Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and in particular point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 75 (4) thereof,
Whereas, under the programme for the disposal of stocks of vinous alcohol obtained from the Community distillation operations referred to in Article 35, 36 and 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (2), and held by intervention agencies, sales by tender of lots of alcohol for use as motor fuel within the Community have been opened; whereas these result in exports from Spain to other Member States; whereas the lots exported are subject to residual customs duties which are unjustified in view of the end-use of the alcohol sold; whereas these duties should be suspended in full in order to facilitate disposal, given Spain's undertaking to ensure the reciprocity laid down in Article 75 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal for the suspension of residual customs duties in the event of a decision being taken to open a Community tendering procedure involving the export of vinous alcohol to Spain from the other Member States;
Whereas it should be specified that control of the end-use must be carried out in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4142/87 of 9 December 1987 determining the conditions under which certain goods are eligible on import for a favourable tariff arrangement by reason of their end-use (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3124/89 (4),
The customs duties applicable to vinous ethyl alcohol obtained in Spain from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and intended for use as motor fuel within the Community under special sales by tender, are hereby suspended.
Control of the intended use shall be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 4142/87.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

31997D0188 | 97/188/EC: Council Decision of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to conclude with the Czech Republic two agreements containing measures derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
| COUNCIL DECISION of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to conclude with the Czech Republic two agreements containing measures derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (97/188/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 30 of the Sixth Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to conclude with a non-member country or an international organization an agreement which may contain derogations from the said Directive;
Whereas, by letters officially received by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 22 August 1995 and 26 March 1996, the German Government requested authorization to conclude two agreements with the Czech Republic which contain derogations from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive as regards the construction, repair and renewal of two frontier bridges between the Contracting States;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 25 April 1996 of the German request;
Whereas, in the absence of derogations, the construction, repair and renewal work carried out on German territory would be subject to value-added tax in Germany while that carried out on Czech territory would lie outside the scope of the Sixth Directive and whereas, in addition, each importation from the Czech Republic into Germany of goods used for the construction, repair and renewal of the two frontier bridges concerned would be subject to value-added tax in Germany;
Whereas the purpose of these derogations is to simplify the rules of taxation for the contractors carrying out the work in question;
Whereas the derogations will have only a negligible effect on the own resources of the European Communities accruing from value-added tax,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to conclude two agreements with the Czech Republic containing measures derogating from the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC.
The first agreement concerns the construction of a frontier bridge across the Rehlingbach between Waidhaus and Rozvadov linking the German A 6 motorway, which runs eastwards from Nuremberg, with the Czech D 5 motorway, which runds westwards from Plzen.
The second agreement concerns the construction of a frontier bridge between Schรถnberg and Vojtanov extending the E 49 motorway.
The derogations provided for by these agreements are spelt out in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Decision.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of the Sixth Directive, insofar as they are situated on the territory of the Czech Republic, the area of the construction site for the frontier bridge referred to in the second paragraph of Article 1 of this Directive and, after its completion, the frontier bridge itself shall be treated as forming part of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as regards supplies of goods or services intended for the construction of the frontier bridge or for its repair and renewal.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of the Sixth Directive, insofar as they are situated on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, the area of the construction site for the frontier bridge referred to in the third paragraph of Article 1 of this Decision and, after its completion, the frontier bridge shall be treated as forming part of the territory of the Czech Republic as regards supplies of goods or services intended for the construction of the frontier bridge or for its repair and renewal.
By way of derogation from Article 2 (2) of the Sixth Directive, the importation of goods into Germany from the Czech Republic shall not be subject to value added tax insofar as those goods are used for the construction, repair or renewal of one of the bridges referred to in the second and third paragraphs of Article 1 of this Decision. However, this derogation shall not apply to goods imported by a public authority for the same purpose.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 February 2011
on the clearance of the accounts of a paying agency in Italy concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) for the 2008 financial year
(notified under document C(2011) 757)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2011/104/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 30 and Article 32(8) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decisions 2009/367/EC (2) and 2010/56/EU (3) cleared, for the 2008 financial year, the accounts of all the paying agencies except for the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’ and the Greek paying agency ‘OPEKEPE’.
(2) Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (4) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be determined by deducting the monthly payments in respect of the financial year in question, i.e. 2008, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with paragraph 1. The Commission shall deduct that amount from, or add it to, the monthly payment relating to the expenditure effected in the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.
(4) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the EU budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model table that had to be provided in 2009 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than 4 or 8 years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(5) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.
(6) In clearing the accounts of the paying agencies concerned, the Commission must take account of the amounts already withheld from the Member States concerned on the basis of Decisions 2009/367/EC and 2010/56/EU.
(7) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from EU financing expenditure not effected in accordance with EU rules,
The accounts of the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), in respect of the 2008 financial year, are hereby cleared.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State concerned pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in Annex.

31996D0710 | 96/710/EC: Commission Decision of 27 November 1996 in application, at the request of Germany, of Article 5 (4) of Council Directive 93/75/EEC of 13 September 1993 concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goods (The German text alone is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 27 November 1996 in application, at the request of Germany, of Article 5 (4) of Council Directive 93/75/EEC of 13 September 1993 concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goods (The German text alone is authentic) (96/710/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/75/EEC of 13 September 1993 concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goods (1), as amended by Commission Directive 96/39/EC (2), and in particular Article 5 (4) thereof,
Whereas, in order to limit the risks of serious accidents at sea and to reduce the resulting damage, Article 5 of Directive 93/75/EEC provides that the operators of the vessels covered by the Directive shall notify the information listed in Annex I thereto to the competent authorities of the Member State concerned; whereas Article 5 (4) authorizes the Member States to exempt regular scheduled services of less than one hour's crossing time from such notification requirement and allows the Commission to agree to a reasonable extension of this period on request from a Member State;
Whereas, the information given by Germany in its request of 12 April 1994, on the basis of which scheduled services between the mainland and East Frisia Islands were exempted by Decision of the Commission (3) from the application of Article 5 (4) of Directive 93/75/EEC, has been completed by a communication dated 23 February 1996 concerning regular services between the mainland and North Frisia Islands; whereas in this communication, Germany asked the Commission to agree to an exemption for the services operated between the ports of Dagebüll to Wittdün (Amrum Island) and Schlüttsiel to Hallig Langeness, which have crossing times of two hours;
Whereas the appropriate measures have been taken by the German competent authorities to ensure a high level of safety of navigation and protection of the marine environment in the area; whereas these measures include traffic surveillance and the provision of safety information to vessels, as well as the obligation to comply with local navigation rules;
Whereas the vessels in question provide local services between the islands and the mainland; whereas the risks of accident and marine pollution are limited owing to the scarce maritime traffic in the area and the small quantities of polluting goods on board the vessels;
Whereas the information required by Annex I to the Directive is available at any time from the operators or captains;
Whereas, in the circumstances, it is justifiable to accept the request from Germany to exempt the regular scheduled services referred to above from the application of Article 5 (2) and (3) of Directive 93/75/EEC,
Germany is hereby authorized to exempt the regular scheduled services between Dagebüll and Wittdün and between Schlüttsiel and Hallig Langeness from the application of Article 5 (2) and (3) of Directive 93/75/EEC, subject to the following conditions:
- the waters in which the services covered by this Decision operate are duly buoyed and are drawn to the attention of navigators in the relevant nautical documents,
- compliance with the local navigation rules is assured,
- constant contact is maintained, in particular by radio links, with the competent maritime traffic service,
- only small quantities of dangerous or polluting goods, within the meaning of Directive 93/75/EEC, are carried on board,
- the information referred to in Annex I to Directive 93/75/EEC is made available by the operators throughout the crossing and can at any time be provided to the authorities of the Member State on request.

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 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1168/2005 (2) was amended in order to extend the closing date for tenders until 28 June 2006.
(2) In the context of this extension, however, the weeks from 26 October 2005 when no invitation to tender will be made were not specified. Tenders could thus be lodged in good faith by traders during those weeks, although no Management Committee meetings are scheduled.
(3) It is necessary, therefore, to exclude the weeks up to 28 June 2006 during which no invitation to tender will be made.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1168/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1168/2005 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 15.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 3 August 2005, 17 August 2005, 31 August 2005, 28 December 2005, 12 April 2006 and 24 May 2006, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.’

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.

