THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 97/15/EC of 9 December 1996 on a third multiannual programme for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European Union (1997 to 2000) (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
(1) Whereas the Commission, in its communication of 10 July 1996 on the integrated programme in favour of SMEs (2), stressed the absence of a financial instrument to help SMEs which wish to make transnational investments;
(2) Whereas, in its opinion of 31 October 1996 (3), the Economic and Social Committee considered that too few SMEs invest at transnational level and access new markets in other Member States and that this is due to the lack of a suitable financial instrument;
(3) Whereas, on 9 December 1996 in its resolution on the integrated programme (4), the Council asked the Commission to encourage SMEs to set up or develop an activity in another Member State by removing obstacles to cross-border investment and the creation of joint ventures in the European Union;
(4) Whereas the Council, in adopting Decision 97/15/EC, considered that SMEs whose activities span borders should be assisted in overcoming any structural weaknesses;
(5) Whereas, in its conclusions, the Presidency of the Amsterdam European Council of 16 and 17 June 1997 stressed the essential role played by SMEs in the internal market in promoting growth and employment in the Community and invited the Commission to present initiatives concerning the possibility of job creation;
(6) Whereas the European Parliament, in its resolution of 24 May 1996 on the European Observatory for SMEs (5) calls on the Commission to implement measures best suited to strengthening transnational cooperation between SMEs;
(7) Whereas the countries of the European Economic Area have expressed their interest in the initiative;
(8) Whereas SMEs have not benefited sufficiently from the opportunities offered by the internal market and, faced with the globalization of trade, SMEs' traditional markets are shrinking;
(9) Whereas the development of joint ventures between Community SMEs makes it possible to make better use of the opportunities of the internal market, to increase investment and trade and to have a positive impact on employment and economic growth;
(10) Whereas SMEs frequently encounter difficulties in obtaining bank financing for the development of transnational joint ventures because of the higher risk for financial institutions;
(11) Whereas transnational joint ventures promote technology transfer and improve the competitiveness of the partners;
(12) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Committee provided for in Article 4 of Decision 97/15/EC,
Description of the initiative
The initiative covered by this Decision, relating to the 'Joint European Venture` (JEV), shall consist of support for SMEs setting up transnational joint ventures within the Community.
Maximum amount per project and eligible expenses
The Community contribution is intended to cover some of the expenses incurred in setting up a joint venture.
The maximum contribution per project shall be ECU 100 000 covering:
(a) up to 50 % of the eligible expenses, with a maximum of ECU 50 000;
(b) up to 10 % of the total amount of the investment made.
Eligible expenses for the purposes of point (a) are those related to the conception and setting-up of a transnational joint venture created by European SMEs, as defined in Annexes II and I respectively. They include the expenses specified in Annex III and any other expenses which are essential for the setting-up of the joint venture.
Procedures
1. An SME which wishes to make an application under this scheme shall submit it to one of the financial intermediaries in the JEV network, referred to in Article 4. That intermediary shall be entrusted with evaluating the application and, in the event of a favourable opinion, passing it on to the Commission.
2. The Community contribution shall be paid to the SME, through the financial intermediary in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraphs 3 and 4.
3. In the case of the 50 % of the eligible expenses (with a maximum of ECU 50 000), a reimbursable advance of 50 % (maximum ECU 25 000) shall be paid as soon as the application has been accepted by the Commission.
A second payment of 50 % (maximum ECU 25 000) shall be made on presentation of supporting documents for all the expenses incurred and on the basis of a detailed final evaluation report which permits an assessment of the feasibility of the joint venture as well as the investment envisaged. After acceptance of the documents by the Commission, the reimbursable advance will be converted into a grant.
4. With regard to the investment made, a payment limited to 10 % of the amount invested shall be made after completion of the investment and on proof that the new activity has commenced.
5. Any SME benefiting from the third payment (10 % of the investment) must undertake to submit to the Commission, for a period of five years, information on the activities of the joint venture set up and, in particular, on the number of jobs created.
The Commission shall prepare annual reports based on inquiries and, where appropriate, on-site visits.
Selection procedure
Applications shall be sent to the Commission through a network of financial intermediaries comprising institutions specializing in investment financing, to be set up after a call for expressions of interest published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The Commission shall check the eligibility of the applications in the light of the programme objectives, in particular the employment effect.
To allow the initiative referred to in Article 1 to become operational as soon as possible, recourse shall be had initially to the network of financial intermediaries of the JOP programme (6) and the JOP Technical Assistance Unit, which is specialized in monitoring projects. A maximum of 5 % of the budget shall be reserved to cover the external management costs of the initiative. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0.2 |
32005D0578 | 2005/578/: Commission Decision of 27 July 2005 derogating from Council Decision 2001/822/EC as regards the rules of origin for meat of scallops of the genus Placopecten magellanicus from Saint Pierre and Miquelon (notified under document number C(2005) 2819)

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 2005
derogating from Council Decision 2001/822/EC as regards the rules of origin for meat of scallops of the genus Placopecten magellanicus from Saint Pierre and Miquelon
(notified under document number C(2005) 2819)
(2005/578/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (1), and in particular Article 37 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) On 27 April 2005 Saint Pierre and Miquelon requested a seven-year derogation from the rules of origin set out in Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC in respect of an annual quantity of 250 tonnes of fresh and frozen meat of scallops of the genus Placopecten magellanicus, exported from Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
(2) Saint Pierre and Miquelon based its request on the delays in getting scallop farming under way in Miquelon Bay and the fact that local scallop production remains largely based on spat imported from Canada. The spat, shell-on scallops and scallop meat imported from Canada will provisionally replace the supply of raw scallops that the local processing industry currently lacks.
(3) The requested derogation is justified under Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, and in particular Article 37(1) thereof, especially as regards the development of an existing industry in Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The derogation is essential for the preservation of the activity of the plant in question, which employs a significant number of people. Subject to compliance with certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration, the derogation would not cause serious injury to an established industry of the Community or one or more of the Member States.
(4) A derogation should therefore be granted in respect of certain quantities of meat of scallops of the genus Placopecten magellanicus processed in Saint Pierre and Miquelon and imported into the Community.
(5) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) lays down rules for the management of tariff quotas. Those rules should be applied mutatis mutandis to the management of the quantities in respect of which the derogation in question is granted.
(6) In view of the expiry of Decision 2001/822/EC on 31 December 2011, provision should be made to ensure the derogation’s validity beyond that date if a new decision is adopted on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community or if Decision 2001/822/EC is extended.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
By way of derogation from Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, fresh and frozen meat of scallops of the genus Placopecten magellanicus falling with CN code 0307 and described in the Annex which are processed in Saint Pierre and Miquelon shall be regarded as originating in Saint Pierre and Miquelon where they are obtained from non-originating spat, shell-on scallops and scallop meat, in accordance with the terms of this Decision.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the quantities shown in the Annex which are imported into the Community from Saint Pierre and Miquelon during the period from 1 August 2005 to 31 July 2012.
Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 relating to the management of tariff quotas shall apply mutatis mutandis to the management of the quantities referred to in the Annex.
1. The customs authorities of Saint Pierre and Miquelon shall take the necessary steps to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1. To that end, all the certificates they issue pursuant to this Decision shall bear a reference to it.
2. The competent authorities of Saint Pierre and Miquelon shall forward to the Commission every three months a statement of the quantities in respect of which movement certificates EUR 1 have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates.
Box 7 of EUR 1 certificates issued under this Decision shall contain one of the following phrases:
— ‘Derogation — Commission Decision 2005/578/EC’,
— ‘Dérogation — Décision 2005/578/CE de la Commission’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 August 2005 to 31 December 2011.
In the event of the adoption of a new preferential scheme replacing Decision 2001/822/EC beyond 31 December 2011, this Decision shall continue to apply until the date of expiry of this new scheme, though not beyond 31 July 2012.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| Regulation (EC) No 257/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 22 January 2001
regarding the implementation of measures to promote economic and social development in Turkey
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 179 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) Relations between the European Union and Turkey are based mainly on the Association Agreement of 12 September 1963(3) and the decisions of the Association Council which the Association Agreement set up.
(2) Turkey is engaged in substantial reform to improve its economy, restructure and increase the efficiency of its public sector, modernise its economic and social infrastructure and develop its manufacturing sector.
(3) The Cardiff European Council on 15 and 16 June 1998 affirmed the importance it attached to the implementation of the European strategy for Turkey and requested the Commission to table proposals, including proposals on financial matters, in that connection.
(4) Income is unequally distributed across Turkey's provinces and in order to act on the conclusions of the Cardiff European Council it is, in particular, appropriate that these disparities be remedied by backing the development of regions which are lagging behind and by strengthening economic and social cohesion.
(5) The conclusions of the Council meeting of 13 September 1999 referred to financial assistance for Turkey.
(6) The Helsinki European Council of 10 and 11 December 1999 stated that Turkey was a candidate State destined to join the Union on the basis of the same criteria as applied to the other candidate States.
(7) The provisions of this Regulation are based on respect for democratic principles, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and respect for international law, which underpin the policies of the European Community and its Member States, and on the obligations entered into under the various agreements in those fields.
(8) The Community attaches great importance to the need for Turkey to improve and promote its democratic practices and respect for fundamental human rights, and more closely involve civil society in that process.
(9) The European Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions in particular on the importance of respect for human rights in Turkey to the development of close ties between that country and the European Union, namely those of 13 December 1995 on the human rights situation in Turkey, 17 September 1998 on the Commission reports on developments in relations with Turkey since the entry into force of the customs union, 3 December 1998 on the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on the further development of relations with Turkey and on the communication from the Commission to the Council entitled "European strategy for Turkey: the Commission's initial operational proposals" and 6 October 1999 on the state of relations between Turkey and the European Union(4).
(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(11) This Regulation lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial framework constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and Commission(6), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.
(12) The projects and programmes financed with this support must further Turkey's economic and social development, help to promote the defence of human rights and respect for, and the protection of, the country's minorities, and contribute to the reform of its development policies and the restructuring of its institutional and legal framework in order to ensure compliance with these principles.
(13) The projects and programmes financed with this support must benefit above all the population affected by Turkey's development lag,
The Community shall assist Turkey in its efforts to achieve economic and social development.
The financial framework for the implementation of this programme for the period 2000 to 2002 is hereby set at EUR 135 million. The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
1. The beneficiaries of cooperation projects and operations may include not only the Turkish state and regions but also local authorities, regional organisations, public bodies and departments, including the customs administration, local or traditional communities, business support organisations, cooperatives and civil society, in particular associations, foundations and non-governmental organisations.
2. Where an essential element for the continuation of assistance to Turkey is lacking, in particular in the case of violation of democratic principles, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and international law, the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may decide upon appropriate measures.
3. The Commission shall pass information on its indicative programme to the committee referred to in Article 7 ("MED Committee") and to the joint parliamentary committee and the EU-Turkey joint economic and social committee.
1. Cooperation projects and operations may be financed in the following indicative areas:
(a) modernising manufacturing, improving institutional and infrastructure capacity in areas including the environment, energy and transport, excluding the development of nuclear power, especially in earthquake zones;
(b) promotion of industrial cooperation by methods including support for diversification in industry and the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises;
(c) cooperation in telecommunications, infrastructure, rural development and social services;
(d) boosting the capacity of the Turkish economy, inter alia by measures to encourage the restructuring of the country's public sector and private initiative;
(e) cooperation in protecting health;
(f) cooperation in the field of education and training;
(g) regional and cross-border cooperation;
(h) any form of cooperation seeking to defend and promote democracy, the rule of law, human rights, respect for minorities and the protection and recognition of their cultural identity, and support for measures seeking to abolish capital punishment;
(i) any form of cooperation seeking to resolve the Kurdish problem;
(j) cooperation on humanitarian issues;
(k) measures to promote the development of social dialogue within Turkey and between Turkey and the European Union;
(l) all forms of assistance aimed at promoting the development of relations between the European Union and Turkey;
(m) promotion of cooperation between the two parties' public administrations with a view to the approximation of legislation and the training of staff, including customs officers.
2. Where appropriate, measures could be taken to underpin a structural adjustment programme on the basis of the following principles:
(a) support programmes must be tailored as far as possible to Turkey's particular circumstances and take account of economic and social conditions;
(b) support programmes must include measures to alleviate any negative impact of the structural adjustment process in social and employment terms, in particular for the most disadvantaged sectors of the population;
(c) account must be taken of Turkey's economic situation, and in particular regional economic imbalances, its level of indebtedness, debt servicing charges, balance of payments and foreign currency supply, monetary situation, per capita gross domestic product and unemployment level.
1. Financial support under this Regulation shall take the form of grants.
2. The instruments to be employed in the course of the operations covered by this Regulation shall include, within the limits established by the budgetary authority during the annual budget procedure, technical assistance, training or other services, supplies and works, along with audits and evaluation and monitoring missions.
3. Community financing may cover investment, with the exception of the purchase of buildings, and recurring costs (including administrative, maintenance and operational costs), taking account of the fact that the project must aim to have the recurring costs taken over by the beneficiaries.
4. A financial contribution from the partners defined in Article 3 shall be sought for each cooperation operation. The contribution requested shall be within the means of the partners concerned and shall depend on the nature of the operation. In specific cases where the partner is a non-governmental organisation or a community-based organisation, a contribution in kind may be made.
5. Opportunities may be sought for cofinancing with other providers of funds, especially with Member States.
6. The necessary measures shall be taken to emphasise the Community character of the aid provided under this Regulation.
7. In order to achieve the objectives of coherence and complementarity referred to in the Treaty, and with the aim of guaranteeing optimum efficiency for these actions as a whole, the Commission will take all necessary coordination measures, notably:
(a) the establishment of a system for systematic exchange and analysis of information on the planning of operations to be carried out, the approval of each individual operation the financing of which is under consideration by the Community and the Member States, and the development of the operations already approved;

