Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1307/2003(3) lays down the conditions under which applications for import licences lodged for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2003 can be accepted.
(2) All the available quantities of beef and veal products originating in Poland and Hungary (quota number 09.4707) that can be imported under special conditions in the period from 1 July to 30 December 2003, as provided for in the first paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1279/98, have been used up.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 349/86 (4), in conformity with Article 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3381/90 (6), has fixed the period of validity of the certificates of advance fixing of the refund;
Whereas, in view of the expected disparity in the price of maize on the Community market in the current marketing year and that following the next harvest, the duration of validity of export licences for maize-based cereal products and for potato starch, where the price level is dependent on the price of maize, has been adapted by a temporary derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 675/91 (8); whereas therefore it is necessary to derogate temporarily from Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 by reducing the duration of validity of certificates of prefixation with respect to refunds fixed in advance for maize exported in form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty; whereas for this reason this Regulation must enter into force on the day after that of its publication;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2247/88 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (4) and 5 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1277/84 of 8 May 1984 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3) contains provisions as to the methods for determining the production aid;
Whereas, under Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of, firstly, the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, secondly, the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetable sector, and, thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, if necessary, the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis; whereas the volume of imports makes the non-member country price unrepresentative; whereas the production aid must be calculated by reference to a price based on the Community market price;
Whereas the minimum price to be paid to producers in Spain and Portugal and the production aid for the products obtained are to be determined as provided for in Articles 118 and 304 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the representative period for determining the minimum price is laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 461/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down, on account of the accesson of Spain and Portugal, rules on the production aid system in respect of processed fruit and vegetables (4) whereas the application of these provisions leads to the result that the minimum price and the aid to be fixed for Portugal are the same as those to be fixed for the other Member States, other than Spain;
Whereas Article 118 (6) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provides that during the first four marketing years following accession, the grant of production aid in Spain for peaches in syrup is to be limited to a quantity of 80 000 tonnes, expressed in net weight; whereas to ensure equitable allocation of raw material to each of the production regions of the Community, it should be laid down that peaches grown in a specific region only attract production aid when processed in that region;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1988/1989 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for peaches, and
b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the same Regulation for peaches in syrup,
shall be as set out in the Annex.
Where processing takes place outside the Member State in which the produce was grown, such Member State shall furnish proof to the Member State paying the production aid that the minimum price payable to the producer has been paid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the application of the Community plant health regime to the Community as an area without internal frontiers, will require the carrying out of plant health checks of Community products of plant health concern before their movement within the Community; whereas the most appropriate place for carrying out these checks is the place of production of producers listed in an official register;
Whereas, with a view to the production of plants, plant products or other objects which are not infested or infected by harmful organisms referred to in Council Directive 77/93/EEC, and adequate monitoring by Member States of that production, it is necessary to establish more rules on the listing of producers or other persons for which the listing in an official register is required, as well as certain detailed and - to that extent - uniform obligations to which producers of plants, plant products or other objects should be subject;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Member States shall ensure that any producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer who come under Article 6 (4), third subparagraph, Article 6 (5), Article 10 (3), second indent or Article 12 (6), second subparagraph, of Directive 77/93/EEC respectively, shall enter an application for listing in an official register, through an appropriate registration procedure, to the responsible official bodies referred to in Directive 77/93/EEC.
2. Member States shall ensure that on receipt of the application referred to in paragraph 1, the said responsible official bodies shall record this application in an official register of applications and shall examine the information supplied in the application form.
3. The said responsible official bodies shall list each producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer referred to in paragraph 1, in the official register mentioned in the same paragraph, under an individual registration number enabling their respective identification, once the said responsible official bodies have established that the producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer is able and willing to meet the obligations laid down in
(2) and those referred to Article 2 (3) and Article 3.
4. In those cases, where, upon the examination referred to in paragraph 2 it is considered that the obligations referred to in Article 2 (2) will not be met, the said responsible official bodies shall not list the producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer in the official register mentioned in paragraph 1 as long as paragraph 3 does not apply.
5. The Member States shall ensure that the listing shall be amended or renewed, as appropriate, if the producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer referred to in paragraph 1 decides to carry out activities in addition to, or instead of, those for which he was initially listed.
6. The Member States shall ensure that the said responsible official bodies shall take the necessary measures if the obligations referred to in Article 2 (2), and where appropriate Article 2 (3) and Article 3, cease to be met.
7. Any measure taken under paragraph 6 shall be withdrawn as soon as it has been established that the producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer is likely, in the future, to comply with the requirements and conditions of this Directive.
1. The Member States shall ensure that under the registration procedure, referred to in Article 1, any producer, collective warehouse, dispatching centre, other person or importer concerned shall be subject to the obligations laid down in paragraph 2, without prejudice to those referred to in paragraph 3 and in Article 3.

- purchased for storage or planting on the premises,
- under production, or

(2) That procedure should be opened for exports during 2002 and the additional rules relating to it should be determined.
(3) For the administration of imports the competent authorities in the USA make a distinction between the additional quota granted to the European Community under the Uruguay Round and the quotas resulting from the Tokyo Round. Export licences should be allocated bearing in mind, where necessary, the distribution of certain groups of products according to the nature of the quota.
(4) In order to provide stability and security for operators lodging demands under this special regime, it is appropriate to fix the day on which applications are deemed to have been lodged for the purposes of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999.

The commitments on the part of the tenderer include an obligation to lodge an application for an export licence. Compliance with this obligation may be ensured by requiring tenderers to lodge a tendering security of EUR 12 per tonne when they submit their tenders.
(3) It is necessary to provide for a specific period of validity for licences issued under that invitation to tender. That period of validity must meet the needs of the world market for the 2002/03 marketing year.

A tender shall be valid only if it relates to an amount of not less than 1000 tonnes.
The security referred to in Article 5(3a) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall be EUR 12 per tonne.
1. Notwithstanding Article 23(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(5), laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products, export licences issued under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall, for the purpose of determining their period of validity, be deemed to have been issued on the day on which the tender was submitted.
2. Export licences issued in connection with the invitations to tender pursuant to this Regulation shall be valid from their date of issue, as defined in paragraph 1, until the end of the fourth month following that of issue.
1. The Commission shall decide, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92:
- to fix a maximum refund, taking into account in particular the criteria laid down in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95, or

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 43(2) and 114(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 1999/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 February 1999 relating to coffee extracts and chicory extracts (3), Directive 2000/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 June 2000 relating to cocoa and chocolate products intended for human consumption (4), Council Directive 2001/111/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to certain sugars intended for human consumption (5), Council Directive 2001/113/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purée intended for human consumption (6) and Council Directive 2001/114/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to certain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk for human consumption (7) confer powers on the Commission in order to implement some of the provisions of those Directives. Those powers have been exercised in accordance with the procedures laid down in Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (8). It is appropriate, following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, to align that conferral of powers to Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
(2) In particular, Directives 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC confer powers on the Commission to adopt measures necessary for the implementation of those Directives relating to adaptation to technical progress. Such measures are currently subject to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny in the case of Directive 2000/36/EC, and to the regulatory procedure in the case of Directives 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC. It is appropriate, following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, to align that conferral of powers to Article 290 TFEU and the scope of those powers should be reviewed.
(3) The Annexes to Directives 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC and 2001/113/EC contain technical elements which might have to be adapted or updated in order to take account of developments in relevant international standards. However, Directives 2000/36/EC and 2001/111/EC do not confer on the Commission appropriate powers to promptly amend the Annexes thereto in order to take account of such developments. Therefore, in order to ensure the consistent implementation of Directives 2000/36/EC and 2001/111/EC, additional powers to amend Sections C and D of Annex I to Directive 2000/36/EC and Part B of the Annex to Directive 2001/111/EC should be delegated to the Commission to take account of developments in relevant international standards. Furthermore, Directive 2001/113/EC confers on the Commission powers to bring that Directive into line with developments in relevant international standards in accordance with the regulatory procedure. It is appropriate, following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, to align that conferral of powers to Article 290 TFEU and the scope of those powers should be reviewed.
(4) Therefore, in order to take account of technical progress and developments in relevant international standards, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the following: amending Sections C and D of Annex I to Directive 2000/36/EC; amending Part B of the Annex to Directive 2001/111/EC; and amending Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Directive 2001/113/EC. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(5) Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (9), which applies to all stages of production, processing and distribution of food and feed at Union and national level, general Union provisions on foodstuffs apply directly to the products covered by Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC. It is therefore no longer necessary for the Commission to have the powers to align the provisions of those Directives to the general Union provisions on foodstuffs. The provisions conferring such powers should therefore be deleted.
(6) This Regulation is limited to aligning the existing conferral of powers on the Commission under Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC to Article 290 TFEU and, where appropriate, to reviewing the scope of those powers. Since it remains the case that the objectives of those Directives cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve its objectives.
(7) Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) Since the amendments made to Directives 1999/4/EC, 2000/36/EC, 2001/111/EC, 2001/113/EC and 2001/114/EC concern Commission powers only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States,
Amendments to Directive 1999/4/EC
Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 1999/4/EC are deleted.
Amendments to Directive 2000/36/EC
Directive 2000/36/EC is hereby amended as follows:

(2008/630/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 lays down the general principles governing food and feed in general, and food and feed safety in particular, at Community and national level. It provides for emergency measures where it is evident that food or feed imported from a third country is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment, and that such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.
(2) Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products (2) provides that the production process of animals and primary products of animal origin is to be monitored for the purpose of detecting the presence of certain residues and substances in live animals, their excrements and body fluids and in tissue, animal products, animal feed and drinking water.
(3) Residues of veterinary medicinal products and unauthorised substances have been detected in crustaceous imported from Bangladesh and intended for human consumption. The presence of those products and substances in food presents a potential risk for human health.
(4) The results of the latest Community inspection visit to Bangladesh have revealed serious shortcomings as regards the residue control system in live animals and animal products and a lack of appropriate laboratory capacity for the testing of certain residues of veterinary medicinal products in live animals and animal products.
(5) Bangladesh has recently taken measures concerning those shortcomings as regards the handling and testing of fishery products.
(6) Since those measures are not sufficient, it is appropriate to adopt, at Community level, certain emergency measures applicable to importations of crustaceous from Bangladesh in order to ensure the effective and uniform protection of human health in all Member States.
(7) Accordingly, Member States should allow importations of crustaceous from Bangladesh only if it can be shown that they have been subjected to an analytical test at origin to verify that they do not contain any unauthorised substances and that the levels of certain residues of veterinary medicinal products do not exceed the maximum residue levels laid down in Community legislation.
(8) However, it is appropriate to authorise, the importation of consignments that are not accompanied by the results of the analytical tests at origin, provided that the importing Member States ensures that those consignments undergo appropriate checks on arrival at the Community border.
(9) This Decision should be reviewed in the light of the guarantees offered by Bangladesh and on the basis of the results of the analytical tests carried out by the Member States.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
This Decision shall apply to consignments of crustaceous imported from Bangladesh and intended for human consumption (the products).
Member States shall authorise the importation into the Community of the products provided that they are accompanied by the results of an analytical test carried out at origin to ensure that they do not present a danger to human health (the analytical test).
The analytical tests must be carried out, in particular, with a view to detecting the presence of chloramphenicol, metabolites of nitrofurans, tetracycline, malachite green and crystal violet in conformity with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 (3) and Commission Decision 2002/657/EC (4).
By way of derogation from Article 2, Member States shall authorise the importation of products that are not accompanied by the results of the analytical test provided that the importing Member State ensures that each consignment of such products undergoes all appropriate checks on arrival at the Community border to ensure that they do not present a danger to human health.
However, those consignments must be detained at the Community border until laboratory tests show that the substances referred to in Article 2 that are not authorised under Community legislation are not present or that the maximum residues laid down in Community legislation for the veterinary medical products referred to in that Article are not exceeded.
1. Member States shall immediately inform the Commission if the analytical tests reveal:
(a) the presence of any substances not authorised under Community legislation; or
(b) residues of veterinary medicinal products that exceed the maximum residue limits laid down in Community legislation.
Member States shall use, for the submission of any such information, the rapid alert system for food and feed set up by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
2. Member States shall submit to the Commission every three months a report of all the results of the analytical tests.
Those reports shall be submitted during the month following each quarter (April, July, October, and January).
All expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or the agent of either.
Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the measures they take to comply with this Decision.
This Decision shall be reviewed on the basis of the guarantees offered by Bangladesh, and the results of the analytical tests carried out by the Member States.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| 6.2.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 37/5
COUNCIL DECISION
of 4 November 2008
providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Hungary
(2009/102/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balance of payments (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission made after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC),
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 2009/103/EC (2), the Council decided to grant mutual assistance to Hungary.
(2) Despite the expected improvement in the current account, Hungary’s external financing needs in 2008 and 2009 are estimated at EUR 20 billion as, in view of the recent developments on the financial market, the capital and financial account could substantially deteriorate, with the acceleration of net portfolio outflows.
(3) It is appropriate to provide Community support to Hungary of up to EUR 6,5 billion under the Facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balance of payments which was established by Regulation (EC) No 332/2002. That assistance should be provided in conjunction with a loan from the International Monetary Fund of SDR 10,5 billion (around EUR 12,5 billion) under a Stand-by arrangement expected to be approved on 6 November 2008. The World Bank has also agreed to provide a loan to Hungary of EUR 1 billion.
(4) The assistance should be managed by the Commission which, after consulting the EFC, should agree with the authorities of Hungary the specific economic policy conditions attached to the financial assistance. Those conditions should be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding. The detailed financial terms should be laid down by the Commission in the Loan Agreement.
(5) The assistance should be provided with a view to supporting balance of payments sustainability in Hungary and, in this way, contributing to the successful implementation of the Government’s economic policy programme under current economic and financial conditions,
1. The Community shall make available to Hungary a medium-term loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 6,5 billion, with a maximum average maturity of five years.
2. This Community financial assistance shall be made available during a period of two years starting from the first day after the entry into force of this Decision.
1. The Commission shall manage the assistance in a manner consistent with Hungary’s undertakings and with recommendations by the Council, in particular in the context of the implementation of the National Reform Programme as well as of the convergence programme and the excessive deficit procedure.
2. The Commission shall agree with the authorities of Hungary, after consulting the EFC, the specific economic policy conditions attached to the financial assistance as laid down in Article 3(4). Those conditions shall be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding consistent with the undertakings and recommendations referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article. The detailed financial terms shall be laid down by the Commission in the Loan Agreement.
3. The Commission shall, in collaboration with the EFC, verify at regular intervals that the economic policy conditions attached to the assistance are fulfilled. The Commission shall keep the EFC informed of possible refinancing of the borrowings or restructuring of the financial conditions.
1. The Community financial assistance shall be made available by the Commission to Hungary in a maximum of five instalments, the size of which shall be laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding.
2. The first instalment shall be released subject to the entry into force of the Loan Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding, as well as based on the submission to the Hungarian Parliament of the legislative amendments to the draft 2009 budget proposal, which aim at achieving a deficit of 2,6 % of GDP and which include the underpinning budgetary measures.
3. If required in order to finance the loan, the prudent use of interest rate swaps with counterparties of highest credit quality shall be permitted.
4. The Commission, after having obtained the opinion of the EFC, shall decide on the release of further instalments. The disbursement of each further instalment shall be made on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the new economic programme of the Hungarian Government backed by the IMF arrangement and also included in the forthcoming convergence programme of Hungary and, more particularly, the specific economic policy conditions laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding.
These policy conditions should include, inter alia:
(a) the progress of fiscal consolidation as planned by the Government in the context of its new programme which is in line with the Council recommendation under the excessive deficit procedure of 10 October 2006 as well as the Council opinion on the November 2007 convergence programme update, in particular with respect to the 2009 deficit target;
(b) specific measures to control expenditure underlying the planned consolidation process;
(c) progress with fiscal governance reform by strengthening the institutional framework and introducing medium-term fiscal rules along the lines of the draft proposal that is currently being discussed in the Hungarian Parliament;
(d) financial sector regulation and supervision reforms and stepping-up the authorities' capacity to address efficiently solvency and liquidity concerns; and
(e) other structural reform measures supported in the context of the Lisbon Strategy, such as the reinforcement of incentives to work with a view to supporting employment and contributing to the long-term sustainability of public finances.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Hungary. It shall be published 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 Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultral products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas the measures intended to offset, as regards the supply of certain agricultural products, the geographical situation of the Azores and Madeira consist of exemption from import duties (customs duties and agricultural levies) and the grant of aid to encourage the delivery of agricultural products from the Community;
Whereas certain agricultural products exempted from import levies are already subject to the issue of an import licence; whereas, in the interests of administrative simplification, the import licence should be used as the basis for the system of exemption from import duties; whereas the dual purpose of the import licence requires detailed rules for the issue of the document which are exceptions to the detailed rules normally applicable to import licences;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (3), lays don, in particular, the detailed implementing rules for import licences;
Whereas a document upon which to base the system of exemption from import duties should be adopted for other agricultural products which are not subject to the issue of an import licence; whereas the import licence form, hereinafter called the 'exemption certificate', may be used for that purpose;
Whereas the scheme of aid granted in respect of Community products can be administered on the basis of the import licence form, hereinafter called the 'aid certificate';
Whereas the administrative authorities should have at their disposal the necessary instruments to ensure that the supply scheme is used for its proper purpose, namely the regular supply of users and the passing on of the benefits to the local consumer; whereas, to that end, in order to deal with excessive applications which bear no relation to justifiable requirements and which could jeopardize the objectives and smooth operation of the supply arrangements, the competent authorities must, where necessary, be able to define categories of users to whom priority should be given, or to allocate the quantity available within the framework of the supply balance, which may be revised during the course of the financial year;
Whereas the effects of the benefits granted in the form of exemption from import duties and the grant of aid in respect of Community products must be passed on in production costs and in the prices paid by the end user; whereas checks are needed to ensure that the benefits are passed on;
Whereas there should be a system of Community checks on the measures taken by the competent authorities in order to ensure that they are properly implemented; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for periodic communications to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee concerned,
This Regulation lays down common detailed rules for implementation of the scheme of exemption from import duties and aid for the Community supply of the Azores and Madeira, within the framework of the forecast supply balance, which may be revised during the course of the financial year.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3258/94 of 19 December 1994 extending Regulation (EC) No 665/94 on the introduction of transitional tariff measures for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, until 31 December 1994 to take account of German unification
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 28 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff will be fully applicable to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic as from 3 October 1990, the date of German unification;
Whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded numerous agreements with Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia which provided for a yearly exchange of specific goods in maximum quantities or to maximum values at a zero rate of duty; whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded long-term cooperation and inverstment agreements with Czechoslovakia, Poland and the USSR which will give rise to reciprocal deliveries of goods at zero rates of duty for many years to come;
Whereas agreements of the first type have not been renewed after 31 December 1990 and agreements of the second type will be renegotiated at Community, German or private enterprise level, but whereas this process of renegotiation will take some time;
Whereas the maximum quantities or values mentioned in these agreements do not entail legally-binding obligations between the parties; whereas non-enforcement thereof cannot therefore give rise to any compensation by the Community;
Whereas it is necessary, therefore, during a transitional period to attenuate the impact resulting from German unification on both types of agreement as otherwise serious repercussions on enterprises in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia could result and indeed the stability of the economies of these countries might be adversely affected thereby;
Whereas for these reasons it is appropriate to suspend temporarily the duties of the Common Customs Tariff for products originating in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which are covered by the abovementioned agreements between the former German Democratic Republic and these countries, up to the maximum quantities or values laid down therein;
Whereas it is appropriate, in view of the special circumstances of German unification, for the said suspension of duties to be applicable to the products concerned only insofar as they are put into free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas it is necessary to make provision for determining the origin of the goods which will be covered by the said suspension of duties;
Whereas, in view of the difficulties in applying these measures and the fact that some of their consequences are unforeseeable, it is appropriate to emphasize the transitional character of these measures and restrict their duration to a one-year period up to 31 December 1995;
Whereas a similar transitional arrangement was set up until 31 December 1992 by Regulation (EEC) No 3568/90 (1) and by Decision No 3788/90/ECSC (2) extended until 31 December 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 1343/93 (3) and by Decision No 1535/93/ECSC (4); whereas these arrangements have been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 665/94 (5) and Decision No 1478/94/ECSC (6) for 1994;
Whereas it is appropriate to provide for special measures and a procedure to put them in place, in case the temporary suspension of duties causes or threatens to cause serious injury to a branch of Community industry;
Whereas these measures must be solely related to the customs tariff and, in any event, must not prejudice the application of Community measures under the common commercial policy,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 665/94, the year 1994 shall be replaced by 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1995.

