COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1122/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a prohibition of fishing for white marlin in the Atlantic Ocean by vessels flying the flag of Spain
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (2) lays down quotas for 2014.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2014.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2014 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex. In particular it shall be prohibited to retain on board, relocate, tranship or land fish from that stock caught by those vessels after that date.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1736/93 of 30 June 1993 amending and correcting Regulations (EEC) No 1912/92 and (EEC) No 2254/92 laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with products from the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3714/92 (2), and in particular Articles 3 (4), 4 (4) and 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the establishment, for the beef and veal sector and for the period 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994, of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Canary Islands with beef and veal, male bovines for fattening and pure-bred breeding animals;
Whereas the quantities of products benefiting from the specific supply arrangements must be determined within the framework of periodic forecast supply balances which may be adjusted on the basis of the essential requirements of the markets and taking account of local production and traditional trade flows; whereas to ensure coverage of requirements in terms of quantity, price and quality and to ensure that the proportion of products supplied from the Community is preserved, the aid to be granted for products originating in the rest of the Community must be determined on terms equivalent, for the end user, to the advantage resulting from exemption from import duties on imports of products from third countries;
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the number of imported bovines for fattening to be determined degressively to take account of the development of local production; whereas, owing to the increasing local consumption of beef and veal linked to the development of tourism which has led to an increase in the supply balance quantities for the 1992/93 marketing year, a degree of degressivity should be applied during the period 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 which takes account of these local market needs;
Whereas, contrary to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the various language versions of Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 of 10 July 1992 laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with products from the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1104/93 (4), with the exception of the French version, do not explicitly cover the case of exemption from both the customs duty and the import levy; whereas in order to rectify this situation the texts in question should be corrected and made applicable from 1 July 1992;
Whereas the aid amounts for Community products in the beef and veal sector were fixed for the Canary Islands by Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92; whereas the specific conditions for supplying the Canary Islands market with frozen meat permit a reduction in the level of aid granted for that product;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 is hereby replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
2. Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2254/92 (5) is hereby replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
3. Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 is hereby replaced by Annex III to this Regulation.
4. Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 is hereby replaced by Annex IV to this Regulation.
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 1
Pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the quantities for the forecast supply balance for products from the beef and veal sector which benefit from exemption from the customs duty and import levy on products coming from third countries or which benefit from Community aid are fixed in Annex I.'
The aid shall be determined in such a way that the proportion of products supplied from the Community is preserved, taking account of traditional trade flows.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1993.
shall apply with effect from 1 July 1992.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 803/2005
of 26 May 2005
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(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 (3), 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 27 May 2005.

(2) The importance of the structure survey results for the common agricultural policy and the growing demand for up-to-date data make it necessary to carry out the computer processing of the survey data and communication thereof to the Statistical Office of the European Communities as quickly as possible;
(3) The deadlines to be fixed for the communication of survey results to the Statistical Office of the European Communities must take into account the fact that the timetable for carrying out the survey work is different between Member States;

The approved bodies shall issue to rearers:
— not later than 40 days after the dispatch of boxes of eggs, an attestation specifying at least the name and the address of the rearer concerned, the number of boxes delivered, the date of dispatch and the date of issue of the attestation;
— not later than 40 days after the receipt of the cocoons, an attestation specifying at least the name and address of the rearer concerned, the quantity of cocoons received, the date of receipt and the date of issue of the attestation.
Regulation (EEC) No 1054/73 is repealed.

As a result, the quantity of maize that may be offered for intervention in period 2 of the 2007/2008 marketing year should be published.
(3) In accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 3a(1), period 2 starts on the day following publication by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union of the quantity which remains available for intervention in that period. That day is the first day for the submission of offers in all the Member States and that period ends not later than 30 April in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal, 30 June in Sweden and 31 May in the other Member States. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The quantity of maize that may be offered for intervention in period 2 of the 2007/2008 marketing year in accordance with Article 3a of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, shall be 1 500 000 tonnes.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1474/77 of 30 June 1977 altering the monetary compensatory amounts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 of 12 May 1971 on certain measures of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary widening of the margins of fluctuation for the currencies of certain Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 557/76 (2), and in particular Articles 3 and 6 thereof,
Whereas the monetary compensatory amounts introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 938/77 of 29 April 1977 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1429/77 (4);
Whereas on 1 July 1977 the 1977/78 sugar year begins ; whereas the new prices of sugar have to be taken into account from that date for the calculation of the monetary compensatory amounts applicable to products in the sugar sector and to certain products and goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 (5) ; whereas account must also be taken of the fact that from 1 July 1977 the new representative rates fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 (6) are applicable in the sugar sector ; whereas this opportunity should be taken to clarify certain points;
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77 of 17 May 1977 (7), laid down common provisions for isoglucose ; whereas isoglucose is a direct substitute for liquid sugar obtained by processing sugar beet or cane ; whereas it is in direct competition with liquid sugar, for which monetary compensatory amounts are fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 938/77;
Whereas, therefore, since monetary compensatory amounts exist for sugar, such amounts should also be fixed for isoglucose ; whereas, if such amounts were not fixed, there could be disturbances in trade in the product in question ; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 938/77 should therefore be supplemented;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 800/77 of 20 April 1977 (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 987/77 (9), introduced new monetary compensatory amounts for certain goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 ; whereas those amounts are due to take effect on 4 July 1977;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of 29 May 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1234/77(11), lays down that the monetary compensatory amount must be calculated on the basis of the common price ; whereas in the sugar sector amendments introduced with effect from 1 July 1977 make it necessary to take into consideration the intervention price plus the amount of the levy collected on sugar of Community origin under the arrangements for the reduction of storage costs;
Whereas, to make possible the application of the new monetary compensatory amounts introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 800/77, the said amounts should be fixed by reference to changes in the exchange rates referred to in Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 and to the new representative rates fixed in Council Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 ; whereas, in the interests of clarity, Part 8 of Annex I should be republished;
Whereas the Management Committees for Sugar and for Isoglucose have not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by their chairmen ; whereas the (1) OJ No L 106, 12.5.1971, p. 1.

(11) OJ No L 143, 10.6.1977, p. 9. measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the other relevant management committees,
1. Parts 7 and 8 of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 938/77 are hereby amended to read as shown in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 938/77 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
The following is added to the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75:
"However, in the sugar sector, it is calculated on the basis of the intervention price plus the amount of the levy collected on sugar of Community origin under the arrangements for the reduction of storage costs."

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (1) was signed on 3 May 1977 and entered into force on 1 November 1978;
Whereas Article 6 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (2) annexed to the said Agreement (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Protocol’), as amended by Decision No 3/84 (3) of the Cooperation Council, provides that, in the case of an automatic change in the base date applicable to the amounts expressed in ecus, the Community may introduce revised amounts when necessary;
Whereas the equivalent value of the ecu in certain national currencies on 1 October 1988 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1986; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ecus,
The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), ECU 2 590 shall be replaced by ECU 2 820;
2. In Article 17 (2), ECU 180 shall be replaced by ECU 200 and ECU 515 by ECU 565.

