1 January 2007 (hereinafter the non-participating NCBs) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 January 2007 in view of the expanded capital key.
(4) The participating NCBs, with the exception of Banka Slovenije, have already paid up their shares in the ECB's subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2004/6 of 22 April 2004 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank's capital by the participating national central banks (5). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2006/22 states that either a participating NCB should transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2006/22.
(5) Furthermore, Article 2(1) and 2(2) of Decision ECB/2006/30 of 30 December 2006 on Banka Slovenije's paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contribution to the European Central Bank's reserves and provisions (6) lay down that Banka Slovenije, which will be a participating NCB from 1 January 2007, is under an obligation to pay up the remaining share of its subscription to the ECB's capital in order to arrive at the amount shown next to its name in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2006/22, taking into account the expanded capital key.
(6) Likewise, the non-participating NCBs, with the exception of the Bulgarian National Bank and Banca Naţională a României, have already paid up their shares in the ECB's subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2004/10 of 23 April 2004 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank's capital by the non-participating national central banks (7). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2006/26 states that each of them should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2006/26. Article 2(2) of Decision ECB/2006/26 states that the Bulgarian National Bank and Banca Naţională a României should transfer to the ECB the amount shown next to their names in the table in Article 1 of the same Decision,
Transfer of capital shares
Given the share in the ECB's capital that each NCB, with the exception of the Bulgarian National Bank and Banca Naţională a României, will have subscribed on 31 December 2006 and the share in the ECB's capital that each of these NCBs will subscribe with effect from 1 January 2007 as a consequence of the adjustment of the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2006/21, these NCBs shall transfer capital shares among themselves via transfers to and from the ECB to ensure that the distribution of capital shares with effect from 1 January 2007 corresponds to the adjusted weightings. To this effect, each of these NCBs shall, by virtue of this Article and without any further formality or act being required, either transfer or receive with effect from 1 January 2007 the share in the ECB's subscribed capital shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to a capital share that the ECB shall transfer to the NCB and ‘-’ to a capital share that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB.
Adjustment of the paid-up capital
1. Given the amount of the ECB's capital that each NCB has paid up, if any, and the amount of the ECB's capital that each NCB shall pay up with effect from 1 January 2007 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2006/22 for the participating NCBs and Article 1 of Decision ECB/2006/26 for the non-participating NCBs respectively, on the first operating day of the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (Target) following 1 January 2007 each NCB shall either transfer or receive the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘-’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to that NCB.
2. On the first Target operating day following 1 January 2007, the ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to transfer an amount under paragraph 1 shall each separately transfer any interest on the respective amounts due accruing over the period from 1 January 2007 until the date of the transfer. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.
General provisions
1. The transfers described in Article 2 shall take place through Target.
2. Where an NCB does not have access to Target, the amounts described in Article 2 shall be transferred by crediting an account that the ECB or NCB shall nominate in due time.
3. Any interest accruing under Article 2(2) shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the marginal interest rate used by the ESCB in its most recent main refinancing operation.
4. The ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to make a transfer under Article 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfer on time.
Final provision
1. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2007.
2. Decision ECB/2004/7 is hereby repealed with effect from 1 January 2007.
3. References to Decision ECB/2004/7 shall be construed as being made to this Decision.

(2002/705/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 25 April 2000 acceptable draft single programming document for Gibraltar fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in Gibraltar in the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- tourism, heritage and urban regeneration,
- SMEs and e-commerce,
- transport (port infrastructure),
- environment;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the state aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Fund planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee,
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 19515000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from ERDF at EUR 8380000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 10235000 from the public sector and EUR 900000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 8380000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the Programming Complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its cofinancing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being cofinanced with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain Northern Ireland.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 427/2013
of 8 May 2013
concerning the authorisation of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R646 as a feed additive for all animal species and amending Regulations (EC) No 1750/2006, (EC) No 634/2007 and (EC) No 900/2009 as regards the maximum supplementation with selenised yeast
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R646. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of selenomethionine, an organic compound of selenium, produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R646 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 15 June 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R646 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that its use may be considered as an effective source of selenium for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R646 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The Authority reiterated in its opinion mentioned above the recommendation from its opinion of 15 March 2011 (3) to limit the maximum supplementation with selenised yeast, an organic selenium compound, to 0,2 mg Se/kg complete feed for reasons of consumer safety. Selenised yeasts are already authorised by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1750/2006 (4), (EC) No 634/2007 (5) and (EC) No 900/2009 (6). Consequently, these authorisations should be amended in consistency with the Annex to this Regulation. In case inorganic compounds of selenium are also added to the feed, the supplementation with organic Selenium should not exceed 0,2 mg per kg complete feed.
(7) Since further use of selenised yeasts as a feed additive at incorporation rates higher than 0,20 mg Se/kg complete feed may cause a risk to human health, feed materials and compound feed with higher levels of selenised yeasts should be phased out. For practical reasons however, a limited transitional period should be allowed for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
In column 9 in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1750/2006, the text in the line ‘3b8.10’ shall be replaced by the following:
‘1. The additive shall be incorporated in feed in the form of a premixture.
2. For user safety: breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves should be worn during handling.
3. Maximum supplementation with organic selenium: 0,20 mg Se/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %.’.
In column 9 in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 634/2007, the text in the line ‘3b8.11’ shall be replaced by the following:
‘1. The additive shall be incorporated in feed in the form of a premixture.
2. For user safety: breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves should be worn during handling.
3. Maximum supplementation with organic selenium: 0,20 mg Se/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %.’.
In column 9 in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 900/2009, the text in the line ‘3b8.12’ shall be replaced by the following:
‘1. The additive shall be incorporated in feed in the form of a premixture.
2. For user safety: breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves should be worn during handling.
3. Maximum supplementation with organic selenium: 0,20 mg Se/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 %.’.
The manufacturing of feed containing selenised yeast according to the existing maximum contents in Regulations (EC) No 1750/2006, (EC) No 634/2007 and (EC) No 900/2009 shall be brought in compliance with the new maximum contents as soon as possible and at the latest by 28 July 2013. Feed containing selenised yeast according to the existing maximum contents in Regulations (EC) No 1750/2006, (EC) No 634/2007 and (EC) No 900/2009 may be used up until stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 233/94 of 24 January 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat and Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers
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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas experience has shown that Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (3) should be simplified and amended in certain respects;
Whereas the individual ceiling placed on the premium has limited the number of eligible ewes and goats;
Whereas this measure renders nugatory limits per head for the purpose of determining the amount of premiums to be paid in the sector, without affecting the right to premiums which producers already enjoy; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for the possibility of rectifying individual limits;
Whereas, within the framework of the production of sheepmeat and goatmeat, environmental protection has become an important element which must be taken into consideration; whereas Member States should thus have the possibility of limiting or abolishing payments under the premium scheme for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat, if the producer in question does not fully comply with the rules fixed by the Member States with respect to the environment, subject to compliance with the proportionality principle;
Whereas these amendments entail an amendment to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers (4),
Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall be amended as follows:
1. Article 5 (7) shall be replaced by the following:
'7. Until the end of the 1994 marketing year premiums for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat referred to in this Regulation shall be paid at the full rate within the limit of 1 000 animals per producer in the less-favoured areas within the meaning of
(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC and within the limit of 500 animals in other areas.
Outside the limits indicated in the first subparagraph, the premiums payable shall until the end of the 1994 marketing year, be fixed at 50 % of the amount to be calculated.
In the case of groups, associations or other forms of cooperation between producers, the limits indicated in the first subparagraph shall be applied individually to each of the member farmers.'
2. The following paragraph shall be added to Article 5a:
'6. Member States shall recalculate the individual limits in such a way that quantities above the limits of 500 and 1 000 referred to in Article 5 (7) are reduced by 50 %. These recalculated limits shall apply with effect from the 1995 marketing year.'
3. The following new Article shall be inserted:
'Article 5d
Member States may apply appropriate environmental protection measures on the basis of the specific situation of the land used for the production of sheep and goats eligible for benefit under the premium scheme.
Member States which avail themselves of this possibility shall impose penalties appropriate to and commensurate with the seriousness of the ecological consequences of any breach of these measures. Such penalties may provide for the reduction or, where necessary the abolition of the benefits linked to the respective premium schemes. Member States shall inform the Commission of the measures they take pursuant to this Article.'
Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Community.
It shall apply from the 1994 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

91/384/EEC: Council Decision of 22 July 1991 providing medium-term financial assistance for Romania
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 22 July 1991 providing medium-term financial assistance for Romania (91/384/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), submitted following consultation within the Monetary Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Romania is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and has decided to adopt a market economy model;
Whereas the said reforms are already under implementation and their financial support from the Community will strengthen mutual confidence and bring Romania closer to the Community;
Whereas, following the changes in the international environment, the Romanian economy is in deep recession and facing external shocks which might sharply deteriorate its balance of payments and weaken its precarious reserve position;
Whereas the Romanian authorities have requested financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Group of 24 Industrial Countries and the Community; whereas, over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, a financial gap of some ECU 750 million remains to be covered in 1991, in order to prevent a further erosion of Romania's reserve position and avoid an additional degree of import compression, which could seriously jeopardize the achievement of the policy objectives underlying the Government's reform effort;
Whereas the Commission, as coordinator of assistance from the Group of 24, has invited them and other third countries to provide medium-term financial assistance to Romania;
Whereas the grant by the Community of a medium-term loan to Romania is an appropriate measure to support that country's balance of payments and strengthen its reserve position;
Whereas the question of the risks associated with guarantees from the general budget of the European Communities will be examined in the context of the renewal in 1992 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure;
Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. The Community shall grant to Romania a medium-term loan facility of a maximum amount of ECU 375 million in principal, with a maximum duration of seven years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payements situation and strengthening the reserve position.
2. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Romania in the form of a loan.
3. This loan will be managed by the Commission in full consultation with the Monetary Committee and in a manner consistent with any Agreement reached between the IMF and Romania.
1. The Commission is empowered to negotiate with the Romanian authorities, after consultation with the Monetary Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the loan. These conditions shall be consistent with any agreement as referred to in Article 1 (3) and with arrangements made by the Group of 24.
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee and in close coordination with the Group of 24 and the IMF, that the economic policy in Romania is in accordance with the objectives of this loan and that its conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The loan shall be made available to Romania in two instalments. The first instalment shall be released as soon as a 'stand-by arrangement' has been concluded between Romania and the IMF and the second instalment not before the fourth quarter of 1991, subject to Article 2 (2).
2. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Romania.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest-rate risk, or in any other commercial risk.
2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Romania so decides, to include in the loan conditions, and also to exercise, an early repayment clause.
3. At the request of Romania, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average duration of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by Romania.
5. The Monetary Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 at least once a year.
At least once a year the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the council a report, which will include an assessment, on the implementation of this Decision.

