| COMMISSION DECISION
of 9 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Cryotronics - Variable Temperature Cryogenic System, model LTS-21-D70C' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/507/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 23 December 1981, Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Cryotronics - Variable Temperature Cryogenic System, model LTS-21-D70C', ordered on 5 September 1980 and to be used for the study of radioactive half-lives and ionic thermocurrents, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 2 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a cryostat; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision at the control of very low temperatures, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'CF 204' with the apparatus 'DTC2' manufactured by Oxford Instruments Ltd, Osney Maid, UK-Oxford OX20DX,
The apparatus described as 'Cryotronics - Variable Temperature Cryogenic System, model LTS-21-D70C', which is subject of an application by Italy of 23 December 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

31992R2080 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 of 30 June 1992 instituting a Community aid scheme for forestry measures in agriculture
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2080/92 of 30 June 1992 instituting a Community aid scheme for forestry measures in agriculture
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the afforestation of agricultural land is especially important both from the point of view of soil use and the environment and as a contribution to reducing the shortage of forestry products in the Community and as an accompaniment to the Community's policy for controlling agricultural production;
Whereas experience in matters of afforestation of agricultural land by farmers shows that existing aid schemes for promoting afforestation are insufficient; whereas afforestation of agricultural land withdrawn from agricultural production in recent years has proved unsatisfactory;
Whereas, therefore, the measures provided for in Title VIII of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (4) should be replaced by measures which provide more effective encouragement for afforestation of agricultural land;
Whereas the eligible amounts of the costs of afforestation must correspond to the effective costs of afforestation observed in the Community;
Whereas a degressive premium for the first five years to alleviate the cost of maintenance of new woodlands may contribute significantly towards the encouragement of afforestation;
Whereas, in order to increase afforestation of agricultural land as a way of furthering the aims of the common agricultural policy (CAP), it is necessary to introduce premiums to compensate for the income loss incurred by farmers during the non-productive period of afforested agricultural land;
Whereas, in many cases, private persons other than farmers are in a position to undertake afforestation of agricultural land and whereas provisions should be made for incentives to be offered to such persons; whereas, therefore, a premium per hectare should be introduced for the benefit of private persons other than farmers who undertake afforestation of agricultural land;
Whereas, in many parts of the Community, afforestation of agricultural land may be undertaken by public authorities, in particular local authorities; whereas, therefore, afforestation schemes undertaken by such authorities should be supported and reinforced;
Whereas afforestation with fast-growing species cultivated on the basis of a short felling cycle is generally fairly profitable; whereas, therefore, for afforestation with these species, it is sufficient to provide Community assistance for afforestation costs incurred by farmers practising farming as a main occupation;
Whereas the improvement of existing farm woodlands can help to improve the incomes of persons employed in farming; whereas, in particular, because of the structure of cork production and its specific problems, measures to preserve, densify and improve existing cork oak stands should be reinforced;
Whereas, given that the Community is to contribute to the financing of the measure, it must be able to ascertain that the implementing arrangements adopted by the Member States contribute towards the attainment of its objectives; whereas, for this purpose, a structure for cooperation should be set up between the Member States and the Commission in the Standing Forestry Committee set up by Decision 89/367/EEC (5);
Whereas the resources available for implementing the measures provided for in this Regulation must be additional to those available for the implementation of measures under the rules governing the Structural Funds, and in particular for measures applicable in regions covered by Objectives 1 and 5(b) as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 (6),
Purpose of the aid scheme
A Community aid scheme part-financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) is hereby instituted in order to:
- accompany the changes to be introduced under the market organization rules,
- contribute towards an eventual improvement in forest resources,
- contribute towards forms of countryside management more compatible with environmental balance,
- combat the greenhouse effect and absorb carbon dioxide.
This Community aid scheme shall promote:
(a) afforestation as an alternative use of agricultural land;
(b) the development of forestry activities on farms.
Aid scheme
1. The aid scheme may comprise:
(a) aid for afforestation costs;
(b) an annual premium per hectare afforested to cover maintenance cost in the first five years;
(c) an annual premium per hectare to cover losses of income resulting from afforestation of agricultural land;
(d) investment aid for the improvement of woodlands by the provision of shelterbelts, firebreaks, waterpoints and forest roads, and for the improvement of cork oak stands.
2. (a) Aid as referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) may be granted to any natural or legal person undertaking afforestation of agricultural land.
(b) Aid as referred to in paragraph 1 (c) shall be eligible only if it is granted to:
- farmers not participating in the early-retirement scheme introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2079/92 of 30 June 1992 instituting a Community aid scheme for early retirement from farming (7),
- any other private-law, natural or legal person.
(c) In the case of fast-growing species cultivated in the short term, aid as referred to in paragraph 1 (a) shall be eligible only if it is granted to farmers practising farming as a main occupation in accordance with Article 5 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 and provided that the planting is adapted to local conditions compatible with the environment.
(d) The planting of Christmas trees shall not be eligible.
(e) Aid as referred to in paragraph 1 (d) shall be eligible only if it is granted to farmers or associations thereof.
3. The scheme may also comprise a Community contribution to the costs of afforestation of agricultural land undertaken by the competent public authorities of the Member States.
Amount of aid
The maximum eligible amounts of aid as referred to in Article 2 shall be as follows:
(a) in the case of afforestation costs:
- ECU 2 000 per hectare for eucalyptus plantations,
- ECU 3 000 per hectare for conifer plantations,
- ECU 4 000 per hectare for the plantation of broadleaves or mixed plantation comprising not less than 75 % of broadleaves;
(b) in the case of maintenance costs:
- ECU 250 per hectare per year for the first two years and ECU 150 per hectare per year for the following years in the case of the planting of conifers,
- ECU 500 per hectare per year for the first two years and ECU 300 per hectare per year for the following years in the case of the planting of broadleaves or mixed planting comprising not less than 75 % of broadleaves.
Member States may aggregate the aid referred to in (a) and (b) and stagger payment of this aggregate amount over a five-year period provided that the newly-planted areas are maintained;
(c) in the case of the premium to compensate for income losses:
- ECU 600 per hectare per year if the afforestation is undertaken by a farmer or a group of farmers who worked the land before its afforestation,
- ECU 150 per hectare per year if the afforestation is undertaken by another party as referred to in Article 2 (2) (b),
for a maximum period of 20 years from the date of first afforestation;
(d) in the case of improvements to existing woodlands:
- ECU 700 per hectare for woodland improvement and the provision of shelterbelts,
- ECU 1 400 per hectare for renovation and improvement of cork oak stands,
- ECU 18 000 per kilometre for forest roads,
- ECU 150 per hectare of woodland provided with firebreaks and waterpoints.

