Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1) and in particular Protocol 1 thereto,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3606/89 of 20 November 1989 establishing ceilings and Community supervision for imports of certain products originating in Yugoslavia (1990) (2);

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 a new use of a preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a new use of a preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) as a feed additive for minor poultry species for fattening and for chickens reared for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 237/2012 (2).
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concludes in its opinion of 18 June 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and it has the potential to be efficacious on chickens reared for laying and that can be extrapolated to minor poultry species for fattening. 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.
(6) The assessment of the preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) 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 ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1768/2006
of 30 November 2006
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
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,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 December 1994 on the approval of the Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Centre concerned by Objective 2 in France (Only the French text is authentic) (94/1060/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 28 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Centre; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas Article 20 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 provides, subject to available funding, for a single commitment where the Community assistance granted is less than ECU 40 million for the whole programmation period;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Centre concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in France;
the main priorities are:
1. strengthen the competitivity of enterprise;
2. develop training and research;
3. support local development;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the financial implementation provisions,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 24,2 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 84 million for the public sector may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 20,507 million,
- ESF:ECU 3,693 million.
2. The budgetary commitments at the moment of approval of the Single Programming Document refer to the total Community assistance.
3. The financial contribution will be suspended after the payment of the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 until such time as the Commission has verified the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52, 59, 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1556/2002
of 30 August 2002
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 42,698/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(notified under document C(2009) 6303)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/616/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), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6.
(3) For petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 21(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 the rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted in March 2008.
(4) The Commission examined petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 in accordance with Article 24(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 12 March 2009 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 by the Committee, it was concluded, taking into account comments received from Member States, that it has to be considered that there are clear indications that it may be expected that that active substance has harmful effects on human health and in particular on consumers and operators, because the existing evidence is not sufficient to allow the establishment of an ADI, ARfD and an AOEL.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of Petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forwards by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing Petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 satisfies in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 remain available to users for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 are withdrawn by 17 February 2010;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing petroleum oil CAS 92062-35-6 are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
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 shall expire on 17 February 2011 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in the United States of America and Russia and repealing the anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in Russia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 9 and 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. MEASURES IN FORCE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel (‘GOES’) originating in the United States of America (‘USA’) and Russia (the ‘definitive Regulation’).
(2) By Decision 2005/622/EC (3), the Commission accepted price undertakings offered by two cooperating exporting producers whose exports to the Community of GOES are subject to a company-specific duty of 31,5 % (AK Steel Corporation, USA) and 11,5 % (Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Corporation (‘NLMK’), Russia). The anti-dumping duties applicable to imports from all other companies, except Viz Stal, Russia, which is subject to a duty of 0 %, are 37,8 % for the USA and 11,5 % for Russia.
B. REQUEST FOR REVIEW
(3) The Commission was notified in early 2007 that NLMK had acquired 100 % of Viz Stal. Evidence was provided regarding the production, sales and distribution of GOES under the new corporate structure. As a consequence, the circumstances on the basis of which the measures were established appeared to have changed in a lasting way and the dumping margin under the new corporate structure appeared to be significantly different as compared to the level of the measures in force.
(4) Having determined that there was sufficient prima facie evidence that the individual duties in force for NLMK and Viz Stal were no longer appropriate, and after consulting the Advisory Committee, the Commission initiated ex officio, by a notice (‘notice of initiation’) published in the Official Journal of the European Union, a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation (4). The investigation was limited to the examination of the level of dumping for the two Russian exporting producers NLMK and Viz Stal in order to calculate one single measure for the new joint company. As stated in the notice of initiation, this examination would be made on the basis of data collected during the investigation that led to the imposition of the existing measures.
C. PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW
(5) The product under review is grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel, of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, currently classifiable within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (of a width of 600 mm or more) and ex 7226 11 00 (of a width of less than 600 mm).
(6) GOES are produced from hot-rolled coils of silicon-alloyed steel of different thicknesses of which the particular grain structure is uniformly directed in order to allow for magnetic conductivity with a high degree of efficiency. Inefficiency with regard to this magnetic conductivity is called ‘core loss’, which is the prime indicator of the quality of the product.
(7) The market is typically divided into high conductivity or high permeability grades and regular grades. The high permeability grades allow lower core losses to be achieved for any given thickness of the sheets. Such characteristics are especially relevant for industrial producers of electrical power transformers.
D. INVESTIGATION
(8) The Commission advised the Community producers of GOES, all known Community importers and users as well as all known exporting producers in the USA and Russia of the initiation of the review.
(9) The Commission requested information from all the abovementioned parties and from the other parties who made themselves known within the time limit set in the notice of initiation of the investigation. The Commission also gave the interested parties the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
E. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Determination of dumping
(10) As stated above, the calculation of the dumping margin for the merged entity was based on the data collected during the investigation period of the investigation that led to the imposition of the existing measures (‘the original investigation period’). On this basis, a weighted average of the dumping margins established for NLMK and Viz Stal results in a dumping margin of 0,7 % for the new merged entity.
2. Lasting nature of changed circumstances
(11) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be said to be of a lasting nature. In this regard, the new company, OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, cooperated in the investigation and provided relevant information. With regard to the product flow of this company’s exports to the Community, cooperation was also obtained from the following unrelated companies:
— Tuscany Intertrade UK, Edinburgh, United Kingdom,
— Moorfield Commodities Company, Lugano, Switzerland.
(12) Formerly, NLMK exported to the Community via its related company Stinol AG (Switzerland). However, it was found that, since the beginning of 2006, all sales by NLMK to the Community have been made via the independent traders Tuscany Intertrade UK and Moorfield Commodities Company. Stinol AG has been a dormant company since the end of 2005.
(13) Viz Stal was formerly part of the Duferco group and exported via Duferco subsidiaries such as Duferco SA Switzerland and Duferco Commerciale Italy. Since May 2006, all of Viz Stal’s sales to the Community have been made via the independent trader Moorfield Commodities Company.
(14) It was also verified that, since its establishment, the new entity, OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, as regards its imports into the Community, has only sold via these two traders thereby continuing to use the same sales channels for sales of GOES to the Community market.
(15) In regard to import prices from the two former companies, NLMK and Viz Stal, following the acceptance of a price undertaking in August 2005, NLMK submitted all relevant monitoring information, as required by the terms of the undertaking, to the Commission on a quarterly basis. Following the takeover by NLMK, Viz Stal has voluntarily reported its sales since August 2006 under the framework of the undertaking. It was verified that the current price undertaking for the former NLMK was respected by both the former NLMK and Viz Stal companies.
(16) It was found, in fact, that the prices at which Viz Stal, whose products are subject to 0 % anti-dumping duty, has sold GOES on the Community market since August 2006 were higher than those at which the company had sold during the original investigation period. It was also noted that Viz Stal accounted for the bulk of sales of both companies during the original investigation period, and continued to export significantly greater quantities of GOES to the EC than NLMK.
(17) Since the existing measures were imposed in August 2005, Community and world market prices have increased significantly. With continuing high world demand for steel products, it is not expected that market prices for GOES will fall in the short- to medium-term. In light of this fact, as well as the fact that Viz Stal (which continued in 2006 to account for significantly greater sales quantities of GOES to the EC than NLMK and was found not to be dumping during the original investigation) has increased its prices since August 2006, it is considered that the findings in recital (10) above are of a lasting nature.
F. CONCLUSION
(18) It was found in the original investigation that NLMK and Viz Stal accounted for the entirety of known imports of GOES into the Community from Russia (5). It was also found that OJSC Novolipetsk Steel continues to account for all exports of GOES from Russia to the Community. In light of this, as well as the fact that the dumping margin for OJSC Novolipetsk Steel is at a de minimis level, it is concluded that the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of GOES from Russia should be repealed and the proceeding terminated in accordance with Article 9(3) of the basic Regulation.
(19) In light of this conclusion, the Commission decided by Decision 2008/384/EC (6) that the undertaking accepted from NLMK by Decision 2005/622/EC should be repealed.
