31984R1974 | Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/84 of 11 July 1984 temporarily suspending certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1974/84
of 11 July 1984
temporarily suspending certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 9a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2466/82 (4), provided for the issue of licences with a long period of validity for products falling within subheadings 11.07 A I b), 11.07 A II b) and 11.07 B of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas this special facility was granted in order to take account of commercial practices concerning the products in question; whereas, however, in order to avoid speculative use of this extended period of validity, the issue of such licences was made subject to very stringent conditions, consisting, in particular, in the requirement that the exporter state the destination of the export, actually export to that destination and furnish proof of arrival at destination;
Whereas the situation and the foreseeable trend of the world market in barley and malt and, in particular, the keen competition and uncertainty on the world market justify a temporary relaxation of the requirements imposed by the existing rules; whereas, for the period of the marketing year, it appears warranted in order to enable those concerned to adapt to market conditions to suspend the requirement that the destination of export be stated and that the goods be exported to that destination;
Whereas it is likewise necessary to suspend for the same period the special requirements imposed by the existing rules as regards the release of the securities accompanying applications for such long-period licences; whereas this suspension must cover the requirements both as to statement of destination and as to the provision of proof of arrival at destination;
Whereas the suspension measures adopted temporarily by this Regulation must in no way affect the existing requirements imposed in the case of licences currently valid at the time of its entry into force;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Article 9c of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 9c
1. In the case of applications for export licences relating to products falling within subheadings 11.07 A I b), 11.07 A II b) and 11.07 B of the Common Customs Tariff and submitted between 1 July 1984 and 30 April 1985, the provisions of Article 9a shall be suspended.
2. By way of derogation from Article 9, export licences for the products mentioned in paragraph 1, applications for which are submitted between 1 July 1984 and 30 April 1985, shall, at the request of the party concerned, be valid from the day of their issue within the meaning of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80:
- until 30 September 1985 in respect of licences issued from 1 January to 30 April 1985,
- until the end of the 11th month following that of issue, in respect of licences issued from 1 July to 31 October 1984,
- until 30 September 1985 in respect of licences issued from 1 November to 31 December 1984.
3. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80, rights deriving from the licences referred to in paragraph 2 shall not be transferable.
4. In the case of licences issued pursuant to paragraph 2, the security shall be:
- 30 ECU per tonne in the case of licences issued on or before 31 December 1984,
- 24 ECU per tonne in the case of licences issued between 1 January and 30 April 1985.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1984.
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 |
32002D0601 | 2002/601/EC: Council Decision of 27 June 2002 amending Decision 1999/311/EC adopting the third phase of the trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education (Tempus III) (2000 to 2006)
| Council Decision
of 27 June 2002
amending Decision 1999/311/EC adopting the third phase of the trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education (Tempus III) (2000 to 2006)
(2002/601/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 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),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) On 23 July 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 on financial and technical measures to accompany (MEDA) the reform of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership(4).
(2) The Mediterranean region constitutes a priority area for the Community and the political, economic and social development of the Mediterranean partners is a challenge of ever increasing proportions.
(3) It is important to pursue and intensify the cooperation launched within the Euro-Mediterranean partnership which was established by the Barcelona declaration of 27 November 1995.
(4) The Barcelona declaration recognises that the traditions of culture and civilisation throughout the Mediterranean region, dialogue between these cultures and exchanges at human, scientific and technological level are an essential factor in bringing the Mediterranean peoples closer, promoting understanding between them and improving their perception of each other. It stresses the essential nature of the development of human resources, both as regards the education and training of young people in particular, and in the area of culture, and recognises the essential contribution civil society can make in the process of development of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership and as an essential factor for greater understanding and closeness between peoples.
(5) Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in higher education is an indispensable instrument to achieve the key objectives set out in the Barcelona declaration and in particular to develop human resources, promote understanding between cultures and rapprochement of the peoples in the Euro-Mediterranean region as well as to develop free and flourishing civil societies.
(6) On 29 April 1999 the Council adopted Decision 1999/311/EC adopting the third phase of the trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education (Tempus III) (2000 to 2006)(5).
(7) The Tempus III programme has proved an effective tool for structural cooperation in, and development of, higher education including the improvement of human resources and occupational skills. Via universities and university staff it can also make an effective contribution to the development of public administration and education structures in the eligible countries.
(8) Enlarging the geographical scope of the Tempus III programme to the Mediterranean non-member countries and territories referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 would make it possible to build on the proven strengths of that programme, achieve economies of scale and favour regional cooperation around the wider Euro-Mediterranean region.
(9) It is appropriate to extend the period covered by the Tempus III programme by six months to 31 December 2006 without adjusting the financial provision, since that period corresponds to that of the financial perspectives as well as that of the other major Community education and training programmes.
(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of the Tempus III programme should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6).
(11) Decision 1999/311/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 1999/311/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Articles 1 and 2 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 1

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 108 (3) thereof,
Whereas by the Decision of 3 December 1980, the Commission authorized Ireland to take certain measures pursuant to Article 108 (3) of the Treaty;
Whereas, despite the marked improvement obtained by applying from 1981 a set of measures with the medium-term objective of restoring the financial situation and reinforcing the competitiveness of the Irish economy, the balance on current transactions is still heavily in deficit;
Whereas the cost of major external indebtedness, which has been aggravated in particular by the appreciation of the dollar and the rise of international interest rates in real terms, is exercising a serious constraint on the conduct of the process of adjusting the Irish economy;
Whereas the continuation of that process against the background of a stable exchange rate for the Irish pound requires that the measures Ireland was authorized to take to prevent an excessive outflow of capital should be maintained;
Whereas the Irish authorities must see to it that any appreciable improvement in the payments situation and the external indebtedness situation leads to a relaxation of the protective measures,
1. Ireland is authorized, temporarily and within the limits of the measures listed in the Annex hereto, to prohibit or subject to prior exchange authorization, the conclusion or performance of transactions and transfers relating to the capital movements liberalized at the date of this Decision, pursuant to Article 2 of the Council Directive of 11 May 1960 (First Directive) for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty, as amended by the Directive of 18 December 1962.
2. Unless otherwise provided for by the Commission under the conditions laid down in Article 2 (3), this Decision shall remain in force for three years from the date of its adoption.
1. The Commission shall keep the economic situation in Ireland under close review.
2. It reserves the right to amend or repeal this Decision, after consulting the Member State concerned, if it finds that the circumstances underlying its adoption change significantly or that its effects are more restrictive than necessary for the attainment of its aim.
3. If the Member State to which this Decision is addressed claims, before the expiration of the period of validity, that its balance of payments is still in difficulties or seriously threatened with difficulties, the Commission shall review the overall economic situation with a view to determining whether the protective measures still applied should be renewed in whole or in part.
The Commission Decision of 3 December 1980 is hereby repealed.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Whereas it is important to encourage the implementation of the first exchange programme so as to acquire the experience necessary for the development of this type of measure and, in particular, for the improvement of future programmes;
Whereas the Community financial contribution should be laid down so as to facilitate the implementation of this first programme;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(4) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) 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)(d)(f)(g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2003.

the main priorities are:
1. Strengthening the productive sector;

of 18 February 2002
concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Council Common Position 2002/145/CFSP of 18 February 2002 concerning restrictive measures against Zimbabwe(1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Council has expressed serious concern about the situation in Zimbabwe, in particular the recent escalation of violence and intimidation of political opponents and the harassment of the independent press. It has noted that the Government of Zimbabwe has not taken effective measures to improve the situation as called for by the European Council in Laeken last December.
(2) The Council has assessed that the Government of Zimbabwe continues to engage in serious violations of human rights and of the freedom of opinion, of association and of peaceful assembly. Therefore, for as long as the violations occur, the Council deems it necessary to introduce restrictive measures against the government of Zimbabwe and those who bear a wide responsibility for such violations.
(3) Therefore, Common Position 2002/145/CFSP provides that certain restrictive measures will be taken in respect of Zimbabwe, in particular the freezing of funds, financial assets or economic resources of individual members of the Government and natural or legal persons associated with them as well as a ban on exports on repression equipment and a ban on technical advice, assistance or training related to military activities.
(4) These measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the said measures as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty,
For the purpose of this Regulation:
1. "Funds, other financial assets or economic resources" means assets of every kind, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, however acquired, and legal documents or instruments in any form, including electronic or digital, evidencing title to, or interest in, such assets, including, but not limited to, bank credits, travellers' cheques, bank cheques, money orders, shares, securities, bonds, drafts and letters of credit;
2. "freezing of funds, other financial assets or economic resources" means: preventing any move, transfer, alteration, use of or dealing with funds in any way that would result in any change in their volume, amount, location, ownership, possession, character, destination or other change that would enable the use of the funds, including portfolio management.
1. All funds, other financial assets or economic resources belonging to individual members of the Government of Zimbabwe and to any natural or legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them as listed in Annex I, shall be frozen.
2. No funds, financial assets or economic resources shall be made available directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies listed in Annex I.
1. Without prejudice to the applicable rules concerning reporting, confidentiality and professional secrecy and to the provisions of Article 284 of the Treaty, natural and legal persons, entities and bodies shall:
(a) provide immediately any information which would facilitate compliance with this Regulation, such as accounts and amounts frozen in accordance with Article 2 to the competent authorities of the Member States listed in Annex III where they are resident or located, and to the Commission.
In particular, available information in respect of funds, financial assets or economic resources owned or controlled by persons listed in Annex I during the period of six months before the entry into force of this Regulation shall be provided;
(b) cooperate with the competent authorities listed in Annex III in any verification of this information.
2. Any information provided or received in accordance with this Article shall be used only for the purposes for which it was provided or received.
3. Any additional information directly received by the Commission shall be made available to the competent authorities of the Member States concerned.
Article 2 shall not apply to:
(a) the crediting of frozen accounts on the condition that any additions shall be frozen;
(b) the use of frozen funds for:
- essential human needs of a natural person included in Annex I such as payments for foodstuffs, medicines, the rent or mortgage for the family residence and fees and charges concerning medical treatment of members of that family, to be fulfilled within the Community;
- payment of taxes, compulsory insurance premiums and fees for public utility services such as gas, water, electricity and telecommunications to be paid in the Community;
- payment of charges due to a financial institution in the Community for the maintenance of accounts.
The Commission shall be informed of any payment made under this Article and of conclusive evidence of the fulfilment of the conditions and the purposes. Such evidence shall be kept available for at least five years for inspection by competent authorities.
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2 and with a view to the protection of the interests of the Community, which include the interests of its citizens and residents, the competent authorities of a Member State may grant specific authorisations:
- to unfreeze funds, other financial assets or other economic resources,
- to make funds, other financial assets or other economic resources available to a person, entity or body included in the list referred to in Article 2(2),
after consultation with the other Member States and the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2.
2. A competent authority which receives a request for an authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 shall notify the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission, as listed in Annex III, of the grounds on which it intends to either reject the request or grant a specific authorisation.
The competent authority which intends to grant a specific authorisation shall take due account of comments made within two weeks by other Member States and the Commission.
Without prejudice to the powers of the Member States in the exercise of their public authority, the provision to Zimbabwe of technical training or assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of arms and related material of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned shall be prohibited.
1. It shall be prohibited, knowingly and intentionally, to sell, supply, export or ship, directly or indirectly, equipment which might be used for internal repression as listed in Annex II to any natural or legal person, entity or body in Zimbabwe or for the purpose of any business carried on in or operated from the territory of Zimbabwe.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to supplies of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, and related technical assistance or training, nor shall they apply to protective clothing, including flak jackets and military helmets, temporarily exported to Zimbabwe by United Nations personnel, representatives of the media and humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel for their personal use only.
The Commission shall be empowered to amend:
- Annex I on the basis of decisions in respect of the Annex of Common Position 2002/145/CFSP, and
- Annex III on the basis of information supplied by the Member States.
The participation, knowingly and intentionally, in related activities the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly to promote the transactions or activities referred to in Articles 2, 6 and 7 or to circumvent the provisions of this Regulation shall be prohibited.

