THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. In view of the strict nature of those rules, transitional measures have been granted.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2003 of 12 May 2003 on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the processing standards for Category 3 material and manure used in composting plants (2), allows time for the industry to adjust and develop alternative processing standards for Category 3 material and manure used in composting plants until 31 December 2004.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 810/2003 of 12 May 2003 on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards processing standards for Category 3 material and manure used in biogas plants (3), allows time for the industry to adjust and develop alternative processing standards for Category 3 material and manure used in biogas plants until 31 December 2004.
(4) The Commission has asked for an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to enable laying down alternative processing standards for composting and biogas plants. The EFSA opinion is expected at the end of 2004. Pending the EFSA opinion, Member States and operators have asked the Commission to extend the validity of the transitional measures provided for in Regulations (EC) No 809/2003 and (EC) No 810/2003 in order to avoid any disruption of trade.
(5) The transitional measures provided for in Regulations (EC) No 809/2003 and (EC) No 810/2003 should therefore be extended for a further period of time to enable the Member States to authorise operators to continue to apply national rules for the processing standards for Category 3 materials and manure used in composting and biogas plants.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 1(1), Article 3(2) and Article 4, of Regulation (EC) No 809/2003, ‘31 December 2004’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2005’.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 75/271/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (France) (3), as last amended by the Commission Decision 85/599/EEC (4), identifies the areas in France included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the French Government has applied, under Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, for an adjustment of the boundaries of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 75/271/EEC;
Whereas the transfer of certain areas already listed as areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC to the list of the areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of the same Directive is in accordance with the indices and the values, including the criteria for exceptions, used in Directive 75/271/EEC to define mountain areas;
Whereas the totality of the adjustments requested by the French Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC do not lead to an increase of the utilized agricultural areas of all the listed areas and consequently have no effect on the limit fixed in the said Article;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
With effect from the Winter feeding period 1985/86, the list of less-favoured areas in France contained in the Annex to Directive 75/271/EEC is hereby amended as shown in the Annex to this Decision.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 606/82
of 16 March 1982
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
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),
Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 192/82 (4), lays down a compensation system for storage costs consisting of flat-rate reimbursements financed by means of levies; whereas this system, under special provisions, applies equally to preferential sugar imported into or refined in the Community under the terms of Protocol 7 on ACP sugar annexed to the second ACP-EEC Convention of Lomé (5), the Agreement with India (6), and Decision 80/1186/EEC (7);
Whereas one of the objectives of the compensation system for storage costs is to help stabilize the Community market in sugar by adjusting releases to the market throughout the year according to demand; whereas experience shows that deliveries of preferential sugar are spread uniformly over the marketing year and that this results in a very short average storage period for this sugar; whereas, therefore, it is no longer justified to continue to apply the said system to preferential sugar, particularly in view of the management costs henceforth involved for the Member States concerned; whereas provision should accordingly be made to suspend the said system for a specified period, to re-examine the situation before the end of that period, and to assess the consequences of that suspension;
Whereas the said system is based essentially on the principle of equalization of reimbursement and levy for each marketing year; whereas if, in a given marketing year, the sum of levies charged is not equal to the sum of reimbursements made, the difference must be carried forward to a subsequent marketing year; whereas an analysis of the data relating to the system which is to be suspended indicates that there will probably be such a difference at the beginning of the period of suspension; whereas in this respect provision should be made for the non-application, under certain conditions, of this principle to preferential sugar,
The following paragraph shall be inserted in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81:
'2a. Without prejudice to the application of Article 12 to preferential sugar, paragraph 2 shall not apply to this sugar for the marketing years 1982/83 to 1984/85.
In the calculation of the amount of the levy applicable to the said sugar, and by way of derogation from the financing principle referred to in paragraph 1, the total estimated reimbursements for the 1985/86 marketing year shall be reduced by the negative balance on 30 June 1982 resulting from the application of paragraph 2 to preferential sugar up to an amount of 2;045 million ECU.'
The following point shall be added to Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81:
'(c) before 1 May 1985, and on the basis of a report by the Commission, examine the consequences of the application of paragraph 2a and shall, if necessary, adopt the appropriate measures.'
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 27 September 1993 amending Decision 92/491/EEC on the clearance of the accounts presented by Spain and Italy in respect of the expenditure for 1989 of the EAGGF, Guarantee Section (Only the Spanish and Italian texts are authentic)
(93/524/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 (EEC) No 2048/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas, by Commission Decision 92/491/EEC (3), amounts relating to the additional levy, totalling Pta 23 419 800 000 for Spain and Lit 896 844 000 000 for Italy, which should have been paid in the milk and milk products sector, were disallowed; whereas the said amounts were charged to Spain and Italy under the Decision in question; whereas the information available to the Commission at the time did not enable it to establish exactly the aforementioned financial corrections; whereas it reserved itself the option of amending the financial corrections under a subsequent clearance of accounts decision;
Whereas the Council, at its 1631st meeting, noted the efforts being made by Italy to resolve the problem of compliance with the milk quota system and agreed to consider an increase in the Italian national guarantee quantity of 0,9 million tonnes of milk and to provide Community finance for a programme for the repurchase of reference quantities on the same terms as were already envisaged for Spain and Greece;
Whereas following Council Regulation (EEC) No 1560/93 (4) increasing the reference quantities for Italy and Spain, an amendment of Decision 92/491/EEC is necessary; whereas the increase decided by the Council was only justified by objective reasons follwoing a detailed analysis and a re-evaluation of the statistics which formed the basis for the allocation of the global quantities; whereas the objective reasons do not concern only the marketing year 1993/94; whereas the Council also decided to finance part of the repurchase programmes in Italy and Spain, and that financing should be taken into account in calculating the financial correction;
Whereas the Commission reserves the possibility to apply a financial correction during the course of a subsequent clearance of accounts corresponding to the total excess deliveries where the effective implementation of the milk quota system in Spain and Italy within the time limit set by the Council is not confirmed by its examinations; whereas this Decision is nonetheless immediately applicable;
Whereas the Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC should therefore be amended in respect of Spain and Italy,
The Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC is replaced by the Annex hereto in respect of Spain and Italy.
The amounts of Pta 18 682 814 753 payable to Spain and Lit 722 577 528 000 payable to Italy shall be taken into account as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (5) for the first fortnight of October 1993.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 40(1)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 (2) lays down that Member States must make a series of communications to the Commission concerning the quantities of industrial raw material delivered for processing. In order to prevent those quantities being counted twice and to ensure that the rules are applied in a uniform manner in all the Member States concerned, detailed rules should be laid down for those communications.
(2) The combined nomenclature codes of the syrups for spreading and for the production of ‘Rinse appelstroop’ given in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 must be stated more precisely so as to ensure that point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 concerning those products is applied correctly.
(3) Experience gained since the implementation of the new provisions, following the sugar reform, concerning the use of industrial sugar by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries shows the need to add hair-removal waxes falling within CN code 3307 90 00 and fabric softeners falling within CN code 3809 91 00 to the list of products given in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 967/2006.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 should therefore be amended.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 is amended as follows:
1. Article 10 is replaced by the following:
(a) by the end of May, of the quantity of industrial raw material delivered between the previous 1 October and 31 March by the manufacturers it has approved;
(b) by the end of November for the previous marketing year:
— of the quantity of industrial raw material delivered by the manufacturers it has approved, broken down into white sugar, raw sugar, sugar syrup and isoglucose,
— the quantity of industrial raw material for which the processors it has approved have supplied the proof referred to in Article 9(2), broken down into white sugar, raw sugar, sugar syrup and isoglucose, on the one hand, and into the products referred to in the Annex, on the other,
— the quantity of sugar delivered pursuant to Article 7(3) by the manufacturers it has approved.’