G. DISCLOSURE
(20) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to repeal the measures concerning imports of GOES from Russia and to terminate the proceeding. All parties were given an opportunity to comment. The comments received were not of a nature to change the conclusions.
(21) Following disclosure, the Community industry claimed that it has not been substantiated that, as mentioned in recital (17) above, market prices for GOES will not fall in the short- to medium-term and, as a result, the termination of the proceeding is not warranted. In support of its claim that the proceeding should not be terminated, the Community industry states that during the next two years, world capacities for the production of GOES will be expanded by more than 40 % and will significantly exceed demand. The bulk of these capacity increases will occur in the People’s Republic of China. In these circumstances, the Community industry considers that Russia will be pushed away from the Chinese market and will redirect its exports to the European Union (‘EU’). In light of the above, the Community industry considers that the termination of the proceeding is not based on changed circumstances of a lasting nature.
(22) It is noted, however, that the current investigation has examined the dumping margin for the new merged entity. This has been found to be at a de minimis level as described in recitals (10) and (18) above. As stated in recital (11) above, an examination has been made as to whether or not this dumping margin, as well as the new structure of the company, can be considered to be of a lasting nature. The investigation has confirmed the lasting nature of these changed circumstances. The fact that Russian exporters might export additional quantities to the EU in the coming years does not alter the conclusion regarding the lasting nature of these changed circumstances,
Articles 1(1) and 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 shall be replaced by the following:
‘1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, originating in the United States of America, falling within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (products of a width of 600 mm or more) (TARIC code 7225110010) and ex 7226 11 00 (products of a width of less than 600 mm) (TARIC codes 7226110011 and 7226110091).
2. The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable, before duty, to the net free-at-Community-frontier price of the products described in paragraph 1 and manufactured by the companies below shall be as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animal and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
(1) Whereas following information on contamination on poultry products with dioxin the Commission adopted Decision 1999/363/EC(4); whereas this Decision establishes, in particular, that the Belgian authorities shall investigate possible distribution of contaminated feedingstuffs with dioxins to other farm animals and inform without delay the Commission and other Member States and concerned third countries of the results of such investigation;
(2) Whereas, on 2 June 1999, the Belgian authorities informed the Commission that they had placed under restriction approximately 500 pig holdings which may have received contaminated feedingstuff; whereas, on 3 June 1999, they also informed the Commission that contaminated feedingstuffs had been distributed to a number of bovine holdings as well;
(3) Whereas the body of toxicological and epidemiological evidence today have led the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organisation (WHO) to consider TCDD a class 1 carcinogen (highest class in IARC ranking);
(4) Whereas, in the light of the above, it is necessary to take similar measures as those laid down by Decision 1999/363/EC to protect consumers from risks associated to products derived from pigs and bovine animals; whereas, however, the Belgian authorities have not yet taken action on pigs and bovine animals and derived products similar to those applied in the case of poultry; whereas it is therefore not appropriate to set and end-date for the application of measures in respect of pigs and bovine animals and products derived therefrom; whereas, consequently, these measures should apply to pigs and bovine animals reared in Belgium starting from 15 January 1999, and products derived therefrom; whereas these measures should not apply to products derived from animals which have not been reared in holdings place under restrictions by the Belgian authorities or which are not contaminated by dioxins following the results of analysis;
(5) Whereas the Commission may, in collaboration with the Member State concerned, pending the meeting of the Standing Veterinary Committee, take safeguard measures with regards to live animals and products of animal origin originating in that Member State,
1. A. Belgium shall prohibit the placing on the market, including distribution to the final consumer, the trade and the export to third countries, of all the following products intended for human or animal consumption derived from pigs and bovine animals, which were reared in Belgium starting from 15 January 1999:
- fresh meat, as defined by Council Directive 64/433/EEC(5),
- mechanically recovered meat,
- minced meat and meat preparation, as defined by Council Directive 94/65/ECAST,

Commission Directive 2000/67/EC
of 23 October 2000
including an active substance (esfenvalerate) in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market
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 2000/10/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) and the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), laid down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter referred to as "the Directive"). Pursuant to that Regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), laid down the list of active substances of plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.
(2) In accordance with Article 5(1) of the Directive, an active substance should be included in Annex I if it may be expected that neither the use of, nor residues from, plant protection products containing that active substance will have any harmful effects on human or animal health or on groundwatr or any unacceptable influence on the environment.
(3) Such an active substance may be included in Annex I for a period not exceeding 10 years.
(4) For esfenvalerate the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Portugal was designated as rapporteur Member State under Regulation (EC) No 933/94 laying down the active substance of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92. It submitted the relevant assessment report to the Commission on 11 October 1996, in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(5) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. This review was finalised on 13 July 2000 in the format of the Commission review report for esfenvalerate.
(6) The dossier and the information from the review have also been submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants for consultation. The Scientific Committee for Plants in its opinion(7) noted that Member States must apply appropriate risk mitigation measures to protect the aquatic environment and non-target arthropods.
(7) It has appeared from the assessments made that plant protection products containing the active substance concerned may be expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Directive, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined. It is appropriate therefore to include the active substance concerned in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the granting, varying or withdrawing, as appropriate, of the authorisations of plant protection products containing esfenvalerate can be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Directive.
(8) Article 8(2) of the Directive provides that after inclusion of an active substance in its Annex I, Member States shall, within a prescribed period, grant, vary or withdraw, as appropriate, the authorisations of the plant protection products containing the active substance. In particular, Articles 4(1) and 13(1) of the Directive require that plant protection products are not authorised unless account is taken of the conditions associated with the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI on the basis of a dossier satisfying the data requirements laid down in its Article 13.
(9) Before inclusion, a reasonable deadline is necessary to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion. Moreover, after inclusion, a reasonable period is necessary for the Member States to implement the Directive and in particular to vary or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations or grant new authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive. For plant protection products containing several active substances, the complete evaluation on the basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out when all the active substances concerned have been included in Annex I to the Directive.
(10) It is appropriate to provide that the finalised review report (except for confidential information in the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) is kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(11) The review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive, where these principles refer to the evaluation of the Annex II data which were submitted for the purpose of the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I to the Directive.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Esfenvalerate is hereby designated as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, at the latest by 31 January 2002 and shall immediately inform the Commission thereof. In particular they shall, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing esfenvalerate as an active substance within such period.
2. However, with regard to evaluation and decision-making pursuant to the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto, the period laid down in the first paragraph is extended:
- for plant protection products containing esfenvalerate as the only active substance, to four years from the entry into force of this Directive,
- for plant protection products containing esfenvalerate together with another active substance which is in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, to four years from the entry into force of such Directive as shall include the last of those substances in Annex I.
