32007R0889 | Commission Regulation (EC) Νo 889/2007 of 26 July 2007 fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
| 27.7.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 195/19
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 889/2007
of 26 July 2007
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1103/2006

establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.
(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The standard import values referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 shall be fixed as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 July 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
32009D0587 | 2009/587/EC: Council Decision of 7 July 2009 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Malta
| 4.8.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 202/42
COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 July 2009
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Malta
(2009/587/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Malta,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 104 of the Treaty, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 104 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1), which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact, provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Malta. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Malta on 24 June 2009 (3).
(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Malta, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.
(7) According to data notified by the Maltese authorities in March 2009 and subsequently validated by Eurostat, the general government deficit in Malta reached 4,7 % of GDP in 2008, thus largely exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. The deficit is not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value and the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it did not result from an unusual event or from a severe economic downturn in 2008 in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. Indeed, real GDP growth between 2005 and 2007 was above 3 % annually, significantly higher than potential growth. Economic growth slowed down in 2008, but remained positive at 1,6 % and, according to the latest data, was revised upwards to 2,5 %. Furthermore, the excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary. According to the Commission services’ spring 2009 forecast, the deficit ratio is projected to decline but remain above the threshold over the forecast horizon, at 3,6 % of GDP in 2009 and, under the customary no-policy-change assumption, 3,2 % of GDP in 2010. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is therefore not fulfilled.
(8) General government gross debt has been above the 60 % of GDP reference value since 2003 and stood at 64,1 % of GDP in 2008. According to the Commission services’ spring 2009 forecast, general government debt is projected to follow an upward trend, increasing to almost 69 % by 2010. The debt ratio cannot be considered as sufficiently diminishing and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is therefore not fulfilled.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Malta, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Malta.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.75 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1) and in particular second indent of Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 relating to emissions from air-conditioning systems in motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC (2) is one of the separate directives under the EC type-approval procedure which was established by Directive 70/156/EEC.
(2) Directive 2006/40/EC requires vehicles fitted with an air-conditioning system designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150 to be type-approved with regard to emissions from an air-conditioning system.
(3) Following the introduction of that EC type-approval procedure and the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 706/2007 of 21 June 2007 laying down, pursuant to Directive 2006/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, administrative provisions for the EC type-approval of vehicles, and a harmonised test for measuring leakages from certain air conditioning systems (3), it is necessary to add new elements to the list of information in Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC and the information document requirements for the purposes of vehicle EC type-approval in Annex III to that Directive.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/805/EC of 24 November 2006 concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (3) was adopted in response to outbreaks of classical swine fever in certain Member States. That Decision establishes certain disease control measures concerning classical swine fever in those Member States.
(2) Slovakia has informed the Commission about the recent evolution of that disease in feral pigs and the presence of that disease in the district of Nové Zámky, bordered by the districts Komárno and Levice in Slovakia and the county of Pest in Hungary. In the light of the epidemiological information available, the areas in Slovakia and Hungary where control measures relating to classical swine fever apply should be amended to include parts of those districts.
(3) The disease situation in Slovakia has significantly improved in the District Veterinary and Food Administrations of Trenčín (comprising Trenčín and Bánovce nad Bebravou districts), Prievidza (comprising Prievidza and Partizánske districts) and Púchov (comprising Ilava district only). The measures provided for in Decision 2006/805/EC concerning those areas should therefore no longer apply.
(4) For the sake of transparency of Community legislation, the list of the Member States concerned or the regions thereof as set out in the Annex to Decision 2006/805/EC should be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
(5) Decision 2006/805/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Whereas, therefore, in order to prevent the Member States' traditional trade patterns being disturbed, the Member States should, on the one hand, be granted the possibility in respect of seed potatoes of extending the validity of decisions on equivalence already taken by them and, on the other hand, the abovementioned date should be postponed in respect of vegetable seed,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 15 of Directive 66/403/EEC:
"2a. Member States are hereby authorized to extend until 31 December 1976 the validity of decisions taken in accordance with paragraph 2 before 1 July 1975."
In the second sentence of Article 32 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC "30 June 1975" shall be replaced by "30 June 1977".
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive with effect from 1 July 1975.
They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

of 26 April 2004
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include mepanipyrim as active substance

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Italy received on 24 October 1997 an application from Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance mepanipyrim (former name: KIF 3535) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 98/676/EC(2) confirmed that the dossier was "complete" in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report concerning the substance to the Commission on 12 July 2000.
(3) The draft assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 30 March 2004 in the format of the Commission review report for mepanipyrim.
(4) The dossier and the information from the review were also submitted to the Scientific Panel on Plant Health, Plant Protection Products and their Residues. The report of this Panel was formally adopted on 23 October 2003(3).
The Panel was asked to comment on the liver tumors found in rats and mice exposed to mepanipyrim and to give its opinion on the question whether a threshold of tumor formation can be assumed.
In its opinion the Panel concluded that mepanipyrim induces tumors in rats and mice by a mechanism which is currently unknown but nevertheless involves a threshold below which tumors are not expected to develop and that therefore a safe level of human exposure can be assigned.
The recommendations of the Scientific Panel were taken into account during the further review and in this Directive and in the Review Report. The evaluation within the Standing Committee concluded that there would be no unacceptable human exposure under the proposed conditions of use.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substance concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1) (a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include mepanipyrim in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(6) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing mepanipyrim and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2005 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2005.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing mepanipyrim to ensure that the conditions relating to this active substance set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw authorisations in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 March 2005 at the latest.
2. For each authorised plant protection product containing mepanipyrim as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 September 2004 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing mepanipyrim as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2006 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing mepanipyrim as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 March 2006 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 October 2004.