Whereas:
(1) The additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky's disease, and the lists of territories in the Member States which are free from this disease and where approved disease control programmes are in place, are laid down in Commission Decisions 93/24/EEC(3) and 93/244/EEC(4), both last amended by Decision 2000/280/EC(5), and which as from 1 July 2002 will be repealed and replaced by Decision 2001/618/EC(6).
(2) An eradication programme was implemented in some parts of the territory of Germany for Aujeszky's disease, that had been approved by Commission Decision 95/210/EC(7).
(3) In relation to this eradication programme certain additional guarantees relating to Aujeszky's disease for pigs destined for those parts of its territory have been granted to Germany by Commission Decision 95/211/EC(8), amending Decision 93/244/EEC.
(4) Germany considers that the Länder Hessen, Schleswig-Holstein, Saarland, Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin are now free from Aujeszky's disease, and has submitted supporting documentation to the Commission as required in Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EEC.
(5) The programme is regarded to have been successful in eradicating this disease from the Länder concerned.
(6) The authorities of Germany apply, for national movement of pigs, rules at least equivalent to those provided by the additional guarantees laid down in Community legislation.
(7) These additional guarantees must not be requested, however, from Member States or regions of Member States which are themselves regarded as free from Aujeszky's disease.
(8) Commission Decisions 93/24/EEC, 93/244/EEC and 2001/618/EC must be amended to include the Länder Hessen, Schleswig-Holstein, Saarland, Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin in Germany in the list of the territories of the Member States or regions thereof free from Aujeszky's disease, and to remove these Länder from the list of territories where approved disease control programmes are in place.

of 14 February 1997
amending Annex I, II, III and IV of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 211/97 (2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney, whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas, doramectin and cefazolin (for milk) should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas alfaprostol, cefazolin, medroxyprogesterone acetate and propylene glycol should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, cephapirin should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas it appears that maximum residue limits cannot be established for chloroform because residues, at whatever limit, in foodstuffs of animal origin constitute a hazard to the health of the consumer; whereas chloroform should therefore be inserted into Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annex I, II, III and IV of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the sixtieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 provides that import duties may be repaid or remitted in cases where repayment or remission could not be granted under Sections B, C and D of the said Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 because of the failure of the person concerned to comply with procedural requirements, provided that it has been established to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that the other conditions required for repayment or remission have been met and that the circumstances are such that no negligence or deception may be attributed to the person concerned;
Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1575/80 (3) determines the period within which an application for repayment or remission of import duties on the basis of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 shall be lodged; whereas this period is currently fixed at 12 months from the date on which those duties were entered in the accounts by the authority responsible for their collection;
Whereas the periods fixed in Sections B, C and D of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 within which an application for repayment or remission of import duties is to be lodged are respectively three months, 12 months and three months from the date on which those duties were entered in the accounts by the authority responsible for their collection;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/72/EC (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 of Directive 70/524/EEC, a Member State which, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing information made since the provisions in question were adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that the use of one of the additives listed in Annex I constitutes a danger to animal or human health or the environment may temporarily suspend the authorization to use that additive;
Whereas Germany prohibited the use on its territory of ronidazole in turkey feed on 19 January 1996; whereas in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC, on 15 April 1996 Germany notified the other Member States and the Commission of the reasons for its decision, duly substantiated by detailed arguments;
Whereas Germany argued in its notification that it suspected ronidazole of mutagenic, carcinogenic and genotoxic properties and, in view of this worrying situation for the health of consumers, this Member State took the view that its use in animal feed should be banned at Community level;
Whereas in its reasoned argument Germany concluded that the use of ronidazole in animal feed resulted in some residues remaining in animal tissue, even with a six-day withdrawal period in accordance with the rules; whereas in view of the carcinogenic and mutagenic properties that ronidazole as the parent substance might have and the possibility that its nitroimidazole structure might be released from bound residues, a risk to consumer health cannot be ruled out, even where the withdrawal period is complied with;
Whereas the Commission has consulted the Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition; whereas, after thoroughly examining the situation, that Committee has concluded, in the opinion expressed on 26 September 1997 and reinforced on 5 November 1997, that, while ronidazole clearly shows a mutagenic effect on prokaryotic cells, there are no data on its possible genotoxic effect on eukaryotic cells; whereas it was not possible to evaluate conclusively the carcinogenic mechanism because raw data on the experiments into carciongenisis were not available; whereas it is therefore impossible to evaluate the risk to consumers; whereas the data on metronidazole cannot be used to make inferences about ronidazole since chemical substances belonging to the same family may have totally different toxicological properties; whereas information is lacking on the metabolic fate of ronidazole in turkeys, such as the nature of the faecal metabolites, or its presence in various tissues after the withdrawal period; whereas it should be noted, however, that the substantial information available on pigs could be reasonably applied to turkeys, where justified; whereas, on the other hand, the limited amount of data that does exist on the presence of trace quantities of a nitroimidazole compound released chemically from these bound residues is strongly suggestive of analytical artefact;
Whereas the Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition has finally concluded that, while not all the scientific arguments submitted by Germany to prohibit ronidazole can be accepted, some important issues have not been resolved and, in the absence of the additional data, an acceptable daily dose of ronidazole residues cannot be established to ensure consumer safety;
Whereas, in view of the uncertainty still surrounding the safety of ronidazole, its use as an additive in turkey feed should be prohibited to protect consumer health;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
Annex I to Directive 70/524/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 May 1998. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