3. Member States shall keep available the review report (except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
4. When Member States adopt the provisions referred to in paragraph 1, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 August 2001.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, in order to take account of existing import arrangements in the pigmeat sector and those resulting from the Agricultural Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of exemption from the import duty for certain pigmeat products from the ACP States and the OCT;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 904/90 of 10 April 1990 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1592/95 (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of preferential conditions in the form of a reduction in the import levy for pigmeat quotas; whereas, since the levies are being replaced by customs duties from 1 July 1995, transitional adjustments to these rules have been made;
Whereas the period for the adoption of transitional measures was extended until 30 June 1997 by Council Regulation (EC) No 1193/96 of 26 June 1996 extending the period for the adoption of the transitional measures required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (4); whereas the adjustments should be extended over the period concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/15/EC of 31 May 1995 adapting Council Directive 89/647/EEC on a solvency ratio for credit institutions, as regards the technical definition of 'Zone A` and in respect of the weighting of asset items constituting claims carrying the explicit guarantee of the European Communities (Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/647/EEC of 18 December 1989 on a solvency ratio for credit institutions (1), as amended by Directive 92/30/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas the second indent of Article 2 (1) of Directive 89/647/EEC defines 'Zone A` as comprising 'all the Member States and all other countries which are full members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as well as those countries having concluded special lending arrangements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) associated with the Fund's General Arrangements to Borrow (GAB)`;
Whereas the full membership of the OECD has been considered for the time being as the most appropriate criterion to distinguish the credit risk between countries with regard to the weighting of asset items constituting claims on or carrying the explicit guarantee of these countries;
Whereas an enlargement of the number of full members of the OECD is taking place as a consequence of a higher level of development reached by other countries together with democratic and economic freedom in line with the general principles for membership of the OECD;
Whereas it is important from a prudential supervisory point of view to maintain the creditworthiness of all countries in the 'Zone A` category; whereas for this reason an additional criterion should be included in the definition of 'Zone A`; whereas this criterion should imply that any country which reschedules its external sovereign debt should be precluded from the 'Zone A` category for a period of five years; whereas the same additional criterion has been introduced in the Basle Capital Accord and consistency with this Accord is desirable;
Whereas the second indent of Article 9 (1) of Directive 89/647/EEC provides that technical adaptations as regards amendment of the definition of 'Zone A` in Article 2 are to be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9 (2);
Whereas, when Directive 89/647/EEC was adopted, the possibility that loans might carry the explicit guarantee of the European Communities was not foreseen; whereas, for that reason, the Directive did not expressly provide for a reduced weighting and, as a result, such assets guaranteed by the European Communities are currently assigned a weighting of 100 %;
Whereas, however, points 3 and 7 of Article 6 (1) (a) of Directive 89/647/EEC apply a zero weighting to asset items constituting claims on the European Communities and to asset items secured to the satisfaction of the competent authorities by collateral in the form of securities issued by the European Communities;
Whereas it is appropriate to apply a 100 % weighting to asset items carrying the explicit guarantee of the European Communities and whereas a zero weighting should be applied in order to ensure consistency with points 3 and 7 of Article 6 (1) (a);
Whereas the fourth indent of Article 9 (1) of Directive 89/647/EEC provides that technical adaptations as regards amendment of the definitions of the assets listed in Article 6 in order to take account of developments on financial markets are to be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9 (2);
Whereas this Directive is relevant for the European Economic Area (EEA) and the procedure laid down in Article 99 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area has been followed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Banking Advisory Committee,
In Article 2 (1) of Directive 89/647/EEC, the following sentence is added to the second indent:
'Any country which reschedules its external sovereign debt is, however, precluded from Zone A for a period of 5 years.`
In point (a) of Article 6 (1) of Directive 89/647/EEC, point 4 is replaced by the following:
'4. asset items constituting claims carrying the explicit guarantees of Zone A central governments and central banks or of the European Communities;`.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Article 1 of this Directive by 30 September 1995. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the measures taken pursuant to Article 2 of this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

authorising the placing on the market of salatrims as novel food ingredients under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Only the Danish text is authentic)
(2003/867/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 June 1999 Danisco, formerly Cultor Food Science, submitted to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom a request for placing salatrims on the market in the Community as novel food ingredients.
(2) Salatrims are a group of reduced calorie triacylglycerides developed for use as alternative fats.
(3) The competent authorities of the United Kingdom carried out the initial assessment. The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 22 November 1999.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) The Scientific Committee on Food was consulted on the matter in accordance with Article 11 of the Regulation. On 13 December 2001, the Scientific Committee on Food delivered its opinion that salatrims are safe for human consumption.
(6) The Scientific Committee on Food noted the only adverse effects of salatrims observed in a number of human tolerance studies were gastro-intestinal complaints at high intakes (i.e. >30 g/day). Such inconveniences caused by gastro-intestinal intolerance are easily and commonly resolved by the individual abstaining from consumption when he or she becomes aware of the problem. It is therefore appropriate to provide a statement on the label which informs the consumer that excessive consumption may lead to gastro-intestinal problems.
(7) The Scientific Committee on Food also noted that no data had been generated on the effect of consumption of foods containing salatrims by children under 16 years, as this population group was unlikely to consume products intended for use mainly by persons aiming to control their weight by choosing an energy restricted diet. Therefore it is appropriate to provide a statement on the label which informs the consumer that products containing salatrims are not for use by children.
(8) The declaration of the energy value of foods and food ingredients is governed by Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs(2).
(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,
Salatrims as specified in the Annex may be placed on the market in the Community as novel food ingredients for use in bakery products and confectionery.
The designation "reduced energy fat (salatrims)" shall be displayed on the labelling of the product, as such, or in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs containing it.
There shall be a statement that excessive consumption may lead to gastro-intestinal disturbance.
There shall be a statement that the products are not intended for use by children.
This Decision is addressed to Danisco A/S, Langebrogade 1, PO Box 17, DK-1001 Copenhagen K, Denmark.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 19 December 2012
pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequate protection of personal data by New Zealand
(notified under document C(2012) 9557)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/65/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (1), and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC, Member States are required to provide that the transfer of personal data to a third country may take place only if the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection and if the Member States’ laws implementing other provisions of the Directive are complied with prior to the transfer.
(2) The Commission may find that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection. In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.
(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations and giving particular consideration to certain specified elements relevant for the transfer.
(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out, and any decision based on Directive 95/46/EC should be made and enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail, nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the Union’s present international commitments.
(5) New Zealand is a former British colony. It became an independent Dominion in 1907, but did not formally sever its constitutional ties with Great Britain until 1947. New Zealand is a unitary State and does not have a written constitution in the conventional sense of an entrenched constitutive document. The country is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy on the Westminster model, with the Queen of New Zealand as the Head of State.
(6) New Zealand operates on the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty. Nevertheless, by convention there are a number of statutes that are of particular constitutional importance and are regarded as ‘higher law’. This is in the sense that they form part of the constitutional background or landscape by informing government practice and the enactment of other legislation. Moreover, cross-political consensus would be expected in the event of amendment or repeal of this legislation. Several of these statutes — the Bill of Rights Act of 28 August 1990 (Public Act No 109 of 1990), the Human Rights Act of 10 August 1993 (Public Act No 82 of 1993), and the Privacy Act of 17 May 1993 (Public Act No 28 of 1993) — are relevant to data protection. The constitutional importance of this legislation is reflected by the convention that they must be taken into account when developing or proposing new legislation.
(7) The legal standards for the protection of personal data in New Zealand are primarily set out in the Privacy Act, as amended by the Privacy (Cross-border Information) Ammendement Act of 7 September 2010 (Public Act No 113 of 2010). It predates Directive 95/46/EC, and is not limited to automatically processed data or structured data in a filing system, but covers all personal information in whatever shape or form. It covers the entire public and private sectors, with a few specific public interest exceptions that one would expect in a democratic society.
(8) There are a number of regulatory frameworks in New Zealand for dealing with privacy issues in terms of policy, rules, or complaints jurisdictions. Some are statutory while others are self-regulating industry bodies, including media regulation, direct marketing, unsolicited electronic messages, market research, health and disability, banking and insurance and savings.
(9) In addition to legislation enacted by the New Zealand Parliament, there exists a considerable body of common law whose roots stem from English common law, embodying common law principles and rules that are relevant to data protection. Among the fundamental common law principles is the principle that the dignity of the individual is a paramount concern of the law. This common law principle is a key element in the background context to judicial decision-making generally in New Zealand. New Zealand case-law based on common law also contains a number of other aspects of privacy including invasion of privacy, breach of confidence and incidental protection in the context of defamation, nuisance, harassment, malicious falsehood, negligence and others.
(10) The legal data protection standards applicable in New Zealand cover all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons, and also provide for exceptions and limitations in order to safeguard important public interests. These legal data protection standards and the exceptions reflect the principles laid down in Directive 95/46/EC.
(11) The application of the legal data protection standards is guaranteed by administrative and judicial remedies, and by independent supervision carried out by the supervisory authority, the Privacy Commissioner, who is endowed with the kinds of powers set out in Article 28 of Directive 95/46/EC, and who acts independently. Moreover, any interested party is entitled to seek judicial redress for compensation for damages suffered as a result of the unlawful processing of his personal data.