Whereas in pursuance of Article 2 of Commission Regulation No 201/67/EEC (6) of 28 June 1967 on detailed rules for the application of Regulation No 170/67/EEC on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin and repealing Regulation No 48/67/EEC, the provisions of Articles 1 to 5 of Regulation No 163/67/EEC are applicable to the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation No 170/67/EEC;
Whereas, when additional amounts are not fixed for poultry-farming products originating in or coming from certain third countries, any abuse of the rules should be prevented and whereas, therefore, it is necessary to exclude all products which are not marketed unaltered immediately after importation into the Community;
Whereas, to ensure uniform treatment of all cases, it should be made clear that those conditions also apply to the products and the third countries covered by the following Regulations on the non-fixing of additional amounts : Regulation Nos 54/65/EEC (7), 87/66/EEC (8), 183/66/EEC (9), 765/67/EEC (10), (EEC) No 565/68 (11), (EEC) No 990/69 (12), (EEC) No 2261/69 (13) or (EEC) No 59/70 (14);

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin and amending Decision 2006/504/EC (1), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin, including the physical checks to be carried out at designated points of entry into the European Union. It also lays down minimum requirements for such points of entry and provides for a list of those points of entry to be made publicly available by the Member States on the Internet.
(2) Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the Commission, upon a request by a Member State, may authorise the competent authorities of certain designated points of entry, operating under specific geographical constraints, to carry out the physical checks at the premises of a feed or a food business operator, subject to certain conditions.
(3) By letter dated 18 December 2009, Malta referred to the specific geographical situation of the designated point of entry of Floriana Port, to the relatively low throughput of imports from third countries of products of non-animal origin, as well as to the small size and the proximity of the islands constituting its territory, and requested the Commission to authorise the competent authorities of that point of entry to carry out the required physical checks at the premises of certain feed and food business operators.
(4) By letter dated 28 February 2010 and subsequent correspondence, Malta provided the Commission with assurances to the effect that: only the premises of feed and food business operators complying with the minimum requirements for designated points of entry laid down in Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 would be approved for the performance of the physical checks; the level of resources allocated to the competent authorities of Floriana Port would be such that the control activities carried out at that designated point of entry would not be disrupted or adversely affected by the possibility that physical checks would be carried out away from its premises; and consignments selected for physical checks at the premises of a feed or a food business operator would remain under continuous control of the competent authorities of Floriana Port from the moment of their arrival at this point of entry and in such a way that they cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks.
(5) Therefore, taking into account the specific geographical constraints of the designated point of entry of Floriana Port and the confirmation from Malta of the fulfilment of the conditions laid down in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, it is appropriate to authorise that physical checks may be carried out at the premises of certain feed and food business operators approved by Malta for such checks.
(6) In order to ensure adequate publicity to the authorisation provided for in this Decision, it is appropriate that a list of the premises of feed and food business operators, approved for physical checks pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, is made publicly available on the Internet through the national link provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation,
1. The competent authorities of the designated point of entry of Floriana Port in Malta are hereby authorised, in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, to carry out the physical checks provided for in Article 8(1)(b) of that Regulation on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto, at the premises of a feed or food business operator approved by Malta for such checks, provided that the conditions set out in points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 9(1) of that Regulation are met.
2. The list of feed and food business operators whose premises are approved by Malta, as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, shall be made publicly available on the Internet through the national link provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 342/2006
of 24 February 2006
initiating a ‘new exporter’ review of Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Huvis Sichuan (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer in the People’s Republic of China (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product concerned), currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00. This CN code is given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2005 (2) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China, and produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 49,7 % with the exception of companies specially mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively claims individual treatment in conformity with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation, that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2003 (the original investigation period) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product which are subject to the above mentioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that it has begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given and opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively whether the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and, if so, the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(8) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from companies not mentioned in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 428/2005.
(a) Questionnaires
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(c) Selection of the market economy country
(d) Market economy status
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(9) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force shall be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports shall be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(10) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in Article 4(1) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission,
— interested parties to the investigation can comment on the appropriateness of the United States of America which, in the event that the applicant will not be granted market economy status, is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China,
— the applicant can submit a duly substantiated claim for market economy status.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(11) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(12) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated,
A review of Regulation (EC) No 428/2005 is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 in order to determine if and to what extent the imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning falling within CN code 5503 20 00 originating in the People’s Republic of China, produced by Huvis Sichuan (TARIC additional code A736) and sold for export to the Community should be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2005.
The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 428/2005 is hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1.
The customs authorities of the Member States are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of the present Regulation.
1. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 8(a) of this Regulation or any other information, unless otherwise specified, within 40 days of the entry into force of this Regulation.
Interested parties may also apply in writing to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.
2. Parties to the investigation may wish to comment on the appropriateness of the United States of America, which is envisaged as a market-economy third country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China, must submit their comments within 10 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
3. Duly substantiated claims for marked economy status must reach the Commission within 21 days of the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.
4. All submissions and requests made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (3) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘FOR INSPECTION BY INTERESTED PARTIES’.