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 agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas,
(1) Commission Decision 2008/61/EC of 17 January 2008 amending Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC as regards the imports of bovine fresh meat from Brazil (2) has modified the import requirements for bovine meat from Brazil. That Decision provides that it is only possible to allow imports to continue on a secure basis by strengthening the control and surveillance of holdings from which animals eligible for export to the Community are sourced and by establishing a provisional list of such approved holdings drawn up by Brazil for which certain guarantees are provided.
(2) Moreover, in the first half of 2008 the authorities of Argentina have adopted a series of measures affecting the normal trade flows of beef from that third country to the Community.
(3) In view of these particular circumstances, Commission Regulation (EC) No 313/2008 of 3 April 2008 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 as regards import requirements for bovine meat from Brazil (3) provided for an extension of the validity of import licences issued under certain import tariff quotas in the beef sector until 30 June 2008.
(4) Operators that had obtained, prior to the entry into force of Decision 2008/61/EC, import rights for the importation of bovine meat within the import tariff quotas referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 529/2007 of 11 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals covered by CN code 0202 and products covered by CN code 0206 29 91 (1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008) (4) and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 545/2007 of 16 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen beef intended for processing (1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008) (5), continued to be faced with severe practical difficulties to source the products before the end of the import tariff quota period. Consequently, a significant part of the import rights allocated to operators remained unused before 1 July 2008. In view of these particular circumstances, it is necessary to provide that, under certain conditions, the securities lodged in relation to those import rights that were not used by 1 July 2008 should be released.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. At the request of the interested parties, the securities related to import rights lodged in application of Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 529/2007 and of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 545/2007 shall be released, under the following conditions:
(a) the applicant has applied for and obtained import rights under the quota referred to in:
(i) Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 529/2007; or
(ii) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 545/2007;
(b) the import rights have been used only partially or not at all by 1 July 2008.
2. The securities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be released proportionally to the import rights which have not been used by 1 July 2008.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2017/2006
of 20 December 2006
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 51/2006 as regards the catch limits for the stock of Norway pout in ICES zones IIa (EC waters), IIIa and IV (EC waters)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 51/2006 of 22 December 2005 fixing for 2006 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular Article 5(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 5(7) of Regulation (EC) No 51/2006, the Commission may revise the catch limits for the stock of Norway pout in ICES zones IIa (EC waters), IIIa and IV (EC waters) in the light of scientific information collected during the first half of 2006.
(2) Following new scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) as well as the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STEFC), new catch limits for the stock of Norway pout in ICES zones IIa (EC waters), IIIa and IV (EC waters) were established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1259/2006 amending Regulation (EC) No 51/2006 (2).
(3) Norway pout is a North Sea stock which is shared with Norway but which is currently not managed jointly by the two Parties.
(4) Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1259/2006, the Community held consultations with Norway, which did not result in agreement between Norway and the Community on an allocation key for that stock for 2006.
(5) In the absence of an allocation key between Norway and the Community for that stock and in recognition of the fact that Norway should be able to fish part of the total allowable catch (TAC) recommended by ICES and STECF, the Community should set an autonomous Community catch limit which is lower than the recommended TAC.
(6) The autonomous Community catch limit should be fixed at a level of 75 % of the recommended TAC. That percentage corresponds to the Community share of total catches on this stock during the last five years and represents the estimated zone attachment calculated through survey data obtained during recent years. However, such approach should be without prejudice to the Community position as regards any future allocation negotiations with Norway.
(7) Annex IA to Regulation No 51/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 51/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 16 August 2012
fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2012/2013
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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) According to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2011, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2011 was eight years.
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1094/2011 of 28 October 2011 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2011/2012 (3) has exhausted its effects, as it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2011/2012. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2012/2013,
For the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 348/2007
of 29 March 2007
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 30 March 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

2007/659/EC: Council Decision of 9 October 2007 authorising France to apply a reduced rate of excise duty on traditional rum produced in its overseas departments and repealing Decision 2002/166/EC

COUNCIL DECISION
of 9 October 2007
authorising France to apply a reduced rate of excise duty on ‘traditional’ rum produced in its overseas departments and repealing Decision 2002/166/EC
(2007/659/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 299(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 299(2) of the Treaty, the Treaty applies to the French overseas departments, the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands. However, taking account of the structural social and economic situation of the French overseas departments, the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands, which is compounded by their remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, economic dependence on a few products, the permanence and combination of which severely restrain their development, the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, shall adopt specific measures aimed, in particular, at laying down the conditions of application of the Treaty to those regions, including common policies. The Council is required, when adopting such measures, to take into account areas such as fiscal policy. When adopting these measures, it has to take into account the special characteristics and constraints of the outermost regions without undermining the integrity and the coherence of the Community legal order, including the internal market and common policies.
(2) On the basis of these provisions of the Treaty, the Council adopted, in respect of the French overseas departments, Decision 2002/166/EC of 18 February 2002 authorising France to extend the application of a reduced rate of excise duty on ‘traditional’ rum produced in its overseas departments (2). Compared with the rates of taxation applied to similar products not originating in the French overseas departments, the reduced rate may be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol set by Council Directive 92/84/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duty on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (3), but may not be more than 50 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol. The Council Decision was to apply until 31 December 2009, with a mid-term report to be drawn up by June 2006 at the latest.
(3) On 27 December 2005 the French Government presented a mid-term report indicating that it was vital that the tax arrangements for traditional rum marketed in mainland France be maintained. Furthermore, in view of developments on the Community market for rum, which are mainly benefiting products originating in third countries, and given the economic and social importance of the sector and the structural nature of the production conditions that diminish the sector’s productivity in the overseas departments and make it difficult to maintain its production on the Community market, France has asked that the volume and duration of the tax arrangements for traditional rum on the mainland market be extended.
(4) Maintaining the cane-sugar-rum sector in the overseas departments is vital to their economic and social balance. In the three departments most affected, Réunion, Guadeloupe and Martinique, the sector produces an annual turnover of over EUR 250 000 000 and provides some 40 000 jobs, including 22 000 direct jobs. It is also advisable to note the positive impact which the cultivation of cane has for the safeguarding of the environment in the overseas departments. Together with the banana sector, this sector is the only significant exporting activity in areas whose exports represent not more than 7 % of the imports. It is therefore necessary and justified for France to maintain, by way of derogation from Article 90 of the Treaty, a reduced rate of excise duty on ‘traditional’ rum produced in its overseas departments in order to avoid endangering their development.
(5) The overhaul of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector in February 2006 goes some way towards securing the sector’s future. Thus, there are plans to introduce support measures under the Posei systems (Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (4)), in the form of both Community and national aid, in order to improve the competitiveness of the overseas departments’ cane-sugar-rum sector. However, these measures still do not offset the gradual dismantling of customs protection and maintain the overseas departments’ share of the rum market.
(6) Given the small scale of the local market, the overseas departments’ distilleries can continue their activities only if they have sufficient access to the market in mainland France, which is the main outlet for their rum production (over 50 % of the total).
(7) The inability to compete on the Community market, which is mainly the result of increased market prices, originates from cost prices which have increased since 2001. Since that date both production and labour costs have increased substantially in the overseas departments. Moreover, overseas departments’ rums have to comply with Community regulatory standards, which call for significant non-productive investment. Since 2001, investment in the overseas departments has exceeded EUR 45 500 000, over half of which was destined for conservation of the environment, representing 47 % of the total. However, though part of this investment has been covered by structural funds, this is not the case of the resulting operating costs, which, depending on the distillery, can add about 10 to 15 % to the cost price of rum.
(8) All these costs, which have increased significantly since 2001, place overseas departments’ businesses in financial difficulties. The only way to ensure the sector’s long-term survival is to offset these costs against greater output.
(9) Since 2002 the total volume shipped to the Community market has fallen by 12 %, from 176 791 hectolitres of pure alcohol to 155 559 hectolitres of pure alcohol. Only the market in mainland France, where rum from the overseas departments qualifies for special tax arrangements that partially compensate its high cost price, has enabled the overseas departments’ rum industry to survive. Since the competitiveness of traditional rum from the overseas departments needs to be supported on the market in mainland France in order to safeguard the activity of their sugar-cane-rum sector, the quantities of traditional rum originating in the overseas departments eligible for a reduced rate of excise duty when released for consumption on that market should be reviewed.
(10) The tax advantage authorised by the present decision does not go beyond what is necessary to address the high cost of production faced by traditional rum producers.
(11) In order to ensure that the present decision does not undermine the single market, the quantities of rums originating in the overseas departments eligible for this measure may not, as before, exceed the trade flows recorded in recent years for the different sources of supply.
(12) Given the need to create a climate of legal certainty for operators in the cane-sugar-rum sector and in view of the depreciation periods for plant and buildings, and in the interests of consistency with other Community rules for the sector, the derogation should be granted to the end of 2012.
(13) The granting of such a duration must, however, be subject to the condition that a mid-term report be produced so that the Commission can assess whether the reasons which justify the granting of the tax derogation still apply and, if need be, consider whether the duration or quantities concerned should be revised in the light of developments on the Community rum market.
(14) Decision 2002/166/EC should be replaced.
(15) This Decision is without prejudice to the possible application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty,
By way of derogation from Article 90 of the Treaty, France is authorised to extend the application on the French mainland, to ‘traditional’ rum produced in its overseas territories, of a rate of excise duty lower than the full rate for alcohol set by Article 3 of Directive 92/84/EEC.
The derogation referred to in Article 1 shall be confined to rum as defined in Article 1(4)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89 of 29 May 1989 laying down general rules on the definition, description and presentation of spirit drinks (5), produced in the overseas departments from sugar cane harvested in the place of manufacture, having a content of volatile substances other than ethyl and methyl alcohol equal to or exceeding 225 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol and an alcoholic strength by volume of 40 % volume or more.
1. The reduced rate of excise duty applicable to the product referred to in Article 2 shall be confined to an annual quota of 108 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol.
2. The reduced rate may be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol set by Directive 92/84/EEC, but may not be more than 50 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol.
By 30 June 2010 at the latest, France shall send the Commission a report to enable it to assess whether the reasons which justified the granting of the reduced rate still exist and, if need be, whether the quota needs to be adjusted in the light of developments on the market.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2007 until 31 December 2012.
1. Decision 2002/166/EC is hereby repealed.
2. References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 May 2012
concerning the non-inclusion of dichlorvos for product type 18 in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market
(notified under document C(2012) 3016)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/254/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes dichlorvos.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, dichlorvos (CAS Nr 62-73-7; EC Nr 200-547-7) has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(3) Italy was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 20 November 2007 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 9 December 2011, in an assessment report.
(5) The assessment has demonstrated that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing dichlorvos cannot be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. The scenarios evaluated in the human health risk assessment as well as in the environmental risk assessment showed a potential and unacceptable risk. It is therefore not appropriate to include dichlorvos for use in product-type 18 in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) In the interest of legal certainty, the date as of which biocidal products of product-type 18 containing dichlorvos should no longer be placed on the market should be specified, taking into account both the unacceptable effects of those products and the legitimate expectations of manufacturers of those products.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Dichlorvos (CAS Nr 62-73-7; EC Nr 200-547-7) shall not be included in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC for product type 18.
For the purposes of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, biocidal products of product type 18 containing dichlorvos shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 November 2012.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products which are authorised to move freely within the Union and comply with requirements under Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) and of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3), as well as marking requirements under point A of Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(5) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 398/2011 (4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(6) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation (1) to the Third ACP-EEC Convention, and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 6 (1) (d) of Protocol 1 provides that the Community may, where necessary, revise the amounts for determining when forms EUR 2 may be used instead of movement certificates EUR 1 or when no documentary evidence of origin is required as laid down in Article 16 of the said Protocol;