amending Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the United Kingdom and repealing Council Decision 98/256/EC and Decisions 98/351/EC and 1999/514/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (3), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 98/256/EC of 16 March 1998 concerning emergency measures to protect against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, amending Decision 94/474/EC and repealing Decision 96/239/EC (4), and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 98/256/EC is preserved as a transitional measure by Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(2) Decision 98/256/EC prohibits the export from the United Kingdom of live cattle and of products derived from cattle slaughtered in the United Kingdom which are liable to enter the food or feed chain or which are destined for use in cosmetics or medical or pharmaceutical products. Some derogation is provided, notably for the export of beef and beef products under the date-based export scheme (DBES).
(3) The two conditions to be met before the possible lifting of the United Kingdom embargo could be envisaged, were an incidence of less than 200 BSE cases per million adult bovine animals and a positive conclusion from the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) inspection as to the enforcement of BSE controls in the United Kingdom, and its state of preparedness to comply with Community legislation particularly in relation to identification and registration of bovine animals and testing.
(4) At its General Session in May 2003, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) altered the criteria defining the limit between moderate risk (category 4) and high risk (category 5) countries. The limit was set at 200 BSE cases per million adult animals in the population, for countries carrying out active surveillance.
(5) In June 2003, on the basis that BSE incidence in the United Kingdom was now approaching the figure of 200, and that for this reason it should no longer be considered an OIE high risk country, the United Kingdom asked to be allowed to trade under the same rules as other Member States. In support of this claim, the United Kingdom submitted documentation including estimates of an absolute incidence based on the results of the partial testing regime in force in the United Kingdom.
(6) The opinion of the Scientific Panel on biological hazards of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 21 April 2004 on the scientific justification for proposing amendments to the United Kingdom date-based export scheme (DBES) and to the Over Thirty Months (OTM) rule concludes that cattle born or reared in the United Kingdom before 1 August 1996 should be kept out of the food and feed chains, because of the higher BSE incidence in that group. For cattle born after that date, the opinion concludes that the BSE risk to consumers is in a range comparable with that in other Member States. From 1 August 1996, all mammalian meat and bone meal was banned from feed to all farmed animals in the United Kingdom.
(7) On 12 May 2004, the EFSA published its opinion on the moderate risk status. That opinion indicates that the incidence in the United Kingdom should fall below 200 between July and December 2004. At its plenary meeting on 9 and 10 March 2005, the EFSA concluded that the surveillance data from the second half of 2004 confirmed the conclusions of its opinion of May 2004 and that according to the OIE classification the United Kingdom can be considered a country with a moderate risk status in terms of BSE for its whole cattle population.
(8) On 19 July 2004, the FVO published the report of a mission to Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 26 April to 7 May 2004 concerning a general review as regards protective measures against BSE. The report concluded that the system in place in Northern Ireland was largely satisfactory but shortcomings were noted in various areas in Great Britain which would require further improvements.
(9) On 28 September 2005, the FVO published the report of a mission to Great Britain from 6 to 15 June 2005 concerning protective measures against BSE. The follow-up mission concluded that satisfactory progress was noted in most areas.
(10) On 7 November 2005, the United Kingdom replaced the OTM rule by the pre-1996 rule. Bovine animals born before 1 August 1996 will be permanently excluded from the food and feed chain. Since October 2004, the United Kingdom applies the same monitoring programme as the other Member States for the bovine population born after 31 July 1996. The current monitoring programme applicable to the animals under the previous destruction scheme provided for pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 716/96 of 19 April 1996 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom (5) should be amended.
(11) In view of the moderate risk status of the cattle population and the favourable FVO mission reports, the BSE related restrictions on the trade of bovine animals and their products may be lifted.
(12) The conditions for the lifting of the embargo were fully fulfilled on 15 June 2005, the date of the end of the FVO mission to Great Britain. Therefore the effect of this Regulation on meat and other products derived from slaughtered animals should be limited to meat and products derived from animals slaughtered after that date.
(13) Decision 98/256/EC should, therefore, be repealed and the rules as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should become fully applicable.
(14) Pursuant to Commission Decision 2005/598/EC (6), the United Kingdom is prohibited from placing on the market products derived from bovine animals born or reared within the United Kingdom before 1 August 1996. Similarly, the United Kingdom should ensure that bovine animals born or reared in the United Kingdom before 1 August 1996 are not dispatched from its territory to other Member States or third countries.
(15) Under Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, the vertebral column of bovine animals over the age of 24 months is considered as specified risk material. The United Kingdom benefits from a derogation allowing the use of vertebral column derived from bovine animals under the age of 30 months. In addition, that Regulation establishes for the United Kingdom an extended list of specified risk material.
(16) Following the lifting of the current restrictions, the age limit for the removal of the vertebral column of bovine animals and the list of specified risk materials applicable in the other Member States should also apply in the United Kingdom. Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(17) In view of the current difference of the age limit for the removal of vertebral column as specified risk material in the United Kingdom and the other Member States, for control reasons the immediate effects of this Regulation should not apply to vertebral column from bovine animals born or reared in the United Kingdom after 31 July 1996 and slaughtered before the coming into force of this Regulation. Such vertebral column and products derived from such vertebral column should not be dispatched from the United Kingdom to other Member States or third countries.
(18) In the interest of clarity and the coherence of Community legislation, Commission Decision 98/351/EC of 29 May 1998 setting the date on which dispatch from Northern Ireland of bovine products under the Export Certified Herds Scheme may commence by virtue of Article 6(5) of Council Decision 98/256/EC (7) and Commission Decision 1999/514/EC of 23 July 1999 setting the date on which dispatch from the United Kingdom of bovine products under the date-based export scheme may commence by virtue of Article 6(5) of Council Decision 98/256/EC (8) should be repealed.
(19) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes III and XI to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Decisions 98/256/EC, 98/351/EC and 1999/514/EC are repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 866/2007
of 23 July 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Liberia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2007/93/CFSP of 12 February 2007 modifying and renewing Common Position 2004/137/CFSP concerning the restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia (2) provided for the implementation of the measures set out in United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia, including an arms embargo and a ban on the provision of technical and financial assistance related to military activities.
(2) In line with UN Security Council Resolutions 1647 (2005), 1683 (2006), 1689 (2006) and 1731 (2006), Council Common Positions 2006/31/CFSP (3), 2006/518/CFSP (4) and 2007/93/CFSP confirmed the restrictive measures of Common Position 2004/137/CFSP for a further period of time and provided for certain modifications.
(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 of 10 February 2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Liberia (5) prohibits the provision to Liberia of technical and financial assistance related to military activities and the import of rough diamonds from Liberia.
(4) In the light of developments in Liberia, the UN Security Council adopted, on 20 December 2006, Resolution 1731 (2006) renewing the restrictive measures imposed by UN Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003) and deciding that the measures on arms were not to apply to supplies of non-lethal military equipment, excluding non-lethal weapons and ammunition, as notified in advance to the Committee established by paragraph 21 of Resolution 1521 (2003), intended solely for use by members of the Government of Liberia police and security forces who had been vetted and trained since the inception of the United Nations Mission in Liberia in October 2003.
(5) Common Position 2007/93/CFSP makes provision for an additional exemption covering such supplies and calls for action by the Community.
(6) It is expedient to amend Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 regarding the identification of competent authorities.
(7) It is appropriate to give retroactive effect to the amendment to the date following the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1731 (2006).

(ii) non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, provided that the Committee established by paragraph 21 of UN Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003) has approved the export, sale, supply or transfer of the equipment concerned,
(iii) weapons and ammunition intended for use by members of the Government of Liberia police and security forces who have been vetted and trained since the inception of the United Nations Mission in Liberia in October 2003, provided that the Committee established by paragraph 21 of UN Security Council Resolution 1521 (2003) has approved the export, sale, supply or transfer of the weapons or ammunition concerned, or