granting the Republic of Cyprus a derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2006) 4177)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(2006/653/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC) (1), and in particular Article 26(1) thereof,
Having regard to the application submitted by the Republic of Cyprus on 28 June 2004,
After informing the Member States of the application,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 June 2004, the Republic of Cyprus submitted an application to the Commission, for a derogation from the provisions of Article 21(1)(b) of Directive 2003/54/EC for the period ending on 31 December 2008 and from Article 21(1)(c) for the period ending on 31 December 2013. Express authority for the submission of such application is contained in Article 26(1) of that Directive.
(2) The information provided was initially not adequate to permit the request to be assessed. Moreover, the consumption data presented included some consumption in the northern part of Cyprus. In the light of Article 1 paragraph 1 of Protocol No 10 on Cyprus to the Accession Treaty, the figures related to that part of Cyprus were considered immaterial to the examination. On request, Cyprus provided additional elements of information.
(3) The Republic of Cyprus qualifies as a ‘small isolated system’ as defined in point (26) of Article 2 of Directive 2003/54/EC. According to that provision, ‘small isolated system’ means any system with consumption of less than 3 000 GWh in 1996, and where less than 5 % of annual consumption is obtained through interconnections with other systems. In 1996, the Republic of Cyprus consumed 2 315,3 GWh. The Republic of Cyprus is an isolated not interconnected power system.
(4) The documents annexed to the application and those subsequently submitted provide sufficient evidence that it is not possible for the time being to achieve the objective of a competitive market in electricity given the size and structure of the electricity market on the island and the fact that the prospect of this system becoming interconnected with the main grid of a Member State is remote. An immediate opening up of the market would create substantial problems relating in particular to the security of supply of electricity.
(5) The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (ECA) is currently the only licensed supplier of electricity in Cyprus. A considerable burden has been placed on it by the government’s decision, motivated by environmental considerations, to diversify the fuel mix, which currently depends on heavy fuel. For that reason, natural gas has been required to be introduced in the generation mix. ECA has agreed to build combined cycle units that will use natural gas in 2010. The required investments will place on ECA an extra burden that would be a disadvantage compared to its competitors.
(6) Furthermore, the government has provided generous incentives to potential investors in renewable energy sources notably for wind, photovoltaic and biomass capacity. The interest shown by the private sector is considerable. Electricity from renewable energy sources enjoys preferential access to the system. However, the unrestricted introduction and operation of electricity generation from renewable energy sources would create difficulties with regard to the stability of the system and security of supply.
(7) The opening up of the market would necessarily entail costly reinforcement of the transmission system, to avoid a negative impact on the reliability and security of the network. This would result in a tariff increase that would increase prices for the final customers. At present, no meaningful competition would be possible.
(8) The Commission, having examined the reasoning of the Republic of Cyprus application, is satisfied that the derogation and the conditions for its application will not prejudice the eventual achievement of the objectives of Directive 2003/54/EC.
(9) The derogation requested by the Republic of Cyprus should therefore be granted.
(10) However, whilst the application gives a fair description of the present situation, it does not take into consideration possible developments in the medium- and long-term, which are liable to lead to significant changes. The situation should therefore be monitored regularly.
A derogation from points (b) and (c) respectively of Article 21(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC is granted to the Republic of Cyprus.
The derogation from Article 21(1)(b) of Directive 2003/54/EC shall apply until 31 December 2008.
The derogation from Article 21(1)(c) of Directive 2003/54/EC shall apply until 31 December 2013.
The derogation may be withdrawn by the Commission if substantial changes occur in the electricity sector of the Republic of Cyprus.
To that end, Cyprus shall monitor the evolution of the electricity sector and shall report to the Commission any substantial changes therein, in particular information on new generating licenses, new entrants in the market, price movements and new infrastructure plans that may necessitate a review of the derogation.
In addition, the Republic of Cyprus shall submit a general report to the Commission every two years, starting no later than 31 December 2007. The reports shall set out tarification and pricing policy together with measures taken to protect customers’ interests in the light of the derogation.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

- for inclusion of a further area (the Slieve Felim area), totalling 31 583 ha UAA, in the list of areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC which is contained in the Annex to Directive 75/272/EEC;
Whereas the areas resulting from the proposed adjustments, as the documents sent in and the declarations made by the Irish Government indicate, meet the criteria which were applied in Directive 75/272/EEC when fixing the less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the new area applied for (the Slieve Felim area) does not fully meet the abovementioned criteria ; whereas, nevertheless, its specific disadvantages, especially its steep slopes, unfavourable natural conditions for farming and poor drainage, permit it to be classified as an area within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC which may be ranked with less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of the Directive ; whereas the area in question is only 0 753 % of the total surface area of Ireland and thus less than 2 75 % of it;
Whereas the adjustments applied for by the Irish Government do not have the combined effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of all the listed areas by more than 1 75 % of the total utilized agricultural area of Ireland;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects; (1) OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 180, 14.7.1980, p. 34. (3) OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 68. (4) OJ No L 3, 5.1.1977, p. 15.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 2 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia establishing new trade arrangements (1) provides for the opening of Community tariff quotas for imports into the Community of:
- 1 200 tonnes of sweet peppers falling within CN code 0709 60 10;
- 1 300 tonnes of frozen peas falling within CN code 0710 21 00; and - 300 tonnes of garlic falling within CN code ex 0703 20 00,
originating in Yugoslavia;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff quotas, customs duties are to be phased out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in Articles 75, 243 and 268 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the quota duties for 1989 are equal to 63,6 % of the basic duties for sweet peppers and garlic and 50 % of the basic duty for frozen peas; whereas, however, Council Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87 of 21 December 1987 laying down arrangements for Spain's and Portugal's trade with Yugoslavia and amending Regulations (EEC) No 449/86 and No 2573/87 (2) provides that those Member States are to postpone application of the preferential arrangements for products covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1113/88 (4) until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas this Regulation, therefore, only applies with regard to sweet peppers and garlic to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, but with regard to frozen peas it applies to the Community as at present constituted; whereas these Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for 1989;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas, however, the quota should not in this case be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedure laid down in Article 2 (1); whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, during the quota period, the tariff quota is almost totally used up, it is indispensable that Member States return to this quota the entirety of the drawings made which have not been used, in order to avoid one part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota share levied by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
The duties applicable to imports into the Community of the following products originating in Yugoslavia shall be suspended during the periods and at the levels indicated below and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown below:
Order No CN code Description Volume of tariff quota (tonnes) Rate of duty (%) Applicability 09.1507 ex 0703 20 00 Garlic, from 1 February to 31 May 1989 300 7,6 in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 09.1509 ex 0709 60 10 Sweet peppers, from 1 January to 31 December 1989 1 200 4,0 in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 09.1511 ex 0710 21 00 Peas (Pisum sativum), from 1 January to 31 December 1989 1 300 9,0 in the Community of Twelve Within the limits of the tariff quota for peas (Pisum sativum), the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87.
1. If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of the product in question into a Member State and applies to take advantage of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the quota so permits.
2. Without prejudice to Article 3, shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Once at least 80 % of the tariff quota as defined in Article 1 (1) has been used up, the Commission shall notify the Member States thereof.
2. It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the tariff quota must be made according to the following provisions:
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration; must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
3. Within a time limit laid down by the Commission starting from the date referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the tariff quota all the quantities which have not been used on that date, within the meaning of Article 4 (3) and (4).
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 2 (1) enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quotas.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have free access to the quota for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products concerned against their drawings as and when the goods are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports of the products concerned actually charged against the quota.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.