Commission Decision
of 2 May 2003
concerning the non-inclusion of metalaxyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant-protection products containing this active substance
(notified under document number C(2003) 1421)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/308/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/23/EC(2), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), and in particular Article 7(3A)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provided for the Commission to carry out a programme of work for the examination of the active substances used in plant-protection products which were already on the market on 25 July 1993. Detailed rules for the carrying out of this programme were established in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant-protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), designated the active substances which should be assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, designated a Member State to act as rapporteur in respect of the assessment of each substance and identified the producers of each active substance who submitted a notification in due time.
(3) Metalaxyl is one of the 89 active substances designated in Regulation (EC) No 933/94.
(4) The main notifier (Novartis, now Syngenta) informed the Commission and the rapporteur Member State that it no longer wished to participate in the programme of work for this active substance and, therefore, would not submit further information.
(5) Nonetheless, in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation 3600/92, Portugal, being the designated rapporteur Member State, submitted on 26 January 2001 to the Commission the report of its assessment of the information submitted by the notifiers in accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation.
(6) On receipt of the report of the rapporteur Member State, the Commission undertook consultations with the Member States in the framework of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health as well as with the remaining notifier (Industrias QuĂmicas del VallĂŠs sa (IQV)) as provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(7) The remaining notifier did not submit a full dossier in relation to metalaxyl within the time limit referred to in Article 6(1) of Regulation 3600/92. Thus continued evaluation of metalaxyl could only proceed on the basis of the dossier submitted by Syngenta. However, since IQV did not have access to that dossier, it was neither in a position to submit information in relation to matters arising from evaluation of it nor to complete its own dossier within a reasonable period. Therefore it is not possible to organise an efficient peer review of metalaxyl. For that reason it is not possible to conclude on the basis of the data submitted for metalaxyl, that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant-protection products containing metalaxyl satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Metalaxyl should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) The review was finalised on 18 October 2002 in the format of the Commission review report for metalaxyl, in accordance with Article 7(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(10) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant-protection products containing metalaxyl are withdrawn within a prescribed period and will not be renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(11) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant-protection products containing metalaxyl allowed by Member State, in accordance with Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(12) This Decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant-protection products containing certain active substances(7), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Metalaxyl is not included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant-protection products containing metalaxyl are withdrawn within a period of six months from the date of adoption of the present Decision;
(b) from the date of adoption of the present Decision, no authorisations for plant-protection products containing metalaxyl are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and not longer than 18 months from the date of adoption of the present Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas in July 1996 France presented to the Commission a plan laying down supplementary measures to control and eradicate BSE in France, hereafter referred to as 'the plan`;
Whereas the principal elements of the plan are:
(a) compulsory slaughter and destruction of suspect cases of BSE and, if confirmed, slaughter and destruction of all animals in herds where cases of BSE have occurred,
(b) identification of animals exposed to the same risks as the affected animals,
(c) an improved system of health monitoring of holdings with bovine animals,
(d) measures to exclude high-risk tissues from the food and feed chains;
Whereas a programme to control BSE and reduce the number of future cases should concentrate on removal of animals most likely to have been exposed to infected meat- and bone-meal in accordance with the principle laid down in point 6 of the conclusions of the Council meeting on 1 to 3 April 1996;
Whereas the Council concluded that such an option should be open to Member States other than the United Kingdom on a case-by-case basis;
Whereas the French authorities will carry out a full epidemiological inquiry on each case of BSE in order to identify other animals likely to have been exposed to infected meat-and bone-meal and will slaughter such animals and destroy the carcases; this inquiry will include animals which may have been moved to other holdings;
Whereas consequently the Commission can accept that the French programme for the eradication of BSE can be financed with a Community contribution on the basis of the same principles and in accordance with the same procedure as laid down in points 8 and 9 of the conclusions of the Council meeting of 1 to 3 April 1996;
Whereas the Commission in accordance with point 9 of those Council conclusions has adopted Regulation (EC) No 716/96 (14), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1974/96 (15) and Regulation EC No 717/96 (16), as amended by Regulation EC No 841/96 (17) in order to provide market support;
Whereas a similar measure will be proposed for financial assistance to France for the present plan;
Whereas the plan presented on 9 July as amended on 5 November 1996 will contribute to a reduction in the number of BSE cases and increase the controls relating to the disease, and it should therefore be approved;
Whereas the Commission should carry out Community inspections in France to verify the application of the measures provided for in this Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The plan regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathy presented in July 1996 as amended on 5 November 1996 by France is hereby approved.
France shall bring into force by 1 December 1996 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to implement the plan referred to in Article 1.
1. France will notify the Commission of any intentions to modify the plan referred to in Article 1.
2. This decision shall be re-examined as soon as possible following a notification as provided for in paragraph 1.
The Commission shall carry out Community inspections on the spot in France to verify the effective implementation of the plan.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2513/2001
of 20 December 2001
laying down detailed rules of application for the import of raw cane sugar for refining under preferential agreements on tariff quotas
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) and the second paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that, during the 2001/02 to 2005/06 marketing years, in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a reduced rate of duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States with which the Community has concluded preferential supply agreements. At present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 2001/870/EC(2) with the ACP States party to Protocol 3 on ACP sugar attached to Annex V to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, and with the Republic of India. As a result, detailed rules of application should be laid down for the special rates of duty resulting from these agreements.
(2) The quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are laid down in accordance with the above Article 39 on the basis of an annual Community balance. As a result, if such a balance shows the need to import raw sugar, a tariff quota at a reduced rate of duty should be opened for all or part of the marketing year in question, to enable the requirements of the Community refineries to be met within the limits laid down by the above Article 39 and under the conditions laid down by those agreements, in particular the special reduced rate of duty fixed at zero.
(3) For the purposes of this preferential system, in the event of part-delivery of raw sugar the quantity imported in white sugar equivalent may be determined only once that raw sugar has been analysed or refined. Application of Article 50 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(4), would have an excessively heavy financial impact on operators. Therefore it does not appear justified not to grant the preferential rate to quantities imported within the limits of the tolerance. However, the cumulation of the quantities imported with such part-deliveries may not result in an overrun of the maximum requirements fixed for each Member State concerned. Provision should therefore be made for a derogation from Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.
(4) As a result of the maximum refining requirements fixed for each Member State and the ensuing need to enable the best possible checks to be undertaken on the distribution of the quantities of raw sugar to be imported, only refiners should be entitled to be issued with the import licences in question, which they should be able to transfer among themselves. The issue of an import licence makes it obligatory to import and refine the quantity in question within the necessary time limits, failing which the penalty payment laid down in Article 39(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is due.
(5) Unforeseeable delays may arise between the loading of a quantity of special preferential raw sugar and its delivery. As a result, a certain tolerance should be permitted to take account of such delays. It is also appropriate to provide for a certain tolerance as regards the time taken for refining.
(6) The origin of imported raw sugar may be proved by presentation of the documents provided for to that end by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2782/76 of 17 November 1976 laying down detailed implementing rules for the importation of preferential sugar(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2665/98(6).
(7) As a result of the special nature of the imports in question, provision should be made for certain derogations from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1148/98(8).
(8) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 of 2 August 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the importation under preferential agreements on tariff quotas of raw cane sugar for refining(9), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2664/98(10), should therefore be amended. In the interests of clarity and efficiency, it should be replaced by this Regulation.
(9) Since the agreements concluded by Decision 2001/870/EC cover the period from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2006, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 July 2001.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
This Regulation lays down detailed rules of application for the special duties provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 for imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States referred to in paragraph 1 thereof under agreements with those States.
1. For the 2001/02 to 2005/06 marketing years referred to in Article 38(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the shortfall referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 39(3) of that Regulation shall be fixed for each marketing year or part thereof, on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance for raw sugar.
The established direct consumption to be taken into account for the purposes of determining this balance may not exceed the limit for such consumption referred to in that Article 39(3).
2. The shortfall may be imported by opening tariff quotas at a zero rate of duty agreed with the States referred to in Article 39(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. It may be distributed among the Member States on the basis of their respective maximum presumed requirements.
3. Notwithstanding Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 and provided that they are covered by the certificate of origin referred to in Article 7 of this Regulation, the quantities imported pursuant to the tolerance provided for in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall be considered as delivered under the quotas referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article.
1. Import licences may be issued only within the limits of the quotas referred to in Article 2(2). These licences shall be issued by the Member States referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 only to those refiners who import for the requirements of their refineries within the meaning of Article 7(4) of that Regulation.
However, refiners may transfer those licences to other refiners within the meaning of that Article 7(4). The obligations to import and refine are not transferable and Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall continue to apply.
2. The Member States concerned shall issue licences only within the limits of the import requirements for special preferential sugar fixed, where necessary, for refineries situated on their own territory.
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 and without prejudice to Article 8(1) of this Regulation, import licences shall be valid from the date on which they are issued until the end of the marketing year in respect of which they are issued.
1. Import licence applications shall be submitted by the refiner to the competent body of the Member State of import concerned.
They shall be accompanied by a declaration by which the refiner undertakes to refine the quantity of raw sugar in question in the marketing year in respect of which it is imported.
Without prejudice to Article 8, if the sugar in question is not refined within the time limit laid down, the refiner who applied for the licence shall pay an amount equal to the full rate of duty applicable to raw sugar in the marketing year in question plus, where applicable, the highest additional rate of duty recorded during that marketing year.
The refiner who applied for the licence must show proof of refining to the satisfaction of the Member State which issued the licence within three months of the end of the period laid down for refining.
2. Box 12 of import licence applications and of the licences themselves shall contain the following entry: "Raw sugar originating in ... (name of the country or countries referred to in Article 39(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001) imported at a special reduced rate of duty pursuant to Article 39(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001."
3. The security relating to import licences shall be EUR 0,30 per 100 kilograms net weight of sugar.
For the purposes of the penalty payment provided for in Article 39(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, amounts in excess of the maximum presumed requirements shall be deemed to be the quantities of the following categories of sugar which have been actually refined in refineries over and above the presumed requirements fixed for the Member State in question in accordance with Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001:
(a) preferential raw sugar;
(b) special preferential sugar;
(c) raw sugar obtained in the French Overseas Departments;
(d) raw sugar falling under the tariff quotas opened pursuant to Council Regulations (EC) No 1095/96(11) and (EC) No 2820/98(12); and
(e) where applicable, raw sugar from beet referred to in Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
1. Proof of the origin of the sugar imported from the States referred to in Article 39(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be provided by presentation of a certificate of origin provided for, as the case may be, in Article 6 or Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2782/76.
2. The certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall bear:
(a) the indication "special preferential raw sugar - application of Regulation (EC) No 2513/2001";
(b) the date of loading of the sugar and the marketing year in respect of which delivery is being made;
(c) the CN code of the product in question.
3. The copies, provided by those concerned, of the certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 above shall be forwarded by the Member States to the Commission.
The competent authorities of the Member States shall enter the following indications on these copies:
(a) the date, established on the basis of an appropriate shipping document, on which loading of the sugar in the port of export was completed;
(b) information relating to the import operation and the quantities actually imported "tel quel".
1. Except in the event of force majeure, where it has not been possible for a quantity of special preferential sugar to be delivered in sufficient time to enable it to be refined by the end of the marketing year in respect of which the import licence has been issued, the Member State of import may, at the request of the refiner, extend the validity of the licence for 30 days from the beginning of the following marketing year.
In that case, the raw sugar in question shall be refined within the time limit referred to in paragraph 2 and shall count against and be within the limits of the maximum presumed requirements for the preceding marketing year.
2. Where it has not been possible to refine a quantity of special preferential sugar by the end of the marketing year in respect of which the import licence has been issued, the Member State in question, may, at the request of the refiner, allow an additional refining time limit of a maximum of 90 days from the beginning of the following marketing year.
In that case, the raw sugar in question shall be refined within that time limit and shall count against and be within the limits of the maximum presumed requirements for the preceding marketing year.
1. Every month in respect of the preceding month the Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission:
(a) the quantities of raw "tel quel" sugar by weight for which import licences as referred to in Article 3 have been issued;
(b) the quantities of raw "tel quel" sugar by weight actually imported under licences as referred to in Article 3;
(c) the quantities of raw "tel quel" sugar in question by weight and in white sugar equivalent refined during the month preceding that in which the report is made,
2. By 31 July of each marketing year the Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission the quantity of raw sugar by weight intended for refining, in stock at the refineries on 1 July of that marketing year.