(2) Decision 2002/69/EC was to be reviewed on the basis of the information provided by the Chinese competent authorities, of any results from the increased monitoring and testing carried out by Member States on consignments arriving before 14 March 2002 and, if necessary, of the results of an on-the-spot inspection visit by Community experts.
(3) In view of the favourable results of the tests carried out on certain fishery products of some fish species imported from China, it is appropriate to discontinue the reinforced tests carried out on these products.
(4) However, in view of the continuing unfavourable results of tests carried out on casings imported from China, it is appropriate for the time being to maintain the reinforced tests carried out on these products.
(5) It is appropriate to ensure a rapid implementation to avoid a disruption of these re-enforced tests on casings.
(6) Decision 2002/69/EC should, therefore be amended accordingly.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 46 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 permits the addition of tartaric acid to the wine products concerned.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 of 24 July 2000 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine and establishing a Community code of oenological practices and processes(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2066/2001(4), lays down, in particular, restrictions and requirements pertaining to the use of certain substances authorised by Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(3) Tartaric acid, also called L-tartaric acid, and its salts are the only substances permitted for the purposes of acidification and deacidification of wine products as they occur naturally in grapes and wine.
(4) The International Vine and Wine Office adopted, in June 2000, a resolution updating in the International Oenological Codex the monograph laying down the identifying characteristics and purity specifications of L-tartaric acid which may be used in wine-making, which defines tartaric acid as "a natural acid extracted from grapes". These purity criteria are more complete but nevertheless correspond to those laid down in Commission Directive 96/77/EC of 2 December 1996 laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners(5), as last amended by Directive 2002/82/EC(6).
(5) To ensure a high degree of quality, and in particular to preserve the authenticity and the natural character of wine in compliance with good oenological practice, the requirement that tartaric acid which may be used in wine-making must be of agricultural origin, taking account of the specifications of the International Vine and Wine Office's International Oenological Codex, should be incorporated into Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The following paragraph is added to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000:"Tartaric acid, the use of which is provided for in Annex IV(1)(l) and (m) and Annex IV(3)(k) and (l) to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, also called L-tartaric acid, must be of agricultural origin and extracted specifically from wine products. It must also comply with the purity criteria laid down in Commission Directive 96/77/EC(7)."

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the general socio-economic situation in the less-favoured agricultural areas of Belgium within the meaning of Directive 75/269/EEC (2) is particularly unfavourable ; whereas improvement of this situation requires that the available funds and measures should be brought together and implemented in an integrated manner;
Whereas the Community has at its disposal sources of action arising from its financing possibilities, notably from the European Social Fund and from the European Regional Development Fund ; whereas it is suitable, taking account of the situation in that region, to supplement these measures by the intervention of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund under a common measure within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (4);

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 health claims made on foods are prohibited unless they are authorised by the Commission in accordance with that Regulation and included in a list of permitted claims.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also provides that applications for authorisations of health claims may be submitted by food business operators to the national competent authority of a Member State. The national competent authority is to forward valid applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as ‧the Authority‧.
(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission thereof, and to deliver an opinion on the health claim concerned.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) Following an application from SVUS Pharma a.s, submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of ProteQuine®, a mixture of free amino acids, oligopeptides and nucleotides on increase of suppressed concentrations of secretory immunoglobulin A (ScIgA) and reduction of the risk of influenza and common cold (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-397) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: "ProteQuine® elevates/maintains the level of ScIgA on mucous membranes. Decreased or insufficient level of ScIgA is a risk factor in the development of common cold or influenza".
(6) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 13 April 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of ProteQuine® and increasing suppressed concentrations of ScIgA and reducing the risk of common cold and influenza. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(7) Following an application from SVUS Pharma a.s, submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of ProteQuine®, a mixture of free amino acids, oligopeptides and nucleotides, and bovine lactoferrin on increase of suppressed concentrations of secretory immunoglobulin A (ScIgA) and reduction of the risk of common cold with sore throat (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-398) (3). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: "ProteQuine® in combination with bovine lactoferrin elevates/maintains the level of ScIgA on mucous membranes. Decreased or insufficient level of ScIgA is a risk factor in the development of common cold with sore throat and combination of ProteQuine® with bovine lactoferrin reduces the risk of the development of sore throat".
(8) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 13 April 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of ProteQuine® and bovine lactoferrin and increasing suppressed concentrations of ScIgA and reduction of the risk of common cold with sore throat. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(9) Following an application from CSL - Centro Sperimentale del Latte S.p.A., submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of a combination of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strain AY/CSL (LMG P-17224) and Streptococcus thermophilus strain 9Y/CSL (LMG P-17225) on beneficial modulation of intestinal microflora (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-273) (4). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: "Maintaining the gut health by normalizing the intestinal flora".
(10) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 20 July 2011 that a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of the combination of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strain AY/CSL (LMG P-17224) and S. thermophilus strain 9Y/CSL (LMG P-17225) and a beneficial physiological effect related to the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(11) Following an application from the European Dietetic Food Industry Association (IDACE), submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of beta-palmitate on increased calcium absorption (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-172) (5). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded, inter alia, as follows: "Beta palmitate enrichment contributes to increase calcium absorption".
(12) On the basis of the data presented, the Authority concluded in its opinion received by the Commission and the Member States on 28 July 2011 that the evidence provided was insufficient to establish a cause and effect relationship between the consumption of beta-palmitate and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(13) In accordance with Article 28(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, health claims referred to in its Article 14(1)(b) and not authorised by a decision pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 may continue to be used for six months after the adoption of this Regulation, provided an application was made before 19 January 2008. Accordingly, the transition period laid down in that Article is applicable to the health claim relevant to beta-palmitate listed in the Annex of this Regulation.
(14) As the health claim application relevant to Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strain AY/CSL (LMG P-17224) and Streptococcus thermophilus strain 9Y/CSL (LMG P-17225) was not made before 19 January 2008, the requirement provided for in Article 28(6)(b) is not fulfilled, and the transition period laid down in that Article is not applicable.
(15) However, in order to ensure that this Regulation is fully complied with, both food business operators and the national competent authorities should take the necessary actions to ensure that, at the latest six months following the entry into force of this Regulation, the health claims listed in its Annex that have been submitted pursuant to Article 14(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 are no longer used.
(16) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
1. The health claims listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall not be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
2. However, health claims as referred to in Article 14(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and referred to in paragraph 1 used prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be used for a maximum period of six months after the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3950/86 (5), authorized the conclusion of long-term private storage contracts for table wine in respect of the 1986/87 wine-growing year;
Whereas the quantities of table wine in stock are large for the time of year; whereas this is due to the fact that stocks during the current wine-growing year are in some regions substantially higher than can be disposed of through the normal market outlets; whereas the forecasts for the coming harvest give little hope of relief of the market;
Whereas the wine under storage contracts is stored on containers which may be required to store the next harvest;
Whereas, in order that producers may store their next vintage under normal conditions, aid should be granted for the re-storage of table wine, subject to a limitation as to distance;
Whereas , in order to ensure that the measure operates correctly, provisions should also be adopted in respect of the nature of the transport and the date of submission of the application;
Whereas, since there is little time for administrative implementation and since the quantities involved are often small and the transport costs minimal by comparison with total costs, a standard amount of aid should be fixed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman
1. On application and subject to the conditions laid down in Article 2, aid may be granted for the re-storage, in another location and another place of storage belonging to a third party, who himself does not apply for re-storage aid, of table wine covered by a storage contract concluded under Regulation (EEC) No 3950/86 in accordance with the rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83.
2. In accordance with Article 47 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 producers who in the course of the 1986/87 wine year were subject to obligations under Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall not be entitled to benefit from the measures provided for in this Regulation unless they provide evidence that they have fulfilled their obligations during the reference periods laid down in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2672/86 (6), Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2705/86 (7) and Article 22 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 854/86 (8).
Aid may be granted only where:
- the distance to the new place of storage is not greater than 150 kilometres; however, where storage capacity is not available within this distance and in the case of ransport by sea, the intervention agency may authorize transport to the nearest appropriate place of storage,
- re-storage takes place between 1 August and 31 October 1987 and the transport is carried out, following receipt of the authorization referred to in Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83, in one or more vehicles,
- applications for aid and supporting documents in respect of the aid are submitted not later than 15 December 1987 to the intervention agency of the Member State concerned.
The aid for all table wines ahall be 1,45 ECU per hectolitre.
The intervention agency shall pay the aid to the producer not later than four months after the submission of the application for aid of the supporting documents referred to in the last indent of Article 2.
The amounts set out in Article 3 shall be converted into national currencies using the agricultural conversion rate applicable for the sector on 1 August 1986.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure the necessary controls; they shall, in particular, check that the re-storage of the wine has actually taken place.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission not later than 31 January 1988 of the quantities of wine which have been re-stored.