Whereas Decision 90/424/EEC provides for the possibility of financial participation by the Community in the eradication and surveillance of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia;
Whereas by letter, Portugal has submitted a programme for the eradication of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia;
Whereas after examination of the programme it was found to comply with all Community criteria relating to the eradication of the disease in conformity with Council Decision 90/638/EEC on laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases (3), as amended by Council Directive 92/65/EEC (4);
Whereas this programme appears on the priority list of programmes for the eradication and surveillance of animal diseases which can benefit from financial participation from the Community in 1996 and which was established by Decision 95/434/EC (5);
Whereas in the light of the importance of the programme for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal health, it is appropriate to fix the financial participation of the Community at 50 % of the costs incurred by Portugal up to a maximum of ECU 1 450 000;
Whereas a financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

Whereas the Agreements on free trade provide for certain annual tariff quotas for products made from beef and veal; whereas imports under these quotas qualify for a 60 % reduction in the customs duties set out in the Common Customs Tariff (CCT); whereas it is necessary to lay down detailed rules of application for these quotas for 1996;
Whereas to ensure orderly importation of the quantities set for 1996 these should be staggered over various periods of the year;
Whereas, while the provisions of the abovementioned Agreements which are intended to guarantee the origin of the product should be complied with, the administration of the arrangements should be based on import licences; whereas, to that end, detailed rules should be laid down concerning in particular the submission of applications and the information which must appear in applications and licences, by way of derogation from certain provisions 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 2137/95 (7), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2856/95 (9); whereas provision should also be made for the licences to be issued after a period for consideration and, where necessary, a single percentage should be applied for the reduction;

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 43(f) and (j), in conjunction of Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 (2) lays down that the skimmed milk powder entered into storage before 1 November 2009 is available for sale by tendering procedure. For sake of clarity, it is appropriate to fix the unit of measure to which the proposed price should refer to.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 lays down that the submission of the tenders in response to individual invitations to tender has to be made on the first and the third Tuesday of the month. The current dairy market situation allows reducing the number of individual invitations to tender to once per month.
(3) Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 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 447/2010 is amended as follows:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3670/93 of 22 December 1993 on special arrangements for imports of maize into Portugal (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Portuguese intervention agency (INGA) is to buy 250 000 tonnes of maize on the world market in accordance with the Commission Decision on the purchase of the said maize (3); whereas the INGA should sell this maize on the Portuguese domestic market; whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3670/93, these sales should be effected in such a way as to avoid disturbances on the Portuguese market;
Whereas provision should be made for these sales to be staggered over May and August 1995 in order to avoid disturbing the harvest in Portugal; whereas any maize still remaining at 31 August 1995 should be sold in the following months;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3670/93 provides that the purchase of this maize shall rank as an intervention to stabilize the agricultural markets; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 120/94 (5), lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies; whereas the sales of maize should, however, be carried out at a fixed price, namely the intervention price applicable in May, increased by two monthly increases for sales from August 1995 onwards; whereas it is therefore necessary to derogate from Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93; whereas additional rules are needed for the sale of the imported maize;
Whereas, in view of the price advantage enjoyed by purchasers of the maize held by the INGA, provision should be made for strict control measures and it should be stipulated, in particular, who is authorized to purchase such imported maize;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the sale of maize imported into Portugal does not create difficulties on the Community market, a system of tendering securities and performance guarantees should be introduced and provision should be made whereby the performance guarantee is not to be released until proof has been furnished that the maize in question has been processed or used in Portugal;
Whereas it is essential that Portugal take all the necessary measures which are compatible with Community rules, on the one hand to ensure that this Regulation is properly applied and, on the other hand, to ensure, by introducing effective control arrangements, that the Community market is not disturbed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the Portuguese intervention agency (INGA) shall put up for sale on the Portuguese market 250 000 tonnes of maize purchased in pursuance of the Commission Decision of February 1995.
The sale shall take place in two instalments: the first, of 150 000 tonnes, during May 1995, the second, of 100 000 tonnes, during August 1995 and, where necessary, during the following months, in accordance with the provisions laid down by the INGA.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1361/2008
of 16 December 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 219/2007 on the establishment of a joint undertaking to develop the new generation European air traffic management system (SESAR)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 171 and 172 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Since the establishment of the SESAR Joint Undertaking (Joint Undertaking), Council Regulation (EC) No 71/2008 of 20 December 2007 has set up the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (3), Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2008 of 20 December 2007 set up the ENIAC Joint Undertaking (4), Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2008 of 20 December 2007 set up the Joint Undertaking for the implementation of the Joint Technology Initiative on Innovative Medicines (5), and Council Regulation (EC) No 74/2008 of 20 December 2007 set up the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking to implement a Joint Technology Initiative in Embedded Computing Systems (6). Those Joint Undertakings are bodies set up by the Communities within the meaning of Article 185(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7). Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 of the Council of 29 February 1968 laying down the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of other Servants of the European Communities (8) applies to their staff, and the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities applies to them and to their staff.
(2) As a body set up by the Communities, it is appropriate to align the legal status of the SESAR Joint Undertaking with that of the other newly established Joint Undertakings, in order to ensure that this Joint Undertaking benefits from the same treatment as that afforded to the other newly established Joint Undertakings.
(3) Council Decision 2006/971/EC of 19 December 2006 concerning the specific programme ‘Cooperation’ implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (9) states that research will develop and implement an innovative Air Traffic Management (ATM) system within the context of the SESAR initiative, which will also ensure the most effective coordination of the development of the ATM systems in Europe.
(4) According to the annual work programmes for 2007 and 2008 concerning the Specific Programme ‘Cooperation’, Transport (including aeronautics), implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013), the Commission will provide annual contributions from the Seventh Framework Programme to the SESAR Joint Undertaking for a total estimated amount of EUR 350 million over the entire programme.
(5) The multi-annual work programme for grants in the field of trans-European Transport networks for the period 2007-2013 identifies the SESAR project to modernise ATM in Europe as a major horizontal priority by allocating to it an estimated budget of EUR 350 million over that period.
(6) The Commission estimates that the Community’s contribution to the SESAR Joint Undertaking will be EUR 700 million, which will come in equal parts from the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development and from the Trans-European transport networks programme.
(7) As the Joint Undertaking is a body set up by the Communities, its decision-making process should guarantee the Community’s decision-making autonomy, in particular in respect of; issues having an impact on the strategic orientation of the Joint Undertaking, the Community’s contribution, and the independence and equal treatment of the Joint Undertaking’s staff.
(8) An administrative agreement should be concluded between the SESAR Joint Undertaking and Belgium concerning privileges and immunities and other support to be provided by Belgium to the Joint Undertaking.
(9) In order to ensure the efficient management of the resources provided to the Joint Undertaking for its research activities and to ensure that, as far as possible, the Joint Undertaking receives the same treatment as other comparable undertakings, it is necessary to ensure that the fiscal matters of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities are applied retroactively from an appropriate date.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 219/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,

of 31 October 2002

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 market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to 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(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out 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.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) 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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2002.

(2) Pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1327/2004 a maximum export refund shall be fixed, as the case may be, account being taken in particular of the state and foreseeable development of the Community and world markets in sugar, for the partial invitation to tender in question.

Whereas:
(1) The collection of data on the landings of fishery products by Italian coastal vessels as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 imposes a very heavy workload on the national authorities.
(2) The increased use of sampling techniques would significantly reduce this workload and has been demonstrated by the Italian authorities to significantly increase the quality of the resultant data.
(3) The level of sampling envisaged in this proposed technique exceeds the limit of 10 % by weight of the fishery products provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91.
(4) In accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, in cases where the inclusion of a particular sector of the fisheries of a Member State would cause difficulties to the national authorities incommensurate with the importance of that sector, the Commission may grant a derogation permitting such a Member State to exclude data for that sector from the national data submissions.
(5) Italy should be authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed on condition that resultant estimates of the total weight of landings are of at least an equivalent standard of reliability.
(6) In accordance with Article 5(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, this derogation shall be granted for a maximum of three years.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (2),
Italy is authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed in the reference month foreseen in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91.

Whereas carry-over prices must be established by the paying agencies for intervention products stored under their responsibility and for which the expenditure is to be declared in the annual accounts referred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
The carry-over prices to be used to calculate the value of agricultural products in intervention storage to be carried forward to the 1989 financial year shall be recorded by the paying agencies for agricultural products in public intervention storage under their responsibility at 30 September 1988.

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 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (3) lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention.
(3) Given the current market situation, a standing invitation to tender should be opened for the export of 58 749 tonnes of barley held by the Belgian intervention agency.
(4) Special procedures must be laid down to ensure that the operations and their monitoring are properly effected. To that end, securities should be lodged to ensure that the goals of the operations are achieved without excessive cost to the operators. Derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
(5) To forestall reimportation, exports under this invitation to tender should be limited to certain third countries.
(6) With a view to modernising the management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Belgian intervention agency shall issue a standing invitation to tender for the export of barley held by it in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 58 749 tonnes of barley for export to third countries with the exception of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro (4), Switzerland and the United States of America.