of 23 October 2008
establishing a prohibition of fishing for cod in VI; EC waters of Vb; EC and international waters of XII and XIV by vessels flying the flag of Ireland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 of 16 January 2008 fixing for 2008 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2008.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2008.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2008 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 745/2006
of 17 May 2006
fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in poultrymeat, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75.
(3) Article 8(3), second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the identification mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3).
(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For these two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the condition provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the identification marking requirements laid down in Annex II, Section I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 May 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (3) establishes a list of prices and amounts in the oils and fat sector which are divided by 1,001712 from the 1990/91 marketing year under the arrangements for the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 provides that the resulting reduction in particular in the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Council for the 1990/91 marketing year should be specified and the value of those reduced prices and amounts should be fixed;
Whereas for the 1990/91 marketing year the price of flax seed was fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1315/90 (4); whereas the aid for hemp seed was fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1316/90 (5);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The guide price for flax seed and the aid for hemp seed fixed in ecus by the Council for the 1990/91 marketing year and reduced pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 shall be:

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2201/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for oranges will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for oranges after 10 February 2003 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
Applications for system B export licences for oranges submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 10 February 2003 and before 16 March 2003, are hereby rejected.

80/372/EEC: Council Decision of 26 March 1980 concerning chlorofluorocarbons in the environment
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 26 March 1980 concerning chlorofluorocarbons in the environment (80/372/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, as stated in the resolution of the Council of the European Communities and of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, of 17 May 1977 on the continuation and implementation of a European Community policy and action programme on the environment (4), it is necessary to review continuously at Community level the impact of chemicals on the environment;
Whereas the Council resolution of 30 May 1978 on fluorocarbons in the environment (5) states that the problems of the effects of chlorofluorcarbons on the ozone layer and of ultraviolet radiation on health cannot be ingnored;
Whereas the Member States, in accordance with the terms of the resolution of 30 May 1978, adopted a common position on 6 December 1978 concerning chlorofluorocarbons in the environment, to be put to the International Conference on chlorofluorocarbons held in Munich from 6 to 8 December 1978 ; whereas that conference adopted certain recommendations, in particular recommendation III;
Whereas, in accordance with the common position of Member States of 6 December 1978 and in accordance with recommendation III of the Munich Conference, a significant reduction should, as a precautionary measure, be achieved in the next few years in the use of chlorofluorocarbons giving rise to emissions ; whereas such a reduction should be sought on the basis of a policy with particular reference to the use of chlorofluorocarbons in aerosols;
Whereas during the first half of 1980 the measures to be taken will be re-examined in the light of the scientific and economic data available and such further measures as may prove necessary in the light of this re-examination will be adopted as soon as possible and in any event no later than 30 June 1981;
Whereas, since the specific powers of action required to adopt this Decision have not been provided for in the Treaty, it is necessary to invoke Article 235 thereof,
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that industry situated in their territories does not increase its chlorofluorocarbon production capacity F-11 (CCl3F) and F-12 (CCl2F2).
2. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that not later than 31 December 1981 industry situated in their territories achieves a reduction of at least 30 % compared with 1976 levels in the use of these chlorofluorocarbons in the filling of aerosol cans.
In the course of the first half of 1980, the measures taken will be re-examined in the light of the scientific and economic data available. To this end, Member States shall, subject to considerations of commercial confidentiality, provide the Commission with the results of any study or research available to them. The Council shall adopt, as soon as possible and in any event no later than 30 June 1981, on a proposal from the Commission, such further measures as may be necessary in the light of this re-examination.
This Decision is adressed to the Member States.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2274/2003
of 22 December 2003
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for 2004 for manioc originating in Thailand
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV(6) negotiations(1), and in particular Article 1(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) During the World Trade Organisation multilateral trade negotiations, the Community undertook to open a tariff quota restricted to 21 million tonnes of products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 originating in Thailand per four-year period, with customs duty reduced to 6 %. This quota must be opened and administered by the Commission.
(2) It is necessary to keep an administration system which ensures that only products originating in Thailand may be imported under the quota. The issue of an import licence should therefore continue to be subject to the presentation of an export certificate issued by the Thai authorities, a specimen of which has been notified to the Commission.
(3) Since imports to the Community market of the products concerned have traditionally been administered on the basis of a calendar year, this system should be retained. A quota must therefore be opened for 2004.
(4) The import of products covered by CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 is subject to the presentation of an import licence in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 325/2003(3), and with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(4).
(5) In the light of past experience and taking into account that the Community concession provides for an overall quantity for four years with an annual maximum of 5500000 tonnes, it is advisable to maintain measures which, under certain conditions, either facilitate the release for free circulation of quantities of products exceeding those given in the import licences, or allow the difference between the figure given in the import licences and the smaller figure actually imported to be carried forward.
(6) In order to ensure the correct application of the agreement, a system of strict and systematic controls is needed that take account of the information given on the Thai export certificates and the Thai authorities' procedures for issuing export certificates.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
CHAPTER I OPENING OF THE QUOTA
1. An import tariff quota for 5500000 tonnes of manioc falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 originating in Thailand is hereby opened for the period 1 January to 31 December 2004.
The customs duty applicable is hereby fixed at 6 % ad valorem.
The serial number of the quota shall be 09.4008.
2. The products referred to in paragraph 1 shall benefit from the arrangements provided for in this Regulation on condition that they are imported under import licences issued subject to the submission of a certificate for export to the European Community issued by the Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, Government of Thailand, hereinafter referred to as an "export certificate".
CHAPTER II EXPORT CERTIFICATES
1. There shall be one original and at least one copy of the export certificate, to be made out on a form of which a specimen is given in the Annex.