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) (the ‘basic Regulation’),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (2) (the ‘extending Regulation’), extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (4) (the ‘exemption Regulation’) on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of the exemption Regulation, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption from the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the ‘extended anti-dumping duty’). The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (5) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.
(2) Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (6), a period of examination has been selected. Due to the accession of Bulgaria and Romania it was decided to determine an examination period from 1 January 2006 until 30 June 2007 so that in the same procedure also requests for exemptions submitted by Bulgarian and Romanian bicycle assemblers could be analysed. A questionnaire was sent to all parties under examination, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.
A. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
A.1. Acceptable requests for exemption
(3) The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties received their suspension after this date. The information provided was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.

(4) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for 22 of these applicants’ bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People’s Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
(5) For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty.
(6) In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.
(7) It is to be noted that the following party listed in table 1 informed the Commission services of a change in its registered seat during the examination period:
— Leader-96 Ltd. transferred its registered office from 3 Mostova Str., 4002 Plovdiv, Bulgaria to 19 Sedianka Str., 4003 Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
(8) It has been established that this change in the address of the registered office did not affect the assembly operation with regard to the stipulations of the exemption Regulation and therefore the Commission does not consider that this change should affect the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.
A.2. Unacceptable requests for exemption and withdrawals
(9) The parties listed in table 2 below also submitted requests for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.

(10) Two parties withdrew their request for exemption and informed the Commission accordingly.
(11) Another party went bankrupt and consequently ceased the assembly activities.
(12) Since the parties listed in table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption set by Article 6(2) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has to reject their requests for exemptions, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the requests submitted by these parties.
B. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY GRANTED