Fax (32-2) 287 25 24
The intervention agency, the storer and the successful tenderer shall, at the request of the latter and by common agreement, either before or at the time of removal from storage as the tenderer chooses, take reference samples for counter-analysis at the rate of at least one sample for every 500 tonnes and shall analyse the samples. The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer's request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences having regard to those criteria do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 64 kg/hl,
— one percentage point as regards moisture content,
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to at B.2 and B.4 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (6),
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to at B.5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, the percentages admissible for noxious grains and ergot remaining unchanged, however.
2. If the final result of the analyses carried out on the samples indicates a quality higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender and the difference exceeds the limits set out in paragraph 1(b), the successful tenderer may:
(a) accept the lot as established, or
(b) refuse to take over the lot concerned.
In the case of paragraph (b), the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
3. Where the final result of sample analyses indicates a quality below the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention, the successful tenderer may not remove the lot in question. The successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
Should the cases mentioned in Article 7(2)(b) and 7(3) arise, the successful tenderer may ask the intervention agency to supply an alternative lot of barley of the requisite quality, at no extra cost. In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer's request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, following successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.
1. If the barley is removed before the results of the analyses provided for in Article 6 are known, all risks shall be borne by the successful tenderer from the time the lot is removed, without prejudice to any means of redress the tenderer might have against the storer.
2. The costs of taking the samples and conducting the analyses provided for in Article 6, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7(3), shall be borne by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for up to one analysis per 500 tonnes, with the exception of the cost of inter-bin transfers. The costs of inter-bin transfers and any additional analyses requested by a successful tenderer shall be borne by that tenderer.

Whereas there are a large number of agricultural holdings in the Community of many different types and the analysis of their situation therefore necessitates the use of an appropriate Community typology;
Whereas this typology should be based on economic criteria concerning the two basic characteristics of the farm namely, its type of farming and its size; (1)OJ No 136, 17.12.1962, p. 2892/62. (2)OJ No 109, 23.6.1965, p. 1859/65. (3)OJ No L 299, 27.10.1973, p. 1. (4)OJ No 112, 24.6.1966, p. 2065/66. (5)OJ No 33, 24.2.1967, p. 524/67. (6)OJ No L 42, 15.2.1975, p. 21.

Whereas the gross margin concept is, in the present state of knowledge, the most suitable for the purpose and can be determined in a standardized form in each region for each farm enterprise;
Whereas the typology in question should be available so that it may be applied both to data from Community surveys on farm structure or statistical censuses and to data from the farm accountancy data network ; whereas it should therefore constitute a common denominator enabling these two sources of information to complement each other;
Whereas this typology should allow the formation of groups of agricultural holdings to be combined or broken down variously according to the analytical requirements, while preserving the necessary coherence between the different levels of classification;
Whereas this typology should be capable of being modified where necessary, in particular in the light of experience and in response to changes in information needs;
Whereas the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision and the measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network of the EEC and the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics,
Article 1
For the purposes of this Decision: (a) "Community typology for agricultural holdings" (hereinafter called "typology") shall mean a uniform classification of farms in the Community based on the type of farming and on the economic size of the holding, so arranged that homogeneous groups of holdings can be assembled in a greater or lesser degree of aggregation.
The type of farming and the economic size of the holding shall be determined on the basis of the standard gross margin.
(b) "Type of farming" shall mean the system of production of a holding determined by the relative contribution of the different enterprises of the said holding to the total standard gross margin of the holding. Depending on the amount of detail required, the types of farming shall be divided into two categories : "principal" and "particular".
(c) "Economic size of the holding" shall mean the total standard gross margin of the holding ; this shall correspond to the sum of the standard gross margins of each of the different enterprises of the holding and shall be expressed as a Community unit of measure.
(d) "Standard gross margin" shall mean the balance between the standard value of production and the standard value of certain direct costs ; this balance expressed for each region shall be determined and applied to each enterprise, either per hectare of agricultural area utilized in the case of crops or per animal in the case of livestock.
1. The standard gross margins shall be as set out in Annex I.
2. The classes for the type of farming shall be as set out in Annex II.
3. The classes for the economic size of the holding shall be as set out in Annex III.
1. The typology shall be designed to meet in particular the information needs of the common agricultural policy.
2. The typology shall be applied whenever due reference is made to this Decision ; in each case the degree of aggregation and of detail required shall be specified.
3. The principal applications of the typology shall be in the collection and presentation of data by type of farming and size group, particularly in connection with Community statistical surveys and censuses and the EEC farm accountancy data network.
Before 31 December 1980, the Commission, in cooperation with the Member States, shall undertake a full review of the typology taking particular account of experience acquired in applying this Decision and of any new Community needs.
Following this review, this Decision shall be amended as necessary.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Community supplies of certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries. It is therefore in the Community's interest to suspend in part or in whole the customs duties for the products in question, in order not to jeopardise the development prospects of the fish production in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries. Council Regulation (EC) No 2803/2000 of 14 December 2000 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products(1) has therefore suspended tariff quota for certain fishery products for a certain period.
(2) The Commission has researched the markets and supply needs of user industries for 2003. Having regard to the requirements of the internal and external policies of the Community, certain new tariff quotas for the products in question should be opened and certain existing quotas should be increased to ensure continuation of Community production.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2803/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2803/2000 shall be amended as follows:
1. the tariff quotas listed in the Annex to this Regulation for the goods and quota periods set out in that Annex shall be added;
2. for the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2003:
(a) the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2785 shall be fixed at 20000 tonnes;
(b) the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2786 shall be fixed at 1500 tonnes;
(c) the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2794 shall be fixed at 7000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 October 2009
amending Decision 2006/1013/EC granting a derogation requested by Germany pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources
(notified under document C(2009) 7703)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(2009/753/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) If the amount of manure that a Member State intends to apply per hectare each year is different from the one specified in the first sentence of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC and in point (a) thereof, that amount has to be fixed so as not to prejudice the achievement of the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Directive and has to be justified on the basis of objective criteria, such as, in the present case, long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake.
(2) On 22 December 2006, the Commission adopted Decision 2006/1013/EC (2) allowing the application of 230 kg nitrogen per hectare per year from livestock manure on intensive grassland fields of specific farms within the framework of the German action programme 2006-2009. The application of nitrogen from livestock manure on the arable crops of these farms may not, however, exceed 170 kg/ha nitrogen per hectare per year.
(3) On 20 February 2009, Germany requested an extension of the derogation.
(4) Based on applications for the period 2007-2008, approximately 700 farms are estimated to request for a derogation corresponding to 16 000 ha of land in the regions of Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
(5) German legislation transposing Directive 91/676/EEC can be considered to be in compliance with Directive 91/676/EEC and its provisions apply equally to the derogation.
(6) Germany, in conformity with paragraph 5 of Article 3 of Directive 91/676/EEC, applies an action programme throughout its whole territory. The action programme for the period 2010-2013 forms part of the Fertiliser Ordinance of 10 January 2006 as amended lastly on 6 February 2009.
(7) Water quality data submitted by Germany with the Fourth Report on the implementation of the Nitrates Directive 2004-2007 show for surface waters a decrease in nitrate concentrations at 85 % of monitoring stations and a stable concentration at 10 % of monitoring stations compared to the period 1991-1994. For groundwater, data from the specific agricultural nitrate monitoring network show that concentrations are decreasing in approximately 55 % of monitoring stations and are stable in approximately 19 % of monitoring stations compared to the period 1991-1994. Analysis of data in areas covered by the derogation shows no significant increase of nitrate concentrations.
(8) The average nitrogen surplus dropped from 120 kg N/ha for the period 1991-1993 until 94 kg N/ha in 2007. The use of nitrogen from manure dropped in the same period from 88 kg N/ha until 76 kg N/ha.
(9) The supporting documents submitted by Germany show that the proposed amount of 230 kg per hectare per year of nitrogen from livestock manure is justified for intensive grassland fields on the basis of objective criteria such as long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake.
(10) The Commission, after examination of the request and in the light of the experience gained from the derogation as provided in Decision 2006/1013/EC, considers that the extension of the derogation will not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC, if the same strict conditions established by Decision 2006/1013/EC are met.
(11) Decision 2006/1013/EC expires on 31 December 2009. For the purpose of ensuring that the farmers concerned may continue to benefit from the derogation, it is appropriate to extend its validity.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Nitrates Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 91/676/EEC,
Article 11 of Decision 2006/1013/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 11
Application
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 2013 in the context of the German Action programme (Fertiliser Ordinance of 10 January 2006).’

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 280/77 (2) and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in the case of liquid polyisobutylene of which the number average molecular weight is about 440 (the average degree of polymerization being about eight), provisions are necessary to ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 of 28 June 1968 (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2560/77 (4), includes petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude, under heading No 27.10 and polymerization products under heading No 39.02;
Whereas liquid polyisobutylene can be regarded as "petroleum oil" for the purposes of heading No 27.10 and Note 3 to Chapter 27, and as a "polymerization product" for the purposes of heading No 39.02 and Note 2 to Chapter 39, according to its characteristics;
Whereas the characteristics of liquid polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of about 440 correspond more closely to those of a polymerization product under heading No 39.02 than to those of a petroleum oil under heading No 27.10;
Whereas within heading No 39.02 the said product should be classified under subheading 39.02 C V;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Liquid polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of approximately 440 (the degree of polymerization being approximately eight) shall be classified under the following subheading of the Common Customs Tariff:
"39.02 Polymerization and copolymerization products (for example, polyethylene, polytetrahaloethylenes, polyisobutylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloroacetate and other polyvinyl derivatives, polyacrylic and polymethacrylic derivatives, coumarone-indene resins):