2. Export certificates shall be completed in English.
3. The original and copies of export certificates shall be completed in typescript or in handwriting. In the latter case, they must be completed in ink and in block capitals.
4. Each export certificate shall bear a pre-printed serial number; in the upper section it shall also bear a certificate number. The copies shall bear the same numbers as the original.
1. Export certificates issued from 1 January to 31 December 2004 shall be valid for 120 days from the date of issue. The date of issue of the certificate shall be included in the period of validity of the certificate.
For the certificate to be valid, its different sections must be properly completed and duly authenticated in accordance with paragraph 2. In the "shipped weight" section, the quantity must be written out in full and also given in figures.
2. The export certificate shall be duly authenticated when it indicates the date of issue and bears the stamp of the issuing body and the signature of the authorised person or persons.
CHAPTER III IMPORT LICENCES
Applications for an import licence for products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 originating in Thailand, drawn up in accordance with Regulations (EC) No 1291/2000 and (EC) No 1342/2003, shall be submitted to the competent authorities in the Member States accompanied by the original of the export certificate.

It shall be forfeit in particular for quantities for which no additional import licence has been issued under Article 10, first subparagraph.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 77/2007
of 26 January 2007
fixing a percentage for acceptance of contracts concluded for the optional distillation of table wine
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (1), and in particular Article 63a(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 63a of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down the detailed rules for applying the arrangements for distilling wine as referred to in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 (2). This is optional, subsidised distillation intended to support the wine market and help ensure an uninterrupted supply to the potable alcohol sector. To that end, contracts are concluded between wine producers and distillers. These contracts were notified to the Commission by the Member States up to 15 January 2007.
(2) For the 2006/07 wine year, distillation was opened in the period 1 October to 23 December. The quantities of wine covered by distillation contracts notified to the Commission by the Member States exceed the limits imposed by available budget resources and the absorption capacity of the potable alcohol sector. A single percentage should therefore be fixed for acceptance of the quantities notified for distillation.
(3) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 63a(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000, the Member States are to approve distillation contracts within a period beginning on 30 January. This Regulation should therefore enter into force immediately,
The quantities of wine for which contracts were concluded and notified to the Commission under Article 63a(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 up to 15 January 2007 shall be accepted up to 86,99 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/758/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(3) and in particular Article 8(4),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 93/402/EEC of 10 June 1993 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from South American countries(4), as last amended by Decision 2003/658/EC(5), applies to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.
(2) The Commission was informed of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Argentina in the department of General José de San Martin in the province of Salta and Decision 2003/658/EC was taken to suspend the importation of boned and matured bovine meat from the departments of General José de San Martin, Rivadavia, Oran, Iruya, and Santa Victoria in the province of Salta and from the department of Ramón Lista in the province of Formosa.
(3) However, the Argentinean veterinary authorities have informed the Commission Services on 19 September 2003 that they have enlarged the area under restriction in order to prevent a further spread of the disease in other parts of Argentina, and to create a buffer zone along the borders with other countries.
(4) The new area put under restriction by the Argentinean veterinary authorities covers the departments of Matacos and Bermejo in the province of Formosa, the department of Almirante Brown in the province of Chaco and the department of Patiño in the province of Formosa.
(5) From the information requested from and provided by the Argentinean veterinary authorities, it is not possible to fully assess the situation in the concerned areas because it is not clear exactly what measures are applied to the animals in these territories and what are the results of the sampling being carried out.
(6) In view of this uncertainty and in order to safeguard the animal health situation in the European Community it is prudent to temporarily suspend importation of boned and matured bovine meat on a regional basis from the whole territory of the provinces of Formosa, Chaco and Salta and in addition the province of Jujuy because of its geographical position.
(7) However, in the absence of clear evidence of disease in these additional areas of Argentina, the importation into the Community of boned and matured bovine fresh meat for human consumption and boned meat and offal for petfood slaughtered, produced and certified before the 8 October 2003 should be permitted.
(8) Decision 93/402/EEC should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 93/402/EEC is amended as follows:
1. Annex I is replaced by the text in the Annex I to this Decision,
2. Annex II is replaced by the text in the Annex II to this Decision.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, with a view to permitting the movement of these products in Community territory, it is necessary first to ensure that the lots imported really are accompanied by the required guarantees;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 3 of Decision 91/146/EEC and Articles 2 of Decisions 91/281/EEC and 91/282/EEC are hereby replaced by the following Article:

Whereas, pursuant to Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/99/EEC, lists of establishments in third countries authorized for export of meat products to the Community must be established; whereas these establishments must satisfy the conditions laid down in the Annex to the said Directive;
Whereas Brazil has forwarded a list of the establishments authorized to export meat products to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have shown that the hygiene standards of certain of these stablishments are sufficient; whereas they may therefore be entered on an initial list, established pursuant to the said Article 17 (1), of establishments from which import of meat products may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Brazil has to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to Community requirements;
Whereas, in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of existing trade flows, these establishments may be authorized temporarily to continue their exports of meat products to those Member States prepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary, amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and of improvements made;
Whereas this Decision is based upon the existing Community rules applicable to imports from third countires; whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine this Decision if the aforesaid rules are to be modified;
Whereas, moreover, in accordance with Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/99/EEC, the provisions otherwise applied by the Member States concerning import of meat products from third countries may not be more favourable than those governing intra-Community trade; whereas, in this respect, import of meat products from the establishments appearing on the list in Annex to this Decision remains subject to other veterinary legislation, particularly as regards animal health requirements, and to the general provisions of the Treaty;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Member States may authorize import of meat products from Brazil only from the establishments listed in the Annex.
2. However, Member States may continue to authorize until 15 August 1987 imports of meat products coming from establishments which are not listed in the Annex but which have been officially approved and proposed by the Brazilian authorities as of 8 May 1986, unless a decision is taken to the contrary before 16 August 1987.
The Commission shall forward the list of these establishments to the Member States.
3. Imports coming from the establishments referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain subject to veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere, particularly as regards animal health requirements.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes bis(N-cyclohexyl-diazenium-dioxy)-copper (Cu-HDO).
(2) Cu-HDO has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 8 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 25 February 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 8 and containing Cu-HDO may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve Cu-HDO for use in biocidal products for product-type 8.
(7) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Bis(N-cyclohexyl-diazenium-dioxy)-copper (Cu-HDO) shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 8, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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 17,512/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

repealing Decision 2003/766/EC on emergency measures to prevent the spread within the Community of Diabrotica virgifera Le Conte
(notified under document C(2014) 467)
(2014/62/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2003/766/EC (2) has failed to prevent the spread of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte as appears from the yearly surveys carried out by the Member States pursuant to that Decision. Those surveys further show that Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte has now established in a large part of the Union territory. In addition, it is not feasible to block its further spread and effective and sustainable means of control minimising the impact of that organism on maize yield exist, in particular the implementation of a crop rotation scheme.
(2) Decision 2003/766/EC should therefore be repealed.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2003/766/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

93/676/EC: Commission Decision of 10 December 1993 establishing that the exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas does not constitute in the Netherlands an activity defined in Article 2 (2) (b) (i) of Council Directive 90/531/EEC and that entities carrying on such an activity are not to be considered in the Netherlands as operating under special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 2 (3) (b) of the Directive (Only the Dutch text is authentic)