(14) With regard to these parties, it should be noted that their requests did not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation as all these applicants use essential bicycle parts for the production or assembly of bicycles in quantities below 300 units per type on a monthly basis.
(15) These parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. For two parties no comments were received, the remaining two parties withdrew their request. As a consequence, no suspension was granted to these parties.
B.2. Admissible requests for exemption for which suspension should be granted
(16) Interested parties are hereby informed of the receipt of further requests for exemption, pursuant to Article 3 of the exemption Regulation, from parties listed in table 4.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and imports from third countries of equidae(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2002/160/EC(2), and in particular Article 15(a) and Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 93/197/EEC(3), as last amended by Decision 2002/635/EC(4), established a list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production.
(2) Kyrgyzstan was unintentionally omitted from that list by Decision 2002/635/EC. Therefore, Kyrgyzstan should be reinstated in the list.
(3) In order to obtain a health certificate E under Decision 93/197/EEC, certain health tests must be carried out on samples which are to be taken within 10 days of export. Difficulties have been encountered in meeting that deadline, in particular where such samples are to be tested in laboratories agreed by the Member State of destination. The time limit should therefore be extended.
(4) Decision 93/197/EEC should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annexes to Decision 93/197/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| Directive 2002/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 11 March 2002
establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Community
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 137(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251(4), and in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 23 January 2002,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 136 of the Treaty, a particular objective of the Community and the Member States is to promote social dialogue between management and labour.
(2) Point 17 of the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights of Workers provides, inter alia, that information, consultation and participation for workers must be developed along appropriate lines, taking account of the practices in force in different Member States.
(3) The Commission consulted management and labour at Community level on the possible direction of Community action on the information and consultation of employees in undertakings within the Community.
(4) Following this consultation, the Commission considered that Community action was advisable and again consulted management and labour on the contents of the planned proposal; management and labour have presented their opinions to the Commission.
(5) Having completed this second stage of consultation, management and labour have not informed the Commission of their wish to initiate the process potentially leading to the conclusion of an agreement.
(6) The existence of legal frameworks at national and Community level intended to ensure that employees are involved in the affairs of the undertaking employing them and in decisions which affect them has not always prevented serious decisions affecting employees from being taken and made public without adequate procedures having been implemented beforehand to inform and consult them.
(7) There is a need to strengthen dialogue and promote mutual trust within undertakings in order to improve risk anticipation, make work organisation more flexible and facilitate employee access to training within the undertaking while maintaining security, make employees aware of adaptation needs, increase employees' availability to undertake measures and activities to increase their employability, promote employee involvement in the operation and future of the undertaking and increase its competitiveness.
(8) There is a need, in particular, to promote and enhance information and consultation on the situation and likely development of employment within the undertaking and, where the employer's evaluation suggests that employment within the undertaking may be under threat, the possible anticipatory measures envisaged, in particular in terms of employee training and skill development, with a view to offsetting the negative developments or their consequences and increasing the employability and adaptability of the employees likely to be affected.
(9) Timely information and consultation is a prerequisite for the success of the restructuring and adaptation of undertakings to the new conditions created by globalisation of the economy, particularly through the development of new forms of organisation of work.
(10) The Community has drawn up and implemented an employment strategy based on the concepts of "anticipation", "prevention" and "employability", which are to be incorporated as key elements into all public policies likely to benefit employment, including the policies of individual undertakings, by strengthening the social dialogue with a view to promoting change compatible with preserving the priority objective of employment.
(11) Further development of the internal market must be properly balanced, maintaining the essential values on which our societies are based and ensuring that all citizens benefit from economic development.
(12) Entry into the third stage of economic and monetary union has extended and accelerated the competitive pressures at European level. This means that more supportive measures are needed at national level.
(13) The existing legal frameworks for employee information and consultation at Community and national level tend to adopt an excessively a posteriori approach to the process of change, neglect the economic aspects of decisions taken and do not contribute either to genuine anticipation of employment developments within the undertaking or to risk prevention.
(14) All of these political, economic, social and legal developments call for changes to the existing legal framework providing for the legal and practical instruments enabling the right to be informed and consulted to be exercised.
(15) This Directive is without prejudice to national systems regarding the exercise of this right in practice where those entitled to exercise it are required to indicate their wishes collectively.
(16) This Directive is without prejudice to those systems which provide for the direct involvement of employees, as long as they are always free to exercise the right to be informed and consulted through their representatives.
(17) Since the objectives of the proposed action, as outlined above, cannot be adequately achieved by the Member States, in that the object is to establish a framework for employee information and consultation appropriate for the new European context described above, and can therefore, in view of the scale and impact of the proposed action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve these objectives.
(18) The purpose of this general framework is to establish minimum requirements applicable throughout the Community while not preventing Member States from laying down provisions more favourable to employees.
(19) The purpose of this general framework is also to avoid any administrative, financial or legal constraints which would hinder the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings. To this end, the scope of this Directive should be restricted, according to the choice made by Member States, to undertakings with at least 50 employees or establishments employing at least 20 employees.
(20) This takes into account and is without prejudice to other national measures and practices aimed at fostering social dialogue within companies not covered by this Directive and within public administrations.
(21) However, on a transitional basis, Member States in which there is no established statutory system of information and consultation of employees or employee representation should have the possibility of further restricting the scope of the Directive as regards the numbers of employees.
(22) A Community framework for informing and consulting employees should keep to a minimum the burden on undertakings or establishments while ensuring the effective exercise of the rights granted.
(23) The objective of this Directive is to be achieved through the establishment of a general framework comprising the principles, definitions and arrangements for information and consultation, which it will be for the Member States to comply with and adapt to their own national situation, ensuring, where appropriate, that management and labour have a leading role by allowing them to define freely, by agreement, the arrangements for informing and consulting employees which they consider to be best suited to their needs and wishes.
(24) Care should be taken to avoid affecting some specific rules in the field of employee information and consultation existing in some national laws, addressed to undertakings or establishments which pursue political, professional, organisational, religious, charitable, educational, scientific or artistic aims, as well as aims involving information and the expression of opinions.
(25) Undertakings and establishments should be protected against disclosure of certain particularly sensitive information.
(26) The employer should be allowed not to inform and consult where this would seriously damage the undertaking or the establishment or where he has to comply immediately with an order issued to him by a regulatory or supervisory body.
(27) Information and consultation imply both rights and obligations for management and labour at undertaking or establishment level.
(28) Administrative or judicial procedures, as well as sanctions that are effective, dissuasive and proportionate in relation to the seriousness of the offence, should be applicable in cases of infringement of the obligations based on this Directive.
(29) This Directive should not affect the provisions, where these are more specific, of Council Directive 98/59/EC of 20 July 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies(5) and of Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses(6).
(30) Other rights of information and consultation, including those arising from Council Directive 94/45/EEC of 22 September 1994 on the establishment of a European Works Council or a procedure in Community-scale undertakings and Community-scale groups of undertakings for the purposes of informing and consulting employees(7), should not be affected by this Directive.
(31) Implementation of this Directive should not be sufficient grounds for a reduction in the general level of protection of workers in the areas to which it applies,
Object and principles
1. The purpose of this Directive is to establish a general framework setting out minimum requirements for the right to information and consultation of employees in undertakings or establishments within the Community.
2. The practical arrangements for information and consultation shall be defined and implemented in accordance with national law and industrial relations practices in individual Member States in such a way as to ensure their effectiveness.

Information and consultation deriving from an agreement
Member States may entrust management and labour at the appropriate level, including at undertaking or establishment level, with defining freely and at any time through negotiated agreement the practical arrangements for informing and consulting employees. These agreements, and agreements existing on the date laid down in Article 11, as well as any subsequent renewals of such agreements, may establish, while respecting the principles set out in Article 1 and subject to conditions and limitations laid down by the Member States, provisions which are different from those referred to in Article 4.
Confidential information
1.

2. Member States shall provide, in specific cases and within the conditions and limits laid down by national legislation, that the employer is not obliged to communicate information or undertake consultation when the nature of that information or consultation is such that, according to objective criteria, it would seriously harm the functioning of the undertaking or establishment or would be prejudicial to it.
3. Without prejudice to existing national procedures, Member States shall provide for administrative or judicial review procedures for the case where the employer requires confidentiality or does not provide the information in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2. They may also provide for procedures intended to safeguard the confidentiality of the information in question.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2793/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2860/81 (4), fixes the amount of the special aid for skimmed milk for use as feed for animals other than young calves and the maximum selling price applied by diaries; whereas, in view of changes in the market situation, this aid and the maximum selling price should be adapted;
Whereas the purpose of Regulation (EEC) No 2793/77, which is to grant special aid for skimmed milk for use as feed for animals other than young calves, requires, in the light of experience, an extension of the concept of 'young calves';
Whereas Article 2a at Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 (5) states that the aid shall be fixed on the basis of the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder; whereas the conditions for granting aid should in consequence be adapted from the beginning of the milk year; whereas on account of administrative constraints, in particular the monthly basis on which accounting systems operate, the adaptation should come into effect from the beginning of the following month; whereas the opportunity should be taken on this occasion to adapt the system in the light of experience gained;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Regulation (EEC) No 2793/77 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1 (2) '7;80 ECU per 100 kilograms' is replaced by '9;20 ECU per 100 kilograms'.
2. In Article 2 (1) (c) the ages '4 months' and '120 days' are replaced respectively by the ages '5 months' and '150 days' from 1 July 1982 onwards.
3. Article 3 (1) (c) shall read as follows:
'(c) if the dairy has adhered to:
- for this skimmed milk, a maximum ex-dairy selling price of 2;70 ECU per 100 kilograms from 20 to 31 May and of 2;20 ECU per 100 kilograms from 1 June onwards,
- for the skimmed milk referred to at Article 4 (1) (1), third indent and Article 4 (2), third indent, a maximum ex-dairy selling price of 5;10 ECU per 100 kilograms from 20 May 1982 onwards.'