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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to 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(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out 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.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) 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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 2 August 2002.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2010/23/EU
of 16 March 2010
amending Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax, as regards an optional and temporary application of the reverse charge mechanism in relation to supplies of certain services susceptible to fraud
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 2006/112/EC (3) specifies that value added tax (VAT) shall be payable by any taxable person carrying out transactions involving the taxable supply of goods and services. In the case of cross-border transactions, and for certain domestic high-risk sectors such as construction or waste, it is foreseen, however, to shift the obligation to pay VAT onto the person to whom the supply is made.
(2) Given the seriousness of VAT fraud, Member States should be allowed to apply, on a temporary basis, a mechanism whereby the obligation to pay VAT shifts onto the person to whom allowances to emit greenhouse gases, as defined in Article 3 of Directive 2003/87/EC (4), and other units that may be used for compliance with the same Directive, are transferred.
(3) The introduction of such a mechanism targeting these services, which according to recent experience are particularly susceptible to fraud, as opposed to its general application, should not adversely affect the fundamental principles of the VAT system, such as fractionated payments.
(4) Member States should produce an evaluation report on the application of the mechanism so as to enable an assessment of its efficiency.
(5) In order to assess the effect of the application of the mechanism on fraudulent activities in a transparent manner, evaluation reports by Member States should be based on pre-defined criteria established by Member States. Any such evaluation should clearly assess the level of fraud before and after the application of the mechanism and any consequent shifts in trends of fraudulent activities, including supplies of other services. The report should also evaluate compliance costs for taxable persons.
(6) Each Member State that has detected a shift in trends of fraudulent activities in its territory in relation to the services under this Directive should produce a report in that respect.
(7) In order to provide all Member States with the option of applying such a mechanism, a specific amendment to Directive 2006/112/EC is necessary.
(8) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to address VAT fraud through a temporary measure which derogates from existing Union rules, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(9) Directive 2006/112/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Directive 2006/112/EC the following Article shall be inserted:
‘Article 199a
1. Member States may, until 30 June 2015 and for a minimum period of two years, provide that the person liable for payment of VAT is the taxable person to whom any of the following supplies are made:
(a) the transfer of allowances to emit greenhouse gases as defined in Article 3 of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community (5), transferable in accordance with Article 12 of that Directive;
(b) the transfer of other units that may be used by operators for compliance with the same Directive.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of the application of the mechanism provided for in paragraph 1 on the introduction of any such mechanism and shall provide the following information to the Commission:
(a) a statement on the scope of the measure applying the mechanism and a detailed description of accompanying measures, including any reporting obligations on taxable persons and any control measures;
(b) evaluation criteria to enable comparison between fraudulent activities in relation to the services listed in paragraph 1 before and after the application of the mechanism, fraudulent activities in relation to other services before and after the application of the mechanism, and any increase in other types of fraudulent activities before and after the application of the mechanism;
(c) the date of commencement and the period to be covered by the measure applying the mechanism.
3. Member States applying the mechanism provided for in paragraph 1 shall, on the basis of the evaluation criteria provided for under paragraph 2(b), submit a report to the Commission no later than 30 June 2014. The report shall clearly indicate the information to be treated as confidential and the information which may be published.
The report shall provide a detailed assessment of the measure’s overall effectiveness and efficiency, in particular as regards:
(a) the impact on fraudulent activities in relation to supplies of services covered by the measure;
(b) the possible shift of fraudulent activities to goods or other services;
(c) the compliance costs for taxable persons resulting from the measure.
4. Each Member State that has detected, as from the entry into force of this Article, a shift in trends of fraudulent activities in its territory in relation to the services listed in paragraph 1, shall submit a report to the Commission in that respect no later than 30 June 2014.
Member States choosing to apply the mechanism provided for in Article 199a paragraph 1 of Directive 2006/112/EC shall communicate the provisions of the measure applying the mechanism to the Commission when the mechanism commences.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The Directive shall apply until 30 June 2015.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
This Directive shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2704/1999(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 lays down that, to qualify for area payments for cereals, protein crops and linseed under the support system for certain arable crops, producers must have sown the seed at the latest by 31 May preceding the relevant harvest.
(2) Because of particularly severe weather conditions this year, the final dates for sowing seeds fixed in several Member States cannot be complied with in all cases. Consequently, the final date for sowing cereals and/or oilseeds and/or linseed for the 2000/01 marketing year should, where necessary, be deferred for certain specific regions. In order to do so, a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 should be laid down as permitted by the 11th indent of Article 9 of that Regulation.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The final dates for sowing for the 2000/01 marketing year are fixed in the Annex for the crops, Member States and regions indicated.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 31 May 2000.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 997/95 (2), and in particular Article 23 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 553/95 (4), introduces a mechanism for recording prices on the representative markets with a view to fixing a standard import value in order to determine the value of products imported on consignment so that they can be classified in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, in the case of certain fresh products imported for processing, separate entry prices apply from 1 May and, for such products, which are not sold on consignment on the representative markets, a direct price recording mechanism may be used for their tariff classification; whereas the said mechanism may involve only the tariff classification of the products concerned on the basis either of the fob price of the products, plus the costs of insurance and freight up to the borders of the Community customs territory, or of the customs value referred to in Article 30 (2) (c) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (5), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden;
Whereas, if the customs authorities consider that a security is required pursuant to Article 248 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3254/94 (7), they must require an amount equal to the maximum amount of duty applicable to the product in question to be lodged; whereas, if the importer chooses to classify his products on the basis of the customs value referred to in Article 30 (2) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, he must lodge a security equal to the maximum amount of duty applicable to the product in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The words 'the Annex` in Articles 2, 4, 5 and 6 are replaced by 'Part A of the Annex`.
2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
3. The following paragraph is inserted after Article 5 (1):
'1a. The entry price on the basis of which the products listed in part B of the Annex are classified in the customs tariff of the European Communities must be equal, as the importer chooses:
(a) either to the fob price of the products in their country of origin plus the costs in insurance and freight up to the borders of the Community customs territory, where that price and those costs are known at the time the customs declaration is made.
If the customs authorities deem that a security is required pursuant to Article 248 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the importer must lodge a security equal to the maximum amount of duty applicable to the product in question;
(b) or to the customs value calculated in accordance with Article 30 (2) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 applied only to the imported products in question. In that case, the duty shall be deducted as provided for in Article 4 (1).
In that case the importer must lodge the security referred to in Article 248 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, equal to the maximum amount of duty applicable to the product in question.` 4. The first subparagraph of Article 5 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. The importer shall have one month from the sale of the products in question, subject to a limit of four months from the date of acceptances of the declaration of release for free circulation, to prove that the lot was disposed of under conditions confirming the correctness of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 (a) or paragraph 1a (a), or to determine the customs value referred to in paragraph 1 (b) and paragraph 1a (a). Failure to meet one or other of these deadlines shall entail the loss of the security lodged, without prejudice to the application of paragraph 3.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 May 1995.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1787/2006
of 4 December 2006
amending Commission Regulation (EC) 809/2004 implementing Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards information contained in prospectuses as well as the format, incorporation by reference and publication of such prospectuses and dissemination of advertisements
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading and amending Directive 2001/34/EC (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (2) requires companies governed by the law of a Member State, whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State, to prepare their consolidated accounts in accordance with adopted international accounting standards, now commonly referred to as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for each financial year starting on or after 1 January 2005.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 of 29 April 2004 implementing Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards information contained in prospectuses as well as the format, incorporation by reference and publication of such prospectuses and dissemination of advertisements (3) requires that the historical financial information provided by third country issuers in prospectuses for offer of securities to the public or the admission of securities to trading on a regulated market be prepared in accordance with IFRS adopted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 or with the national accounting standards of a third country equivalent to these standards. If historical financial information was not drawn up in accordance with such standards it must be presented in the prospectus in the form of restated financial statements.
(3) However, Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 contains transitional provisions which, in certain limited cases, exempt third country issuers from the obligation to restate historical financial information which was not drawn up in accordance with either IFRS or accounting standards of a third country equivalent to IFRS. Under those transitional provisions, the obligation to restate historical financial information does not apply to any prospectus filed before 1 January 2007 by a third country issuer which has either prepared its historical financial information in accordance with internationally accepted standards, or which has prepared its historical financial information in accordance with the national accounting standards of a third country and has securities admitted to trading on a regulated market before that date. In the latter case, if the historical financial information does not give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the issuer, that information must also be supplemented by such more detailed or additional information as is necessary to ensure that a true and fair view is given.
(4) Under Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 as currently drafted, those transitional exemptions will no longer apply in respect of prospectuses filed from 1 January 2007, and historical financial information which is not presented in accordance with either IFRS or equivalent third country accounting standards will have to be restated.
(5) Since the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 many countries have adopted IFRS directly into their national accounting standards. This clearly demonstrates that one of the aims of this Regulation — namely to encourage the increasing convergence of accounting standards so that IFRS are accepted internationally and are truly global standards — is being fulfilled. Accordingly, it is appropriate that third country issuers should be exempt from the obligation to restate historical financial information prepared in accordance with national accounting standards, or to provide a narrative description of differences as referred to in Article 1(2)(5A) hereof, if, in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, they contain an explicit and unreserved statement that they comply with IFRS.
(6) In its advice delivered in June 2005, the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), established by Commission Decision 2001/527/EC (4), considered that the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of Canada, Japan and the United States, each taken as a whole, are equivalent to IFRS adopted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002, subject to remedies, such as additional disclosures and in some instances supplementary financial statements.
(7) In January 2005, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) announced their agreement to launch a joint project to reduce differences between IFRS and Japanese GAAP and launched a joint work programme in March 2005 towards the convergence of Japanese GAAP with IFRS. In January 2006, the Accounting Standards Board of Canada publicly stated its objective to move to a single set of globally accepted high-quality standards for public companies and concluded that this objective is best accomplished by converging Canadian accounting standards with IFRS within five years. In February 2006, the IASB and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board published a memorandum of understanding which outlines a work programme for convergence between IFRS and US GAAP with a view to fulfilling one of the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) conditions that need to be met before it will lift the reconciliation requirement for foreign issuers using IFRS that are registered with the SEC, by 2009 at the latest.
(8) It is important, however, that the quality of the principle-based IFRS financial reporting is preserved, that the IFRS standards are consistently implemented, that appropriate legal certainty is provided for companies and investors and that equal treatment of financial statements on a worldwide basis is offered to EU companies. The future assessment of equivalence should be based on a detailed technical and objective analysis of the differences between IFRS and third country accounting standards, as well as on the concrete implementation of these GAAPs compared to IFRS. The progress of the convergence process should be closely examined before any decision on equivalence is taken.
(9) In light of the efforts of the accounting standard setters in Canada, Japan and the United States to converge with IFRS, it is appropriate to grant the transitional provisions provided for in Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 to exempt third country issuers from an obligation to restate historical financial information which was drawn up in accordance with the accounting standards of Canada, Japan or the United States, or (as the case may be) to provide a narrative description of differences, for a further maximum two year period while standard setters and regulators pursue an active dialogue, the convergence process continues and the progress report is completed.
(10) Whilst many countries have adopted IFRS directly into their national GAAP, other countries are converging national GAAP to IFRS over a period of time. In the light of this, it is appropriate, for a maximum two year transitional period, also to exempt such third country issuers from restating historical financial information or (as the case may be) from providing a narrative description of differences, provided that the national authority responsible has made a public commitment to this effect and established a work programme. In order to ensure that the exemption is available only in cases where these conditions are satisfied, the third country issuer should be required to provide evidence that satisfies the competent authority that the national authority has made a public statement and established a work programme. To ensure consistency within the Community, CESR should coordinate the competent authorities' assessment as to whether those conditions are satisfied in respect of individual third country GAAPs.
(11) During that two year period, the Commission should not only pursue an active dialogue with the relevant third country authorities but also closely monitor the progress in the convergence between IFRS and the GAAPs of Canada, Japan, the United States, and other third countries that have established a convergence programme, in order to ensure that it is in a position to take a decision on equivalence at least six months before 1 January 2009. In addition, the Commission will actively monitor ongoing progress in the work by the relevant third country authorities to eliminate any requirement for Community issuers accessing the financial markets of a third country to reconcile financial statements prepared using IFRS. At the end of the additional transitional period, the decision of the Commission will have to be such that community and non-EU issuers should be on equal footing.
(12) The Commission should keep the European Securities Committee and the European Parliament regularly informed of the progress made towards the elimination of reconciliation obligations and of the process towards convergence. Accordingly, the Commission shall report to the European Securities Committee and the European Parliament before 1 April 2007 on the timetable envisaged by national accounting authorities of Canada, Japan and the United States for the convergence. In addition, before 1 April 2008 and after consulting CESR, the Commission should report to the European Securities Committee and the European Parliament on the evaluation of the GAAPs of third countries used by issuers which are not required to restate historical information or (as the case may be) to provide a narrative description of differences included in a prospectus filed with a competent authority before 1 January 2009. Lastly, before 1 January 2008, and after appropriate consultation with CESR, the Commission should ensure that there is a definition of equivalence which is used for the determination of the equivalence of third country GAAP, on the basis of an equivalence mechanism set up to that end.
(13) Accordingly, it is appropriate to amend Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 so that third country issuers are not required to restate historical financial information or (as the case may be) to provide a narrative description of differences in the cases described during a maximum period of two years so that further dialogue can take place. In all other cases, third country issuers should be subject to the obligation to restate their historical financial information in accordance with adopted IFRS, or (in appropriate cases) to provide a narrative description of differences, in any prospectus filed with a competent authority on or after 1 January 2007.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,
Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 is amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 5 is replaced by the following:
2. The following paragraphs 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D and 5E are inserted:
(a) the notes to the financial statements that form part of the historical financial information contain an explicit and unreserved statement that they comply with International Financial Reporting Standards in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements;
(b) the historical financial information is prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of either Canada, Japan or the United States of America;
(c) the historical financial information is prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of a third country other than Canada, Japan or the United States of America, and the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the third country authority responsible for the national accounting standards in question has made a public commitment, before the start of the financial year in which the prospectus is filed, to converge those standards with International Financial Reporting Standards;
(ii) that authority has established a work programme which demonstrates the intention to progress towards convergence before 31 December 2008; and
(iii) the issuer provides evidence that satisfies the competent authority that the conditions in (i) and (ii) are met.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 63 and 106 (3) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereal the establishment of the common market requires that restrictions on transfers between residents of Member States should be abolished as quickly and as widely as possible;
Whereas in respect of transfers relating to the invisible transactions set out in Annex III to the Treaty which are not governed by the provisions of Article 106 (1) and (2) or by the Chapter on freedom of movement of capital, a very high level of liberalisation has already been achieved in Member States;
Whereas, on these grounds and taking into account the economic situation of Member States, the liberalisation of transfers relating to all the relevant transactions in the form of a general permission or at least of the issue of any foreign exchange authorisations that may be required already appears possible at the present stage of the transitional period;
1. Member States shall grant all foreign exchange authorisations required for transfers between residents of Member States relating to the invisible transactions set out in the Annex to this Directive.
2. Member States shall enable transfers relating to such transactions to be made at the exchange rates ruling for payments relating to current transactions.
1. The provisions of this Directive shall not restrict the right of Member States to verify the nature and genuineness of the transactions or transfers and to take all requisite measures to prevent infringements of their laws and regulations.
2. Member States shall simplify, as far as possible, the authorisation and control formalities applicable to transfers and shall where necessary consult one another with a view to such simplification.
Member States shall, within five months of notification of this Directive, put into force the measures required to comply with its provisions and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1163/2002(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1324/2002(5), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2703/94 (2) and in particular Articles 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas levamisole should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas 176-oestradiol should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90; whereas by extrapolation of scientific data this classification into Annex II shall apply to all food-producing animals;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, spectinomycin should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorizations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Veterinary Medicinal Products Sector,
Annexes I, II and III of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