(12) New Zealand should therefore be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data as referred to in Directive 95/46/EC.
(13) This decision should concern the adequacy of protection provided in New Zealand with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC. It should not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of the Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within Member States.
(14) In the interest of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.
(15) The Working Party on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC has delivered a favourable opinion on the level of adequacy as regards protection of personal data in New Zealand (2), which has been taken into account in the preparation of this Implementing Decision.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 31(1) of Directive 95/46/EC,
1. For the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, New Zealand is considered as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the Union.
2. The competent supervisory authority for the application of the legal data protection standards in New Zealand is set out in the Annex to this Decision.
1. Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in New Zealand in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in the following cases:
(a) where a competent New Zealand authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or
(b) where there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent New Zealand authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue, the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in New Zealand with notice and an opportunity to respond.
2. The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority of the Member States concerned is notified thereof.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission without delay when measures are adopted on the basis of Article 2.
2. The Member States and the Commission shall inform each other of cases where the action of bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in New Zealand fails to ensure such compliance.
3. Where information gathered under Article 2(1) and under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in New Zealand is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent New Zealand authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope.
The Commission shall monitor the functioning of this Decision and report any pertinent findings to the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC, including any evidence that could affect the finding in Article 1 of this Decision, that protection in New Zealand is adequate within the meaning of Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC and any evidence that this Decision is being implemented in a discriminatory manner.
Member States shall take all the measures necessary to comply with this Decision until 20 March 2013.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 347/2002 of 25 February 2002 opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wine in France
|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 347/2002
of 25 February 2002
opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wine in France
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Articles 30 and 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for the possibility of opening crisis distillation in the event of exceptional market disturbance due to major surpluses. Such measures may be limited to certain categories of wine and/or certain areas of production and may apply to quality wines psr at the request of the Member State.
(2) By letter of 18 December 2001, the French Government requested that crisis distillation be opened for table wine produced in France. Further information was forwarded on 18 and 29 January 2002.
(3) Production of table wine in France amounted to 21,1 million hl in 1998 and 25,2 million hl in 1999. It stood at 23,4 million hl in 2000 and the latest estimates for the current wine year put table wine production at 22 million hl.
(4) Although the figures for production have declined since the bumper harvest of 1999/2000, stocks at the start of the wine year show a steep rise. Table wine stocks stood at 12,853 million hl in 1997 and 12,086 million hl in 1998. They amounted to 10,8 million hl at the start of the 1999/2000 wine year, 15,5 million hl at the start of 2000/01 and 17,7 million hl at the start of the current wine year. There has been very great variation in stocks, particularly in certain wine-growing areas, with table wine stocks rising by over 200 % since the beginning of 1999/2000.
(5) This rise in stocks has had a negative impact on prices, especially those for red wine, which have fallen by around 24 % since the start of 1999/2000, a wine year which saw no major intervention measures.
(6) Over the period 1996/97 to 1998/99 table wine consumption in France declined slightly from around 18,3 million hl to 17,9 million hl. From 1998/99 it fell first to 17,3 million hl and then dropped very sharply to 15,5 million hl, according to the latest (provisional) figures for 2000/01.
(7) The crisis distillation measures decided during the 2000/01 wine year have definitely had a positive effect in terms of stabilising prices for a period, but they have proved insufficient when set against the large increase in stocks, which are depressing the market and preventing a return to balance.
(8) In order to reverse this negative trend in prices and sales, stocks of table wine should be reduced to a level that can be regarded as normal in terms of covering market requirements, and so deal with the difficult situation on the market. Stocks that have built up over the last two years must be reduced to a reasonable level, reflecting more normal consumption requirements.
(9) Since the conditions laid down in Article 30(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 are still satisfied, a crisis distillation measure should be opened for a maximum of 4 million hl of table wine in order to reduce stocks to an acceptable level. The measure should apply for a limited period with a view to maximum effectiveness. No ceiling should be set on the quantity that individual producers can have distilled because stocks may vary substantially from one producer to another and they depend more on sales than on the individual producer's annual output.
(10) The mechanism to be introduced is that provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2464/2001(4). In addition to the Articles of that Regulation that refer to the distillation measure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 apply, in particular those concerning the delivery of alcohol to intervention agencies and the payment of advances.
(11) The price distillers must pay producers should be set at a level that permits the problems faced to be dealt with by allowing producers to take advantage of the possibility afforded by this measure. That price should not, however, be such that it adversely affects the application of distillation under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(12) The product of crisis distillation must be raw or neutral alcohol only, for compulsory delivery to the intervention agency in order to avoid disturbing the market for potable alcohol, which is supplied largely by distillation under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby opened for a maximum of 4 million hectolitres of table wine in France.
In addition to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 referring to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the following provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 shall apply to the measure provided for herein:
- Article 62(5) as regards payment by the intervention agency of the price as referred to in Article 6(2) of this Regulation,
- Articles 66 and 67 as regards advances as provided for in Article 6(2) of this Regulation.
Producers may conclude contracts as provided for in Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 from 1 to 29 March 2002. Contracts shall be accompanied by proof that a security equal to EUR 5 per hectolitre has been lodged. Contracts may not be transferred.
1. The Member State shall determine the rate of reduction to be applied to the above contracts where the overall quantity covered by contracts presented exceeds that laid down in Article 1.
2. The Member State shall take the administrative steps necessary to approve the above contracts by 6 May 2002 at the latest, shall specify the rate of reduction applied and the quantity of wine accepted per contract and shall stipulate that the producer may cancel the contract where the quantity to be distilled is reduced. The Member State shall notify the Commission before 20 May 2002 of the quantities of such wine covered by approved contracts.
3. The wine must be delivered to the distilleries by 31 July 2002 at the latest. The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency by 31 December 2002 at the latest.
4. Securities shall be released in proportion to the quantities delivered where the producer provides proof of delivery to the distillery.
5. The security shall be forfeit where no delivery is made within the time limit laid down.
6. The Member State may limit the number of contracts that individual producers may conclude under this distillation measure.
The minimum price paid for wine delivered for distillation under this Regulation shall be EUR 1,914 % vol/hl.
1. Distillers shall deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency. That product shall be of an alcoholic strength of at least 92 % vol.
2. The price the intervention agency must pay distillers for raw alcohol delivered shall be EUR 2,2812 % vol/hl. Distillers may receive an advance of EUR 1,1222 % vol/hl. on that amount. The advance shall in that case be deducted from the price actually paid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1974/87 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas the Commission report provided for in Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shows the quantity of the variety Burley EL from the 1985 harvest taken over by the intervention agencies to be substantially larger than both the quantity and the percentage of production laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1578/86 (5); whereas the data available at present point to the risk that the quantities taken over by the intervention agencies for the 1986 harvest might exceed the quantities and the percentage of production laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70;
Whereas it is necessary therefore to adopt special measures as provided for in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, and in particular to lower the intervention price for the variety; whereas in view of the need to rebalance the market the lower price should apply to a number of consecutive harvests;
Whereas the action taken will reduce intervention expenditure and allow the level of the premium to be raised by way of compensation; whereas in consequence producers will be able to obtain the norm price for the quantities that can be disposed of normally on the market,
The intervention price for tobacco of the 1987, 1988 and 1989 harvests of the variety Burley EL shall be lowered to 75 % of the corresponding norm price.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament,
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (1),
Whereas:
(1) The accession of 10 new Member States took place on 1 May 2004.
(2) In addition, the possibility of further accessions should be taken into account.
(3) The Communities have granted loans and guaranteed loans to accession countries or for projects executed in those countries. Those loans and guarantees are currently covered by the Guarantee Fund and will remain outstanding or in force after the date of accession. From that date, they will cease to be external actions of the Communities and should therefore be covered directly by the general budget of the European Union and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.
(4) The European Investment Bank should inform the Commission of the amount of its outstanding operations under the Community guarantee in new Members States on the day of accession.
(5) The report prepared by the Commission in accordance with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (2) concludes that it is not necessary to amend any parameters of the Guarantee Fund to take into account the enlargement of the European Union.