(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties that have been fixed as from 15 May 2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2003(5) as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be adjusted in compliance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 and fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2025/2004
of 25 November 2004
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector 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 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2) specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kg for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) 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.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (3) with effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for export refunds.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex shall not be applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 November 2004.
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 |

(notified under document C(2014) 496)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(2014/58/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC contains the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. Commission Directive 2008/81/EC (2) added the active substance difenacoum for use in products belonging to product-type 14, Rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(2) Difenacoum is an anticoagulant rodenticide known to pose risks of accidental incidents with children, as well as risks for non-target animals and the environment. It has been identified as potentially persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic (‘PBT’), or very persistent and very liable to bioaccumulate (‘vPvB’).
(3) For reasons of public health and hygiene, it was nevertheless found to be justified to include difenacoum and other anticoagulant rodenticides in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, thus allowing Member States to authorise difenacoum-based products. However, Member States were obliged to ensure, when granting authorisation of products containing difenacoum, that primary as well as secondary exposure of humans, non-target animals and the environment is minimised, by considering and applying all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures. The risk mitigation measures mentioned in Directive 2008/81/EC therefore include, amongst others, restriction to professional use only.
(4) The company VEBI Istituto Biochimico S.r.l. (‘the applicant’) has, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, submitted one application to Italy for authorisation of one rodenticide containing difenacoum (‘the product’).
(5) Italy granted the authorisation of the product on 20 December 2012. The product was authorised with restrictions to ensure that the conditions of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC were met in Italy. Those restrictions did not include restriction to trained or licensed professional users.
(6) On 18 February 2013, the applicant submitted a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the first authorisation in respect of the product.
(7) On 12 June 2013, Germany notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant of its proposal to restrict the first authorisation in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany proposed to impose a restriction on the product to use by trained or licensed professionals.
(8) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. No comments were submitted within that deadline. The notification was also discussed between the Commission and Member States’ Competent Authorities for biocidal products in the meeting of the Product Authorisation and Mutual Recognition Facilitation Group of 9 July 2013.
(9) In accordance with Directive 98/8/EC, authorisations of biocidal products containing difenacoum are to be subject to all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures, including the restriction to professional use only. The scientific evaluation leading to the inclusion of difenacoum in Directive 98/8/EC concluded that only professional users could be expected to follow the instructions minimising the risk of secondary poisoning of non-target animals, and to use products in a way that prevents the selection and spreading of resistance. A restriction to professional users should therefore in principle be considered to be an appropriate risk mitigation measure, in particular in Member States where resistance to difenacoum occurs.
(10) In the absence of any indication to the contrary, restriction to professional users is therefore an appropriate and available risk mitigation measure for the authorisation of products containing difenacoum in Germany. This conclusion is reinforced by the arguments put forward by Germany that resistance against difenacoum in rats has been found and is thought to be developing in the country. Furthermore, Germany has a well-functioning infrastructure of trained pest control operators and licensed professionals, such as farmers, gardeners and foresters who received professional training, which means that the proposed restriction does not hinder infection prevention.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Germany may restrict the authorisation granted in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 98/8/EC for the product mentioned in the Annex to this Decision to use by trained or licensed professionals.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 90 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2964/88 (2), and in particular Article 35, 38, 39 and 41 thereof,
Whereas, as stipulated in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2353/87 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2932/87 (4), in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2544/87 (5), in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1596/88 (7), and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4023/87 (8), 1987/88 distillation operations may not be effected after 31 August 1988;
Whereas certain operational difficulties have occured in the initial stages of application in Spain in 1987/88 of the common organization of the market in wine; whereas in particular the execution of distillation operations within the time limits set by the rules in force has resulted in temporary saturation of the storage capacity available to the Spanish intervention agency; whereas in order to deal with this difficulty and ensure proper application of the distillation measures it is necessary to adopt transitional provisions to facilitate the changeover from the previous Spanish wine sector arrangements to those of the common organization of the market; whereas the time limit for distillation operations should therefore be extended by 15 days;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
In Spain, notwithstanding Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2353/87, Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2544/87, Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 and Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 4023/87, distillation operations for the 1987/88 wine year under Articles 35, 38, 39 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 may, for wine already delivered to distillers, be effected up to 15 September 1988.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 September 1988.

(2010/266/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae (1), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4), Article 15(a), Article 16(2) and the introductory phrase and Article 19(i) and (ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 92/260/EEC of 10 April 1992 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for temporary admission of registered horses (2) assigns third countries, from which the temporary admission into the Union of registered horses is authorised, to sanitary groups of countries for the application of specific animal health and certification requirements.
(2) Commission Decision 93/195/EEC of 2 February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export (3) assigns third countries from which the re-entry of such horses into the Union is authorised to sanitary groups for the application of specific animal health requirements and provides model animal health certificates to be used for registered horses that have participated in specific equestrian events.
(3) Commission Decision 93/197/EEC of 5 February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production (4) assigns third countries, from which the imports of such equidae into the Union is authorised, to sanitary groups for the application of specific animal health and certification requirements.
(4) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC of 6 January 2004 establishing the list of third countries and parts of territory thereof from which Member States authorise imports of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species (5) establishes a list of third countries, or parts thereof, from which Member States authorise, amongst others, the temporary admission of registered horses, the re-entry of registered horses after temporary export for racing, competition and cultural events and the import of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production. That list, set out in Annex I to that Decision, also assigns those third countries and parts thereof to certain specified sanitary groups.
(5) Decisions 92/260/EEC, 93/195/EEC and 93/197/EEC take into account regionalisation as provided for in Commission Decision 92/160/EEC (6). That Decision was repealed by Decision 2004/211/EC. Accordingly, it is necessary to amend Annex I to those three Decisions on the basis of regionalisation as now provided for in Decision 2004/211/EC, as well as the sanitary groups laid in that Decision.
(6) In order to host the equestrian events of the 16th Asian Games, the competent authorities of China have requested the recognition of an equine disease-free zone which they have established in the administrative district of Conghua City, Guangzhou Municipality, Guangdong Province in China. In January 2010, the Commission carried out a veterinary inspection in China, including the equine disease free zone, which consists of a core zone, which is embedded in a surveillance zone surrounded by a protection zone, and which is connected to an airport and a harbor by biosecurity highway passages.
(7) The Chinese authorities have provided a number of guarantees in particular as regards the notifiability of the diseases listed in Annex A to Directive 90/426/EEC in their country and the undertaking to fully comply with Article 12(2)(f) as regards the immediate disease notification to the Commission and the Member States.
(8) In order to ensure the sustainable protection of the health status of the equine population within the equine disease-free zone, the Chinese authorities have undertaken to operate a quarantine facility in the protection zone to control the entry of equidae from holdings in other parts of China or from countries not listed in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC. During this pre-entry quarantine the animals are subjected to the animal health tests in line with EU import conditions.
(9) Prior to the pre-entry quarantine, the movement of these equidae is controlled to ensure that the standards laid down in Article 4 of Directive 90/426/EEC can be certified for the holdings outside the equine disease free zone in which they have been kept during the 180 days prior to dispatch to the European Union.
(10) Taking into account the satisfactory results reported from this inspection, together with the information and guarantees provided by China, it is appropriate to include China in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC, but at the same time to regionalise China for certain equine diseases and to authorise only the introduction of registered horses from the equine disease-free zone in Guangzhou, Province of Guangdong.
(11) From an epidemiological point of view the equine disease-free zone in Guangzhou, Province of Guangdong, in China should be assigned to sanitary group C in the list in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC. That Annex should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) Consequently, it is necessary to amend Decision 92/260/EEC to include this part of China in the list of countries in Annex I to that Decision and to adapt the title and certain testing requirements of the Health Certificate C of Annex II to that Decision.
(13) For the purpose of re-entry of registered horses, it is necessary to update Article 1, to include this part of China in the list of countries in Annex I, to adapt the title of the health certificate in Annex II and to replace the model health certificate in Annex VII to Decision 93/195/EEC.
(14) It is also necessary to amend Decision 93/197/EEC to include this part of China in the list of countries in Annex I and to adapt the title of and certain testing requirements of the Health Certificate C of Annex II to that Decision.
(15) At the same time certain third country denominations in Decisions 92/260/EEC, 93/195/EEC and 93/197/EEC are adapted to the corresponding denominations in the list of third countries established by Decision 2004/211/EC.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,

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 market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 May 2003.