32004D0231 | 2004/231/EC: Commission Decision of 8 March 2004 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the United States of America
| Commission Decision
of 8 March 2004
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the United States of America
(2004/231/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 4 November 2002, the Commission received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping by imports of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the United States of America.
(2) The complaint was lodged by the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries (Eurofer) acting on behalf of Community producers representing a major proportion of the total Community production of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products pursuant to Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the basic Regulation).
(3) The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(4) The Commission, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2), accordingly initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products, i.e. chromium-ferritic steel, containing less than 0,15 % of carbon and 10,5 % or more and 18 % or less of chromium, flat-rolled, not further worked than cold-rolled, of stainless steel containing by weight less than 2,5 % of nickel in the standardised grades AISI 409/409L (EN 1.4512), AISI 441 (EN 1.4509) and AISI 439 (EN 1.4510) currently classifiable within CN codes ex 7219 31 00, ex 7219 32 90, ex 7219 33 90, ex 7219 34 90, ex 7219 35 90, ex 7220 20 29, ex 7220 20 49 and ex 7220 20 89 and originating in the United States of America.
(5) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1611/2003(3) (the provisional Regulation), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty amounting to 20,6 % for the sole cooperating exporting producer (exporting producer) and a residual duty of 25,0 % on imports of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the United States of America.
(6) Following the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties, the parties received a disclosure of the facts and considerations on which the provisional Regulation was based. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to this disclosure.
(7) The oral and written comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and, where appropriate, taken into account for the definitive findings.
(8) Additional verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies related to the cooperating USA exporting producer:
- AK Steel, SARL (France),
- AK Steel GmbH (Germany).
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(9) By a letter of 27 January 2004 to the Commission, Eurofer formally withdrew its complaint.
(10) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(11) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(12) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the United States of America should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures.
(13) Any duties provisionally secured on the basis of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1611/2003 should be released,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain stainless steel cold-rolled flat products, currently classifiable within CN codes ex 7219 31 00, ex 7219 32 90, ex 7219 33 90, ex 7219 34 90, ex 7219 35 90, ex 7220 20 29, ex 7220 20 49 and ex 7220 20 89 and originating in the United States of America, is hereby terminated.
Regulation (EC) No 1611/2003 is hereby repealed.
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1611/2003 shall be released.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Annex IX to Decision 80/1186/EEC provides that rum, arrack and tafia shall be imported into the Community free of customs duties within the limits of a Community tariff quota;
Whereas the Community has established by Decision 86/47/EEC (3), arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) on the other; whereas this Decision provides for the application by the two Member States of the particular provisions concerning the quota duties to be applied on imports of products originating in the OCT;
Whereas the annual size of the quota is to be fixed on the basis of a basic annual quantity, calculated in hectolitres of pure alcohol, equal to the amount of imports during the best of the past three years for which statistics are available; whereas to this quantity a certain growth rate is applied; whereas this growth rate should be fixed at 27 %; whereas the quota period ranges from 1 July to 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Community statistics for the years 1983 to 1985 show the highest volume of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in the said countries and territories, namely 13 306 hectolitres of pure alcohol, occurred in 1983; whereas the volume of the Community tariff quota for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987 should therefore be fixed at 16 899 hectolitres of pure alcohol;

France: 4,02
Ireland: 4,02
Italy: 1,95

United Kingdom: 7,69
Whereas the development of imports into the Community of these products should be recorded and imports accordingly monitored;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the share allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987, rum, arrack and tafia falling within subheading 22.09 C I of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the countries and territories referred to in Article 1 of Decision 80/1186/EEC shall be imported free of customs duty into the Community within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 16 899 hectolitres of pure alcohol.

1. In accordance with Article 6 of Annex IX to Decision 80/1186/EEC, the Community shall monitor imports of the products in question originating in the said countries and territories.
2. Member States shall forward to the Commission, not later than the 15th day of each month, statements of imports of the products in question actually charged against the tariff quota during the preceding month.

3. The Commission shall regularly inform the Member States of the extent to which the tariff quota has been used up.

Whereas the total amount of national expenditure for these measures amounts to 74 million ECU; whereas the Community contribution towards the financing of these measures should be determined,
The Community contribution to the financing of national aids granted by the Netherlands authorities to compensate for the fall in farm income due to the revaluation of the representative rate for the Dutch guilder provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 855/84, shall be fixed at 16,5 million ECU in 1985 and 13,5 million ECU in 1986.

(1) Whereas outbreaks of bluetongue have occurred in Bulgaria in the regions of Bourgas, Jambol and Hasskovo; whereas protective measures were adopted by Commission Decision 1999/542/EC(3) with regard to imports of certain animals from Bulgaria due to an outbreak of bluetongue;
(2) Whereas the epidemic has continued to spread since the first outbreaks and the available epidemiological data do not give any reason to hope for a change in this situation;
(3) Whereas the spread of this disease in this part of Eastern Europe represents a threat to the Community and must be stopped;
(4) Whereas vaccination is the only means of combating the spread of the epidemic; whereas it also helps limit mortality in flocks in the affected areas;
(5) Whereas, therefore, Bulgaria's efforts to eradicate the disease should be supported in accordance with Article 8 of Decision 90/424/EEC;

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Directive 2003/31/EC (2) iprodione was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) When applying for the inclusion of iprodione its sole notifier Bayer submitted data on uses as fungicide which supported the overall conclusion that it may be expected that plant protection products containing iprodione will fulfil the safety requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) In addition to that use, another notifier Devgen has applied for an amendment to allow iprodione to be used as nematicide. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier Devgen submitted additional information.
(4) France has evaluated the information submitted and informed the Commission on 12 January 2010 about its conclusions that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for iprodione in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. In particular, France has prepared several addenda to the assessment report in the concerned areas of the risk assessment, whose conclusions confirm the acceptability of such extension of use.
(5) Therefore, it is justified to modify the specific provisions for iprodione.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 November 2006.

Whereas Article 3 of Council Directive 64/54/EEC of 5 November 1963 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the preservatives authorized for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (4), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, requires that Member States shall authorize the smoking of certain foodstuffs only in smoke produced from wood or woody plants in the natural state and that such smoking should not create any risk to human health;
Whereas Article 5 of Directive 64/54/EEC permits Member States to authorize until 31 December 1980 the use of liquid smoke solutions;
Whereas liquid smoke solutions are used primarily for their flavouring properties ; whereas they may have a subsidiary preservative property;
Whereas investigations are taking place in several Member States on the toxicological acceptability and on the precise technological function of liquid smoke solutions ; whereas similar investigations are being carried out on the practice of smoking of foodstuffs ; whereas the situation must be reviewed in the light of these investigations;
Whereas it is therefore not yet possible to take final decisions as to whether or not the use of liquid smoke solutions should be authorized within the Community nor as to the manner in which this authorization should be brought about ; whereas the practice of smoking of foodstuffs should be re-examined at Community level;
Whereas Directive 64/54/EEC also permits Member States to maintain the provisions of their national laws relating to the use of formaldehyde in Grana Padano cheese subject to a re-examination of this derogation by the Commission;
Whereas this provision should be maintained for a further period of three years,
Directive 64/54/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 3
Member States may authorize the smoking ofcertain foodstuffs only in smoke, or liquid solutionsof smoke, produced from wood or woodyplants in the natural state, excluding wood orplants which have been impregnated, coloured,gummed or painted or treated in a similar mannerand provided that such smoking does notcreate any risk to human health."