(6) In view of the amount of information needed for the annual report required by Article 7 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 and the complexity of the procedures to be accomplished before submission of the report, the time provided for its preparation should be extended.
(7) Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The Treaties provide for no powers, other than those in Article 308 of the EC Treaty and Article 203 of the Euratom Treaty, for the adoption of this Regulation,
Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the following subparagraph shall be added:
2. The following Article shall be inserted:
3. In Article 7, the date ‘31 March’ shall be replaced by ‘31 May’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2004.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(4) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) stipulates that the representative cif import price determined for barley shall be used for calculating import duties on sorghum and rye.
(2) Trends in the barley market and the minor importance of the United States on the world market for this product mean that barley no longer provides an estimate of the sorghum market. Furthermore, the sources of information on the sorghum market are too few or too unreliable to provide a basis for setting import duties for this product. Lastly, it appears from the sources available that the prices of sorghum and of maize exported from the United States are very close to one another. Consequently, the representative cif import price calculated for maize should be applied to sorghum. Furthermore, the existing equality between the duties that apply to rye and those that apply to sorghum should be maintained.
(3) Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 is amended as follows:
1. Article 5 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the introductory phrase of paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex III is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan and Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1300/97(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 lays down the conditions for applying a preferential duty on large-flowered roses, small-flowered roses, uniflorous (bloom) carnations and multiflorous (spray) carnations within the limit of tariff quotas opened annually for imports into the Community of fresh cut flowers.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001(3), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 786/2002(4), opens and provides for the administration of Community tariff quotas for cut flowers and flower buds, fresh, originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Malta, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip respectively.

COUNCIL DECISION of 29 November 1995 on the equivalence of seed potatoes produced in third countries (95/513/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas there are rules on the official control of seed potatoes in Switzerland;
Whereas the abovementioned rules provide that basic seed and certified seed potato may be officially certified and their containers officially closed in accordance with the UNECE standard for seed potatoes recommended by the Working Party on Standardization of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations;
Whereas an examination of these rules and the manner in which they are applied in Switzerland have shown that the conditions governing seed potatoes harvested and controlled in this country afford the same assurances as regards their characteristics and the arrangements for their inspection, for ensuring identity, for marking and for control, as do the conditions applicable to seed potatoes harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas Decision 81/956/EEC (2), which established equivalence for seed potato produced in Switzerland, expired on 30 June 1995; whereas a new Decision is therefore necessary;
Whereas this Decision does not prevent Community findings from being revoked if it becomes apparent that the conditions on which such findings are based are no longer fulfilled; whereas, to this end, further practical information on seed potatoes produced in the abovementioned countries should be obtained by growing and checking samples of such seed within the framework of the Community comparative tests;
Whereas this Decision does not affect the requirements which Member States establish under Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (3),
It is hereby declared that, where the conditions laid down in Part II of the Annex hereto are satisfied, seed potatoes which are harvested in the country specified in Part I of the Annex hereto and officially controlled by the Authorities listed therein and which belong to the categories specified therein are equivalent to seed patatoes of corresponding categories harvested within the Community and comply with Directive 66/403/EEC.
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 2000.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 2 December 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000', ordered on 15 June 1981 and intended to be used for trace analysis of heavy metals contained in organic and biological substances and in water, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1984 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the great precision of the spectral analysis, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Perkin-Elmer - Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 5000', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 2 December 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Diseases caused by agents specifically engineered for the purpose of maximising morbidity and/or mortality upon deliberate release should be covered by that Decision.
(2) Commission Decision 2000/96/EC of 22 December 1999 on the communicable diseases to be progressively covered by the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), lists certain communicable diseases to be covered by epidemiological surveillance in the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC.
(3) Commission Decision 2002/253/EC of 19 March 2002 laying down case definitions for reporting communicable diseases to the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), provides for case definitions for communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.
(4) It is appropriate that the communicable diseases for which case definitions are provided in Decision 2002/253/EC are congruent with the communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.
(5) Smallpox could pose a serious public health threat in the event of deliberate release. This communicable disease should therefore be listed in Annex 1 to Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for smallpox should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.
(6) Although tetanus is not transmissible among humans and only occurs sporadically in the Community, evaluation of vaccine programmes based on surveillance would contribute to the improvement of vaccine policies. Tetanus should therefore be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for tetanus is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.
(7) A deliberate release of anthrax in the Community would pose a serious risk to public health. Therefore that disease should be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for anthrax is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.
(8) Transmission of botulism is not restricted to foodborne intoxication and any reference to that mode of contracting the disease should, therefore, be deleted.
(9) It is appropriate that the case definition for diphtheria in Decision 2002/253/EC be reviewed to take into account the latest scientific evidence.
(10) Decision 2000/96/EC defines criteria for the selection of communicable diseases of special areas to be covered by epidemiological surveillance within the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC. Q-fever and tularaemia would fulfil those criteria in the event of deliberate release. Those diseases also occur naturally within the European Community. Surveillance based on case definitions would offer added benefit. Those communicable diseases should therefore be listed in Decision 2000/96/EC. In addition, case definitions for Q-fever and tularaemia should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.
(11) Decisions No 2119/98/EC, 2000/96/EC and 2002/253/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision No 2119/98/EC,
The Annex to Decision No 2119/98/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision.
Annex I to Decision 2000/96/EC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision.
The Annex to Decision 2002/253/EC is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Decision.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 717/2002
of 25 April 2002
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 156/2002(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 April 2002.

of 20 September 2001
on the opening of additional quotas for imports into the Community in quota year 2002 of certain textile products originating in certain third countries participating in trade fairs organised in November 2001 in the European Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 391/2001(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Additional quotas to those indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 may be opened when required under special circumstances. The Commission has received a request to open additional quotas in view of trade fairs to be held in 2001.
(2) Additional quotas have already been opened for trade fairs in previous years for certain third countries.
(3) Access to the additional quotas should be limited to products which have been exhibited by the exporting countries at the relevant fair and for the quantities agreed to by sales contracts, as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where the fair is taking place.
(4) In order to avoid an over-utilisation of these additional quotas it appears appropriate to request the Member State on the territory of which the fair is taking place, on the one hand, to ensure that the total amounts covered by certified contracts do not exceed the limits set for these additional quotas and, on the other hand, to inform the Commission after closure of the fair of the total quantities covered by such certified contracts.
(5) It seems appropriate to apply to imports into the Community of products for which the additional quotas are opened the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to imports of products subject to quantitative limits set out in Annex V to the said Regulation, with the exception of those relating to flexibilities.
(6) Requests for import authorisations should moreover be accompanied by the contract signed at the relevant fair, as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where it is held.
(7) In order to avoid circumvention, issue of import authorisations should only cover products shipped in the supplier country in which they originate no earlier than 1 January 2002.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, additional quotas for quota year 2002 shall be opened in respect of the trade fairs to be held in November 2001 in the European Community as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Access to the additional quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be limited to such products which have been exhibited by the exporting countries at the fair and for the quantities agreed by a sales contract signed at the relevant fair as certified by the competent authorities of the Member States where the fair takes place.
2. The competent authorities of the Member State in the territory of which the fair is taking place shall ensure that the total amounts covered by certified contracts do not exceed the limits fixed in the Annex.
3. The Commission shall be informed by the relevant Member State not later than 30 days after the closure of the fair of the total quantities covered by contracts certified as having been concluded during the fair. This information shall be provided by supplier country and category.
1. Without prejudice to paragraphs 2 and 3, imports into the Community of products for which additional quotas have been opened shall be subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to imports of products subject to quantitative limits established in Annex V to the said Regulation, with the exception of those relating to flexibilities.
2. Import authorisations shall only be issued on the presentation of an export licence bearing in box 9 an indication of the fair and year to which it relates and accompanied by the original of the certified contract referred to in Article 2.