Whereas this Regulation could be amended if necessary, in order to take account of developments in the political situation in Yugoslavia,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 16 July 2014
on the approval of the DENSO efficient alternator as an innovative technology for reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/465/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emissions performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular Article 12(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The supplier DENSO Corporation (the ‘Applicant’) submitted an application for the approval of the DENSO efficient alternator as an innovative technology on 31 October 2013. The completeness of the application was assessed in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 (2). The Commission identified certain relevant information as missing in the original application and requested the Applicant to complete it. The Applicant provided the information on 30 January 2014. The application was found to be complete and the period for the Commission's assessment of the application started on the day following the date of official receipt, i.e. 31 January 2014.
(2) The application has been assessed in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 and the Technical Guidelines for the preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 (the Technical Guidelines) (3).
(3) The application refers to the DENSO efficient alternator, for the output classes of 150A, 180A, and 210A. The alternator has an efficiency of at least 77 per cent as determined in accordance with the VDA approach described in point 5.1.2 in Annex I to the Technical Guidelines. That approach makes reference to the testing methodology specified in the International standard ISO 8854:2012 (4). The Applicant's alternator has an increased efficiency compared to the baseline alternator by reducing the following three losses: rectification losses by optimising the rectification by the use of a ‘MOSFET module’, i.e. by a use of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor; stator iron losses by the use of thin laminated core made by magnetic steel, and stator copper losses by the use of a ‘segment conductor’, which has higher space factor and shorter coil end. This technology is therefore different from the Valeo Efficient Generation Alternator approved as an eco-innovation by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU (5).
(4) The Commission finds that the information provided in the application demonstrates that the conditions and criteria referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and in Articles 2 and 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 have been met.
(5) The Applicant has demonstrated that a high efficiency alternator of the kind described in this application did not exceed 3 % of the new passenger cars registered in the reference year 2009.
(6) In order to determine the CO2 savings that the innovative technology will deliver when fitted to a vehicle, it is necessary to define the baseline vehicle against which the efficiency of the vehicle equipped with the innovative technology should be compared as provided for in Articles 5 and 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011. The Commission finds that it is appropriate to consider an alternator with 67 % efficiency as an appropriate baseline technology in the case the innovative technology is fitted on a new vehicle type. Where the DENSO efficient alternator is fitted to an existing vehicle type, the baseline technology should be the alternator of the most recent version of that type placed on the market.
(7) The Applicant has provided a methodology for testing the CO2 reductions which includes formulae that are consistent with the formulae described in the Technical Guidelines for the simplified approach with regard to efficient alternators. The Commission considers that the testing methodology will provide testing results that are verifiable, repeatable and comparable and that it is capable of demonstrating in a realistic manner the CO2 emissions benefits of the innovative technology with strong statistical significance in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
(8) The Commission notes that the Applicant in its methodology has used a formula for calculating the standard deviation of the efficiency value of the alternator which increases the accuracy of the result as compared to the formula (1) in the methodology specified in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The Applicant's testing methodology and formulae to calculate the CO2 savings are in all other respects identical to the methodology specified in that Implementing Decision. As a consequence, the Commission considers that the methodology specified in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU should be used to determine the reduction in CO2 emissions due to the use of the DENSO efficient alternator. However, in view of the improved accuracy due to the standard deviation calculation proposed by Denso, it is appropriate to adjust formula (1) set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The adjustment should not affect any CO2 savings certified using the methodology laid down in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU prior to the entry into force of this Implementing Decision.
(9) Against that background the Commission finds that the Applicant has demonstrated satisfactorily that the emission reduction achieved by the innovative technology is at least 1 g CO2/km.
(10) The Commission notes that the savings of the innovative technology may be partially demonstrated on the standard test cycle, and the final total savings to be certified should therefore be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
(11) The Commission finds that the verification report has been prepared by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) which is an independent and certified body and that the report supports the findings set out in the application.
(12) Against that background, the Commission finds that no objections should be raised as regards the approval of the innovative technology in question.
(13) For the purposes of determining the general eco-innovation code to be used in the relevant type approval documents in accordance with Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the individual code to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision should be specified,
(14) Any manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO2 emissions for the purpose of meeting its specific emissions target by means of the CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology approved by this Implementing Decision, should in accordance with Article 11(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, refer to this Implementing Decision in its application for an EC type-approval certificate for the vehicles concerned,
1. The DENSO efficient alternator having an efficiency of at least 77 per cent by reducing three different losses and intended for use in M1 vehicles is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.
2. The CO2 emissions reduction from the use of the alternator referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined using the methodology set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU.
3. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, the CO2 emission reduction determined in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, may only be certified and entered into the certificate of conformity and relevant type approval documentation specified in Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC where the reductions are on or above the threshold specified in Article 9(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
4. The individual eco-innovation code to be entered into type approval documentation to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision shall be ‘6’.
Amendment to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU
1. In Section 2 of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU, the formula (1) is replaced by the following formula:
‘’
2. The amendment shall not affect certifications performed in accordance with Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 prior to the entry into force of this Implementing Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Union recognises the trade partnership programmes of certain third countries that have been developed in accordance with the World Customs Organisation Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade. Consequently, the Union grants facilitations to those economic operators of a third country who hold a membership status under a trade partnership programme of that third country’s customs authorities.
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 58/2013 amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) introduced the means to identify in entry summary declarations a consignor’s membership status under trade partnership programmes.
(3) It is necessary to extend the obligation to provide an identification number in order to improve risk analysis by identifying the carrier in the coded form in the entry summary declaration.
(4) In order to provide relevant facilitations to persons other than the consignor declared in an entry or exit summary declaration or in a customs declaration replacing it, it is necessary to adapt Annexes 30a, 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) to allow for an indication of those person’s third country unique identification number which has been made available to the Union by the third country concerned. That number can be indicated instead of the EORI number of the person concerned.
(5) Clarifications should be made with respect to the use of name and address or code numbers to identify parties in Annex 30a.
(6) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
(1) the following points are added to Article 4l(3):