2. In Article 5, paragraphs 2 and 3(b) shall bedeleted and paragraph 3 (a) shall become paragraph2.
Within three years following notification of this Directive the Commission shall re-examine the provisions of Article 1 and shall propose any necessary amendments to the Council.
Article 1 shall take effect from 1 January 1981.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 July 1981 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999 of 29 June 1999 amending Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture and amending the definition of certain operative events provided for in Regulations (EEC) No 3889/87, (EEC) No 3886/92, (EEC) No 1793/93, (EEC) No 2700/93 and (EC) No 293/98(2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1793/93 of 30 June 1993 regarding the operative event for the agricultural conversion rates used in the hops sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999, lays down that the conversion rate to be applied for the purposes of the aid for hops provided for in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1514/2001(5), is the average of the conversion rates applicable during the month before 1 July of the year of harvest, calculated pro rata temporis.
(2) The operative event for the conversion rate applicable to aid per hectare is the start of the marketing year in respect of which the aid is granted, as laid down in Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2452/2000(7). The operative event for the conversion rate applicable to aid for arable crops and grain legumes is, therefore, 1 July 2002.
(3) Under Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98, as introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999, the conversion rate to be applied to aid per hectare is the average of the exchange rates applicable during the month preceding the date of the operative event, calculated pro rata temporis,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 944/2006
of 26 June 2006
opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for certain wine in Italy
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 33(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for the possibility of a crisis distillation measure in the event of exceptional market disturbance due to major surpluses. Such measures may be limited to certain categories of wine and/or certain areas of production, and may apply to quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr) at the request of the Member State concerned.
(2) By letter of 14 April 2006, the Italian Government requested that crisis distillation be opened for table wine produced in Italy and for certain quality wines psr.
(3) Considerable surpluses have been recorded on the market in table wine and certain quality wines psr in Italy, which are reflected in a fall in prices and a worrying rise in stocks towards the end of the current marketing year. In order to reverse this negative trend, and so remedy the difficult market situation, stocks of Italian wine should be reduced to a level that can be regarded as normal in terms of covering market requirements.
(4) Since the conditions laid down in Article 30(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 are satisfied, a crisis distillation measure should be opened for a maximum of 2 500 000 hectolitres of table wine and 100 000 hectolitres of certain quality wines psr.
(5) The crisis distillation opened by this Regulation must comply with the conditions laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) as regards the distillation measure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. Other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 must also apply, in particular those concerning the delivery of alcohol to intervention agencies and the payment of advances.
(6) The price distillers must pay producers should be set at a level that permits the market disturbance to be dealt with by allowing producers to take advantage of the possibility afforded by this measure.
(7) The product of crisis distillation must be raw or neutral alcohol only, for compulsory delivery to the intervention agency in order to avoid disturbing the market for potable alcohol, which is supplied largely by the distillation provided for in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby opened for a maximum of 2 500 000 hectolitres of table wine and 100 000 hectolitres of quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr) with the appellations Barbera d’Asti, Barbera Monferrato, Piemonte Barbera, Dolcetto d’Ovada, Dolcetto d’Acqui, Dolcetto d’Asti, Monferrato Dolcetto, Grignolino d’Asti and Piemonte Grignolino, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 concerning this type of distillation.
Producers may conclude contracts as provided for in Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 (hereinafter referred to as contracts) from 3 July 2006 to 24 July 2006 in the case of table wine and from 3 July 2006 to 14 July 2006 in the case of quality wines psr.
Contracts shall be accompanied by proof that a security equal to EUR 5 per hectolitre has been lodged.
Contracts may not be transferred.
1. If the total quantities covered by the contracts submitted to the intervention agency exceed the quantities laid down in Article 1, Italy shall determine the rates of reduction to be applied to those contracts.
2. Italy shall take the administrative steps necessary to approve the contracts not later than 13 September 2006 in the case of table wine and 28 July 2006 in the case of quality wines psr. The approval shall specify any rate of reduction applied and the quantity of wine accepted per contract and shall stipulate that the producer may cancel the contract where the quantity to be distilled is reduced.
Italy shall notify the Commission before 20 September 2006 in the case of table wine and 25 August 2006 in the case of quality wines psr of the quantities of wine covered by approved contracts.
3. Italy may limit the number of contracts that individual producers may conclude under this Regulation.
1. The quantities of wine covered by approved contracts shall be delivered to the distilleries not later than 15 December 2006 in the case of table wine and 31 August 2006 in the case of quality wines psr. The alcohol obtained shall be delivered to the intervention agency in accordance with Article 6(1) not later than 31 March 2007 in the case of table wine and 30 September 2006 in the case of quality wines psr.
2. The security shall be released in proportion to the quantities delivered when the producer presents proof of delivery to a distillery.
The security shall be forfeit where no delivery is made within the time limit laid down in paragraph 1.
The minimum price paid for wine delivered for distillation under this Regulation shall be EUR 1,914/% vol/hl for table wine and EUR 3,00/% vol/hl for quality wines psr.
1. Distillers shall deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency. That product shall be of an alcoholic strength of at least 92 % vol.
2. The price to be paid to the distiller by the intervention agency for the raw alcohol delivered shall be EUR 2,281/% vol/hl where it is produced from table wine and EUR 3,367/% vol/hl where it is produced from quality wines psr. The payment shall be made in accordance with Article 62(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.
Distillers may receive an advance on those amounts of EUR 1,122/% vol/hl in the case of alcohol produced from table wine and EUR 2,208/% vol/hl in the case of alcohol produced from quality wines psr. In that case the advances shall be deducted from the prices actually paid. Articles 66 and 67 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 3 July 2006.

providing for the temporary marketing of certain seed potatoes not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 2002/56/EC
(notified under document number C(2009) 3392)
(2009/378/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/56/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It is stipulated in Annex I.2(c) to Directive 2002/56/EC that the number of plants showing symptoms of severe virus infection in the direct progeny must not exceed 10 %. In Sweden the quantity of available seed potatoes of the category ‘certified seed potatoes’ suitable to the national environmental conditions which satisfy the above requirement is insufficient and is therefore not adequate to meet the needs of that Member State.
(2) It is not possible to meet the demand for seed potatoes with seed potatoes from other Member States or from third countries which satisfy all the requirements laid down in Directive 2002/56/EC.
(3) Accordingly, Sweden should be authorised to permit the marketing of seed potatoes subject to less stringent requirements for a period expiring on 30 June 2009.
(4) In addition, other Member States, which are in a position to supply Sweden with seed potatoes irrespective of whether the seed potatoes were harvested in a Member State or in a third country, should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed potatoes.
(5) It is appropriate that Sweden acts as a coordinator in order to ensure that the total amount of seed potatoes authorised pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the maximum quantity covered by this Decision.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The marketing in the Community of seed potatoes of the category ‘certified seed potatoes’ which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 2002/56/EC in respect of the number of plants showing symptoms of severe virus infection in the direct progeny shall be permitted, for a period expiring on 30 June 2009, in accordance with the terms set out in the Annex to this Decision and subject to the following conditions:
(a) the number of plants showing symptoms of severe virus infection in the direct progeny of seed potatoes of the category ‘certified seed potatoes’ does not exceed the percentage set out in the Annex;
(b) the official label states the percentage of plants showing symptoms of severe virus infection in the direct progeny of seed potatoes of the category ‘certified seed potatoes’ ascertained in the official examination pursuant to Article 2(c)(iv) of Directive 2002/56/EC;
(c) seed potatoes are placed on the market in accordance with Article 2 of this Decision.
Any seed potato supplier wishing to place on the market the seed potatoes referred to in Article 1 shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which he is established or importing.
The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place those seed potatoes on the market, unless:
(a) there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able to place on the market the amount of seed potatoes for which he has applied for authorisation; or
(b) the total quantity authorised to be marketed pursuant to the derogation concerned would exceed the maximum quantity specified in the Annex.
The Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.
Sweden shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the total amount authorised does not exceed the maximum quantity specified in the Annex.
Any Member State receiving an application under Article 2 shall immediately notify the coordinating Member State of the amount covered by the application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform the notifying Member State as to whether authorisation would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities in respect of which they have granted marketing authorisation pursuant to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a co-responsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1632/91 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the market research measures within and outside the Community, first carried out pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 723/78 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1223/78 (4), and No 1024/78 (5) and most recently continued by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1001/90 (6), have proved an effective means of expanding the markets in milk products within and outside the Community; whereas they should therefore be continued in the medium term;
Whereas the research institutes, organizations and private undertakings in the Community possessing the necessary qualifications should again be invited to propose detailed research programmes which these organizations would themselves carry out;
Whereas the research institutes, organizations and private undertakings which will be responsible for the measures must satisfy certain requirements; whereas the activities of such organizations must not be liable to clash with the aim pursued in promoting the disposal of milk products for direct consumption; whereas it is therefore essential that research institutes, organizations and undertakings whose activities also cover the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products should be barred from the implementation of the measures;
Whereas, as regards the other arrangements, the main provisions of earlier Regulations, as amended in the light of relevant experience, may be repeated;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. Under the conditions laid down in this Regulation, encouragement shall be given to research work designed to expand the markets for Community milk and milk products inside and outside the Community.
Such work may include, in particular:
(a) the search for new markets or the possibility of extending existing markets outside the Community;
(b) analysis of market structures and their impact on demand for milk products;
(c) market surveys on substitutes for milk products, their composition and marketing;
(d) development of analysis and inspection methods for testing protein levels in raw milk and heat-treated milk;
(e) the development of livestock farming techniques for altering the protein/fat ratio in the natural composition of milk;
(f) research into methods of detecting cow's milk in sheep's cheese, goat's cheese and buffalo's cheese;
(g) studies concerning evaluation of heat treatment of milk;
(h) work on the integrated quality control of milk and milk products;
(i) research into methods of detecting non-milkfats in butter and other milkfat-based products as well as the dosage of milkfats in fat blends.
2. Measures liable to prejudice existing Community trade in milk products with the countries concerned shall not be taken into consideration.
3. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be completed within two years of signature of the contract referred to in Article 5 (1), in any event before 1 January 1995.
4. The time limit fixed in paragraph 3 shall not prevent:
(a) subsequent agreement to an extension of that limit where the party to a contract makes the appropriate application to the competent authority before the fixed expiry date and proves that, due to exceptional circumstances beyond his control, he is unable to meat the deadline originally stipulated. However, this extension may not exceed six months;
(b) measures as referred to in paragraph 1 (h) implemented with effect from the entry into force of this Regulation from qualifying for financing.
1. Measures as referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be proposed and carried out by research institutes, organizations or undertakings situated within the Community and which:
(a) have the necessary qualifications and experience to carry out the proposed measure;
(b) give suitable guarantees to ensure the satisfactory completion of the work.
Proposals put forward by research institutes, organizations or undertakings whose activities are exclusively or in part concerned with the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products shall not be taken into consideration.
2. Community financing shall be limited to 75 % of expenditure incurred in respect of measures as referred to in Article 1 (1).
For measures as referred to in Article 1 (1) (c), (d), (f), (g), (h) and (i), financing may be raised to 100 % if the work is of interest to the whole Community.
3. Financing of general expenses incurred in carrying out the measures referred to in Article 1 shall be limited to 2 % of the total amount approved, up to a maximum of ECU 10 000.
1. Interested parties as referred to in Article 2 (1) shall forward to the competent authority designated by their Member State, hereinafter referred to as the 'competent authority', detailed proposals concerning the measures as referred to in Article 1 (1) before 1 July 1992.
Where this date is not complied with, proposals shall be considered null and void.
2. Further rules for the submission of proposals shall be as set out in the Annex.
1. Complete proposals shall include:
(a) the name and address of the party concerned;
(b) all details concerning the research measures proposed together with information on the time required for completion, the expected results and any third parties which may be involved; the proposed research measures must be described precisely and in detail, with reference to already existing work;
(c) the price asked for these measures, net of taxes, expressed in ecus, giving an itemized breakdown of this amount and showing the corresponding financing plan; the breakdown must show in particular staff costs, investments, consumables, raw material costs, EDP costs and travel costs;
(d) the desired form of payment of the Community financing in accordance with Article 7 (1) (a) or (b);
(e) the most recent report available on the party's activities, unless this is already in the possession of the competent authority.
2. Proposals shall be valid only where:
(a) they are submitted by a party fulfilling the conditions laid down in Article 2 (1);
(b) they are accompanied by an undertaking to comply with the provisions of this Regulation and the implementation criteria laid down by the Commission departments and put at the disposal of the parties concerned by the competent authority. The implementation criteria shall be attached to the contract and form an integral part thereof.
1. Before 1 September 1992, the competent authority shall:
(a) examine all proposals submitted and any supporting documents to check that they are in the correct form and contain the information required. They shall ensure that the proposals comply with Article 4 and shall ask applicants for further details if necessary;
(b) compile a list of all the proposals received and forward it to the Commission together with copies of each proposal and a reasoned opinion indicating whether the proposal complies with the applicable rules.
After consulting the relevant interest groups in the milk industry and following examination of the proposals by the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products pursuant to Article 31 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (7), the Commission shall establish as soon as possible a list of the proposals selected for financing and determine the date by which the competent authorities shall conclude with the interested parties contracts for the measures selected.
The contracts shall be concluded in as many copies as there are signatories and shall be signed by the parties concerned and the competent authority.
For that purpose the competent authorities shall use standard contracts to be provided by the Commission.
2. The competent authorities shall inform each applicant as soon as possible of the decision taken in respect of his proposal.
1. Contracts as referred to in Article 5 (1) shall include the provisions referred to in Article 4 or make reference to them and supplement those provisions, where necessary, by additional conditions.
2. The competent authorities shall:
(a) send a copy of the contract to the Commission forthwith;
(b) ensure compliance with the conditions of the contract, in particular by means of the following checks:
- administrative checks and audits to verify the costs financed and compliance with the provisions on joint financing;
- checks to verify that measures are implemented in accordance with the provisions of the contract;
- other on-the-spot checks, where necessary.
Contracting parties must be subject to at least two inspections during the period of validity of the contract.
1. Payment to the party concerned shall be effected in accordance with the choice indicated in the latter's proposal:
(a) within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract, a single payment on account amounting to 60 % of the Community contribution; or
(b) at two-monthly intervals, four equal instalments each amounting to 20 % of the Community contribution, the first such instalment being paid within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract.
However, while a contract is being executed, the competent authority may:
- defer payment of an instalment either wholly or in part where it finds, in particular during the checks referred to in Article 6 (2), irregularities in carrying out the measures concerned or a substantial interval between the due date for payment of the instalment and the date when the party concerned actually incurs the forecast expenditure;
- in exceptional cases, pay in advance an instalment either wholly or in part if the party concerned submits a reasoned application showing that he must incur a substantial part of the expenditure significantly earlier than the date laid down for payment of the Community contribution.
2. The payment of each instalment shall be conditional upon the lodging with the competent authority of a security equal to the amount of the instalment, plus 10 %.
3. Securities shall be released and the balance shall be paid subject to:
(a) the forwarding to the Commission and to the competent authority of the report referred to in Article 8 (1) and to verification of the details contained in that report;
(b) confirmation by the competent authority that the party concerned has fulfilled his obligations as laid down in the contract; and
(c) confirmation by the competent authority that the party concerned or any third party named in the contract has spent his own contribution for the purposes laid down.

of 24 November 2006
concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States
(notified under document number C(2006) 5538)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/805/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3) introduces minimum Community measures for the control of that disease. It lays down the measures to be taken in the event of an outbreak of classical swine fever. Those measures include plans by Member States for the eradication of classical swine fever from a feral pig population and emergency vaccination of feral pigs under certain conditions.
(2) Commission Decision 2003/526/EC of 18 July 2003 concerning protection measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (4) was adopted in response to outbreaks of classical swine fever in those Member States. That Decision establishes disease control measures concerning classical swine fever in areas of those Member States where that disease is present in feral pigs in order to prevent the spread of the disease to other areas of the Community.
(3) Those Member States should take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of classical swine fever. Therefore, they submitted to the Commission eradication plans and emergency vaccination plans against that disease with the measures necessary to eradicate the disease in the areas defined in their plans as infected and with the necessary measures to be applied on the pig holdings in those areas.
(4) Given the epidemiological situation in certain areas of Germany, France and Slovakia, it is appropriate that the disease control measures concerning restrictions on the dispatch of live pigs, porcine semen and ova and embryos of swine, as provided for in Decision 2003/526/EC for those Member States, should also be laid down in the present Decision.
(5) In addition, classical swine fever has been found in Bulgaria in the feral pig population and in pigs in holdings and it is still suspected to be endemic in those populations. Accordingly, taking into account the Accession of Bulgaria provision should be made with regard to classical swine fever as from the date of Accession.
(6) Bulgaria has taken appropriate measures to control that disease in accordance with the measures provided for in Directive 2001/89/EC and has submitted a plan for the eradication of classical swine fever in feral pigs and a plan for the emergency vaccination of feral pigs in the whole territory of Bulgaria for approval by the Commission.
(7) Following the epidemiological situation of the disease in Bulgaria, it is appropriate to provide for disease control measures concerning the whole territory of that country in this Decision.
(8) In addition, it is appropriate in order to prevent the spread of classical swine fever to other areas of the Community, to provide in this Decision for a prohibition on the dispatch of fresh meat of pigs, and meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of pigs from Bulgaria. Such pigmeat and pigmeat products and preparations should be marked with special marks which cannot be confused with the health marks for pigmeat provided for in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (5) and the identification mark provided for in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (6). However, it is appropriate that such pigmeat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of pigs may be dispatched to other Member States if they are treated in such a way that any classical swine fever virus present is destroyed.
(9) In the interests of ensuring compliance with this Decision, where a Member State is subject to a prohibition on the dispatch of fresh meat of pigs, and meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of pigs from certain parts of its territory, this Decision should lay down certain requirements, in particular as regards certification, for the dispatch of such meat, preparations and products from other areas of the territory of that Member State not subject to that prohibition.
(10) Decision 2003/526/EC has been amended several times. Therefore it is appropriate to repeal that Decision and replace it by the present Decision.
(11) The Decision should be reviewed on the basis of the evolution of the classical swine fever situation in the Member States and in particular nine months after the date of Accession of Bulgaria.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Articles 31(4) and 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92 of 7 August 1992 on imports of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species from third countries and the granting of export refunds thereon and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1544/79 (2) lays down the criteria for granting export refunds on female pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species. Those criteria include the presentation of a pedigree certificate at the time when the customs export formalities are completed.
(2) Certain requirements regarding the particulars to be contained in pedigree certificates are set out in Article 3(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92. Those requirements derive directly from Commission Decision 86/404/EEC (3), which was repealed and replaced by Commission Decision 2005/379/EC of 17 May 2005 on pedigree certificates and particulars for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species, their semen, ova and embryos (4).
(3) Some of the requirements regarding the content of pedigree certificates were clarified in Decision 2005/379/EC. The provisions on the particulars to be contained in pedigree certificates for the purpose of granting export refunds on female pure-bred breeding animals should, therefore, be brought into line with that Decision.
(4) Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In the first paragraph of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92, point (a) is hereby replaced by the following:

(2) To ensure that such aids are granted and financed under identical conditions, detailed rules should be laid down for calculating the value of the production marketed by producer organisations and the administrative expenses of such organisations and such calculations should be done on the basis of supporting accounting documents. In view of the difficulty of obtaining such documents in some cases, however, a flat-rate method should be available by way of an alternative.
(3) The aid for which an association of producer organisations may qualify should be limited to a maximum overall amount, given that each of the member organisations may qualify for foundation and operating aid.
(4) Detailed rules should be laid down defining expenses in connection with the implementation of a quality improvement plan by a producer organisation.
(5) Detailed rules should be laid down governing the reimbursement of the Community contribution towards aid granted by Member States before 1 January 2000 but for which reimbursement was not the subject of a Commission decision before that date.

by
(b) the weighted average producer price obtained by those producers during the same period, calculated per 100 kg net.
2. To calculate the average production referred to in paragraph 1(a), the production marketed by members during each of the three years mentioned therein shall be determined:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 lays down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (2).

(2) The quantities available for import under the A/B and C tariff quotas for the fourth quarter of 2004 should be determined, having regard, on the one hand, to the volume of tariff quotas provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 and, on the other hand, to the import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2004. For traditional operators, however, these quantities are determined on a provisional basis in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2003 of 19 November 2003 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 as regards the fixing of adjustment coefficients to be applied to the reference quantity for each traditional operator under the tariff quotas for banana imports for 2004 (3).

(a) submitted by a traditional operator may not relate to a quantity exceeding the difference between the reference quantity established pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2004;
(b) submitted by a non-traditional operator may not relate to a quantity exceeding the difference between the annual quantity determined and notified to the operator pursuant to Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 and the sum of the quantities covered by import licences issued for the first three quarters of 2004.
To be accepted, applications for import licences shall be accompanied by a copy of the import licence(s) issued to the operator for the preceding quarters of 2004.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 28 (2) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (4), the release for free circulation in the Community of garlic imported from third countries is subject to the presentation of import licences;
Whereas on 14 May 1996 the Kingdom of Spain and on 6 May 1996 the French Republic requested the Commission to take protective measures against imports of garlic;
Whereas in 1993 the Commission recorded a very sharp rise in imports of garlic originating in China as compared with preceding years; whereas, given their price, further imports could have brought about such serious disturbance of the Community market as to jeopardize the objectives of Article 39 of the EC Treaty and in particular to damage Community producers; whereas the Commission accordingly adopted a protective measure by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/94 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2815/94 (6), to limit the quantity covered by import licences issued for garlic originating in China for the 1994/95 marketing year to a given quantity per month; whereas this measure was renewed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1153/95 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2944/95 (8), for the period 1 June 1995 to 31 May 1996;
Whereas each month import licence applications in respect of garlic originating in China have covered quantities far exceeding the monthly quantity fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1153/95; whereas, moreover, the number of applications submitted on the first day of each monthly period led throughout the whole marketing year concerned to import licences being issued for quantities equal to less than 1 % of the quantities applied for and to the rejection of applications submitted thereafter; whereas this systematic overrun shows that there is continuing pressure on the market for this product and that, unless protective measures are adopted, the Community market in garlic could be seriously disturbed by huge quantities imported from China; whereas it is therefore vital for the protective measure applying to garlic originating in China to be renewed;
Whereas import licences issued should be limited to a given quantity by period from 1 June 1996 to 31 May 1997 and the issuing thereof should be suspended once that quantity has been attained,
1. For the period 1 June 1996 to 31 May 1997, import licences for garlic (CN code 0703 20 00) originating in China shall be issued for up to 12 000 tonnes only, subject to a maximum quantity for each period as set out in the Annex.
2. The maximum quantity for each period as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be equal to the sum of:
(a) the quantity set out in the Annex;
(b) quantities not applied for from the preceding period;
and
(c) unused quantities from licences issued previously of which the Commission has been informed.
3. Where the Commission establishes, on the basis of information forwarded to it by the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93, that there is a risk that the maximum quantity for any period may be exceeded, it shall lay down the conditions under which licences may be issued.
4. Operators may submit not more than two licence applications per period, separated by a minimum of five days, in respect of the product referred to in paragraph 1. Each application may cover not more than 50 % of the quantity available for that period as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1996.

31995R1238 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the fees payable to the Community Plant Variety Office
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1238/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the fees payable to the Community Plant Variety Office
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights (the Basic Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 is to be implemented by the Community Plant Variety Office (the Office); whereas the revenue of the Office should in principle be sufficient to balance the budget of the Office; whereas such revenues should be afforded by the fees to be paid for the official acts set out in the Basic Regulation and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1239/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards proceedings before the Community Plant Variety Office (2) (the Proceedings Regulation) as well as by annual fees payable for the duration of a Community plant variety right;
Whereas a subsidy from the general budget of the European Communities may cover the expenditure on the initial running phase of the Office for the transitional period defined in Article 113 (3) (b) of the Regulation; whereas an extension of that period by one year is possible by virtue of the same provision;
Whereas such extension of the transitional period should be considered if sufficient experience has not been gained for setting reasonable levels of fees ensuring the principle of self-financing whilst safeguarding the attractiveness of the Community system of plant variety protection; whereas such experience could only be gained by observing the number of applications for a Community plant variety right, the costs paid to the Examination Offices and the actual duration of Community plant variety rights granted;
Whereas the level of the fees should be based on the principles of sound financial management within the Office, and in particular economy and cost-effectiveness;
Whereas, in the interests of a simplified handling by the staff of the Office, the fees should be not only laid down, but also charged and paid in the same currency unit as is used for the budget of the Office;
Whereas the application fee should be a uniform fee covering only the processing of an application for a Community plant variety right made in respect of any given plant species;
Whereas the time limit for the payment of the application fee under Article 51 of the Basic Regulation should be considered as the period between the acts necessary for making the payment and the actual receipt of such payment by the Office, in particular in the need for a rapid recovery of costs already incurred by the Office on the one hand and for the facilitating of an effective filing of applications in the light of possibly long distances between applicant and Office, on the other;
Whereas the total of the examination fees which are charged for a technical examination should, in principle, balance the total fees to be paid by the Office to all Examination Offices; whereas costs for the maintenance of the reference collection should not necessarily be covered entirely by the examination fees charged; whereas the level of examination fee should vary between three groups of plant species in the light of experience available from existing national arrangements for plant variety protection;
Whereas the annual fees for the duration of a Community plant variety right should constitute an extra source of revenue for the Office, but should, inter alia, cover costs relating to the technical verification of varieties after the grant of a Community plant variety right and, in consequence, should follow the grouping established for the examination fees;
Whereas the appeal fee should be uniform in order to cover the main cost components relating to appeal proceedings, with the expection of costs relating to a technical examination pursuant to Articles 55 and 56 of the Basic Regulation or to any taking of evidence; whereas two different dates for payment of the application free should serve as an incentive to appellants to reconsider their appeal in the light of the decisions taken by the Office pursuant to Article 70 (2) of the Basic Regulation;
Whereas other fees in respect of specific requests shall in principle cover costs incurred in their processing by the Office, including the taking of decisions on such requests;
Whereas to ensure flexibility in the management of costs, the President of the Office should be empowered to lay down the fees payable for examination reports which already exist at the date of application and are not available to the Office, and for specific services rendered;
Whereas surcharges may be levied in order to reduce unnecessary costs to the Office arising from a lack of cooperation on the part of particular applicants for, or holders of, Community plant variety rights;
Whereas in the light of Article 117 of the Basic Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible;
Whereas the Administrative Council of the Office has been consulted;
Whereas the provisions provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Variety Rights,
Scope
1. Fees due to the Office, as provided for in the Basic Regulation and the Proceedings Regulation, shall be charged in accordance with this Regulation.
2. The fees due to the Office shall be laid down, charged and paid in ecus.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any surcharge, due to the Office.
4. Details of the fees which may be charged by authorities of Member States by virtue of provisions of the Basic Regulation or this Regulation shall be governed by the relevant national rules of the Member States concerned.
5. Where the President of the Office is empowered to take a decision as to the amount of fees and the way in which they are to be paid, such decisions shall be published in the Official Gazette of the Office.

2. Where the President of the Office allows other forms of payment in accordance with Article 3 (2), he shall simultaneously include in the conditions the date to be regarded as the date on which the payment is received.
3. Where the payment is considered not to have been received by the Office within the requisite time limit, such time limit shall be considered to have been observed vis-à-vis the Office if sufficient documentary evidence is produced within that time-limit to show that the person who made the payment took necessary steps.
4. It shall be considered to be 'necessary` within the meaning of paragraph 3 if the person making the payment duly gave an order to a banking establishment or a post office to transfer the amount of the payment in ecus to a bank account held by the Office.
5. Documentary evidence shall be regarded as 'sufficient` within the meaning of paragraph 3 if an acknowledgement of provision of the transfer order, issued by a banking establishment or a post office, is produced.
Name of the person making the payment and the purpose of payment
1. A person making a payment of fees or surcharges shall indicate in writing his name and the purpose of such payment.
2. If the Office cannot establish the purpose of a payment, it shall require the person having made the payment to inform it thereof in writing within two months. If the purpose is not indicated within that period, the payment shall be deemed not to have been made and shall be refunded to the person having made it.
Underpayment
A time-limit for payment of fees or surcharges shall, in principle, be deemed to have been observed only if the full amount of the fee or surcharge has been paid in due time. If the fees or surcharges are not paid in full, the amount which has been paid shall be refunded after any time-limit for payment has expired. The Office may, however, where this is considered justified, overlook any small deficiencies, without prejudicing the rights of the person making the payment.

of 19 August 2002
fixing Community producer and import prices for carnations and roses with a view to the application of the arrangements governing imports of certain floricultural products originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1300/97(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(a) thereof,

31991L0250 | Council Directive 91/250/EEC of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs (91/250/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas computer programs are at present not clearly protected in all Member States by existing legislation and such protection, where it exists, has different attributes;
Whereas the development of computer programs requires the investment of considerable human, technical and financial resources while computer programs can be copied at a fraction of the cost needed to develop them independently;
Whereas computer programs are playing an increasingly important role in a broad range of industries and computer program technology can accordingly be considered as being of fundamental importance for the Community's industrial development;
Whereas certain differences in the legal protection of computer programs offered by the laws of the Member States have direct and negative effects on the functioning of the common market as regards computer programs and such differences could well become greater as Member States introduce new legislation on this subject;
Whereas existing differences having such effects need to be removed and new ones prevented from arising, while differences not adversely affecting the functioning of the common market to a substantial degree need not be removed or prevented from arising;
Whereas the Community's legal framework on the protection of computer programs can accordingly in the first instance be limited to establishing that Member States should accord protection to computer programs under copyright law as literary works and, further, to establishing who and what should be protected, the exclusive rights on which protected persons should be able to rely in order to authorize or prohibit certain acts and for how long the protection should apply;
Whereas, for the purpose of this Directive, the term 'computer program` shall include programs in any form, including those which are incorporated into hardware; whereas this term also includes preparatory design work leading to the development of a computer program provided that the nature of the preparatory work is such that a computer program can result from it at a later stage;
Whereas, in respect of the criteria to be applied in determining whether or not a computer program is an original work, no tests as to the qualitative or aesthetic merits of the program should be applied;
Whereas the Community is fully committed to the promotion of international standardization;
Whereas the function of a computer program is to communicate and work together with other components of a computer system and with users and, for this purpose, a logical and, where appropriate, physical interconnection and interaction is required to permit all elements of software and hardware to work with other software and hardware and with users in all the ways in which they are intended to function;
Whereas the parts of the program which provide for such interconnection and interaction between elements of software and hardware are generally known as 'interfaces`;
Whereas this functional interconnection and interaction is generally known as 'interoperability`; whereas such interoperability can be defined as the ability to exchange information and mutually to use the information which has been exchanged;
Whereas, for the avoidance of doubt, it has to be made clear that only the expression of a computer program is protected and that ideas and principles which underlie any element of a program, including those which underlie its interfaces, are not protected by copyright under this Directive;
Whereas, in accordance with this principle of copyright, to the extent that logic, algorithms and programming languages comprise ideas and principles, those ideas and principles are not protected under this Directive;
Whereas, in accordance with the legislation and jurisprudence of the Member States and the international copyright conventions, the expression of those ideas and principles is to be protected by copyright;
Whereas, for the purposes of this Directive, the term 'rental` means the making available for use, for a limited period of time and for profit-making purposes, of a computer program or a copy thereof; whereas this term does not include public lending, which, accordingly, remains outside the scope of this Directive;
Whereas the exclusive rights of the author to prevent the unauthorized reproduction of his work have to be subject to a limited exception in the case of a computer program to allow the reproduction technically necessary for the use of that program by the lawful acquirer;
Whereas this means that the acts of loading and running necessary for the use of a copy of a program which has been lawfully acquired, and the act of correction of its errors, may not be prohibited by contract; whereas, in the absence of specific contractual provisions, including when a copy of the program has been sold, any other act necessary for the use of the copy of a program may be performed in accordance with its intended purpose by a lawful acquirer of that copy;
Whereas a person having a right to use a computer program should not be prevented from performing acts necessary to observe, study or test the functioning of the program, provided that these acts do not infringe the copyright in the program;
Whereas the unauthorized reproduction, translation, adaptation or transformation of the form of the code in which a copy of a computer program has been made available constitutes an infringement of the exclusive rights of the author;
Whereas, nevertheless, circumstances may exist when such a reproduction of the code and translation of its form within the meaning of Article 4 (a) and (b) are indispensable to obtain the necessary information to achieve the interoperability of an independently created program with other programs;
Whereas it has therefore to be considered that in these limited circumstances only, performance of the acts of reproduction and translation by or on behalf of a person having a right to use a copy of the program is legitimate and compatible with fair practice and must therefore be deemed not to require the authorization of the rightholder;
Whereas an objective of this exception is to make it possible to connect all components of a computer system, including those of different manufacturers, so that they can work together;
Whereas such an exception to the author's exclusive rights may not be used in a way which prejudices the legitimate interests of the rightholder or which conflicts with a normal exploitation of the program;
Whereas, in order to remain in accordance with the provisions of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the term of protection should be the life of the author and fifty years from the first of January of the year following the year of his death or, in the case of an anonymous or pseudonymous work, 50 years from the first of January of the year following the year in which the work is first published;
Whereas protection of computer programs under copyright laws should be without prejudice to the application, in appropriate cases, of other forms of protection; whereas, however, any contractual provisions contrary to Article 6 or to the exceptions provided for in Article 5 (2) and (3) should be null and void;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are without prejudice to the application of the competition rules under Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty if a dominant supplier refuses to make information available which is necessary for interoperability as defined in this Directive;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive should be without prejudice to specific requirements of Community law already enacted in respect of the publication of interfaces in the telecommunications sector or Council Decisions relating to standardization in the field of information technology and telecommunication;
Whereas this Directive does not affect derogations provided for under national legislation in accordance with the Berne Convention on points not covered by this Directive,
Object of protection
1. In accordance with the provisions of this Directive, Member States shall protect computer programs, by copyright, as literary works within the meaning of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. For the purposes of this Directive, the term 'computer programs` shall include their preparatory design material.
2. Protection in accordance with this Directive shall apply to the expression in any form of a computer program. Ideas and principles which underlie any element of a computer program, including those which underlie its interfaces, are not protected by copyright under this Directive.
3. A computer program shall be protected if it is original in the sense that it is the author's own intellectual creation. No other criteria shall be applied to determine its eligibility for protection.
Authorship of computer programs
1.

Exceptions to the restricted acts
1. In the absence of specific contractual provisions, the acts referred to in Article 4 (a) and (b) shall not require authorization by the rightholder where they are necessary for the use of the computer program by the lawful acquirer in accordance with its intended purpose, including for error correction.

Decompilation
1. The authorization of the rightholder shall not be required where reproduction of the code and translation of its form within the meaning of Article 4 (a) and (b) are indispensable to obtain the information necessary to achieve the interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, provided that the following conditions are met:

(b) to be given to others, except when necessary for the interoperability of the independently created computer program; or (c) to be used for the development, production or marketing of a computer program substantially similar in its expression, or for any other act which infringes copyright.
3. In accordance with the provisions of the Berne Convention for the protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the provisions of this Article may not be interpreted in such a way as to allow its application to be used in a manner which unreasonably prejudices the right holder's legitimate interests or conflicts with a normal exploitation of the computer program.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3463/87
of 17 November 1987
laying down general rules for imports of olive oil originating in Tunisia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 4 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Tunisia (1), signed on 26 May 1987, provides that for each marketing year during the period between the date of entry into force of this Protocol and 31 December 1990, within the limit of a quantity of 46 000 tonnes per marketing year, a special levy should be charged on untreated olive oil falling within subheadings 15.07 A I a) or b) of the Common Customs Tariff wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the Community;
Whereas, in the light of the present situation and outlook as regards supplies of olive oil on the Community market, that quantity can be disposed of without any risk of market disruption, provided that imports are not concentrated within a limited period each year; whereas it is advisable to provide that import licences should be issued at a monthly rate to be determined, without this situation being able to jeopardize the offer made by the Community to Tunisia to export the abovementioned quantity of olive oil to the Community;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the quota system is applied correctly, the Commission should be responsible for its administration;
Whereas, by virtue of Articles 97 and 295 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, preferential, contractual or autonomous arrangements applied by the Community with regard to third countries in the olive oil sector do not apply to Spain or Portugal; whereas measures should therefore be provided for to prevent olive oil originating in Tunisia from being released for consumption in Spain or Portugal after qualifying for a reduced levy; whereas those measures should be specified in the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation,
Untreated olive oil falling within subheadings 15.07 A I a) and b) of the Common Customs Tariff, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, which qualifies for the special levy referred to in Article 4 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Tunisia, shall be imported at a rate to be determined.
The Commission shall be responsible for the administration of the imports. It shall authorize Member States to issue import licences, on the basis of the timetable laid down, up to a maximum quantity of 46 000 tonnes per marketing year.
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular those designed to prevent any deflection of trade, shall be adopted in acordance with the procedure provided for in Article 38 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1915/87 (3).

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 (3) of 13 December 1973 laid down the procedure and conditions for the sale of tobacco held by intervention agencies;
Whereas experience obtained in implementing this Regulation has indicated that applying the notion of net weight used in defining lots causes administrative difficulties at the time of the required operation, especially at the time of exportation ; whereas this notion should be replaced by actual weight;
Whereas experience has shown that the timetable laid down for the sale does not correspond to the time required for the technical operations necessary to the proper functioning of the sale ; whereas certain of the time limits laid down should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
1. Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 is replaced by the following:
"The tobacco offered for sale shall be described by reference to the classification of baled tobacco set out in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70. The weight indicated shall be the actual weight recorded when the goods are taken over and placed in storage by the intervention agency. The intervention agencies shall supply all necessary information as to the characteristics of the various lots."
2. Article 4 (2) (b) is replaced by the following:
"(b) the lot tendered for and the price offered per kilogramme in the currency of the Member State in which the sale by tender is taking place."
The number "sixty" mentioned in Articles 3 (1) and 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 is replaced by the number "forty-five".

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1416/95 was renewed for 1996 and 1997, respectively by Council Regulations (EC) No 102/96 (2) and (EC) No 306/97 (3);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4) consolidated the arrangements for managing the tariff quotas to be used in chronological order of the dates of acceptance of the declarations for release for free circulation;
Whereas it was not possible to conclude additional Protocols before 1 January 1998; whereas, in these circumstances and pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the Act of Accession, the Community should adopt measures required to remedy the situation; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to renew the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1416/95 for 1998;
Whereas, as a result of changes in the tariff classification of certain goods referred to in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 1416/95, the said Annexes need to be adapted,