3. Import authorisations shall only cover products shipped into the Community from the third country in which they originate no earlier than 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Decision 95/538/EC of 6 December 1995 laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery and aquaculture products originating in Japan(3), states that the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Veterinary Sanitary Division (MHW-VSD) shall be the competent authority in Japan for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.
(2) Following a restructuring of the Japanese administration, the competent authority for health certificates for fishery products has changed to the Inspection and Safety Division (ISD) of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This new authority is capable of effectively verifying the application of the laws in force. It is therefore necessary to modify the nomination of the competent authority mentioned in Decision 95/538/EC and the model health certificate included in Annex A to this Decision
(3) It is convenient to harmonise the wording of Decision 95/538/EC with the wording of more recently adopted Commission Decisions, laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery and aquaculture products originating in certain third countries.

The Inspection and Safety Division (ISD) of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare shall be the competent authority in Japan for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC."
2. Article 2 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 2
Fishery and aquaculture products originating in Japan must meet the following conditions:
1. each consignment must be accompanied by a numbered original health certificate, duly completed, signed, dated and comprising a single sheet in accordance with the model in Annex A hereto;
2. the products must come from approved establishments, factory vessels, cold stores or registered freezer vessels listed in Annex B hereto;
3. except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and intended for the manufacture of preserved foods, all packages must bear the word 'JAPAN' and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in indelible letters."
3. Article 3(2) shall be replaced by the following:
"2. Certificates must bear the name, capacity and signature of the representative of the ISD and the latter's official stamp in a colour different from that of other endorsements."
4. Annex A shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall come into effect 45 days after its publication on the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the presence of salmonellae has been confirmed in Nile perch fillets originating in Tanzania on several occasions on their importation into the Community;
Whereas, pending the application by the competent Tanzanian authorities of health measures preventing the contamination of Nile perch fillets and on-the-spot inspections by Commission experts to verify that the measures are being properly applied, Nile perch fillets originating in Tanzania should be systematically checked for salmonellae on importation;
Whereas, under Article 4 (7) of Directive 90/675/EEC, all expenditure incurred in such checks for salmonellae is to be chargeable to the consignor, the consignee or their agent, without reimbursement by the Member State conducting the checks;
Whereas such a measure must be transitional in nature pending a decision establishing the specific conditions for the importation of fishery products originating in Tanzania;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
This Decision shall apply to whole fish, gutted or not, and fillets, slices and minced flesh of the species Lates niloticus (Nile perch), fresh or frozen, originating in Tanzania.

(1) Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 48/1999 of 18 December 1998 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1999 and certain conditions under which they may be fished(3), lays down the saithe quotas for 1999;
(2) Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
(3) Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC zone), VI, XII and XIV by vessels flying the flag of Spain or registered in Spain have reached the quota allocated for 1999; whereas Spain has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 12 May 1999; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Whereas:
(1) The competent authority of Ireland has submitted a request, accompanied by appropriate documentation, for the recognition of the system of identification and registration of ovine animals implemented in that Member State.
(2) Following a Commission veterinary inspection mission in Ireland the system of identification and registration of ovine animals has been audited by the Commission experts as fully operational provided that certain commitments are fulfilled.
(3) Ireland has taken all necessary measures to ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 as of 9 July 2005.
(4) The competent authority should carry out appropriate checks in order to verify the proper implementation of the system of identification and registration of ovine animals.
(5) The system of identification and registration of ovine animals in Ireland should therefore be approved allowing the replacement of the second means of identification by that system, except in the case of animals involved in intra-Community trade.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 30 October 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Thermo Electron - Thermal Energy Analyzer, model 502', ordered on 14 September 1979 and to be used for the measuring and the determination of nitrosamines in the examination of meat and dairy products in connection with cancer research, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 19 April 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter; whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyzer; whereas, although this apparatus may no longer be considered scientific, it had still to be so considered at the time when it was ordered because of its objective technical characteristics and the use made of it; whereas, moreover, at that time, apparatus of this type was used mainly for scientific activities;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Thermo Electron - Thermal Energy Analyzer, model 502', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 30 October 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2238/93(3) lays down detailed rules of application for accompanying documents for wine products, without prejudice to the application of Council Directive 92/12/EEC(4), as last amended by Directive 96/99/EEC(5), and rules on the records to be kept in the wine sector;
(2) Whereas Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2238/93 introduces the possibility for the Member States to lay down additional or specific provisions for the products in question in circulation on their territory; whereas one of those provisions stipulates that details of the density of grape may be replaced, for a transitional period, by a reference to the density expressed in degrees Oechsle; whereas that transitional period originally expired on 31 August 1996; whereas this traditional practice is used mainly by small agricultural producers; whereas several useful amendments to the Regulation in question were under discussion for a time, but did not lead to any final result pending the entry into force of a new common market organisation; whereas that new common market organisation (COM) has now been adopted and will enter into force on 1 August 2000; whereas, under those circumstances, the provision in question should be re-introduced until the entry into force of the new COM; whereas the date in question should therefore be replaced by 31 July 2000;
(3) Whereas a new closing device for small containers filled with wine products is in use in the Community; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2238/93 should therefore be amended so that it may be considered a "recognised closing device" within the meaning of Article 2(h) of that Regulation;
(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EEC) No 2238/93 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 18(1)(d), the date "31 August 1996" is replaced by "31 July 2000";
2. Point 1 of Annex I is replaced by the following: "1.

Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (6), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88, as amended by the Act of Accession (7); whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 11 and the second paragraph of Article 26,
Whereas:
(1) Austria has requested the insertion in Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of 10 training programmes related to healthcare. These training programmes are regulated by the Healthcare and Nursing Special Task Ordinance (GuK-SV BGBl II No 452/2005) and the Healthcare and Nursing Teaching and Management Duties Ordinance (GuK-LFV BGBl II No 453/2005).
(2) As these Austrian training programmes are of an equivalent level of training to that provided for under Article 11(c)(i) of Directive 2005/36/EC and provide a comparable professional standard and prepare the trainee for a comparable level of responsibilities and functions, their inclusion on the basis of Article 11(c)(ii) in Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC is justified.
(3) Portugal has submitted a reasoned request to include in point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC specialist medical training in medical oncology.
(4) Medical oncology aims at offering a systemic treatment of cancer. The treatment of cancer patients has undergone major changes over the last decade due to scientific progress. Specialist medical training in medical oncology is not listed in point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC. However, medical oncology has developed into a separate and distinct specialist medical training in more than two fifths of the Member States, which justifies its inclusion into point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC.
(5) In order to ensure a sufficiently high level of specialist medical training, the minimum period of training required for the medical specialty of medical oncology to be automatically recognised should be five years.
(6) France has submitted a reasoned request to include in point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC specialist medical training in medical genetics.
(7) Medical genetics is a specialty that responds to the rapid development of knowledge in the field of genetics and its implication in numerous specialised fields, such as oncology, foetal medicine, paediatrics, chronic diseases. Medical genetics plays a growing role in screening and in the prevention of numerous pathologies. Specialist medical training in medical genetics is not listed in point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC. However, it has developed into a separate and distinct specialist medical training in more than two fifths of the Member States, which justifies its inclusion into point 5.1.3 of Annex V to Directive 2005/36/EC.
(8) In order to ensure a sufficiently high level of specialist medical training, the minimum period of training required for the medical specialty of medical genetics to be automatically recognised should be four years.
(9) Directive 2005/36/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications,
Annexes II and V to Directive 2005/36/EC are amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), and in particular Article 24(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (2), stipulates that the cif import price for molasses established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (3), is to be considered the representative price. That price is fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(2) For the purpose of fixing the representative prices, account must be taken of all the information provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, except in the cases provided for in Article 4 of that Regulation and those prices should be fixed, where appropriate, in accordance with the method provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation.