COMMISSION DECISION of 10 December 1993 establishing that the exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas does not constitute in the Netherlands an activity defined in Article 2 (2) (b) (i) of Council Directive 90/531/EEC and that entities carrying on such an activity are not to be considered in the Netherlands as operating under special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 2 (3) (b) of the Directive (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (93/676/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/531/EEC of 17 September 1990 on the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (1), and in particular Articles 3 (4) and 32 (4) to (7) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Directive 90/531/EEC, Member States may request the Commission to provide that exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil, gas, coal or other solid fuels is not to be considered to be an activity defined in Article 2 (2) (b) (i) of the Directive and that entities are not to be considered as operating under special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 2 (3) (b) by virtue of carrying on one or more of these activities, provided that a number of precise conditions are satisfied with respect to the relevant national provisions concerning such activities and that any Member State requesting such a decision ensures that entities observe the principles of non-discrimination and competitive procurement in awarding contracts and communicates to the Commission information relating to the award of such contracts;
Whereas, by letter dated 7 February 1991 from their Ministry of Economic Affairs, confirmed by letter dated 10 April 1991 from the Office of their Permanent Representative to the European Communities, the Dutch authorities requested the Commission to provide that exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas should not be considered in the Netherlands to be an activity defined in Article 2 (2) (b) (i) of Directive 90/531/EEC and that entities carrying on such an activity are not to be considered in the Netherlands as operating under special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 2 (3) (b) of the Directive;
Whereas that request was accompanied by a copy of the laws and regulations in force;
Whereas, by letter of 24 October 1991, the Office of the Dutch Permanent Representative sent the Commission a statement of how the five criteria listed in Article 3 (1) could be satisfied with respect to those laws and regulations;
Whereas additional information and documentation on the regulations or administrative provisions in force was supplied, in accordance with Article 3 (4) of the Directive, in correspondence from the Ministry of Economic Affairs dated 8 April 1992 and from the Office of the Dutch Permanent Representative dated 20 July 1992 and 6 November 1992;
Whereas, as regards compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 3 (1) of the Directive, the Commission has carried out a detailed analysis of the rules in force in the Netherlands (the Law of 21 April 1810 on mines and quarries (Mijnwet 1810), as amended by the Mining Law of 1903 (Mijnwet 1903); the Laws of 20 June 1924 and 3 May 1967 on minerals exploration; the Law of 23 September 1965 on exploration for and extraction of minerals on the North Sea continental shelf (Mijnwet continentaalplat); the Decree of 27 January 1967 implementing Article 12 of the Mining Law and the Decree of 6 February 1976 implementing the same Article, as amended by the Decrees of 20 February 1986 and 4 July 1988; the Decrees of 31 March 1967 and 30 March 1976 implementing Article 3 of the Mining Law and the Decree of 9 November 1983 implementing the same Article, as amended by the Decree of 22 July 1988; the Decrees of 30 October 1968, 14 December 1971 and 15 October 1982 implementing Article 5 of the Mining Law; the Decree of 7 February 1967 governing applications for authorizations and exemptions under the Mining Law, as amended by the Decree of 13 February 1976; and documents containing additional information, used during the procedure for granting authorizations to engage in exploration or extraction (such as the 'Declaration of priority for geophysical exploration' (2)), and the information distributed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs for the seventh round of authorizations (Toewijzing 7e ronde Opsporingsvergunningen)). The findings of the analysis were communicated to the Dutch authorities by letter dated 9 October 1992, and by fax dated 1 December 1992, the main ones being set out below:
- as regards offshore exploration and extraction activities, the provisions of the Law of 23 September 1965 on the continental shelf satisfy the requirements of Article 3 (1) (a) relating to freedom of access; however, as far as onshore exploration or extraction activities are concerned, although the applicable legislation is broadly in line with the aims of Article 3 (1) (a), it is apparent from the declaration of priority for geophysical exploration, and in particular Articles 5 and 12 thereof, that firms which are members of NOGEPA (1) receive, if they make an application for authorization, preferential treatment incompatible with the abovementioned provision;
- with regard to offshore exploration and extraction activities, the Law on the continental shelf, and in particular Article 14 thereof, and Articles 5a and 6a of the Decree of 7 February 1967, including its two Annexes, are such as to satisfy the requirement laid down in Article 3 (1) (b) that the technical and financial capacity of candidates must be established in advance; as far as onshore activities are concerned, however, the nature of the financial and technical information that must be supplied in support of an application for authorization is specified neither in the Mining Law of 21 April 1810 nor in the Law of 3 May 1967 on minerals exploration, with the result that the requirements of Article 3 (1) (b) are not satisfied,
- only the provisions governing offshore exploration or extraction activities satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 3 (1) (c) relating to the prior establishment and publication of the criteria for assessing the way in which it is intended to carry out the exploration or extraction; on the other hand, neither the Mining Law of 21 April 1810 nor the Law of 3 May 1967 on minerals exploration gives any indication as to the criteria applied for onshore activities,
- with regard to the requirements laid down in Article 3 (1) (d) relating to the prior establishment and communication of the conditions for carrying out exploration or extraction, the provisions relating to offshore activities in force in the Netherlands were, in the light of further explanations given by the Dutch authorities, deemed satisfactory; however, although equivalent conditions apply in practice to authorizations for onshore exploitation, the corresponding provisions of the legislation do not satisfy the requirements of Article 3 (1) (d) since the conditions are not laid down in a binding general instrument which is published in advance,
- none of the general provisions examined lays down any obligation as referred to in Article 3 (1) (e) to provide information on sources of procurement;
Whereas, in response to the comments addressed to them and following a meeting with the Commission held on 4 December 1992, the Dutch authorities agreed in a letter from their Ministry of Economic Affairs dated 18 December 1992 to make the necessary adjustments and submitted to the Commission the text of the amendments they proposed to make to the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in question; whereas those adjustments were aimed at:
- reproducing the rules on the declaration of priority in a ministerial decree to be published in the Dutch Official Gazette to enable non-members of NOGEPA to obtain a declaration of priority under the same conditions as members,
- establishing, in a ministerial decree to be published in the Dutch Official Gazette, the requirements regarding technical and financial capacity to be met by entities applying for authorization to engage in onshore activities, such requirements being equivalent to those applied in the case of offshore activities,
- establishing, in a decree also to be published in the Dutch Official Gazette, the objective criteria on which authorizations to engage in onshore exploration or extraction are to be granted;
Whereas, to remedy the shortcomings identified by the Commission, the Dutch authorities communicated, in an annex to the abovementioned letter dated 18 December 1992 from their Ministry of Economic Affairs, the draft texts of two ministerial orders, one relating to the requirements regarding technical and financial capacity to be met by entities requesting authorization and the other to applications for a declaration of priority;
Whereas, by letter dated 24 February 1993, the Commission informed the Dutch authorities that the provisions of those two draft measures were such as to satisfy the requirements of Article 3 (1);
Whereas the two ministerial orders, one relating to the financial and technical conditions for obtaining authorization and for carrying on activities subject to such authorization and the other to applications for a declaration of priority, were adopted on 19 July 1993;
Whereas, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the Commission invited interested parties to comment on the Dutch rules and practices; whereas no reply alleging discrimination in the treatment of requests for authorization to carry out exploration or extraction has been received by the Commission;
Whereas, by the abovementioned letter dated 18 December 1992 from their Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Dutch authorities communicated the text of a draft Royal Decree transposing Article 3 (2) of Directive 90/531/EEC into Dutch law;
Whereas a Royal Decree transposing into Dutch law the provisions of Directive 90/531/EEC, with the exception of Article 3 thereof, was adopted on 6 April 1993;
Whereas a Royal Decree amending the Royal Decree cited in the preceding recital and transposing Article 3 (2) of Directive 90/531/EEC was adopted on 6 July 1993; whereas that Royal Decree guarantees compliance with the principles of non-discrimination and competitive procurement by entities carrying out exploration or extraction, in particular as regards the information they make available to enterprises concerning their intentions with respect to the award of contracts, and with the obligation to transmit to the Commission information on the award of such contracts;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (3) of the Directive, the said Royal Decree also refers to the obligations on entities holding authorizations to carry out exploration or extraction issued before 1 January 1993 as regards non-discrimination, competitive procurement and transmission to the Commission of information on the award of contracts;
Whereas, by letter dated 28 July 1993 from the Office of their Permanent Representative, the Dutch authorities communicated to the Commission the texts of the Royal Decree transposing Article 3 (2) of the Directive and of the two ministerial orders adopted with a view to bringing the Dutch rules on the granting of authorizations to carry out exploration or extraction into line with Article 3 (1) of the Directive;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 32 (4) to (7) of Directive 90/531/EEC, the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts met on 13 October 1993 to deliver its opinion on this Decision,
From 10 December 1993, the exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas shall not be considered in the Netherlands to be an activity defined in Article 2 (2) (b) (i) of Directive 90/531/EEC, and entities carrying on such an activity shall not be considered in the Netherlands as operating under special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 2 (3) (b) of the Directive.
This Decision is taken on the basis of the rules governing the exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas and applicable in the Netherlands on 10 December 1993.
1. Any laws, regulations or administrative provisions amending the rules applicable on 10 December 1993 to the exploitation of geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas in the Netherlands shall be communicated to the Commission as soon as they are adopted.
2. Whenever the Dutch authorities decide to grant authorizations to exploit geographical areas for the purpose of exploring for or extracting oil or gas, any documents laying down additional requirements for obtaining such authorization shall likewise be communicated to the Commission as soon as they are published, in so far as they differ substantially from documents published previously.
3. The information referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 is notified to the Commission in order to enable it to assess if it is appropriate to amend, withdraw or maintain this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

of 25 July 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 concerning the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) of 26 September 2002 (2) and in order to ensure that consumers receive adequate information when purchasing foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and phytostanol esters, Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 of 31 March 2004 concerning the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters (3) provides for mandatory particulars in addition to those listed in Article 3 of Directive 2000/13/EC on the labelling of such foods.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 provides that the labelling of such foods and food ingredients shall contain, amongst others, a statement that the product is intended exclusively for people who want to lower their blood cholesterol level. The purpose of this mandatory statement is to ensure that the product reaches its target group, and thus avoid unnecessary consumption by non-targeted groups.
(3) The voluntary inclusion of nutrition or health claims on food labels is governed by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (4). Accordingly, Commission Regulation (EC) No 983/2009 of 21 October 2009 on the authorisation and refusal of authorisation of certain health claims made on food and referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health (5), Commission Regulation (EU) No 384/2010 of 5 May 2010 on the authorisation and refusal of authorisation of certain health claims made on foods and referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health (6) and Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 of 16 May 2012 establishing a list of permitted health claims made on foods, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health (7) have authorised health claims relating to the reduction and maintenance of blood cholesterol with respect to foods containing plant sterols and plant stanols, subject to certain conditions of use.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 983/2009 authorised, under certain conditions of use, the following health claims: ‘Plant sterols have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease’ and ‘Plant stanol esters have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease’.
(5) Regulation (EU) No 384/2010 authorised, under certain conditions of use, the following health claim: ‘Plant sterols and plant stanol esters have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.’
(6) Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 authorised, under certain conditions of use, the following health claim: ‘Plant sterols/stanols contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels’.
(7) The wording of the authorised health claims in combination with the mandatory statement relating to the target group laid down in Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 could potentially lead consumers who do not need to control their blood cholesterol level to use the product. Therefore, with a view to ensure consistency of the information provided on the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters, it is appropriate to amend the mandatory statement laid down in Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 while ensuring that its wording serves adequately the informative purpose for which it was initially introduced.
(8) In order to enable food business operators to adapt the labelling of their products to the requirements introduced by this Regulation, it is important to provide for an appropriate transition period for the application of this Regulation.
(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 and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 608/2004
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 608/2004, point 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. there shall be a statement that the product is not intended for people who do not need to control their blood cholesterol level.’
Transitional measures
Food and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters placed on the market or labelled prior to 15 February 2014 which do not comply with the requirements of this Regulation may be marketed until the stocks of the foods are exhausted.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that reference prices valid for the EU may be fixed each year, by product category, for products that are the subject of a tariff suspension under Article 28(1). The same holds for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.