(notified under document number C(2008) 28)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/61/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular points (1) and (4) of Article 8 and Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1979 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) provides that imports of those animals and meat are to meet the requirements set out in the appropriate model certificates drawn up under that Decision.
(2) Since 2003, deficiencies with regards to Community import requirements for bovine meat have been identified during Commission missions to Brazil. Some of these deficiencies have been addressed by Brazil, but recent Commission missions have nonetheless identified serious instances of non-compliance with regard to holding registration, animal identification and movement control and a failure to respect their previous commitments to take the appropriate corrective measures.
(3) It is only possible to allow imports to continue on a secure basis by strengthtening the control and surveillance of holdings from which animals eligible for export to the Community are sourced and by establishing a provisional list of such approved holdings drawn up by Brazil, for which guarantees are provided that they fully meet requirements for imports of fresh de-boned and matured bovine meat to the Community, which are audited and inspected and for which full reports of audits and inspections are made available to the Commission.
(4) The Commission services carry out inspections in the framework of the Food and Veterinary Office operations in third countries in order to verify that the European Union import requirements are met in the listed holdings.
(5) The provisional list of holdings may be reviewed after informing the Commission in the light of the outcome of these inspections. That list of approved holdings should be made publicly available through the Commission integrated computerised veterinary system Traces for information purposes.
(6) It is necessary to provide in the list of third countries allowed to export fresh meat to the Community in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC that only fresh de-boned and matured bovine meat obtained from animals slaughtered after the date of entry into force of this Decision may be accepted for import into the Community, as only with regards to such meat the new requirements concerning approved holdings can be guaranteed. At the same time it is opportune to correct an error in that table.
(7) The list of third countries in Part 1 of Annex II and the certificate model ‘BOV’ in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) In order to avoid disruption of trade, consignments of fresh de-boned and matured bovine meat certified and dispatched before the entry into force of this Decision should be allowed for import into the Community for a specified period.
(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,
In the list of third countries laid down in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC, the line of the territory ‘BR-Brazil’ is replaced by the following:
BR — Brazil ‘BR-0 Whole country EQU
BR-1 Part of the State of Minas Gerais (except regional delegations of Oliveira, Passos, São Gonçalo de Sapucai, Setelagoas and Bambuí);

2. After note (18) the following note (19) is added:
‘(19) The list of approved holdings provided by the competent authority is reviewed on a regular basis and kept up to date by the competent authority. The Commission will ensure that this list of approved holdings is made publicly available for information purposes through its integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).’
Consignments of fresh de-boned and matured bovine meat for which veterinary certificates were issued in accordance with Decision 79/542/EEC before the amendments introduced by the present Decision with an issue date prior to 31 January 2008 and which were en route to the Community at that date may be imported into the Community until 15 March 2008.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for the uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provision should be made for the tariff classification of a product, consisting of a liquid copolymer with a degree of polymerization of six to eight, containing isobutylene units (about 60 %), and but-1-ene and but-2-ene units (about 40 %) and having undergone full hydrogenation;
Whereas heading No 39.02 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3000/82 (3), refers to polymerization and copolymerization products; whereas, within this heading, sub- heading 39.02 C XIV a) refers inter alia to liquid polymerization and copolymerization products which are not included in previous subheadings;
Whereas the product in question displays the characteristics of a copolymerization product; whereas, within heading No 39.02, subheading 39.02 C XIV a) should be selected;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature.
The product consisting of a liquid copolymer with a degree of polymerization of six to eight, containing isobutylene units (about 60 %), and but-1-ene and but-2-ene units (about 40 %) and having undergone full hydrogenation, shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under subheading:
39.02 Polymerization and copolymerization products (for example, polyethylene, polytetrahaloethylenes, polyisobutylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloroacetate, and other polyvinyl derivatives, polyacrylic and polymethacrylic derivatives, coumarone-indene resins):

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 July 2005.