Whereas:
Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 954/2002 fixes at 26500 tonnes the quantity of subquota I in respect of which Community importers can lodge an application for import rights based on imports under Commission Regulations (EC) No 1142/98(2), (EC) No 995/1999(3) and (EC) No 980/2000(4).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/48/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/39/EC(4), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables(5), as last amended by Directive 2001/48/EC, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(6), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/49/EC(7), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The existing active substance, fluroxypyr, was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directive 2000/10/EC(8). No harmonised maximum residue levels for this active substance have yet been set by the Commission. The harmonisation of maximum residue levels is desirable both from the public health and from the trade point of view.
(2) Following inclusion of the substance in Annex I, Member States authorised a number of plant protection products containing it in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 91/414/EEC, and established provisional maximum residue levels as required by Article 4(1)(f) thereof. These authorisations concern uses as a herbicide in orchards or as a post emergence herbicide on apples, olives, onions, cereals, meadows and pastures. As required by that Directive, those levels, and the information on which they were based, have been notified to the Commission. This information together with data available from other sources has been reviewed and is sufficient to provisionally fix certain maximum residue levels.
(3) Article 5 of Directive 86/363/EEC requires that provisional maximum residue levels for animal products established pursuant to Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC be indicated in Annex II to Directive 86/363/EEC.
(4) At the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC the technical and scientific evaluation of fluroxypyr was finalised on 30 November 1999 in the format of the Commission review report for fluroxypyr. In this review report the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for fluroxypyr was set at 0,8 mg/kg bw/day. The lifetime exposure of consumers of food products treated with fluroxypyr has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with the procedures and practices used within the European Community, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(9) and it has been calculated that the maximum residue levels fixed in this Directive do not give rise to an exceeding of this ADI.
(5) Acute toxic effects requiring the setting of an acute reference dose were not noted during the evaluation and discussion that preceded the inclusion of fluroxypyr in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) To ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues in or on products for which no authorisations have been granted, it is prudent to set maximum residue levels at the lower limit of analytical determination for all such products covered by Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC. The setting at Community level of provisional maximum residue levels does not prevent Member States from establishing provisional maximum residue levels for fluroxypyr in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI thereto.
(7) Four years is considered a sufficient period of time during which to establish most further uses of fluroxypyr. After that period, provisional maximum residue levels should become definitive.
(8) The Community's trading partners have been consulted about the levels set out in this Directive through the World Trade Organisation and their comments on these levels have been considered. No CODEX maximum residue levels are defined for fluroxypyr. The possibility of fixing maximum residue levels for specific pesticide/crop combinations other than those listed herein will be examined by the Commission on the basis of the submission of acceptable data.
(9) The opinions of the Scientific Committee for Plants, in particular advice and recommendations concerning the protection of consumers of food products treated with pesticides, have been taken into account.
(10) This Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 of 22 July 1993 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
Whereas for the purposes of animal health protection and given the specific nature of the market in veterinary medicinal products, encouragement should be given to pharmaceutical companies so that new and/or innovative medicinal products in the veterinary field are placed on the market as soon as possible;
Whereas pharmaceutical companies are bound by essential requirements for the development of medicinal products relating to, inter alia, clinical and toxicological studies; whereas these essential requirements vary according to whether the medicinal product is intended for domestic animals, animals producing food for human consumption or both categories of animal;
Whereas new and innovative veterinary medicinal products should be the subject of coherent and effective supervision by way of pharmacovigilance; whereas it is therefore preferable to entrust the supervision of a particular medicinal product to a single national or Community authority, regardless of its indications and target species;
Whereas it is also necessary to improve the transparency of and ease of access to the market in veterinary medicinal products by offering pharmaceutical companies the possibility, for a given new and/or innovative medicinal product, of a single type of national or Community authorisation whatever the target species for that product;
Whereas therefore it must be possible for the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products to carry out an evaluation, at the request of a company, of any veterinary medicinal product containing a new active substance which, on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, was not authorised by any Member State for use in animals;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
In the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93, Part B, the last indent shall be replaced by the following text:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95 (2), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas, under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts presented by the Member States, clears the accounts of the authorities and bodies referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation;
Whereas the Member States have transmitted to the Commission the documents required to clear the accounts for 1994; whereas Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 provides that the 1994 financial year began on 16 October 1993 and ended on 15 October 1994;
Whereas the Commission has carried out the verifications provided for in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70;
Whereas Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1723/72 of 26 July 1972 on making up accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 295/88 (4), provides that the decision to clear the accounts must include the determination of the amount of expenditure incurred in each Member State during the financial year in question recognised as chargeable to the Guarantee Section of the Fund; whereas Article 102 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2444/97 (6), provides that the outcome of the clearance decision, that is to say, any discrepancy which may occur between the total expenditure booked to the accounts for a financial year under Articles 100 and 101 and the total expenditure recognised by the Commission when clearing the accounts is to be booked, under a single article, as additional expenditure or a reduction in expenditure;
Whereas, under Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, only refunds on exports to third countries and intervention to stabilise agricultural markets, respectively granted and undertaken according to Community rules within the framework of the common organisation of the agricultural markets, may be financed; whereas the inspections carried out show that a part of the expenditure declared by the Member States does not meet these conditions and therefore must be disallowed; whereas the amounts declared by each of the Member States concerned, those recognised as chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section and the difference between the two amounts and the difference between the expenditure recognised as chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section and that charged in respect of the year, are annexed to this Decision;
Whereas the expenditure declared by Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom as support for producers of certain arable crops, amounting respectively to BEF 37 610 355, DKK 261 991 880,28, DEM 600 977 770,84, ESP 72 776 981 668, FRF 2 572 344 612,45, IEP 458 554,44, ITL 110 362 227 405, LUF 14 188 574, NLG 1 178 066,51, PTE 3 562 835 605 and GBP 85 024,11 was not covered by the Decision for the clearance of the 1993 EAGGF accounts, because final payments for oilseeds were not made until 1994 and the results of EAGGF inquiries covered all spending in respect of the 1993 harvest and not only the advances paid during 1993; whereas the expenditure declared by Spain for the olive cultivation register amounting to ESP 600 038 445, by France for the discontinuation and the reduction of milk production amounting to FRF 531 272 940,06, and for the premiums for leaf tobacco amounting to FRF 7 160 544, by Italy for the abandonment of wine-growing areas, as per the enquiry of illegal plantings, amounting to ITL 31 861 816 140 was not covered by the Decision for the clearance of the 1993 EAGGF accounts; whereas, therefore, these amounts have been added back to the expenditure declared by the Member States for the 1994 clearance exercise and will be currently cleared;
Whereas the expenditure declared by Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom as support for producers of certain arable crops, amounting respectively to BEF 44 488 205, DKK 217 632 480,18, DEM 625 580 204,80, GRD 704 353 447, ESP 53 526 391 438, FRF 3 032 760 954,71, IEP 1 399 246,84, ITL 171 798 906 560, LUF 13 226 892, NLG 201 888,89, PTE 6 586 838 460 and GBP 88 604 051,26 is not covered by this Decision because final payments for oilseeds were not made until 1995 and the results of EAGGF inquiries cover all spending in respect of the 1994 harvest and not only the advances paid during 1994; whereas, therefore, these amounts have been deducted from the expenditure declared by the Member States for the current clearance exercise and will be cleared later;
Whereas the expenditure declared by Germany in respect of the levying of fees to finance the management of the arable crops scheme in Schleswig-Holstein amounting to DEM 271 964, by Italy for the olive oil in intervention storage amounting to ITL 202 034 589 024, by Spain in respect of the consumption aid for olive oil amounting to ESP 42 574 312 665 and in respect of the ewe/goat premium amounting to ESP 1 390 733 000 and for the improvement of the quality of milk amounting to ESP 101 802 242 and by the United Kingdom (part only of the total expenditure) in respect of the public storage operations for beef amounting to GBP 1 849 000, is not covered by this Decision since further investigations are still necessary; whereas, therefore, these amounts have been deducted from the expenditure declared by these Member States for the current clearance exercise and will be cleared later;
Whereas corrections are necessary in respect of supplementary levies for milk for the milk years 1985/1986 to 1992/1993 which are still outstanding because of legal disputes between buyers/producers and the competent authorities of certain Member States; whereas these negative corrections for France, Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom and the Netherlands amount to FRF 114 387 058, BEF 32 139 050, LUF 11 979 538, GBP 105 928,21 and NLG 3 043 965,97 respectively; whereas the Commission nevertheless reserves the possibility to re-examine the corrections made under this clearance of accounts if, following the outcome of the legal proceedings, amounts are considered not to be due or to be non-recoverable;
Whereas corrections are necessary if the statutory time limits allowed for payments to be made have elapsed; whereas these corrections for Belgium, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom under various schemes amount to BEF 440 888, ESP 752 182 204, GRD 666 812 006, IEP 943 665,56, ITL 26 383 487 618, NLG 221 924,10, PTE 139 943 090 and GBP 9 407,41 respectively; whereas the amounts concerned have already been paid over to the Commission by deduction from monthly advances; whereas the Commission wishes that the Member States concerned are given the opportunity to avail themselves of the conciliation procedure; whereas, should this occur, the Commission will re-examine these corrections, once the conciliation reports are available; whereas this Decision is nevertheless immediately applicable;
Whereas, on the basis of Commission decision of 2 February 1995, it was not possible to enter into the accounts of the budget year 1994 certain amounts of expenditure declared by France and Italy due to a lack of credits in the relevant budget lines; whereas, as a consequence, the Commission could not book this expenditure in the 1994 budget year and, therefore, the pertinent advances to be paid had to be reduced by an amount of FRF 179 945 575,32 and of ITL 36 421 859 436 respectively; whereas, since these amounts were declared by France and Italy in their 1994 declaration, it is necessary, for the clearance of these amounts, to include in the annexes of the present Decision the amounts chargeable to the said Member States;
Whereas, before a financial correction that is eligible for the conciliation procedure set up by Commission Decision 94/442/EC (7) is fixed by the Commission, it is necessary that the Member State be given an opportunity, if it so wishes, of availing itself of that procedure; whereas, should this occur, it is essential that the Commission study the report drawn up by the Conciliation Body; whereas the period set for the procedure will not have expired, in respect of all the eligible corrections, by the date of adoption of this Decision; whereas the clearance decision should not, however, be delayed further; whereas the corresponding amounts have therefore been deducted from the expenditure declared by the Member States concerned in respect of the year under consideration and will be cleared later;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 provides that the financial consequences arising from irregularities or negligence are not to be borne by the Community if they are the result of irregularities or negligence attributable to administrative authorities or other bodies of the Member States; whereas some of those financial consequences which cannot be borne by the Community budget should be included within the scope of this Decision;
Whereas this Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences which may be determined in any subsequent clearance of accounts in respect of State aid or infringements for which the procedures initiated under Articles 93 and 169 of the Treaty are now being implemented or were terminated after 31 December 1997;
Whereas this Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences drawn by the Commission, during a subsequent accounts clearance procedure, from current investigations under way at the time of this Decision, from irregularities within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 or from judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 31 December 1997 and relating to matters covered by this Decision,
Member States' accounts concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section in respect of 1994 are hereby cleared as shown in Annex I.
The amounts arising under points 3 of the Annexes are to be booked as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (8), in respect of the second month after the notification of this Decision.

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.

(2) IPBC has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 6, in-can preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 6 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(4) 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 September 2013, in an assessment report.

Whereas the Abruzzo IMP, including its financial plan, may therefore be approved by the Commission;
Whereas the Abruzzo IMP relates to the period from 1 January 1988 to 31 December 1992 inclusive;
Whereas the Abruzzo IMP contains measures which constitute a specific programme of action eligible for assistance from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund Guidance Section, by virtue of the second paragraph of Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85;
Whereas, in order to ensure its effectiveness, the Abruzzo IMP will be carried out in successive phases and will be subject to later decisions when the conditions for the granting of Community contributions have been met;
Whereas the expenditure on the measures constituting the Abruzzo IMP is estimated at 131 495 000 ECU for the period from 1 January 1988 to 31 December 1992;

Whereas in the light of the current situation in the Community it appears advisable to limit the Community budget's responsibility for interest charges to four Member States;

12
1.2 // M // = total expenditure for the financial year // 1,5417 // = average period for which capital is tied up // i // = annual rate of interest (0,068).

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when the basic price for slaughtered pigs is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 for a standard quality defined by reference to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (5),
For the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996, the basic price for slaughtered pigs of the standard quality shall be ECU 1 509,39 per tonne.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 of 29 March 1990 on improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 867/90 of 29 March 1990 on improving the processing and marketing conditions for forestry products (3) extends the measure introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 to cover forestry products;
Whereas on 7 June 1990 the Commission adopted Decision 90/342/EEC on the selection criteria to be adopted for investments for improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural and forestry products (4);
Whereas the selection criteria drawn up pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 in accordance with the Community's policy guidelines are intended to ensure that the investments financed are consistent with the health and plant-health rules, the Community rules on the quality of agricultural products and foodstuffs and the agricultural markets policies and to determine the categories of investments to be given priority for a grant from the Fund or to be excluded from Community aid;
Whereas, as a result of the reform of the common agricultural policy, the selection criteria should be adjusted and the provisions in force should be recast in the interests of clarity;
Whereas the selection criteria may be adjusted later in line with market developments in the different sectors; whereas, particularly in the case of markets which have yet to be reformed, such criteria should, if appropriate and necessary, be revised to take account of decisions taken in the context of such reforms of common organizations of the market; whereas the application of the criteria should also take account of the duly justified specific needs of certain local productions;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (6), lays down the different objectives of the Community structural policy, Objective 1 of which takes specific account of the regions whose development is lagging behind; whereas provision should be made for certain criteria specific to Objective 1 regions and for the possibility of ad hoc derogations for the remotest regions to take account of the special conditions in those regions;
Whereas the selection criteria reflect the guidelines of the common agricultural policy; whereas these criteria must therefore be applied consistently to all decisions approving the granting of assistance from a Community Fund to investments to improve the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural and forestry products;
Whereas the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The Community's selection criteria for investments eligible for Community assistance under Regulations (EEC) No 866/90 and (EEC) No 867/90 are set out in the Annex hereto.
2. These criteria might be the subject of ad hoc derogations to be decided in the framework of the implementation of specific measures approved by the Council for the remotest regions or, in the case of refrigeration units, for the Aegean islands.
Decision 90/342/EEC is hereby repealed.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18(1) and Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provide that a guide price and a Community producer price should be fixed for each fishing year in order to determine price levels for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products.
(2) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the guide price to be fixed for each of the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation.
(3) On the basis of currently available data on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2007 fishing year depending on the species.
(4) Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price to be fixed for the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation. It is appropriate to establish the Community producer price for one of those products and calculate the Community producer price for the others by means of the conversion factors established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 802/2006 of 30 May 2006 fixing the conversion factors applicable to fish of the genera Thunnus and Euthynnus
(2).
(5) On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and second indents of Article 18(2) and in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the Community producer price for the 2007 fishing year should be adjusted.
(6) Given the urgency of the matter, it is important to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph 1(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the treaties establishing the European Communities,
For the fishing year from 1 January to 31 December 2007, the guide prices as provided for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
For the fishing year from 1 January to 31 December 2007, the Community producer prices as provided for in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2007.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 12 May 1993 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of manganese steel wearparts originating in the Republic of South Africa
(93/318/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1) and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Following consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the said Regulation,
Whereas:
(1) In March 1992, the Commission received a complaint lodged by six Community producers of manganese steel warparts whose collective output was stated to constitute a major proportion of Community production of the product in question.
The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. After consultation within the Advisory Committee, the Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding conerning imports into the Community of managanese steel wearparts originating in the Republic of South Africa.
(2) The products concerned are parts of machinery which are liable to be worn away by contact with the material they are processing. They are manufactured by a foundry process and moulded into a steel casting having a minimum content of 6 % manganese (so-called manganese steel wearparts).
(3) The Commission offocially advised the Community producers, the importers and the South African producers known to be concerned as well as the representatives of the Republic of South Africa of the opening of the investigation and gave the parties concered the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
(4) During the investigation concerning injury, the Commission received information concerning only a small proportion of the total Community production. In this respect, the Commission recalls that in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, injury has to be determined for the Community industry and that the term 'Community industry' should be interpreted 'as referring to the Community producers as a whole of the like product or to those of them whose collective output of the products constitutes a major proportion of the total Community production' of the product concerned. It was not possible to make findings on injury in the absence of information on the rest of the Community industry. In these conditions, no further investigation was conducted.
(5) The Commission informed the complainants of these facts and they were not contested.
(6) Unter these circumstances the proceeding should be terminated in accordance with Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. No objections have been raised within the Advisory Committee against this course of action,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of managanese steel wearparts, falling within CN codes ex 8474 90 10, ex 8413 91 90, ex 8485 90 51, ex 7326 90 98, ex 8431 49 20 and ex 8431 41 00, originating in the Republic of South Africa is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) Articles 29 and 31 of the Treaty call in particular for closer cooperation within the European Union between the competent authorities in the fight against organised crime. In order to improve judicial cooperation between Member States, structural measures to facilitate the coordination of investigations and prosecutions relating to serious crime, particularly when it is organised, covering the territory of several Member States, need to be adopted at Union level without delay, and in particular a Provisional Judicial Cooperation Unit needs to be established.
(2) The Council has adopted Joint Action 98/428/JHA of 29 June 1998 concerning the creation of a European Judicial Network(3).
(3) The conclusions of the European Council meeting in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999, in particular paragraph 46 thereof, concern the setting up, before the end of 2001, of a unit (Eurojust) composed of prosecutors, judges or police officers of equivalent competence, to reinforce the fight against serious organised crime.
(4) The meetings of such a Provisional Unit should be supported by the infrastructure of the Council, as its experience would be of value in drawing up the instrument establishing Eurojust.
(5) Experience gained with the Provisional Unit will serve as a basis for drawing up the instrument establishing Eurojust,
A formation shall be established known as the Provisional Judicial Cooperation Unit, located in Brussels and supported by the infrastructure of the Council.
1. The objectives of the Provisional Unit are as follows:
(a) to improve cooperation between the competent national authorities with regard to investigations and prosecutions in relation to serious crime, particularly when it is organised, involving two or more Member States;
(b) in the same framework, to stimulate and improve the coordination of investigations and prosecutions in the Member States, taking into account any request emanating from a competent national authority and any information provided by any body competent by virtue of provisions adopted within the framework of the Treaties.
2. The Provisional Unit shall provide its expertise to the Member States and to the Council, where necessary, with a view to the negotiation and the adoption by the Council of the instrument establishing Eurojust.
1. Each Member State shall assign to the formation referred to in Article 1 a prosecutor, judge or police officer of equivalent competence, to perform the liaison duties necessary to accomplish the objectives referred to in Article 2 and tasks referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article.
These members may, for the purposes of fulfilling their tasks, organise missions in a Member State whose authorities are involved in a specific investigation or prosecution and may meet as necessary in any other place.
2. Within the scope of each Member State's national legislation, in cooperation with any body competent by virtue of provisions adopted within the framework of the Treaties and within the limit of their respective powers, the members of the Provisional Unit shall contribute to the proper coordination and facilitation of judicial cooperation between competent national authorities, in actions relating to the investigation and prosecution of serious crime, particularly when it is organised, insofar as two or more Member States are concerned.
The coordination may, in particular, contribute to the consideration of arrangements for the opening and development of investigations and prosecutions.
In particular, the members of the Provisional Unit should, where possible, provide support for the coordination and operation of joint investigative teams.
The Commission shall be fully associated with the work of the Provisional Unit, in accordance with Article 36(2) of the Treaty.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its adoption.
It shall cease to apply on the date on which the instrument establishing Eurojust takes effect. That instrument is to be adopted before the end of 2001. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas one of the essential tasks of the European Economic Community is to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities and a continuous and balanced expansion, which cannot be imagined in the absence of a campaign to combat pollution and nuisances or of an improvement in the quality of life and the protection of the environment;
Whereas the use of lead is currently causing lead contamination of many areas of the environment;
Whereas inhaled lead contributes significantly to the total body burden of lead;
Whereas the protection of human health against the hazards of lead requires that the individual's exposure to lead in the air be monitored;
Whereas the first (4) and second (5) programme of action of the European Communities on the environment state that this pollutant should receive priority consideration ; whereas the said programmes provide for the coordination of national programmes in this field and for the harmonization of national policies within the Community on the basis of a common long-term plan aiming at improving the quality of life ; whereas since the specific powers of action required to this end have not been provided for in the Treaty, it is necessary to invoke Article 235 thereof;
Whereas insufficient technical and scientific information is available to enable the Council to lay down specific standards for the environment generally ; whereas the adoption of limit values for the protection of human health will contribute to the protection of the environment as well;
Whereas it is desirable to fix a limit value for lead in the air;
Whereas the measures taken pursuant to this Directive must be economically feasible and compatible with balanced development ; whereas in consequence a sufficient time limit should be laid down for its implementation ; whereas account should also be taken of the provisions of Council Directive 78/611/EEC of 29 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the lead content of petrol (6);
Whereas it is desirable to monitor the quality of the air in places where people may be exposed continuously and for a long period and where there is a risk that the limit value may not be observed;
Whereas it is important that the Commission should obtain information concerning the sites used for sampling, the sampling and analysis procedures used to determine the concentration of lead in the air, the places where the limit value laid down in the Directive has been exceeded and the concentrations measured in these places as well as the measures taken to avoid a repetition of the occurrence;
Whereas each year as from the second year after the implementation of this Directive the Commission should publish a summary report on the (1) OJ No C 154, 7.7.1975, p. 29. (2) OJ No C 28, 9.2.1976, p. 31. (3) OJ No C 50, 4.3.1976, p. 9. (4) OJ No C 112, 20.12.1973, p. 1. (5) OJ No C 139, 13.6.1977, p. 1. (6) OJ No L 197, 22.7.1978, p. 19. implementation of national provisions adopted pursuant to the Directive;
Whereas the application of the measures taken pursuant to this Directive should not lead to a noticeable deterioration of the quality of the air where the level of lead pollution observed when the Directive is implemented is lower than the limit value fixed;
Whereas, to implement the Directive, it is desirable to comply with the characteristics adopted in the Annex for choosing the sampling method ; whereas, to analyze the samples taken, it is desirable to use the reference method adopted in the Annex or any other method for which the Commission has previously had proof that it provides equivalent results;
Whereas further development of the characteristics to be complied with for choosing a sampling method and the reference method of analysis, set out in the Annex to this Directive, may be desirable in the light of technical and scientific progress achieved in this field ; whereas, to facilitate the implementation of the necessary work, it is desirable to provide for a procedure introducing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within a committee responsible for adapting the Directive to scientific and technical progress,
1. This Directive shall fix a limit value for lead in the air specifically in order to help protect human beings against the effects of lead in the environment.
2. This Directive shall not apply to occupational exposure.
1. For the purpose of this Directive, "limit value" means the concentration of lead in the air which, subject to the conditions laid down hereinafter, must not be exceeded.
2. The limit value shall be 2 micrograms Pb/m3 expressed as an annual mean concentration.
3. Member States may, at any time, fix a value more stringent than that laid down in this Directive.
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that five years after notification of this Directive, the concentration of lead in the air, measured in accordance with Article 4, is not greater than the limit value given in Article 2.

3. The Member States concerned shall, within two years of the implementation of this Directive, forward to the Commission plans for the progressive improvement of the quality of the air in such places. These plans, drawn up on the basis of relevant information as to the nature, origin and development of the pollution, shall in particular describe the measures already taken or envisaged and the procedures implemented or planned by the Member States concerned. The objective of these measures and procedures must be to bring the concentration of lead in the air in those places below the level of the limit value fixed in Article 2 (2) or down to that level, as soon as possible and at the latest seven years after notification of this Directive. These measures and procedures must take into account the provisions of Directive 78/611/EEC and the results of its application.
Member States shall ensure that sampling stations are installed and operated at places where individuals may be exposed continually for a long period and where they consider that Articles 1 and 2 are likely not to be observed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty and the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing Single Programming Documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft Single Programming Document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the Single Programming Document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The French Government submitted to the Commission on 28 April 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Champagne-Ardenne fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. As permitted by Article 40(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(2), the draft includes rural development measures other than those referred to in Article 35(1) of the Regulation. It also includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000 the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000 in the case of the Structural Funds. In the case of the EAGGF Guarantee Section, Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2603/1999(3) provides that the expenditure is eligible only if it has actually been paid to the beneficiary after the date of submission of the programme. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.
(7) The Single Programming Document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this Single Programming Document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Champagne-Ardenne in France eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Single Programming Document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of France.
The priorities are as follows:
1. preparing the area to accommodate new businesses;
2. encouraging the creation of activity and wealth;
3. structuring urban and rural areas;
4. agricultural and rural development;
5. protecting the environment and preventing natural disasters;
6. technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the other financial instruments, including the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the Single Programming Document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the Single Programming Document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 676964796 for the whole period, the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 207698988 and that from the EAGGF Guarantee Section at EUR 12173000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 356988250 from the public sector and EUR 100104558 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
3. The rate of part-financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for each rural development measure is given in the Single Programming Document. The rate of part-financing by the EAGGF at the level of the sub-measure or action is given in the programme complement provided for in Article 19(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and shall be valid for at least one financial year.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the Single Programming Document amounts to EUR 207698988, to which the EAGGF Guarantee Section will contribute a further EUR 12173000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The indicative initial estimated breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the Single Programming Document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(4). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall apply in the context of rural development part financed by the EAGGF.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000 for the Structural Funds and 28 April 2000 for the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008 for the Structural Funds. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the area receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.
The final date for the EAGGF Guarantee Section to take account of payments made by the paying bodies under this programming document shall be 31 December 2006.

(86/345/EEC)
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 Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 16 December 1969 on the progressive standardization of Agreements concerning commercial relations beteween Member States and third countries and on the negotiation of Community Agreements (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Portuguese Republic, with a view to avoiding any disruption of its commercial relations with the third countries concerned based on Agreement, requested authorization to extend or renew the abovementioned Agreements;
Whereas, however, most of the areas covered by these national Agreements are henceforth the subject of Community Agreements; whereas, in this situation, there should be authorization for the maintenance of national Agreements only for those areas not covered by Community Agreements; whereas, in addition, such authorization should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation incumbent upon the Member State concerned to avoid and, where appropriate, to eliminate any incompatibility between such Agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the Agreements to be either prolonged or renewed should not furthermore, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the Portuguese Republic has declared that the extension or tacit renewal of these Agreements would neither constitute an obstacle to the opening of Community negotiations with the third countries concerned and the transfer of the commercial substance of those Agreements to Community Agreements nor, during the period under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete the standardization of the import arrangements of the Member States;
Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC it was established, as the aforesaid declarations by the Portuguese Republic confirm, that the provisions of the Agreements to be extended or renewed would not, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas, in these circumstances, the Agreements concerned may be either extended or tacitly renewed for a limited period,
The Trade Agreements and Protocols between the Portuguese Republic and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for those areas not covered by Agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.

Whereas on 31 January 1986 the French Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by the Commission Decision 81/1024/EEC (3) relating to the fodder drying sector and on 28 August 1986 supplied supplementary information;
Whereas the addendum to the programme concerns the modernization and rationalization of facilities for harvesting, pre-wilting, transport, drying, storage and market preparation liable to preserve the high nutrition value of dehydrated fodder while reducing production costs, so as to make the sector more competitive and add value to its output; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the application cannot be extended to protein concentrate obtained from lucerne juice, which is not included in Annex II.

Whereas the addendum contains enough of the details specified in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the said Regulation can be attained in the fodder drying sector in France; whereas the time laid down for implementing the addendum does not exceed the period specified in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
The addendum to the programme relating to the fodder drying sector, notified on 31 January 1986 and supplemented on 28 August 1986 by the French Government in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved, including the investments relating to harvesting equipment as referred to in Article 6 of that Regulation in respect of lucerne, with the exception of investment related to protein concentrate obtained from lucerne juice, which is not included in Annex II.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (1), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 (2) lays down detailed implementing rules for Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 (3) reviewed the reference levels for the fleets in Outermost Regions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004, following the statement made jointly by the Council and the Commission during the Fisheries Council of 27 July 2006 (4).
(3) In the case of certain fleet segments of the French outermost regions, Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 sought the regularisation of an important number of vessels which carried out fishing activities before 31 December 2006 and were active without having been entered in the EU Fleet Register. These regularisations were considered as an extension of the development plans that had been presented for the outermost regions concerned.
(4) A more recent and comprehensive inventory of the small-scale fleets operating in the most remote areas of the French outermost regions of Guyana and Martinique made by the French authorities has shown that the number of vessels requiring regularisation was underestimated at the time of the above-mentioned review of the reference levels. France has requested that a new regularisation be done for the unaccounted vessels as part of the development plans presented in 2007 for Guyana and Martinique.
(5) The fleet segments concerned by the request for increase in reference level target their activities on coastal fish resources which, according to the most recent scientific information, do not show conservation concerns.
(6) In order to contribute to the sustainable development of the fisheries sector in outermost regions, it is therefore appropriate to consider the need for regularisation of the concerned vessels in the framework of the development plans concerned and to increase the corresponding reference levels in order to allow the registration of these vessels in the EU Fleet Register.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 29 December 1981, Belgium has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', ordered 8 September 1978 and to be used for research in the field of the micro and submicro analysis of plant phenolic and related compounds and also for determining the activity of the N-feruloyglycine deferulase enzyme, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrofluorometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SFR 100' manufactured by Baird Atomic Ltd, East Street, UK-Braintree, Essex and to the apparatus 'JY 3 C' manufactured by Jobin Yvon, 16-18, rue du Canal, F-91163 Longjumeau CĂŠdex,
The apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J 4-8970', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 29 December 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3805/85 (5), lays down that the intervention measures in the wine sector are designed to ensure that there is a balance on the table wine market and a guaranteed minimum price for such wines equivalent to a certain percentage of the guide price; whereas, in order to outline more clearly the basic function of support distillation as referred to in Article 15 of the said Regulation, which is to ensure that the producer receives the said price for the wine he delivers, it should be stipulated that the buying-in price for the wine under such distillation operations should be set at the same percentage of the guide price as that referred to in the aforementioned Article 3a;
Whereas Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 lays down strict time limits and rules for the implementation of the compulsory distillation scheme for table wines; whereas, however, provision has been made for the extension of some of these time limits for the first year of application;
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 775/85 of 26 March 1985 amending Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 on the common organization of the market in wine (6) also provided for the possibility for the Commission to adopt certain transitional measures for the first year so as to ensure smooth transition from the old to the new arrangements governing this distillation scheme;
Whereas, when the system was first implemented, numerous serious difficulties, in particular as regards the time allowed for communication of the quantities of table wine produced in each production area, were encountered in certain Member States; whereas, in order to ensure the actual execution of the operation, those difficulties could be overcome only by having recourse to existing transitional measures;
Whereas this experience demonstrates the danger that the rules and timetable laid down may be impossible to apply as they stand; whereas, therefore, to ensure the effective and fair application of the compulsory distillation operation, the transitional arrangements enabling the Commission to adopt the measures necessary to overcome any difficulties likely to jeopardize the execution of the distillation operation without affecting the basic components of the system should be reintroduced;
Whereas the purpose of these changes is to ensure the proper functioning of the compulsory distillation system and to alleviate the difficulties that were encountered on its first application; whereas allowing for those difficulties could, if appropriate, lead to the alteration of the system itself by the Council further to a possible proposal by the Commission,
Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 15 (5) is replaced by the following:
'5. The percentage of the guide price for each type of table wine used to determine the price paid for the wine delivered for distillation in the context of the application of paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 shall be that referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 3a.'
2. The following paragraph is added to Article 41:
'10a. If, during the 1986/87 wine year, difficulties likely to jeopardize the execution or balanced application of the compulsory distillation operation referred to in paragraph 1 occur, the measures necessary in order to ensure effective application of the distillation scheme shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 67.
Such measures may relate only to the provisions contained in this Article to the exclusion of those relating to:
- the quantities to be distilled,
- the prices to be paid for the distilled wine,
- the figure of 85 % to be applied in each production region,
- the reference years.
The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may extend the validity of this paragraph until the end of the 1989/90 wine year.'