An "A product" means a processed product falling within CN code 1602 10, 1602 50 31, 1602 50 39 or 1602 50 80, not containing meat other than that of animals of the bovine species, with a collagen/protein ratio of no more than 0,45(12), and containing by weight at least 20 %(13), of lean meat excluding offal(14), and fat with meat and jelly accounting for at least 85 % of the total net weight.
The product must be subjected to a heat treatment sufficient to ensure the coagulation of meat proteins in the whole of the product, which may not therefore show any traces of a pinkish liquid on the cut surface when the product is cut along a line passing through its thickest part.
3. A "B product" means a processed product containing beef, other than:
- one specified in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1254/1999, or
- one referred to in paragraph 2.
However, a processed product falling within CN code 0210 20 90 which has been dried or smoked so that the colour and consistency of the fresh meat has totally disappeared and with a water/protein ratio not exceeding 3,2 shall be considered to be a B product.
1. Member States shall set up a system of physical and documentary supervision to ensure that all meat is processed in accordance with Article 6.
The system must include physical checks of quantity and quality at the start of the processing, during the processing and after the processing operation is completed. To this end, processors shall at any time be able to demonstrate the identity and use of the meat through appropriate production records.
Technical verification of the production method by the competent authority may, to the extent necessary, make allowance for drip losses and trimmings.
In order to verify the quality of the finished product and establish its conformity with the processor's recipe Member States shall undertake representative sampling and analysis of the product. The costs of such operations shall be borne by the processor concerned.
2. Member States may, at the request of the processor, authorise the boning of bone-in forequarters in an establishment other than that provided for in respect of processing provided the relevant operations take place in the same Member State under appropriate supervision.
3. Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 shall not apply.
1. Notwithstanding Article 15(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, the security shall be EUR 12 per 100 kilograms.
2. The security provided for in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 shall be the difference in EUR between the tender price per tonne and EUR 1600.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77, the processing of all beef purchased into finished products as referred to in Article 6 shall constitute a principal requirement.
Notwithstanding Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77, in addition to the entries provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 26 January 2009 the Council adopted Decision 2009/62/EC implementing Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 (2), establishing an updated list of persons, groups and entities to which that Regulation applies.
(2) The Council has provided all the persons, groups and entities for which it was practically possible with statements of reasons explaining why they were listed in Decision 2009/62/EC. In the case of one person an amended statement of reasons was provided in March 2009.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables, the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession (1), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 75 of the Act of Accession introduces a compensatory mechanism on import into 'the Community of Nine' for fruit and vegetables coming from Greece for which an institutional price is fixed;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually, on the one hand, on the basis of the arithmetical average of producer prices of each Member State of 'the Community of Nine', increased by the transport and packaging costs borne by the products from the areas of production up to the representative centres of Community consumption and, on the other hand, taking into account the trend of production costs in the fruit and vegetables sector; whereas the said producer prices are to correspond to an average of the price quotations recorded over three years prior to fixing the Community offer price; whereas, however, the annual Community offer price may not exceed the level of the reference price applied vis-Ă -vis third countries, this Community offer price being reduced by 12 % at the time of the fourth move toward price alignment referred to in Article 59 of the Act;
Whereas, in order to take account of seasonal price variations, the marketing year should be split into several periods and a Community offer price fixed for each such period;
Whereas, by virtue of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81, the rates used to calculate production prices are those recorded for an indigenous product whose trade characteristics are defined, on the representative market or markets within the production zones where the rates are lowest, for the products or varieties which represent a substantial proportion of marketable production throughout the year or during a part of the year and which correspond to quality category I and to set conditions in respect of packaging; whereas the average rate for each representative market is to be drawn up disregarding rates which may be considered excessively high or low compared with the normal fluctuations recorded on the said market;
Whereas application of the abovementioned criteria results in fixing the Community offer prices for peaches for the period 11 June to 30 September 1984 at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1984 marketing year, the Community offer prices for peaches including nectarines, falling within subheading 08.07 B of the Common Customs Tariff, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:

of 5 November 2013
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (enhancement of regular shipping services)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Key action 2 of the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the regions ‘Single Market Act II, Together for new growth’ (2) calls for the establishment of a true Single Market for maritime transport by no longer subjecting Union goods transported between Union seaports to administrative and customs formalities that apply to goods arriving from overseas ports.
(2) To this end, the Commission committed itself to tabling a ‘Blue Belt’ package with legislative and non-legislative initiatives to reduce the administrative burden on operators engaging in intra-Union maritime transport to a level that is comparable to that of other modes of transport (air, rail and road).
(3) This Regulation forms part of the Blue Belt package.
(4) According to Article 313(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3), goods brought into the customs territory of the Community in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall not be deemed to be Community goods unless it is established that they have Community status.
(5) Article 313(3)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that goods shipped between ports in the customs territory of the Community by an authorised regular shipping service shall be considered to be Community goods, unless established otherwise. Regular shipping service vessels may also transport non-Community goods, provided they are placed under the external Community transit procedure. In addition, the use of a regular shipping service for the transport of non-Community goods is without prejudice to the application of controls for other purposes, including those relating to animal, public or plant health risks.
(6) Before issuing an authorisation for a regular shipping service, the authorising customs authority is required to consult the customs authorities of the other Member States concerned by that service. If, after having been granted authorisation, the holder of such authorisation (hereinafter the ‘holder’) subsequently wishes to extend the service to other Member States, further consultations would be required with the customs authorities of such Member States. To avoid in as much as possible the need to hold further consultations after the authorisation has been granted, it should be provided that shipping companies applying for authorisation may, in addition to listing the Member States actually concerned by the service, also specify Member States which could potentially be concerned for which they declare that they have plans for future services.
(7) Since 2010, a period of 45 days has been allowed for the consultation of the customs authorities of other Member States. However, experience has shown that this period is unnecessarily long and should be reduced.
(8) The use of an electronic information and communication system has rendered Annex 42A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 redundant.
(9) At the request of the holder, authorisations for regular shipping services existing before the entry into force of this Regulation should be reviewed to take into account any Member States which could potentially be concerned for which the holder declares that he has plans for future services.
(10) The electronic information and communication system currently used to store information and to notify the customs authorities of other Member States about regular shipping service authorisations is not the system referred to in Article 14x of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The references to this system should be corrected.
(11) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The changes in the length of the period allowed for the consultation of the customs authorities of other Member States and in the number of Member States which may be specified in the application require changes to the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system and a deferred application of the relevant provisions of this Regulation.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 313b is amended as follows:
(a) The following paragraph 2a is inserted after paragraph 2:
(a) the data of the applications;
(b) the regular shipping service authorisations and, where applicable, their amendment or revocation;
(c) the names of the ports of call and the names of the vessels assigned to the service;
(d) all other relevant information.’,
(b) paragraph 3 is amended as follows:
(i) the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(ii) In the second sub-paragraph, ‘45’ is replaced by ‘15’,
(iii) In the second sub-paragraph, the words ‘the electronic information and communication system referred to in Article 14x’ are replaced by ‘the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system referred to in paragraph 2a.’,
(iv) In the third sub-paragraph, the words ‘the electronic information and communication system referred to in Article 14x’ are replaced by ‘the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system referred to in paragraph 2a.’;
(2) In the second sub-paragraph of Article 313c(2), the words ‘the electronic information and communication system referred to in Article 14x’ are replaced by ‘the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system referred to in Article 313b(2a).’;
(3) In the first sub-paragraph of Article 313d(2), the words ‘the electronic information and communication system referred to in Article 14x’ are replaced by ‘the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system referred to in Article 313b(2a).’;
(4) In Article 313f(2), the words ‘the electronic information and communication system referred to in Article 14x’ are replaced by ‘the electronic regular shipping services information and communication system referred to in Article 313b(2a).’;
(5) Annex 42A is deleted.
The authorising customs authorities shall, at the request of the holder, review authorisations for regular shipping services which already exist on the date of application of this Regulation laid down in the second paragraph of Article 3 in order to take into account Member States which could potentially be concerned for which the holder declares that he has plans for future services.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Point 1 (b) (i) and (ii) of Article 1 shall apply from 1 March 2014.