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas application of the common quality standards already in force in trade between Member States to cauliflowers, tomatoes, apples and pears, peaches, citrus fruits and table grapes marketed within the Community would prevent part of the output from being marketed ; whereas, therefore, these standards should be supplemented by a further quality class to permit, for the period laid down in the last subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Regulation No 158/66/EEC, the marketing of products which although excluded from higher classes nevertheless fulfil criteria of quality which can satisfy consumer requirements and are of value from the producers' point of view;
The common quality standards for cauliflowers, tomatoes, apples and pears, peaches, citrus fruits and table grapes shall be supplemented by the addition of a further quality class described as "Class III".
Class III is defined for each product in the Annexes to this Regulation.

Whereas the intervention period for maize and sorghum ends on 30 April in the south and 31 May in the north; whereas this situation, in view of uncertainties as regards outlets, is likely to encourage operators to offer substantial quantities of maize and sorghum for intervention at the end of May in the north, although certain market outlets may be found after the end of the intervention period; whereas this situation may be remedied by allowing buying in of those cereals until 15 August 1998;

Whereas Article 5 (1) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for the grant of a premium to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat is granted (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (6);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the amount of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of that Article by a coefficient expressing the annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe producing these lambs expressed per 100 kilograms of carcase weight; whereas the coefficient for 1997 has not yet been fixed in view of the lack of full Community statistics; whereas, pending the fixing of that coefficient, a provisional coefficient should be used; whereas Article 5 (3) of that Regulation also fixes the amount per ewe for producers of light lambs and per female of the caprine species and at 80 % of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article; whereas that coefficient is fixed by Article 8 (4) at 7 %;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the half-yearly advance payment is fixed at 30 % of the expected premium; whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1526/96 (8), the advance payment is to be paid only if it is equal to or greater than ECU 1;
Whereas the agricultural conversion rate has been frozen until 1 January 1999 for certain currencies by Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 (9);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application of specific measures relating to agricultural production in the Canary Islands; whereas those measures entail the grant of a supplement to the ewe premium to producers of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as those governing the grant of the premium referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89; whereas those conditions provide that Spain is authorized to pay an advance on the said supplementary premium;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
A difference is hereby estimated between the basic price, reduced by the impact of the coefficient laid down in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, and the foreseeable market price during 1997 is ECU 88,785 per 100 kilograms.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per ewe is as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: ECU 14,206
- producers of light lambs: ECU 11,365.
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the second advance that the Member States are authorized to pay to producers shall be as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: ECU 4,262 per ewe,
- producers of light lambs: ECU 3,410 per ewe.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per female of the caprine species in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86: ECU 11,365.
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the second advance which the Member States are authorized to pay to goatmeat producers located in the areas designated in paragraph 1 shall be as follows: ECU 3,410 per female of the caprine species.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas the purpose of the aid for durum wheat is to ensure a fair standard of living for farmers in regions of the Community where such production constitutes a traditional and important part of agricultural production; whereas these areas were specified by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76 of 16 December 1976 on aid for durum wheat (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1216/89 (7); whereas, to cushion the impact of the reduction in the
intervention price for durum wheat on producers' incomes, the aid for the 1989/90 marketing year should be increased;
Whereas the rules regarding the alignment of aid as laid down in Article 79 (2) of the Act of Accession mean that for Spain the amount of aid to be fixed should be that laid down in this Regulation,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the aid for durum wheat referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 is hereby fixed for the regions listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76 at:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas, when verifying the weight by volumetric measuring, account should also be taken of any differences in the rates of various impurities compared with the rate observed during weighing;
Whereas the minimum criteria for intervention are important instruments for conducting policy to improve the quality of Community production; whereas production quality will become more and more important in a market increasingly open and competitive;
Whereas, in the case of durum wheat, the rate of loss of vitreous aspect is determined for the yield in groats and meal, the main products processed from this cereal; whereas to facilitate the disposal of the intervention product to processing industries in cases of resale on the internal market, this rate of loss of vitreous aspect should be adjusted;
Whereas in the case of rye, there has been an appreciable increase in production and disproportionate deliveries to intervention, given the share of rye production in cereal production as a whole;
Whereas it is recognised that the deliveries to intervention involve primarily fodder rye; whereas this trend should be counteracted by setting the minimum criteria at a level closer to bread-making quality;
Whereas, with a view to balance, the minimum quality for common wheat should also be adjusted;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 23/98 (4), fixes the conditions for the taking over of cereals into intervention; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend this Regulation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 is amended as follows:
1. the first indent in the second subparagraph of Article 3(6)(b) is replaced by:
'- the rate to be recorded shall be that entered in the stock records, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of any difference between the moisture content and the rate of various impurities (Schwarzbesatz) recorded at the moment of weighing and those determined on the basis of the representative sample,`;
2. the Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Whereas this rate is directly linked to a reduction of the conventional duty of subheading 54.03 B I a) introduced for 1985 by Regulation (EEC) No 3400/84 (2);
Whereas, for the same subheading, the rate of conventional duty was reduced to 1,8 %, as from 1 January 1986, by Regulation (EEC) No 3331/85 (3);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1736/85 should be amended to reflect this reduction applicable to the conventional duty for the autonomous duty,
In Table III annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 1736/85, the rate which appears opposite subheading ex 54.03 B I a) shall be replaced by 1,8 %.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1918/98 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.
(2) The applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 September 2001, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1918/98, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from those States.