of 25 October 2001
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
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 organisation 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 organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2001(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/2001(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. Whereas it is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. Whereas the fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 October 2001.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 November 2005
on the purchase and storage of foot-and-mouth disease virus antigens
(2005/780/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (2), and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Council Decision 91/666/EEC of 11 December 1991 establishing Community reserves of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines (3), stocks of antigens have been established for the express formulation of vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease and are kept for security reasons at distinct designated sites of the premises of the manufacturer.
(2) Under Directive 2003/85/EC, the Commission is to ensure that Community reserves of concentrated inactivated antigens for the production of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines are maintained on the premises of the Community antigen and vaccine bank.
(3) For that purpose the number of doses and the diversity of strains and subtypes of antigens of foot-and-mouth disease viruses stored in the Community antigen and vaccine bank is to be decided taking into account the needs as estimated in the context of the contingency plans and the epidemiological situation, where appropriate after consultation with the Community Reference Laboratory.
(4) Pending the designation of a Community Reference Laboratory for foot-and-mouth disease, account is taken of the report of the FAO World Reference Laboratory for Foot-and-Mouth Disease on a list of priority antigens recommended for antigen banks, which was endorsed by the Technical Committee of the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EUFMD) at the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) at the 36th General Session of EUFMD.
(5) The deterioration of the foot-and-mouth disease situation in certain parts of the world requires certain stocks of antigens to be supplemented urgently in accordance with the risks associated with this development for the epidemiological situation in the Community and neighbouring countries.
(6) When deciding about the procurement of additional quantities and subtypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus antigens account should be taken of existing quantities of such antigens, of the compatibility required for combination in polyvalent vaccines and of the marketing authorisation held by the manufacturer of the antigens in at least one of the Member States in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (4).
(7) Because the information on quantities and subtypes of antigens or authorised vaccines stored in the Community antigen and vaccine bank is to be treated as classified information in accordance with Directive 2003/85/EC, the Annex to this Decision should not be published.
(8) In accordance with Article 14 of Decision 90/424/EEC, the level of Community participation to set up such antigen reserves and the conditions to which such participation may be subject should also be set out.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The Commission shall purchase foot-and-mouth disease virus antigens in the quantities and subtypes specified in the Annex.
2. The Commission shall ensure that the antigens are distributed for storage between the two designated sites of the premises of the manufacturer in accordance with the Annex.
3. The measures mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be carried out by the Commission in cooperation with the supplier of the relevant antigens already stored in the European antigen bank.
4. The measures provided for in Article 1 shall be completed by 31 December 2005 at the latest.
1. The Commission shall bear the full cost of the measures referred to in Article 1(1) and (2) which shall not exceed a maximum set up to EUR 2 500 000.
2. The Commission shall conclude a contract on the purchases provided for in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 80(4) of Directive 2003/85/EC.
3. The Commission shall ensure that the antigens referred to in Article 1(1) are included in the scope of existing contracts concerning the storage of antigens as well as the formulation, production, bottling, labelling and delivery of vaccines reconstituted from such antigens.
4. The Director-General of the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection is hereby authorised to sign the contract provided for in paragraph 2 on behalf of the Commission.
In accordance with Article 80(3) of Directive 2003/85/EC the Annex to this Decision shall not be published. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 3 May 1996 authorizing Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt (96/301/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 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), as last amended by Directive 96/14/EC (2), and in particular Article 15 (3) thereof,
Whereas, where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger of the introduction into its territory of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith, the cause of potato brown rot, from a third country, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger;
Whereas France, on the basis of continued interceptions of Pseudomonas solanacearum in potatoes originating in Egypt adopted on 19 March 1996 measures to implement a ban on potatoes originating in Egypt, with a view to ensuring more efficient protection against the introduction of Pseudomonas solanacearum from Egypt into France;
Whereas Finland adopted on 4 April 1996 similar measures against the introduction of that organism into Finland;
Whereas Spain and Denmark subsequently adopted such measures on 16 and 22 April 1996 respectively against the introduction into their respective territories;
Whereas, based on the experiences gained during the current import season, and information gathered from the Egyptian authorities during a recent mission in Egypt, it becomes apparent that the current provisions concerning the 'area freedom` requirement are not sufficient to protect the Community adequately and that additional measures are necessary, whereby under the provisions of the safeguard measures it is appropriate to take into consideration the Egyptian potato production system and the current stage of the production season;
Whereas therefore the concepts of 'basin` for the Desert production area and of 'village` for the Delta production area should be used as reference for the areas in which Pseudomonas solanacearum is not known to occur;
Whereas, moreover, there should also be an indication of the basin/village coding system for the identification of areas, qualified for the production of potatoes for export to the Community, on both the labels and the required phytosanitary certificates;
Whereas, if it becomes apparent that the additional measures referred to in Article 1 of this Decision, are not sufficient to prevent the entry of Pseudomonas solanacearum or have not been complied with, more stringent or alternative measures should be envisaged;
Whereas the aforesaid imminent danger has justified the adoption of additional emergency measures by Member States;
Whereas, however, these additional emergency measures should be brought into line with Community safeguard measures;
Whereas the effects of the additional measures will be assessed continually, and subsequent measures applicable to the introduction of potatoes originating in Egypt, including requirements for more intensive testing in Egypt, in the forthcoming season will be examined in the light of the results of that assessment, by 30 November 1996 at the latest;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., other than those intended for planting, which originate in Egypt, may be introduced into the territory of the Community, but only if, in addition to the special requirement laid down in Annex IV, Part A, Section I, point 25.8 of Directive 77/93/EEC, the measures as laid down in the Annex of this Decision are complied with. The additional measures specified in 2 (a) and (b) of the Annex shall apply only to consignments leaving Egypt after the Commission has informed Egypt of these measures.
The importing Member States shall provide the Commission and the other Member States, before 30 November 1996, with information on the amounts imported pursuant to this Decision and with a detailed technical report on the official examination referred to in point 3 of the Annex; copies of each plant health certificate shall be transmitted to the Commission.
The Member States shall adjust the measures which they have adopted with a view to protecting themselves against the introduction and spread of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith in such a manner that the measures comply with Article 1.
This Decision shall be reviewed by 30 November 1996 at the latest.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), and in particular Articles 14 (3) and 21a (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of poultry and hatching eggs(2), and in particular Articles 21(1), 23(1) and 26(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultrymeat(3), and in particular Articles 9(1) and 11(1)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(1) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(4), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/45/EC of 16 June 1992 on public health and animal health problems relating to the killing of wild game and the placing on the market of wild game meat(5), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(6), and in particular Article 8(1) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 95/233/EC(7) lists in principle third countries from which Member States are authorised to import live poultry and hatching eggs including ratites and eggs thereof.
(2) Commission Decision 96/482/EC(8) lays down more detailed rules for the importation of live poultry and hatching eggs and the relevant animal health certificates.
(3) Commission Decision 2001/751/EC(9) lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of live ratites and hatching eggs from third countries including animal health measures to be applied after such importation, and lists the third countries from where such imports may be authorised.
(4) Consolidated evidence including: freedom from disease affecting poultry; poultry disease surveillance and monitoring programmes; the development of appropriate contingency plans for poultry diseases; and, the development of the veterinary acquis in regard to general veterinary legislation and legislation in the poultry sector in advance of EU accession, has demonstrated that Estonia, Malta, Latvia and Lithuania have sufficiently well structured and organised veterinary services regarding the animal health status for live poultry and ratites.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to add Lithuania, Estonia and Malta to the list of third countries that are, in principle, authorised to import live poultry and hatching eggs including ratites and eggs as laid down in Commission Decision 95/233/EC.
(6) Commission Decision 96/482/EC and Commission Decision 2001/751/EC should also be amended to include Estonia, Malta, Latvia and Lithuania.
(7) Commission Decision 94/85/EC(10) establishes a list of third countries from which importation of fresh poultry meat is authorised.
(8) Commission Decision 94/984/EC(11) lays down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultry meat from third countries.
(9) Commission Decision 2000/609/EC(12) establishes animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat.
(10) Because of the improved animal health status of the Acceding States in relation to poultry, Estonia should be added to the list of third countries that are, in principle, authorised to import fresh poultrymeat into the EU as laid down in Commission Decision 94/85/EC. This will also allow Estonia to be authorised to import wild feathered game meat as laid down in Commission Decision 94/86/EC(13).
(11) It is also appropriate to include Estonia, Malta and Latvia in Commission Decision 94/984/EC for the importation of fresh poultrymeat, and in Commission Decision 2000/609/EC for the importation of live ratites and hatching eggs.
(12) Commission Decision 2000/585/EC(14) lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certifications for import of wild and farmed game meat and rabbit meat from third countries. In order to take account of the improved health status of the Acceding States, Malta should be added to the list of authorised third countries, and the existing third country lists and the specific conditions under which wild and farmed game meat and rabbit meat can be imported into the EU from other Acceding States should also be updated.
(13) Commission Decision 97/222/EC(15) establishes a list of third countries or parts of third countries from which the importation of meat products is authorised.
(14) Certain Acceding States continue to present an animal health risk associated with Classical Swine Fever in wild boar populations. In order to reflect both this but also the improved animal health status in the Acceding States, Commission Decision 97/222/EC should be amended.
(15) It is opportune, where appropriate, to update certain country names, ISO codes and regionalisation definitions.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) All the specific definitions of operative events for the exchange rates for calculations provided for by the mechanisms of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(2) should be collated in a single Regulation.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 has made a number of changes to the aids available to producers' organisations, in particular the introduction of the operational programmes and amendments to the private storage aid mechanisms. The previous implementing regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 3516/93(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 963/1999(4), does not have provisions on exchange rates to be applied for these new mechanisms. For these reasons, Regulation (EC) No 3516/93 should be replaced by this Regulation.
(3) The revised agrimonetary arrangements outlined in Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 support the need to replace Regulation (EC) No 3516/93 since references to the agrimonetary conversion rate are no longer applicable.
(4) The operative events for financial compensation and carry-over aid should be consistent with the operative events for withdrawal prices and other amounts involved in their calculation.
(5) The possibility for producers' organisations to use a margin of tolerance in the application of the withdrawal price and other prices in the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products is constrained by the necessity of informing the Member State the level of the modified price at least two days before it is due to become applicable. Producers' organisations must therefore know the exchange rate for these prices in advance of the period for which it is to be applicable in order that they can meet this obligation to inform the competent authorities in advance. The operative event must be set before the period of its application.
(6) An operative event should be introduced for the financial compensation for the operational programmes. This should be the first day of the fishing year so that the producers' organisation can know the level of aid in advance.
(7) An operative event should be established for the rate of exchange to be applied to the different prices notified to the Commission in the context of the common organisation of the market. This operative event must correspond to a single day of the period for which the price is calculated. Since practical use is made of this information a posteriori, the operative event should be established as the last day of the period for which the price is calculated.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
This Regulation establishes the operative events for the exchange rates to be used for the mechanisms laid down in Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.
The exchange rate to be used shall be the rate most recently fixed by the European Central Bank (ECB) prior to the operative event as set out in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98(5).
For the fisheries sector, the operative event for the exchange rate for the withdrawal price and for the amounts linked to that price, which are listed in Annex I, shall be the 22nd day of the month before the operation took place.
The operative event for the exchange rate applicable to the financial compensation provided for in Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be the 22nd day of the month before the operation took place.
The operative event for the exchange rate applicable to the carry-over aid provided for in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, to the flat-rate aid provided for in Article 24(4) of the same Regulation and to the private storage aid provided for in Article 25 of the same Regulation shall be the 22nd day of the month before the stored products were withdrawn.
The operative event for the exchange rate applicable to the financial compensation for operational programmes as provided for in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be the first day of the fishing year for which the operational programme was established.
The operative event for the exchange rate applicable to the compensatory allowance for tuna for canning provided for in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be the second day of the month the product is delivered.
In all cases where an advance may be granted in respect of measure provided for in Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the operative event for the exchange rate shall be the event corresponding to the measure taken, as set out in Articles 2 to 6.
The exchange rate applicable to average market prices notified under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2210/93(6) shall be the exchange rate in force on the last day of the period for which the price is calculated.
Regulation (EC) No 3516/93 is hereby repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation (EC) No 3516/93 shall be construed as referring to this Regulation and should be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

31987D0532 | 87/532/EEC: Council Decision of 26 October 1987 on the extension of legal protection of topographies of semiconductor products in respect of persons from certain countries and territories
| COUNCIL DECISION
of 26 October 1987
on the extension of legal protection of topographies of semiconductor products in respect of persons from certain countries and territories
(87/532/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 87/54/EEC of 16 December 1986 on the legal protection of topographies of semiconductor products (1), and in particular Article 3 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the right to protection of topographies of semiconductor products in the Community applies to persons qualifying for protection under Article 3 (1) to (5) of Directive 87/54/EEC;
Whereas the right to protection can be extended, by a Council Decision, to persons who do not benefit from protection under the said provisions;
Whereas the extension of protection should, as far as possible, be decided for the Community as a whole;
Whereas it seems appropriate to extend protection on an interim basis in the case of certain countries and territories, whilst extension to other countries and territories is under consideration;
Whereas one of the factors this Decision is based on is the consideration that the countries or territories which have an appropriate legislation will continue to protect topographies of semiconductor products under their national law and make this protection available to those persons from the Member States of the Community who benefit from the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC;
Whereas the other factor on which this Decision is based is the consideration that countries or territories which do not yet have appropriate legislation will provide one and will make it accessible to persons from the Member States of the Community benefiting from the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC,
Member States shall extend the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC in favour of natural persons who are nationals of a country or territory listed in the Annex or who have their habitual residence on the territory of one of those countries or territories.
This extension shall also apply to companies or other legal persons of a country or territory listed in the Annex which have a real and effective industrial or commercial establishment in such a country or territory, subject to the condition that companies or other legal persons of a Member State which have a right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC benefit from protection in the country or territory in question.
The countries and territories listed in the Annex which satisfy the conditions laid down in the second paragraph shall be determined by the Commission and communicated to the Member States.
This Decision shall apply from 7 November 1987.
Member States shall extend the right to protection under this Decision in favour of the persons referred to in Article 1 until 7 November 1990.
Any exclusive rights acquired under this Decision shall continue to produce their effect for the period laid down under Directive 87/54/EEC.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