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 9 and 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) Following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original investigation’), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of powdered activated carbon (‘PAC’) currently falling within CN code ex 3802 10 00 originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’) (‘the definitive anti-dumping measures’) by Regulation (EC) No 1006/96 (2). The measures took the form of a fixed duty of EUR 323 per tonne (net weight).
(2) Following two expiry reviews, the Council has maintained the measures in force by Regulation (EC) No 1011/2002 (3) (‘the first expiry review’) and Regulation (EC) No 649/2008 (4) (‘the second expiry review’) respectively.
2. Request for an expiry review
(3) Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (5) of the definitive anti-dumping measures in force, the Commission received on 9 April 2013 a request for the initiation of an expiry review of these measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by Cabot Norit Nederland BV and Cabot Norit (UK) Ltd (‘the applicants’) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of the total Union production of PAC, in this case more than 25 %.
(4) The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation of dumping and recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
3. Initiation of an expiry review
(5) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission announced on 6 July 2013, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(6) (‘the Notice of initiation’), the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE EXPIRY REVIEW REQUEST AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6) By a letter addressed to the Commission, dated 7 May 2014, the applicants formally withdrew their request for an expiry review.
(7) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, a proceeding may be terminated where the request for review is withdrawn unless such a termination would not be in the Union interest.
(8) The investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the Union interest. Therefore, the Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated and the anti-dumping duty in force repealed.
(9) Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to submit comments. No comments were received.
(10) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of PAC, originating in the PRC, should be terminated and the anti-dumping duty repealed.
(11) The repeal of the measures provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,
The anti-dumping duty on imports of powdered activated carbon currently falling within CN code ex 3802 10 00 (TARIC code 3802100020) originating in the People's Republic of China is repealed and the relevant proceeding is terminated.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 29 May 1999, by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding(2) in respect of imports of malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings (the product concerned) originating in Brazil, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand.
(2) This proceeding resulted in provisional anti-dumping duties being imposed in February 2000 against Brazil, the Czech Republic, Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand by Commission Regulation (EC) No 449/2000(3) in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3) In the same Regulation, the Commission accepted an undertaking offered by an exporting producer in the Czech Republic, Moravske Zelezรกrny a.s. (Moravske). Subject to the conditions set out in Regulation (EC) No 449/2000, imports of the product concerned into the Community from this company were exempted from the said provisional anti-dumping duties, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of the same Regulation.
(4) Definitive duties were later imposed against Brazil, the Czech Republic, Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand by Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2000(4). Subject to the conditions set out therein, this Regulation also granted goods manufactured and exported to the Community by Moravske an exemption to the definitive anti-dumping duties as an undertaking had already been accepted definitively from this company at the provisional stage of the proceeding.
B. BREACHES OF THE UNDERTAKING
1. Obligations of company with an undertaking
(5) The undertaking offered in the present case obliges the company concerned, inter alia, to export the product concerned to the Community at or above certain minimum import price levels (MIPs) specified therein. The company also undertakes not to circumvent the undertaking by making compensatory arrangements with any other party which causes the net price paid by the first independent customer for in the Community to be below the MIP.
(6) Furthermore, in order to allow effective monitoring of the undertaking, Moravske is obliged to send to the European Commission a quarterly report of all its export sales of the product concerned to the European Community. These reports should include details of all invoices issued during the period for sales made under the terms of the undertaking for which exemption to the anti-dumping duties is sought. The data submitted in these sales reports should be complete and correct in all particulars.
(7) For the purposes of ensuring compliance with the undertaking, Moravske also agreed to provide allow on-spot verification visits at its premises in order to verify the accuracy and veracity of data submitted in the said quarterly reports. In this regard, a verification visit was carried out at the premises of Moravske in the Czech Republic in September 2003.
2. Results of the verification visit
(8) The visit to Moravske established that sales to a particular customer in the Community of certain types of the product concerned had, according to the export invoices and undertaking sales reports, purportedly been made at prices in conformity with the MIPs, whilst sales to the same customer of products not subject to anti-dumping measures were at price levels significantly below Moravske's average sales prices for these other products when sold to other customers in the Community. The goods subject to the undertaking were then re-sold by the purchaser in the Community to a second company in another Member State.
(9) It was stated during the visit that, due to the level of the MIPs, Moravske was allegedly uncompetitive for certain fittings models in the second Member State. Moravske admitted that a system of cross-compensation between products subject to the undertaking and products outside the scope of the anti-dumping measures had been set up which allowed Moravske to sell those models at net (i.e. compensated) prices which were below the MIPs. Such sales by Moravske were, therefore, not in accordance with the terms of its undertaking.
(10) Upon being notified of the verification visit, the company had checked the quarterly undertaking sales reports previously submitted to the Commission. Just prior to the visit, the company informed the Commission that it had found sixteen invoices accompanying sales to the Community made under the terms of the undertaking which had been omitted from the quarterly sales reports. It was claimed that the errors were due to the company's accounting software programme. In addition, acting on information received from one of the Community's customs authorities, the Commission found during the visit that another invoice for sales to the Community had been not been included on the appropriate quarterly undertaking sales report. It was established that the invoice in question had been omitted due to incorrect destination country coding of the invoice in the company's accounting system.
(11) Although all the sales transactions on the seventeen omitted invoices had not been made to companies with which Moravske had compensation arrangements and were apparently in accordance with the MIPs, the fact remains that the company's accounting system failed to pick up the invoices for the purposes of the undertaking reports. The obligation of the company to submit complete reports of all its sales was not, therefore, met.
3. Breaches of the undertaking
(12) The compensation scheme found was considered to breach the undertaking. The failure to report all sales transactions to the Community was also a breach of the undertaking. The company was therefore informed in writing of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to withdraw acceptance of the its undertaking and to recommend the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty.
(13) Written submissions were made by the company within the due time limits and a hearing was also requested and granted.
(14) Within the framework of the current administrative procedure, the company also requested a copy of the Commission Services' internal report of the on-spot verification visit as, it was contended, without this document it could not adequately defend its interests. However, the company has, as provided for by Articles 8 (9) and 20 of Regulation 384/96, received in writing full disclosure of all the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended that the present decision be taken, and has been given adequate opportunity to comment on these facts and considerations prior to the present decision being taken. Hence, the company has received all information necessary to enable it to fully exercise its rights of defence. Therefore, this request could not be granted. A request for access to the report of the visit under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council(5) is being dealt with in accordance with the provisions of that Regulation.
(15) As concerns the issue of the compensation scheme, it was submitted that the amount of the compensation granted to the customer in question during 2002 was insignificant when viewed as part of the company's total exports to the Community of all products and that there was therefore no material breach. It was further argued that withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking due to this compensation scheme was out of proportion to the actions of the company.
(16) This argument concerning materiality cannot be accepted as the declared aim of the compensation scheme was to enable Moravske to sell its products in a certain Member State at prices below the MIPs and, therefore, at injurious price levels. In addition, even if a breach concerns only one customer in one Member State (or even only one transaction), a violation such as this clearly breaks the relationship of trust which formed the basis for the European Commission accepting the undertaking in the first place.
(17) Moreover, as also concerns the issue of materiality and proportionality, it should be recalled that the jurisprudence of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities has confirmed that any breach of an undertaking is sufficient grounds for withdrawing acceptance thereof(6).
(18) With regard to the question of the invoices which had been omitted from its sales reports to the Commission, Moravske made reference to another anti-dumping case(7) in which a Norwegian company had acceptance of its undertaking withdrawn by the Commission following a breach of its terms. The Norwegian company concerned later requested a partial interim review of the anti-dumping/subsidy measures applicable to it, which was granted. Following a new investigation by the Commission Services, a fresh undertaking was accepted from the company concerned, some three years after acceptance of the original undertaking was withdrawn.
(19) In this regard, Moravske drew attention to the fact that one of the reasons for accepting the new undertaking from the Norwegian company related to improvements to its accounting system. Moravske indicated that it too would be prepared to improve its accounting system so as to ensure that omissions of invoices did not occur again and that the "benefit" accorded to the Norwegian exporter in this regard should also be granted to it.
(20) In response to this submission, it should first be made clear that the two cases are not the same. The Norwegian company had acceptance of its undertaking withdrawn following a breach, and it was only several years later, after an investigation determined that the circumstances had changed in the meantime, that another undertaking was accepted from the company. Moreover, several elements were taken into account which satisfied the Commission that the same breach would not re-occur (with improvements made to the Norwegian company's accounting system being only one aspect of the overall assessment).
(21) This situation is therefore different to that of Moravske, which concerns the non-observance of a current undertaking. What the company would do in the future if the Commission refrained from withdrawing acceptance of its undertaking is hypothetical and cannot be considered as sufficient grounds for halting the current administrative procedure.
(22) Moravske also submitted that production of the product concerned had been shifted outside the Community by two of the companies that had lodged the complaint which led to the current definitive anti-dumping measures. It was argued that there was therefore no further need for measures, as there was no Community industry to protect and that it was not in the Community interest to reimpose an anti-dumping duty on imports from Moravske.
(23) In this regard, the Commission subsequently contacted the companies constituting the Community industry in the proceeding who confirmed that no significant relocation of production outside the Community of the product concerned had taken place. Even if the allegation concerning relocation of production had proved to be correct, this does not alter the fact that Moravske has breached its undertaking and that accordingly, acceptance of the undertaking may be withdrawn immediately.
C. AMENDMENT OF COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 449/2000
(24) In the light of the above, Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 449/2000 accepting an undertaking from Moravske Zelezรกrny a.s. should be deleted and Articles 3 and 4 of that Regulation should be renumbered accordingly,
Acceptance of the undertaking offered by Moravske Zelezรกrny a.s. is hereby withdrawn.

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 the Community has bound the customs duty on television image and sound recorders or reproducers falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff at a rate of 8 %; whereas that binding is contained in the schedule LXXII-EEC annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT);
Whereas the Community has found it desirable to replace the voluntary export restraints on the abovementioned products, which expired on 31 December 1985, with an appropriate tariff measure, thereby providing adequate import protection consistent with the GATT; whereas the Community accordingly invoked Article XXVIII of the GATT in order to modify its international commitment on the level of its customs duties for the products in question;
Whereas in the absence of an agreement with the main supplier, the Community modified the concession in question in accordance with Article XXVIII (3) (a) of the GATT; whereas the tariff concession on certain of the said products was raised from 8 % to 14 % from 1 January 1986; whereas by way of compensation the tariff concession on certain products falling within subheading 85.21 D II was reduced from 17 % to 14 % and those on certain products falling within subheading 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
Whereas the appropriate amendments to the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 were made by Regulation (EEC) No 3679/85 (1);
Whereas since 1 January 1986 the Community has reached an agreement with the main supplier; whereas as a result of this agreement certain modifications have been made to the scope of the products falling within subheadings 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A in respect of which duties were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
Whereas these amendments should therefore be made to the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/480/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the United Kingdom,
Whereas in the United Kingdom the production of linseed seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC has been insufficient in 1987 and therefore is not adequate to meet the needs of that country;
Whereas it is not possible to cover these needs satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply the United Kingdom with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for the United Kingdom;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. The United Kingdom is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing in its territory of the following maximum quantities of seed of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.):
(a) 70 tonnes of the category 'basic seed' which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to contamination by the harmful organisms (Alternaria, etc.) referred to in column 3 of the Table in Annex II, section I (3) (A);
(b) 310 tonnes of the category 'certified seed, first generation' and 1 250 tonnes of the category 'certified seed, second generation' which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to minimum germination capacity or with regard to contamination by the abovementioned harmful organisms.
2. The following requirements shall be satisfied:
(a) in the case of seed of the category 'basic seed', the maximum percentage by number of seeds contaminated by the abovementioned harmful organisms shall be 10 % and the official label shall bear the endorsements:
- 'Harmful organisms (Alternaria, etc.) not exceeding 10 %',
- 'Intended exclusively for the UK';
(b) in the case of seed of the categories 'certified seed, first generation', and 'certified seed, second generation', the germination capacity shall be at least 75 % of pure seed and the maximum percentage by number of seeds contaminated by the abovementioned harmful organisms shall be 10 %. The official label shall bear the endorsements:
- 'Minimum germination 75 %',
- 'Harmful organisms (Alternaria, etc.) not exceeding 10 %',
- 'Intended exclusively for the UK'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territories of a maximum of 1 630 tonnes of seed of linseed provided that it is intended
exclusively for the United Kingdom. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (2), point (a) or point (b), as the case may be.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Black Sea biogeographical region referred to in Article 1(c)(iii) of Directive 92/43/EEC comprises parts of the territories of Bulgaria and Romania as specified in the biogeographical map approved on 20 April 2005 by the Committee set up by Article 20 of that Directive, hereinafter ‘the Habitats Committee’.
(2) It is necessary in the context of a process which was initiated in 1995 to make further progress in the actual establishment of the Natura 2000 network, which is an essential element of the protection of biodiversity in the Community.
(3) For the Black Sea biogeographical region, lists of sites proposed as sites of Community importance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC have been transmitted to the Commission between May 2004 and January 2008, in accordance with Article 4(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, by Bulgaria and Romania.
(4) The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by information on each site, supplied in the format established by Commission Decision 97/266/EC of 18 December 1996 concerning a site information format for proposed Natura 2000 sites (2).
(5) That information includes the most recent and definitive map of the site transmitted by the Member States concerned, name, location and extent of the site, and the data yielded by application of the criteria specified in Annex III to Directive 92/43/EEC.
(6) On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commission in agreement with each of the Member States concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, a list of sites selected as sites of Community importance should be adopted.
(7) Knowledge of the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types and species is constantly evolving, as a result of the surveillance in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 92/43/EEC. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Community level was done using the best available information at present.
(8) The Member States concerned have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements of Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those habitat types and species it can therefore not be concluded that the network is complete. Taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, it is necessary to adopt an initial list of sites, which will need to be revised in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.
(9) Given that knowledge on the existence and distribution of some of the natural habitat types of Annex I and species of Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the network is either complete or incomplete. The initial list should be revised, if necessary, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,
The initial list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1984 was less than the corrsponding value on 1 October 1982; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,

(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of zinc chloride hydroxide monohydrate. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of zinc chloride hydroxide monohydrate as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 26 April 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, zinc chloride hydroxide monohydrate does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that its use may be considered as an effective source of zinc for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of zinc chloride hydroxide monohydrate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

of 3 July 2009
entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Aceto Balsamico di Modena (PGI)]
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) and pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Italy’s application to register the name ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Germany, Greece and France submitted objections to the registration under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. These objections were deemed admissible under points (a) to (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) Germany’s objection referred in particular to the concern that the registration of ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ as a protected geographical indication would adversely affect other products that have been placed lawfully on the market for at least five years and sold as Balsamessig/Aceto balsamico, as well as to the alleged generic character of these terms. Germany also pointed to the lack of clarity regarding the stages of production which must take place in the area of origin.
(4) France’s objection concerned the fact that ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ does not have its own reputation that is distinct from that of ‘Aceto balsamico tradizionale di Modena’, which has already been registered as a protected designation of origin under Council Regulation (EC) No 813/2000 (3). France claims that consumers could be misled as to the nature and origin of the product in question.
(5) Greece stressed the importance of balsamic vinegar production in Greece, which is marketed under names such as ‘balsamico’ or ‘balsamon’ and the negative impact that registration of the name ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ would have on these products, which have been placed lawfully on the market for at least five years. Greece also maintains that the terms ‘aceto balsamico’, ‘balsamic’, etc. are generic.
(6) By letters dated 4 March 2008, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(7) Given that no agreement was reached between France, Germany, Greece and Italy within the designated timeframe, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(8) The Commission has requested the opinion of the scientific committee for designations of origin, geographical indications and certificates of specific character established under Decision 93/53/EC (4) as to whether the conditions for registration were met. The committee stated in its unanimous opinion submitted on 6 March 2006 that the name ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ has an undeniable reputation on the national and international market, as demonstrated by its frequent use in numerous recipes in many Member States, and the many references to it on the Internet, in the press and other media. ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ therefore meets the inherent condition for the product having a specific reputation linked to that name. The committee noted the fact that these products have co-existed on the market for hundreds of years. It also noted that ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ and ‘Aceto balsamico tradizionale di Modena’ are different as regards their characteristics, customer base, usage, method of distribution, presentation and price, thereby ensuring the fair treatment of the producers in question and not misleading consumers. The Commission fully concurs with these points.
(9) In order to further distinguish between these products, it has been pointed out that numerical qualifiers were included in the general ban on using terms other than those expressly provided for in the technical specifications. Moreover, a number of minor changes have been made to the technical specifications for the term ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ aimed at removing any ambiguities.
(10) It appears that Germany and Greece did not refer to the entire name, i.e. ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ in their objections regarding the generic nature of the name proposed for registration, but only to some elements of it, namely the words ‘aceto’, ‘balsamico’ and ‘aceto balsamico’, or to translations thereof. However, protection is granted to the term ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ as a whole. Individual non-geographical components of that term may be used, even jointly and also in translation, throughout the Community, provided the principles and rules applicable in the Community’s legal order are respected.
(11) In the light of the above, the name ‘Aceto Balsamico di Modena’ should be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
The name contained in Annex I to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
A consolidated version of the summary containing the main points of the specification is set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1163/2002(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1324/2002(5).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) 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.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, excluding malt, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 26(3) and Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 14(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (2), import licence applications for quotas managed according to the provisions of Chapter I of Title 2 of that Regulation may only be lodged during the first 10 days of each six-month period.

(3) Article 18(1)(d) provides that for a transitional period expiring on 31 July 2002 the details of the density of the grape must may be replaced by details of the density expressed by the alcoholic strength in degrees Oechsle.
(4) That unit is traditionally used by wine producers and operators in the sector in some Member States for the purpose of monitoring vinification processes. It replaces details of the density of the grape must in the documents accompanying carriage beginning and ending on the territory of those Member States.
(5) In view of the technical problems encountered by small-scale producers in adjusting to a new unit of measurement the derogation should be extended by allowing the Member States concerned to express must density in degrees Oechsle in accompanying documents concerning the carriage of grape must beginning and ending on their territory without passing through the territory of another Member State or of a third country.
(6) The measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

Whereas the labelling required by Directive 88/379/EEC constitutes a basic source of information for users of dangerous preparations by giving them a clear, concise indication of the potential dangers; whereas that labelling needs to be supplemented by a more detailed information system for industrial users;
Whereas Article 10 of Directive 88/379/EEC provides for the setting up of an information system in the form of safety data sheets relating to dangerous preparations; whereas, moreover, this Article specifies that such information is principally intended for industrial users and must enable them to take the measures necessary to ensure the protection of health and safety at the workplace;
Whereas there are close links between Directive 88/379/EEC and Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967, on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (3), as last amended by Directive 79/831/EEC (4); whereas it is therefore desirable to establish a system of safety data sheets which is applicable to both dangerous substances and dangerous preparations; whereas the implementing provisions for dangerous substances will be laid down in due course;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 in conjunction with Article 228(2) first sentence thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (1), provides for close cooperation in commercial matters between the two parties;
Whereas, following the Hungarian request for a World Trade Organisation (WTO) waiver under which Hungary would be entitled to grant additional subsidies for agricultural exports there might be a risk of disturbances on Community markets;
Whereas, the safeguard provisions in the abovementioned Europe Agreement are not sufficiently specific to deal with this risk;
Whereas, in order to limit this risk it is appropriate to agree on a fast track safeguard clause,
The exchange of letters between the European Community and the Republic of Hungary on certain import arrangements for agricultural products is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Regulation.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the exchange of letters in order to bind the Community.
1. The Commission shall, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, decide upon the necessary measures in accordance with the Agreement referred to in Article 1.

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 the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden (1), signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, does not provide for the prohibition of quantitative restrictions affecting exports and measures having equivalent effect;
Whereas it is in the interest of the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden to promote the free circulation of raw materials and goods by abolishing any such restrictions and measures and by preventing the creation of new restrictions or measures affecting their mutual trade;
Whereas it is necessary both to make arrangements for a phased abolition of current restrictions affecting certain products or measures having equivalent effect and to provide for safeguard measures in the event either of re-export towards third countries against which the exporting Contracting Party maintains restrictions or measures having equivalent effect or in the event of serious shortage of a particular product;
Whereas under Article 32 (1) of the Agreement, the Contracting Parties may, in the interest of their economies, develop the relations established by the Agreement by extending it to fields not covered thereby;
Whereas the Commission has held negotiations with the Kingdom of Sweden, which have resulted in a Protocol,
The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between
the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden concerning the elimination of existing and prevention of new quantitative restrictions affecting exports or measures having equivalent effect is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

and shall inform the competent authorities accordingly.
2. The competent body immediately inform all parties concerned of the Commission's decision.
1. The competent authority shall issue import licences on the basis of the decision taken by the Commission pursuant to the first indent of Article 4 (1).

Having regard to the requests submitted by certain Member States,
Whereas production of reproductive material of the species set out in the Annexes is at present insufficient in all Member States, with the result that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directives 66/404/EEC and 71/161/EEC cannot be met;
Whereas third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directives;
Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of reproductive material of the relevant species which satisfies less stringent requirements to cover the shortage of reproductive material satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/404/EEC and 71/161/EEC;
Whereas, for genetic reasons, the reproductive material must be collected at places of origin within the natural range of the relevant species and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the identity of the material;
Whereas, furthermore, reproductive material should be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;
Whereas each of the Member States should furthermore be authorized to permit the marketing in its territory of seeds and plants which satisfy less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC, or seed which satisfies less stringent requirements in respect of specific purity as laid down in Directive 71/161/EEC, if the marketing of such material has been authorized in the other Member States under this Decision;

1. Member States are authorized to permit the marketing in their territory of seed which does not satisfy the requirements in respect of provenance in Directive 66/404/EEC on the terms set out in Annex I hereto and on condition that the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected.
2. Member States are authorized to permit the marketing in their territory of plants produced in the Community from the abovementioned seed.
1. The proof referred to in Article 1 (1) and 3 shall be deemed to be furnished where the reproductive material is of the category 'source identified reproductive material` as defined in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) scheme for the control of forest reproductive material moving in international trade, or of another category defined in that scheme.
2. Where the OECD scheme referred to in paragraph 1 is not used at the place of provenance of the reproductive material, other official evidence shall be admissible.
3. Where official evidence cannot be provided, Member States may accept other non-official evidence.
Member States are authorized on the terms set out in Annex II hereto, to permit the marketing in their territory of seed which neither satisfies the requirements in respect of provenance in Directive 66/404/EEC nor the requirements relating to specific purity in Annex I to Directive 71/161/EEC, on condition that:
- the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected, and

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8, 11(3) and 22 (c) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002 (2) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of colour television receivers (‘the product concerned’) originating i.a. in the People's Republic of China (‘China’). By the Commission Decision 2002/683/EC (3), an undertaking was accepted for seven exporters in China: Haier Electrical Appliances Corporation Ltd, Hisense Import & Export Co. Ltd, Konka Group Co. Ltd, Sichuan Changhong Electric Co. Ltd, Skyworth Multimedia International (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd, TCL King Electrical Appliances (HuiZhou) Co. Ltd and Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronic Co, Ltd.
(2) The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, was set at 44,6 % for imports of the product concerned from China by Regulation 1531/2002.
2. Investigation
(3) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (4) the initiation of a number of partial interim reviews of anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain products originating in the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 22(c) of the basic Regulation. The anti-dumping measure imposed on imports of colour television receivers originating in China is one of the measures on which the review was initiated (‘the measures’).
(4) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘Enlargement’), it would be appropriate to adapt the measures.
(5) Since a certain quantity of the imports of the product concerned originating in China is currently subject to a price undertaking for a specific volume, the review of the measures was initiated in order to examine whether this undertaking, which was drawn up on the basis of data for a Community of 15 Member States, should be adapted to take account of the Enlargement.
3. Parties concerned by the investigation
(6) All interested parties known to the Commission, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporters/producers in the countries concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the ten new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘the EU10’) were informed of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
(7) In this regard, the following interested parties made their views known:
(a) Community producer:
— Royal Philips Electronics, Eindhoven, Netherlands

B. PRODUCT CONCERNED
(8) The product concerned is colour television receivers with a diagonal screen size of more than 15,5 cm, whether or not combined in the same housing with a radio broadcast receiver and/or clock. This product is currently classifiable within CN codes ex 8528 12 52, 8528 12 54, 8528 12 56, 8528 12 58, ex 8528 12 62 and 8528 12 66.
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Claims made by interested parties
(9) The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME) acting on behalf of the companies for whom the undertaking was granted in conjunction with CCCME submitted that the volume of imports to which the price undertaking applies was established on the basis of a proportion of the apparent consumption of the EU of 15 Member States. It argued that, therefore, the undertaking should be revised in order to take due account of the market of the EU of 25 Member States. It claimed that such revision was essential in order to avoid discrimination in favour of the other exporters of the product concerned to the EU.
2. Comments received from Member States
(10) The Member States have made their views known and the majority of them support adapting the measures in order to take account of the Enlargement.
3. Assessment
(11) An analysis was made of the available data and information which confirmed that the import volumes of the product concerned from China into the EU10 were significant. Considering that the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking currently in force was established on the basis of the EU of 15 Member States, it does not take into account the effect of the increase of the market following the Enlargement.
4. Conclusion
(12) Considering the above, it is concluded that, to take account of Enlargement it is appropriate to adapt the measures in order to cater for the additional imports volume into the EU10 market.
(13) The original volume of imports subject to the price undertaking for the EU of 15 Member States was calculated as a growing amount that should reach a given proportion of apparent EU consumption for the fifth year of the undertaking. The amount of the increase of the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking may be calculated following the same calculation method.
(14) Accordingly, it is considered appropriate that the Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking reflecting the situation after the Enlargement on the basis of the method described in recital 13,
The Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking increasing the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking accepted by Decision 2002/683/EC as regards imports of colour television receivers originating in the People's Republic of China. The increase shall be calculated by using the same calculation method that was used when the original price undertaking was established for the EU of 15 Member States, that is as a growing amount reaching a given proportion of apparent EU consumption for the fifth year of the undertaking.
This Regulation shall enter into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of certain wine grape vine varieties listed for at least five years as provisionally authorized for certain French administrative units has been found to be satisfactory, particularly as regards the Muscat de Hambourg N variety which enhances the taste of wine obtained from varieties which have little flavour; whereas, therefore, those varieties should be included among the vine varieties definitively authorized for the said administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79, the Member State concerned having adopted the provisions necessary to ensure that such classification will not undermine the accessory nature of the use of those vine varieties for wine-making purposes;
Whereas steps should be taken on this occasion to correct a substantive error appearing in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 is hereby amended in accordance with the provisions obtained in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1983. However, the second indent of points II 11 (b) and III of the Annex shall apply from 1 September 1981 and 23 February 1983 respectively.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry should be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 of 22 December 2009 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin (2).
(3) An application for the establishment of MRLs for double stranded ribonucleic acid homologous to viral ribonucleic acid coding for part of the coat protein and part of the intergenic region of the Israel Acute Paralysis Virus for bees has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(4) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use has recommended that for this pharmacologically active substance a standard pharmacological and toxicological approach, including the setting of a level of acceptable daily intake, is not appropriate and that there is no need to establish an MRL, applicable to honey, for double stranded ribonucleic acid homologous to viral ribonucleic acid coding for part of the coat protein and part of the intergenic region of the Israel Acute Paralysis Virus for bees.
(5) According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to always consider the use of MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use has concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.
(6) Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance double stranded ribonucleic acid homologous to viral ribonucleic acid coding for part of the coat protein and part of the intergenic region of the Israel Acute Paralysis Virus for bees while establishing the absence of the need to establish a MRL, applicable to honey.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 3(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 the Convergence objective aims at speeding up the Convergence of the least developed Member States and regions.
(2) Pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 the regions eligible for funding from the Structural Funds under the Convergence objective shall be regions corresponding to level 2 of the Nomenclature of Territorial Statistical Units (hereinafter NUTS level 2) within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) whose per capita gross domestic product (GDP), measured in purchasing power parities and calculated on the basis of Community figures for the period 2000-2002, is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-25 for the same reference period.
(3) Pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 specifies that the NUTS level 2 regions which would have been eligible for Convergence objective status under Article 5(1) of that Regulation had the eligibility threshold remained at 75 % of average GDP of the EU-15, but which lose eligibility because their nominal per capita GDP level will exceed 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-25, measured and calculated according to the same Article 5(1), are also eligible, on a transitional and specific basis, for financing by the Structural Funds under the Convergence objective.
(4) It is necessary to establish the lists of eligible regions accordingly,
The regions eligible for funding from the Structural Funds under the Convergence objective shall be those listed in Annex I.
The regions eligible for funding from the Structural Funds under the Convergence objective on a transitional and specific basis, as referred to in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, shall be those listed in Annex II.

| COUNCIL DECISION of 30 March 1995 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to apply a measure derogating from Article 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (95/114/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion and advoidance;
Whereas, by official letters, received by the Commission on 4 July and 17 August 1994 respectively, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have requested authorization to introduce a special measure concerning the construction and maintenance of a transfrontier motorway bridge crossing the river Moselle to the north of Perl and Schengen and linking the German A8 motorway going west from Saarbruecken with the Luxembourg A13 motorway going east from the Dudelange motorway junction;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 27 (3) of Directive 77/388/EEC the other Member States were informed on 16 September 1994 of the requests for authorization received from the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;
Whereas in the absence of a special measure, for each supply of goods and services used for the construction and maintenance of the bridge in question it would have to be established whether the place of taxation was in Germany or Luxembourg; whereas such taxation arrangements would give rise to considerable practical difficulties;
Whereas the purpose of this derogation is to simplify the procedure for charging the tax on the construction and maintenance of the bridge in question;
Whereas the derogation will not affect the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage and will therefore not affect the Community's own resources arising from value added tax,
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are hereby authorized, in respect of the motorway bridge over the river Moselle to the north of Perl and Schengen linking the German A8 motorway going west from Saarbruecken with the Luxembourg A13 motorway going east from the Dudelange motorway junction, to consider, for the duration of the construction of the bridge, the whole of the construction site as being within the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and, with effect from the completion of the bridge, the whole of the bridge to be within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.

of 16 December 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 20 December 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(1) opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products. Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. New Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2) It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.
(3) In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2003 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should be replaced by the table in Annex I to this Regulation.
(4) The quota amount for certain autonomous Community tariff quotas is insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. Consequently, these quota amounts should be increased with effect from 1 January 2002 or 1 July 2002 depending on the starting date of these quotas and therefore the immediate entry into force of this Regulation should be envisaged.
(5) Tariff quotas for certain iron and steel products which have been covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community are subject, from the expiry date of that Treaty, to the Treaty establishing the European Community. A separate Annex, comprising these quotas, has consequently to be added to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1) is replaced by the following:
"1. The import duties on the goods listed in Annexes I and III shall be suspended at the indicated duty rate for the periods and in the amounts indicated therein."
2. The table in Annex I is replaced by the table set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
3. Annex II to this Regulation is added as Annex III.
For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2002 Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:
- order number 09.2711: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 375000 tonnes,
- order number 09.2837: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 450 tonnes,
- order number 09.2959: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 77000 tonnes.
For the quota period from 1 July to 31 December 2002 Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:
- order number 09.2902: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 20000 units,
- order number 09.2935: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 70000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2003, except for Article 2 which shall apply from 1 January 2002 and Article 3 which shall apply from 1 July 2002.

Whereas imports into the Community of those products originating in Yugoslavia have reached that ceiling; whereas the situation on the Community market requires that customs duties applicable to third countries on the products in question be re-established,
From 7 September to 31 December 1985, the levying of customs duties applicable to third countries shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products:
1.2.3 // // // // CCT heading No // Description // Origin // // // // 70.05 // Unworked drawn or blown glass (including flashed glass), in rectangles // Yugoslavia // // //

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 47(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) provides that certain measures are to be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (6) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to adopt the measures necessary for the implementation of Directive 2002/87/EC in order to clarify the technical aspects of some of the definitions provided for in that Directive, notably to take into account developments in financial markets and prudential techniques and to ensure the uniform application of that Directive within the Community. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2002/87/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(5) Directive 2002/87/EC provides for a time restriction concerning the implementing powers conferred on the Commission. In their statement concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission stated that Decision 2006/512/EC provides a horizontal and satisfactory solution to the European Parliament’s wish to scrutinise the implementation of instruments adopted under the co-decision procedure and that, accordingly, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission without time limit. The European Parliament and the Council also declared that they would make sure that the proposals aimed at repealing the provisions in the instruments that provide for a time limit on the delegation of implementing powers to the Commission are adopted as rapidly as possible. Following the introduction of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the provision establishing that time restriction in Directive 2002/87/EC should be deleted.
(6) The Commission should, at regular intervals, evaluate the functioning of the provisions concerning the implementing powers conferred on it in order to allow the European Parliament and the Council to determine whether the extent of those powers and the procedural requirements imposed on the Commission are appropriate and ensure both efficiency and democratic accountability.
(7) Directive 2002/87/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) Since the amendments made to Directive 2002/87/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,
Amendments
Directive 2002/87/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 20(1) shall be amended as follows:
(a) the words ‘, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 21(2),’ shall be deleted;
(b) the following subparagraph shall be added:
2. Article 21 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) and (2) and Article 234 (2) and (3) thereof,
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), and in particular Article 4 (4), Article 5 (1), and Article 11 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the target price for olive oil production must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Articles 4 and 6 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas the intervention price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas the representative market price must be fixed according to the criteria laid down in Article 7 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas the threshold price must be fixed in such a way that the selling price for the imported product at the frontier crossing point determined in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC is the same as the representative market price, account being taken of the effect of the measures referred to in Article 11 (6) of the said Regulation;
Whereas, if producers are to receive a fair income, production aid must be fixed in the light of the impact which the consumption aid has on part only of production;
Whereas the situation on the olive oil market makes it possible to continue the readjustment of consumption aid and production aid began during the 1991/92 marketing year; whereas the significant reduction of consumption aid or the intervention price could bring about a temporary disturbance of the market, particularly in the passage from one marketing year to another; whereas, in order to redress these difficulties, provision should be made for the possibility of adopting interim measures;
Whereas Articles 95 and 293 of the Act of Accession make provision for Community aid for the production of olive oil in Spain and Portugal; whereas Articles 79 and 246 of that Act provide for the progressive alignment of the Community aid in Spain and Portugal on the common aid at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas, in the light of the increase in production aid following the decrement in consumption aid, application of the rules on that alignment would have the effect of increasing the difference between the level of aid in Spain and Portugal and the level applicable in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas, to avoid this inequitable effect, the rules should be amended so as to maintain the rate of alignment provided for in the Act of Accession;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 5 (4) and Article 20d (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the percentages of production aid to be allocated to finance measures to improve the quality of olive oil production and to finance expenditure incurred in the work done by recognized producer organizations or associations thereof in administering and controlling olive oil production aid should be determined;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 (5) and (6) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, a certain percentage of the consumption aid during each olive oil marketing year is to be used, on the one hand, to finance measures by the recognized trade organizations referred to in paragraph 3 of the abovementioned Article and, on the other hand, to finance measures to promote olive oil consumption in the Community; whereas the said percentages for the 1994/95 marketing year should be fixed; whereas having regard to the financing already laid down for the promotion actions referred to in the abovementioned Article 11 (6), the percentage relating thereto is set at zero for the marketing 1994/95;
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC fixes, for a specified period, the maximum quantity in respect of which the unit amount of production aid fixed for each of the marketing years in question is to be payable; whereas, in compliance with the terms laid down therein, the maximum quantity applicable for each of those marketing years should be maintained, in respect of the 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996/97 marketing years, at the level specified,
1. For the 1994/95 marketing year, the production target price and the intervention price for olive oil shall be as follows:
(a) production target price: ECU 317,82/100 kg;
(b) intervention price: ECU 162,40/100 kg.
2. The prices fixed in paragraph 1 shall be for ordinary virgin olive oil with a free fatty-acid content, expressed as oleic acid, of 3,3 g/100 g.
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the representative market price and the threshold price for olive oil shall be as follows:
(a) representative market price: ECU 190,06/100 kg;
(b) threshold price: ECU 186,44/100 kg.
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the production aid shall be as follows:
(a) production aid:
- for Spain: ECU 106,84/100 kg,
- for Portugal: ECU 106,84/100 kg,
- for the Community of Ten: ECU 117,76/100 kg;
(b) production aid for growers whose average production is less than 500 kg of olive oil per marketing year:
- for Spain: ECU 114,11/100 kg,
- for Portugal: ECU 114,11/100 kg,
- for the Community of Ten: ECU 125,45/100 kg.
1. For the 1994/95 marketing year, 1,4 % of the production aid earmarked for olive oil producers shall be allocated to the financing of specific measures to improve the quality of olive oil production in each producer Member State.
2. For the 1994/95 marketing year, the percentage of the production aid which may be withheld pursuant to Article 20d (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC for organizations of olive oil producers or associations thereof recognized under the said Regulation shall be 0,8 %.
1. For the 1994/95 marketing year, the percentage of consumption aid referred to in Article 11 (5) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be 5,5 %.
2. For the 1994/95 marketing year, the percentage of consumption aid to be allocated to the measures referred to in Article 11 (6) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be zero.
For the 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996/97 marketing years, the maximum production of olive oil referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be 1 350 000 tonnes for each of those marketing years.
If specific measures are necessary to resolve temporary problems arising from the reduction in consumption aid or the intervention price for olive oil, such measures should be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/2/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Hellenic Republic,
Whereas in Greece the production of durum wheat seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1989 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Greece should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 March 1990, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply Greece with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for Greece;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Hellenic Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 March 1990, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 5 000 tonnes of durum wheat seed (Triticum durum Desf.) of very early, short-stemmed varieties of the category 'certified seed of the second generation', which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 78 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'minimum germination capacity 78 %',
- 'intended exclusively for Greece'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 5 000
tonnes of durum wheat seed provided that it is intended exclusively for Greece. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 May 1990 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

of 11 February 2010
extending the suspension of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Following a review investigation carried out pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (review investigation), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China currently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 99 and ex 3808 93 27 (the ‘product concerned’), as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Malaysia (whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not) with the exception of those produced by Crop Protection (M) Sdn. Bhd. and as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Taiwan (whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not) with the exception of those produced by Sinon Corporation. The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 29,9 %.
(2) By Decision 2009/383/EC (3) (the ‘suspension Decision’), the Commission suspended the definitive anti-dumping duties for a period of 9 months, with effect from 16 May 2009.
(3) On 29 September 2009 an expiry review of the measures was initiated (4), further to a request lodged by the Union industry.
B. GROUNDS FOR EXTENDING THE SUSPENSION
(4) Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that anti-dumping measures may be suspended for a period of 9 months by a decision of the Commission on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such a suspension. Article 14(4) further specifies that the suspension may be extended for a further period, not exceeding 1 year, if the Council so decides, acting on a proposal from the Commission.
(5) Following the suspension of the definitive anti-dumping duties by Decision 2009/383/EC, the Commission has continued to monitor the market situation of glyphosate, in particular with regard to import flows from the People’s Republic of China.
(6) An examination of recent import flows reveals that imports from the People’s Republic of China remained at low levels and even decreased after the suspension of the measures.
(7) With regard to the Union industry, it is noted that its situation has remained stable after the entry into force of the suspension on 16 May 2009. Notwithstanding a moderate decrease in production and sales of the generic product (basic product from which formulations are obtained) in direct competition with the Chinese imports, this trend is in line with the reduced consumption figures for the period between September 2008 and August 2009. Favourable unit sale prices (indicating the Union industry’s shifting focus towards formulated products at higher added value) and stable costs of production enabled the industry to achieve a comfortable profit for the period between September 2008 and August 2009. On the basis of the market information currently available, it is not expected that this situation will change substantially in the short term in the event of an extension of the suspension of the measures.
(8) Due to, inter alia, a considerable amount of stocks held by producers, importers and users the market appears stable in the months following the suspension. Imports from China have decreased considerably between May and October 2009 and are lower in comparison with the period when the anti-dumping duty was in place. Against this background of decreased imports, the decreased export prices from China seen between May and October 2009 did not have a significant impact on the situation of the Union industry. Sufficient evidence is not at hand showing that imports will surge in the short term.
(9) Notwithstanding the indications given by the Union industry on increased production capacity in the People’s Republic of China, current statistics do not show evidence of increased imports in the EU. Even though Chinese production capacity is likely to continue to increase in the next years, the worldwide demand is also expected to grow. In addition, the internal Chinese market consumption has increased considerably. It must also be pointed out that the actual output resulting from this capacity expansion has been limited.
(10) No indications have been found as to why the prolongation of the suspension would not be in the Union interest.
(11) In conclusion, notwithstanding a decrease in export prices from the People’s Republic of China during the recent months, factors such as the low imported quantities and the high profit levels of the Union industry indicate that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China is unlikely to resume as a result of the extension of the suspension. The continuation of the suspension will in principle be for 1 year. However, in accordance with Article 14(4) last paragraph of the basic Regulation, the measures may at any time be reinstated if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable. This might in particular be decided if it is found in the expiry review that the measures should continue.
(12) It is recalled that this analysis is without prejudice to the outcome of the current review initiated pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, which is subject to different legal criteria.
C. CONSULTATION OF THE UNION INDUSTRY
(13) In accordance with the provisions of Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Union industry of its intention to extend the suspension of the anti-dumping measures in force. The Union industry has been given an opportunity to comment and to be heard and their comments were taken into account. In particular it is recalled that in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of the basic Regulation, the injury analysis is performed with respect to the Union industry as a whole and, as a result, the global situation of the Union industry may not necessarily reflect the situation of all individual producers.
D. CONCLUSION
(14) The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for extending the suspension of the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 should continue to be suspended for a period of 1 year.
(15) The Commission will continue to monitor the development of imports and the prices of the product concerned. Should the situation which led to the extension of the suspension change subsequently, the Commission may reinstate the anti-dumping measures by repealing the suspension of the anti-dumping duties forthwith,
The suspension of the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Decision 2009/383/EC is hereby extended for a period of 1 year.

Whereas:
(1) On 9 June 1995, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of unwrought unalloyed zinc originating in Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan and commenced an investigation. As far as Poland and Russia are concerned, the results of this investigation are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 593/97 (4);
(2) The investigation revealed that imports of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan are below the negligibility threshold referred to in Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, since imports from those countries represent a market share of below 1 % respectively and below 3 % collectively of the Community consumption. Consequently, the injury suffered by the Community industry as a result of imports from Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan is to be regarded as negligible and the proceeding should be terminated with respect to imports of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating in those countries,
The proceeding concerning imports of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1433/97 (5) fixes quantities for imports of bananas into the Community for the fourth quarter of 1997 for imports originating in the ACP States under the traditional quantities imported;
Whereas, for Cameroon the quantities requested for traditional imports of ACP bananas during the fourth quarter of 1997 are higher than the quantities fixed by Regulation (EC) No 1433/97; whereas, as a result, a single reduction percentage should be fixed for each application indicating this country of origin pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;
Whereas this Regulation should take effect without delay in order to allow licences to be issued as quickly as possible,
For the fourth quarter of 1997, as regards licence applications for traditional imports of bananas originating in the ACP States, import licences shall be issued:
- for the quantity indicated in the licence application, multiplied by a reduction coefficient of 0,9729 for applications indicating the origin 'Cameroon`,
- in the case of applications indicating other origins, for the quantities indicated in the application.

fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 168 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).
(5) The third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provides for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 265/2011 (6). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 3,5/100 kg.
Regulation (EU) No 265/2011 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2011.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cabbage lettuce is produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for it;
Whereas cabbage lettuce harvested during a given crop year is marketed from July to June of the following year; whereas the quantities imported from 1 July to 31 October and in June are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 31 May of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 147 of the Act of Accession, Spanish prices shall be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices as and from 1 January 1990;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the reference prices for cabbage lettuce (CN codes 0705 11 10 and 90), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3), Whereas the production of soya beans in the Community has grown at an exceptionally high rate in recent years; whereas more modest and regular growth in the production of the said beans seems desirable; whereas, to attain this objective, arrangements should be made that, where a certain maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded, the amount of the aid and the minimum price are to be reduced by an amount that takes account of the scale by which this quantity is exceeded; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 (4) should accordingly be amended,
The following Article is hereby added to Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85: 'Article 3a1. The Council, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, shall fix each year, and for the first time for the 1987/88 marketing year, a maximum guaranteed quantity for soya beans produced in the Community.2. The maximum guaranteed quantity for soya beans shall be determined taking account of production during a reference period and of the likely trend in demand.3. Where the production of soya beans, as estimated before the beginning of the marketing year, exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity for the beans concerned and for the marketing year in question, the amount of the aid shall be reduced by the incidence on the guide price of a coefficient that is related to the extent to which this quantity is exceeded. However, for the 1987/88 marketing year, this reduction in the amount of aid may not be greater than 10% of the guide price.Where the first subparagraph, when applied to actual production instead of estimated production at the beginning of the marketing year, would lead to a different reduction in the amount of the aid than that actually applied, the maximum guaranteed quantity for the following marketing year shall be adjusted to take account of that situation.4. Where paragraph 3 is applied, the minimum price shall be reduced by the same amount by which the amount of the aid was reduced.5. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt the rules for determining the coefficient referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3.6. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.'

(2) Following the authorisation given to the Commission on 20 December 2007, negotiations with the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein were concluded on 30 June 2009.
(3) According to Council Decision 2010/374/EC of 30 November 2009 (2), and pending its conclusion at a later date, the Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on supplementary rules in relation to the External Borders Fund for the period 2007 to 2013 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’) was signed on 19 March 2010 on behalf of the Union, and applied on a provisional basis.
(4) As a consequence of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, a Joint Declaration by the European Union and the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on supplementary rules in relation to the External Borders Fund for the period 2007 to 2013 has been agreed by all Parties at the time of the signature, and attached to the Agreement, stating that the European Union has replaced and suceeded the European Community.
(5) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it, or subject to its application.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 75 of the Financial Regulation and Article 90(1) of the Implementing Rules, the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. With a view to helping to eradicate avian influenza as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. Article 4(3) first and second indents of that Decision lays down rules on the percentage that must be applied to the costs incurred by the Member States.
(3) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2) sets rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.
(4) Commission Decision 2008/557/EC of 27 June 2008 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza in Poland in 2007 (3) granted a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza in Poland in 2007. An official request for reimbursement was submitted by Poland on 13 March 2008, as set out in Article 7(1) and 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(5) The payment of the financial contribution from the Union is to be subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines. Decision 2008/557/EC provided that a first tranche of EUR 845 000,00 be paid as part of the Union’s financial contribution. Commission Implementing Decision 2011/799/EU (4) provided that a second tranche of EUR 750 000,00 be paid as part of the Union’s financial contribution.
(6) Poland has in accordance with Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC without delay informed the Commission and the other Member States of the measures applied in accordance with Union legislation on notification and eradication and the results thereof. The request for reimbursement was, as required in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005, accompanied by a financial report, supporting documents, an epidemiological report on each holding where the animals have been slaughtered or destroyed and the results of respective audits.
(7) An audit according to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 was carried out by the Commission’s services. The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to Poland on 23 December 2011. Poland agreed by letter dated 3 April 2012.
(8) Consequently the total amount of the financial support from the Union to the eligible expenditure incurred in connection with the eradication of avian influenza in Poland in 2007 can now be fixed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The financial contribution from the Union towards the expenditure associated with eradicating avian influenza in Poland in 2007 is fixed at EUR 1 648 571,50.
The balance of the financial contribution is fixed at EUR 53 571,50.
This Decision constituting a financing decision in the meaning of Article 75 of the Financial Regulation is addressed to the Republic of Poland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 29 July 2003
on the extension of the European Union military operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 17(2),
Having regard to Joint Action 2003/92/CFSP of 27 January 2003 on the European Union military operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2003/202/CFSP of 18 March 2003 relating to the launch of the EU military operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(2) states that the anticipated duration of the EU operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Yugoslavia is six months from 31 March 2003.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 458/80 of 18 February 1980 on collective projects for the restructuring of vineyards
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the imbalances on the wine market can be progressively eliminated only by a set of coherent measures;
Whereas, in view of the structural situation of vineyards producing table wine and quality wine psr, the basic structures of these vineyards should be improved as part of the progressive establishment of balance on the wine market so as to rationalize work on wine-growing holdings and to increase agricultural incomes;
Whereas the measures to restructure vineyards producing table wine should be confined to wine-growing areas naturally suited to wine-growing which are not covered by certain measures of this kind provided for in Community legislation;
Whereas restructuring of vineyards cannot be effective unless the operations involved cover a fairly large area and are undertaken collectively;
Whereas restructuring operations may, depending on the case, involve not only the replacement of vines but also road improvement and irrigation works, or other technical operations necessary for the improvement of the basic structures of the vineyard in question;
Whereas in certain cases the restructuring of vineyards necessitates prior reparcelling operations the cost of which is often beyond the means of the growers ; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Member States to grant national aid for reparcelling operations with respect to either quality wines psr or to table wines;
Whereas, to be eligible for Community financing, projects must contribute in particular to a lasting improvement in working conditions on holdings, guarantee production of good quality wines and be economically justified;
Whereas, to ensure consistency of action by the Community and by the Member States, the projects to be financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, hereinafter referred to as "the Fund", should be approved and part-financed by the Member State concerned;
Whereas, to ensure that the recipients observe the conditions on which aid is granted from the Fund, an effective control system should be set up and provision made for suspension, reduction or termination of aid from the Fund;
Whereas administration of the abovementioned measure may be facilitated by granting a standard premium per restructured hectare;
Whereas such a measure serves the interest of the Community and is designed to fulfil the objectives laid down in Article 39 (1) (a) of the Treaty ; whereas it therefore constitutes a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 929/79 (5);
Whereas aid from the Fund in the form of reimbursement of 30 % of the standard premium (1)OJ No C 232, 30.9.1978, p. 7. (2)OJ No C 6, 8.1.1979, p. 66. (3)OJ No C 171, 9.7.1979, p. 16. (4)OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 13. (5)OJ No L 117, 12.5.1979, p. 4. granted by the Member States constitutes an appropriate contribution by the Community;
Whereas, for the purpose of approving projects, a procedure should be established which ensures close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure set up under Article 1 of the Council Decision of 4 December 1962 on the coordination of policies on the structure of agriculture (1) ; whereas provision should also be made for consultation of the Fund Committee referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70;
Whereas the aid that can be granted in respect of vineyards intended for the production of table wines should be specified;
Whereas Council Directive 78/627/EEC of 19 June 1978 on the programme to accelerate the restructuring and conversion of vineyards in certain Mediterranean regions in France (2) is already being applied in these regions which are in an unfavourable situation as regards agricultural incomes and employment ; whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of certain fundamental provisions concerning the various restructuring measures, it is essential to align certain provisions of the Directive with those of this Regulation ; whereas such alignment necessitates the entry into force of this Regulation in the regions concerned as from 1 March 1980,
1. A common measure within the meaning of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 shall be introduced with the aim of improving the basic structures of vineyards so as to rationalize work on wine-growing holdings and to create the conditions for improving the quality of wines.
2. The common measure shall be implemented in vineyards producing table wines and in those suitable for the production of quality wines psr, with the exception of: - areas classified in category 3 as defined in Articles 29 and 29a of Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 454/80 (4),
- vineyards in the Languedoc-Roussillon region and in the departments of Ardèche, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse for the duration of the action provided for in Council Directive 78/627/EEC of 19 June 1978 on the programme to accelerate the restructuring and conversion of vineyards in certain Mediterranean regions in France (5),
- vineyards in the Charentes region intended for the production of wine suitable for the production of certain spirits with registered designations of origin.
3. The Commission may, in accordance with Titles II and III, grant aid for the common measure, in the form of a refund by the Guidance Section of the Fund of expenditure incurred by the Member States in connection with collective restructuring projects.
TITLE I Collective restructuring projects
1. For the purposes of this Regulation, "a collective project for the restructuring of vineyards" means any replanting of vineyards undertaken by growers under a binding agreement concluded between them.
However, the project may also include new planting if it is technically essential for improving the effectiveness of the restructuring measures and if it conforms with Articles 30, 30b, 30c and 30e of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.
This new planting may not exceed: - 10 % of the area restructured intended for the production of quality wines psr,
- 10 % of the area restructured intended for the production of table wines.
2. The agreements between growers referred to in paragraph 1 shall lay down the conditions governing (1)OJ No 136, 17.12.1962, p. 2892/62. (2)OJ No L 206, 29.7.1978, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 54, 5.3.1979, p. 1. (4)See page 7 of this Official Journal. (5)OJ No L 206, 29.7.1979, p. 1. the planting of vines and associated operations, providing in particular for rationalization of work and of the use of machinery.
3. A collective restructuring project must cover: (a) in the case of quality wines psr, a minimum restructured area under vines guaranteeing that the objectives of Article 3 are fulfilled;
(b) in the case of table wines, a total restructured area of not less than 100 hectares under vines, made up of unbroken wine-growing areas which are in principle not less than two hectares each.
However, where natural growing conditions relevant to the project make it impossible to have unbroken areas of the minimum size of two hectares, that part of the area under vines which does not comply with the criteria laid down in the first subparagraph must not exceed 10 % of the area under vines covered by the project.
4. For the purposes of this Regulation, "new planting or replanting" means any planting of vines undertaken in accordance with the corresponding definition given in Annex IV a to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.
5. The provisions of this Article concerning the planting of vines also apply to restructuring operations carried out within the context of Directive 78/627/EEC.
Collective restructuring projects must: (a) contribute to a lasting improvement in working conditions on the holdings concerned, thereby improving labour income;
(b) guarantee an improvement in the quality of the wines produced;
(c) offer an adequate guarantee as to their economic effectiveness.
Collective restructuring projects must comprise inter alia: (a) the restructuring measures envisaged;
(b) the estimated cost of the restructuring operations;
(c) the amount of the restructuring aid provided for;
(d) the compulsory provisions relating to the alignment and spacing of planting and the method of training the vines, without prejudice to Regulation (EEC) No 338/79;
(e) details of the vine varieties to be used.

2. The Member State concerned shall fix the amount of the premium at between 2 418 and 3 022 ECU per restructured hectare on the basis of the present structural situation and the cost of the work involved in restructuring the vineyard.
However, to take account of special situations, Member States may exceed the upper limit referred to in the first subparagraph.
In the case of new planting, the eligible amount may not exceed 2 418 ECU per hectare of vineyard restructured.
TITLE II Procedure for the scrutiny of projects