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 22,094/100 kg.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 December 2009
on the granting of State aid by the authorities of the Republic of Latvia for the purchase of agricultural land between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013
(2009/991/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 108(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Republic of Latvia on 17 November 2009,
Whereas:
(1) On 17 November 2009, the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter referred to as ‘Latvia’) presented to the Council a request for a decision in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community concerning Latvia’s plan to grant State aid to Latvian farmers for the purchase of agricultural land.
(2) According to data provided by the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia, 97,6 % of all rural holdings are smaller than 15,9 hectares. Consequently, the main part of Latvian farms are semi-subsistence farms. The unfavourable area structure of farms in Latvia, Latvia’s receipt of the lowest direct payments among Member States following a phasing-in mechanism provided for in its 2003 Act of Accession, and the disproportionately high agricultural labour inputs compared with returns result in low agricultural incomes, which decreased even further in 2009.
(3) According to data provided by the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia, up to the year 2007 there were 1 930 900 hectares of agricultural land but the area declared for the purposes of direct payment support did not exceed 1 551 185 hectares. Consequently, 379 715 hectares are owned and managed by non-farmers. State aid would enable farmers to buy this farmland.
(4) In 2009, the deepening recession in the world economy caused by the global crisis has adversely affected the Latvian economy and Latvian agricultural holdings both due to the lack of demand and plummeting purchase prices: in the first three quarters of 2009, wheat prices were approximately 37 %, barley prices approximately 44 % and milk prices approximately 38 % down on 2008 levels.
(5) The income situation of farmers in Latvia has been further aggravated by the fact that prices of agricultural inputs sharply increased in 2008 (mineral fertilisers by 67 %, veterinary services by 46 %, electricity by 29 % and fuel by 15 %) and have not been reduced in 2009. The production costs have thus remained unchanged. It is likely that conditions will continue to worsen for many Latvian farms, with a consequent increase in the number of farming families at risk of poverty.
(6) The unemployment level in Latvia is the highest in the European Union, reaching 19,7 % in September 2009 and having risen by 62 % since January 2009. State aid should therefore help the unemployed switch to farming by allowing them to buy agricultural land. It should also give the opportunity to semi-subsistence farmers no longer working as employees in sectors other than agriculture to improve the area structure of their holding with the aim of securing an income that will guarantee them a basic standard of living off the land. It should also facilitate the sale of agricultural land owned by the unemployed who need capital to switch to self-employed status.
(7) In view of the lack of financial resources of farmers and the high interest rates on commercial loans for the purchase of land, farmers encounter great difficulties in taking out commercial loans for investments such as the purchase of agricultural land. In November 2009, interest rates applied by credit institutions for commercial credit lines for the purchase of agricultural land exceeded 15 % per annum.
(8) In 2009 the recession period set in on the market of agricultural land. The number of transactions has been considerably reduced and according to the Land Book the number of land sales and purchases dropped by up to 4,5 times compared with 2007.
(9) The State aid to be granted amounts to a maximum of 8 million Latvian lats (LVL) and should enable the purchase of a total of 70 000 hectares of agricultural land by approximately 1 000 farmers during the period from 2010 to 2013. Both state and municipality owned land, as well as land owned by natural persons, is eligible.
(10) The State aid will take the form of subsidising interest payments on loans covering 4 percentage points of the annual interest rate applied by the bank. However, where this annual interest rate is below 4 percentage points, the actual interest rate paid by the borrower will be entirely refunded.
(11) The Commission has not at this stage initiated any procedure nor taken a position on the nature and compatibility of the aid.
(12) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to limit the extent of rural poverty in Latvia, to be compatible with the internal market,
Exceptional State aid by the Latvian authorities for loans for the purchase of agricultural land, amounting to a maximum of LVL 8 million and granted between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013, shall be considered to be compatible with the internal market.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 25 July 1990 ruling on financial measures by Spain in respect of the coal industry in 1988, 1989 and 1990 (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (91/3/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986, establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1), and in particular Articles 2 (1) and 10 thereof,
Whereas:
I
By letter of 26 September 1989, the Spanish Government informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of the financial measures it intended to take during 1990 in order to give direct or indirect support to the coal industries.
By letter of 15 June 1990, in answer to the Commission's requests of 1 December 1989 and 12 January 1990, the Spanish Government communicated further information.
In its letter of 15 June 1990, pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, the Spanish Government also notified the Commission of new financial measures it intended to take in respect of 1989 and 1988.
The following aid is submitted for the approval of the Commission pursuant to the abovementioned Decision:
- aid to cover operating losses in 1990: Pta 50 830 million,
- additional aid to cover operating losses in 1989 and 1988: Pta 2 026,9 million and Pta 369,1 million respectively,
- aid to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry in 1990: Pta 1 400 million,
- aid to the mining environment for 1990: Pta 268 million,
- aid to promote innovation in 1990: Pta 280 million.
II
The aid of Pta 50 830 million to cover operating losses aims at compensating the difference between average estimated costs and average estimated revenue in respect of production of 4 262 000 tonnes for each tonne of coal produced by the undertakings Hunosa, Figaredo and Minero Siderurgica de Ponferrada (as regards those of its activities concerned with the Camocha mine).
By Decisions 89/102/ECSC (2), 88/505/ECSC (3) and 87/454/ECSC (4), the Commission authorized aid to cover operating losses for 1989, 1988 and 1987 on the grounds that it would help the process of restructuring the coal industry, particularly by staggering the dates of closure of certain pits with no prospects of economic viability in the context of regional industrial redevelopment policy. The aid would thus help to solve the social and regional problems related to developments in the coal industry, pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.