(2) In the case of additives referred to in part II of Annex C to Directive 70/524/EEC, which includes micro-organisms and enzymes, authorisation without a time limit of an additive already authorised may be given if the conditions laid down in Article 3(a) are satisfied.
(3) The use of the micro-organism preparation of Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999 (3).
(4) New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of this micro-organism.
(5) The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted in respect of this micro-organism, shows that the conditions provided for in Directive 70/524/EEC for authorisation without a time limit are satisfied.
(6) The use of this micro-organism for chickens for fattening, specified in Annex I, should therefore be authorised without a time limit.
(7) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 74 252) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening in liquid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/1998 (4), and in granular form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 937/2001 (5).
(8) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 654/2000 (6).
(9) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Penicillium funiculosum (IMI SD 101) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 866/1999 (7).
(10) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 520.94) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/1998 (8).
(11) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG-S 15136) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening in solid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1353/2000 (9) and in liquid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2188/2002 (10).
(12) New data were submitted in support of the applications for authorisation without a time limit of each of these enzyme preparations.
(13) The assessment of the applications for authorisation submitted in respect of each of these enzyme preparations, shows that the conditions provided for in Directive 70/524/EEC for authorisation without time limit are satisfied.
(14) The use of these enzyme preparations for chickens for fattening under the conditions set out in Annexes II, III, IV, V and VI should therefore be authorised without a time limit.
(15) The assessment of these applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of 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 (11), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12).
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation belonging to the group ‘micro-organisms’ as set out in Annex I is authorised for use as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparations belonging to the group ‘enzymes’ as set out in Annexes II, III, IV, V and VI are authorised for use as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in those Annexes.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/572/EC(2), and in particular Articles 12 and 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Foot-and-mouth disease, due to types A, O and ASIA 1, is endemic in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and bordering countries. The presence of different types and subtypes of the foot-and-mouth disease virus and the emergence of new antigenically distinct viruses in that area constitute a threat to the Community and jeopardise the Community-supported efforts of Turkey to control the disease.
(2) The Community, in close cooperation with the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EUFMD) and the Office international des ĂŠpizooties (OIE), supported campaigns of emergency vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in 1999 and 2000 by the use of Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC. This support was discontinued due to shortcomings identified during a joint mission in these countries by experts from the Commission and the EUFMD in 2000.
(3) In early 2002 representatives of the Commission, the EUFMD, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the OIE, together with the chief veterinary officers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia elaborated a programme for the establishment of a vaccination belt along the southern borders of those countries in order to enhance the protection of Turkey from the incursion of the foot-and-mouth disease.
(4) With a view to preventing the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, the Community should contribute to emergency measures to control that disease in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
(5) The amount provided for in Commission Decision 2001/300/EC of 30 March 2001 on Community cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organisation with particular regard to activities carried out by the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease(3), and the Implementing Agreement concluded in accordance with that Decision, is insufficient to cover the expenses provided for by this Decision. The total Community contribution to Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC should therefore be increased by the amount necessary to carry out the joint EC/EUFMD/OIE programme for the control of foot-and-mouth disease in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
(6) The Implementing Agreement concluded between the European Commission and the FAO should be amended to take into account the amendments made to Decision 2001/300/EC.
(7) Decision 2001/300/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Funds contained in Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC, provided for in Decision 2001/300/EC, shall be used for the following measures:
(a) the purchase of 1000000 doses of Al(OH)3-adjuvated trivalent vaccine against the foot-and-mouth disease virus of types O1, A-Iran 96 and ASIA1 with a potency of 6 PD50;
(b) the delivery of the doses of the vaccine referred to in point (a) to the central veterinary authorities of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia for emergency vaccination in the districts along their southern borders of susceptible animals in accordance with the vaccination programme to be set up by letter of agreement between the veterinary authorities of those countries and the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EUFMD);
(c) on-the-spot supervision of the vaccination campaign and organisation of a serological surveillance by an expert appointed by EUFMD;
(d) the supply of test kits for the detection of antibodies against non-structural proteins, the monitoring of the vaccination campaign and the substantiation of the disease situation.
For the measures referred to in Article 1, the Commission shall transfer to Trust Fund 911100/MTF/INT/003/EEC the additional amount of USD 650000.
The Director-General of the Health and consumer protection Directorate-General shall be authorised to make the necessary arrangements for the implementation of the measures provided for in Article 2, with the EUFMD of the Food Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
Decision 2001/300/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1(2) is replaced by the following:
"2. As from 1 January 2001, the financial obligation of the Community to the fund referred to in paragraph 1 shall be set at a maximum of EUR 2450000 for a period of four years from that date."
2. Article 2(3) is replaced by the following:
"3. The Director-General of the Health and consumer protection Directorate-General shall be authorised to sign the Implementing Agreement referred to in paragraph 1 on behalf of the Commission. He shall also be authorised to conclude with the FAO an amended Implementing Agreement in order to take account of the amendments made to Article 1(2)."

Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80, the place of introduction into the customs territory of the Community is, for goods carried by air, the place where the land frontier of the customs territory of the Community is crossed;
Whereas Article 15 (2) (a) of that Regulation provides, in particular, that when goods are carried by the same means of transport to a point beyond the place of introduction into the customs territory of the Community, transport costs shall be assessed in proportion to the distance covered outside and inside the customs territory of the Community;
Whereas the fixing in advance of the percentages of air transport costs to be included in the customs value according to the various airports of departure and destination will facilitate declarations concerning the customs value of goods and the verification by the customs authorities of those declarations;
Whereas it is appropriate to draw up a table of these percentages based in each case on the most direct air route, unless a less direct air route crosses the Community frontier at a place nearer the airport of departure;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3178/80 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 321/85 (4), replaced Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1033/77 (5) ; whereas on that account the application of its provisions in Greece has been deferred until 1 January 1986 in accordance with Article 144 and Annex XI of the Act of Accession of Greece; whereas it will be necessary from that date to include Greece in the table of percentages referred to;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Valuation Committee,
The air transport costs to be included in the customs value of goods shall be determined by applying the rules and percentages shown in the Annex.
Regulation (EEC) No 3178/80 is hereby repealed.
Any references to it shall be deemed to refer to this Regulation.

of 2 March 2012
amending, for the purpose of adaptation to technical progress, part III of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to toy safety
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the safety of toys (1), and in particular Article 46.1 (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/48 sets limit values for cadmium, based on the recommendations of the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) made in the 2008 report entitled "Chemicals in Toys. A general methodology for assessment of chemical safety of toys with a focus on elements". The RIVM recommendations are based on the assumption that exposure of children to chemicals in toys may not exceed a certain level, called “tolerable daily intake”. Since children are exposed to chemicals via other sources than toys, only a percentage of the tolerable daily intake should be allocated to toys. The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) recommended in its 2004 report that a maximum of 10 % of the tolerable daily intake may be allocated to toys. However, for cadmium and other chemical substances which are particularly toxic, the recommended allocation should not exceed 5 % of the tolerable daily intake, in order to ensure that only traces that are compatible with good manufacturing practice will be present
(2) According to the RIVM recommendations, the maximum percentage of the tolerable daily intake should be multiplied by the weight of a child, estimated at 7.5 kg, and divided by the quantity of toy material ingested, in order to obtain the limit values for the chemical substances listed in Directive 2009/48/EC.
(3) For cadmium, RIVM used the tolerable weekly intake of 7 μg/kg established by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation Experts committee on food additives (JEFCA) in 1989 and confirmed by JECFA in 2001. A safety factor of two was applied, resulting in a tolerable weekly intake of 3.5 μg/kg and a tolerable daily intake of 0.5 μg/kg.
(4) In order to define possible exposure scenarios to chemical substances, the quantity of toy material ingested was estimated by the RIVM at 8 mg per day for scraped-off toy material, 100 mg for brittle toy material and 400 mg for liquid or sticky toy material. Those ingestion limits were supported by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) in its opinion entitled "Risks from organic CMR substances in toys" adopted on the 18 May 2010.
(5) By applying 5 % of the tolerable daily intake, multiplied by the weight of the child and divided by the quantity of toy material ingested, the following limit values for cadmium were established: 23 mg/kg for scrapped-off material, 1.9 mg/kg for dry material and 0.5 mg/kg for liquid material.
(6) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its opinion of 30 January 2009 that the tolerable weekly intake established by JEFCA in 1989 and confirmed by JECFA in 2001 was no longer appropriate in view of the new developments related to the toxicology of cadmium. The EFSA established a new tolerable weekly intake of 2.5 μg/kg, resulting in a tolerable daily intake of 0.36 μg/kg.
(7) Applying 5 % of the new tolerable daily intake, multiplied by the weight of the child and divided by the quantity of toy material ingested results in the following limits for cadmium: 17 mg/kg for scrapped-off material, 1.3 mg/kg for dry material and 0.3 mg/kg for liquid material.
(8) Directive 2009/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Toy Safety Committee.
Part III of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 20 January 2013 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions

It has appeared that nutmeg, certain pepper species and mixtures thereof, safflower flowers, mixtures of certain edible crops having colouring and tasting qualities, smoked coriander, and kirsch are currently not available from organic production. Therefore these products should be included in Section C of Annex VI to that Regulation.
(3) There is a need for the measures being taken by urgency, as for certain products the possibility for prolongation of the authorisations at national level in accordance with Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 207/93 has expired.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 941/96 (2), and in particular Article 19 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Whereas the fifth and sixth indents of Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3053/95 (3) respectively amended and repealed Annexes VI and VIa to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93; whereas this amendment was adopted at a time when, by virtue of Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, the Commission was not yet entitled to do so, the Council not yet having decided to conclude or apply provisionally the market access arrangements negotiated by the Commission with India and Pakistan; whereas Regulation (EC) No 3053/95 therefore contains a procedural defect that warrants at least its withdrawal or partial annulment; whereas according to the case-law of the Court, notably as established in its judgment of 20 June 1991 in Case C-248/89 Cargill v. Commission ECR I, p. 2987, the withdrawal of an unlawful act is admissible only if it takes place within a reasonable period and sufficient account is taken of the legitimate expectations engendered by its adoption; whereas the application of these principles requires that the rights engendered among its intended beneficiaries, and in particular those involved in the textiles trade (by Regulation (EC) No 3053/95) in the period from 1 January 1995 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation be honoured; whereas it must nevertheless be underlined that this withdrawal is not to be seen as undermining or derogating from Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, which provides that the said Regulation and its Annexes 'shall not constitute in any way a derogation from the provisions either of the bilateral agreements, protocols or arrangements on textile trade which the Community has concluded with the third countries listed in Annex II or of the ATC with regard to the WTO Members listed in Annex XI and which, in all cases of conflict, shall prevail`;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
1. Regulation (EC) No 3053/95 shall be repealed with retroactive effect from 1 January 1995 inasmuch as the fifth and sixth indents of Article 1 thereof amend and/or repeal Annexes VI and VIa to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
2. The partial withdrawal of Regulation (EC) No 3053/95 referred to in paragraph 1 shall not affect the rights that its adoption may have engendered among its intended beneficiaries in the period from 1 January 1995 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2287/20031 of 19 December 2003 fixing for 2004 the fishing opportunities and associated fishing conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required, lays down quotas for common sole for 2004 (2).
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of common sole in the waters of ICES divisions VIIIa and VIIIb by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have exhausted the quota for 2004. Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock from 6 August 2004. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the ‘least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety’; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory-production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory-production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory-production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, it may be decided that specific control methods are not to be used as part of national control programmes established by Member States to achieve the Community targets set up in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Also, under Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 it may be decided that specific control methods may or shall be applied for the reduction of prevalence of zoonoses and zoonotic agents at the stage of the primary production of animals and other stages in the food chain, and rules may be adopted concerning the conditions for the use of such methods.
(3) Pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, the Commission is to consult the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) before proposing rules on specific control methods.
(4) The Commission consulted EFSA on the use of antimicrobials and on the use of vaccines for the control of salmonella in poultry. Following that request, EFSA issued two separate opinions on those issues on 21 October 2004.
(5) In its opinion on the use of antimicrobials for the control of salmonella in poultry, EFSA recommended that the use of antimicrobials should be discouraged due to public health risks associated with development, selection and spread of resistance. The use of antimicrobials should be subject to formally defined conditions that would ensure protection of public health, and must be fully justified in advance and recorded by the competent authority.
(6) As regards breeding flocks, while the opinion acknowledged the potential risk of dissemination of residual Salmonella spp., including dissemination of any selected resistant strains through the production pyramid, it recognised that valuable genetic material may be salvaged from infected breeding flocks through the use of antimicrobials. The opinion concluded also that most generally and for all types of poultry, on the rare occasions when Salmonella spp. causes clinical infections, antimicrobials may be useful in reducing morbidity and mortality.
(7) Therefore, on the basis of the opinion of EFSA, it is appropriate to provide that antimicrobials should not be used as part of national control programmes to be adopted pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, other than in the exceptional circumstances referred to by EFSA in its opinion.
(8) In any circumstances, only veterinary medicinal products authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (2), or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (3), should be used. Anti-microbial veterinary medicinal products are referred to as anti-microbials in this Regulation.
(9) It is generally recognised that the basis for successful control of salmonlla infections in poultry farms are good farming and hygienic practices as well as testing and removal of positive flocks from production.
(10) In its opinion on the use of vaccines for the control of salmonella in poultry, EFSA concludes that vaccination of poultry is regarded as an additional measure to increase the resistance of birds against salmonella exposure and decrease the shedding.
(11) In its conclusions, EFSA also states in particular that provided that the detection methods are able to differentiate the vaccine strains from wild strains, both inactivated and live vaccines can be safely used throughout the life of the birds except during the withdrawal period before slaughter.
(12) Therefore, on the basis of the opinion of EFSA, it is appropriate to provide that live vaccines should not be used as part of national control programmes to be adopted pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, if the manufacturer does not provide an appropriate method to distinguish bacteriologically wild-type strains of salmonella from vaccine strains.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Use of antimicrobials
1. Antimicrobials shall not be used as a specific method to control salmonella in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus in the framework of national control programmes adopted pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, except in the circumstances established in paragraph 2.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, and subject to the conditions specified in points (a), (b) and (c) and in paragraph 3, antimicrobials authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 may be used in the following exceptional circumstances:
(a) animals presenting salmonella infection with clinical signs in a way likely to cause undue suffering to the animals; the infected breeding flocks treated with antimicrobials shall still be considered infected with salmonella, and appropriate measures shall be taken to reduce as much as possible the risk of spreading salmonella through the rest of the breeding pyramid;
(b) salvaging of valuable genetic material, including ‘elite flocks’, flocks from endangered breeds, and flocks kept for research purposes, in order to establish new salmonella-free flocks; chicks born from hatching eggs collected from treated animals shall be subject to fortnightly sampling during the rearing phase, with a scheme aiming to detect 1 % prevalence of relevant salmonella with a 95 % confidence limit;
(c) authorisation given by the competent authority on a case by case basis for purposes other than salmonella control in a flock suspect of salmonella infection, in particular following detection of salmonella at the hatchery or at the holding; however, Member States may decide to allow treatment without prior authorisation in emergency situations, subject to reporting the treatment immediately to the competent authority.
3. The use of antimicrobials shall be subject to authorisation and supervision of the competent authority and shall be based wherever possible on the results of bacteriological sampling and of susceptibility testing.
Use of vaccines
Live salmonella vaccines for which the manufacturer does not provide an appropriate method to distinguish bacteriologically wild-type strains of salmonella from vaccine strains shall not be used in the framework of national control programmes adopted pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2011/52/EU
of 20 April 2011
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include carboxin as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second and third stages of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included carboxin.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of carboxin.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to the United Kingdom, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The United Kingdom evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 4 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on carboxin to the Commission on 11 October 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 March 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for carboxin.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing carboxin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include carboxin in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further confirmatory information as regards: the specification of the technical material, as commercially manufactured, including appropriate analytical data, the relevance of the impurities, comparison and verification of the test material used in the mammalian toxicity and ecotoxicity dossiers against the specification of the technical material, analytical methods for the monitoring of the metabolite M6 (7) in soil, groundwater and surface water and for the monitoring of metabolite M9 (8) in groundwater, additional values regarding the period required for 50 percent dissipation in soil for the soil metabolites P/V-54 (9) and P/V-55 (10), rotational crop metabolism, the long-term risk to granivorous birds, granivorous mammals and herbivorous mammals and the relevance for ground water of the soil metabolites P/V-54, P/V-55 and M9 if carboxin is classified under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) as ‘suspected of causing cancer’.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing carboxin to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (12) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of carboxin and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning carboxin in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
The line concerning carboxin in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing carboxin as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to carboxin are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing carboxin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning carboxin. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing carboxin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing carboxin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 of 14 December 1987 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices in the air transport sector (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having published a draft of this Regulation (2),