(3) Prices not referring to the standard quality should be adjusted upwards or downwards, according to the quality of the molasses offered, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(4) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the terms laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(5) The representative prices and additional import duties for the products concerned should be fixed in accordance with Articles 1(2) and 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2062/80 of 31 July 1980 on the conditions and procedure for granting or withdrawing recognition of producers' organizations and associations thereof in the fishing industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 of 19 January 1976 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2903/78 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 of 19 January 1976 on the recognition of producers' organizations in the fishing industry (3), and in particular Articles 2 (2) and 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 provides that a producers' organization must show that it is sufficiently active economically in order to obtain recognition ; whereas producers' organizations can play their part in the common organization of the market only if they are able to provide a supply which is concentrated, sufficient in quantity, continually available and homogeneous in quality ; whereas only producers' organizations of a certain minimum output can fulfil these requirements;
Whereas the minimum output hitherto prescribed has in some cases proved to be inadequate, particularly since the degree of concentration amongst purchasers has been increasing for some time ; whereas the minimum quantities in question should accordingly be increased to an appropriate level;
Whereas the structure of the fishing industry and its products vary greatly throughout the Community according to the type of fishing practised ; whereas the minimum quantities produced should therefore be fixed according to type of fishing;
Whereas the conditions of production in coastal waters vary substantially from region to region within the Community ; whereas the minimum output fixed for producers' organizations concerned with local inshore and certain special types of fishing areas may, therefore, in some cases prove too low ; whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to set a higher minimum output for producers' organizations involved in local inshore fishery;
Whereas it has further proved necessary to set a minimum output for associations of producers' organizations and to lay down requirements in respect of their common production and marketing rules ; whereas associations may carry out their functions only if they can show a minimum output which corresponds to the total of the output prescribed for their individual members ; whereas it is sufficient that the common production and marketing rules of an association cover the coordination of their members' rules ; whereas, however, this requires that the members' fleets and their production should have a sufficient degree of uniformity for each product or group of products and in respect of turnover ; whereas this may be ensured where the association's activity covers an area of the Community with a certain degree of uniformity in production and marketing structures;
Whereas the producers' organizations' common production and marketing rules fixed hitherto for adjusting production to market requirements must be simplified and limited to the essentials ; whereas the catch plan should accordingly be drawn up with special reference to the quantity it is possible to produce, the stocks available and the forecast market requirements;
Whereas the supervision by Member States of the manner in which the producers' organizations operate should be extended ; whereas the Member States should, in particular, ensure that the producers' organizations neither draw up nor maintain catch plans which substantially ignore market requirements or past experience as regards the quantities of fish withdrawn from the market;
Whereas the provisions as to the information required for recognition should also be applied to associations;
Whereas it has also proved necessary to supplement the provisions on withdrawals or recognition ; whereas recognition of a producers' organization or association thereof should also be withdrawn if that organization or association fails to fulfil its obligations;
Whereas, subject to certain transitional provisions, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1939/72 of 8 September 1972 on the conditions and procedures for the recognition of producers' organizations in the fishing industry (4) should be repealed; (1)OJ No L 20, 28.1.1976, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 347, 12.12.1978, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 20, 28.1.1976, p. 39. (4)OJ No L 207, 9.9.1972, p. 10.
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
This Regulation lays down the conditions and procedure for granting and withdrawing recognition of producers' organizations and associations thereof.
1. The requirement laid down in Article 2 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 shall be considered as fulfilled where a producers' organization, having regard to the type of fishing mainly carried out by its members and the products or groups of products for which recognition is being requested, produces the following minimum quantities: >PIC FILE= "T0015421">
2. However, Member States may set higher minimum quantities for producers' organizations whose members engage in fishing of the types specified in paragraph 1 (1) and (5), provided that regional conditions so require. These minimum catches may not exceed those laid down for a producers' organization whose members engage in offshore fishing.
An association shall be considered to have fulfilled the requirement laid down in Article 2 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 if it has a minimum output equal to the sum of the minimum quantities laid down for its members. For the purposes of calculating this quantity, account shall be taken only of the minimum quantities for the members which were taken as the basis for their recognition and which are sufficiently uniform in respect of composition, type of production and marketing.
1. The obligation provided for in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 shall not cover the quantities of products for which the members of producers' organizations concluded contracts before their admission to the organization, provided that, before admission, they informed the organization of the extent and duration of these contracts and obtained its approval.
2. In so far as a producers' organization releases its members from the requirement to sell through the organization their entire output of the product or products in respect of which they are members, the common rules referred to in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (1) must include at least the requirement that the members in question respect the withdrawal prices applied by the producers' organization.
1. The common rules on production and marketing referred to in the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 must be laid down in writing.
In the case of a producers' organization these rules shall include at least: (a) as regards production: (aa) a catch plan to be drawn up before the beginning of the fishery year containing appropriate measures for adjusting the factors of production and the catch during the fishery year to demand.
The catch plan is to be drawn up on the basis of the forecast attainable output per species and the forecast demand of the market;
(bb) standardization of products (weight, size, sorting, presentation, packaging, etc.);
(cc) product quality, quality control methods, quality grading;
Member States shall be entitled not to apply the provisions of (aa) to producers' organizations engaged in local inshore and other fishing within the meaning of Article 2 (1) (5);
(b) as regards marketing:
the provisions governing sales by the producers' organization, on the one hand and by its members on the other, in particular as regards the concentration of supply, preparation for sale and common supply at the first marketing stage.
2. In the case of an association, the rules shall provide at least for a coordination of its members' common rules as referred to in paragraph 1 for production and marketing.
The following documents and information shall accompany every application for recognition: (a) the instrument establishing the organization;
(b) the rules of the organization;
(c) the names of the persons empowered to act for and on behalf of the producers' organization or the association;
(d) particulars of the activities justifying the application for recognition;
(e) the necessary information to enable compliance with Articles 2 and 3 to be checked.
1. The Member State shall decide on applications for recognition within four months of the date on which they were lodged.
2. Where a Member State refuses recognition, it shall inform the Commission within two months following notification of its decision to the applicant indicating the grounds for refusal.
The Member States shall exercise continuous supervision of the operation of recognized producers' organizations and associations, with particular regard to the application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76 and of Article 5 of this Regulation.
1. The recognition of a producers' organization or association shall, without prejudice to the grounds set out in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 105/76, be withdrawn if the organization or association fails in its obligations to adhere to its rules on production and marketing.
2. Recognition of a producers' organization or association shall not be withdrawn if force majeure or natural conditions affecting fishing prevent it from achieving the minimum annual outputs laid down in Article 2.
3. The grounds for withdrawal shall be communicated to the producers' organization or association in advance in writing.
4. If recognition is withdrawn on the grounds that the producers' organization or association has applied for or made use of recognition fraudulently, aid granted under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 100/76 shall be claimed back.
5. The grounds for withdrawing recognition shall in each case be communicated to the Commission within two months.
6. Recognition granted under Regulation (EEC) No 1939/72 to producers' organizations before the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall be withdrawn if the conditions laid down in this Regulation for recognition are not fulfilled.

approving the active substance profoxydim, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For profoxydim the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Spain received on 2 April 1998 an application from BASF SE for the inclusion of the active substance profoxydim in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 1999/43/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 28 March 2001.
(4) For profoxydim the draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for profoxydim.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing profoxydim may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve profoxydim.
(6) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing profoxydim. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(7) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of 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 (4) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(8) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (5) should be amended accordingly.
(9) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2011/14/EU of 24 February 2011 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include profoxydim as active substance (6) should be repealed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance profoxydim, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing profoxydim as active substance by 31 January 2012.
By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing profoxydim as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 July 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing profoxydim as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2013 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing profoxydim as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2013 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Repeal
Directive 2011/14/EU is repealed.
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 August 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of benzoic acid — benzoates (E 210-213) in cooked shrimps in brine
(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 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3),
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) That list may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(3) A request to amend the Union list of food additives has been submitted by the Danish Seafood Association in order to increase the maximum permitted level of benzoic acid — benzoates (E 210-213) in cooked shrimps in brine.
(4) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 sets maximum limits for the use of sorbic acid — sorbates; benzoic acid — benzoates (E 200-213) of 2 000 mg/kg in semi-preserved fish and fisheries products including crustaceans, molluscs, surimi and fish/crustacean paste; cooked crustaceans and molluscs. In cooked crustaceans and molluscs the total maximum permitted level of benzoic acid — benzoates (E 210-213) is furthermore 1 000 mg/kg.