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2) and in particular Article 6 and 7 thereof,
(1) Whereas, as a consequence of the action taken by the Bulgarian authorities to prohibit the spread of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease, that country was regionalised by Commission Decision 96/730/EC of 17 December 1996 concerning certain protective measures with regard to import of certain animals and their products from Bulgaria and repealing Decision 96/643/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 98/373/EC(4);
(2) Whereas the import of bovine animals is banned from six provinces of Bulgaria by Commission Decision 98/372/EC of 29 May 1998 concerning the animal health conditions and veterinary certifications for import of live animals of bovine and porcine species from certain European countries(5), as amended by Decision 98/505/EC(6);
(3) Whereas giving consideration to the improvement of the animal health situation in Bulgaria and that the country has been free from foot and mouth disease for the last two years;
(4) Whereas, following a recent Commission veterinary mission, it appears that the Bulgarian veterinary services control satisfactorily the whole country and therefore it is possible to lift the ban for remaining six provinces of Bulgaria;
(5) Whereas it is considered necessary to keep the restriction for the Bulgarian territory comprising the 20-km-wide corridor along the border with Turkey;
(6) Whereas it is still considered necessary to submit the importation of bovine animals to a pre-import quarantine, as a supplementary guarantee, as fixed in Annex IV to Decision 98/372/EC;
(7) Whereas classical swine fever still persists in the feral pig population in some areas of the Czech Republic;
(8) Whereas this situation is liable to endanger the herds of the European Community;
(9) Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the conditions for imports of live animals of porcine species from some areas of the Czech Republic to take into account the evolution of the epidemiological situation in relation to classical swine fever;
(10) Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 98/372/EC is amended as follows:
1. Annex I is replaced by Annex I to the present Decision.
2. Annex II is replaced by Annex II to the present Decision.

(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2010.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1) ,
Whereas a Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, hereinafter referred to as "the Cooperation Agreement", and an Interim Agreement (2)were signed on 18 January 1977;
Whereas for the purpose of implementing the safeguard clauses and precautionary measures provided for in Articles 30 to 32 and 40 of the Cooperation Agreement and in Articles 22 to 24 and 31 of the Interim Agreement, detailed rules should be laid down for the application of Community Regulations, in particular Council Regulation (EEC) No 1439/74 of 4 June 1974 on common rules for imports (3), and Council Regulation (EEC) No 459/68 of 5 April 1968 on protection against dumping or the granting of bounties or subsidies by countries which are not members of the European Economic Community (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2011/73 (5),
In the case of practices liable to lay the Community open to safeguard measures on the basis of Article 32 of the Cooperation Agreement and Article 24 of the Interim Agreement, the Commission shall decide, without prejudice to Article 2 of this Regulation and after examining the case on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, whether the practices in question are compatible with the Agreement.

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 20 October 2006.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) A preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 10287) was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening and piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1332/2004 (3) and authorised for four years for pigs for fattening and ducks by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 (4). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of that preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 10287), as a feed additive for chickens and turkeys for fattening, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and ducks and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for all poultry species for fattening, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 June 2012 (5) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 10287), does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to favourably affect animal performance in chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening and ducks for fattening. This conclusion can be extrapolated to all minor poultry species for fattening. It is also concluded that the additive has the potential to favourably affect animal performance in piglets and pigs for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 10287) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulations (EC) No 1332/2004 and (EC) No 2036/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

32009D0417 | 2009/417/EC: Council Decision of 27 April 2009 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Spain
| 30.5.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 135/25
COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 April 2009
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Spain
(2009/417/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Spain,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 104 of the Treaty Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 104, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of the said Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that in particular the economic and budgetary background was taken fully into account in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Spain. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Spain on 24 March 2009 (3).
(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Spain, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.
(7) According to the January 2009 update of the stability programme, Spain’s general government deficit is estimated to have reached 3,4 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. The deficit was close to the 3 % of GDP reference value but the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact with real GDP growth in Spain estimated to have attained 1,2 % of GDP in 2008, after 3,7 % in 2007, and with the output gap remaining positive. Furthermore, the excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary.
(8) According to the Commission services’ January 2009 interim forecast, the general government headline deficit will increase to 6,2 % of GDP in 2009, including deficit-increasing one-off measures worth over 0,5 % of GDP. The forecast was based on a projected GDP contraction by 2 % as well as on a prudent assessment of both the 2009 Budget Law and the fiscal package announced by the Spanish authorities on 27 November 2008. Based on the customary unchanged policies assumption, the 2010 deficit is projected at 5,7 % of GDP. Therefore, the deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(9) General government gross debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at an estimated 39,5 % of GDP in 2008 according to the January 2009 stability programme. However, according to the Commission services’ January 2009 interim forecast, the general government debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to increase significantly reaching 53 % in 2010.
(10) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) if the double condition – that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary – is fully met. In the case of Spain, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Spain.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 20 January 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include hymexazol as active substance and amending Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
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 Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included hymexazol.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the applicant withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of hymexazol.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to Finland, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) Finland evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 17 September 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on hymexazol to the Commission on 4 November 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 23 November 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for hymexazol.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing hymexazol may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include hymexazol in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming the nature of residues in root crops and to confirm the risk for granivorous birds and mammals.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing hymexazol to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of hymexazol and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning hymexazol in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) 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.
The line concerning hymexazol in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing hymexazol as an active substance by 1 December 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to hymexazol are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing hymexazol as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning hymexazol.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 of 25 July 1994 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Malta, Morocco, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Tunisia and Turkey, and providing detailed rules for extending and adapting these tariff quotas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 592/97 (2), and in particular Articles 6 and 7 thereof,
Whereas with the amending Council Regulations (EC) No 3057/95 (3) and (EC) No 1877/96 (4), Community tariff quotas were opened in Annex IV for tomatoes, courgettes, artichokes, cucumbers, oranges and clementines originating in Morocco with the application of special entry prices in order to advance the implementation of certain provisions of the agricultural part of the future Euro-Mediterranean Agreement between the Community and Morocco;
Whereas these provisions provide that the special entry prices shall be reduced in the same proportions and at the same time as the entry prices bound within the WTO; whereas it seems therefore appropriate to amend Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 in order to publish for future marketing years, the reduced entry prices applicable within the framework of Community tariff quotas for agricultural products concerned originating in Morocco;
Whereas the Euro-Mediterranean Interim Association Agreement on trade and cooperation between the European Community and the PLO for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (5), provides no tariff quotas different from those currently applicable within the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1134/91 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 539/96 (7), on the tariff arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; whereas it is therefore not necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 at the entry into force of the Agreement referred to;
Whereas the measures provided in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Footnote 5 at the end of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 shall be replaced by the following:
'(5) Within these tariff quotas, the agreed entry price from which the specific duty provided in the Community's list of concessions to the WTO is reduced to zero, is:

- ECU 424/tonne, for every period thereafter, from 1 to 31 January, from 1 to 20 April and from 1 October to 31 December,
- during the period 1 February to 31 March the 'WTO` entry price which is more favourable than the agreed entry prices shall apply;
(e) for oranges:

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

Whereas:
(1) On 15 November 1999 the Council adopted Decision 1999/730/CFSP concerning a European Union contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons in Cambodia(2), which was aimed at implementing Joint Action 1999/34/CFSP(3).
(2) Some objectives could not be fulfilled by 15 November 2002, the date on which Decision 2001/796/CFSP expired, and others should be consolidated and expanded after that date.
(3) The European Union's continued contribution is part of the follow-up to the Programme of Action to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects adopted by the United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in all its Aspects (New York, 9 to 20 July 2001). This should encourage other donors to support the drive to reduce and control small arms and light weapons and, where appropriate, allow the implementation of joint projects with other donors.
(4) Decision 1999/730/CFSP should therefore be extended and amended,
Decision 1999/730/CFSP is hereby amended as follows:
(a) in Article 3(1), the financial reference amount shall be replaced by EUR 1568000;
(b) in the second subparagraph of Article 4, "15 November 2002" shall be replaced by "15 November 2003";

Whereas, in view of their climatic conditions, barley production in Finland and Sweden is predominantly of six-row varieties due to their shorter growing period in comparison to two-row varieties; whereas the kernel size of six-row barley in these countries is under 2,2 millimetres; whereas the barley does not therefore meet the intervention quality requirements on kernel size; whereas the immediate application of the Community rules would be likely to lead to a risk of large quantities of barley being excluded from intervention in Finland and Sweden; whereas this would consequently give rise to substantial difficulties for Finnish and Swedish producers; whereas it is therefore necessary temporarily to authorize Finland and Sweden to accept barley with a kernel size of under 2,2 millimetres into intervention; whereas the acceptance of a lower kernel size should not lead to barley of an inferior quality being accepted into intervention; whereas, therefore, the barley concerned should be required to meet a higher specific weight of at least 64kg/hl;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2204/94 (6), lays down the conditions for taking over cereals into intervention; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
The following subparagraph is added after the first subparagraph of Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 689/92:
'However, by way of derogation from paragraph 2 (a) of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2731/75, in the case of barley harvested in Finland or Sweden with a specific weight of at least 64kg/hl and offered for intervention in those countries until the end of the 1995/96 marketing year, "shrivelled grains" shall mean grains which, after elimination of all the other matter referred to in the Annex to that Regulation, pass through sieves with apertures measuring 2 millimetres.`

of 9 June 1987
increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota, opened for 1987, for ferro-chromium containing not less than 6 % by weight of carbon falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 476/87 (1), the Council opened, for 1987, and allocated among the Member States, a duty-free Community tariff quota for ferro-chromium containing not less that 6 % by weight of carbon, falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff, and the volume of which was provisionally fixed at 120 000 tonnes;
Whereas it can be estimated, from the economic data now available on consumption, production and imports benefiting from other preferential tariff arrangements, that immediate Community requirements of imports from third countries for products of this kind could, during the current year, reach levels higher than the volume laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 476/87; whereas, in order not to disturb the equilibrium of the market for this product and to ensure parallel development in sales of Community production and satisfactory security of supplies to the user industries, it is appropriate to provide for an increase in volume by a quantity corresponding to the needs of user industries until the end of the current year, that is to say, to 100 000 tonnes; whereas fixing the increase at this level does not however exclude a new adjustment in the autumn;
Whereas, it is appropriate to divide into two instalments the volume of the increase, the first instalment being allocated among certain Member States in proportion to their foreseeable needs, and the second held as a Community reserve to cover possible additional requirements,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 476/87 for ferro-chromium containing not less than 6 % by weight of carbon, falling within subheading ex 73.02 E I of the Common Customs Tariff , shall be raised from 120 000 to 220 000 tonnes.
1. A first instalment of the additional volume referred to in Article 1 and amounting to 90 100 tonnes shall be allocated among certain Member States as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 3 357 // Germany // 31 446 // Spain // 9 783 // France // 20 961 // Italy // 15 372 // Portugal // 100 // United Kingdom // 9 081.
2. The second instalment, being 9 900 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve. The reserve provided for in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 476/87 shall thus be raised from 11 870 tonnes to 21 770 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain wines having a registered designation of origin falling within subheading ex 22.05 C of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Tunisia (1987/88)
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 3 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Tunisia (1) stipulates that certain wines having a registered designation of origin, falling within subheading ex 22.05 C of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Tunisia, as specified in the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters and produced from the 1977 and subsequent harvests, shall be imported into the Community free of customs duties within the limits of an annual Community tariff quota of 50 000 hectolitres;
Whereas these wines must be put up in containers holding two litres or less; whereas they must be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin in accordance with the model given in Annex D to the abovementioned Agreement or, by way of derogation, by a document V I 1 or an extract V I 2 annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85 (2); whereas the abovementioned Community tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the period 1 November 1987 to 31 October 1988;
Whereas the wines in question are subject to compliance with the free-at-frontier reference price; whereas, in order for these wines to benefit from the tariff quota, Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (3) must be complied with;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey on the other (4) provides that the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply, from the date on which the Regulation enters into force a duty reducing the gap between the rate of the basic duty and that of the preferential duty, whereas the Portuguese Republic is to defer application of the preferential arrangements for the products in question until the start of the second stage; whereas this present Regulation therefore applies to the Community with the exception of Portugal;
Whereas, as from 1 January 1988, the nomenclature used by the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the Combined Nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System; whereas this Regulation takes account of this fact by indicating the Combined Nomenclature codes and, where appropriate, the Taric code numbers of the products concerned;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure equal and uninterrupted access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for this quota to all imports of the products concerned into the Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas a system of using a Community tariff quota, based on allocation among the Member States, appears likely to comply with the Community nature of the said quota having regard to the above principles; whereas, in order to reflect most accurately the actual development of the market in the products in question, such allocation should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States assessed by reference both to the statistics relating to imports of the said products from Tunisia over a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period concerned;
Whereas in this case, however, neither Community nor national statistics showing the breakdown for each of the types of wines in question are available and no reliable estimates of future imports can be made; whereas in these circumstances the quota volumes should be allocated in initial shares, taking into account demand for these wines on the markets of the various Member States;
Whereas, to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota amount should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among the Member States and the second held as a reserve intended to cover at a later date the requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share; whereas, in order to guarantee some degree of security to importers in each Member State an appropriate level for, the first part of the Community quota would, in the present circumstances, be 40 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may not be used up at the same rate; whereas, in order to take this into account and avoid any break in continuity, any Member State which has used up almost all its initial share should draw a further share from the reserve; whereas this should be done by each Member State each time one of its additional shares is almost used up, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must be in a position in particular to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a Member State has a considerable quantity of the initial share left over, it is essential that it should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve to prevent a part of the Community quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
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, all transactions concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 November 1987 to 31 October 1988, on import into the Community with the exception of Portugal, the customs duty for the following products shall be suspended at a level and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as follows:
1.2.3.4.5.6 // // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Combined Nomenclature code (1) // Description // Amount of tariff quota (in hl) // Tariff quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // // 09.1206 // ex 22.05 C // ex 2204 21 25 ex 2204 21 29 ex 2204 21 35 ex 2204 21 39 // Wine of fresh grapes; grape must with fermentation arrested by the addition of alcohol Other: - Wines entitled to one of the following designations of origin: // 50 000 // free // // // // Coteaux de Tebourba, Coteaux d'Utique, Sidi-Salem, Kelibia, Thibar, Mornag, grand cru Mornag of an actual alcoholic strength of 15 % vol or less and in containers holding two litres or less, originating in Tunisia // // // // // // // //
(1) From 1 January 1988, the numbers in the column headed 'Combined Nomenclature code' will replace those in the column headed 'CCT heading No'.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87.
2. Wines produced from the 1977 or subsequent harvests shall be eligible for the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1.
3. The wines in question are subject to compliance with the free-at-frontier reference price.
The wines in question shall be eligible under this tariff quota on condition that the provisions of Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 are complied with.
4. Each of these wines when imported shall be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin, issued by the relevant Tunisian authority, in accordance with the model annexed to this Regulation and certifying in box 16 that the wines have been produced from the 1977 or subsequent harvests, or by a document V I 1 or an extract V I 2 annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.
2. The first part of the quota shall be allocated among the Member States, the shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid up to 31 October 1988, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (hecto- litres) // Benelux // 3 280 // Denmark // 2 000 // Germany // 4 000 // Greece // 640 // Spain // 640 // France // 4 000 // Ireland // 800 // Italy // 1 600 // United Kingdom // 3 040
3. The second part of the quota, amounting to 30 000 hectolitres shall constitute the reserve.
1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share, as specified in Article 2 (2), or of that share less the portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall, without delay, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share equal to 15 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next whole number, in so far as the amount in the reserve allows.
2. If, after its initial share has been used up, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 7,5 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next whole number, in so far as the amount in the reserve allows.
3. If, after its second share has been used up, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue until the reserve is used up.
4. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may draw smaller shares than those specified in these paragraphs if there is reason to believe that they might not be used up. They shall inform the Commission of their reasons for applying this paragraph.
The additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 October 1988.
Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 September 1988, the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 August 1988, is in excess of 20 % of the initial amount. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that such portion might not be used in full.
Member States shall notify the Commission not later than 1 September 1988 of the total quantities of the products concerned imported under the Community quota up to and including 15 August 1988 and, where appropriate, the proportion of their initial share that they are returning to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep account of the shares opened by Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up as soon as it has been notified.
The Commission shall notify the Member States, not later than 5 September 1988, of the state of the reserve after the return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
The Community shall ensure that the drawing which uses up the reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the final drawing.
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products concerned against their shares as and when the products are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3587/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 304/92 (4), set the conversion factors to be used for calculating the buying-in prices for products with commercial characteristics differing from those for which the standard basic and buying-in prices are set;