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in the Netherlands, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat have been adopted for that Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 924/97 (4);
Whereas the Dutch authorities, with a view to combating classical swine fever more effectively, introduced a ban on the transport of pigs in the southern Netherlands; whereas pigs originating in that zone are subject to veterinary and trading restrictions; whereas that zone should be included, with effect from 23 May 1997, in the exceptional market support measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 413/97;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
'Article 2

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Union, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96(3) lays down that the quota fixed for granting production aid for products processed from tomatoes is to be shared out each year among the Member States; for the 1999/2000 marketing year this apportionment is to be calculated on the basis of the average quantities produced in compliance with minimum prices during 1997/1998 and 1998/1999; from 2000/2001 onwards it is to be based on the average quantities produced during the three marketing years preceding the marketing year for which the allocation is made;
(2) In Portugal the 1997/1998 marketing year was characterised by extremely unfavourable weather conditions which led to an unusually sharp fall in production; an allocation of quotas on the basis of this unusually low production in Portugal would not take account of the production potential in this Member State under normal weather conditions;
(3) Exceptionally, for the two marketing years concerned by the unusual fall in production of tomatoes for processing - 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 - only, Portugal should be given an additional quota for the production of tomato concentrates to make up for the loss of quota resulting from the abnormal conditions in 1997/1998 without injuring producers in the other Member States; this additional quantity should be fixed at 83468 tonnes for 1999/2000 and calculated, for 2000/2001, by replacing the quantity actually processed during the 1997/1998 marketing year by the quantity of 884592 tonnes originally allocated to Portugal;
(4) This Regulation concerns the 1999/2000 marketing year; this marketing year started on 15 June 1999; this Regulation should apply from that date,
The following paragraph shall be inserted in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96:
"3a. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, an additional quantity of fresh tomatoes intended for the production of concentrate shall be allocated to Portugal for 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. This quantity shall be:
- 83468 tonnes for 1999/2000, and
- for 2000/2001, the difference between the quantity calculated in accordance with paragraph 3 and that calculated by replacing the quantity of fresh tomatoes used in Portugal for the production of concentrate in the 1997/1998 marketing year by 884592 tonnes.
The volume of fresh tomatoes referred to in paragraph 1 and the quantity of fresh tomatoes intended for the production of concentrate referred to in the first indent of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 shall be increased, for these two marketing years concerned, by the additional quantity allocated to Portugal."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 June 1999.

Whereas Directive 70/220/EEC lays down the limit values for carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbon emissions from the engines of such vehicles; whereas these limit values were first reduced by Directive 74/290/EEC(8) and supplemented, in accordance with Directive 77/102/EEC(9) by limit values for permissible emissions of nitrogen oxides; whereas the limit values for these three types of pollution were successively reduced by Directives 78/665/EEC(10) , 83/351/EEC(11) and 88/76/EEC(12) , limit values for particulate pollutant emissions from diesel engines were introduced by Directive 88/436/EEC(13) and more stringent European standards for the emissions of gaseous pollutants of cars below 1 400 cm3 by Directive 89/458/EEC(14) ; whereas these standards have been extended to all cars independently of their engine capacity on the basis of an improved European test procedure including an extra-urban driving cycle and requirements relating to the evaporative emissions and to the durability of emission-related vehicle components as well as more stringent particulate pollutant standards for cars equipped with diesel engines which were introduced by Directive 91/441/EEC;
Whereas the stringent European standards apply only to passenger cars designed to carry no more than six occupants and having a maximum mass of not more than 2 500 kg; whereas the transitional provisions relating to the other vehicle categories covered by Directive 70/220/EEC, in particular to light commercial vehicles, provide for less stringent standards;
Whereas the environmental impact of the more stringent standards would be greatly increased and speeded up if the Member States were to grant tax incentives for the purchase of new vehicles which comply in advance with the standards set out in this Directive;
Whereas it is generally agreed that future transport developments in the Community will be accompanied by an increase in pollution of the environment; whereas hitherto official forecasts of increases in traffic density have been exceeded by actual developments; whereas, therefore, very stringent exhaust emission standards must be laid down for all motor vehicles;
Whereas a special R & D effort to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles may be a decisive factor in improving the competitiveness of the European motor industry;
Whereas the Commission has the task of regularly evaluating the latest scientific progress enabling the permitted limit values for air pollution from motor vehicles to be lowered and allowing the appropriate reduction measures to be proposed after consultation with the Motor Vehicle Emissions Group;
Whereas in the next stage to reduce limit values for light commercial vehicles, and subject to appropriate technical evaluation, vehicle categories II and III could be amalgamated and specific limit values applying to the control of production conformity should be deleted;
Whereas the work undertaken by the Commission in this field has shown that Community industry has available, or is currently perfecting, technologies which allow thevehicles concerned by this Directive to comply with standards which are as severe as those for passenger cars taking into account the specific conditions of such vehicles; whereas the proposed standard should be implemented as soon as possible in order to ensure the consistency of the measures taken by the Community against air pollution by road traffic,
Annexes I, III, IV, V and IX to Directive 70/220/EEC are hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. As from 1 October 1993 no Member State may, on grounds relating to air pollution by their emissions:
- refuse to grant EEC type-approval, to issue the document referred to in the last indent of Article 10 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC, or to grant national type-approval for a type of motor vehicle, or
- prohibit the initial entry into service of motor vehicles,
if emissions from that type of motor vehicle or from such vehicles meet the provisions of Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
2. From 1 October 1993 Member States:
- may no longer grant EEC type-approval or issue the document provided for in the last indent of Article 10 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC for a type of motor vehicle,
- must refuse national type-approval for a type of motor vehicle,
the emissions from which do not meet the requirements of the Annexes to Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
3. From 1 October 1994 Member States shall prohibit the initial entry into service of vehicles the emissions from which do not meet the requirements of the Annexes to Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
Member States may make provision for tax incentives only in respect of motor vehicles which comply with this Directive. Such incentives must comply with the provisions of the Treaty and, in addition, must meet the following conditions:
- they must apply all new vehicles which are offered for sale on the market of a Member State and which meet, in advance, the requirements of this Directive,
- they shall cease upon the dates set in Article 2 (3) for the compulsory entry into force of the emission values for new vehicles,
- they shall be of a value, for each type of vehicle, substantially lower than the actual cost of the equipment fitted to meet the values set and of its fitting on the vehicle.
The Commission shall be informed of any plans to introduce or amend the tax incentives referred to in the first subparagraph in sufficient time of allow it to submit comments.
The Council, acting under the conditions laid down in the Treaty, shall decide before 31 December 1994, on a proposal which the Commission will submit before 31 December 1993 on a further reduction in limit values.
The reduced limit values shall not apply until 1 January 1996 for new type-approvals of vehicles of category I and not until 1 January 1997 for vehicles of categories II and III as specified in the table in item 5.3.1.4 of Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive; they may serve as a basis for tax incentives as from the adoption of the new Directive.
The increased limit values for control of production (as specified in the table under item 7.1.1 of Annex I) shall cease to apply from the dates of application of the reduced limit values laid down in the second paragraph.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 September 1993. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 21,222/100 kg.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 187 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1101/2014 (2) provides for amendments in CN codes for dairy products of Chapter 4 with effect from 1 January 2015.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (3) lays down detailed rules as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas. To reflect amendments in CN codes for dairy products, it is necessary to update Annexes I, II and VIIa to that Regulation.
(3) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 refers to CN codes which are deleted with effect from 1 January 2015. Moreover, Annex 3, relating to concessions regarding cheeses, to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (4), approved by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission (5), provides for the full liberalisation of the bilateral trade in cheeses as from 2007. That provision is therefore obsolete and should be deleted.
(4) Article 19a(1)(c) and (4)(c) relating to Part 3 of Annex VIIa to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 and Article 20(1)(a)(ii) relating to Part C of Annex II to that Regulation concern respectively a cheese tariff quota and preferential imports in application of the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part (6), approved by Council Decision 2004/441/EC (7). Those provisions refer to CN codes which are deleted with effect from 1 January 2015. Since the corresponding quota period and import duty elimination period have expired, it is appropriate to delete those provisions.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 is amended as follows:
(1) In Article 4, paragraph 2 is deleted;
(2) In Article 19a, paragraphs 1(c) and 4(c) are deleted;
(3) In Article 20, paragraph (1)(a)(ii) is deleted;
(4) Annex I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;
(5) Annex II is amended as follows:
(a) Part B is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Regulation;
(b) Part C is deleted;
(6) Annex VIIa is amended as follows:
(a) Part 3 is deleted;
(b) Part 4 is replaced by the text in Annex III to this Regulation.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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), and in particular Article 9(4) 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 animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in birds, including poultry. Infections with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry cause two main forms of that disease that are distinguished by their virulence. The low pathogenic form generally only causes mild symptoms, while the highly pathogenic form results in very high mortality rates in most poultry species. That disease may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) Avian influenza is mainly found in birds, but under certain circumstances infections can also occur in humans even though the risk is generally very low.
(3) In the event of an outbreak of avian influenza, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other holdings where poultry or other captive birds are kept. As a result it may spread from one Member State to other Member States or to third countries through trade in live birds or their products.
(4) Council Directive 2005/94/EC (3) sets out certain preventive measures relating to the surveillance and the early detection of avian influenza and the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of that disease in poultry or other captive birds. That Directive provides for the establishment of protection and surveillance zones in the event of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
(5) Italy notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 in a holding on its territory where poultry or other captive birds are kept and it immediately took the measures required pursuant to Directive 2005/94/EC, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones, which should be defined in Parts A and B of the Annex to this Decision.
(6) The Commission has examined those measures in collaboration with Italy, and it is satisfied that the borders of those zones established by the competent authority in that Member State are at a sufficient distance to the actual holding where the outbreak was confirmed.
(7) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to rapidly define those zones established in Italy at Union level and to provide that no consignments of live poultry, ready-to-lay poultry, day-old chicks and hatching eggs are dispatched from those zones to other Member States or to third countries.
(8) Accordingly, the protection and surveillance zones in Italy, where the animal health control measures as laid down in Directive 2005/94/EC are applied, should be defined in this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Italy shall ensure that the protection and surveillance zones established in accordance with Article 16(1) of Directive 2005/94/EC comprise at least the areas listed in Parts A and B of the Annex to this Decision.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2865/94 of 25 November 1994 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Belgium
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Belgium, protection and surveillance zones have been established by the Belgian authorities pursuant to Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3), as last amended by Decision 93/384/EEC (4); whereas, consequently, in these zones the trade in live pigs, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products which have not been subjected to heat treatment is temporarily prohibited;
Whereas restrictions on the free movement of goods resulting from the application of veterinary measures are likely to bring about a serious distrubance of the pigmeat market in Belgium; whereas exceptional market support measures, to apply for no longer than is strictly necessary, must accordingly be adopted with respect solely to live animals from the affected areas;
Whereas, with the aim of preventing a further spread of the disease, the pigs produced in the said zones should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption, while giving the Belgian authorities the opportunity to organize buying-in according to the needs resulting from the veterinary and sanitary situation in the affected zones;
Whereas a buying-in price should be fixed at which piglets and live pigs in the protection and surveillance zones are to be taken over by the intervention agency; whereas the locations where the animals can be killed should be specified;
Whereas in view of the extent of the disease and, in particular, of its duration, and consequently of the magnitude of the efforts needed to support the market, in would be appropriate for such efforts to be shared by the Community and the Member State concerned;
Whereas provision should be made for the Belgian authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures and to inform the Commission accordingly;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of live pigs have been operative for several weeks now in the zones in question, provoking a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and consequently leading to an intolerable situation where the welfare of the animals is concerned; whereas retroactive application of this Regulation from 14 November 1994 as regards the purchase of fattened pigs and from 25 October 1994 for the purchase of piglets, is therefore justified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. From 25 Ocotber 1994 the Belgian intervention agency shall, according to the needs resulting from the veterinaty and sanitary situation, buy piglets falling under CN code 0103 91 10 weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch.
2. From 14 November 1994 the Belgian intervention agency shall, according to the needs resulting from the veterinary and sanitary situation, buy live fattened pigs falling under CN code 0103 92 19 weighing 110 kilogrems or more on average per batch.
3. The purchase of the first 35 000 live fattened pigs and first 38 500 piglets shall be financed from the Community budget.
4. Belgium is hereby authorized to purchase, in addition, at its own expense and on the terms laid down in this Regulation, a further 15 000 live fattened pigs and 16 500 piglets.
Only live fattened pigs and piglets raised in the zones listed in the annex to this Regulation can be bought in, provided that the veterinary provisions laid down by the Belgian authorities apply in the areas on the day the animals are bought in.
On the day they are bought in, the animals shall be weighed and killed, either on the farm, at collection centres, or at a rendering plant, in such a way as to prevent the disease from spreading.
In exceptional cases and if the veterinary situation requires it, the fattened pigs may be killed in an abattoir, once the Commission has been advised.
They shall be transported without delay to a rendering plant and processed into products falling with CN codes 1501 00 11, 1506 00 00 and 2301 10 00.
These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent Belgian authorities.
1. The farm-gate buying-in price of live fattened pigs weighing 110 kilograms or more on average per batch shall be ECU 106 per 100 kilograms slaughtered weight. Where the average weight per batch is less than 110 kilograms but more than 102 kilograms, the buying-in price shall be ECU 90/100 kg. In both cases, a coefficient of 0,83 is applied on the buying-in price.
2. The farm-gate buying-in price for piglets shall be:
- ECU 19 per head for piglets weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch, but less than 23 kilograms,
- ECU 25 per head for piglets weighing 23 kilograms or more on average per batch, but less than 25 kilograms,
- ECU 29 per head for piglets weighing 25 kilograms or more on average per batch, but less than 26 kilograms,
- ECU 31 per head for piglets weighing 26 kilograms or more on average per batch.
The competent Belgian authorities shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation and in particular with Article 2 hereof. They shall inform the Commission accordingly as soon as possible.
The competent Belgian authorities shall send the Commission each Wednesday the following information concerning the previous week:
- the number and total weight of the pigs bought in,
- the number and total weight of piglets bought in.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 14 November 1994. However, Article 1 (1) shall apply from 25 October 1994.