Contrary to this restructuration objective, the Commission notes that aid to cover operating losses has increased by more than 70 % compared with 1986.
Developments over the last few years should therefore be judged in accordance with the objectives of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, particularly those mentioned in Article 2 (1) thereof.
In this connection, it is clear that the procedures for granting the undertakings concerned aid to cover operating losses do not encourage the coal industry to become competitive again by means of restructuring, modernization and rationalization measures.
The fact that the amount of aid is related to the quantity of coal produced encourages the maintenance of production capacity which in the long term has no prospect of becoming profitable.
Moreover, this policy is not designed primarily to help solve the social and regional problems related to developments in the Spanish coal industry in accordance with the criteria and objectives in Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.
Since there is no prospect of a substantial proportion of production becoming profitable, it is not possible to authorize a continual automatic increase in aid.
In fact, the increases in the price of coal which have already taken place, or are expected, on the Spanish coal market should have resulted in a reduction in aid by reducing the non-competitiveness of this production capacity.
Consequently, the aid to cover operating losses planned for 1991 should not exceed the amount authorized in Decision No 89/102/ECSC, which includes additional aid for 1989 to cover operating losses by the Camocha mine, which is also the subject of this Decision, namely a total of Pta 50 034,8 million.
In view of the transitional nature of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, which expires on 31 December 1993, and the need to make the Community coal industry profitable in the long term, there must be a phased reduction of Community aid and this must be accompanied by plans for restructuring, rationalization and modernization as mentioned in the conditions for implementing Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.
So that the Commission can check that the implementing conditions of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC have been fulfilled as regards the aid to cover operating losses, the Spanish Government should be asked to provide, before 31 December 1990, a plan, covering the period up to 31 December 1993 at the latest, for reducing the aforementioned aid.
III
The additional aid which the Spanish Government intends to grant in respect of 1988 and 1989 to cover operating losses is intended to make up the deficit of the Camocha mine, which belongs to Minero Siderurgica de Ponferrada, and to prevent immediate closure of this mine and the social and regional consequences which would ensue from sudden termination of production. Since, as was explained above, most of the production from the mine in question has no prospect of long-term profitability, it is essential in the short term to implement a plan to restructure activities.
IV
Under Article 12 of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, coal undertakings are authorized to grant rebates on their list prices for production costs or deliveries of coking coal, blast furnace coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces for the iron and steel industry of the Community under long-term contract. The rebates allowed must not cause the delivered prices of Community coal and coke to work out lower than those which would be charged for coal from non-member countries and coke made from non-member country coking coal.
The aid for deliveries of coking coal, coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry of the Community, which totals Pta 1 400 million, which has decreased by 46 % compared with 1989 as the result of a decline in deliveries, helps to make up the difference between the price charged on the world market and the cost of producing Spanish coal for production in the order of 215 000 tonnes. Hence the aid is compatible with the provisions of Article 4 of that Decision.
This aid for deliveries of coking coal, coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry of the Community should help the process of rationalizing the coal industry, particularly by staggering the closure of certain pits as part of regional industry redevelopment policy. It thus helps to solve the social and regional problems related to developments in the coal industry as referred to in the third indent of Article 2 (1) of this Decision.
V
The Spanish Government has informed the Commission of its intention of granting the coal industry aid to the mining environment of Pta 268 million in 1990. This aid is for work on spoil heaps and water purification.
This aid has to be notified to the Commission under point (b) of Annex 2 as referred to in Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC and assessed in accordance with Article 10 (2) of that Decision.
In the Commission's opinion, the amount of aid is so small that it will not give the Spanish coal industry a competitive advantage over other coal undertakings in the Community. The aid is designed to improve the environment in the affected areas and thus help to solve the regional problems related to developments in the coal industry as referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
The Spanish Government has informed the Commission of its intention of granting aid to promote innovation in the coal industry in 1990. The aid amounts to Pta 280 million, which is 54 % less than in 1989, and will be divided among the following coalfields: Central Asturiana, Bierzo, Villablino, Narcea, Leรณn-Este, Palencia, Aragรณn, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
This aid is intended to ensure that research results find practical application in production as quickly as possible and should thus help to improve the competitiveness of the Spanish coal industry. The aid has to be notified to the Commission under point (b) of Annex 2 as referred to in Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC and assessed in accordance with Article 10 (2) of that Decision.
The aid is so small that it will not provide Spanish undertakings with any significant competitive advantage over other coal undertakings in the Community.
The measure will help to improve the competitiveness of the coal industry in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of the Decision,
Article 1
The Spanish Government is hereby authorized to grant aid totalling Pta 51 982 800 000 to the Spanish coal industry for the 1990 calendar year. The total amount shall be made up of the following items:
1. an amount totalling Pta 50 034 800 000 in aid to cover operating losses;
2. an amount totalling Pta 1 400 000 000 in aid for the sale of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry;
3. an amount totalling Pta 268 000 000 in aid to the mining environment;
4. an amount totalling Pta 280 000 000 in aid to promote innovation. Article 2
The Spanish Government is hereby authorized to grant additional aid totalling Pta 369 100 000 and Pta 2 026 900 000 to cover operating losses for 1988 and 1989 respectively to the Spanish coal industry. Article 3
The Spanish Government shall submit to the Commission, by 31 December 1990, a plan for reducing, between now and 31 December 1993 at the latest, the aid to cover operating losses as part of a plan for the restructuring, modernization and rationalization of the Spanish coal industry. Article 4