(3) The EU withdrawal prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2010 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1277/2009 (2).
(4) Pursuant to Article 29(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation is to be established in particular on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the three years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.
(5) There is no need to fix reference prices for those products falling under the criteria laid down in Art. 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 which are imported from third countries in insignificant volumes.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The reference prices for the 2010 fishing year of fishery products, as referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of bluetongue (ovine catarrhal fever) occurred in Italy in 2001 and 2002. The emergence of this disease presented a serious risk for the Community's livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2003/677/EC of 24 September 2003 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the eradication of bluetongue disease in Italy in 2001 and 2002 (2) granted a financial contribution from the Community to Italy towards the expenditure incurred under the emergency measures to combat bluetongue disease implemented in 2001 and 2002.
(4) In accordance with that Decision, a first instalment of EUR 4 000 000 was granted.
(5) Pursuant to that Decision, the balance of the Community contribution is to be based on the application submitted by Italy on 19 December 2003, supporting documents and the results of the on the spot inspections carried out by the Commission. The amount set out in the application submitted by Italy was EUR 24 515 016 for which the Community financial contribution may not be higher than 50 % of the total eligible expenditure.
(6) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of bluetongue disease in Italy in 2001 and 2002 should now be fixed.
(7) The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial support mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.
(8) The Commission’s observations, final conclusions and method of calculating the eligible expenditure were communicated to Italy on 17 March 2006.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating bluetongue disease in Italy in 2001 and 2002 pursuant to Decision 2003/677/EC is fixed at EUR 7 358 839.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 982/2002
of 7 June 2002
laying down the marketing standards for cultivated mushrooms
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 2(2),
Whereas:
(1) Cultivated mushrooms are among the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must be adopted. To that end, and in the interest of preserving transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard for cultivated mushrooms recommended by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
(2) Application of these standards should remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring production into line with consumer requirements and facilitate trade based on fair competition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(3) The standards are applicable at all marketing stages. Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period and the various processes the products undergo may cause some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the products or their perishable nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages following dispatch.
(4) As products in the "Extra" class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness and turgidity is to be taken into account in their case.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for cultivated mushrooms of genus Agaricus falling within CN code 0709 51 00 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all marketing stages under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show, in relation to the requirements of the standard, a slight lack of freshness and turgidity; products graded in classes other than the "Extra" class may show in addition slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 6 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands (1) provides for the gradual introduction of the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) over a transitional period not extending beyond 31 December 2000; whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of the same Regulation the common commercial policy will apply to the Canary Islands, without prejudice to the specific measures referred to in Article 6 (3) thereof;
Whereas paragraph 7.2 of the Annex to Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican) (2) states that specific tariff measures must continue to be considered; whereas in principle they must be limited to the transitional period provided for under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 for the gradual adoption of the Common Customs Tariff to the Canary Islands;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92 of 15 June 1992 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of certain industrial products into the Canary Islands (3) totally suspended until 31 December 1995 CCT duties applicable to imports into the Canary Islands of the products listed in the Annex to the Regulation which are intended for the Canary Islands' domestic market;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92, the Commission has during 1995 examined the effect of measures adopted in favour of the economy of the Canary Islands; whereas on that basis it intends to submit to the Council a proposal for a series of measures for the period after 31 December 1995;
Whereas because of that circumstance the Council is not in a position to act on the said proposal before the expiry of Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92; whereas that Regulation should therefore be extended to 31 March 1996,
In Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92, the date '31 December 1995' shall be replaced by that of '31 March 1996'.
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 January 1996.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (1), and in particular Article 91 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (2), and in particular Article 155 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 of 27 March 2007 laying down rules for voluntary modulation of direct payments provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 (3), and in particular Article 6(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 provides that Member States where at the entry into force of that Regulation the system of additional reductions of direct payments referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 of 22 September 2004 laying down rules for the transition from the optional modulation system established by Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 to the mandatory modulation system established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 is applied (4), or which were granted a derogation by virtue of Article 70(4)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 from the requirement to co-finance Community support, may apply a reduction, referred to as ‘voluntary modulation’, to all the amounts of direct payments within the meaning of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 to be granted in their territory in a given calendar year within the meaning of Article 2(e) of that Regulation, during the period 2007 to 2012.
(2) The net amounts resulting from the application of voluntary modulation are available in the Member State where they were generated as Community support for measures under rural development programming and are therefore allocated to financing rural development programmes in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 and its implementing Regulations, in particular Commission Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 of 15 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (5).
(3) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006, in accordance with which the content of the rural development programmes referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 is established, contains, in part A, point 6, a financing plan comprising two tables which have to be revised to allow Member States which are applying voluntary modulation to include in them an indication of the relative amounts.
(4) The voluntary modulation system introduced by Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 replaces the rules laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004, which should therefore be repealed.
(5) It is, however, necessary to continue making possible the use of the amounts withheld in accordance with the voluntary modulation scheme previously set up by Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy (6).
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Rural Development Committee, the Management Committee for Direct Payments and the Agricultural Funds Committee,
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006, part A is amended as follows:
1. The table in point 6,1 is replaced by the table in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The text of the footnote to the heading of the table in point 6,2 is replaced by the following:
‘(1) In so far as the rural development programmes cover different types of regions and the EAFRD co-financing rates are differentiated, table 6,2 needs to be repeated for each type of region and for the amounts resulting from voluntary modulation: Convergence Objective regions, Outermost regions and smaller Aegean Islands, other regions, amounts resulting from voluntary modulation.’
Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 is repealed.
However, Member States shall continue to apply Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 to the use of the amounts withheld in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 24 July 1989
introducing Community measures to set up pilot projects for the control of rabies with a view to its eradication or prevention
(89/455/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the continued presence of rabies in certain areas of the Community involves a risk of propagation which constitutes a danger for Community livestock, likely to jeopardize the profitability of stockfarming, and a threat to human health;
Whereas the continued presence of rabies may create barriers to trade between Member States in live animals as a result of the introduction of measures to control animal movements;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to encourage the setting up of large scale pilot projects for the control of rabies with a view to its eradication or prevention and to that end to provide for Community financial aid;
Whereas it is necessary for facilities to be provided for the planning and the examination of the results of such pilot projects, particularly in cross-border areas; whereas it is necessary to involve national voluntary organizations in these projects for their contribution to the preservation and conservation of flora and fauna in the Member States;
Whereas it is also necessary to establish a cooperation procedure between the Member States and the Commission for implementing the plans for pilot projects,
A Community measure is hereby established to set up large-scale pilot projects for the eradication or prevention of rabies in the wild life of the Community using vaccines for the oral immunization of foxes.
Rabies shall be a compulsorily notifiable disease in all species.
For the purposes of the application of this Decision, the Member States referred to in Article 4 (1) shall set up, under the conditions laid down therein, large-scale pilot projects for the oral immunization of foxes.
The minimum area for national or cross-border pilot projects shall be 6 000 km2 or the total national area of the Member State where the presence of rabies has been established. Priority shall be given to projects which provide for cross-border cooperation. A pilot project may include adjacent areas of a third country.
The pilot projects shall be set up taking into account natural and administrative boundaries, the prevalence of rabies as well as the epidemiological situation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 1;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas the Council Directive of 26 June 1964 2 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat entered into force on 30 June 1965;
Whereas that Directive constitutes the first stage of a harmonisation designed to eliminate obstacles to trade arising from differences between the veterinary provisions of Member States, in particular as regards meat hygiene;
Whereas the incorporation of that Directive in the laws of each Member State has shown that its provisions should be adapted in the light of new technical and scientific data and the experience gained;
Whereas, therefore, certain amendments must be made to the original text as soon as possible, but without detriment to the basic standards and principles of the system instituted by that Directive;
Whereas, in the light of the experience gained, some of the definitions contained in that Directive should be amplified;
Whereas it must be specified that the reasons for prohibiting the marketing of meat must be stated at the time of the health inspection carried out in the country of destination, in particular to enable the powers of the veterinary expert responsible for delivering an opinion for the consignor to be defined;
Whereas it should be expressly stated that in trade in fresh meat not intended for human consumption, national provisions shall remain in force until such time as Community regulations are adopted;
Whereas the provisions on slaughterhouse hygiene must be maintained but the requirement that in slaughterhouses special places be provided where certain specific species of animal are not slaughtered can be withdrawn;
Whereas experience has shown that stamping requirements should be amended as regards small cuts of meat and offal and that the use of violet colouring matters in addition to methyl violet should be authorised for stamping meat;
The Council Directive of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat shall be amended as indicated in the following Articles.
1. Article 2 (a) shall read as follows:

Pieces of solid outer fat from which the rind has been removed shall be put together in lots of five pieces sealed under official supervision and labelled in accordance with 32."
4. The first paragraph of Chapter VII (32) of Annex I shall read as follows:

98/636/ECSC: Commission Decision of 3 June 1998 on financial measures by Spain in respect of the coal industry in 1997 [notified under document number C(1998) 2044] (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 3 June 1998 on financial measures by Spain in respect of the coal industry in 1997 (notified under document number C(1998) 2044) (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (98/636/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1), and in particular Article 2(1) and Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
I
By letter of 25 March 1997 Spain notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 9(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, of the financial measures which it intended to take in respect of the coal industry in 1997.
By letters of 4 September 1997, 20 February 1998 and 31 March 1998, Spain also provided the additional information requested by the Commission in its letters of 23 April 1997 and 24 October 1997.
Pursuant to Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission must rule on the following financial measures relating to 1997:
(a) aid of ESP 130 738 million to cover operating losses by coal undertakings;
(b) aid of ESP 51 244 million to cover exceptional welfare aid paid to workers who lose their jobs as a result of the measures to modernise, rationalise, restructure and reduce the activity of the coal industry;
(c) aid of ESP 9 113 million to cover the technical costs of closing down mining installations as a result of the measures to modernise, rationalise, restructure and reduce the activity of the coal industry.
The financial measures proposed by Spain for the coal industry fall within the provisions of Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and must be approved by the Commission, in accordance with Article 9, on the basis, in particular, of the general criteria and objectives laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria established by Articles 3 and 4 of that Decision. In accordance with Article 9(6) of that Decision, the Commission must assess whether the measures are in conformity with the 1994 to 1997 phase of the plans to modernise, rationalise, restructure and reduce the activity of the Spanish coal industry, as provided for in Decision 94/1072/ECSC (2).
II
The aid of ESP 130 738 million consists of ESP 116 877 million intended to compensate in full or in part for operating losses suffered by coal producers and ESP 13 861 million to help with marketing coal.
The aid of ESP 116 877 million to cover operating losses subdivides into operating aid of ESP 47 347 million pursuant to Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and aid of ESP 69 530 million to reduce activity pursuant to Article 4 thereof.
Of the operating aid of ESP 47 347 million for coal production totalling 14,6 million tonnes, ESP 46 347 million will be covered by the specific costs included in the payments for the activities of the national electricity system, while the remaining ESP l 000 million will be charged to the public budgets.
Spain proposed to the Commission that part of the aid to the coal industry for 1997 be entered in mechanisms considered strictly equivalent to entry in the public budgets, as provided for by Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. This mechanism would consist in inserting a clause into Law 12/1996 of 30 December 1996 on the general State budgets for 1997 (3) stipulating that the specific costs associated with coal mining will be included in the electricity tariff and setting a value of 4,864 % of the amount invoiced by the electricity distributors. The Commission considers that entry of the aid in the public budgets offers better guarantees of transparency and notes Spain's undertaking to amend accordingly the mechanisms proposed as strictly equivalent and applied in 1997.
The Spanish coal producers which receive operating aid must reduce their production costs by 2 % per year, at constant prices, which will contribute to a trend towards a reduction in production costs at 1992 prices, as provided for by Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. This reduction, although not very sharp, is in line with the objective of degression of aid. A sharper reduction would endanger the survival of the undertakings, which would have grave social consequences since the mines are in isolated, economically backward regions.
The inclusion of those measures in the 1994 to 1997 phase of the modernisation, rationalisation, restructuring and activity-reduction plan approved by the Commission meets the objectives of the first and second indents of Article 2(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, namely to help to solve the social and regional problems created by developments in the coal industry in a context of further progress towards economic viability with the aim of degression of aid.
Of the aid of ESP 69 530 million to reduce activity, pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, ESP 20 235 million will be covered by the specific costs charged to the national electricity system, while ESP 49 295 million will be borne by the public budgets.
The aid totalling ESP 49 295 million from the general State budget is intended for Hunosa, Minas de Figaredo SA and Mina de la Camocha SA, all of which lie in the central Asturian coalfield, for a production of 2,43 million tonnes of coal. In the case of Hunosa and Minas de Figaredo, this aid will be paid via the public-sector shareholder in the undertakings, the Agencia Industrial del Estado (AIE), of which the revenue and expenditure estimates have been entered in the general State budgets for 1997. In 1997 those undertakings cut production by 7,6 % compared with 1996, in keeping with the principle of progressive and continuous activity reduction provided for in Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
The remaining ESP 20 235 million covered by the specific costs charged to the national electricity system is intended for the same undertakings and for others in the coalfields in north-west, north-east and southern Spain, which must close before Decision No 3632/93/ECSC expires.
This aid will help to solve the social and regional problems created by developments in the coal industry. It forms part of a closure plan and is therefore in line with the provisions of Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
Spain authorised a premium of 10 % on world market prices to support the marketing of Community coal in 1997. This measure constitutes support by public authorities linked to marketing of coal which gives an economic advantage to coal undertakings by reducing the costs which they would normally have to bear. This support totals ESP 13 861 million. It constitutes aid pursuant to Article 1(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
The measure is justified by the need for a gradual transition from the old system of regulated prices to prices freely agreed in the light of the conditions prevailing on the world market.
In view of the gradual reduction of this premium from 25 % in 1994 to 17 % in 1995, 14 % in 1996 and 10 % in 1997 and of its complete disappearance with effect from l January 1998, this marketing aid scheme can be considered Community aid and, as such, compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
The Commission notes Spain's undertaking to take the necessary measures to ensure that by 31 December 1997 at the latest the selling price of Spanish coal will be agreed freely between the contracting parties, in the light of conditions on the world market.
In its notification, Spain confirmed that the aid to be granted will not exceed, for each undertaking or production unit, the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenue.
The amount of aid notified by Spain for 1997 is 1,5 % lower than the aid approved by the Commission for 1996, after comparison with selling prices, taking account of conditions on the world market. Spain has notified the Commission that this will be reduced by 4 % per year from 1998 onwards.
In view of the above and on the basis of the information provided by Spain, this aid is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
III
The aid of ESP 51 244 million which Spain proposes to grant will cover compensation for those of the 7 300 workers in Spanish coal undertakings who have to take early retirement or who lose their jobs under the 1994 to 1997 modernisation, rationalisation, restructuring and activity reduction plan for the Spanish coal industry and for early retirement, outside the statutory system, for workers who lost their jobs as a result of the restructuring before 31 December 1993.
Part of this aid, amounting to ESP 33 316 million, is to be granted to Hunosa, Minas de Figaredo SA and Mina de la Camocha SA and will be charged to the general State budgets. The payments to Hunosa and Minas de Figaredo will be made via the AIE.
The remaining ESP 17 928 million of aid are intended for the other undertakings affected by modernisation, rationalisation, restructuring or activity reduction measures and will be covered by the specific costs charged to the national electricity system.
Those financial measures relate to action necessitated by the modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring of the Spanish coal industry and cannot therefore be considered to be related to current production (inherited liabilities).
Pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid mentioned explicitly in the Annex to the Decision, namely the cost of paying social-welfare benefits resulting from the pensioning-off of workers before they reach statutory retirement age and other exceptional expenditure on workers who lose their jobs as a result of restructuring and rationalisation, may be considered compatible with the common market, provided that the amount paid does not exceed such costs.
The Commission notes Spain's undertaking to enter this aid in the public budgets with effect from l January 1998.
In view of the above and on the basis of the information provided by Spain, this aid is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
IV
The aid of ESP 9 113 million which Spain proposes to grant is intended to cover part of the loss of value of the fixed assets of coal undertakings which have to close down totally or partially, and other exceptional costs resulting from the progressive closures under the 1994 to 1997 modernisation, rationalisation, restructuring and activity reduction plan for the Spanish coal industry.
Part of this aid, totalling ESP 5 538 million, is to be granted to Hunosa and Minas de Figaredo SA and will be covered by the general State budget via the AIE. The remaining ESP 3 575 million of aid are intended for the other undertakings restructuring or reducing their activity and will be covered by the specific costs charged to the national electricity system.
These financial measures relate to obligations imposed by the modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring of the Spanish coal industry and cannot therefore be considered to be related to current production (inherited liabilities).
Pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid mentioned explicitly in the Annex to the Decision, namely exceptional intrinsic depreciation, may, provided that it results from the restructuring of the industry (without taking account of any revaluation which has occurred since l January 1986 and which exceeds the rate of inflation) and other additional work and residual costs arising from closures of installations, be considered compatible with the common market on condition that the amount paid does not exceed such costs.
The Commission notes Spain's undertaking to enter this aid in the public budgets with effect from 1 January 1998.
In view of the above and on the basis of the information provided by Spain, this aid is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
V
Spain will ensure that the aid granted under this Decision gives rise to no discrimination between producers, purchasers and users on the Community coal market.
In view of the above and on the basis of the information provided by Spain, this aid is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
In accordance with the second indent of Article 3(1) and with Article 9(2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission must verify that the aid authorised relates solely to the purposes set out in Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amounts involved and the distribution of payments,
Spain is hereby authorised to pay the following aid in respect of 1997:
(a) operating aid of ESP 47 347 million pursuant to Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC;
(b) aid for the reduction of activity of ESP 69 530 million pursuant to Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC;
(c) aid of ESP 51 244 million to cover exceptional welfare aid paid to workers who lose their jobs as a result of the measures to modernise, rationalise, restructure and reduce the activity of the Spanish coal industry, pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC;
(d) aid of ESP 9 113 million to cover the exceptional technical costs of closing down mining installations as a result of the measures to modernise, rationalise, restructure and reduce the activity of the Spanish coal industry, pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
In accordance with Article 86 of the ECSC Treaty, Spain shall adopt all appropriate measures, whether general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising under this Decision. It shall ensure that the aid authorised is used exclusively for the purposes intended and that any unspent, overestimated or incorrectly used aid for any item covered by this Decision is repaid to it.
Spain shall notify the Commission, by 30 September 1998 at the latest, of the amount of aid actually paid in respect of 1997.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
