32002R2163 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2163/2002 of 5 December 2002 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2163/2002
of 5 December 2002
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 738/2010
of 16 August 2010
laying down detailed rules on payments to German producer organisations in the hops sector
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 102a(3), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 102a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2009 (2) provides for an annual payment to recognised German producer organisations in the hops sector. The amounts received by producer organisations should be used to finance measures adopted in order to achieve the aims referred to in Article 122(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(2) So as to ensure the orderly management of the payments, Germany should adopt rules on the submission of applications by producer organisations, including deadlines, and ensure that all applications contain the information that is needed in order to allow the German competent authority to verify whether producer organisations are entitled to payments.
(3) In order to ensure that payments are made in a fair manner, the amounts to be paid to producer organisations should be calculated on a pro rata basis, linked to the eligible hops areas of their members.
(4) In order to ensure the efficient use of financial resources, payments made by the competent German payment agency should be committed within a reasonable period of time.
(5) In order to protect the financial interests of the European Union, no payments should be made before checks in respect of the eligibility criteria have been made. These control measures should involve administrative checking supplemented by on-the-spot controls. Amounts unduly paid should be recovered and sanctions should be determined in order to deter applicants from fraudulent behaviour and serious negligence.
(6) Article 63(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (3) which has established common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy as well as certain support schemes for farmers has integrated the partially coupled payments in the hops sector into the single payments scheme from 1 January 2010. In order to ensure the continuity of payments, the first payment of the Union aid pursuant to Article 102a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and this Regulation should be made by 30 April 2011 at the latest.
(7) In order to facilitate the execution of the first payment, it is appropriate to allow the German competent authority to proceed, in the year preceding that payment, with the identification of the potential beneficiaries and the potentially eligible hop areas.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Scope and use of terms
1. This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the implementation of Article 102a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the payment to producer organisations in the hops sector in Germany referred to in that Article.
2. Terms used in this Regulation shall have the same meaning as when used in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, unless this Regulation provides otherwise.
Applications for aid
1. The producer organisation seeking to benefit from the payment referred to in Article 102a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall submit an application to the German competent authority each year, by a date to be fixed by Germany and which shall not be later than 30 September.
2. When fixing the date referred to in paragraph 1, Germany shall take into account the period of time that is required to ensure the proper administrative and financial management of the payment, including the requirement to carry out effective checks.
3. Applications shall be accompanied by supporting documents showing:
(a) the identity and proof of recognition of the producer organisation;
(b) the total of the eligible areas referred to in Article 3;
(c) the details permitting identification of the members of the producer organisation and the eligible areas they cultivate;
(d) the measures implemented, completed or ongoing and the corresponding expenditure incurred or committed during the calendar year of the aid application with a view to achieving the aims referred to in Article 122(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
Aid entitlement
1. The amounts paid to the producer organisations in the hops sector shall be committed in order to finance measures to achieve the aims referred to in Article 122 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
2. The amount to be paid to each producer organisation shall be calculated pro rata based on the eligible hop areas of its members as specified in paragraphs 3 to 6.
3. Eligible hop areas are hop areas in Germany which are entirely planted and which have already undergone normal tending operations in accordance with local standards, at the moment of submission of the application referred to in Article 2.
4. The areas referred to in paragraph 2 shall be planted at a uniform density of at least 1 500 plants per hectare in the case of double stringing/wiring, or at least 2 000 plants per hectare in the case of single stringing/wiring.
5. The areas referred to in paragraph 2 shall only include areas bounded by a line joining the outer stays of the poles. Where there are hop plants on that line, an additional strip of a width corresponding to the average width of an alleyway within that parcel may be added to each side of that area. The additional strip shall not form part of a public right of way. The two headlands at the ends of the hop rows that are needed for manoeuvring agricultural machinery may be included in the area, provided that the length of neither headland exceeds eight metres and they are counted only once, and they do not form part of a public right of way.
6. The areas referred to in paragraph 2 shall not include areas planted with young hop plants grown chiefly as nursery products.
Payment of the aid
1. Germany shall pay the aid to the beneficiaries between 16 October of the year in which the application was made and 31 January of the following year at the latest for each application that was submitted in accordance with this Regulation and German legislation, but only after all compulsory checks referred to in Article 5 have been carried out.
2. Any amount paid by the German competent authority which has not been committed by a producer organisation within a period of three years from the date of payment shall be paid back to the paying agency and deducted from the expenditure financed under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund.
Checks and sanctions
1. Prior to granting the payment, the competent national authority shall carry out administrative checks on all aid applications as well as on-the-spot checks on a significant sample of applications.
2. Administrative checks on aid applications shall be exhaustive and shall include:
(a) cross-checks of the eligible areas claimed with, inter alia, data from the integrated administration and control system provided for in Chapter 4 of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009;
(b) a verification of the contribution of the measures implemented to the aims referred to in Article 122(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
3. On-the-spot checks shall be conducted at each producer organisation and cover at least 5 % of the aid to be distributed. Such checks shall verify in particular:
(a) the producer organisations’ compliance with the recognition criteria;
(b) the eligibility of the hop areas claimed;
(c) a representative sample of the measures implemented, completed or ongoing and the corresponding expenditure incurred or committed during the calendar year of the aid application with a view to achieving the aims referred to in Article 122(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
4. Provided that the purpose of the on-the-spot check is not jeopardised, advance notice, strictly limited to the minimum time period necessary, may be given.
5. In all appropriate cases, Germany shall make use of the integrated administration and control system.
6. In the event of undue payment, Article 80 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
7. Where an undue payment has been made as a result of a false declaration, false documents or serious negligence, the applicant shall, in addition to the recovery of unduly paid amounts, repay an amount equal to the difference between the amount initially paid and the amount to which the applicant was actually entitled. These amounts shall be payable to the EU budget.
8. The competent control authority shall draw up a control report on each on-the-spot check. The report shall describe precisely the different items and aspects controlled, and provide sufficient detail to allow review of the control work performed and results achieved.
9. The German competent authority executing the payments shall send an annual report to the Commission on the producer organisations’ use of the amounts received, including a description of the measures that have been financed by means of the payments. The report shall include details of the number of the on-the-spot checks carried out and the related findings, and shall be sent at the latest by 30 June of each year.
Transitional provisions
1. Applications for the first payment referred to in Article 102a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be made by a deadline to be determined by Germany but not later than 15 January 2011. The corresponding payments shall be executed by 30 April 2011. Applications for the second payment referred to in Article 102a of that Regulation shall be made by a deadline to be determined by Germany but not later than 30 September 2011. The corresponding payments shall be executed by 31 January 2012 at the latest.
2. Before the first payment referred to in paragraph 1, the competent national authority shall identify the eligible producer organisations referred to in Article 2(1), provisionally verify the fulfilment of the conditions referred to in Article 3(1) and provisionally establish the amounts and the eligible areas referred to in Article 3(2) of this Regulation during the calendar year preceding that payment.

(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 723/97(3) provides for the Community to contribute towards costs incurred by Member States in implementing new action programmes, arising out of new Community obligations, approved by the Commission and aimed at improving the structures or effectiveness of EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure controls. Article 4 of the said Regulation provides that the Community financial contribution is to be granted per calendar year for a period of five consecutive years starting from 1997, within the limit of the annual appropriations authorised by the budget authority in the light of the financial perspective.
(2) The Commission has transmitted to the Council a report on the results of the application of Regulation (EC) No 723/97 during the period 1997 to 2000. Given the assessment reports prepared by the Member States and the effectiveness of the programmes implemented, the Commission considers that Member States should continue to receive financial assistance for the implementation of the programmes provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 723/97.
(3) In particular, since new expensive techniques have been introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1593/2000 of 17 July 2000 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes(4), in the area of the improvement of the agricultural parcel identification system having recourse to the technique of geographical information system and of digital orthophotography, a Community contribution is justified to cover part of the expenditure incurred by Member States in the framework of new action programmes covering this domain. In this context, it is appropriate, for reasons of legal clarity, to delete the last indent of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 723/97.
(4) The period during which Community financial contribution may be paid should therefore be extended by two years.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 723/97 should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 723/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2(1) the second subparagraph shall be replaced by the following: "However, for programmes relating to the year 2002, the time limit for submission of action programmes to the Commission shall be 31 January 2002."
2. In the first sentence of Article 4(1), the term "five consecutive years" shall be replaced by "seven consecutive years".
3. In Article 5 the last indent shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(notified under document number C(2005) 3161)