The Commission and the Member States shall immediately inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, in particular information in respect of violation and enforcement problems and judgements handed down by national courts.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 5 February 2010
setting up the GMES Partners Board
(2010/67/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) is an Earth observation initiative led by the European Union and carried out in partnership with the Member States. Its objective is to foster better exploitation of the industrial potential of policies of innovation, research and technological development in the field of Earth observation and to provide information services.
(2) In order to achieve the objective of GMES on a sustainable basis, it is necessary to coordinate the activities of the various partners involved in GMES and to develop, establish and operate a service and observation capacity meeting the demands of users. For this purpose, the Commission may need to call upon the expertise of specialists in an advisory body.
(3) In its Communication entitled ‘Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES): we care for a safer planet’ (1), the Commission announced the establishment of a Partners Board to assist the Commission in the overall coordination of GMES.
(4) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the field of GMES and Earth observation and to define its tasks and its structure.
(5) The group should help to ensure the coordination of contributions to GMES by all partners, making best use of existing capacities and identifying gaps to be addressed at Union level. It should assist the Commission in monitoring the coherent implementation of the European Earth Observation Programme (GMES). It should monitor the evolution of policy and enable exchange of good practices in GMES and Earth observation.
(6) The Partners Board should be composed of representatives of the Member States with competence in the Earth observation, environment and security sectors. Representatives should be nominated by their national authorities responsible for Earth observation in their Member State.
(7) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the Board should be provided for, without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (2).
(8) Personal data relating to members of the Board should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).
(9) Provision should be made for the participation of Norway and Switzerland, members of the European Space Agency, in the work of the group. Representatives of organisations involved in Earth observation, in particular former members of the GMES Advisory Council, should be able to attend meetings of the group as observers.
(10) It is appropriate to fix a period for the application of this Decision. The Commission will in due time consider the advisability of an extension,
The GMES Partners Board
The GMES Partners Board, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Board’, is hereby set up.
Tasks

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Whereas the Council had adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85 of 23 July 1985 concerning the integrated Mediterranean programmes (1);
Whereas pilot actions are necessary to test the methods for implementing the integrated Mediterranean programmes in order that such programmes may be implemented as soon as possible after their adoption;
Whereas the pilot actions constitute a coherent set of operations that are compatible with each other and with the regional development programmes; whereas they have intrinsic merits in the context of the Community's policies;
Whereas each pilot action is on a smaller scale than the operational plan of campaign for the integrated Mediterranean programmes;
Whereas the Italian Republic has proposed to the Commission that a pilot action be instituted in the area of Lake Trasimeno, region of Umbria, Italy, in preparation for the integrated Mediterranean programmes;
Whereas the pilot action in question concerns an area which exhibits development problems typical of those which the integrated Mediterranean programmes are intended to resolve;
Whereas, in order to ensure its effectiveness, the pilot action in question will be carried out in close cooperation with the national, regional and local authorities of the Member State concerned,
A pilot action is hereby instituted in the area of Lake Trasimeno, region of Umbria, Italy, in preparation for the integrated Mediterranean programmes. This pilot action is described in Annex 1.
The implementation of the pilot action shall be reviewed at regular intervals by the Commission in consultation with the Member State concerned so that it may be decided whether, and in which respects, the items set out in Annex 1 should be modified.
The pilot action shall be implemented by means of specific decisions by the Commission on individual operations forming constituent parts of the pilot action. The decisions shall describe the substance of the operations, shall fix the Community's contribution to the financing for each operation and shall define the procedures. The general conditions to be met for such specific decisions to be taken are set out in Annex 2.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas Article 5 of Annex I to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel provides for a tariff reduction for imports into the Community of certain citrus fruit originating in Israel ; whereas, during the period of application of reference prices, that reduction is dependent on the observance of a price on the Community market ; whereas detailed rules of application are required to put this system into practice;
Whereas the proposed system must be included in the framework of the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables ; whereas account should therefore be taken of the provisions of Regulation No 23 (1) on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2512/69 (2) and further provisions adopted in pursuance of that Regulation;
This Regulation fixes detailed rules for applying the preferential treatment laid down in Article 5 of Annex I to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel for the following products originating in Israel;
ex 08.02 A : Fresh oranges
ex 08.02 B : Fresh mandarins and satsumas ; fresh clementines, tangerines and other similar hybrid citrus fruit
ex 08.02 C : Fresh lemons.
1. In order that the conditions laid down in Article 5 (2) of Annex I to the Agreement referred to above, shall be fulfilled the quotations recorded at the importer/wholesaler stage on the representative Community markets, or converted to that stage, taking into account the conversion factors and after deduction of transport costs and import charges other than customs duties - the conversion factors, costs and charges being those laid down for calculating the entry price referred to in Regulation No 23 - must remain equal to or higher than the price laid down in Article 3 for a specific product, if necessary adjusted to quality Class I in accordance with the provisions of the first indent of the seventh subparagraph of Article 11 (2) of Regulation No 23.
2. For the deduction of import charges other than customs duties, insofar as the prices notified by Member States to the Commission include the incidence of those charges, the amount to be deducted shall be calculated by the Commission to avoid the difficulties which may result because of the incidence of those charges on entry prices depending on origin. In that case an average corresponding to the average between the lowest and the highest incidence shall be taken into account.
Detailed rules for applying this paragraph shall be fixed, where appropriate, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation No 23. (1)OJ No 30, 20.4.1962, p. 965/62. (2)OJ No L 318, 18.12.1969, p. 4.
3. The Community markets used for recording quotations on the basis of which the entry price referred to in Regulation No 23 is calculated, shall be considered as representative for the purpose of paragraph 1.
The price referred to in Article 2 (1) shall be equal to the reference price in force during the period in question, plus the incidence of the Common Customs Tariff on that price and a standard amount fixed at 1.2 units of account per 100 kg.
In cases where, in respect of one of the products listed in Article 1, the quotations referred to in Article 2 (1), adjusted by the conversion factors and after deduction of transport costs and import charges other than customs duties, remain lower than the price laid down in Article 3 for three consecutive market days on the representative markets of the Community with the lowest quotations, the Common Customs Tariff duty in force on the date of importation shall be applied to the product in question.
These rules shall remain in force until quotations are equal to or higher than the price laid down in Article 3 on three consecutive market days on the representative markets of the Community with the lowest quotations.
The Commission, on the basis of the quotations recorded on the representative Community markets and notified by Member States, shall keep a regular check on price trends and shall keep the records referred to in Article 4.
The necessary measures shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Regulation No 23 with regard to the application of countervailing duties to fruit and vegetables.
The provisions of Article 11 of Regulation No 23 shall remain in force.
The rules laid down by this Regulation shall apply from the entry into force of the Agreement referred to above and throughout its application.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 June 2008
concerning interim protective measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) in Portugal
(notified under document number C(2008) 3312)
(2008/489/EC)
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 16(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC of 13 February 2006 requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode — PWN) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur (2), Portugal is implementing an eradication plan against the dissemination of the pine wood nematode.
(2) Portugal has adopted a ministerial order (Portaria No 358/2008 of 12 May 2008) prohibiting movement of susceptible wood and plants out of continental Portugal unless the wood has been heat treated and the plants duly inspected.
(3) Portugal presented to the Commission a proposal for a survey plan, as provided for in the second paragraph of Article 4 of Decision 2006/133/EC, for the entire Portuguese territory. The proposal was discussed in the Standing Committee on Plant Health on 26 and 27 May 2008. However, the Commission, based on the conclusions of the Committee, did not approve the plan because of insufficient intensity of monitoring.
(4) Portugal informed the Commission on 5 June 2008 on the finding of new outbreaks of PWN, as a result of an extraordinary investigation by the Portuguese authorities in addition to the annual survey, in the part of Portugal where so far PWN was known not to occur.
(5) The inspection mission from the Food and Veterinary Office from 2 to 6 June 2008 revealed that the data available are not sufficient to confirm that there are areas in Portugal which are free from PWN. Moreover, the Community and national measures are not fully implemented.
(6) Therefore, the measures taken so far are considered to be inadequate and immediate risk of spread of PWN out of Portugal on account of movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants cannot be excluded any longer. Moreover, at present Member States other than Portugal should, as soon as possible, be allowed to control movements into their territory of susceptible wood, bark and plants originating in all parts of Portugal.
(7) As a consequence of the recent increase of the outbreaks of PWN in Portugal measures should be taken, as soon as possible, to safeguard the territory of other Member States against PWN and to protect the Community trade interests in relation to third countries. The movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants from Portugal to other Member States and third countries should be prohibited unless this material has undergone appropriate treatment or, for plants, appropriate inspection. Therefore, the requirements for movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants from demarcated areas into areas in Portugal, other than demarcated areas, or into other Member States should be extended to all movements from Portugal into other Member States and third countries. Traceability should be ensured by attaching the plant passport or the mark to each unit within a consignment. The scope of control activities carried out by Member States should be widened to allow control of susceptible wood, bark and plants moved from Portugal into their territory.
(8) Pending the meeting of the Standing Committee on Plant Health, interim protective measures should be taken to inhibit the spread of PWN from Portugal to other Member States and third countries.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision will be reviewed by the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Portugal shall ensure that the conditions set out in the Annex in relation to susceptible wood, bark and plants which are to be moved from its territory to other Member States or third countries are met.
2. Member States of destination other than Portugal may subject consignments of susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from Portugal and moved into their territory, to testing for the presence of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode — PWN).
3. This Decision is without prejudice to Decision 2006/133/EC.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 177 thereof,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) In the context of the negotiations of the Multiannual Financial Framework for the years 2014-2020, certain issues stemming from the final outcome of the negotiations should be addressed.
(2) At its meeting of 27 and 28 June 2013, the European Council considered that a budgetary solution should be found to address those issues for the Member States most affected, namely France, Italy and Spain.
(3) Having regard to the current economic crisis, in order to strengthen the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the Union, and as a contribution to the special effort needed to address the specific problems of unemployment, in particular youth unemployment, and of poverty and social exclusion in France, Italy and Spain, the European Social Fund (ESF) allocations to those Member States for the year 2013 should be increased.
(4) In order to establish the amounts to be allocated to the Member States concerned pursuant to Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (2), the provisions that set the overall resources of the Funds for the three objectives to which they contribute, and Annex II to that Regulation establishing the criteria and methodology that are used for the indicative annual breakdowns of commitment appropriations by Member States, should be adjusted.
(5) To ensure the effectiveness of the increase of commitment appropriations for the year 2013 and to facilitate the implementation of operational programmes, the absorption capacity of the Member States concerned in respect of the Convergence and the Regional competitiveness and employment objectives of the Funds should be taken into account.
(6) In order to provide for sufficient time for the operational programmes to benefit from additional ESF allocations, it is also necessary to extend the deadline for the budget commitments in respect of the operational programmes that are to benefit from the new amounts provided for in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006.
(7) Given that those commitment appropriations relate to the year 2013, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,

(2) According to Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession, Latvia is a Member State with a derogation as defined in Article 139(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(3) Pursuant to Council Decision 2013/387/EU of 9 July 2013 on the adoption by Latvia of the euro on 1 January 2014 (2), Latvia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro and the derogation in favour of Latvia is abrogated with effect from 1 January 2014.
(4) The introduction of the euro in Latvia requires the adoption of the conversion rate between the euro and the Latvian lats. This conversion rate should be set at 0,702804 lats per 1 euro, which corresponds to the current central rate of the lats in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II).
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2866/98 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2866/98, the following line is inserted between the conversion rates applicable to the Cyprus pound and the Luxembourg franc:
‘= 0,702804 Latvian lats’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 4 May 1976 regarding a Community procedure for information and consultation on the prices of crude oil and petroleum products in the Community (76/491/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the establishment of a common energy policy is one of the objectives which the Community has set itself, and it is the task of the Commission to propose measures for this purpose;
Whereas knowledge of supply and market conditions is one of the basic elements of such a common energy policy;
Whereas transparency of the costs and prices of petroleum products is a necessary condition for the satisfactory operation of the market, and particularly for the free movement of goods within the Community;
Whereas the Council, in paragraph 3 (III) of its resolution of 13 February 1975 concerning measures to be implemented to achieve the Community energy policy objectives adopted by the Council on 17 December 1974 (3), approved the principle of a consumer price policy based on transparency of the costs and prices of hydrocarbons;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to set up a Community procedure for information and consultation on the prices of crude oil and petroleum products;
Whereas the achievement of this objective requires the acquisition, at regular intervals, of certain information regarding the prices of crude oil and the principal petroleum products, at least in aggregate form at Member State level;
Whereas the information regarding the prices of crude oil and the principal petroleum products should be supplied by the oil undertakings, and the Member States should, by reference to objective criteria, designate the individuals and undertakings who will provide the Member States with such information;
Whereas within one year at most of the first application of this Directive consideration should be given to the advisability of the Member States' communicating to the Commission the information supplied to them by the undertakings; (1)OJ No C 28, 9.2.1976, p. 9. (2)OJ No C 50, 4.3.1976, p. 2. (3)OJ No C 153, 9.12.1975, p. 6.
Whereas the trends of oil costs and prices obtaining in the Community should be compared on the basis of the information collected;
Whereas, if this comparison is to take account of differences of structure between markets, it should cover price levels net and inclusive of duties and taxes for the principal petroleum products and ex-refinery realizations;
Whereas the trend, in each Member State and in the Community as a whole, in the average ex-refinery value per metric ton of crude oil processed should be analyzed on the basis of the information collected;
Whereas the information collected and the results of the study carried out by the Commission should be communicated at Community level to the Member States and be the subject of consultation between them and the Commission;
Whereas the information collected shall be confidential and the results of the study carried out by the Commission may be used only for the information of the Member States and for consultation between them and the Commission;
Whereas if the Commission finds anomalies or inconsistencies in the figures communicated to it, it should be able to obtain a breakdown of the requisite information supplied by the undertakings;
Whereas the Commission should be able to specify, where necessary, details such as the form and content of the communications to be made,
1.

| Council Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002
of 27 June 2002
establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of the other part(1), hereinafter referred to as the "Europe Agreement", provides for certain concessions for certain agricultural products originating in Estonia.
(2) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the existing preferential arrangements(2). The Council approved the abovementioned Protocol on behalf of the Community by Decision 1999/86/EC(3).
(3) Improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were also provided for, in the form of an autonomous and transitional measure pending a second adjustment of the relevant provisions of the Europe Agreement, as a result of a first round of negotiations to liberalise the agricultural trade. The improvements entered into force as from 1 July 2000 by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 of 19 June 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia(4). The second adjustment of the relevant provisions in the Europe Agreement - which will take the form of another Additional Protocol thereto - has not yet entered into force.
(4) A new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade liberalisation for agricultural products has been negotiated.
(5) A swift implementation of the adjustments forms an essential part of the results of the negotiations for the conclusion of a new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of the agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement.
(6) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(6) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Tariff quotas under this Regulation should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 has effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,
1. The arrangements for import into the Community applicable to certain agricultural products originating in Estonia as set out in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this Regulation shall replace those set out in Annex Va to the Europe Agreement.
2. On the entry into force of the Additional Protocol adjusting the Europe Agreement to take into account the outcome of the negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, the concessions provided for in that Protocol shall replace those referred to in Annex C(a) and Annex C(b) to this Regulation.
3. The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 3(2).
Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Management Committee for Cereals instituted by Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(7) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 2002.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular of the Article 36,
Whereas:
(1) The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups for the 2007/08 marketing year are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2007 (3). These prices and duties have been last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 445/2008 (4).

COUNCIL DECISION
of 18 February 2008
on the tests of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II)
(2008/173/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/886/JHA of 6 December 2001 on the development of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1), and in particular Article 4(c) and Article 6(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The development of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) has been entrusted to the Commission pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2424/2001 of 6 December 2001 on the development of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (2) and Decision 2001/886/JHA. The network requirements for SIS II development are established by Commission Decision 2007/170/EC of 16 March 2007 laying down the network requirements for the Schengen Information System II (first pillar) (3) and by Commission Decision 2007/171/EC of 16 March 2007 laying down the network requirements for the Schengen Information System II (third pillar) (4).
(2) The second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) was established by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and by Council Decision 2007/533/JHA (6) on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System. This Decision is without prejudice to those texts, including their final provisions.
(3) Those final provisions define the conditions that will allow the Council, acting by the unanimity of its Members representing the Governments of the Member States participating in SIS 1+, to fix the date of application of those texts. They provide, inter alia, that the Commission declares the successful completion of a comprehensive test of SIS II, as referred to in Article 55(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Article 71(3)(c) of Decision 2007/533/JHA, which shall be conducted by the Commission together with the Member States, and the preparatory bodies of the Council validate the proposed test result and confirm that the level of performance of SIS II is at least equivalent to that achieved with SIS 1+.
(4) It is understood that this Decision should be complemented by the adoption in the future of the appropriate legislation to regulate, in detail, the organisation and coordination of a SIS II comprehensive test, which should be executed in full cooperation between the Member States and the Commission. The CS-SIS should remain the sole responsibility of the Commission.
(5) It is necessary to conduct tests in order to assess whether SIS II can work in accordance with the technical and functional requirements as defined in the SIS II legal instruments.
(6) Tests should also assess non-functional requirements such as robustness, availability and performance.
(7) It is necessary for the Commission to test that the Central SIS II can be connected to the national systems of the Member States, whereas Member States participating in SIS 1+ should make the necessary technical arrangements to process SIS II data and exchange supplementary information.
(8) It is necessary to clarify further the tasks to be performed by the Commission and the Member States with regard to the completion of certain SIS II tests.
(9) It is necessary to set out the requirements for the definition, development and application of the test specifications and how the tests should be validated.
(10) SIS II can become operational only when all Member States fully participating in SIS 1+ have made the necessary arrangements to process SIS II data. Cases where a Member State considers that tests could not be successfully completed should therefore be documented.
(11) The Committee assisting the Commission during the development of SIS II, and referred to in Article 6 of Decision 2001/886/JHA, has not delivered a favourable opinion on the draft measures of the Commission. The Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken and informed the European Parliament in accordance with Article 6(5) of Decision 2001/886/JHA.
(12) The United Kingdom is taking part in this Decision, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and Article 8(2) of Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(7).
(13) Ireland is taking part in this Decision in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and Article 6(2) of Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(8).
(14) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
(9), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (10) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.
(15) As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the association of the Swiss Confederation with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
(11), which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decisions 2008/149/JHA (12) and 2008/146/EC (13) on the conclusion of that Agreement on behalf of the European Union and on behalf of the European Community,
The specifications relevant to certain SIS II tests related to the Central SIS II, the communication infrastructure and the interactions between Central SIS II and the national systems (N.SIS II), in particular their scope and objectives, their requirements and their process shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Decision shall take effect on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 20 December 2006
amending Council Directive 76/769/EEC as regards restrictions on the marketing and use of arsenic compounds for the purpose of adapting its Annex I to technical progress
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Members States relating to the restrictions on the marketing and use of dangerous substances and preparations (1), and in particular Article 2a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 76/769/EEC permits the use of certain arsenic compounds as biocides for the treatment of wood and lays down rules for the marketing and use of arsenic treated wood.
(2) The marketing and use of biocidal products are also regulated by Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2). The effect of Directive 98/8/EC read in conjunction with Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 of 4 November 2003 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market and amending Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 (3), is that from 1 September 2006 the placing on the market and the use of biocidal products containing arsenic and arsenic compounds for wood preservation purposes is not possible unless those substances are authorised in accordance with Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) In order to ensure a coherent application of the legislation in question, it is therefore necessary to adapt the rules concerning biocidal products containing arsenic compounds in Directive 76/769/EEC to the rules in Directive 98/8/EC.
(4) The rules concerning wood treated with arsenic compounds in Directive 76/769/EEC do not adequately distinguish between the first placing on the market and the reuse of such wood. It is therefore necessary to clarify those rules and in particular the placing of such wood on the second hand market.
(5) Directive 76/769/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the elimination of technical barriers to trade in dangerous substances and preparations,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2007 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 by 30 September 2007 at the latest.
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 day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1408/2004
of 2 August 2004
initiating a ‘new exporter’ review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2605/2000 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain electronic weighing scales (REWS) originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China, repealing the duty with regard to imports from two exporters in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (1) of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation) and in particular Article 11(4),
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUESTS FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by two related companies, Shanghai Excell M & E Enterprise Co., Ltd and Shanghai Adeptech Precision Co., Ltd (the applicant). The applicant is an exporting producer in the People's Republic of China (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is electronic weighing scales having a maximum weighing capacity not exceeding 30 kg, 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) originating in the country concerned (the product concerned), normally declared within CN code 8423 81 50. This CN code is given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2605/2000 (2) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China, and produced by the applicant, are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties of 30,7 % with the exception of several companies expressly mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the investigation leading to the anti-dumping measures was based, i.e. the period from 1 September 1998 to 31 August 1999 (the original investigation period) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product concerned which are subject to the abovementioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that it has begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively whether the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and, if so, the applicant’s individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(a) Questionnaires
(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the applicant.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(9) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Market economy status
(10) In the event that the applicant provides sufficient evidence that it operates under market economy conditions, i.e. that it meets the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, normal value will be determined in accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation. For this purpose, duly substantiated claims must be submitted within the specific time limit set in Article 4(3) of this Regulation. The Commission will send claim forms to the applicant, as well as to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China.
(d) Selection of the market economy country
(11) In the event that the applicant is not granted market economy status but fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation, an appropriate market economy country will be used for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation. The Commission envisages using Indonesia again for this purpose as was done in the investigation which led to the imposition of measures on imports of the product concerned from the People’s Republic of China. Interested parties are hereby invited to comment on the appropriateness of this choice within the specific time limit set in Article 4(2) of this Regulation.
(12) Furthermore, in the event that the applicant is granted market economy status, the Commission may, if necessary, also use findings concerning the normal value established in an appropriate market-economy country, e.g. for the purpose of replacing any unreliable cost or price elements in the People’s Republic of China which are needed in establishing the normal value, if reliable required data are not available in the People’s Republic of China. The Commission envisages using Indonesia also for this purpose.
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(13) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duties in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a determination of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(14) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital (8) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission,
— interested parties may comment on the appropriateness of Indonesia which, in the event that the applicant will not be granted market economy status, is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China,
— the applicant should submit duly substantiated claims for market economy status.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(15) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(16) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate, or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated,
A review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2605/2000 is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 11(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 in order to determine if and to what extent the imports of electronic weighing scales having a maximum weighing capacity not exceeding 30 kg, 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) falling within CN code ex 8423 81 50 (TARIC code 8423815010) originating in the People's Republic of China, produced by Shanghai Excell M & E Enterprise Co., Ltd and Shanghai Adeptech Precision Co., Ltd should be subject to the anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2605/2000.
The anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2605/2000 are hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of the present Regulation (TARIC additional code A561).
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
1. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information, unless otherwise specified, within 40 days of the entry into force of this Regulation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 depends on the party’s making itself known within the aforementioned period.
Interested parties may also apply in writing to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.
2. Parties to the investigation may wish to comment on the appropriateness of Indonesia which is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China. These comments must reach the Commission within 10 days of the entry into force of this Regulation.
3. Duly substantiated claims for market economy status must reach the Commission within 15 days of the entry into force of this Regulation.
4. All submissions and requests made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax, and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited (3)’ and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘FOR INSPECTION BY INTERESTED PARTIES’.

(2) The export licence applications for certain quotas and product groups exceed the quantities available for the 2012 quota year. Allocation coefficients should therefore be established.
(3) In the case of product groups and quotas for which the applications lodged are for quantities smaller than those available, it is appropriate to provide for the allocation of the remaining quantities to the applicants in proportion to the quantities applied for. The allocation of such further quantities should be conditional upon the competent authority being notified of the quantities accepted by the operator concerned and upon the interested operators lodging a security.
(4) Given the time limit for implementing the procedure for determining those coefficients, as provided for in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 789/2011, this Regulation should apply as soon as possible,
Applications for export licences lodged under Implementing Regulation (EU) No 789/2011 in respect of the product groups and quotas identified by 16-Tokyo, 16-, 17-, 18-, 20- and 21-Uruguay, and 22-Tokyo in column 3 of the Annex to this Regulation shall be accepted, subject to the application of the allocation coefficients laid down in column 5 of that Annex.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community supplies of certain species of fish or fish fillets currently depend on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend partially the customs duties for the products in question, within Community tariff quotas of an appropriate volume; whereas, in order not to jeopardize the development prospects of this production in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to open these quotas for the period from 1 April to 31 December 1993 applying customs duties varied accordingly to sensitivity of the different products on the Community market;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the tariff quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
1. From 1 April to 31 December 1993 the customs duties applicable on importation to products listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas indicated for each product.
2. Imports of the products in question shall not be covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier price, which is determined by the Member States in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 of 28 November 1991 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be fixed, by the Community for the products under consideration of the categories of the products concerned.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State an entry for release for free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this entry for release is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the corresponding quota amount.
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said entries, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the entries for release for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and uninterrupted access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1993. 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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. That coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question. In view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 1999, the average ageing period in 1999 was five years for Irish whiskey. The coefficients for the period 1 July 1999 to 30 September 2001 should be fixed.

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) 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.
(2) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) expressed its opinion on the safety of Polyglycitol syrup by considering the specifications proposed by the applicant on 24 November 2009 as a food additive (4). That food additive has subsequently been authorised on the basis of specific uses and has been allocated the number E 964 by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1049/2012 of 8 November 2012 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the use of polyglycitol syrup in several food categories (5).

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 92/14/EEC of 2 March 1992 on the limitation of the operation of aeroplanes covered by Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988) (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) The application of noise emission standards to civil subsonic jet aeroplanes has significant consequences for the provision of air transport services, in particular where such standards limit the useful life of aeroplanes operated by airlines.
(3) Council Directive 89/629/EEC of 4 December 1989 on the limitation of noise emission from civil subsonic jet aeroplanes (5) limits the addition to the civil air registers of Member States of aeroplanes that comply only with the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988). That Directive specifies that the limitation on addition is only a first stage.
(4) Owing to the problem of growing congestion at Community airports, it is essential to ensure that the best use is made of existing facilities. This will only be possible if environmentally acceptable aeroplanes are used.
(5) The work undertaken by the Community in cooperation with other international bodies indicates that measures to limit the operation of aeroplanes which do not comply with the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16 must follow any non-addition rule in order for this to be of environmental benefit.
(6) Common rules for this purpose should be introduced on a reasonable time-scale to ensure a harmonised approach throughout the Community, supplementing existing rules. This is particularly important in view of the recent trend towards progressive liberalisation of European air traffic.
(7) Aeroplane noise should be reduced, taking into account environmental factors, technical feasibility and economic consequences.
(8) It is appropriate to regulate the operation of civil subsonic jet aeroplanes which appear on Member States' registers and comply with the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16.
(9) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the national provisions adopted pursuant to this Directive. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
(10) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,
1. The objective of this Directive is to regulate the operation of civil subsonic jet aeroplanes as specified in Article 2.
2. This Directive shall apply to aeroplanes with a maximum take-off mass of 34 000 kg or more or with a certified maximum internal accommodation for the aeroplane type in question consisting of more than nineteen passenger seats, excluding any seats for crew only.
1. Member States shall ensure that all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes operating from airports situated in their territory comply with the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 3, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988).
2. The territory referred to in paragraph 1 shall not include the overseas departments referred to in Article 299(2) of the Treaty.
1. Member States may grant exemptions from Article 2 for aeroplanes of historical interest.
2. Any Member State granting exemptions under paragraph 1 shall inform the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission of the fact and of the grounds for its decision.
3. Every Member State shall recognise the exemptions granted by another Member State in respect of aeroplanes entered on the registers of the latter.
4. In individual cases, Member States may permit the temporary use, at airports situated in their territory, of aeroplanes which cannot be operated on the basis of the other provisions of this Directive. This exemption should be limited to:
(a) aeroplanes whose operations are of such an exceptional nature that it would be unreasonable to withhold a temporary exemption;
(b) aeroplanes on non-revenue flights for the purposes of alterations, repair or maintenance.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the national provisions adopted pursuant to this Directive and shall take all measures necessary to ensure that those rules are implemented . The penalties provided for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. The Member States shall notify those provisions to the Commission and shall notify it without delay of any subsequent amendment affecting them.
1. Directive 92/14/EEC is hereby repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B.
2. References made to the repealed Directive shall be construed as being made to this Directive and should be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 25 September 1995 concerning the list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Finland) (95/412/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas a significant proportion of the territory of the acceding Member States suffers from permanent natural handicaps; whereas Declaration No 37 of the 1994 Act of Accession recognizes that the boundaries of the mountain and other less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 75/268/EEC should be established without delay;
Whereas the permanent natural handicaps in these areas result in higher production costs and prevent farmers in these areas from obtaining a reasonable income from their production at a level similar to that available to comparable farmers in other regions;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Finnish Government has sent the Commission a list of municipalities (Kunta-Kommun) likely to appear on the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, together with the information relating to the characteristics of those areas;
Whereas the areas situated north of the 62nd parallel and certain adjacent areas are to be included among the areas defined in the first subparagraph of Article 3 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC in so far as they are affected by very difficult climatic conditions the effect of which is substantially to shorten the growing season;
Whereas the difficult climatic conditions are assessed on the basis of 'the sum of the effective average temperatures`; whereas the conditions set out in Article 3 (2) of Directive 75/268/EEC are met in respect of a value not exceeding 89 % of the value recorded in Helsinki;
Whereas the information available shows that all the areas situated north of the 62nd parallel are affected by difficult climatic conditions and satisfy the abovementioned conditions;
Whereas in cases involving the presence of infertile land and where the economic results of farming are appreciably lower than the average, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (a) and (b) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the areas have been defined by using an agricultural comparability index known as the 'Nikula index` and notably the 'potential natural yield` index; whereas this index is based on natural productivity (soil quality and climatic conditions) the value of which is adjusted using factors such as heterogeneity of the land, natural drainage conditions, etc., including production conditions other than natural ones;
Whereas, in view of Declaration No 37 referred to above and the maximum value of the index in Finland (460), the maximum value of the index taken into account for the less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) has been fixed at 440; whereas, in specific cases, this index is not taken into account for the less-favoured farming areas where permanent grassland and pasture cover more than 70 % of the utilized agricultural area;
Whereas the following indices have been chosen in respect of low or dwindling population as referred to in Article 3 (4) (c) of Directive 75/268/EEC: density of not more than 50 inhabitants per km2 (of permanent land), without reference to the national average density which is only 17 inhabitants per km2, or an annual depopulation rate exceeding 0,5 %, with the working population engaged in farming forming a significant proportion of the total working population of the municipality;
Whereas, for the definition of the areas affected by specific handicap which may be included among the less-favoured areas referred to Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC the index used is the occurrence of unfavourable natural conditions (index below 450) and of specific permanent handicaps characteristic of:
- a humid and marshy area,
- an area affected by a poor ground water balance,
- an area affected by low temperatures on account of its relatively northern geographical position,
- an urbanized area with a population density exceeding 50 inhabitants per km2;
Whereas, in view of the specific geographical situation unfavourably affecting the economy of their agricultural holdings, all the offshore islands of Finland, all the islands of the Aaland archipelago and of the Laani of Kymi may be included among the less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the total surface areas of the areas taken into account pursuant to Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC amounts to, but does not exceed, 4 % of the total surface area of the Member State;
Whereas the nature and level of the above indices selected by the Finnish Government for identifying the types of areas notified to the Commission are in conformity with the characteristics of mountain areas, less-favoured areas and areas affected by specific handicaps respectively, as referred to in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas a limited number of the minicipalities proposed do not fully satisfy the requirements, but nevertheless fully satisfy those of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC; whereas, since their economy is closely linked to that of the bordering municipalities classified in accordance with Article 3 and their territorial enclaves within these latter municipalities are far smaller than the minicipalities themselves, these municipalities may nevertheless be classified among the less-favoured areas, with due regard for both the 4 % referred to above for the application of areas as referred to in Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC and for the 85 % specified in the abovementioned Declaration No 37;
Whereas the classification according to paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Article 3 of Directive 75/268/EEC of the eligible minicipalities set out in the Annex to this Directive can subsequently be reviewed at the request of Finland and will, after examination, be the subject of a Commission decision pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC,
The areas situated in the Republic of Finland which appear in Annexes I, II and III shall form part of the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC.

Whereas:
(1) On 13 December 2013 the Council adopted Decision 2013/760/CFSP (2) amending Decision 2013/255/CFSP.
(2) Derogation from the prohibition of financing and financial assistance relating to certain goods and technology should be provided with regard to activities undertaken by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in accordance with paragraph 10 of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 2118(2013).
(3) In order to facilitate the safe return to their legitimate owners of goods constituting Syrian cultural heritage which have been illegally removed from Syria, it is necessary to provide for additional restrictive measures in order to prohibit the import, export or transfer of such goods.
(4) Derogation from the freezing of funds or economic resources necessary for humanitarian assistance should only be granted if funds or economic resources are released to the UN for the purpose of delivering such assistance in accordance with the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP). When considering requests for authorisation, competent authorities should take into account the humanitarian principles of humanity, neturality, impartiality and independence as set out in the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid.
(5) It is necessary to provide for an additional derogation from the asset freeze and the prohibition of making funds or economic resources available in order to allow transfers by a non-designated person or entity to a non-designated person or entity, through a designated entity, in connection with a specific trade contract for medical supplies, food, shelter, sanitation or hygiene for civilian use.
(6) The abovementioned measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.
(7) Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) In Article 2a, the following paragraph is inserted:
(2) in Article 3, the following paragraph is inserted:
(3) the following Article is inserted:

(5) in the first paragraph of Article 16, point (f) is replaced by the following:
"(f) necessary for humanitarian purposes, such as delivering or facilitating the delivery of assistance, including medical supplies, food, humanitarian workers and related assistance, and provided that, in the case of release of frozen funds or economic resources, the funds or economic resources are released to the UN for the purpose of delivering or facilitating the delivery of assistance in Syria in accordance with the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan (SHARP);";
(6) in the first paragraph of Article 16, the following point is added:
"(h) necessary for evacuations from Syria.";
(7) the following Article is inserted:
(8) the following Article is inserted:
(a) a transfer by or through the Commercial Bank of Syria of funds or economic resources received from outside of the territory of the Union and frozen after the date of its designation where the transfer is related to a payment due in connection with a specific trade contract for medical supplies, food, shelter, sanitation or hygiene for civilian use; or
(b) a transfer of funds or economic resources from outside of the territory of the Union to or through the Commercial Bank of Syria where the transfer is related to a payment due in connection with a specific trade contract for the purpose of meeting essential civilian needs, including medical supplies, food, shelter, sanitation or hygiene for civilian use;

Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 25,928/100 kg.