Whereas in view of their similarity the same conversion factor must be applied to the varieties 'Ingrid Marie and Red Ingrid Marie (Karin Schneider)';
Whereas it has become apparent that the characteristics of the varieties 'Ingrid Marie', 'Red Dougherty' and 'Red Ingrid Marie (Karin Schneider)' do not allow them to be classified as large fruit varieties; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 (5) laying down quality standards for carrots, citrus fruit and dessert apples and pears and amending Commission Regulation No 58, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 658/92 (6), so classified these varieties; whereas they should also be removed from the list of varieties of large dessert apples given in Annex X to Regulation (EEC) No 3587/86;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2598/95 (2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, it is necessary to determine the number of pure-bred breeding bovines and horses originating in the Community which are eligible for aid with a view to encouraging the development of those sectors in the French overseas departments (FOD);
Whereas the quantities of the forecast supply balance and the level of aid for those products are fixed by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 (3) and (EEC) No 1148/93 (4), both as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1318/98 (5); whereas the Annexes to those Regulations should therefore be amended;
Whereas the need might arise in the French overseas departments for additional supplies of pure-bred breeding bovines and horses in particular marketing years; whereas, therefore, the French authorities should be granted some leeway in their management of the scheme so they can issue aid certificates for animals intended for certain overseas departments in excess of the maximum quantities available to those departments, on condition that the overall maximum quantity available for all four overseas departments is complied with; whereas, in order to take proper account of such additional supply requirements for subsequent years, the French authorities should inform the Commission of cases in which certificates have been issued using this discretionary power;
Whereas, as a result of the presentation by the French authorities of information on the needs of the French overseas departments, the Annexes to Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 should be replaced by the Annexes to this Regulation;
Whereas the balances should be fixed on the basis of the calendar year;
Whereas application of the criteria for fixing the amount of Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the exchange rates and prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market, gives rise to aid for the supply of the FODs with pure-bred breeding animals at the levels fixed in the Annex hereto;
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the introduction of the euro (6) provides that as from 1 January 1999, all references to the ecu in legal instruments are to be replaced by references to the euro at the rate of EUR 1 to ECU 1; whereas, for the sake of clarity, the denomination 'euro` should be used in this Regulation since it is to apply from 1 January 1999;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2312/92 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1148/93 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98(2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1472/2000(3), the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of polyester staple fibres originating in India and the Republic of Korea ("Korea").
(2) In respect of one cooperating exporting producer in Korea, together with a related trading company in Korea, the dumping margin, upon which the measure was based, was inaccurately recorded due to a computer spreadsheet formula error.
(3) In particular, the dumping margin of 9,7 % for SK Chemicals Co. Ltd, Seoul, and SK Global Co. Ltd, Seoul, stated in recital 59 should read 5,3 %.
(4) Furthermore, in the operative part of the Regulation the anti-dumping duty to be imposed for these two companies was incorrectly stated,
In the table in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1472/2000, the rate of duty of "9,7 %" for SK Chemicals Co. Ltd, 948/1, Daechi 3-dong, Kangnam-ku, Seoul 135-283, Korea, and for SK Global Co. Ltd, 36-1, 2Ga, Ulchiro, Chung-Gu, Seoul, Korea, is replaced by "5,3 %".
The amendment referred to in Article 1 shall have effect from the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1472/2000.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 720/2010
of 11 August 2010
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 599/2009 on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America by imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada and Singapore, whether declared as originating in Canada and Singapore or not and by imports of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, and making such imports subject to registration
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 13(3), 14(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America.
The request was lodged on 30 June 2010 by the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) on behalf of the Union producers of biodiesel.
B. PRODUCT
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, currently falling within CN codes ex 1516 20 98, ex 1518 00 91, ex 1518 00 99, ex 2710 19 41, 3824 90 91, ex 3824 90 97, and originating in the United States of America (‘the product concerned’).
The product under investigation is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, consigned from Canada and Singapore and biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, originating in the United States of America (‘the product under investigation’), currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned with the exception of CN code 3824 90 91 for which the investigation is limited to products consigned from Canada and Singapore.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 599/2009 (2).
D. GROUNDS
The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America are being circumvented by means of the transhipment of biodiesel via Canada and Singapore and by exports of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of biodiesel.
The evidence submitted is as follows:
The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the United States of America, Canada and Singapore to the Union has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and that there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change.
This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of biodiesel originating in the United States of America via Canada and Singapore.
It is also submitted that following the imposition of the measures, exports of biodiesel in blends containing 20 % or less of biodiesel from the United States of America begun to arrive into the Union, allegedly taking advantage of the biodiesel content threshold set in the description of the product concerned.
Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of biodiesel from Canada and Singapore and of biodiesel in blends containing 20 % or less of biodiesel, appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increased volume of imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
Should circumvention practices covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than the practices described above, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.
E. PROCEDURE
In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada and Singapore, whether declared as originating in Canada and Singapore or not, as well as imports from the United States of America of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in Canada, and Singapore, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the United States of America, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the United States of America, Canada and Singapore. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.
In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
The authorities of the United States of America and Canada and Singapore will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures
In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product under investigation that can show that they are not related (3) to any producer subject to the measures (4) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of such imports consigned from Canada and Singapore as well as imports from the United States of America of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin.
In order that the registration is sufficiently effective in view of an eventual retroactive levying of an anti-dumping duty, the declarant should indicate on the customs declaration the proportion in the blend, by weight, of the total content of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin (biodiesel content).
G. TIME LIMITS
In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— producers in Canada Singapore and the United States of America may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The investigation will be concluded, according to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
J. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).
K. HEARING OFFICER
It is also noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of their rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of Directorate-General for Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this proceeding, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views. For further information and contact details, interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade (http://ec.europa.eu/trade),
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine:
(a) if imports into the Union of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, consigned from Canada and Singapore, whether declared as originating in Canada and Singapore or not, and currently falling within CN codes ex 1516 20 98 (TARIC code 1516209821), ex 1518 00 91 (TARIC code 1518009121), ex 1518 00 99 (TARIC code 1518009921), ex 2710 19 41 (TARIC code 2710194121), ex 3824 90 91 (TARIC code 3824909110) and ex 3824 90 97 (TARIC code 3824909701) are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 599/2009 and
(b) if imports into the Union of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, originating in the United States of America, and currently falling within CN codes ex 1516 20 98 (TARIC code 1516209830), ex 1518 00 91 (TARIC code 1518009130), ex 1518 00 99 (TARIC code 1518009930), ex 2710 19 41 (TARIC code 2710194130) and ex 3824 90 97 (TARIC code 3824909704) are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 599/2009.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
The declarant shall indicate on the customs declaration the proportion in the blend, by weight, of the total content of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin (biodiesel content).
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by Regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Producers in Canada, Singapore and the United States of America requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time limit.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 3 (1) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1579/7A is replaced by the following:
‘(a) In the case referred to in the preceding subparagraph, and except in respect of products falling within subheading 23.07 B specified in Annex A of Regulation No 120/67/EEC any adjustment of the levy shall subject to the operation of the second subparagraph of Article 15 (3) of Regulation No 120/67/EEC, be made in relation to the threshold price for the basic product or products used for the purpose of calculating the variable component of the levy operative on the day of importation. Such adjustment shall be made by increasing or reducing the levy which was fixed in advance by the difference between the threshold price for 100 kg of the basic product operative for the month in which the application is made and that operative for the month of importation, that difference being multiplied by the coefficient shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68.
(b) With regard to the products referred to in Article 2, the levy fixed in advance shall moreover be adjusted if the production refunds fixed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 are altered between the day on which the licence is applied for and the day of importation. Such adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the amount of levy fixed in advance by reference to the difference resulting from such alteration, that difference being multiplied by the coefficient shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 against the products in question.’