(5) These maximum permitted levels in cooked and brined shrimps with pH of 5,6 to 5,7 should be sufficient to inhibit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes at cooling temperatures between 5 and 8 °C. However, small changes in the preserving parameters can result in growth of Listeria monocytogenes. A mathematical predictive method has been developed at the Technological University of Denmark, to determine which level of benzoic acid benzoate (E 210-213) is needed (3). According to that model the level of 1 000 mg/kg of E 210-213 is not sufficient to prevent growth of Listeria monocytogenes in shrimps in brine at pH 5,8. In order to prevent growth of Listeria monocytogenes in these shrimps, both the model and tests show that the optimal combination of benzoic acid — benzoates (E 210-213) and sorbic acid — sorbates (E 200-203) is 1 500 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg respectively.
(6) In its report trends and sources of zoonoses, zoonotic agents and food-borne outbreaks in 2012 (4), the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded that the number of listeriosis cases in humans increased slightly compared with 2011, and 1 642 confirmed human cases were reported in 2012. A statistically significant increasing trend in the Union was observed over the period 2008-2012, though only slowly increasing, along with a seasonal pattern. As in previous years, a high fatality rate (17,8 %) was reported among the cases. A total of 198 deaths due to listeriosis were reported by 18 Member States in 2012, which was the highest number of fatal cases reported since 2006. Listeria monocytogenes was seldomly detected above the legal safety limit for ready-to-eat foods at point of retail. Samples exceeding this limit were most often found in fishery products.
(7) The Commission report on Dietary Food Additive Intake in the European Union (5) concluded that exposure to benzoic acid — benzoates could be up to 96 % of the ADI for young children and 84 % for adults based on the use at maximum permitted levels. At that time a maximum level in cooked shrimps of 2 000 mg/kg was set for sorbic acid — sorbates in combination with benzoic acid — benzoates. This level was revised by Directive 2006/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) when this authorisation was extended to all cooked crustaceans and molluscs, however with a maximum of 1 000 mg/kg for benzoic acid — benzoates. It is therefore expected that the increase of this level to 1 500 mg/kg, only for cooked shrimps in brine, will not lead to additional exposure that would be of safety concern.
(8) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where the update in question is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the authorisation of the use of benzoic acid — benzoates (E 210-213) in cooked shrimps preserved in brine constitutes an update of that list which is not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the Authority.
(9) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 14 May 2010
establishing a securities markets programme
(ECB/2010/5)
(2010/281/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular to the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12.1, Article 3.1 and Article 18.1 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area NCBs’) and the European Central Bank (ECB) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘Eurosystem central banks’) may operate in the financial markets by, among other things, buying and selling outright marketable instruments.
(2) On 9 May 2010 the Governing Council decided and publicly announced that, in view of the current exceptional circumstances in financial markets, characterised by severe tensions in certain market segments which are hampering the monetary policy transmission mechanism and thereby the effective conduct of monetary policy oriented towards price stability in the medium term, a temporary securities markets programme (hereinafter the ‘programme’) should be initiated. Under the programme, the euro area NCBs, according to their percentage shares in the key for subscription of the ECB’s capital, and the ECB, in direct contact with counterparties, may conduct outright interventions in the euro area public and private debt securities markets.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1898/97 of 29 September 1997 laying down rules of application in the pigmeat sector for the arrangements covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2698/93 and (EC) No 1590/94
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (4), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 adjusts as an autonomous and transitional measure the agricultural concessions in the Europe Agreements concluded between the European Communities and their Member States of the one part and the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania respectively of the other part, for the period 1 January 1996 to entry into force of the Additional Protocols; whereas these adjustments were extended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2490/96 (5) to 31 December 1997; whereas owing to procedural delays the Additional Protocols to the Europe Agreements, negotiation of which are concluded, cannot enter into force on 1 July 1997; whereas Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 has therefore been amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/97 in order to allow early implementation in the agricultural sector of the negotiation results;
Whereas, while bearing in mind the provisions of the Interim Agreements intended to guarantee product origin, the arrangements should be operated using import licences; whereas rules on the presentation of licence applications and to the entries to be made on applications and licences are required that differ from those in Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1404/97 (7); whereas licences should be issued following a reflection period and possibly with a common percentage acceptance applied;
Whereas for the purposes of smooth operation of the arrangements security of ECU 30 per 100 kilograms should be required against import licences; whereas given the risk of speculative misuse of the arrangements where pigmeat is concerned importer access to these products should be precisely regulated;
Whereas import licences for certain product categories in the pigmeat sector have already been assigned for the period 1 July to 30 September 1997 in line with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1461/97 of 25 July 1997 determining the extent to which applications lodged in July 1997 for import licences for certain pigmeat products under the regime provided for by the Agreements concluded by the Community with the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic can be accepted (8) and with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1462/97 of 25 July 1997 determining the extent to which applications lodged in July 1997 for import licences for certain pigmeat products under the regime provided for by the Agreements concluded by the Community with Bulgaria and Romania can be accepted (9); whereas the quantities available for the period 1 October to 31 December 1997 should be set by reference to the quantities agreed and quotas set for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2698/93 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 691/97 (11), lays down detailed rules for application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community and Poland, Hungary, and the former Czech and Slovak Federative Republic; whereas since it is replaced by this Regulation it should be repealed;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1590/94 (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 691/97, lays down detailed rules for application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreements between the Community and Bulgaria and Romania; whereas since it is replaced by this Regulation it should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
All imports into the Community under the arrangements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of products covered by group Nos 1, 2, 3, 4, H1, H2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10/11, 12/13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 provided for in Annex I to this Regulation shall be subject to presentation of an import licence.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 2 November 1983, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Rigaku - X-ray Diffractometer System based on Theta-Theta Goniometer, model 2182 D5', ordered on 16 September 1982 and intended to be used in X-ray diffraction studies of liquid and amorphous systems and to obtain diffraction patterns for liquids and glasses in order to derive their structural properties, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 11 April 1984 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a diffractometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the goniometric resolution, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'MZ III', 'MZ IV' and 'GSD-Theta-Theta Goniometer' manufactured by Seifert, Bogenstrasse 41, D-2070 Ahrensburg,
The apparatus described as 'Rigaku - X-ray Diffractometer System based on Theta-Theta Goniometer, model 2182 D5', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 2 November 1983, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council 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,
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 26 May 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the East Wales region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support pursuant to Article 6(2) 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) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The 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 the East Wales region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas 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:
- developing sustainable and competitive SMEs,
- sustainable rural development,
- urban community regeneration,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF 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 303264000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 121120000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 133230000 from the public sector and EUR 48914000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the European Regional Development Fund granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 121120000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Fund for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. 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 or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which 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 co-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 26 May 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2007 for transitional areas and 31 December 2008 for fully eligible areas. This date is extended to 30 April 2008 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 in transitional areas and to 30 April 2009 for such bodies in fully eligible areas.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

amending Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Somalia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2010/231/CFSP of 26 April 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Somalia (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 (2) imposes a general ban on the provision of technical advice, assistance, training, financing and financial assistance relating to military activities to any person, entity or body in Somalia.
(2) On 6 March 2013, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2093 (2013). That Resolution amended the arms embargo imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 733 (1992) and further elaborated upon by UNSCR 1425 (2002). UNSCR 2093 (2013) thus provides for a derogation from the prohibition of assistance relating to weapons and military equipment intended for the support of Amisom’s strategic partners, for United Nations personnel, and for the successor mission of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia, and partially suspends the arms embargo in relation to the development of the Security Forces of the Federal Government of Somalia.
(3) On 25 April 2013 the Council adopted Decision 2013/201/CFSP (3), which amends Decision 2010/231/CFSP and provides for derogations equivalent to those provided by the UNSCR 2093 (2013).
(4) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 2a is replaced by the following:
