Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3309/85 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1626/86 (5), laid down general rules for the description of sparkling wines and aerated sparkling wines; whereas, to prevent any distortion of existing trade patterns, provision should be made under these rules that sparkling wines originating in third countries may be described as 'Sekt' if they are recognized as equivalent to a quality sparkling wine originating in the Community;
Whereas quality sparkling wines of the aromatic type are very similar, by virtue of their high residual sugar content, to quality sparkling wines of the aromatic type produced in specified regions; whereas, therefore, these two categories of product should be subject to the same rules as regards the description of this characteristic on the labelling;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3309/85 should be brought into line with the provisions covering the indication of the address of the bottler of still wines,
Regulation (EEC) No 3309/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following:
'Where the label features the name or business name of the producer and where production takes place in a different local administrative area, part of such area or Member State from that referred to in the second indent of the first subparagraph, the information referred to therein shall be supplemented by the name of the local administrative area or part of such area where production was carried out and, if production took place in another Member State, by the name of that Member State.'
2. In Article 5:
(a) Paragraph 2 (e) is replaced by the following:
'(e) in the case of sparkling wine originating in a third country:
- "sparkling wine"
or
- "quality sparkling wine" or "Sekt", where the conditions laid down for the production of such wine have been recognized as equivalent to those set out in Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 358/79.
For such sparkling wines the sales description shall be accompanied by a reference to the third country in which the grapes used where harvested, fermented and made into sparkling wine. Where the products used to produce the sparkling wine were obtained in a country other than that in which production took place, the indication of the country of production pursuant to Article 3 (3) must stand out clearly from all the indications shown on the labelling.';
(b) The third subparagraph of paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
'Notwithstanding Article 3 (1) (c), for quality sparkling wines of the aromatic type and for quality sparkling wines of the aromatic type produced in specified regions as referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 358/79, indication of the type of product as referred to in the first subparagraph may be replaced by indication of the residual sugar content expressed in grams per litre as determined by analysis.';
(c) The first subparagraph of paragraph 5 is replaced by the following:
'Where the name of a local administrative area or part of such area features on the label, either to indicate where the producer or another person involved in the commercial distribution of the product has his head office or to indicate where production took place, and those particulars include the name of a specified region within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 other than that which may be used to describe the product in question, that name shall be given by means of a code.'

(2) The Czech Republic submitted to the Commission a request to extend the product categories, included in the list provided for in Article 11(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, in order to include livestock and livestock products. It submitted the information required pursuant to Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 94/92.
(3) The examination of this information and consequent discussion with the authorities of the Czech Republic has led to the conclusion that in this country the rules governing production and inspection of livestock and livestock products are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
(4) However, the result of the examination revealed also that the Czech rules relating to products bearing or intended to bear indications referring to conversion are not equivalent to those in Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, as regards products containing more than one ingredient of agricultural origin. Consequently, these products are not covered by the present Regulation.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 introducing detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, as regards the minimum area requirement for the transitional fruit and vegetable payments in Cyprus and the single area payment scheme for farmers in Poland and Slovakia
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 142(c) and (e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards the support schemes for farmers provided for in Titles IV and V thereof (2), the transitional fruit and vegetable payments referred to in Article 1(1)(g) of that Regulation may be granted only for the areas which have been the subject of an aid application in respect of at least 0,3 hectares. By letters of 18 February 2010 and 1 March 2010, Cyprus has informed the Commission about specific size of agricultural holdings and the structure of aid applications in respect of transitional fruit and vegetable payments granted for citrus fruits. As a result, the minimum area for which this payment shall be granted needs to be decreased to 0,1 hectares.
(2) Article 124(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 lays down the rules fixing the agricultural area of the new Member States under the single area payment scheme provided for in Article 122 of that Regulation.
(3) In accordance with Article 89 of Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009, the agricultural areas for Poland and Slovakia are set out in Annex VIII to that Regulation.
(4) By letter of 1 December 2009, Poland has informed the Commission that it had reviewed its utilised agricultural area eligible for the single area payment scheme, as referred to in Article 124(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The revision follows the updating of the identification system for agricultural parcels referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, which has shown that the part of the utilised agricultural area maintained in good agricultural condition on 30 June 2003 was less than previously estimated. The agricultural area for the single area payment scheme should therefore be reduced to 14 137 000 ha.
(5) By letter of 4 January 2010, Slovakia has informed the Commission that it had reviewed its utilised agricultural area eligible for the single area payment scheme, as referred to in Article 124(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The revision is a consequence of the experience gained in recent years from the verification of the eligibility conditions for the single area payment under the single area payment scheme, which has shown that the utilised agricultural area maintained in good agricultural condition on 30 June 2003 is less than previously estimated. The agricultural area for the single area payment scheme should therefore be reduced to 1 865 000 ha.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The amendment proposed by this Regulation should apply to premium periods starting from 1 January 2010.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 5(1), the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:
2. Annex VIII is amended as follows:
(a) The row concerning Poland is replaced by the following:
‘Poland 14 137’
(b) The row concerning Slovakia is replaced by the following:
‘Slovakia 1 865’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to aid applications relating to premium periods starting from 1 January 2010.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2224/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas the programme covers, for the whole of Italy, on the one hand restructuring, rationalization and modernization of installations for the processing and marketing of cows', sheep and goat milk and milk products and the creation of new capacity for sheep and goat milk, and for 'marginal areas' of the North and for the Mezzogiorno on the other, one construction of new cows' milk production capacity in order to increase the productivity and profitability of the sector and adapt it to market requirements; whereas it is therefore a programme as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas approval of the programme is without prejudice to the decisions to be taken under Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 with regard to Community financing of the projects and cannot therefore be taken to extend to projects falling into those categories that do not satisfy the criteria contained in the Commission's Decisions on the choice of projects to be financed under that Regulation;
Whereas the programme contains sufficient information, as required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in respect of the abovementioned sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the programme does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
The programme relating to the processing and marketing of milk in Italy, transmitted by the Italian Government pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 30 April 1986, is hereby approved.
Approval does not extend to projects falling into those categories that do not satisfy the criteria contained in the Commission's Decisions on the choice of projects to be financed under that Regulation.

The prices for feed grain within the Community shall be determined once a year for a period of 12 months beginning on 1 July, on the basis of the threshold prices for such grain and the monthly increase thereof. They shall be used for fixing the levy from 1 July of each year.
The prices for feed grain on the world market shall be determined quarterly on the basis of prices for such grain recorded for the five-month period ending one month before the beginning of the quarter for which the said component is calculated.
However, when the levy applicable from 1 October, 1 January and 1 April is being fixed, trends in world market prices for feed grain shall be taken into account only if at the same time a new sluice-gate price is being fixed;

Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Point (e) in Article 1 (2) is deleted.
2. Article 4 (1) is replaced by the following:
´1. The levy on slaughtered poultry shall be composed of:
(a) one component equal to the difference between prices within the Community and on the world market for the quantity of feed grain, varied according to the kind of poultry, which is required for the production in the Community of one kilogram of slaughtered poultry.
The prices for feed grain within the Community shall be determined once a year for a period of 12 months beginning on 1 July, on the basis of the threshold prices and the monthly increases therein. They shall be used for fixing the levy from 1 July each year.

However, when the levies applicable from 1 October, 1 January and 1 April are being fixed, trends in world market prices for feed grain shall be taken into account only if at the time a new sluice-gate price is being fixed.
(b) one component equal to 7 % of the average of the sluice-gate prices ruling for the four quarters preceding 1 April of each year.
This component shall be calculated once a year for a period of 12 months beginning 1 July.'

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4097/88 (1) opened, for 1989, a Community tariff quota of 3 000 tonnes at a duty of 10 % for sweet, clear-fleshed cherries, marinated in alcohol, intended for the manufacture of chocolate products and falling within CN code ex 2008 60 39; whereas it is in the Community's interest to extend the benefit of the tariff quota in question to similar products with a sugar content of more than 9 % but not exceeding 12 % by weight falling within CN code ex 2008 60 19, and to fix the rate of duty applicable to these products at 10 % + AGR; whereas it is necessary therefore to amend the said Regulation accordingly,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 23(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Council adopted regulations fixing for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (2).
(2) Following national investigations carried out in 2005 and 2006 by the United Kingdom the Commission has been notified by the United Kingdom and Ireland that they exceeded the fishing opportunities allocated to them in terms of catches of mackerel (United Kingdom and Ireland) and herring (United Kingdom) in certain zones in the years from 2001 to 2004.
(3) In 2006, following the publication of the regulation (3) adapting certain fish quotas for 2006 pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (4), the United Kingdom also notified the Commission of an additional quantity of mackerel fished in excess in 2005.
(4) Article 23(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 states that the Commission shall operate deductions from future fishing opportunities of the Member States when it has established that they have exceeded the fishing opportunities which were allocated to them.
(5) According to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the Common Fisheries Policy shall ensure exploitation of living aquatic resources that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions.
(6) Given the fact that the overfishing has occurred during the course of several years and considering the need to take account of the economic and social situation of the respective fishing sectors of the concerned Member States and to limit as much as possible the negative impact on those sectors, it is appropriate to deduct the quantities fished in excess over a period longer than one year.
(7) The trend in mackerel quotas from 2001 to 2004 has been downwards. In order to avoid a disproportionate impact of deductions it is necessary to apply a correction factor to the quantities to be deducted from mackerel quotas in respect of amounts overfished from 2001 to 2004.
(8) The additional quantity of mackerel fished in excess by the UK in 2005 should be deducted from the UK's 2007 quota.
(9) The deduction scheme will be compatible with scientific advice since the total allowable catches for mackerel and herring in coming years will be based on scientific advice which will take into account the adjusted catches resulting from reduced quotas.
(10) The correction factor should equate to the 2006 total allowable catch for mackerel expressed as a percentage of the average total allowable catch for the years 2001 to 2004.
(11) Additionally, in order to avoid adverse social and economic consequences, the quantities deducted in any one year should not exceed a percentage of the annual quota. It is appropriate to fix this percentage at 15 %.
(12) In a case where the quantity to be deducted in any one year exceeds 15 % of the annual quota, the deduction period will be extended to reduce the quantity equal to or below 15 %.
(13) Taking account of the request of the Member States concerned to have a smaller amount deducted from certain quotas in 2007 than in the following years from 2008 to 2012.
(14) The Committee for fisheries and Aquaculture has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and herring (Clupea harengus) quotas allocated to Ireland and the United Kingdom in the years from 2007 to 2012 shall be reduced as shown in Annex I and Annex II.
The quantities deducted in any one year shall not exceed 15 % of the annual quota.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 of 2 April 2009 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2009/10 marketing year (3) sets the above mentioned limits.
(3) The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceed the quantitative limit fixed by Regulation (EC) No 274/2009. An acceptance percentage should therefore be set for quantities applied for on 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 October 2009.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1149/95 (3), provides for potato starch to be assimilated to maize starch; whereas the aim of that provision is to allow an export refund to be granted for that product and not necessarily to apply the same refund rate as that applicable to the export of maize starch;

31988L0301 | Commission Directive 88/301/EEC of 16 May 1988 on competition in the markets in telecommunications terminal equipment
| COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 16 May 1988
on competition in the markets in telecommunications terminal equipment
(88/301/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 90 (3) thereof,
Whereas:
1. In all the Member States, telecommunications are, either wholly or partly, a State monopoly generally granted in the form of special or exclusive rights to one or more bodies responsible for providing and operating the network infrastructure and related services. Those rights, however, often go beyond the provision of network utilization services and extend to the supply of user terminal equipment for connection to the network. The last decades have seen considerable technical developments in networks, and the pace of development has been especially striking in the area of terminal equipment.
2. Several Member States have, in response to technical and economic developments, reviewed their grant of special or exclusive rights in the telecommunications sector. The proliferation of types of terminal equipment and the possibility of the multiple use of terminals means that users must be allowed a free choice between the various types of equipment available if they are to benefit fully from the technological advances made in the sector.
3. Article 30 of the Treaty prohibits quantitative restrictions on imports from other Member States and all measures having equivalent effect. The grant of special or exclusive rights to import and market goods to one organization can, and often does, lead to restrictions on imports from other Member States.
4. Article 37 of the Treaty states that 'Member States shall progressively adjust any State monopolies of a commercial character so as to ensure that when the transitional period has ended no discrimination regarding the conditions under which goods are procured and marketed exists between nationals of Member States.
The provisions of this Article shall apply to any body through which a Member State, in law or in fact, either directly or indirectly supervises, determines or appreciably influences imports or exports between Member States. These provisions shall likewise apply to monopolies delegated by the State to others.' Paragraph 2 of Article 37 prohibits Member States from introducing any new measure contrary to the principles laid down in Article 37 (1).
5. The special or exclusive rights relating to terminal equipment enjoyed by national telecommunications monopolies are exercised in such a way as, in practice, to disadvantage equipment from other Member States, notably by preventing users from freely choosing the equipment that best suits their needs in terms of price and quality, regardless of its origin. The exercise of these rights is therefore not compatible with Article 37 in all the Member States except Spain and Portugal, where the national monopolies are to be adjusted progressively before the end of the transitional period provided for by the Act of Accession.
6. The provision of installation and maintenance services is a key factor in the purchasing or rental of terminal equipment. The retention of exclusive rights in this field would be tantamount to retention of exclusive marketing rights. Such rights must therefore also be abolished if the abolition of exclusive importing and marketing rights is to have any practical effect. 7. Article 59 of the Treaty provides that 'restrictions on freedom to provide services within the Community shall be progressively abolished during the transitional period in respect of nationals of Member States who are established in a State of the Community other than that of the person for whom the services are intended.' Maintenance of terminals is a service within the meaning of Article 60 of the Treaty. As the transitional period has ended, the service in question, which cannot from a commercial point of view be dissociated from the marketing of the terminals, must be provided freely and in particular when provided by qualified operators.
8. Article 90 (1) of the Treaty provides that 'in the case of public undertakings and undertakings to which Member States grant special or exclusive rights, Member States shall neither enact nor maintain in force any measure contrary to the rules contained in this Treaty, in particular to those rules provided for in Article 7 and Articles 85 to 94.'
9. The market in terminal equipment is still as a rule governed by a system which allows competition in the common market to be distorted; this situation continues to produce infringements of the competition rules laid down by the Treaty and to affect adversely the development of trade to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community. Stronger competition in the terminal equipment market requires the introduction of transparent technical specifications and type-approval procedures which meet the essential requirements mentioned in Council Directive 86/361/EEC (1) and allow the free movement of terminal equipment. In turn, such transparency necessarily entails the publication of technical specifications and typeapproval procedures. To ensure that the latter are applied transparently, objectively and without discrimination, the drawing-up and application of such rules should be entrusted to bodies independent of competitors in the market in question. It is essential that the specifications and type-approval procedures are published simultaneously and in an orderly fashion. Simultaneous publication will also ensure that behaviour contrary to the Treaty is avoided. Such simultaneous, orderly publication can be achieved only by means of a legal instrument that is binding on all the Member States. The most appropriate instrument to this end is a directive.
10. The Treaty entrusts the Commission with very clear tasks and gives it specific powers with regard to the monitoring of relations between the Member States and their public undertakings and enterprises to which they have delegated special or exclusive rights, in particular as regards the elimination of quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect, discrimination between nationals of Member States, and competition. The only instrument, therefore, by which the Commission can efficiently carry out the tasks and powers assigned to it, is a Directive based on Article 90 (3).
11. Telecommunications bodies or enterprises are undertakings within the meaning of Article 90 (1) because they carry on an organized business activity involving the production of goods or services. They are either public undertakings or private enterprises to which the Member States have granted special or exclusive rights for the importation, marketing, connection, bringing into service of telecommunications terminal equipment and/or maintenance of such equipment. The grant and maintenance of special and exclusive rights for terminal equipment constitute measures within the meaning of that Article. The conditions for applying the exception of Article 90 (2) are not fulfilled. Even if the provision of a telecommunications network for the use of the general public is a service of general economic interest entrusted by the State to the telecommunications bodies, the abolition of their special or exclusive rights to import and market terminal equipment would not obstruct, in law or in fact, the performance of that service. This is all the more true given that Member States are entitled to subject terminal equipment to type-approval procedures to ensure that they conform to the essential requirements.
12. Article 86 of the Treaty prohibits as incompatible with the common market any conduct by one or more undertakings that involves an abuse of a dominant position within the common market or a substantial part of it.
13. The telecommunications bodies hold individually or jointly a monopoly on their national telecommunications network. The national networks are markets. Therefore, the bodies each individually or jointly hold a dominant position in a substantial part of the market in question within the meaning of Article 86.
The effect of the special or exclusive rights granted to such bodies by the State to import and market terminal equipment is to:
- restrict users to renting such equipment, when it would often be cheaper for them, at least in the long term, to purchase this equipment. This effectively makes contracts for the use of networks subject to acceptance by the user of additional services which have no connection with the subject of the contracts,
- limit outlets and impede technical progress since the range of equipment offered by the telecommunications bodies is necessarily limited and will not be the best available to meet the requirements of a significant proportion of users.
Such conduct is expressly prohibited by Article 86 (d) and (b), and is likely significantly to affect trade between Member States.
At all events, such special or exclusive rights in regard to the terminal equipment market give rise to a situation which is contrary to the objective of Article 3 (f) of the Treaty, which provides for the institution of a system ensuring that competition in the common market is not distorted, and requires a fortiori that competition must not be eliminated. Member States have an obligation under Article 5 of the Treaty to abstain from any measure which could jeopardize the attainment of the objectives of the Treaty, including Article 3 (f).
The exclusive rights to import and market terminal equipment must therefore be regarded as incompatible with Article 86 in conjunction with Article 3, and the grant or maintenance of such rights by a Member State is prohibited under Article 90 (1).
14. To enable users to have access to the terminal equipment of their choice, it is necessary to know and make transparent the characteristics of the termination points of the network to which the terminal equipment is to be connected. Member States must therefore ensure that the characteristics are published and that users have access to termination points.
15. To be able to market their products, manufacturers of terminal equipment must know what technical specifications they must satisfy. Member States should therefore formalize and publish the specifications and type-approval rules, which they must notify to the Commission in draft form, in accordance with Council Directive 83/189/EEC (1). The specifications may be extended to products imported from other Member States only insofar as they are necessary to ensure conformity with the essential requirements specified in Article 2 (17) of Directive 86/361/EEC that can legitimately be required under Community law. Member States must, in any event, comply with Articles 30 and 36 of the Treaty, under which an importing Member State must allow terminal equipment legally manufactured and marketed in another Member State to be imported on to its territory, and may only subject it to such type- approval and possibly refuse approval for reasons concerning conformity with the abovementioned essential requirements.
16. The immediate publication of these specifications and procedures cannot be considered in view of their complexity. On the other hand, effective competition is not possible without such publication, since potential competitors of the bodies or enterprises with special or exclusive rights are unaware of the precise specifications with which their terminal equipment must comply and of the terms of the type-approval procedures and hence their cost and duration. A deadline should therefore be set for the publication of specifications and the type-approval procedures. A period of two-and-a-half years will also enable the telecommunications bodies with special or exclusive rights to adjust to the new market conditions and will enable economic operators, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to adapt to the new competitive environment.
17. Monitoring of type-approval specifications and rules cannot be entrusted to a competitor in the terminal equipment market in view of the obvious conflict of interest. Member States should therefore ensure that the responsibility for drawing up type-approval specifications and rules is assigned to a body independent of the operator of the network and of any other competitor in the market for terminals.
18. The holders of special or exclusive rights in the terminal equipment in question have been able to impose on their customers long-term contracts preventing the introduction of free competition from having a practical effect within a reasonable period. Users must therefore be given the right to obtain a revision of the duration of their contracts,
For the purposes of this Directive:
- 'terminal equipment' means equipment directly or indirectly connected to the termination of a public telecommunications network to send, process or receive information. A connection is indirect if equipment is placed between the terminal and the termination of the network. In either case (direct or indirect), the connection may be made by wire, optical fibre or electromagnetically.
Terminal equipment also means receive-only satellite stations not reconnected to the public network of a Member State,
- 'undertaking' means a public or private body, to which a Member State grants special or exclusive rights for the importation, marketing, connection, bringing into service of telecommunications terminal equipment and/or maintenance of such equipment.
Member States which have granted special or exclusive rights within the meaning of Article 1 to undertakings shall ensure that those rights are withdrawn.
They shall, not later than three months following the notification of this Directive, inform the Commission of the measures taken or draft legislation introduced to that end.
Member States shall ensure that economic operators have the right to import, market, connect, bring into service and maintain terminal equipment. However, Member States may:
- in the absence of technical specifications, refuse to allow terminal equipment to be connected and brought into service where such equipment does not, according to a reasoned opinion of the body referred to in Article 6, satisfy the essential requirements laid down in Article 2 (17) of Directive 86/361/EEC,
- require economic operators to possess the technical qualifications needed to connect, bring into service and maintain terminal equipment on the basis of objective, non-discriminatory and publicly available criteria.
Member States shall ensure that users have access to new public network termination points and that the physical characteristics of these points are published not later than 31 December 1988.
Access to public network termination points existing at 31 December 1988 shall be given within a reasonable period to any user who so requests.
1. Member States shall, not later than the date mentioned in Article 2, communicate to the Commission a list of all technical specifications and type-approval procedures which are used for terminal equipment, and shall provide the publication references.
Where they have not as yet been published in a Member State, the latter shall ensure that they are published not later than the dates referred to in Article 8.
2. Member States shall ensure that all other specifications and type-approval procedures for terminal equipment are formalized and published. Member States shall communicate the technical specifications and type-approval procedures in draft form to the Commission in accordance with Directive 83/189/EEC and according to the timetable set out in Article 8.
Member States shall ensure that, from 1 July 1989, responsibility for drawing up the specifications referred to in Article 5, monitoring their application and granting type-approval is entrusted to a body independent of public or private undertakings offering goods and/or services in the telecommunications sector.
Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that undertakings within the meaning of Article 1 make it possible for their customers to terminate, with maximum notice of one year, leasing or maintenance contracts which concern terminal equipment subject to exclusive or special rights at the time of the conclusion of the contracts.
For terminal equipment requiring type-approval, Member States shall ensure that this possibility of termination is afforded by the undertakings in question no later than the dates provided for in Article 8. For terminal equipment not requiring type-approval, Member States shall introduce this possibility no later than the date provided for in Article 2.
Member States shall inform the Commission of the draft technical specifications and type-approval procedures referred to in Article 5 (2);
- not later than 31 December 1988 in respect of equipment in category A of the list in Annex I,
- not later than 30 September 1989 in respect of equipment in category B of the list in Annex I,
- not later than 30 June 1990 in respect of other terminal equipment in category C of the list in Annex I.
Member States shall bring these specifications and type-approval procedures into force after expiry of the procedure provided for by Directive 83/189/EEC.
Member States shall provide the Commission at the end of each year with a report allowing it to monitor compliance with the provisions of Articles 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7.
An outline of the report is attached as Annex II.

The provisions of this Directive shall be without prejudice to the provisions of the instruments of accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 48 and 208 of the Act of Accession.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 270/2005
of 17 February 2005
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d), (f), (g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 February 2005.

of 20 December 1993
concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Coal and Steel Community of the Supplementary Protocol between the European Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, to the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 95 thereof;
Whereas, pending the entry into force of the European Agreement signed in Luxembourg on 4 October 1993, it is necessary to approve the Supplementary Protocol to the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part, on trade and trade-related matters signed in Brussels on 16 December 1991, as subsequently amended by the exchange of letters signed on 15 December 1992 concerning the extension of the duration of this Agreement;
Whereas the Interim Agreement was last amended by an Additional Protocol initialled on 16 July 1993 and applied provisionally from the 1 July 1993 in order to increase and accelerate the grant of certain Community concessions;
Whereas the conclusion of the Supplementary Protocol with the Slovak Republic to the Interim Agreement in order to adapt this Agreement to the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic on 31 December 1992 and the subsequent succession thereto by the Slovak Republic is necessary to attain the objectives of the Community set out in particular in Articles 2 and 3 of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and whereas the Treaty did not make provision for all the cases covered by this Decision;
Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council;
The Supplementary Protocol between the European Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part and the Slovak Republic of the other part to the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part, is hereby approved on behalf of the European Coal and Steel Community.
The text of the Supplementary Protocol is annexed to this Decision (1).

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 4 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that, unless an extension is decided upon in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, Class III may not be applied beyond the fifth year following the date of entry into force of the Regulation which defines it; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77 (3), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3409/82 (4), extended this possibility of application until 31 December 1986;
Whereas the marketing of Class III represents a large share of producers' incomes, where there is no Class II for the product; whereas, where there is a Class II, the share of producers' incomes represented by Class III is considerably lower, although not negligible, particularly at certain times of the year;
Whereas, moreover, the marketing of Class III products enables certain consumers with modest incomes to obtain supplies of those products;
Whereas it seems advisable, therefore, to provide for Class III to be applicable for a limited period beyond 31 December 1986,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77, '31 December 1986', is hereby replaced by '30 April 1988'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1987.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for by Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Netherlands authorities have notified the Commission that they intend to adopt a draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of this draft lays down the minimum and maximum contents of vitamins A and D to be added and paragraph 2 of the same Article stipulates that if the spreadable fats do not contain the nutrients referred to in paragraph 1 or contain a different quantity thereof this must be indicated on the label;
Whereas the draft was discussed with the other Member States at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs on 27 February 1997;
Whereas imposition of further details on the label, going beyond those already provided for in Directive 79/112/EEC, is not necessary in order to keep the consumer informed of the exact composition of the products concerned;
Whereas this conclusion has led the Commission to issue a negative opinion, as provided for by the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas unilateral imposition of such an obligation by the Netherlands authorities would create new barriers to the free movement of foodstuffs;
Whereas the Netherlands authorities must therefore be asked to withdraw this provision on labelling from the draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is called on to withdraw from its draft order on spreadable fats the provisions of Article 3 (2) requiring specific indication on the labelling for products containing no vitamin A and D or containing a quantity different from the quantity specified in Article 3 (1).

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1371/95(3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/95(4) laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the egg and poultrymeat sectors, respectively, provide that export licences are to be issued on the Wednesday following the week in which the licence applications are lodged, provided that no particular measures have been taken by the Commission in the meantime.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 (3) fixes at 111 300 tonnes the intervention threshold for cauliflowers for the 1997/98 marketing year; whereas under Article 3 of that Regulation, if the quantity of cauliflowers withdrawn in the period between 1 March 1997 and 28 February 1998 exceeds the threshold set, the Community withdrawal compensation indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 1998/99 marketing year will be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold;
Whereas the information supplied by the Member States indicates that the withdrawals for the 1997/98 marketing year involved 118 909 tonnes of cauliflowers;
Whereas, as a result of the above, the Community withdrawal compensation set by Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 1998/99 marketing year must be reduced by 0,34 % for cauliflowers;
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 lays down that the consequences of the threshold overrun are to apply in the following marketing year; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply the reduced Community withdrawal compensation from 1 May 1998, the date on which the marketing year for cauliflowers begins;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers for the 1998/99 marketing year is hereby fixed at ECU 8,85 per 100 kilograms net.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended by Decision 94/370/EC (2), and in particular Article 24 thereof,
Whereas Council Decision 89/455/EEC of 24 July 1989 on introducing a three year measure to set up pilot projects for the control of rabies with a view to its eradication or prevention (3) has terminated in Spring 1992 and whereas these pilot projects were remarkably successful and have demonstrated the feasibility of rabies eradication from the Community;

Whereas the eradication programme as presented by the Federal Republic of Germany includes the adjacent areas of Poland, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic;
Whereas by letter dated 16 February 1994, Germany has submitted a programme for the eradication of rabies to be carried out in Autumn 1994;
Whereas after examination of the programme it was found to comply with all Community criteria relating to the eradication of the disease in conformity with Council Decision 90/638/EEC of 27 November 1990, on laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases (4), as last amended by Directive 92/65/EEC (5);

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to increase the use of the EU Ecolabel and to encourage those whose products meet the EU Ecolabel criteria, the costs of using the EU Ecolabel should be as low as possible but still sufficient to cover the costs for running the EU Ecolabel scheme.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 provides the possibility of increasing the maximum fees where necessary and appropriate.
(3) The competent bodies carried out an internal evaluation in order to assess if the current level of fees is sufficient to cover all tasks they are asked to carry out for running the EU Ecolabel scheme.

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (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(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) 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 each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 May 2007.

Whereas the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings in recent months, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations (4);
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 April 1990 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain non-member countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,
With effect from 1 April 1990 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are adjusted as shown in the Annex hereto.
The exchange rates for the payment of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Communities during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 199b thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By notification registered at the Commission on 27 November 2013, Hungary requested authorisation to introduce a Quick Reaction Mechanism special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC.
(2) According to that notification, it has come to the attention of the national authorities that a number of traders have engaged in tax evasion by not paying VAT to the competent tax authorities.
(3) The requested measure consists in designating the taxable person to whom goods, in this case sugar, are supplied as liable for the payment of VAT instead of the supplier.
(4) On 4 December 2013, the Commission notified the Member States that it had all the information necessary to appraise the request.
(5) On the basis of detailed fraud figures in this sector provided by Hungary, it clearly appears that fraud in the sector was already of a substantive nature in 2011 and 2012.
(6) Therefore, it has been established that the fraud identified is not of a sudden nature within the meaning of Article 199b of Directive 2006/112/EC.
(7) The requested derogation should therefore not be granted,
Hungary may not introduce the requested Quick Reaction Mechanism special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 140 thereof,
Whereas the Commission may under the above Article authorize Austria and Finland to grant the specific aids listed in Annex XIV to the Act of Accession for which it has established the initial level and rate of decrease; whereas the Annex includes aids supplementary to those provided for in Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2387/95 (2); whereas the aids in question must not give rise to an increase in overall production capacities and must be granted within the individual production limits established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91;
Whereas, on 12 July 1996 Finland notified the Commission of the aid scheme it itends implementing in the horticultural, flowers and plants sectors under the above provisions;
Whereas the aids in question, the budget for which is estimated at Fmk 22,5 million per year and which are granted in the form of an interest rate subsidy (5 % for a maximum of 30 years for 70 % of the total investment, with a ceiling equal to 30 % of the total investment) or in the form of a capital grant (a maximum of 30 % of the total investment) to cover the costs involved in expanding installations or the cost of materials needed to increase production capacity, comply with the conditions laid down in Annex XIV to the Act of Accession;
Whereas these aids will be granted within the individual limits set by Commission Decision C(96) 2876 of 4 December 1996 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures in Finland under Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91; whereas, since these aids are accompanied by adequate arrangements to monitor the trend in production capacities they should not therefore result in an increase in overall production capacity as recorded in 1994 and thus comply with the relevant provisions in the Act of Accession; whereas, however, the Commission should also be informed of the trend in production capacities in the sectors in question;
Whereas, while accepting the initial aid levels proposed by Finland, their rates of decrease should be set for 1997, 1998, 1999 and the aids should be abolished completely by 31 December 1999 at the latest so that the Act of Accession is complied with while ensuring at the same time that the necessary adjustments to Finnish production structures are made,
The aid measures notified by Finland on 12 July 1996 in the horticultural, flowers and plants sectors are hereby authorized.
The maximum rate of aid, whether granted in the form of an interest subsidy or capital grant, shall be:
- 30 % of the total investment in the case of aids granted under decisions taken by 31 March 1997 at the latest,
- 27 % of the total investment in the case of aids granted under decisions taken between 1 April and 31 December 1997 inclusive,
- 24 % of the total investment in the case of aids granted under decisions taken between 1 January and 31 December 1998 inclusive,
- 20 % of the total investment in the case of aids granted under decisions taken between 1 January and 31 December 1999 inclusive.
The aids shall be abolished on 31 December 1999, at the latest.
While the aids provided for in Article 1 apply, Finland shall notify the Commission each year of its production capacity in the horticultural and flowers and plants sectors.

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2) In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of protection and surveillance zones in the event of outbreaks of that disease where the measures laid down in Articles 10 and 11 of that Directive are to apply.
(4) Lithuania has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established protection and surveillance zones where the measures referred to in Articles 10 and 11 of that Directive are applied.
(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the restricted zones for African swine fever in Lithuania which are the protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’).
(6) Accordingly, pending the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, the restricted zones in Lithuaniashould be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.
(7) This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Lithuania shall ensure that the protection and surveillance zones established in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the areas listed in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply until 15 August 2014.

(2) Pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 (3), the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty. In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 15 to 21 April 2005, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 487/2005, the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported shall be 27,99 EUR/t and be valid for a total maximum quantity of 32 000 t.

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 the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta (1), as supplemented by the Additional Protocol (2), by the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement (3) and the Protocol extending the first stage of this Agreement (4) provided, in Article 2 of Annex I, for the total abolition of customs duties in respect of the products to which the Agreement applies; whereas, however, exemption from duties in respect of a numer of products is subject to ceilings above which the customs duties applicable to third countries may be re-established; whereas, in the context of the said ceilings, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic will apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the said Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community (5);
Whereas the ceilings to be applied in 1992 should therefore be determined; whereas those ceilings can be applied only if the Community is regularly informed of imports of the said products originating in Malta; whereas imports of those products should therefore be subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must provide for the possibility of the applicable customs duties being re-established as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to follow the progress of quantites charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take appropriate measures to re-establish customs tariffs if one of the ceilings is reached.
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1992 imports into the Community of the products listed in the Annex and originating in Malta shall be subject to annual ceilings and Community surveillance.
The description of the products referred to in the first subparagraph, the corresponding CN codes and the ceilings are set out in the Annex.
In the framework of these tariff ceilings, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of Spain and Portugal.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate in accordance with the rules contained in the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation annexed to the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Malta (6).
Goods may be charged against the ceilings only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it in the manner defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission of imports charged in accordance with the above procedure at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4.
3. As soon as the ceilings are reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission not later than the 15th day of each month stratement of the quantities charged during the preceding month.
The Commission, in close cooperation with the Member States, shall take all appropriate measures for the purposes of applying this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) The Council has expressed its grave concern over the deteriorating overall situation in Burma/Myanmar, in particular the arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the National League for Democracy and the closure of NLD offices.
(2) In view of this, Decision 2003/461/CFSP provides, inter alia, for enforcement of the ban on technical training or assistance related to arms and related material.
(3) This ban on technical advice, assistance or training related to arms and related material falls under the scope of the Treaty.

For the purposes of this Regulation, such territory is deemed to encompass all the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
(4) This ban should therefore be added to the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000(3),
Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following Article shall be inserted:

2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to technical assistance or training related to non-lethal military equipment intended solely for humanitarian or protective use.";
2. Article 5 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 5
The participation, knowingly and intentionally, in related activities, the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to promote the transactions or activities referred to in Articles 1 and 1a or to circumvent the provisions of this Regulation, shall be prohibited."

Having regard to the agreement of the Member State concerned,
Whereas:
(1) From information supplied by Portugal based on updated surveys, it appears that the protected zone for Gonipterus scutellatus Gyll. should be modified and restricted to the Azores only.
(2) Due to a clerical error in the preparation of Commission Directive 2002/36/EC(3) amending certain annexes to Directive 2000/29/EC, new provisions as regards soil and growing medium, attached to or associated with plants, originating in Cyprus and Malta were unduly adopted.
(3) Due to a clerical error in the preparation of Directive 2002/36/EC, the text in point 2 under heading I of Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC was replaced without mentioning the relevant plant products concerned.
(4) The relevant Annexes to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (3),
Whereas over a number of years the quantities of dangerous goods transported nationally and internationally have increased considerably, increasing the risk of accidents;
Whereas some of the accidents which occur when dangerous goods are transported may be caused by insufficient knowledge of the risks inherent in such transport;
Whereas it is necessary, in the context of the completion of the single market in transport, to adopt measures to improve the prevention of the risks inherent in such transport;
Whereas Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (4) does not introduce measures to prevent the risks inherent in the transport of dangerous goods;
Whereas undertakings involved in the transport or the related loading or unloading of dangerous goods should be required to comply with the rules on the prevention of the risks inherent in the transport of dangerous goods, whether by road, rail or inland waterway; whereas, to that end, the appointment of safety advisers for the transport of dangerous goods who have received appropriate vocational training should be prescribed;
Whereas the objective of the vocational training of such safety advisers must be knowledge of the essential laws, regulations and administrative provisions applicable to such transport;
Whereas the Member States must set up a common minimum framework for vocational training attested to by success in an examination;
Whereas the Member States must issue Community-type certificates attesting to advisers' vocational qualifications so that the possessors of such certificates may then practise their trade throughout the Community;
Whereas the vocational qualification of safety advisers will help to improve the quality of the service they provide in the interests of users; whereas such vocational qualification will also help to minimize the risk of accidents which may cause irreversible damage to the environment and serious injury to other persons who may come into contact with dangerous goods,
Aim
The Member States shall take the necessary measures in accordance with the requirements of this Directive to ensure that no later than 31 December 1999 undertakings the activities of which include the transport, or the related loading or unloading, of dangerous goods by road, rail or inland waterway each appoint one or more safety advisers for the transport of dangerous goods, responsible for helping to prevent the risks inherent in such activities with regard to persons, property and the environment.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (1), extended by Regulation (EEC) No 444/92 (2), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provide for the opening by the Community of quotas for imports of the following:
- 1 000 tonnes of fresh apples falling within CN code 0808 10, for the period 1 January to 31 December, and
- 1 000 tonnes of fresh pears falling within CN codes 0808 20 10 to 0808 20 39, for the period 1 January to 31 December,
originating in the countries in question;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure that all Community importers enjoy equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quotas and that the rates laid down for those quotas should apply consistently to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; whereas, in the present case, it would appear advisable not to allocate the quotas among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedures specified in Article 3;
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 quotas may be carried out by any of its members;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the following products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States shall be suspended at the levels indicated and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas as shown below:

The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer presents an entry for release for free circulation in a Member State in respect of a product covered by this Regulation, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to requirements from the quota.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use a drawing in full, it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quotas so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1993. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 800 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(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) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 800 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 June 2001.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 94/98 of 14 January 1998 on olive oil storage contracts for the 1997/98 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1581/96 (2), and in particular Article 20d(3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 20d(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, when certain conditions are met, a decision may be taken that producer groups and associations recognised pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (4), may conclude storage contracts for olive oil; whereas the market prices in certain producer Member States, at the production stage and primarily for the quality of olive oil which is of greatest importance in terms of the prices of most of the olive oils consumed in the Community, have been found to be close to the intervention price; whereas therefore the conditions laid down by Regulation No 136/66/EEC and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 314/88 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3788/89 (6), are met in those Member States; whereas permission to conclude storage contracts should therefore be granted for this marketing year;
Whereas the aim behind private storage contracts is temporary withdrawal of products from a market in imbalance, without change of ownership, so that they can be put on the market again when the situation has returned to normal; whereas it should therefore be specified that storage contracts may be entered into only for olive oil produced during the current marketing year and ceilings for each country should be fixed;
Whereas only recognized groups and associations may be authorised to store oil produced by their members; whereas in order to enable them to refrain from marketing the oil that they hold, aid should be granted;
Whereas the aim behind private storage must be the improved marketing of olive oil; whereas the period during which storage contracts may be concluded should therefore be restricted; whereas, moreover, the offering of oil for intervention on expiry of the storage contract should be discouraged; whereas it is accordingly desirable to reduce the storage aid if the oil is subsequently offered for intervention;
Whereas it is desirable to specify that entitlement to aid for a storage contract is annulled by the acceptance of an export declaration;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The intervention agencies in the producer Member States shall conclude olive oil storage contracts for the 1997/98 marketing year as provided for in this Regulation.
1. Storage contracts (hereinafter called 'contracts`) shall be concluded only with recognised groups or associations within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 which hold olive oil of Community origin produced by their own members and which have appropriate storage facilities at their disposal.
2. Contracts shall relate only to olive oil qualities that may be offered for intervention and to lots of at least 100 tonnes net.
3. Contracts shall be concluded for a period of 60 days. They shall be automatically renewed for 60-day periods if the party concerned does not, before expiry of the period, ask the intervention agency to cancel the contract, always provided that the new expiry date is not later than 31 October 1998 and, except where the possibility of concluding new contracts or renewing them is suspended, as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 314/88.
4. The maximum quantity that may be covered by contracts at any one time during the 1997/98 marketing year shall be 100 000 tonnes, broken down as follows:
- 70 000 tonnes in Italy,
- 30 000 tonnes in Greece.
1. With a view to conclusion of a contract, a written application must be lodged, by 19 May 1998 at the latest, with the intervention agency of the Member State in which the olive oil is located. It must be accompanied by proof that security of ECU 1 per 100 kilograms of oil has been lodged.
2. Applications must be lodged on Mondays or Tuesdays of each week. On Thursdays, by 2 p.m. Brussels time at the latest, Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities for which valid applications have been made and for which contracts expired in the previous week.
The Commission shall each week total the quantities for which applications have been made and shall, until exhaustion of the maximum quantity specified in Article 2(4), authorize Member States to accept the applications made. Should there be a risk of exhaustion of the quantity it shall authorise acceptance proportionally to the quantities applied for within the limit of the quantity available.
3. After authorisation by the Commission, contracts shall be concluded without discrimination and as rapidly as possible. The date of conclusion of the contract shall be that on which notification of acceptance of the relevant application is sent by the intervention agency. The date of commencement of the contract shall be the day following the date of conclusion, unless the applicant has requested a later date.
4. Only olive oil produced in the Community during the current marketing year may be the subject of a contract.
1. Contracts shall be drawn up in two copies and shall include the following information:
(a) the business name of the co-contracting party;
(b) its full postal address;
(c) the name and address of the intervention agency;
(d) the exact address of the place of storage;
(e) the number and individual particulars of the lots covered by the contract and the net weight and quality of each lot;
(f) the consent of the owner of the oil stored, if the co-contracting party is not himself the owner;
(g) the date of commencement of the contract;
(h) the reference to this Regulation;
(i) the date of conclusion of the contract.
2. Contracts shall make the following obligations incumbent upon the co-contracting party:

(b) that of storing oils of differing qualities in separate and identifiable containers;
(c) that of allowing the intervention agency to verify at any time that the obligations laid down in the contract are in fact being complied with.
3. The co-contracting party may, at any time, cancel the contract by notifying the intervention agency. He shall thereby lose entitlement to aid for the current 60-day period.
4. The obligation of compliance with the quantity shown in the contract shall be deemed to be met if at least 98 % of that quantity has been maintained in store.
1. For each 60-day period, the following aid shall be granted:
- ECU 5,4 per 100 kilograms if the storage agency provides evidence, within 60 days following the date of expiry of the contract, that the olive oil has been placed on the market,
- ECU 0 per 100 kilograms in all other cases.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation 'placed on the market` means that the oil has either been sold and delivered to a packaging plant approved pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 (7) or to a refiner or has been exported.
3. An amount of ECU 1 per 100 kilograms may be paid in advance on conclusion or renewal of the contract against security for an equivalent amount.
4. The rate applicable for the conversion into national currency for the amount of the storage aid shall be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day of conclusion of the contract.

The aid shall be paid, and the securities specified in Articles 3(1) and 5(3) released, after verification of compliance with the said obligations, within 60 days following expiry of the contract.
2. Acceptance of an export declaration shall terminate the storage arrangement. In this case no aid shall be paid for the period in progress at the time of such acceptance for the quantity entered in the export declaration.
1. In cases of force majeure, the intervention agency shall determine what action is deems necessary given the circumstances invoked. Such action may, in particular, involve payment of the aid due pro rata for the quantity stored and the actual period of storage.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of all cases they deem to be cases of force majeure and of the action taken in each case.
1. The Member States shall take all action necessary to ensure, throughout the contractual storage period, verification of compliance with the obligations laid down in the contract. Such verification shall include physical inspection of the goods in store, removed from store or placed in store and verification of the appropriate registers.
Physical inspection shall include verification that the stocks meet the requirements specified in Article 2(2) and are capable of identification, and checks as to whether the quantities stored and marked tally with the quantities declared.
2. Failure to comply with the contractual obligations shall entail forfeiture of the security specified in Article 3 (1), without prejudice to any other penalties applicable.
3. Member States shall notify to the Commission national measures adopted in implementation of this Regulation, with a specimen of the contract.
Member States shall notify the Commission by the 10th of each month:
- of the quantities and qualities of olive oil for which contracts have been concluded or renewed during the preceding month,
- by quality, of the total quantities of olive oil in storage at the end of the preceding month, and the total number of current contracts.