COUNCIL DECISION 2010/231/CFSP
of 26 April 2010
concerning restrictive measures against Somalia and repealing Common Position 2009/138/CFSP
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 10 December 2002, the Council adopted Common Position 2002/960/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Somalia (1) following United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) 733 (1992), 1356 (2001) and 1425 (2002) relating to an arms embargo against Somalia.
(2) On 16 February 2009, the Council adopted Common Position 2009/138/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Somalia and repealing Common Position 2002/960/CFSP (2), implementing UNSCR 1844 (2008) which introduced restrictive measures against those who seek to prevent or block a peaceful political process, or those who threaten the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) of Somalia or the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) by force, or take action that undermines stability in Somalia or in the region.
(3) On 1 March 2010, the Council adopted Council Decision 2010/126/CFSP amending Common Position 2009/138/CFSP (3) and implementing UNSCR 1907 (2009) which called upon all States to inspect, in accordance with their national authorities and legislation and consistent with international law, all cargoes to and from Somalia, in their territory, including seaports and airports, if the State concerned has information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the cargo contains items whose supply, sale, transfer or export is prohibited under the general and complete arms embargo to Somalia established pursuant to paragraph 5 of UNSCR 733 (1992) and elaborated and amended by subsequent resolutions.
(4) On 19 March 2010, the United Nations Security Council (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Security Council’) adopted UNSCR 1916 (2010) which, inter alia, extended the mandate of the monitoring group referred to in paragraph 3 of UNSCR 1558 (2004) and decided to ease some restrictions and obligations under the sanctions regime to enable the delivery of supplies and technical assistance by international, regional and sub-regional organisations and to ensure the timely delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance by the United Nations (UN).
(5) On 12 April 2010, the Sanctions Committee established by paragraph 11 of UNSCR 751 (1992) concerning Somalia (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Sanctions Committee’) adopted the list of persons and entities which are subject to restrictive measures.
(6) For the sake of clarity, the measures imposed by Common Position 2009/138/CFSP as amended by Council Decision 2010/126/CFSP and the exemptions provided for in UNSCR 1916 (2010) should be integrated into a single legal instrument.
(7) Common Position 2009/138/CFSP should therefore be repealed.
(8) This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (4) and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial, the right to property and the right to the protection of personal data. This Decision should be applied in accordance with those rights and principles.
(9) This Decision also fully respects the obligations of Member States under the Charter of the United Nations and the legally binding nature of Security Council Resolutions.
(10) The procedure for amending the Annex to this Decision should include providing to designated persons and entities the reasons for their listing as transmitted by the Sanctions Committee, so as to give them an opportunity to present observations. Where observations are submitted or where substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in the light of those observations and inform the person or entity concerned accordingly.
(11) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,
1. The direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of arms and related material of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned to Somalia by nationals of Member States or from the territories of Member States shall be prohibited whether originating or not in their territories.
2. The direct or indirect supply to Somalia of technical advice, financial and other assistance and training related to military activities, including in particular technical training and assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of the items mentioned in paragraph 1, by nationals of Member States or from the territories of the Member States, shall be prohibited.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to:
(a) the supply, sale or transfer of arms and related material of all types and the direct or indirect supply of technical advice, financial and other assistance and training related to military activities intended solely for the support of or use by AMISOM as stipulated in paragraph 4 of UNSCR 1744 (2007) or for the sole use of States and regional organisations undertaking measures in accordance with paragraph 6 of UNSCR 1851 (2008) and paragraph 10 of UNSCR 1846 (2008);
(b) the supply, sale or transfer of arms and related material of all types and to the direct or indirect supply of technical advice intended solely for the purpose of helping to develop security sector institutions, consistent with the political process set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of UNSCR 1744 (2007) and in the absence of a negative decision by the Sanctions Committee within five working days of receiving the relevant notification;
(c) the supply, sale or transfer of non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use, or of material intended for institution building programmes of the Union, or Member States, including in the field of security, carried out within the framework of the Peace and Reconciliation Process, as approved in advance by the Sanctions Committee, and to protective clothing, including flak jackets and military helmets, temporarily exported to Somalia by UN personnel, representatives of the media and humanitarian and development workers and associated personnel for their personal use only.
Restrictive measures as provided for in Articles 3, 5(1) and 6(1) and (2) shall be imposed against persons and entities designated by the Sanctions Committee as:

1. Member States shall inspect, in accordance with their national authorities and legislation and consistent with international law, all cargo to and from Somalia in their territory, including at their airports and seaports, if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the cargo contains items the supply, sale, transfer or export of which is prohibited under Article 3.
2. Aircrafts and vessels transporting cargo to and from Somalia shall be subject to the requirement of additional pre-arrival or pre-departure information for all goods brought into or out of a Member State.
3. Member States shall, upon discovery, seize and dispose of (either by destroying or rendering inoperable) items the supply, sale, transfer or export of which is prohibited under Article 3.
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of the persons referred to in Article 2.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply where the Sanctions Committee:
(a) determines on a case-by-case basis that such entry or transit is justified on the grounds of humanitarian need, including religious obligation,
(b) determines on a case-by-case basis that an exemption would otherwise further the objectives of peace and national reconciliation in Somalia and stability in the region.
4. In cases where, pursuant to paragraph 3, a Member State authorises the entry into, or transit through, its territory of persons designated by the Sanctions Committee, the authorisation shall be limited to the purpose for which it is given and to the persons concerned thereby.
1. All funds and economic resources owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the persons or entities referred to in Article 2 or held by entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by them or by any persons or entities acting on their behalf or at their direction, as designated by the Sanctions Committee, shall be frozen.

4. The exemptions referred to in paragraph 3(a), (b) and (c) may be made after notification to the Sanctions Committee by the Member State concerned of its intention to authorise, where appropriate, access to such funds and economic resources, and in the absence of a negative decision by the Sanctions Committee within three working days of such notification.
5. Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns a request of a new use of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying and minor poultry species other than those used for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of that preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 was authorised for 10 years, for piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 538/2007 (2), for sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1521/2007 (3), and for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 998/2010 (4).
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 March 2013 (5) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that since the potential to improve zootechnical parameters was already demonstrated in chickens for fattening, this conclusion can be extended to chickens reared for laying and extrapolated to minor poultry species other than those used for laying. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 30 November 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories', ordered 15 October 1979 and to be used for the determination of periodic and aperiodic changes in the earth's gravitational field, with high precision, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a gravimeter; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'GWR - Superconducting Gravimeter, model TT 40, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 30 November 1981, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