(2005/624/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/60/EC of 27 June 2002 laying down specific provisions for the control of African swine fever and amending Directive 92/119/EEC as regards Teschen disease and African swine fever (1), and in particular Article 11(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/363/EC of 2 May 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (2) was adopted in response to the presence of African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy.
(2) Outbreaks of African swine fever still occur in Sardinia and Italy takes measures to combat African swine fever in Sardinia within the framework of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(3) Directive 2002/60/EC provides that the competent authority establishes, immediately after the diagnosis of African swine fever in pigs on a holding has been officially confirmed, a protection zone with a radius of at least three kilometres around the outbreak site, which shall itself be included in a surveillance zone of a radius of at least ten kilometres.
(4) Directive 2002/60/EC also provides that pigs may not be removed from the holding in which they are kept (holding of origin) in a protection and surveillance zone during a period of respectively 40 and 30 days after the completion of the preliminary cleansing, disinfection and, if necessary, disinsectisation of the infected holdings. After these periods, the competent authorities may authorise the removal of pigs from the holding of origin to a slaughterhouse if specific conditions are met. In particular, fresh meat from these pigs is either to be processed or marked with a special mark and processed at later stage.
(5) Directive 2002/60/EC allows for a derogation from the said conditions to be granted to Member States at their request and if appropriate justification is submitted.
(6) An outbreak of African swine fever was confirmed in the municipality of Anela in Sardinia on 25 May 2005. The competent authority established immediately a protection zone with a radius of three kilometres around the outbreak site, which is included in a surveillance zone of a radius of ten kilometres around this site. Another outbreak was confirmed in the established protection zone on 10 June 2005 in the municipality of Bultei.
(7) The Italian authorities have asked the Commission for derogation from the fresh meat to be marked with the foreseen special mark and the condition that fresh meat originating from holdings situated within the established surveillance zone has to be processed. The request was justified by demonstrating the serious difficulties to find a market for processed meat, the consequences for the welfare of the pigs in some holdings if they are not slaughtered in due time and the negligible additional animal health risk related to such derogation if also specific disease control measures are adopted. It is therefore appropriate to provide that, under certain conditions, pigmeat from holdings situated in the established surveillance zone does not have to be processed and marked with the foreseen special mark and processed at later stage. In order to guarantee the absence of African swine fever and any risk for spread of the disease, additional measures as regards the holding of origin and the movement of these pigs have to be laid down.
(8) The checking and sampling procedures as regards the removal of pigs from a holding in an established surveillance zone to a slaughterhouse in accordance with the diagnostic manual (3) have to be fully applied. In case the derogation provided for in Article 11(4) of Directive 2002/60/EC is used paragraph 6 of Chapter IV of the Annex of the diagnostic manual applies.
(9) It is also appropriate to provide that pigmeat, pigmeat products and any other products containing pigmeat of pigs originating from holdings for which such a derogation is granted, is marked with the special mark foreseen by Decision 2005/363/EC in order to ensure that such pigmeat, pigmeat products and other products containing pigmeat are not dispatched from Sardinia and to ensure the traceability of such pigmeat and products.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Subject matter and scope
This Decision lays down a derogation from the condition relating to processing of fresh meat originating from pigs from holdings situated in the surveillance zone which has been established around the holdings in which the diagnosis of African swine fever has been officially confirmed in Sardinia, Italy in the municipalities of Anela on 25 May 2005 and Bultei on 10 June 2005.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Decision, the definitions laid down in Article 2 of Directive 2002/60/EC and of Article 2 of Decision 2005/363/EC shall apply.
Derogation on Article 10(3)(f), fourth indent, of Directive 2002/60/EC
The competent authority may authorise that fresh meat from pigs which have been directly transported to a slaughterhouse in accordance with Article 11(1)(f) of Directive 2002/60/EC is not processed, as foreseen in Article 10(3)(f), fourth indent, if the following conditions are met:
(a) the holding of origin fulfils the requirements of Article 4;
(b) the movement of the pigs fulfils all the relevant requirements laid down in Directive 2002/60/EC and in particular in Articles 11(1)(f) and (4) thereof as regards the period of respectively 30 or 21 days after the completion of the preliminary cleansing, disinfection and, if necessary, disinsectisation of the infected holdings, during which the pigs may not be removed from the holding of origin;
(c) the meat, pigmeat products and any other products containing pigmeat originating from these pigs are marked with a special health or identification mark provided for in Article 4 of Decision 2005/363/EC.
Requirements as regards the holding of origin
The holding of origin referred to in Article 3 shall fulfil the following requirements:
(a) the holding of origin may not be located in a protection zone established following an outbreak of African swine fever;
(b) the appropriate bio-security measures to prevent the introduction of African swine fever as well as a self-control programme to detect African swine fever, both referred to in the eradication programme approved by Commission Decision 2005/362/EC (4), have been put in place in the holding of origin and have been approved by the competent authority before the establishment of the surveillance zone around an outbreak of African swine fever in which the holding is located;
(c) African swine fever may not have been diagnosed in the holding of origin for at least two years before the dispatch of the pigs from this holding.
Communication to the Commission and the other Member States

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards Ethyl lauroyl arginate as a preservative in certain heat-treated meat products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3), Article 14 and Article 30(5) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (3) lays down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
(3) The Union list and the specifications may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(4) On 5 May 2006, an application was submitted for authorisation of the use of Ethyl lauroyl arginate as a preservative in several food categories. The application was made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008.
(5) Subsequently, in April of 2007 the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) evaluated the safety of the use of Ethyl lauroyl arginate as a food preservative and allocated an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0,5 mg/kg body weight (4). Conservative estimates of exposure to the substance, both in adults and in children, suggested that it was likely that the ADI would be exceeded at the maximum proposed use levels for several food categories.
(6) Following these conclusions, the applicant revised its uses and use levels and requested an authorisation of the use in heat-treated meat products. In July 2013 the Authority published a statement on a refined exposure assessment of Ethyl lauroyl arginate based on its revised proposed uses as a food additive (5), and concluded that the exposure for all population groups is below the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0,5 mg/kg bw/day.
(7) There is a technological need to use Ethyl lauroyl arginate as a preservative in heat-treated meat products in order to improve the microbiological quality of those food products, including inhibiting the growth of harmful micro-organisms such as Listeria monocytogenes. As the use of Ethyl lauroyl arginate in heat treated meat products will help maintaining their quality and safety, it is appropriate to authorise its use in heat-treated meat products and to assign number E 243 to that food additive.
(8) The specifications for Ethyl lauroyl arginate (E 243) should be included in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 when it is included in the Union list of food additives laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for the first time.
(9) Regulations (EC) No 1333/2008 and (EU) No 231/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 is amended in accordance with Annex II 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.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the procedure provided for in the second paragraph of Article 19 of Directive 2000/13/EC, the Italian authorities notified the Commission on 25 August 2009 of the draft Decree setting out standards governing the labelling of shelf-stable milk, UHT milk, micro-filtered pasteurised milk and high-temperature pasteurised milk, as well as milk products.
(2) According to Article 1 of the notified Decree, this applies to shelf-stable milk, UHT milk, micro-filtered pasteurised milk and high-temperature pasteurised milk as well as milk products.
(3) Article 2 of the notified Decree requires that the labels of sterilised shelf-stable milk, UHT milk, micro-filtered pasteurised milk and high-temperature pasteurised milk must indicate the place of origin of the milk which has undergone the treatments in question.
(4) Article 3(1) of the notified Decree provides that the labels of milk products must indicate the place of origin of the milk used in the preparation of such products.
(5) Article 3(3) of the notified Decree provides that the labels of cheeses, including cottage cheeses, containing substances obtained from processing milk or milk products must include those substances in the list of ingredients with a reference to the place of origin of the milk used for processing those substances.
(6) Article 4 of the notified Decree provides that the labels of cheeses obtained from curd must indicate the place of origin of the milk used in the curd.
(7) Directive 2000/13/EC harmonises the rules governing the labelling of foodstuffs by making provision for, on the one hand, harmonisation of certain national provisions and, secondly, arrangements for non-harmonised national provisions. The scope of harmonisation is defined in Article 3(1) of that Directive, which lists all the particulars that are compulsory on the labelling of foodstuffs in accordance with Articles 4 to 17 and subject to the exceptions contained therein.
(8) In particular, in accordance with Article 3(1)(8) of Directive 2000/13/EC the indication of the place of origin or provenance is mandatory where failure to give such a particular might mislead the consumer to a material degree as to the true origin or provenance of the foodstuff. This provision puts in place an appropriate mechanism to counter the risk of consumers being misled in cases where some elements could imply that a given food comes from an origin or provenance different from the true one.
(9) Furthermore, Article 4(2) of Directive 2000/13/EC provides that other particulars in addition to those listed in Article 3(1) of that Directive may be required, in the case of specified foodstuffs, by Union provisions or, in their absence, by national provisions.
(10) Article 18(2) of Directive 2000/13/EC allows the adoption of non-harmonised national provisions if they are justified on one of the grounds listed therein, including, inter alia, the prevention of fraud and the protection of public health, and provided they are not of such a nature as to impede application of the definitions and rules laid down by Directive 2000/13/EC. Therefore, where draft national labelling provisions have been proposed in a Member State, it is necessary to examine their compatibility with the above-mentioned requirements and the provisions of the Treaty.
(11) The Italian authorities maintain that the notified Decree is necessary to define and regulate the traceability system for sterilised shelf-stable milk, UHT milk, micro-filtered pasteurised milk and high-temperature pasteurised milk and milk products. They also state that the notified Decree is necessary to regulate the labelling of the foods listed in Article 1 thereof in order to ensure that the interests of the consumer are protected to the greatest extent.
(12) With regard to the traceability of the products listed in Article 1 of the notified Decree, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (2) requests that, at all stages of production, processing and distribution, a comprehensive system of traceability should be established by food businesses so that targeted and accurate withdrawals can be undertaken or information given to consumers or control officials. In particular, pursuant to Article 18 thereof, food business operators shall be able to identify any person from whom they have been supplied with a food, and the other businesses to which their products have been supplied. Moreover, Article 19 of that Regulation foresees specific obligations for food business operators. The mandatory indication of origin on the label of the finished products in question is not necessary information for the purpose of meeting those traceability requirements.
(13) In addition, apart from a generic reference to the need of protecting the interests of the consumer, the Italian authorities did not provide any justification allowing to conclude that, as regards the products listed in Article 1 of the notified Decree, the mandatory indication of the origin, beyond the obligation laid down in Article 3(1)(8) of Directive 2000/13/EC, is necessary.
(14) Therefore, the Italian authorities failed to demonstrate that the indication of origin as provided by the notified Decree is necessary to attain one of the objectives listed in Article 18(2) of Directive 2000/13/EC.
(15) In light of these observations, the Commission has delivered a negative opinion on the above-mentioned provisions of the notified Decree, pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 19 of Directive 2000/13/EC.
(16) The Italian authorities should accordingly be requested not to adopt the provisions of notified Decree in question.
(17) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Italy shall not adopt Article 2, 3(1) and (3) and Article 4 (as far as the obligation to indicate the place of origin of the milk used in the curd is concerned) of the notified Decree setting out standards governing the labelling of shelf-stable milk, UHT milk, micro-filtered pasteurised milk and high-temperature pasteurised milk, as well as milk products.

Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 10 July 2007
approving the accession of the European Atomic Energy Community to the amended Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities
(2007/513/Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 101 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(e) of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom Treaty) states that the European Atomic Energy Community (the Community) shall make certain, by appropriate supervision, that nuclear materials are not diverted to purposes other than those for which they are intended.
(2) The Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) was adopted in 1979 and entered into force in 1987. As of 27 June 2006, 118 States and the Community were parties to the CPPNM. All the Member States are Parties to the CPPNM.
(3) An Amendment Conference in accordance with Article 20 of the CPPNM was convened on 4 July 2005 under the auspices of the IAEA. The final act regarding the amendments to the CPPNM was signed by the Commission on behalf of the Community on 8 July 2005.
(4) The Court of Justice of the European Communities (Court of Justice) (1) decided that the participation of the Member States in the CPPNM is compatible with the provisions of the Euratom Treaty only subject to the conditions that, in so far as its own powers and jurisdiction are concerned, the Community as such is a party to the CPPNM on the same lines as the Member States and that certain commitments of the CPPNM can only be implemented, where the Community is concerned, by means of close association between the Community and the Member States, both in the negotiation and conclusion process and in fulfilment of the commitments assumed.
(5) The Court of Justice confirmed further that Article 2(e) of the Euratom Treaty gives the Community the task of making certain, by appropriate supervision, that nuclear materials are not diverted to purposes other than those for which they are intended, without making any distinction with regard to the nature of such diversions and the circumstances in which they might take place and finally that the very expression ‘safeguards’ which the Treaty uses to characterize the provisions of chapter VII has a wider scope than the mere substitution of a different destination for the one declared by a user of nuclear materials. Consequently, according to the Court of Justice, it includes also measures of physical protection (2). The Court of Justice also stated in its Ruling 1/78 that provisions related to criminal prosecution and extradition relate to matters falling within the jurisdiction of the Member States (3).
(6) According to Article 18(4) of the CPPNM, when becoming party to the Convention the Community must communicate to the depositary a declaration indicating which articles of the CPPNM do not apply to it. That declaration is attached to this Decision.
(7) Article 7 of the CPPNM requires each party to make certain offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account their grave nature. It is understood that this provision leaves to the parties the choice of the nature, type and level of the penalties to be adopted. In particular, it does not require that the parties make the conducts described therein punishable by criminal penalties. Consequently, Article 7 applies to the Community, at least to some extent.
(8) Therefore the accession of the Community to the amended CPPNM should be approved,
The accession of the European Atomic Energy Community to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities, as amended by the Final Act signed on 8 July 2005, is hereby approved.
The texts of the amended Convention and of the declaration by the Community according to Articles 18(4) and 17(3) of the Convention are attached to this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas, in the case of Netherlands, the Commission, on the basis of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, adopted Decision 90/180/Euratom, EEC (4) authorizing the Netherlands, with effect from 1989, not to take into account certain categories of transactions and to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base;
Whereas, since 1 January 1992, the Netherlands has taxed the transactions referred to in point 9 of Annex F to the Sixth VAT Directive; whereas the authorization granted in this connection should be discontinued with effect from that date;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
Article 2 (3) of Decision 90/180/Euratom, EEC is hereby repealed in respect of transactions conducted with effect from 1 January 1992.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas Decision 80/47/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (2), by Regulation (EEC) No 3638/83 (3), the Commission has made imports into France, Italy and the United Kingdom of certain textile products of category 3, originating in Indonesia, subject to quantitative limits for the period 1984 to 1986; whereas imports of those products remain liberalized in the other Member States;
Whereas, by virtue of the trade measures thus introduced, there are disparities between the various Member States in the conditions for importing the products in question; whereas these disparities are likely to lead to deflection of trade;
Whereas, with a view to the rapid detection of deflection of trade likely to lead to, or aggravate, any economic difficulties in the sector concerned, the French Government asked the Commission, under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, for authorization to apply prior intra-Community surveillance to imports of woven fabrics of synthetic textile fibres originating in Indonesia and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas the Commission examined, in particular, whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance measures under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC and whether information was given as regards the economic difficulties alleged;
Whereas surveillance measures may be authorized to textile products of group 1, as defined by Regulations (EEC) No 3589/82 and (EEC) No 3762/83 (4), even in the absence of deflection of trade, or requests for intra-Community licence, in view of the inherent risk of economic difficulties in trade in these products on the grounds of their extreme sensitivity to imports;
Whereas France should therefore be authorized to make imports of the woven fabrics of synthetic textile fibres in question of category 3, originating in Indonesia, subject to intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1985,
The French Republic is authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance to the products set out in the Annex hereto, in accordance with Decision 80/47/EEC, until 30 June 1985.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the organisation and use of airspace in the single European sky (the airspace Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (2), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Chapter 2, paragraph 6 of Annex 11 (3) to the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation requires the classification of airspace into air traffic services airspaces of defined dimensions, alphabetically designated from Class A to Class G, within which specific types of flights may operate and for which air traffic services and rules of operation are specified.
(2) The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) has been mandated, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, to examine a harmonised airspace classification scheme for the Single European Sky. The resulting mandate reports of 30 December 2004 and 30 April 2005 proposed the introduction of Class C Airspace as the appropriate classification for airspace above flight level 195. This Regulation takes full account of those reports. With a view to being consistent in the application by the Member States of such a classification, it is necessary to establish a harmonised airspace classification and provide for the access of flights operated under visual flight rules to it.
(3) Whilst no upper limit of the airspace is specified in this Regulation, airspace classification above flight level 195 should be consistent for all flights carried out in such airspace.
(4) Chapter 4, paragraph 5 of Annex 2 (4) to the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation introduces restrictions related to Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum Areas for flights operated under visual flight rules (VFR flights) above flight level 290, while paragraph 4 of that Chapter provides that VFR flights above flight level 200 require authorisation.
(5) The procedures for authorising access of VFR flights to airspace above flight level 195, up to and including flight level 285, need to be open and transparent across all Member States without restricting legitimate access of VFR flights or the flexibility of air traffic services.
(6) Member States should ensure a safe transition towards the classification of airspace above flight level 195 as Class C Airspace. As Member States require time to change their airspace classification, the application of this Regulation should be deferred until 1 July 2007.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation establishes a harmonised airspace classification to be applied above flight level 195 and lays down harmonised requirements for access of flights operated under visual flight rules to this airspace.
2. In accordance with Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004, this Regulation shall apply in the airspace within the International Civil Aviation Organisation European (ICAO EUR) and African (ICAO AFI) regions where Member States are responsible for the provision of air traffic services.
Definitions
In addition to the relevant definitions set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘airspace reservation’ means a defined volume of airspace temporarily reserved for exclusive or specific use by categories of users;
2. ‘air traffic services unit’ means a unit, civil or military, responsible for providing air traffic services;
3. ‘instrument flight rules flights’ (IFR flights) means any flights operated under instrument flight rules as defined in Annex 2 (5) to the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation;
4. ‘flights operated under visual flight rules’ (VFR flights) means any flights operated under visual flight rules as defined in Annex 2 (6) to the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation;
5. ‘airspace classification’ means the classification of airspace into air traffic services airspaces of defined dimensions, alphabetically designated, and within which specific types of flights may operate and for which air traffic services and rules of operation are specified; air traffic services airspaces are classified as Class A to G as defined by Chapter 2, paragraph 6.1. of Annex 11 (7) to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Airspace classification above flight level 195
1. Member States shall classify all airspace above flight level 195 as Class C Airspace.
2. Subject to Article 4, Member States shall ensure that in Class C Airspace IFR and VFR flights are permitted, all of these flights are provided with an air traffic control service and that IFR flights are separated from other IFR flights and from VFR flights.
VFR flights shall be separated from IFR flights and shall receive traffic information in respect of other VFR flights.
Access of VFR flights above flight level 195
In airspace above flight level 195 Member States may establish an airspace reservation, where practical, in which VFR flights may be allowed.
In airspace above flight level 195, up to and including flight level 285, VFR flights may also be authorised by the responsible air traffic services unit in accordance with the authorisation procedures established and published by Member States in the relevant aeronautical information publication.
Entry into force and application

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the internal market makes it desirable to remove all barriers to trade, not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also, as far as possible, between those Member States and the new Member States;
Whereas the compensation mechanisms for fruit and vegetables instituted by Article 318 (1) of the Act of Accession, application and monitoring of which would, moreover, be very difficult once the Community no longer has internal frontiers, should therefore be discontinued;
Whereas experience shows that no effective use has been made of the measures to protect the Portuguese market provided for by Article 318 (2) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas the applicability of the above measures should therefore be terminated and, for reasons of clarity, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3648/90 of 11 December 1990 laying down general rules for implementing the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the compensation mechanism on imports of fruit and vegetables originating in Portugal (2) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3649/90 of 11 December 1990 laying down general rules for the mechanism for the protection of the Portuguese market in fruit and vegetables provided for in Article 318 (2) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (3) should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the full integration of the Portuguese market into the Community market which will thus be brought about makes it appropriate to apply to Portugal the common level of institutional prices,
The mechanism instituted by Article 318 (1) of the Act of Accession and the provisions of Article 318 (2) shall no longer be applicable.
Regulations (EEC) No 3648/90 and (EEC) No 3649/90 are hereby repealed.
The common basic and buying-in prices shall be applicable in Portugal in the fruit and vegetables sector.

Whereas the International Commission has drawn up limit values for mercury in the form of a recommendation intended to supplement Annex IV to the Chemical Convention;
Whereas it is desirable that the Community, as a Contracting Party to the Chemical Convention, adopt the abovementioned recommendation,

Whereas, as part of the Europe Agreement concluded between the Community and its Member States on the one hand and Hungary on the other, concessions have been granted to the latter concerning certain agricultural products;
Whereas, following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, these concessions have been adjusted to take into account, in particular, the arrangements for trade in the agricultural sector that existed between Austria and Hungary; whereas, to this end, the abovementioned Regulation provides for the opening of an autonomous tariff quota for 1997 of dog and cat food packed for retail sale falling within CN code ex 2309 10 and originating in Hungary; whereas imports under this quota will benefit from an 80 % reduction in the applicable rates of MFN duty; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply the measures provided for in Article 2 of the said Regulation with effect from 1 January 1997;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down detailed rules for managing the quota; whereas this form of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must be in a position to monitor how much of the quota has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas it should be laid down that import licences for the products in question under the abovementioned quota should be issued after a period for consideration and where necessary by applying a single percentage reduction to the quantities applied for;

To be eligible, the import licence application must be accompanied by the original attestation of origin in the form of an EUR 1 certificate issued or drawn up in Hungary.
1. Applications for import licences shall be submitted to the competent authority in any Member State on the first working day of the week up to 1 p.m., Brussels time. The licence applications shall relate to a quantity of not less than five tonnes in product weight and not exceeding 1 000 tonnes.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 375/2004(3).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 375/2004,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 375/2004 are hereby replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 March 2004.

of 8 July 1987
fixing the accession compensatory amounts applicable to cereals for the 1987/88 marketing year and the coefficients to be used for calculating the amounts applicable to certain processed products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 467/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for cereals on account of the accession of Spain (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 72 (1) of the Act of Accession, accession compensatory amounts are to be equal to the difference between the prices fixed for Spain and the intervention prices applicable for the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, which prices represent the guarantee given to producers; whereas, however, following the latest change in the intervention arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1900/87 (3), buying in is carried out at a level below the intervention price; whereas this level, which now represents the actual guarantee given to producers must, therefore, serve as a basis for calculating the accession compensatory amounts;
Whereas in accordance with Article 111 (3) of the Act of Accession, accession compensatory amounts applicable to processed products are to be derived from those applicable to the products to which they are related, using coefficients to be determined; whereas those coefficients must be fixed taking account, on the one hand, of the technical factors relating to processing and, on the other hand, of the fact that those compensatory amounts apply to imports, to exports and in trade between the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and Spain;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The accession compensatory amounts applicable to the products listed in Article 1 (a) and (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 for the 1987/88 marketing year shall be set out in Annex A to this Regulation.
2. The following shall be as set out in Annex B:
- the accession compensatory amounts applicable to the products listed in Article 1 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 for the 1987/88 marketing year,
- the coefficients referred to in Article 111 (3) of the Act of Accession.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1987.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (2) provides a possibility for means of transport to be temporarily imported into the customs territory of the Union and used by natural persons in that territory under certain conditions.
(2) Recent incidents have indicated misuse of the temporary importation of means of transport.
(3) An amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is necessary in order to exclude the possibility of such misuse.
(4) In order to avoid customs debts being incurred because of lack of information on the new provisions, a period of time should be allowed for Member States and the Commission to inform the public about the new legal situation.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Article 561 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. Total relief from import duties shall be granted where means of transport are used commercially or privately by a natural person resident in the customs territory of the Union and employed by the owner, hirer or lessee of the means of transport established outside that territory.
Private use of the means of transport is allowed for journeys between the place of work and the place of residence of the employee or with the purpose of performing a professional task of the employee as stipulated in the contract of employment.
At the request of the customs authorities, the person using the means of transport shall present a copy of the contract of employment.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2015.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 of 22 December 1986 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1930/90 (2), and in particular Article 6 (1) (c) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1420/87 of 21 May 1987 laying down implementing rules for Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (3) lays down the list of countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations and specifies the general criteria on the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage;
Whereas, following the taking of a number of decisions on the allocation of food aid, the Commission has allocated to certain countries and beneficiary organizations 1 689 tonnes of refined sunflower oil;
Whereas it is necessary to make these supplies in accordance with the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 of 8 July 1987 laying down general rules for the mobilization in the Community of products to be supplied as Community food aid (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 790/91 (5); whereas it is necessary to specify the time limits and conditions of supply and the procedure to be followed to determine the resultant costs;
Whereas, notably for logistical reasons, certain supplies are not awarded within the first and second deadlines for submission of tenders; whereas, in order to avoid republication of the notice of invitation to tender, a third deadline for submission of tenders should be opened,
Refined sunflower oil shall be mobilized in the Community as Community food aid for supply to the recipients listed in the Annex, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 and under the conditions set out in the Annex. Supplies shall be awarded by the tendering procedure.

DIRECTIVE 2009/109/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 16 September 2009
amending Council Directives 77/91/EEC, 78/855/EEC and 82/891/EEC, and Directive 2005/56/EC as regards reporting and documentation requirements in the case of mergers and divisions
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 44(2)(g) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) The European Council agreed, at its meeting on 8 and 9 March 2007, that administrative burdens on companies should be reduced by 25 % by the year 2012 in order to enhance the competitiveness of companies in the Community.
(2) Company law has been identified as one area imposing on companies numerous information obligations, some of which seem outdated or excessive. It is therefore appropriate to review those obligations and, where appropriate, to reduce the administrative burdens weighing on companies within the Community to the minimum needed in order to protect the interests of other stakeholders.
(3) The scope of Second Council Directive 77/91/EEC of 13 December 1976 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent (3), and of Third Council Directive 78/855/EEC of 9 October 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty concerning mergers of public limited liability companies (4), should be adapted in order to reflect changes in Finnish company law.
(4) Company websites or other websites offer, in certain cases, an alternative to publication via the companies registers. Member States should be able to designate those other websites which companies may use free of charge for such publication, such as websites of business associations or chambers of commerce or the central electronic platform referred to in First Council Directive 68/151/EEC of 9 March 1968 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent throughout the Community (5). Where the possibility exists of using company or other websites for publication of draft terms of merger and/or division and of other documents that have to be made available to shareholders and creditors in the process, guarantees relating to the security of the website and the authenticity of the documents should be met.
(5) The requirements concerning disclosure of draft terms of merger in cross-border mergers pursuant to Directive 2005/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on cross-border mergers of limited liability companies (6) should be similar to those applicable to domestic mergers and divisions pursuant to Directive 78/855/EEC and Sixth Council Directive 82/891/EEC of 17 December 1982 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty, concerning the division of public limited liability companies (7).
(6) Member States should be able to provide that the extensive reporting or information requirements relating to the merger or division of companies, laid down in Article 9 and Article 11(1)(c) of Directive 78/855/EEC and in Article 7 and Article 9(1)(c) of Directive 82/891/EEC, need not be complied with if all the shareholders of the companies involved in the merger or division agree that such compliance may be dispensed with.
(7) Any modification of Directives 78/855/EEC and 82/891/EEC allowing such agreement by shareholders should be without prejudice to the systems of protection of the interests of creditors of the companies involved and to rules aimed at ensuring the provision of necessary information to the employees of those companies and to public authorities, such as tax authorities, controlling the merger or division in accordance with existing Community law.
(8) It is not necessary to impose the requirement to draw up an accounting statement where an issuer whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market publishes half-yearly financial reports in accordance with Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market (8).
(9) An independent expert’s report as provided for under Directive 77/91/EEC is often not needed where an independent expert’s report protecting the interests of shareholders or creditors also has to be drawn up in the context of the merger or the division. Member States should therefore have the possibility in such cases of dispensing companies from the reporting requirement under Directive 77/91/EEC or of providing that both reports may be drawn up by the same expert.
(10) Mergers between parent companies and their subsidiaries have a reduced economic impact on shareholders and creditors where the parent company’s holding in the subsidiary amounts to 90 % or more of the shares and other securities conferring the right to vote. The same applies to certain divisions, in particular when companies are split into new companies that are owned by the shareholders in the proportion to their rights in the company being divided. In those cases, the reporting requirements laid down by Directives 78/855/EEC and 82/891/EEC should therefore be reduced.
(11) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to reduce administrative burdens relating in particular to publication and documentation obligations of public limited liability companies within the Community, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States and can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(12) Directives 77/91/EEC, 78/855/EEC, 82/891/EEC and 2005/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better lawmaking (9), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public,

| COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1990 concerning applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America (Gantrade (UK) Ltd) (Only the English, French and Dutch texts are authentic) (91/164/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 (2) amended Regulation (EEC) No 1282/81 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America. Anti-dumping duty of 6 % was applied to the American company Gantrade Corporation.
(2) Council Regulation (EEC) No 490/90 (4) repealed Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 and terminated the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States. Thus, since 2 March 1990, anti-dumping duty can no longer be imposed on those imports.
(3) Commission Decision 90/460/EEC (5), which sets out the detailes of the case, the procedure, and the arguments of the applicant, refunded part of the anti-dumping duties paid by Gantrade (UK) Ltd, Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom, in respect of the import in the period August 1987 to March 1989 of vinyl acetate monomer exported by the United States company Gantrade Corporation. The Decision stated that Gantrade's applications for the period 1 April 1989 to 1 March 1990, the expiry date of the anti-dumping duty applied, would be examined before a further decision was taken.
(4) For this second period, Gantrade, which imported into Belgium, submitted recurring applications for a sum of Bfrs [. . .] (6).
(5) The applicant was informed of the results of the examination after the evidence adduced had been verified and had the opportunity to submit its comments.
(6) Pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the applications' admissibility and merits. No Member State raised any objection.
B. ADMISSIBILITY
(7) The applications are admissible in that they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular with regard to time limits.
C. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(8) The recurring applications concerning the duties paid on vinyl acetate monomer imported by Gantrade UK Ltd between April 1989 and 1 March 1990 appear to be well founded. The actual dumping margin, calculated as it had been for Decision 90/460/EEC using the method used during the first investigation, was nil. Accordingly, the applications for refund submitted by Gantrade (UK) Ltd for imports into the Community between April 1989 and 1 March 1990 of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States must be granted.
D. AMOUNT TO BE REFUNDED
(9) A total of Bfrs [. . .] is therefore to be refunded to Gantrade (UK) Ltd.
The applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties totalling Bfrs [. . .] paid between April 1989 and 1 March 1990 by Gantrade (UK) Ltd are hereby granted.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the Belgian authorities.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium and Gantrade (UK) Ltd, Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 27(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Until 31 December 2000, Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(2), which was repealed by Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, provided for a compensatory allowance to be granted under certain conditions to Community tuna producer organisations for quantities of tuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarter for which prices had been recorded, where both the average quarterly selling price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price plus any applicable countervailing charge were lower than 91 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned.
(2) An examination of the situation on the Community market in the year 2000 has shown that between 1 April and 30 June of that year both the average quarterly selling price and the free-at-frontier price as referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) weighing more than 10 kg each, yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) weighing not more than 10 kg each and skipjack or stripe-bellied bonito (Euthynnus (Katsuwonus) pelamis) were lower than 91 % of the Community producer price in force, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2748/1999(3).
(3) The conditions laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 should be retained in order to take a decision on granting the compensatory allowance on the products in question for the period 1 April to 30 June 2000.
(4) Entitlement to the compensatory allowance should be determined on the basis of sales covered by invoices bearing a date falling within the quarter concerned and which have been used to calculate the average monthly selling price referred to in Article 7(1)(b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93(4), which was repealed with effect from 1 January 2001 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 80/2001(5).
(5) The level of the compensation provided for in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 may not in any case exceed either the difference between the triggering threshold and the average selling price of the product in question on the Community market or a flat-rate amount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold.
(6) The quantities on which compensation as provided for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is payable may under no circumstances exceed the limits laid down in paragraph 3 of that Article for the quarter concerned.
(7) In accordance with the ceilings laid down in Article 18(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 for the purpose of calculating the allowance to be granted to each producer organisation, the quantities on which the allowance is payable should be allocated among the producer organisations concerned in proportion to the quantities produced by them in the same quarter of the 1997, 1998 and 1999 fishing years.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