Whereas, by Council Decision 86/238/EEC of 9 June 1986 (3), the Community approved its accession to the Iccat Convention, as amended by the Protocol annexed to the Final Act of the Conference of Plenipotentaries of the States Parties to the Convention signed at Paris on 10 July 1984; whereas the Community participates in the work of the Iccat only as an observer, pending completion of ratification procedures;
Whereas, in the context of measures to regulate stocks of bluefin tuna, at its eighth extraordinary meeting, held in Madrid from 8 to 13 November 1992, the Iccat adopted a resolution designed to make compulsory the presentation of a statistical document when bluefin tuna are imported into the territory of a Contracting Party; whereas that resolution states that the document is to be drawn up by the country whose flag the vessel making the catch is flying;
Whereas those Community Member States which are currently parties to the Iccat Convention are required to respect and apply Iccat resolutions; whereas, for the sound operation of the internal market and in order to ensure the uniform application throughout the Community of this resolution, appropriate rules must be adopted at Community level;
Whereas those Community rules should provide for the recording of certain details on catches and for the issuing of a statistical document containing certain information; whereas that document should be completed by the appropriate operators and be presented and checked when bluefin tuna is entered for free circulation in the customs territory of the Community;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (4), and, in particular, Article 31 thereof, provides for sanctions to be imposed when Community measures adopted under the common fisheries policy are infringed;

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 370/98 of 17 February 1998 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany, and in particular in the Land of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Commission imposed veterinary and trading restrictions in certain areas of the Land by Decision 98/104/EC of 28 January 1998 concerning certain protection measures relating to classical swine fever in Germany (3); whereas, as a result, in those areas the marketing of live pigs and in particular piglets which are in surplus is temporarily banned;
Whereas restrictions on the free movement of goods resulting from the application of veterinary measures are likey to bring about a serious disturbance of the pigmeat market in Germany; whereas exceptional market support measures, to apply for no longer than is strictly necessary, must accordingly be adopted with respect solely to live animals from the affected areas;
Whereas, with the aim of preventing a further spread of the disease, the pigs produced in the said zones should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 3 of Council Directive 90/667/EEC (4), as amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (5);
Whereas it is appropriate to grant aid for the delivery to the competent authorities of piglets coming from the affected zones and to introduce arrangements for fixing the aid on the basis of the weekly market rates for piglets in the new Länder;
Whereas in view of the extent of the disease and, in particular, of its duration, and consequently of the magnitude of the efforts needed to support the market, it would be appropriate for expenditure to be shared by the Community and the Member State concerned;
Whereas provision should be made for the German authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures and to inform the Commission accordingly;
Whereas the rapid application of the exceptional market support measures is one of the best means of combating the spread of classical swine fever; whereas this justifies the application of the measures provided for in this Regulation from 31 January 1998;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. From 31 January 1998 producers may benefit, on request, from aid granted by the competent German authorities for the delivery of:
- piglets falling within CN code 0103 91 10 weighing 25 kilograms or more on average per batch,
- young piglets falling within CN code 0103 91 10 weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch.
2. Seventy per cent of the expenditure related to this aid shall be financed by the Community budget, for a total maximum number of piglets as laid down in Annex I.
Only piglets raised in the administrative regions listed in Annex II to this Regulation can be delivered, provided that the veterinary provisions laid down by Decision 98/104/EC apply in the regions on the day the animals are delivered.
On the day they are delivered, the animals shall be weighed and killed in such a way as to prevent the disease from spreading.
They shall be transported without delay to a rendering plant and processed into products falling within CN codes 1501 00 11, 1518 00 and 2301 10 00, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 3 of Directive 90/667/EEC.
These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent German authorities.
1. For piglets weighing 25 kilograms or more on average per batch, the aid provided for in Article 1(1), per head at farm gate, shall be equal to the average price for piglets in the 25 kilograms weight category, recorded on the markets of the new Länder during the week preceding the delivery of the piglets to the competent authorities and published each week by the ZMP in its booklet Vieh und Fleisch (Livestock and meat).
2. For piglets and young piglets in other weight categories, the aid shall be equal to the aid fixed pursuant to paragraph 1:
(a) less 15 % for piglets weighing less than 25 kilograms but more than 24 kilograms on average per batch;
(b) less 20 % for young piglets weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch;
(c) less 30 % for young piglets weighing less than 8 kilograms but more than 7,6 kilograms on average per batch.
The competent German authorities shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation and in particular with Article 2 thereof. They shall inform the Commission accordingly as soon as possible.
The competent German authorities shall send the Commission each Wednesday the following information concerning the previous week:
- the number and total weight of piglets and young piglets delivered,
- the aid for the piglets referred to in Article 4(1).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