Whereas:
(1) Article 35(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and the specific aid to be granted to producer groups in the raw tobacco sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1005/2002(4), provides, as part of the quota buy-back procedure, for a period running from 1 September to 31 December during which the Member State makes public producers' intentions to sell their quotas, so that other producers might buy them before they are permanently bought back.
(2) Experience has shown that this four-month period is too long and so should be halved, thereby speeding up the buy-back procedure and making it more attractive to the producers, since the period of uncertainty regarding the conclusion of the sales procedure is also thus shortened.
(3) As the period to be amended begins on 1 September, this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 is hereby amended as follows:

of 30 July 2001
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards marketing sugar produced in the French overseas departments and equalising the price conditions with preferential raw sugar
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides for flat-rate Community aid for sugar produced in the French overseas departments to be marketed in the European regions of the Community. The aid is for raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments to be refined in a refinery situated in the European regions of the Community and to be transported to the European regions of the Community or, where necessary, to be stored in those departments.
(2) The aid for refining in Community refineries is intended to provide those refineries with sugar produced in the French overseas departments at the same price as preferential sugar.
(3) The sea transport costs depend principally on the size of the vessels, which in turn is determined by the depth of water in the ports of loading in the French overseas departments. Experience has shown that precisely on account of the specific features of ports, sugar is frequently transported from some of these departments to the Community in vessels with a net registered tonnage of less than 20000 tonnes, whereas the Caribbean-United Kingdom freight element is established on the basis of vessels with a net registered tonnage of between 25000 tonnes and 30000 tonnes. The freight costs borne by operators may therefore be disproportionate to the freight element established on a flat-rate basis. The detailed rules for applying the flat rate amount should therefore provide for the possibility of adjusting the Caribbean-United Kingdom freight element when the size of the vessels used so warrants.
(4) Article 5(4) of Protocol 3 on ACP sugar appearing in the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(2) stipulates that the guaranteed price refers to unpacked sugar, cif European ports of the Community, fixed for standard quality sugar. When the yield of preferential sugar differs from the yield of standard quality, the scale of increases applied is that practised in international trade, which differs from the scale provided for the same purpose under Community rules for raw sugar produced in the Community. To equalise the price conditions between the two types of raw sugar, the difference resulting from applying one or other of the two scales should be offset by a specific transaction in favour of refiners of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments.
(5) Aid for refining is warranted only for such quantities of raw sugar originating in the French overseas departments as can be refined into white sugar in the European regions of the Community, taking account of available supplies of such sugar as regularly established in a Community supply balance for raw sugar.
(6) Since the producers of this sugar do not have large storage facilities in their factories, all the sugar intended for disposal to refineries in the Communities is sent directly after production for storage in port silos. These producers must therefore advance the cost of transporting the sugar from the factory to the port of loading. In recent years, the irregularity of consignments has increased the duration of this advance as the sugar has spent longer in storage in port silos, thereby increasing the burden on the producers concerned. It is therefore justifiable to grant an advance on the final payment of the aid equal to the amount of the fob component of the aid. In order to receive the advance applicants should be required to lodge a security, and the other conditions to be fulfilled in order for the advance to be paid, in particular the quantities of sugar concerned, should be laid down.
(7) Detailed rules for determining weights and sugar yields should be laid down, particularly where products of this kind are transported in bulk in the same vessel but on behalf of several producers.
(8) In general, a considerable period elapses between the date on which the sugar concerned is loaded and that on which the arrival formalities are completed enabling the competent agency to pay the aid. Provision should therefore be made for advance payments.
(9) Adequate measures should be laid down for checks on refined sugar, and refining should be defined for that purpose.
(10) The detailed rules laid down in this Regulation replace those in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2750/86 of 3 September 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 3016/78(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 350/1999(4). That Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(11) These measures should apply from the start of the 2001/02 marketing year.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Flat-rate Community aid shall be granted as an intervention measure for sugar produced in the French overseas departments to be marketed in the European regions of the Community.
1. On application to the competent French authorities, producers of the sugar referred to in Article 1 and delivered to European ports in the Community shall be granted aid for the 2001/02 marketing year made up of the following components:
(a) a flat-rate amount per tonne of sugar expressed as white sugar to cover the transport costs from the ex-factory stage to the fob port stage, fixed at:
- EUR 17 per tonne for Reunion and Martinique,
- EUR 24 per tonne for Guadeloupe;
(b) a uniform flat-rate amount to cover the sea transport costs from the fob port in overseas department stage to the cif European ports in the Community stage and the connected insurance costs;
(c) a flat-rate amount per 100 kilograms of raw sugar expressed as white sugar held in storage by producers at the end of each month, fixed at EUR 0,33 per month.
2. This flat-rate amount referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall be based on the Caribbean-United Kingdom freight element as established by the Freight Committee of the United Terminal Sugar Market Association of London and incorporated in the London daily price for sugar valid on the date on which the bill of lading for the sugar concerned is drawn up.
The amount shall be converted into euro at the conversion rate used to determine the cif price and shall be adjusted on a flat-rate basis to take account in the insurance costs of the difference between the value of the sugar on the world market and its value in the Community. The amount shall then be multiplied by a coefficient equal to 1,00 divided by the yield of the sugar concerned.
The adjusted amount shall be determined by the Commission and notified to the competent French authorities.
3. The competent French authorities may adjust the amount referred to in paragraph 1(b) on a flat-rate basis, where the actual transport costs borne by the producer exceed that amount because the vessels used have a net registered tonnage of less than 20000 tonnes.
The adjustment for each month and each geographical area (Antilles/Reunion) shall be equivalent to an amount not exceeding the average difference recorded for bulk transport during the 12 months preceding the month of departure of the sugar from the ports in the French overseas departments between the actual freight costs for vessels with a net registered tonnage of less than 20000 tonnes, established on the basis of bills of lading, and the Caribbean-to-United Kingdom freight element referred to in paragraph 1(b).
The adjustment may be increased by no more than 25 % where the vessels used have a net registered tonnage of less than 7000 tonnes because of port conditions.
The competent French authorities shall notify the Commission immediately of the adjustments made, specifying in particular the number of vessels and the amounts concerned, and shall forward the relevant supporting documents.
1. The aid referred to in Article 2 shall apply to the accepted arrival weight expressed as white sugar in accordance with the yield formula referred to in Article 4.
Where transport in bulk does not permit individual lots to be identified, the average yield of the whole cargo shall be applied to all the sugar concerned.
2. The aid referred to in Article 2 shall be paid on presentation, by the producer concerned, of:
(a) any proof recognised by the Member State concerned that the sugar concerned has entered the European regions of the Community, and
(b) the bill of lading, the analysis results and the definitive invoice.
The analyses shall be carried out at the unloading stage by lots of 250 tonnes on the whole cargo by a laboratory approved by the Member State into whose torritory the sugar has been introduced.
3. A payment in advance may be made equal to 90 % of the amount determined on the basis of the weight as stated in the provisional invoice and expressed as white sugar on the basis of a flat-rate yield of 96 %.
Applications for payment in advance shall be made by the producers concerned and shall be accompanied by the bill of lading and the provisional invoice.
4. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, an initial advance payment may be made equal to the component of the aid referred to Article 2(1)(a), on application by the producer or producers of the raw sugar concerned. This initial advance shall be treated as a down payment on the advance provided for in paragraph 3.
The first advance on payment shall be calculated on the basis of the weight recorded in the silo at the port of loading by the competent French authorities or persons acting under their responsibility, and expressed as white sugar on the basis of a flat-rate yield of 96 %.
At the time of submission of applications as referred to in the first subparagraph, a security shall be lodged corresponding to the amount of the advance requested. The security shall be released for the quantities for which the final payment of the total aid referred to in Article 2(1)(a) and (b) is made in accordance with paragraph 1.
The applicant shall have the choice of providing the security in cash or in the form of a guarantee by an institution meeting the criteria laid down by France.
The part of the security or the security which is not released shall be forfeit for the quantity of sugar for which the corresponding obligations have not been fulfilled.
1. In the case of sugar as referred to in Article 1 which has been refined in a refinery in the European regions of the Community, aid shall be granted to the refineries concerned for every tenth of a percent of yield in excess of 92 %, of an amount equal to 0,0387 % of the intervention price for raw sugar for the marketing year during which refining takes place.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply up to a ceiling in quantity to be determined according to the regions in the Community where refining may be carried out.
The quantities referred to in the first subparagraph shall be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 42(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 on the basis of a Community supply balance for raw sugar and for the refining of such sugar in the European regions of the Community concerned.
3. The total amount of the aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be granted on application by the undertakings which have refined the sugar concerned to the competent authorities of the Member State in whose territory the refining took place.
Applications for the aid referred to in Article 4 shall be accompanied by proof acceptable to the Member State concerned that the refined sugar was obtained from raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments. For this purpose, and at the request of the interested party concerned, the raw sugar concerned shall be placed under customs control or under another administrative control offering the same guarantees.
For the purpose of granting this aid "refining" means the conversion of raw sugar as defined in Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 into white sugar as defined in Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation.
The Member States concerned shall notify the Commission, for each month, and within two months following the month concerned, of the quantities, expressed as white sugar, for which aid has been granted under Articles 2 and 4, respectively, and the amounts of aid corresponding to those quantities.
Regulation (EEC) No 2750/86 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 2001.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3915/92 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,
In the table which appears in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3915/92, the quota volume of 600 000 tonnes opposite order No 09.0015 shall be replaced by that of 630 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that 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 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 June 2002.

Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 12 October 2004 the company Teriaka Ltd. Paulig Group made a request to the competent authorities of Finland to place rice drinks with added phytosterols on the market as a novel food or novel food ingredient.
(2) On 12 January 2005 the competent food assessment body of Finland issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the rice drinks with added phytosterols are safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 31 January 2005.
(4) Within the sixty day-period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) Therefore the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 28 October 2005.
(6) On 15 February 2006 EFSA adopted the ‘Statement of the Scientific Panel on dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on a request from the Commission related to a novel food application on rice drinks with added phytosterols’.
(7) In the statement the panel came to the conclusion that there is no reason to believe that the introduction of rice drinks with added phytosterols/phytostanols will increase the risk of overconsumption of phytosterols.
(8) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that rice drinks with added phytosterols/phytostanols comply with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9) Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 of 31 March 2004 concerning the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters (2) ensures that consumers receive the information necessary in order to avoid excessive intake of additional phytosterols.
(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,
Rice drinks with added phytosterols/phytostanols as specified in the Annex may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food.
1. Rice drinks referred to in Article 1 shall be presented in such a manner that they can be easily divided into portions that contain either a maximum of 3 g (in case of 1 portion/day) or a maximum of 1 g (in case of 3 portions/day) of added phytosterols/phytostanols.
2. The amount of phytosterols/phytostanols added to a container of rice drinks shall not exceed 3 g.
This Decision is addressed to Teriaka Ltd., Siirakuja 3, 01490 Vantaa, Finland. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, in view of the persistence of classical swine fever in the Netherlands, it does not seem possible to end the exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Belgium in the near future; whereas, therefore, the minimum weight for eligible fattened pigs should be reduced so as to reduce expenditure on that measure and the number of pigs to be processed in rendering plants;

of 30 May 2001
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation 1527/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 May 2001.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 30 March 2009
extending the limited Community recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping (HRS)
(notified under document number C(2009) 2130)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(2009/354/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organizations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the letter of 6 June 2008 from the Greek authorities, requesting the extension of the limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping (HRS) pursuant to Article 4(3) of Directive 94/57/EC,
Having regard to the letters of 28 January and 12 February 2009 from the Greek authorities, confirming their abovementioned request,
Whereas:
(1) Limited recognition under Article 4(2) of Directive 94/57/EC is a recognition granted to organisations known as classification societies, which fulfil all criteria other than those set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ‘General’ section A of the Annex thereto, but limited in time and scope in order for the organisation concerned to gain further experience.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(3) of Directive 94/57/EC, a decision on the extension of such recognition shall not take into account the criteria set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of section A of the Annex but shall take into account the safety and pollution prevention performance records of the organisation, referred to in Article 9(2) of the said Directive. Any decision on the extension of the limited recognition shall specify under which conditions, if any, such extension is granted.
(3) At the request of the Greek authorities, the Commission granted the Hellenic Register of Shipping a limited recognition for a period of three years by Decision 98/295/EC (2) of 22 April 1998; the effects of this recognition were limited to Greece. Upon expiry of the recognition, a new limited recognition was granted by Commission Decision 2001/890/EC (3), for a second period of three years and again with effects limited to Greece, at the request of the Greek authorities. The organisation’s recognition was extended by Commission Decision 2005/623/EC (4) of 3 August 2005 for a third period of three years with effects limited to Greece and Cyprus, at the request of the Greek and Cypriot authorities. At the request of the Maltese authorities, the recognition was subsequently extended to Malta in 2006 by Commission Decision 2006/382/EC (5) of 22 May 2006 with the same expiry date.
(4) The limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping expired on 3 August 2008.
(5) The Commission assessed the Hellenic Register of Shipping in accordance with Article 11(3) of Directive 94/57/EC. The assessment was based on the results of four fact-finding inspections performed in 2006 and 2007 by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency (hereinafter EMSA) in accordance with Article 2(b)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). The Cypriot, Greek and Maltese administrations were invited to take part in the assessment; as a result, these administrations took part in the inspection of the organisation’s head office in September 2006.
(6) After having taken into account the organisation’s observations, the assessment confirmed a significant number of items of non-conformity with the criteria laid down in Directive 94/57/EC which seriously affected the organisation’s main systems and control mechanisms. These conclusions were communicated to the three administrations concerned, who formulated no observations from their side, and to the organisation.
(7) Following communication of these conclusions, the Hellenic Register of Shipping put in place a corrective action plan.
(8) At the request of the Greek authorities, a new assessment of the organisation has been carried out on the basis of two fact-finding inspections carried out by EMSA between 12 and 20 November 2008.
(9) While this reassessment of the organisation has shown limited improvement, it has only been possible for the Commission to lift one item of non-conformity among those previously identified. Serious shortcomings thus remain as regards, inter alia, the quality and maintenance of the organisation’s rules, the organisation’s systems for the training and monitoring of surveyors, the respect for both statutory requirements and the requirements in the organisation’s own rules and procedures, the acceptance of new ships onto the organisation’s register, the use of non-exclusive surveyors; and the measures taken following the detention of ships by the port State control authorities for reasons connected with the certificates delivered to those ships by the organisation. The reassessment of the Hellenic Register of Shipping has not allowed the Commission to establish that the organisation has until now identified and addressed the fundamental causes of the shortcomings found in the previous assessment, including their recurrence; and evaluated and addressed the safety risk incurred by its registered fleet as a result of these shortcomings.
(10) In the absence of Community recognition, the Member States are prevented from delegating ship survey and certification tasks under the international conventions to the Hellenic Register of Shipping in accordance with Article 3(2) of Directive 94/57/EC, while classification of a ship by the Hellenic Register of Shipping no longer fulfils the requirements of Article 14(1) of that Directive. The Member States are also prevented from authorising the Hellenic Register of Shipping to perform surveys in accordance with Article 10(5) of Council Directive 98/18/EC of 17 March 1998 on safety rules and standards for passenger ships (7), while classification of a ship by HRS no longer fulfils the requirements of Article 6(1)(a) of the said Directive.
(11) The Greek authorities have shown that the public domestic passenger transport service by sea in Greece is largely dependent upon ships bearing class certificates delivered by the Hellenic Register of Shipping, and that this organisation has until now surveyed these ships on behalf of the Greek administration. Loss of recognition by the Hellenic Register of Shipping would therefore force the fleet concerned, as the certificates previously delivered by the Hellenic Register of Shipping come to their expiry date, to seek classification with other recognised organisations while, at the same time, their survey under Directive 98/18/EC should be transferred to either these organisations or the Greek administration itself. The Greek authorities have shown that, given its extreme complexity and the high number of ships potentially concerned, this process could only be completed over a significant length of time, spanning several months, during which the ships concerned might remain uninspected and eventually be forced to suspend their trade. This situation would entail the risk of a collapse of a vital public service and constitute an immediate and serious threat to both the safety and the economic viability of the fleet concerned.
(12) In order to prevent such a situation from occurring, it is necessary to reinstate the recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping under prudent structural and operational conditions, so as to ensure that the organisation can continue to provide classification and survey services to the fleet serving domestic passenger transport services in Greece safely and in full compliance with the requirements of Directive 94/57/EC. This recognition should be granted for a limited period of time, so that the fleet concerned and the Greek authorities can make the necessary preparatory arrangements in case the organisation’s recognition could no longer be extended at the end of this period.
(13) It is necessary to ensure that the risks incurred as a result of the shortcomings are identified and appropriately addressed including, as necessary, re-inspection of the ships concerned. Attention should be paid to ships under Greek flag engaged in international trade, which, in accordance with Article 3 of Directive 94/57/EC, may benefit from the extension of the organisation’s recognition.
(14) The Greek authorities have committed to intensifying unscheduled inspections and audits of vessels flying the Greek flag and engaged in domestic voyages in Greece, classed and certified by the Hellenic Register of Shipping, and to conduct these inspections rigorously. These inspections shall take place at least once every three months for all ships concerned, excluding idle periods.
(15) Based on the data last published by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, which concern the inspections carried out by the signatory parties in 2007, the rate of detention of ships for reasons relating to the certificates delivered to them by the Hellenic Register of Shipping remained at 1,88 % of the total number of inspections, while the average rate for recognised organisations was 0,35 %.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the COSS Committee set up by Article 7 of Directive 94/57/EC,
The Community recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping is extended for a period of 17 months as from the date of adoption of this Decision, subject to the conditions set out in the Annex.
The effects of this Decision are limited to Greece.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas measures for the progressive establishment of the internal market should be adopted over a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;
Whereas Directive 76/769/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 91/338/EEC (5), imposes, in its version as amended by Directive 85/467/EEC (6), severe restrictions on the marketing and use of PCBs and PCTs as a consequence of the risks to man and the environment;
Whereas several substitutes have been developed to replace PCBs; whereas some of these substitutes, though less dangerous to man and the environment than PCBs and PCTs, nevertheless constitute a potentially high risk to man and the environment;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to restrict the marketing and use of these substitutes;
Whereas the substance bearing the trade name Ugilec 141 has been on the market since 1981; whereas this substance or preparations containing this substance are currently used as a dielectric fluid in condensers and transformers and as a hydraulic fluid in coal mines; whereas it is recognized that this substance is less dangerous to man and the environment than the PCBs it was designed to replace;
Whereas by virtue of its ecotoxcity, persistence and potential to bioaccumulate, this substance nevertheless constitutes a high risk to the environment; whereas significant environmental contamination has already been documented in the vicinity of mining operations using this substance as a hydraulic fluid; whereas in the event of a fire involving any equipment containing this substance highly toxic substances may be given off; whereas final disposal of Ugilec 141 requires special procedures;
Whereas the substance bearing the trade name Ugilec 121 or Ugilec 21, being a new substance, was notified on 15 March 1984, in accordance with Council Directive 79/831/EEC of 18 September 1979 amending for the sixth time Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (7) and can therefore be marketed throughout the Community; whereas this substance has similar properties and behaviour and was intended for uses similar to that Ugilec 141; whereas the manufacturer has subsequently withdrawn the substance Ugilec 121 or 21 voluntarily from the market; whereas restrictive measures are necessary to ensure that the preparations or products containing the said substance are not re-introduced on the market at a future date;
Whereas the substance bearing the trade name DBBT, being also a new substance, was notified in accordance with Directive 79/831/EEC on 16 February 1988 and can therefore be marketed throughout the Community; whereas the intended use of this substance either on its own or in preparations is as a hydraulic fluid in coal mines; whereas in the meantime a temporary official authorization granted in one Member State has expired; whereas such usage can be expected to result in significant environmental contamination; whereas by virtue of its ecotoxicity, persistence and potential to bioaccumulate this substance constitues a potentially high risk to the environment; whereas restrictive measures should be introduced before this substance has become established on the Community market;
Whereas effective replacements or alternative approaches already exist which make the continued use of these three substances unnecessary;
Whereas restrictions on use or marketing already adopted by certain Member States in respect of the substances referred to above or of preparations or products containing them have a direct effect on the establishment and functioning of the internal maket; whereas it is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field, and consequently to amend Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC,
The following points are hereby added to Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC:
'25. Monomethyl - tetrachlorodiphenyl methane
Trade name: Ugilec 141
CAS No 76253-60-6 As from 18 June 1994 the marketing and use of this substance and of preparations and products containing it shall be prohibited. By way of exception this provision shall not apply: 1. in the case of plant and machinery already in service on 18 June 1994 until such plant and machinery is disposed of. However, as from 18 June 1994 Member States may, on grounds of health protection and environmental protection, prohibit within their territory the use of such plant or machinery before it is disposed of; 2. in the case of the maintenance of plant and machinery already in service on 18 June 1994. As from 18 June 1994 the placing on the secondhand market of this substance, preparations containing this substance and plant/machinery containing this substance, shall be prohibited. 26.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Food,
Whereas:
(1) The placing on the market of salatrims as novel food ingredients for use in energy-reduced bakery products and confectionery was authorised by Commission Decision 2003/867(2), under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003(4).
(2) The Scientific Committee on Food in its opinion on the safety assessment of salatrims for use as reduced calorie fats alternative as a novel food ingredient, expressed on 13 December 2001, noted that the energy provided by salatrims lies between 5 and 6 kcal/gram.
(3) Under current rules, the energy provided by salatrims, considered to be fats, should be calculated by using the conversion factor for fat, provided for in Article 5(1) of Directive 90/496/EEC, namely 9 kcal/gram. The use of this conversion factor for the declared energy content of a product would misrepresent its reduced energy content achieved by the use of salatrims in its manufacture and would thus result in a failure to fully inform the consumer. Therefore it is necessary to adopt the appropriate conversion factor for salatrims to be used for the calculation of the declared energy value of foodstuffs.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The following is added at the end of Article 5(1) of Directive 90/496/EEC:

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 (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2003.

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 the third paragraph of Article 121 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Point A.3 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years in which climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.
(2) The Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2013, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable. Such request has been made by the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia for all their wine-growing regions and by France for some communes within the department of Gironde.
(3) Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2013, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof for which there would normally be market demand.
(4) Having regard to the purpose of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, namely to discourage and limit enrichment of wine, and given the exceptional nature of the derogation in point A.3 of that Annex, authorisations to increase the limits for the enrichment of wine should be granted only for the wine-growing regions or parts thereof affected by exceptionally unfavourable climatic conditions. Therefore, in France, the authorisation should only be granted for a limited number of communes in the department of Gironde that have suffered such climatic conditions.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2013 in wine-growing regions in the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia or a part thereof.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
By way of derogation from point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, in the wine-growing regions or a part thereof listed in the Annex to this Regulation, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2013, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2013, shall not exceed the following limits:
(a) 3,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone A referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007;
(b) 2,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone B referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007;
(c) 2,0 % vol. in wine-growing zones C I and C II referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1988 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(1), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(3), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 provides for the grant of a premium to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat. Those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999 of 21 December 1999 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat is granted(4).
(2) Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices.
(3) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the amount of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of that Article by a coefficient expressing the annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe producing these lambs expressed by 100 kg of carcase weight. The coefficient for 2000 has not yet been fixed in view of the lack of full Community statistics. Pending the fixing of that coefficient, a provisional coefficient should be used. Article 5(3) of that Regulation also fixes the amount per ewe for producers of light lambs and per female of the caprine species and at 80 % of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs.
(4) Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article. That coefficient is fixed by Article 13(4) at 7 %.
(5) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the half-yearly advance payment is fixed at 30 % of the expected premium. In accordance with Article 4(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999(6), the advance payment is to be paid only if it is equal to or greater than EUR 1.
(6) Under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 193/98(8), the Council instituted specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community. It lays down that the aid is to be granted under the same conditions as those for the grant of the premium for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat. In view of the present uncertainty of the market situation in certain Member States, the Member States should be authorised, for the 2000 marketing year, to pay immediately an amount equal to 90 % of the aid.
(7) Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application of specific measures relating to agricultural production in the Canary Islands. Those measures entail the grant of a supplement to the ewe premium to producers of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as those governing the grant of the premium referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98. Those conditions provide that Spain is authorised to pay an advance on the said supplementary premium.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
The difference, which is hereby estimated between the basic price, reduced by the impact of the coefficient laid down in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, and the foreseeable market price for 2000, is EUR 113,785 per 100 kg.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per ewe is as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: EUR 17,853,
- producers of light lambs: EUR 14,282.
2. Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the first advance that the Member States are authorised to pay to producers shall be as follows:
- producers of heavy lambs: EUR 5,356 per ewe,
- producers of light lambs: EUR 4,285 per ewe.
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per female of the caprine species in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999 is EUR 14,282.
2. Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the first advance which the Member States are authorised to pay to goatmeat producers located in the areas designated in paragraph 1 shall be EUR 4,285 per female of the caprine species.
The advance of the specific aid which the Member States are authorised to pay to producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat in less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90, within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, shall be as follows:
- EUR 5,977 per ewe in the case of the producers referred to in Article 5(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98,
- EUR 5,379 per ewe in the case of the producers referred to in Article 5(3) of the said Regulation,
- EUR 5,379 per she-goat in the case of the producers referred to in Article 5(5) of the said Regulation.
Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the first advance on the supplementary premium for the 2000 marketing year for producers of light lambs and she-goats in the Canary Islands within the limits provided for in Article 1(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90(9) shall be as follows:
- EUR 1,669 per ewe in the case of producers referred to in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, and
- EUR 1,669 per she-goat in the case of producers referred to in Article 5(5) of that Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 9 November 2010
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to extend the inclusion in Annex I thereto of the active substance carbon dioxide to product type 18
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes carbon dioxide.
(2) Commission Directive 2008/75/EC of 24 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include carbon dioxide as an active substance in Annex I thereto (3) included carbon dioxide as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, carbon dioxide has now been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(4) France was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 19 February 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(5) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 27 May 2010, in an assessment report.
(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing carbon dioxide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to extend the inclusion of carbon dioxide in Annex I to that Directive to such products.
(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the European level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the European level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing carbon dioxide and used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, it is appropriate to require that products are only sold to and used by trained professionals, that appropriate measures to protect operators are taken to ensure minimum risk, including the availability of personal protective equipment if necessary, and that appropriate measures are taken to protect bystanders, such as exclusion from the treatment area during fumigation.
(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance carbon dioxide and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 21 June 2013
laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital
(ECB/2013/18)
(2013/360/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision ECB/2013/17 of 21 June 2013 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) provides for the adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively) in view of the accession of Croatia to the European Union and its NCB, Hrvatska narodna banka, joining the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 July 2013. This adjustment requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the ESCB on 30 June 2013 in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2008/25 of 12 December 2008 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (2) with effect from 1 July 2013.
(2) Hrvatska narodna banka will not join the ESCB until 1 July 2013, which means that the transfer of capital pursuant to Article 28.5 of the Statute of the ESCB does not apply to it on this occasion.
(3) Decision ECB/2013/19 of 21 June 2013 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (3) determines how and to what extent the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter ‘euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up the ECB’s capital in view of the expanded capital key. Decision ECB/2013/20 of 21 June 2013 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (4) determines the percentage that the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 July 2013 in view of the expanded capital key.
(4) The euro area NCBs have already paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2010/27 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the increase of the European Central Bank’s capital by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (5). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/19 states that euro area NCBs should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/19. Decision ECB/2010/27 supplements Decision ECB/2008/24 of 12 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central bank’s capital by the participating national central banks (6).
(5) Likewise, the non-euro area NCBs, with the exception of Hrvatska narodna banka, have already paid up a percentage of their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2010/28 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (7). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2013/20 states that each of them should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the third column of the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/20. Article 2(2) of Decision ECB/2013/20 states that Hrvatska narodna banka should transfer to the ECB the amount shown next to its name in the third column of the table in Article 1 of the same Decision,
Transfer of capital shares
Given the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB, with the exception of Hrvatska narodna banka, will have subscribed on 30 June 2013, and the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will subscribe with effect from 1 July 2013 as a consequence of the adjustment of the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2013/17, the NCBs shall transfer capital shares among themselves via transfers to and from the ECB to ensure that the distribution of capital shares with effect from 1 July 2013 corresponds to the adjusted weightings. To this effect, each NCB shall, by virtue of this Article and without the need for any further formality or act, be deemed to have either transferred or received with effect from 1 July 2013 the share in the ECB’s subscribed capital shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to a capital share that the ECB shall transfer to the NCB and ‘-’ to a capital share that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB.
Adjustment of the paid-up capital
Given the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB has paid up and the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB shall pay up with effect from 1 July 2013 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/19 for the euro area NCBs and Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/20 for the non-euro area NCBs respectively, on 1 July 2013 each NCB shall either transfer or receive the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘-’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to that NCB.
General provisions
1. The transfers described in Article 2 shall take place through TARGET2.
2. Where an NCB does not have access to TARGET2, the amounts described in Article 2 shall be transferred by crediting an account that the ECB or NCB shall nominate in due time.
3. In the event of non-payment on 1 July 2013, interest due from 1 July 2013 until the day of payment shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the latest available marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its tenders for main refinancing operations. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues. Payment of the amounts described in Article 2 and the interest payments shall be made in two separate transactions.
4. The ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to make a transfer under Article 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfer on time.
Entry into force and repeal
1. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 July 2013.
2. Decision ECB/2008/25 is repealed with effect from 1 July 2013.
3. References to Decision ECB/2008/25 shall be construed as being made to this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