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 18 June 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Delco - Inertial Navigation System, model Carousel IV-A-III', ordered on 15 March 1980 and to be used for the development of methods and procedures of increasing flight safety on landing and in particular for the supply of precise position data on board of an aircraft for wind speed and thermal wind warning, should be considered as 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 22 October 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 navigation system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Delco - Inertial Navigation System, model Carousel IV-A-III', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 18 June 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

of 11 December 2014
on the extension of the transitional periods related to own funds requirements for exposures to central counterparties in Regulations (EU) No 575/2013 and (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular Article 497(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to avoid disruption to international financial markets and to prevent penalising institutions by subjecting them to higher own funds requirements during the processes of authorisation and recognition of existing central counterparties (‘CCPs’), Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 established a transitional period during which all CCPs with which institutions established in the Union clear transactions will be considered QCCPs.
(2) Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 also amended Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) in respect of certain inputs to the calculation of institutions' own funds requirements for exposures to CCPs. Accordingly, Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 requires certain CCPs to report, for a limited period of time, the total amount of initial margin they have received from their clearing members. That transitional period mirrors the one laid down in Article 497 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
(3) Both the transitional period for own funds requirements set out in Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and the transitional period for reporting the initial margin set out in the first and second subparagraphs of Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 were set to expire on 15 June 2014.
(4) Article 497(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt an implementing act in order to extend the transitional period by six months in exceptional circumstances. That extension should also apply in respect of the time limits laid down in Article 89 (5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 591/2014 (3) has already extended those transitional periods by six months, until 15 December 2014.
(5) The authorisation process for existing CCPs established in the Union has been taking place but will not be completed by 15 December 2014. With regard to existing CCPs established in third countries that have already applied for recognition, for the time being no recognition has been granted yet to such CCPs. A further extension of the transitional period will therefore enable institutions established in the Union (or their subsidiaries established outside the Union) to avoid significant increase in the own funds requirements due to the lack of recognised CCPs established in each of those relevant third countries and providing, in a viable and accessible way, the specific type of clearing services that those Union institutions require. While such an increase may only be temporary, it could potentially lead to their withdrawal as direct participants in those CCPs and hence cause disruption in the markets in which those CCPs operate. An additional six-month extension of the transitional periods, i.e. until 15 June 2015, is therefore necessary.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Banking Committee
The 15-month periods referred to in Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and in the first and second subparagraph of Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, respectively, as already extended pursuant to Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 591/2014, are extended by an additional 6 months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) Council Decision 98/317/EC of 3 May 1998 in accordance with Article 121(4) of the Treaty(4) stipulated that Greece did not fulfil the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency.
(3) Pursuant to Council Decision 2000/427/EC of 19 June 2000 in accordance with Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the adoption by Greece of the single currency on 1 January 2001(5) Greece now fulfils the necessary conditions, and the derogation of Greece should be abrogated with effect from 1 january 2001.
(4) The introduction of the euro in Greece requires the adoption of the conversion rate between the euro and the drachma,
In the list of conversion rates in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2866/98, the following shall be inserted between the rates of the German mark and the Spanish peseta:"= 340,750 Greek drachma."

Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 3383/88 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 July 1988 to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings in recent months (4) pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations;
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 December 1988 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain non-member countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,
With effect from 1 December 1988 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are hereby adjusted as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the payment of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Communities during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof;
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals.
(2) Maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs.
(3) In establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue).
(4) In view of the reduced availability of veterinary medicinal products for certain food-producing species (2), maximum residue limits may be established by methods of extrapolation from maximum residue limits set for other species on a strictly scientific basis.
(5) For the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney. However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.
(6) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.
(7) Albendazole, Febantel, Fenbendazole, Oxfendazole, Thiabendazole, Oxyclozanide, Amitraz, Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin and Dexamethasone should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(8) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC (3) of the European Parliament and of the Council to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products.
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 is hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Whereas the Single Programming Document meets the conditions of and contains the information required in Article 1 (3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 860/94 of 18 April 1994 on plans and applications, in the form of operational programmes, for aid from the Guidance Section of the EAGGF for investments for improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural and forestry products (3);
Whereas the Single Programming Document was drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned under the partnership as defined in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and other existing financial instruments (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (5);
Whereas the second indent of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purposes of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), provides that in Commission decisions approving Single Programming Documents, the Community assistance decided upon for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof are to be set out in ecus, at prices for the year in which the decision is taken, and are to be subject to indexation; whereas the annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in commitment appropriations as set out in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as amended; whereas the indexation is to be based on a single rate per year corresponding to the rates applied annually to the Community budget on the basis of the mechanisms for technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (8), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (9), provides that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year are to contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;

Whereas in order to ensure clarity over the whole of the conditions governing the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 in Germany this Member State will submit to the Commission, before 15 February 1995, a consolidated version of the Single Programming Document showing the agreement reached by the partnership, as set out within the document annexed to the present Decision (10); that this consolidated version must contain all the information required in accordance with Article 10 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 and Articles 8, 9, 10 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 states that the Member States will supply the Commission with appropriate financial information to verify that the principal of additionality is complied with; that this verification should be made for the whole of the Objective 5 (a) measures in each Member State concerned; that the analysis of the information supplied or still to be supplied by the German authorities does not yet allow this verification and therefore must be continued within the framework of partnership; that final verification of the respect of the principal of additionality is essential for the continuation of the award of EAGGF aid to the measures which are the subject of the present Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 enables the Commission, until the end of the eighth 12-month period of application of the additional levy arrangements set out in Article 5c of that Regulation, to modify the intervention arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk powder on the basis of criteria to be adopted by the Council;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 777/87 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (5), sets out the circumstances in which the buying in of butter and skimmed-milk powder can be suspended and subsequently resumed and, where suspension takes place, the alternative measures that may be taken;
Whereas experience has shown that the conditions in which permanent intervention must be resumed for butter under the arrangements thus introduced can create serious difficulties for the management of the market and that such arrangements, furthermore, do not make it possible to attain to the extent desired the objectives pursued regarding market regulation; whereas, consequently, the Commission should no longer be required to resume permanent intervention in certain circumstances and the conditions in which buying-in takes place or not under a tendering procedure should be modified,
Regulation (EEC) No 777/87 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 777/87, paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be replaced by the following:
'3. Should paragraph 1, when applied, bring about a fall in the market prices of butter such that these prices are, in one or more Member States, at a level lower than 92 % of the intervention price for a representative period, buying-in by the intervention agencies shall be carried out in the Member State(s) concerned under an open invitation to tender on the basis of specifications to be determined. Where market prices in the Member State(s) concerned are at a level equal to, or higher than, 92 % of the intervention price for a representative period, buying-in under a tendering procedure shall be suspended.
The buying-in price fixed by the Commission shall not be less than 90 % of the intervention price.
4. If paragraph 2 is applied, buying-in by the intervention agencies may be carried out under an open standing invitation to tender on the basis of specifications to be determined.
5. If paragraphs 3 or 4 are applied:
(a) other measures may be taken to maintain market stability, and in particular to avert erratic price changes;
(b) account shall be taken of the situation arising from the existence in Spain and Portugal of a level of prices different from the level of common prices.'
2. In Article 2, the terms 'until the end of the eighth 12-month period of application of the arrangements' shall be replaced by 'until the end of the arrangements'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products 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 (2).

(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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/94 of 12 December 1994 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 21 (first semester 1995) (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3072/94 lays down the method for administering the Community tariff quota for frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 and for products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 and splits that quota into two parts, one of 21 200 tonnes apportioned between traditional importers and the other of 5 300 tonnes apportioned between operators who have been engaged in trade in beef with third countries;
Whereas, in order to ensure a smooth switchover from arrangements based on national administration to Community-administered arrangements, while bearing in mind the special aspects of trade in the products in question, provision should be made for the allocation of the first part on the one hand to traditional importers in proportion to the quantities imported under the same type of quota in the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 and, on the other hand, to importers in the new Member States; whereas in the case of imports made by the latter, with a view to establishing the reference quantities, a coefficient corresponding to the Community level of traditional imports for GATT purposes compared to total imports of frozen beef should be applied;
Whereas, on the basis of the submission of applications from interested parties and subject to their acceptance by the Commission up to a certain limit, importers who can demonstrate the genuine nature of their business and who apply for quantities of some significance should be granted access to the second part; whereas verification of these criteria requires that applications be submitted in the Member State in which the importer is registered;
Whereas operators no longer engaged in trade in beef and veal at 1 January 1995 should be barred access to the quota in order to prevent speculation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2746/94 (3), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94 (5), lays down special detailed rules for applying the system of import licences for beef and veal;
Whereas restricting the arrangements in question to the first six months shortens the time limit for imports; whereas this time limit should be extended by one month as a transitional measure;
Whereas the effective management of this quota and in particular the prevention of fraud require that the licences used are returned to the competent authorities in order that they may verify that the quantities shown therein are correct; whereas, to that end, an obligation should be imposed on the competent authorities to carry out such verification; whereas the amount of the security to be lodged on the issue of the licences should be fixed in such a way as to ensure that the licences are used and returned to the competent authorities;
Whereas provision should be made for the Member States to forward information on the import arrangements in question;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion wihtin the time limit set by its chairman,
1. For the purposes of applying Article 2 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/94, the 21 200 tonnes shall be allocated between the importers referred to in the first and second indent as follows:
- in proportion to their eligible quantities imported under Council Regulations (EEC) No 3667/91 (6), (EEC) No 3392/92 (7) and (EC) No 130/94 (8) in the case of the importers referred to in the first indent,
- in proportion to their eligible quantities imported multiplied by a coefficient of 0,54 in the case of the importers referred to in the second indent of the aforementioned Article 2 (a).
2. For the purposes of applying Article 2 (b) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/94, the quantity of 5 300 tonnes shall be reserved:
(a) for operators in the Community of Twelve who can furnish proof of having:
- imported at least 160 tonnes of beef in the period 1 January 1993 and 31 December 1994 not subject to the quota referred to in Regulations (EEC) No 3392/92 and (EC) No 130/94, or
- exported at least 300 tonnes of beef in the same period to third countries; and
(b) for operators in the new Member States who can furnish proof of having:
- imported at least 160 tonnes of beef in the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1994 other than the quantities referred to in paragraph 1 to which the coefficient referred to therein has been applied, or
- exported at least 300 tonnes to beef to third countries in the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1994.
For this purpose 'beef' means products falling wihtin CN codes 0201, 0202 and 0206 29 91, and the minimum reference quantities shall be expressed in terms of product weight.
3. The 5 300 tonnes referred to in paragraph 2 shall be allocated in proportion to the quantities applied for by eligible operators.
4. Proof of import and export shall be furnished solely by means of customs documents of release for free circulation or export documents. However, with the Commission's authorization, the new Member States may, if appropriate, accept alternative forms of proof.
1. Operators who are no longer engaged in trade in beef and veal on 1 January 1995 shall not qualify under the arrangements provided for in this Regulation. The Member States shall ensure that this provision is complied with when submitting applications to participate.
2. Companies arising from mergers where each part has rights pursuant to Article 1 (1) shall enjoy the same rights as the companies from which they are formed.
1. Import applications may be submitted only in the Member State in which an applicant is registered.
2. For the purposes of Articles 1 (1), importers shall submit applications to participate together with the proof referred to in Article 1 (4) to the competent authorities by 13 January 1995 at the latest. Where an applicant submits more than one application, all such applications shall be inadmissible.
After verification of the documents submitted, Member States shall forward to the Commission by 3 February 1995 at the latest a list of importers complying with the conditions for acceptance and containing in particular their names and addresses and the quantities of eligible meat imported under the quota in question during each reference year.
3. For the purposes of Article 1 (2), applications to participate from operators shall be lodged together with the proof referred to in Article 1 (4) by 13 January 1995 at the latest.
Where an applicant submits more than one application, all such applications shall be inadmissible.
Applications shall relate to an overall quantity of no more than 50 tonnes of frozen meat in product weight.
After verification of the documents represented, Member States shall forward to the Commission by 3 February 1995 at the latest a list of applicants and quantities applied for.
1. The Commission shall decide as soon as possible to what extent applications may be accepted.
2. Where the quantities covered by applications to participate exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall reduce the quantities applied for by a fixed percentage.
1. Imports of quantities allocated shall be subject to presentation of an import licence.
2. Licence applications may be lodged solely in the Member State in which the applicant is registered.
3. Following decisions on allocation by the Commission, import licences shall be issued as soon as possible on application and in the names of the operators who have obtained rights to import.

For the purpose of applying the arrangements provided for in Regulation (EC) No 3072/94 imports of frozen meat into the customs territory of the Community shall be subject to the conditions laid down in Article 17 (2) (f) of Council Directive 72/462/EEC (10).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 of 19 December 1974 on the common organization of the market in sugar (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1487/76 (2), and in particular Article 19 (2) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 lays down special arrangements to ensure the application of the preferential systems referred to in Title V thereof;
Whereas the provisions of Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 on the system of refunds are therefore applicable to the said preferential sugar;
Whereas Article 15 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1102/75 (4), lays down firstly that no export refund shall be granted for the products listed in Article 1 (1) (a) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74, unless they have been produced from sugar beet or sugar cane harvested within the Community, and secondly that no export refund shall be granted for the products listed in the said Article 1 (1) (d) which are not of Community origin;
Whereas under paragraph 4 of Protocol 17 to the Act of Accession (5) and notwithstanding Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68, the export refund applicable in the United Kingdom may be granted for white sugar produced from raw sugar imported under the terms of the Protocol;
Whereas preferential import systems applying to sugar combined with an undertaking to purchase and import were subsequently introduced by Protocol 3 on sugar annexed to the ACP-EEC Convention of LomĂŠ (6), by Council Decision 75/614/EEC of 25 February 1975 concerning the importation of cane sugar originating in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (7), and by the Agreement between the EEC and the Republic of India on cane sugar (8) ; whereas the implementation of these preferential systems and in particular of the undertakings referred to calls for an extension of the system of export refunds to sugars imported under preferential systems,
Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 15
1. No export refund shall be granted on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 unless they have been: (a) produced from sugar beet or sugar cane harvested within the Community;
(b) imported into the Community by virtue: - of Protocol 3 on sugar annexed to the ACP-EEC Convention of LomĂŠ,
- of Decision 75/614/EEC,
- of the Agreement between the EEC and the Republic of India on cane sugar;
(c) produced from one of the products imported by virtue of the provisions referred to under (b).

Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting for conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is therefore required;
Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for European technical specifications.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 fixes the intervention price for white sugar for non-deficit areas at EUR 631.9 per tonne for the 2001/02 to 2005/06 marketing years.
(2) Article 2(1)(b) of that Regulation provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each deficit area each year. When those prices are fixed, account is to be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, may be expected to occur under natural conditions of price formation on the market and in view of experience gained and the costs of transporting sugar from surplus areas to deficit areas.
(3) To establish whether an area is a deficit area, projections should be made on the basis of the data returned by the Member States relating both to the current marketing year as regards consumption trends, and to the prospects for the coming marketing year as regards developments in available production. As a result, areas should be recognised as deficit areas only where the projections clearly indicate that a deficit is likely to occur.
(4) On this basis, the areas of production in Greece, Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal and Finland are likely to be deficit areas.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The derived intervention prices for white sugar in the deficit areas of the Community for the 2004/05 marketing year shall be:
(a) EUR 655,30 per tonne for all areas in Greece;
(b) EUR 648,80 per tonne for all areas in Spain;
(c) EUR 646,50 per tonne for all areas in Ireland and the United Kingdom;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9, 13 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 31 August 1996, by Regulation (EC) No 1717/96 (3), the Commission initiated an investigation into the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping duties imposed by the Council Regulation (EEC) No 993/93 of 26 April 1993 (4) on imports of certain retail electronic weighing scales (hereinafter 'REWS`) originating in Japan by imports of the same product assembled in and/or transhipped through Indonesia, and it directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter the 'Basic Regulation`), to register imports from Indonesia of the product covered by this investigation.
(2) The investigation was initiated following a request, pursuant to Article 13 (3) of the Basic Regulation, lodged on behalf of the Community industry by the following companies:
- Bizerba GmbH & Co KG,
- Campesa SA,
- Dataprocess Industria SpA,
- Testut SA,
- Lutrana SA,
- GEC Avery Limited,
- Maatschappij van Berkel's Patent BV,
- Breveti van Berkel SpA.
(3) The request contained evidence, in accordance with Article 13 (3) of the Basic Regulation, that the anti-dumping duty on imports of REWS produced by TEC Corporation, Tokyo (5) (hereinafter 'TEC`) and originating in Japan could be being circumvented by assembly operations in and/or transhipments through Indonesia of REWS subsequently exported to the Community. The evidence was considered to be sufficient to justify the initiation of an investigation.
(4) The product under consideration consists of electronic weighing scales for use in the retail trade which incorporate a digital display of the weight, unit price and price to be paid, whether or not including a means of printing this data (hereinafter referred to as 'REWS`). REWS are currently classified within CN code ex 8423 81 50.
(5) The investigation covered the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.
(6) The following companies cooperated in the investigation and submitted satisfactory replies to the questionnaires:
- TEC Corporation (Japan) (exporter),
- PT TEC Indonesia (hereinafter TEC Indonesia) (assembler),
- TEC Elektronic GMBH (related importer),
- TEC UK Ltd (related importer),
- TEC France International SA (related importer),
- TEC Belgium SA (related importer).
Companies which requested to be heard within the time limits set by Regulation (EC) No 1717/96 were granted a hearing. The Commission advised the authorities of Japan, Singapore and Indonesia and held consultations with representatives of Indonesia.
The Indonesian company mentioned in the request, PT Kahar Duta Sarana (Jakarta, Indonesia), informed the Commission that it distributed REWS on the Indonesian market but that it dit not export REWS to the European Community. Consequently it did not reply to the questionnaire.
B. INVESTIGATION
(7) The first sentence of Article 13 (1) of the Basic Regulation provides for anti-dumping duties in force to be extended to imports of finished products from third countries when circumvention of the measures is taking place. The investigation showed that the operation in Indonesia consisted of an assembly-operation of REWS. Article 13 (2) of the Basic Regulation specifies the conditions under which an assembly operation shall be considered to circumvent measures in force.
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Nature of the circumvention practice
(8) The investigation has established that TEC Corporation (Japan) assembles REWS in Indonesia through its subsidiary, TEC Indonesia, some of those assembled REWS being exported to the Community. The assembly of REWS in Indonesia started in May 1994 on Batham Island (Indonesia), a free trade area located close to Singapore.
The Commission verified that TEC Indonesia, already established in July 1992, is fully owned by TEC Singapore Electronics Ltd (hereinafter TEC Singapore) which in turn is fully owned by TEC Corporation (Japan). It produces electronic equipment, among which REWS, under a licence agreement with TEC Singapore. TEC Indonesia was found to be, de facto, a workshop of TEC Singapore and both companies are consequently considered, for the purpose of the investigation, to constitute a single economic entity.
(9) TEC Indonesia procures all the parts used for the assembly of REWS from TEC Singapore. TEC Singapore buys parts from Japan (inter alia, from its mother company TEC Corporation), from Singapore and from third countries. In addition, TEC Singapore mounts printed circuit boards (PCBs) which are sold, among others, to TEC Indonesia.
The REWS, once assembled by TEC Indonesia, are sold to TEC Singapore which in its turn sells these to TEC Corporation (Japan). The latter takes care of the export administration (marketing and invoicing) as regards, inter alia, the Community. Physically, the REWS are shipped to the Community from Indonesia.
(10) The Indonesian company mentioned in the complaint (PT Kahar Duta Sarana) is the domestic distributor of TEC REWS in Indonesia. Sales of TEC REWS to PT Kahar Duta Sarana during the investigation period were limited in quantity and it was verified that these sales were only destined to the Indonesian market.
The major part of the TEC REWS exported to the Community during the investigation period were sold to the four related importers listed above (recital (6)). The remainder were sold to independent distributors in the Community.
2. Conditions of Article 13 (2) of the Basic Regulation
(i) Start or substantial increase of operations
(11) The assembly of TEC REWS by TEC Indonesia started in May 1994, i.e. after the initiation of the anti-dumping investigation in 1991 (notice of initiation published on 26 February 1991 (6) that led to the imposition of the original measures in April 1993. It was found that no TEC REWS were assembled by TEC Indonesia prior to May 1994.
The export of the Indonesian assembled REWS to the Community appears to have grown from zero in May 1994 to 5 114 units during the investigation period.
(ii) 60 % rule on the total value of the parts of the assembled product
(12) The value of parts has been calculated in respect of REWS assembled in Indonesia which were exported to the Community during the investigation period.
(13) All elements, material or immaterial (such as software) purchased by TEC Indonesia to be incorporated into the REWS have been considered as parts. Any element manufactured, assembled or developed by TEC Indonesia or TEC Singapore (as these companies are considered as a single economic entity) to be incorporated into the REWS has been considered as an individual part where its manufacture, assembly or development could not be reversed to any extent without significantly diminishing the value of that element.
It was found that it was feasible to dismantle all sub-assemblies, other than the load cells, to a prior level of assembly without significantly diminishing their value. The value added resulting from the assembly of these sub-assemblies has been accounted for under the 25 % value added test (see below).
(14) Printed circuit boards (PCBs) assembled by TEC Singapore and sold to TEC Indonesia for the assembly of REWS exported to the Community have been brought to the level of assembly immediately prior to the mounting of the stuffings (i.e. electronic components) into the bare board. Consequently the value of parts purchased by TEC Singapore for the assembly of these PCBs, has been considered for the calculation of the 60/40 % test, according to their respective origins.
The value of load cells (which it appeared impossible to disassemble without causing significant material damage to the components and consequent diminution in its value) has therefore been calculated as the cost of parts as brought in plus direct labour cost plus manufacturing overheads.
(15) The weighted average value of parts of Japanese origin incorporated into TEC REWS assembled by TEC Indonesia and sold to the Community during the investigation period was found to exceed the 60 % threshold.
(16) However, it has also been found that, in April 1996 (towards the end of the investigation period), TEC Japan transferred to Indonesia the production of an important part for the two models of REWS that are exported to the Community. This transfer led to a considerable reduction of the value of parts of Japanese origin incorporated in the REWS manufactured by TEC Indonesia which, at the end of the investigation period, was far below the 60 % threshold. In this respect, it should be noted that the value of parts of Japanese origin incorporated in each individual model was also less than 60 % at the end of the investigation period.
(17) Although, as a rule, the situation during the whole period of investigation is used as a basis for the decision on whether measures are to be taken, the Commission took into consideration in this case the very substantial decrease of the percentage of Japanese parts that occurred at the end of the investigation period, that the production of an important part for REWS had been transferred to Indonesia, and that this decrease in the percentage of Japanese parts used in REWS assembled by TEC Indonesia is likely to be maintained as it results from a change in the production pattern which it would be uneconomic to reverse.
(18) Under these particular circumstances, the Commission considers that the TEC assembly operation in Indonesia should be considered not to meet the parts value requirement of Article 13 (2) (b).
(iii) 25 % rule: value added
(19) The weighted average value added brought in to the parts used for the assembly of the REWS exported to the Community by TEC Indonesia has been found to be far below the 25 % threshold of Article 13 (2) (b). Incidentally, the Commission also noted that the sum of the value of the parts of Indonesian origin, plus the value added to the parts brought into the assembly operation, plus the SG& A and the profit of TEC Indonesia, only represented a small part of the ex-factory (TEC Indonesia) price of REWS.
D. TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION
(20) In the light of the above findings it appears appropriate to terminate the present investigation without extending the existing anti-dumping measures. The registration of imports of REWS from Indonesia introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1717/96 should therefore cease and that Regulation will be repealed.
(21) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objections.
(22) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation and were given the opportunity to comment and their comments have been considered,
The investigation concerning the circumvention of the anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 993/93 on imports of certain retail electronic weighing scales originating in Japan by imports of the same product assembled in and/or transhipped through Indonesia initiated by Regulation (EC) No 1717/96 is hereby terminated.

(1) Directive 74/483/EEC is one of the separate Directives for the purposes of the EC type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 70/156/EEC. The provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 74/483/EEC.
(2) In view of technical progress, and in the interest of providing clarity in the technical requirements, it is appropriate to adjust the requirements with respect to the vehicle bumpers.
(3) Annex IV, Part II of Directive 70/156/EEC provides a listing of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) Regulations which may be accepted as alternatives to type-approval Directives. It is therefore necessary, when adapting to technical progress the Annex I to Directive 74/483/EEC, to align the requirements of that Directive and its equivalent UN/ECE Regulation 26.
(4) Directive 74/483/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress set up under Article 13(1) of Directive 70/156/EEC,
Annex I to Directive 74/483/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
With effect from 4 April 2009, a Member State, on grounds related to external projections, shall refuse to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval of a type of vehicle if the requirements laid down in Directive 74/483/EEC, as amended by this Directive, are not complied with.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 4 April 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 5 April 2008.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1243/2007
of 24 October 2007
amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin
(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 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Reducing the administrative burden imposed on enterprises by existing Community legislation is a crucial element for improving their competitiveness and for achieving the objectives of the Lisbon agenda.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. That Regulation provides that food business operators are to comply with the relevant provisions of Annex III thereto.
(3) The requirements of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 as regards vessels engaged in primary production and associated operations supplement those laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2). In particular, those vessels are to keep and retain records relating to measures put in place to control hazards in an appropriate manner and for an appropriate period.
(4) Experience has shown that for food business operators involved in small-scale coastal fishing within the meaning of Article 26 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund (3), that requirement may create an additional administrative burden. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a derogation from that requirement for such operators.
(5) Section XIV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 sets out the requirements for the production of gelatine intended for human consumption. It specifies that when manufactured from ruminant bone material, gelatine must be produced using a unique process that ensures that all bone material is subjected to an alkaline treatment of saturated lime solution (pH > 12,5) for a period of at least 20 days with a heat treatment step of 138 °C minimum during at least four seconds, after having been finely crushed and degreased with hot water and treated with dilute hydrochloric acid (at minimum concentration of 4 % and pH < 1,5) over a period of at least two days.
(6) The Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of the European Food Safety Authority adopted on 18 January 2006 an opinion on the ‘Quantitative assessment of the human BSE risk posed by gelatine with respect to residual BSE risk’. On 18 May 2006, it adopted another opinion on the ‘Quantitative assessment of the human BSE risk posed by bovine vertebral column including dorsal root ganglia with respect to residual BSE risk’. According to both opinions, the production processes involving an acid process or a heat and pressure process ensure respectively equivalent and higher BSE infectivity reduction compared to the safety level achieved by applying the alkaline process currently required by Section XIV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. The conditions for the production of gelatine should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) There have been difficulties in interpreting provisions on possible other use of gelatine and collagen produced in accordance with the provisions laid down in Sections XIV and XV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 in some Member States. It is therefore appropriate to clarify those provisions in order to harmonise their implementation.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (1), of 1992, introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products; and in particular Article 3 (4) and 4 (4) hereof,
Whereas in application of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, it is necessary to determine for the pigmeat sector and for the 1992/93 marketing year, on the one hand, the quantities of meat and processed products of the forecast supply balance which benefit from an exemption for the levy on direct imports from third countries or from an aid for deliveries originating from the rest of the Community, and on the other hand, the quantities of pure-bred breeding animals originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the archipelago of the Canaries;
Whereas it is appropriate to fix the amount of the aids referred to above for the supply to the archipelago, on the one hand, in meat and, on the other hand, of breeding animals originating in the rest of the Community; whereas these aids must be fixed taking into account in particular the costs of supply from the world market, conditions due to the geographical situation of the archipelago and the basis of the current prices on export to third countries for the animals or products concerned;
Whereas the common detailed implementing rules for the supply regime for the Canary Islands for certain agricultural products were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 (2); whereas it is appropriate to lay down complementary implementing rules adjusted in the light of current commercial practices in the pigmeat sector in particular regarding the duration of the validity of import certificates and the aid, the amount of the securities ensuring compliance with their obligations by operators;
Whereas with view to efficiently managing the supply regime, it is necessary to provide for a time limit for the making of requests for certificates and a period of reflection for the delivery of the latter;
Whereas in application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the supply regime is applicable from 1 July 1992; whereas it is necessary to provide for application of the detailed implementing rules from the same date;
Whereas the measures provided for in the present regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the quantities of the forecast supply balance with products from the pigmeat sector which benefit from the exoneration from the import levy on products coming from third countries or which benefit from Community aid are fixed in Annex I.
1. The aid provided for in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 for products included in the forecast supply balance and which come from the Community market is fixed in Annex II.
2. Products benefitting from the aid are specified in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3) and in particular Annex VII.
The aid provided for in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 for the supply to the Canary Islands of pure-bred breeding pigs originating from the Community as well as the number of animals which benefit from it are fixed in Annex III.
Spain shall designate the competent authority for:
(a) the delivery of import certificates;
(b) the delivery of the aid certificate provided for in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92;
(c) the payment of the aid to the operators concerned.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 20/89 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 with regard to the tariff classification of knitted tracksuits, which are garments covered by CN codes 6112 and 6211, and to specify certain of their characteristics in relation to other garments covered by the said nomenclature;
Whereas CN codes 6103, 6104, 6203 and 6204 cover, amongst other things, ensembles as defined by Note 3 (b) to Chapters 61 and 62;
Whereas tracksuits are worn exclusively or mainly in the pursuit of sports activities, such a criterion, on the contrary, is not essential to the classification of ensembles;
Whereas the term 'ensemble' does not include tracksuits, it is necessary to determine a correct distinction, within the combined nomenclature, between those two types of garments;
Whereas tracksuits comprise two garments, a garment intended to cover the upper part of the body and trousers; ensembles may also be composed in the same way;
Whereas that garment, of tracksuits as well as of ensembles, intended to cover the upper part of the body may often have a full or partial opening at the front;
Whereas on the one hand the common characteristics of the tracksuits and ensembles cited above render it difficult in practice to correctly distinguish between those two types of garments; on the other hand tracksuits are intended for a very specific function in relation to that of ensembles;
Whereas when those components of tracksuits which are intended to cover the upper part of the body have an opening at the front, that opening is generally fastened by means of a zip-fastener; however the said garments may also have other fastening systems; those fastening systems may not be of such a kind that the tracksuits lose their essential character; therefore, when the garments intended to cover the upper part of the body have a complete opening at the front, the fastening systems are restricted to a zip-fastener, press-studs or velcro; however, when the opening is only partial, in certain circumstances it may also be fastened by any type of buttons;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Nomenclature Committee;
For the purposes of the classification of tracksuits in CN codes 6112 or 6211, where the garment intended to cover the upper part of the body has a complete opening at the front this must be fastened by means of a zip-fastener, press-studs or velcro.
Where, however, the opening at the front is only partial, it may also be fastened by any type of buttons, provided that the opening is no longer than one third of the length of the garment measured from the neckline.

(3) The refund applicable in the case of malts must be calculated with amount taken of the quantity of cereals required to manufacture the products in question. The said quantities are laid down 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 these rules to the present situation on markets 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,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 September 2006.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (2), stipulates that the cif import price for molasses established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (3), is to be considered the representative price.

(2) For the purpose of fixing the representative prices, account must be taken of all the information provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, except in the cases provided for in Article 4 of that Regulation and those prices should be fixed, where appropriate, in accordance with the method provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation.

(4) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the terms laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the overseas countries and territories (1), extended by Regulation (EEC) No 692/86 (2), and in particular Articles 13 and 22 thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 stipulates that, for the period 1 January to 31 March, carrots, falling within subheading ex 07.01 G II of the Common Customs Tariff, and, for the period 15 February to 15 May, onions, falling within subheading ex 07.01 H of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the countries in question are subject on importation into the Community to the reduced rates of duty of 10,2 and 4,8 % respectively; whereas such reduction of duties applies only to imports up to ceilings of 500 tonnes for each of these products above which the customs duties actually applicable to third countries are re-established;
Whereas, according to Articles 6 and 18 of the Annex to Council Regulation 691/86 of 3 March 1986 establishing arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) on the other (3), the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for fruit and vegetables falling within Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4) until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas, consequently, the present Regulation applies only to the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible re-establishment of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to re-establish customs tariff duties if one of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of the products, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States, and the overseas countries and territories, which are listed in the Annex, shall in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, be subject to ceilings and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first subparagraph, their tariff headings, the customs duties applicable, the periods of validity and the levels of the ceilings are set out in the said Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, as defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission shall adopt a regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clar days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1987.

Whereas the reference methods mentioned above were introduced for the control of compliance with conditions relating to the tracing of butter, butteroil and cream under certain schemes under which these products are subsidised; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of an aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1982/98 (9) which repealed and replaced Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 531/96 (11), changed the tolerance limits relating to the incorporation of tracers which had previously been applicable;
Whereas the tolerance limits for the incorporation of tracers have similarly been adapted in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85 (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 101/1999 (13) and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/90 (14) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 124/1999 (15);
Whereas, furthermore, experience has shown that it is necessary to clarify the application of control results to verify the rate and purity of the tracer incorporation as well as the homogeneity;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the regulations establishing the reference methods referred to;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1) and in particular Article 13a(4)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, plants, plant products or other objects listed in that Directive, coming from third countries, are in principle to be accompanied by the original of the required official ‘phytosanitary certificate’ or ‘phytosanitary certificate for re-export’ (certificates).
(2) The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) of 6 December 1951 concluded at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) specifies in its Annex models of certificates providing a standard wording and format that should be followed for the preparation and issue of certificates.
(3) The IPPC was significantly amended in 1979 and 1997. As a consequence of those amendments different models of the certificates were approved to accompany plants, plant products and other objects when moving in international traffic.
(4) Although the amendments of the IPPC in 1997 have not yet entered into force, Resolution 12/97 of the 29th session of the Conference of the FAO allowed the use of the amended certificates as an alternative and on voluntary basis among Contracting Parties to the IPPC that accept them. It appeared that many Contracting Parties to the IPPC already use the certificates based on the models specified in the Annex to the IPPC, as amended in 1997.
(5) The models of certificates to accompany plants, plant products or other objects for entry into the Community should be determined.
(6) National plant protection organisations usually stock up certificates in large quantities. It is appropriate to lay down rules for the use of certificates based on the models specified in the Annex to IPPC, as amended in 1979, during a transitional period.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. For the purposes of Article 13(1)(ii) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Member States shall accept official ‘phytosanitary certificates’ or ‘phytosanitary certificates for re-export’ (certificates) accompanying plants, plant products or other objects listed in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC coming from contracting third countries to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) which are issued in accordance with the models as specified in Annex I.
2. Member States shall only accept the certificates referred to in paragraph 1 provided that they have been completed taking into account the FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 12 on Guidelines for phytosanitary certificates.
The Member States shall accept certificates issued in accordance with the models as specified in Annex II, until 31 December 2009.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/510/CFSP of 10 June 2004 amending Common Position 2004/31/CFSP concerning the imposition of an embargo on arms, munitions and military equipment on Sudan (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Common Position 2004/31/CFSP (2) provides for an embargo on arms, munitions and military equipment for Sudan, including a ban on the provision of technical and financial assistance related to military activities in Sudan. The ban on the provision of technical and financial assistance related to military activities is implemented at Community level by Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Sudan (3).
(2) In view of recent developments in Sudan and the region, including the signature on 8 April 2004 of a Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement on the Conflict in Darfur, and in view of the planned deployment of an African Union-led Ceasefire Commission in Sudan, Common Position 2004/31/CFSP was amended by Common Position 2004/510/CFSP on 10 June 2004 by providing for an additional exemption to the embargo for crisis management operations of the African Union.
(3) That exemption also applies to the embargo on certain financial and technical assistance. Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In order to ensure that the exemption becomes effective as soon as possible, this Regulation should enter into force immediately and apply from the date on which Common Position 2004/510/CFSP was adopted,
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 4
1. By way of derogation from Articles 2 and 3, the competent authorities of Member States as listed in the Annex, may authorise the provision of financing and financial assistance and technical assistance related to:
(a) non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, or for institution-building programmes of the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and the Community;
(b) materiel intended for European Union and United Nations crisis management operations;
(c) mine clearance equipment and materiel for use in mine clearance;
(d) African Union crisis management operations, including materiel intended for such operations.
2. No authorisations shall be granted for activities that have already taken place.’

Whereas Council Directive 75/271/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 87/348/EEC (4), specifies the regions in France which are on the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the French Government has applied, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, for an adjustment of the boundaries of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 75/271/EEC;
Whereas the transfer of certain areas already listed as areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC to the list of areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of that Directive is in accordance with the indices and the values, including the criteria for exceptions, used in Directive 75/271/EEC to define mountain areas;
Whereas the adjustments requested by the French Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC do not have the combined effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of the less-favoured areas as a whole and do not, therefore, affect the maximum figure referred to in that Article;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
The list of less-favoured areas in France which is set out in the Annex to Directive 75/271/EEC is hereby amended as shown in the Annex to this Decision.

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 Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 (4) introduced a co-responsibility levy to apply until the end of the 1991/92 milk year and covering, in principle, all milk supplied to dairies and certain sales of milk products at the farm;
Whereas the object of that levy was to achieve better balance on the market for milk by establishing a more direct link between production and the possibilities of disposing of milk products, in view of the importance of the public interests involved; whereas the data and forecasts at present available show that the abovementioned objectives will probably not be attained before the end of the period laid down; whereas the application of that Regulation should therefore be extended for the 1992/93 milk year;
Whereas the trend on the market situation is such that the rate of the levy for the 1992/93 milk year should be maintained at 1,5 % of the target price for milk,
Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 shall be amended as follows:
1. In Article 1:
(a) in paragraph 1, the terms 'and 1991/92' shall be replaced by ', 1991/92 and 1992/93';
(b) in paragraph 4, the first subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
'4. Producers whose individual reference quantity is less than or equal to 60 000 kg for the relevant period of the additional levy system shall be eligible for a 0,5 point reduction in the levy resulting from Article 2.';
2. In Article 2, the following paragraph shall be added:
'14. With regard to the 1992/93 milk year the levy shall be fixed at 1,5 % of the target price for milk.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