Whereas, for the purpose of implementing the JET Project, the Council, by Decision 78/471/Euratom (4), established the Joint European Torus (JET), Joint Undertaking and adopted the Statutes thereof;
Whereas Articles 4 and 8 of the JET Statutes should be amended following the judgment of the Court of First Instance of 12 December 1996 in Joined Cases T-177/94 and T-377/94, which found that the existing difference in treatment between two categories of JET staff was no longer justified on objective grounds;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 26 (11) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1121/96 (3), fixes the indicative quantities laid down for the issue of export licences without advance fixing of the refund other than those applied for in the context of food aid;
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/95 of 28 June 1995, on implementing rules for export refunds on fruit and vegetables (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/95 (5), provides that where there is an overrun of the indicative quantities, the excess quantities are to be deducted;
Whereas, in the light of information now available to the Commission, the indicative quantities laid down for the current period for table grapes and apples have already been exceeded; whereas these overruns will probably result in a reduction of the indicative quantity for the following period; whereas that reduction would be prejudicial to exports followed by applications for licences without advance fixing of the refund during that following period;
Whereas, in order to avoid that situation, the applications for licences without advance fixing of the refund for table grapes and apples exported after 19 September 1996 should be rejected up to the end of the current period;
Whereas, in order for them not be be included in the calculations made by the Commission pursuant to Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, those applications must not be communicated to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For table grapes and apples, the applications for export licences without advance fixing of the refund referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, for which the export declaration for the products was accepted after 19 September 1996 and before 1 October 1996, are hereby rejected.
Notwithstanding Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, those applications shall not be included in communications to the Commission.

(3) Calcium hydroxide has been found to be essential to control a fungal disease in fruit trees in certain climates. The control of this disease in organic production is difficult and requires the use of copper, the use of which can be reduced by applying calcium hydroxide.
(4) Ethylene is already included in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 as a substance of traditional use in organic farming. It has appeared appropriate to complete the conditions for use of that substance in order to cover, besides bananas, certain other fruits for which ethylene is needed in the production.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 953/2003
of 26 May 2003
to avoid trade diversion into the European Union of certain key medicines
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 21 February 2001, the Commission adopted a communication to the European Parliament and to the Council on accelerated action targeted at major communicable diseases within the context of poverty reduction, according to which the Commission was instructed, inter alia, to establish a global tiered pricing system for key pharmaceuticals for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria and related diseases for the poorest developing countries and to prevent product diversion of these products to other markets by ensuring that effective safeguards were in place.
(2) In a resolution dated 14 May 2001 on accelerated action on HIV, TB and malaria, the Council underlined the need to reinforce safeguards against diversion of low priced pharmaceuticals destined for poor markets and prevent price erosion in developed countries markets.
(3) On 15 March 2001, a resolution of the European Parliament on access to drugs for HIV/AIDS victims in developing countries noted the inclusion of a commitment to tiered pricing in the Commission's programme for action and called for a system allowing developing countries equitable access to medicines and vaccines at affordable prices.
(4) Many of the poorest developing countries are in urgent need of access to affordable essential medicines for treatment of communicable diseases. These countries are heavily dependant on imports of medicines as local manufacturing is scarce.
(5) Price segmentation between developed country markets and the poorest developing country markets is necessary to ensure that the poorest developing countries are supplied with essential pharmaceutical products at heavily reduced prices. Therefore, these heavily reduced prices cannot be understood as a reference for the price to be paid for the same products in developed country markets.
(6) Legislative and regulatory instruments are in place in most developed countries to prevent importation, in certain circumstances, of pharmaceutical products, but these instruments risk becoming insufficient where substantial volumes of heavily discounted pharmaceuticals are sold to the poorest developing country markets and the economic interest in trade diversion into high priced markets therefore may increase significantly.
(7) There is a need to encourage the pharmaceutical producers to make pharmaceutical products available at heavily reduced prices in significantly increased volumes by ensuring through this Regulation that these products remain on those markets. Donations of pharmaceutical products and products sold under contracts awarded in response to competitive tenders from national governments or international procurement bodies, or under a partnership agreed between the manufacturer and the government of a country of destination may qualify under this Regulation on equal conditions, bearing in mind that donations are not contributing to the improvement of access to these products on a sustainable basis.
(8) For the purpose of this Regulation, it is necessary to establish a procedure which identifies the products, countries and diseases covered by this Regulation.
(9) This Regulation serves the purpose of preventing tiered priced products from being imported into the Community. Exemptions are laid down for certain situations under the strict provision that it is ensured that the final destination of the products in question is one of the countries listed in Annex II.
(10) Manufacturers of tiered priced products must differentiate the appearance of tiered priced products to facilitate the task of identifying them.
(11) It will be appropriate to review the lists of the diseases and the countries of destination covered by this Regulation, as well as the formulae used to identify tiered priced products in the light, inter alia, of the experience gained from its application.
(12) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (1).
(13) With regard to tiered priced products contained in travellers' personal luggage for personal use, the same rules as set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 3295/94 of 22 December 1994 laying down measures to prohibit the release for free circulation, export, re-export or entry for a suspensive procedure of counterfeit and pirated goods (2), currently being reviewed, should apply.
(14) Where tiered priced products have been seized under this Regulation, the competent authority may, in accordance with national legislation and with a view to ensuring that the intended use is made of the seized products to the full benefit of the countries listed in Annex II, decide to make them available for humanitarian purposes in these countries. In the absence of such decision, the seized products should be destroyed,
1. This Regulation lays down:
(a) the criteria for establishing what is a tiered priced product;
(b) the conditions under which the customs authorities shall take action;
(c) the measures which shall be taken by the competent authorities in the Member States.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) ‘tiered priced product’ means any pharmaceutical product used in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a disease referred to in Annex IV which is priced in accordance with one of the optional price calculations set out in Article 3, verified by the Commission or an independent auditor as provided for in Article 4 and entered in the list of tiered priced products set out in Annex I;
(b) ‘countries of destination’ are those countries listed in Annex II;
(c) ‘competent authority’ means an authority designated by a Member State to determine whether goods suspended by the customs authorities in the respective Member State are tiered priced products and to give instructions depending on the outcome of the review.
1. It shall be prohibited to import into the Community tiered priced products for the purposes of release for free circulation, re-export, placing under suspensive procedures or placing in a free zone or free warehouse.
2. The following shall be exempted from the prohibition regarding tiered priced products as set out in paragraph 1:
(a) re-export to countries of destination;
(b) placing under a transit or customs warehouse procedure or in a free zone or free warehouse for the purpose of re-export to a country of destination.
The tiered price referred to in Article 4(2)(ii) of this Regulation shall, at the option of the applicant, be either:
(a) no higher than the percentage set out in Annex III of the weighted average ex factory price charged by a manufacturer in OECD markets for the same product at the time of application; or, alternatively,
(b) a manufacturer's direct production costs, with the addition of a maximum percentage which is set out in Annex III.
1. In order for products to benefit from this Regulation, manufacturers or exporters of pharmaceutical products shall submit applications to the Commission.
2. Any application addressed to the Commission shall contain the following information:
(i) the product name and active ingredient of the tiered priced product and sufficient information to verify which disease it is preventing, diagnosing or treating;
(ii) the price offered in relation to either of the optional price calculations set out in Article 3 in sufficient detail to enable verification. Instead of submitting such detailed information, the applicant may submit a certificate issued by an independent auditor, stating that the price has been verified and corresponds to one of the criteria set out in Annex III. The independent auditor is appointed in agreement between the manufacturer and the Commission. Any information submitted by the applicant to the auditor shall remain confidential;
(iii) the country or countries of destination to which the applicant intends to sell the product concerned;
(iv) the code number based on the Combined Nomenclature as set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) and, where appropriate, supplemented by TARIC subdivisions, to identify unambiguously the goods concerned;
(v) any measures taken by the manufacturer or exporter to make the tiered priced product easily distinguishable from identical products offered for sale inside the Community.
3. The Commission shall determine whether a product fulfils the criteria set out in this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5(2).
4. Where the requirements set out in this Regulation are fulfilled, the product shall be added to Annex I at the next following update. The applicant shall be informed of the decision of the Commission within 15 days.
5. If an application is not sufficiently detailed for review as to substance, the Commission shall in writing ask the applicant to submit such missing information. If the applicant does not complete the application within the time period set out in that communication, the application shall be null and void.
6. If the Commission finds that the application does not fulfil the criteria set out in this Regulation, the application shall be rejected and the applicant shall be informed within 15 days of the date of the decision. Nothing shall prevent the applicant from resubmitting a modified application for the same product.
7. Products destined to be donated to recipients in one of the countries listed in Annex II may be notified accordingly for approval and insertion in Annex I.
8. Annex I to this Regulation shall be updated every second month by the Commission.
9. Where adjustments to Annexes II, III and IV are necessary, the procedure referred to in Article 5(3) shall apply.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by a committee.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 3 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
3. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at two months.
4. The Committee shall adopt its Rules of Procedure.
A product approved as a tiered priced product and inserted in Annex I shall remain on that list for as long as the conditions set out in Article 4 are fulfilled and annual sales reports have been submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 11. The applicant must submit information to the Commission on any change which has occurred with respect to the scope or conditions set out in Article 4 in order to ensure that these requirements are met.
A permanent logo, as set out in Annex V, shall be affixed on any packaging or product and any document used in connection with the approved product sold at tiered prices to countries of destination. This applies as long as the tiered priced product concerned remains listed in Annex I.
1. Where there is reason to suspect that, contrary to the prohibition in Article 2, tiered priced products will be imported into the Community, customs authorities shall suspend the release of, or detain, the products concerned for the time necessary to obtain a decision of the competent authorities on the character of the merchandise. The period of suspension or detention shall not exceed 10 working days unless special circumstances apply, in which case the period may be extended by a maximum of 10 working days. Upon expiry of this period, the products shall be released, provided that all customs formalities have been complied with.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the existing preferential agreements between the European Community, of the one part, and Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, of the other part, (hereinafter referred to as 'third countries`) provide that certain goods originating in those countries may, within the limits of tariff quotas or ceilings, attract a reduced or zero rate of duty on import into the Community;
Whereas, following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, these concessions should be adapted in particular to take account of trade in fishery and textile products existing between Austria, Finland and Sweden, of the one part, and Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania of the other part;
Whereas, to that end, exploratory talks are under way with these third countries with a view to concluding additional protocols to the aforementioned agreements;
Whereas, however, as the deadlines were too short, those additional protocols could not come into effect on 1 January 1995;
Whereas, therefore, and in accordance with Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the Community should adopt the necessary measures to remedy this situation; whereas the measures should take the form of autonomous Community tariff quotas and tariff ceilings which include the contractual preferential duty concessions granted by Austria, Finland and Sweden;
Whereas pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1275/95 (1), the Council introduced certain procedures for applying the Agreement on free trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of the other part; whereas it is necessary, therefore, pursuant to Article 13 (2) and (3) of that Agreement to open Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products as set out in Annex V;
Whereas pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 (2), the Commission opened tariff quotas for preserved mushrooms falling under CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements in the agricultural sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral commercial negotiations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (3); whereas, to put this into effect, the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.6115 and 09.6239 (mushrooms of CN codes 0711 90 40, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30) opened by Regulation (EC) No 1798/94 (4) applying the preferences provided for in the Europe Agreements with Bulgaria and Romania should be eliminated;
Whereas the second additional protocols to the Europe Agreements between the European Community, of the one part, and Bulgaria and Romania, of the other part, provide that the opening of the zero-rate tariff quotas provided for in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1798/94 for the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 is to be brought forward to the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996;
Whereas in Regulation (EC) No 2179/95 (5), the Council provided for the autonomous and transitional adjustment of certain agricultural concessions laid down by Europe Agreements; whereas these concessions must be capable of extension to the products appearing in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1798/94;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2178/95 (6) and (EC) No 1798/94 should therefore be amended with effect from 1 January 1995,
Regulation (EC) No 2178/95 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the phrase 'Annexes I, II, III and IV` shall be replaced by 'Annexes I to VIII`;

derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Cambodia regarding certain exports of textiles to the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 955/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/1999(4), and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December 1998 applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 2001(5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2000(6), the Community gave such preferences to Cambodia.
(2) Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establish the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of generalised tariff preferences. Article 76 of that Regulation provides, however, for derogations to those provisions in favour of least-developed GSP-beneficiary countries which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.
(3) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1538/1999(7), Cambodia obtained such a derogation for certain textiles, for the period from 15 July 1999 to 14 July 2000.
(4) The request submitted by Cambodia satisfies the requirements of Article 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. In particular the introduction of quantitative conditions (on an annual basis) reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb the Cambodian products, Cambodia's export-capacity and actual recorded trade flows, is such as to prevent injury to the corresponding branches of Community industry. The derogation should be adapted, however, with reference to the economic needs.
(5) In order to encourage regional cooperation among beneficiary countries, it is desirable to provide that the raw materials to be used in Cambodia in the context of this derogation should originate in countries belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) (except Myanmar), to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.
(6) The open and effective administration of these measures should be ensured by applying the relevant provisions, for the management of tariff quotas, laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1427/97(8).
(7) Any demand to extend application of the derogation beyond the quantities provided for must be considered in consultation with the Cambodian authorities.
(8) To be fully effective, the derogation should be granted for a reasonable length of time, that is, until 31 December 2001 when Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 expires.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
1. By way of derogation from Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, products listed in the Annex to this Regulation which are manufactured in Cambodia from woven fabric (woven items) or yarn (knitted items) imported into that country and originating in a country belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) (except Myanmar), to the South Asian Assocation for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement shall be regarded as originating in Cambodia in accordance with the arrangements set out below.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, products shall be considered as originating in ASEAN or SAARC when they are obtained in these countries according to the rules of origin provided for in Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, or as originating in the beneficiary countries of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement when they are obtained in those countries according to the rules of origin provided in Protocol No 1 to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(9).
3. The competent authorities of Cambodia shall undertake to take all of the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of paragraph 2.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products transported directly from Cambodia and imported into the Community during the period from 15 July 2000 to 31 December 2001, up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product.
The quantities referred to in Article 2 shall be managed by the Commission, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Articles 308a to 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
When drawings under Article 3 account for 80 % of the quantities shown in the Annex, the Commission, in consultation with the Cambodian authorities, shall consider whether it is necessary to extend application of the derogation beyond those quantities.
The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificates of origin Form A issued by the competent authorities of Cambodia pursuant to this Regulation:"Derogation - Regulation (EC) No 1614/2000"
In case of doubt, the Member States may demand a copy of the document certifying the origin of the materials used in Cambodia under this derogation. Such a demand may be made at the time of entry into free circulation of the goods benefiting from this Regulation, or within the framework of the administrative cooperation for which provision is made in Article 94 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |