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 (2), and in particular Article 17 (5) thereof,

However, the levy may not be less than 1 770 u.a./100 kilograms.
2. On importation of olives as referred to in Article 1 harvested in Greece and directly transported from Greece to the Community the levy applicable on 100 kilograms shall be equal as appropriate to the levy specified in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2749/78 or the minimum levy specified in Article 5 of that Regulation applicable on 22 kilograms of untreated olive oil falling within subheading 15.07 A I b) of the Common Customs Tariff.
1. The levy applicable on 100 kilograms of products shall be equal: - for products falling within subheading 15.17 B I a) of the Common Customs Tariff, to the levy specified in Article 14 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC or to the minimum levy specified in Article 16 of that Regulation applicable on 50 kilograms of untreated olive oil falling within subheading 15.07 A I b) of the Common Customs Tariff,
- for products falling within subheading 15.17 B I b) of the Common Customs Tariff, to the levy specified in Article 14 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC or to the minimum levy specified in Article 16 of that Regulation applicable on 80 kilograms of (1)OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66.

2. If the abovementioned products have not been wholly obtained in Greece or have not been directly transported from Greece to the Community the levy shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph.
The levy on the importation of products falling within subheadings 23.04 A II and 15.17 B I of the Common Customs Tariff wholly obtained in Greece and transported directly from that country to the Community shall on 100 kilograms be equal: - for products falling within subheading 15.17 B I a) of the Common Customs Tariff, to the levy specified in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2749/78 or to the minimum levy specified in Article 5 of that Regulation applicable on 50 kilograms of untreated olive oil falling within subheading 15.07 A I b) of the Common Customs Tariff,

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(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2001(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity(1), and in particular Article 3(3)(e),
Whereas:
(1) A number of Member States have implemented or intend to implement common safety principles and rules for radio equipment on non-SOLAS (Safety of Life At Sea) vessels.
(2) The harmonisation of radio services should contribute to a safer navigation of non-SOLAS vessels, particular in case of distress and bad weather conditions.
(3) Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) Circular 803 on the participation of non-SOLAS ships in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and Resolution MSC.77(69) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) invite Governments to apply the Guidelines for the participation of non-SOLAS ships in the GMDSS and urges Governments to require certain features to be implemented in relation to the GMDSS on radio equipment to be used on all vessels.
(4) The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations specify certain frequencies that are designated for use by the GMDSS. All radio equipment operating on those frequencies which is intended for use in times of distress should be compatible with the designated use of those frequencies and it should provide a reasonable guarantee of assurance that it will function correctly in times of distress.
(5) The scope of Commission Decision 2000/638/EC of 22 September 2000 on the application of Article 3(3)(e) of Directive 1999/5/EC to marine communication equipment intended to be fitted to seagoing non-SOLAS vessels and which is intended to participate in the global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) and not covered by Council Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment(2) is limited to equipment which is intended to be fitted to sea-going vessels. The scope of that Decision should be broadened to cover GMDSS equipment for use on all non-SOLAS vessels. It is considered that the high level of safety given by this Decision is relevant for all vessels and therefore the scope of the Decision should be amended so that the same requirements apply to cover the use of GMDSS equipment on vessels outside the scope of SOLAS and the Marine equipment Directive whether or not they are seagoing. Decision 2000/638/EC should therefore be replaced.
(6) The measures set out in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Telecommunications Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee,
This Decision shall apply to radio equipment intended for use on non-SOLAS vessels and intended to participate in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) as laid down in Chapter IV of the SOLAS Convention operating in
(a) the maritime mobile service as defined in Article 1.28 of the ITU Radio Regulations, or
(b) the maritime mobile satellite service as defined in Article 1.29 of the ITU Radio Regulations.
Radio equipment falling within the scope of this Decision as specified in Article 1, shall be designed so as to ensure correct functioning under exposure to a marine environment, meet all the operational requirements of the GMDSS under distress conditions and provide clear and robust communications with a high degree of fidelity of the analogue or digital communications link.
Decision 2000/638/EC is repealed.
This Decision shall apply as from 4 September 2004.