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on Agreements and Dominant Positions in Air Transport,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 empowers the Commission to apply Article 85 (3) of the Treaty by regulation to certain categories of agreements, decisions or concerted practices relating directly or indirectly to the provision of air transport services.
(2) Agreements, decisions or concerted practices concerning joint planning and coordination of capacity, sharing of revenue, consultations on tariffs and slot allocation at airports are liable to restrict competition and affect trade between Member States.
(3) Agreements concerning joint planning and coordination of capacity can help ensure the maintenance of services at less busy times of the day, during less busy periods or on less busy routes, thus benefiting air transport users. However, no air carrier should be bound by each agreement or concerted practices but must be free to change its planned services unilaterally. Nor must they prevent carriers deploying extra capacity. Any clauses concerning extra flights must not require prior approval in the event of deviation or involve financial penalties. Agreements must also allow parties to withdraw from them at reasonably short notice.
(4) Agreements on the sharing of revenue may encourage airlines to provide a service on a route during less busy periods, thereby improving the service to air transport users. To be eligible for exemption under Article 85 (3), however, revenue sharing must be kept within limits such that it does not affect the competitiveness of more efficient carriers. It must also be clearly related - route by route, and not merely in aggregate, because each route has its specific features - to improvements in the services covered by the agreement.
(5) Council Directive 87/601/EEC of 14 December 1987 on fares for scheduled air services between Member States (3) has laid down a new procedure for the establishment of air fares, which is a step towards an increase in price competition in air transport. The procedure restricts the possibility of innovative and competitive fare proposals by air carriers being blocked. Hence, competition may not be eliminated under these arrangements and consumers will benefit from them. Consultations on tariffs between air carriers may therefore be permitted, provided that participation in such consultations is optional, that they do not lead to an agreement in respect of tariffs or related conditions and that in the interests of transparency the Commission and the Member States concerned can send observers to them.
(6) Agreements on slot allocation at airports and airport scheduling can improve the utilization of airport capacity and airspace, facilitate air traffic control and help spread out the supply of air transport services from the airport. However, to provide a satisfactory degree of security and
transparency, such arrangements can only be accepted if all the air carriers concerned can participate in the negotiations, and if the allocation is made on a non-discriminatory and transparent basis.
(7) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87, this Regulation should apply with retroactive effect to agreements, decisions and concerted practices in existence on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, provided that they meet the conditions for exemption set out in this Regulation.
(8) Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87, this Regulation should also specify the circumstances in which the Commission may withdraw the block exemption in individual cases.
(9) No applications under Articles 3 or 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3975/87 (4) need be made in respect of agreements automatically exempted by this Regulation. However, when real doubt exists, undertakings may request the Commission to declare whether their agreements comply with this Regulation.
(10) The Regulation is without prejudice to the application of Article 86 of the Treaty,
Pursuant to Article 85 (3) of the Treaty and subject to the provisions of this Regulation, it is hereby declared that Article 85 (1) of the Treaty shall not apply to agreements between undertakings in the air transport sector, decisions by associations of such undertakings and concerted practices between such undertakings which have as their purpose one or more of the following:
- joint planning and coordination of the capacity to be provided on scheduled international air services between Community airports,
- sharing of revenue from scheduled international air services between Community airports,
- the holding of consultations for the joint preparation of proposals on tariffs for the carriage of passengers and baggage on scheduled international air services between Community airports,
- slot allocation and airport scheduling in so far as they concern scheduled international air services between airports in the Community.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1) and in particular Articles 13(3), 15(2) and 16(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 establishes basic requirements for the organic production of seaweed and aquaculture animals. Detailed rules for the implementation of those requirements are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2).
(2) In the period between November 2012 and April 2013, certain Member States requested the revision of rules relating to products, substances, feed sources and techniques authorised to be used in organic aquaculture production. Those requests have been evaluated by the expert group for technical advice on organic production (EGTOP) set up by Commission Decision 2009/427/EC (3). Taking into account the EGTOP's opinion, the Commission has identified a need to update and integrate the existing rules for the implementation of the requirements for the organic production of seaweed and aquaculture animals.
(3) Under Article 15(1)(a)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, non-organically produced animals may be brought onto a holding under specific conditions, when young stock from organic broodstock or holdings are not available. Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 lays down the specific restrictions as regards wild caught aquaculture animals, including the collection of wild aquaculture juveniles. Some traditional practices of extensive fish farming in wetlands, such as brackish water ponds, tidal areas and costal lagoons, closed by levees and banks, have existed for centuries and are valuable in terms of cultural heritage, biodiversity conservation and economic perspective for the local communities. Under certain conditions, those practices do not affect the stock status of the species concerned.
(4) Therefore, the collection of wild fry for on-growing purposes in those traditional aquaculture practices is considered to be in line with the objectives, criteria and principles of organic aquaculture production, provided that management measures approved by the relevant authority in charge of the management of the fish stocks in question are in place to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the species concerned, that restocking is in line with those measures, and that the fish are fed exclusively with feed naturally available in the environment.
(5) The EGTOP expressed concern that the sources of feed and additives allowed in organic aquaculture production do not sufficiently meet the dietary requirements of carnivorous fish species. According to Article 15(1)(d)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, animals are to be fed with feed that meets their nutritional requirements at the various stages of their development. Therefore the use of whole fish as a source of feed for carnivorous animals in organic aquaculture should be allowed. However, that should not result in additional pressure on endangered or overfished stocks. For that reason, only fisheries products certified as sustainable by a third party should be used to produce feed for carnivorous animals in organic aquaculture. In that context, the credibility of the sustainability scheme used is important to reassure consumers of the overall sustainability of the organic aquaculture product. Therefore, competent authorities should identify the certification schemes which they consider, in light of the principles of sustainable fisheries laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), adequate to demonstrate the sustainability of fisheries products for use as feed in organic aquaculture. The 2009 FAO's Guidelines for the ecolabelling of fish and fisheries products from marine capture fisheries (5) may be used as a reference when assessing the suitability of certification schemes.
(6) The EGTOP also highlighted the need to provide a sufficient amount of histidine in the diet of salmonid fish, to ensure a high level of animal health and welfare in this species. Taking into account the significant variations in the histidine contents in marine raw materials according to species and season, as well as to the production, processing and storage conditions, the use of histidine produced from fermentation should be allow to ensure that the dietary requirements of salmonid fish are met.
(7) The maximum amount of fishmeal currently allowed in feed for shrimps is not sufficient to meet their dietary needs and should therefore be increased. When needed to meet the quantitative dietary requirements, the supplementation of feed with cholesterol should also be allowed, in line with the recommendations of the EGTOP report. To that aim, organic cholesterol should be used if available. Cholesterol derived from wool, shellfish or other sources may also be used when organic cholesterol is not available.
(8) The exemption provided in paragraph 2 of Article 25k expires on 31 December 2014; that paragraph should therefore be deleted.
(9) In order to ensure compliance with Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 in relation to the rearing of young stock originating from organic broodstock and organic holdings, it is considered necessary, and in line with the EGTOP report, to introduce specific rules for the use of plankton in the feeding of organic juveniles. Plankton is necessary for the rearing of juveniles and it is not produced under organic rules.
(10) The EGTOP also advised to update the list of substances allowed for cleaning and disinfection in organic aquaculture, in particular in relation to the possibility of using some of the substances already listed also in the presence of animals. Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(11) The scope of Annex XIIIa to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, as defined in Article 25f(2), should be more clearly defined, in particular in relation to husbandry practices.
(12) The maximum allowed stocking density for arctic charr should be increased, to better accommodate this species' needs. Maximum stocking densities should also be defined for crayfish. Annex XIIIa to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 25e, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
(a) natural influx of fish or crustacean larvae and juveniles when filling ponds, containment systems and enclosures;
(b) European glass eel, provided that an approved eel management plan is in place for the location and artificial reproduction of eel remains unsolved;
(c) the collection of wild fry of species other than European eel for on-growing in traditional extensive aquaculture farming inside wetlands, such as brackish water ponds, tidal areas and costal lagoons, closed by levees and banks, provided that:
(i) the restocking is in line with management measures approved by the relevant authorities in charge of the management of the fish stocks in question to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the species concerned, and
(ii) the fish are fed exclusively with feed naturally available in the environment.’
(2) in Article 25f, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(3) in Article 25k, paragraph 1, the following point (e) is added:
‘(e) feed products derived from whole fish caught in fisheries certified as sustainable under a scheme recognised by the competent authority in line with the principles laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).
(4) in Article 25k, paragraph 2 is deleted;
(5) in Article 25k, the following paragraph is added:
(6) in Article 25l, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
(a) the feed ration of siamese catfish (Pangasius spp.) as referred to in Section 9 of Annex XIIIa may comprise a maximum of 10 % fishmeal or fish oil derived from sustainable fisheries;
(b) the feed ration of shrimps as referred to in Section 7 of Annex XIIIa may comprise a maximum of 25 % fishmeal and 10 % fish oil derived from sustainable fisheries. In order to secure the quantitative dietary needs of shrimps, organic cholesterol may be used to supplement their diets; where organic cholesterol is not available, non-organic cholesterol derived from wool, shellfish or other sources may be used.’
(7) the following Article 25la is inserted:
(8) in Article 25s, paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
(9) Annexes VII and XIIIa are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply as from 1 January 2015.

of 23 December 1987
instituting a system for the authorization of imports in respect of imports into France of certain kinds of beach slippers, slippers and other indoor footwear
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/82 of 30 June 1982 on common rules for imports from the People's Republic of China (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 of 14 November 1983 on import arrangments for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2273/87 (3), and in particular Article 9 (3) and (4) thereof,
After consultations within the advisory committees set up by the above Regulations,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) By means of Regulation (EEC) No 3667/84 (4), as amended (5), the Commission set up a system for the authorization of import into France for certain kinds of beach slippers, slippers and other indoor footwear of Chinese origin. In so doing the Commission took account of the steps taken by the authorities of the principal exporting country, the People's Republic of China, which subjects the export to France of the product in question to an export certificate in order to contain such exports within certain quantitative limits in 1985, 1986 and 1987.
(2) On 16 July 1987 the Commission was informed by the French authorities that the expiry of the measures in question, due on 31 December 1987, threatened to expose French producers to serious injury once again.
(3) The French request was supported by evidence regarding the trend of imports and the conditions under which they were taking place, in particular with regard to prices. Information had also been supplied ragarding the effects of such imports on the slipper and beach slipper industries.
(4) Having decided, after consultations, that the evidence in its possession was sufficient to justify the initiation of an investigation, the Commission accordingly announced, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (6), the initiation of a Community investigation in respect of imports into France of the products concerned originating in China and commenced the investigation.
(5) The Commission officially informed the importers known to be concerned and gave all parties concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing or to request an oral hearing.
Arguments were presented on behalf of the French producers, notably by the Fédération Nationale de l'Industrie de la Chaussure de France.
(6) China was given an opportunity to make known its views in writing or to request an oral hearing. Non-confidential parts of the report of the investigation were sent to the authorities of the principal exporting country, the People's Republic of China.
(7) In the course of its investigation, the Commission endeavoured to gather and verify all the information it regarded as necessary. It carried out checks at the premises of the following companies:
French producers:
- Ets. Etchandy, Mauléon,
- Aguer & Fils SA, Mauléon,
- Ets Victor, Bayonne.
The following importers were consulted:
- Atlex, Paris
- Borsumij Wehy France, Wissous,
- Chauss-Europe, Le Havre,
- Dresco, Saint-Maur (Paris),
- Interco, Saint-Pierre Montlimart,
- Netter & Cie, Paris,
- Rondinaud, Rivières,
- Savignard, Loudun,
- Sogamax, Ales Cédex.
The importers and their national federation and union were granted a hearing. They were at pains to point out that the Chinese beach slippers and slippers could not compete against the French manufacturers' products as they were not of comparable quality.
(8) Price comparisons made related to the period 1 January to 31 July 1987.
B Products and industries concerned
(9) The products which are the subject of the investigation are, first, slippers and other indoor footwear with textile outer soles falling within heading No ex 64.04 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 64.04-10, and slippers and other indoor footwear with uppers of textile fabric falling within subheading ex 64.02 B of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 64.02-60, and secondly, all types of beach slippers, including those with outer soles with elastomer (beach slippers falling within subheading ex 64.02 B of the Common Customs Tariff, NIMEXE code 64.02-69) and those without elastomer (beach slippers falling within subheading ex 64.04 of the Common Customs Tariff, NIMEXE code ex 64.04-90).
(10) The Commission investigation showed that a distinction should be made between slippers and beach slippers, whether with regard to import trends, prices or the impact of imports on French industry, since slipper producltion and beach slipper production constitute two different industries.
C. Slippers
(11) The investigation showed that slippers originating in China, whether falling within subheading ex 64.02 B of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 64.02-60, or within other headings, generally have textile soles coated with plastic material and that slippers manufactured in France with outer soles of rubber or artificial plastic material are similar to or directly competitive with such products. For that reason, the impact of imports of the slippers in question was gauged in relation to French production of slippers with soles of rubber or artificial plastic material, whether or not the slippers had textile uppers.
(12) Following the implementation in January 1985 of the system instituted by Regulation (EEC) No 3667/84 in respect of slippers originating in China, the level of imports originating in China was 20,9 million pairs lin 1985, 22,8 million pairs in 1986 and 15 million pairs in the first seven months of 1987, which corresponds approximately with lthe export limits decided on by the Chinese authorities. Attention must be drawn, however, to the very strong rise in recent years in imports of unprotected slippers falling within NIMEXE code ex 64.02-60 (up by 195 % in 1986 compared with 1985, and showing a similar trend in 1987).
(13) Resale prices of these imports in France were substantially lower than the prices applied by Community producers; the average price differential varied between 30 % and 70 %, depending on the article.
(14) With regard to the impact of the imports on the French slipper industry, the Commission investigation highlighted the fact that serious economic difficules still existed.
The investigation showed that over the period since 1980 apparent consumption has remained relatively steady, at around 70 million pairs. Production of slippers, after falling since 1980 (51 million pairs) has also stabilized at about 45 million pairs with a peak of 48 million pairs in 1986 due to voluntary restraint on Chinese imports. This held the Chinese share of the French market to 30 %, allowing French manufacturers to diversify and to broaden their producltion towards the middle of the range.
(15) However, the investigation showed that the French producers remained very vulnerable to Chinese competition. The lower end of the slipper market has now been largely taken over by imports from outside the Community, mainly from China. The tendency for the number of people employed to drop (from 11 000 in 1984 to 9 700 in 1987) and the tendency for the number of undertakings to drop (67 in 1983 and 60 in 1986) has not been reversed. In addition, financial results have remained very unsatisfactory despite the protective measures.
Taking into account the still-large market share of Chinese imports (30 %) and given the very low price levels of these imports, it is clear that if the protective measures were discontinued the inevitable result would be a further substantial increase in imports, which would in itself constitute a source of serious injury. D. Beach slippers
(16) The institution in January 1985 of the import system established by Regulation (EEC) No 3667/84 should have reduced imports from China to 3,2 million pairs in 1985, 3,4 million pairs in 1986 and 3,6 million pairs in 1987. Actual imports originating in China exceeded the levels laid down by the Chinese authorities, as communicated to the Commission. As a result, the Commission was forced in 1985 to change the quantitative limits for 1986 and 1987 to 3,15 million pairs and 3,35 million pairs respectively.
Imports of Chinese origin were 3,3 million pairs in 1985, 3,9 million pairs in 1986 and 4 million pairs in 1987 (seven months).
The market share held by Chinese imports, 25 % in 1984, continued to grow in 1985 and 1986, reaching 43 %.
(17) The investigation showed that there was no apparent difference of quality between the Chinese and the French beach slippers. Resale prices of imported beach slippers on the French market were about 60 % below the prices applied by French producers. It should be noted that the cif sale price of Chinese beach slippers in Europe is well below the production cost, barely covering the cost of raw materials.
(18) The investigation showed that French producers of beach slippers were still experiencing economic difficulties.
Indeed, the downward trend in the number of jobs was not reversed: numbers continued to fall, reaching 750 in 1987, which represents a loss of 38 % of jobs in three years; at the same time, the number of producers dropped from 16 firms in 1983 to 11 firms in 1987.
After falling from 14 million pairs in 1979 to 10 million in 1984, French production continued to decline in 1985 (9,8 million pairs), 1986 (9,1 million pairs) and 1987 (an estimated 8,7 million pairs).
(19) It may be considered that the lower end of the beach slipper market has now been taken over by imports from outside the Community, in particular from China. The French producers have responded to Chinese competition by extensive modernization, which has meant diversifying their production in the direction of more expensive articles and boosting exports to a considerable extent.
(20) In the light of the results of the investigation, it is clear that, given the prices charged by the Chinese exporters and their considerable and growing production capacity, failure to maintain protective measures would inevitably result in a further substantial increase in imports, which would in itself constitute a source of serious injury and jeopardize the modernization measures.
E. Protective measures
(21) It emerges from the foregoing that, in the case of both slippers and beach slippers, the abandonment of voluntary restraint would cause serioius injury to the French producers. The adoption of further protective measures for a period of three years is necessary in order to impede as little as possible the smooth development of world trade and to permit the French undertakings concerned to pursue their modernization programmes.
(22) In view of this situation, consultations have taken place between the Commission and the Chinese authorities, in accordance with Article 6 of the Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement (1) concluded between the Community and the People's Republic of China, which is the principal exporting country, in order to find a solution to the problems created by the imports in question.
(23) Following these consultations, and in accordance with the spirit of the abovementioned Article 6, the Chinese authorities notified the Commission of the steps taken by their Government to make export into France of the slippers and beach slippers in question subject to export certificates land also to issue such certificates in such a way as to comply with the following quantitative llimits for exports of the products in question into France during the calendar years 1988, 1986 and 1990.
(1 000 pairs) 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 // // // // // // // // // Description // CCT heading No // NIMEXE code // CN code // 1988 // 19898 // 1990 // // // // // // // // // // Slippers and other indoor footwear // ex 64.04 // ex 64.04-10 // ex 6405 10 90 6405 20 91 ex 6405 90 90 // 25 000 // 25 900 // 26 700 // // // ex 64.02 B // ex 64.02-60 // 6404 19 10 6404 20 10 ex 6405 90 10 // // // // // Beach slippers // ex 64.04 // ex 64.04-90 // ex 6405 10 90 6405 20 99 ex 6405 90 90 // 3 700 // 3 900 // 4 100 // // // ex 64.02 B // ex 64.02-69 // 6404 19 90 ex 6404 20 90 // // // // // // // // // // // //
These quantitative limits are to be increased, where appropriate, by unused quantities carried over from the previous year, or reduced by quantities used in advance from the quantitative limit for the following year.
(24) In view of the measures taken by the Chinese Government it is necessary, in respect of imports of slippers and beach slippers into France, that appropriate verification procedures are set up to ensure that the machinery introduced by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to limit exports is operating properly.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 17 October 2007
setting up the Group of Experts on Trafficking in Human Beings
(2007/675/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) With a view to enhancing the fight against trafficking in human beings at European level and in accordance with the Brussels Declaration (1) (2002) that expressed the need for a group of experts on trafficking in human beings to be set up by the Commission, the group was created with the Commission Decision 2003/209/EC of 25 March 2003. The consultative group is to be known as the ‘Experts Group on Trafficking in Human Beings.’ (2).
(2) The Experts Group on Trafficking in Human Beings was mandated to contribute to the further development of the prevention of and the fight against trafficking in human beings, to enable the Commission to gather opinions in view of Commission initiatives relating to trafficking in human beings and to prepare a report based on the recommendations set out in the Brussels Declaration. The Experts Group in December 2004 submitted the report together with a set of recommendations with a view to launching further concrete proposals at European level.
(3) The Commission Communication of 18 October 2005‘Fighting trafficking in human beings — an integrated approach and proposals for an action plan’ (3) was largely based upon the report and the recommendations developed by the Experts Group. On 1 December 2005, the Council adopted the EU plan on best practices, standards and procedures for combating and preventing trafficking in human beings (4), which reflects a number of suggestions made in the Commission's Communication.
(4) In the light of the valuable work carried out by the Experts Group on Trafficking in Human Beings since 2003 that has enabled the Commission to further develop its policy in the area and taking into account the increasing importance at global level of the policy area of trafficking in human beings, the Group of Experts should continue its work. A new decision is required in order to take account the enlargement of the European Union. The scope of the group of experts should also be extended and should be able to benefit from a wider range of expertise that is demanded by the changing phenomenon of trafficking in human beings.
(5) The Group of Experts should continue to advise the Commission taking into account current developments at European, national and international level. In particular, it should assist the Commission in the implementation and development of actions envisaged in the EU plan on best practices, standards and procedures for combating and preventing trafficking in human beings of December 2005 while paying special attention to the area of labour exploitation.
(6) The Group of Experts should be composed of 21 members representing a balance of representatives of public bodies of EU Member States and non-profit organisations of the European Union, and Europol. Experts from the academic sector and consultancies specialising in the non-profit sector should also be eligible for membership.
(7) The Group of Experts should be able to establish sub-groups in order to facilitate and accelerate its work by focusing on a specific issue. The terms of reference of such sub-groups should be agreed upon by the Group of Experts as a whole and should be clearly defined.
(8) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the Group of Experts should be provided for, without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (5).
(9) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (6).
(10) The term of office of the Members should be three years and should be renewable.
(11) Decision 2003/209/EC should be repealed,

| COMMISSION DECISION of 4 May 1995 on the long-term national aid scheme for agriculture in the northern regions of Finland (Only the Finnish text is authentic) (95/196/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 142 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 of 28 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in certain products listed in Annex II to the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular the last paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 142 of the Act of Accession states that the Commission is to authorize Finland and Sweden to grant long-term national aids with a view to ensuring that agricultural activity is maintained in the northern regions; whereas, in accordance with paragraph 2 of that Article, the Commission is to determine those regions;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the administration of the scheme provided for, when determining those regions, the municipality (kunta) should be chosen as the relevant administrative unit for such determination in line with practice followed in the application of Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (2), as amended by Directive 80/666/EC (3) and Regulation EEC No 797/85 (4), whereas, however, the rural district (maatalouspiiri) of Mikkeli, South Karelia and area 3 as defined in the Finnish system of aid to agriculture based on holding size, in force before accession and within the limits laid down at 31 December 1993, may also be included among the relevant administrative units;
Whereas Article 142 (1) of the Act of Accession stipulates that the regions to be determined should cover agricultural areas situated to the north of the 62nd parallel and some adjacent areas south of that parallel affected by comparable climatic conditions rendering agricultural activity particularly difficult; whereas, when determining those regions, the Commission is to take account in particular of the low population density, the portion of agricultural land in the overall surface area, and the portion of utilized agricultural area given over to arable crops intended for human consumption;
Whereas, where Finland is concerned, the abovementioned factors result in the list of administrative units in subregions C1, C2, C2 North, C3 and C4 laid down in this Decision, which are north of the 62nd parallel or adjacent to the latter, are affected by comparable climatic conditions rendering agricultural activity particularly difficult and have a population density lower than or equal to 10 inhabitants per square kilometer, a utilized agricultural areas (UAA) of less than 10 % of the total area of the municipality and a portion of the UAA devoted to arable crops intended for human consumption less than or equal to 20 %; whereas municipalities surounded by others within such areas should be entered on the list, even where they do not satisfy the same requirements;
Whereas the northern region thus determined represents 1 417 000 hectares (ha) accounting for 55,5 % of the total UAA of Finland;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession, it is for the Commission to define the reference period in relation to which the development of agricultural production and the level of overall support should be considered; whereas, using the national statistics available as a basis, that reference period should cover 1991, 1992 and 1993 as regards agricultural production, with the exception of cow's milk and beef and veal, for which 1992 provides the best basis for fixing the milk quota and the reference herd for Finland, and horticulture, for which 1993 is the year covered by the most reliable statistics; whereas however, 1993 (when prices had not yet been affected by accession) should be used for assessing the level of overall support, where the difference in the price level of support existing between Finland and the Community must be taken into account;
Whereas production figures and support per product in the abovementioned years should be stated;
Whereas on 26 October 1994 Finland presented the aid scheme contemplated to the Commission; whereas it subsequently forwarded additional information and the final version of the aid scheme contemplated on 20 January 1995; whereas the scheme provides for aids applicable to agriculture generally in the regions in question and related to the traditional production model on each holding; whereas it also provides for specific aid payable to the Scolt Lapps, for the reindeer industry and the natural economy of those regions;
Whereas the measures provided for may be authorized as they meet the conditions laid down in Article 142 (3) of the Act; whereas those measures take account of the compensatory allowance, the agrienvironmental aid laid down for the northern regions and the aid provided for under the common organizations of the markets (COM) at a level which should be stated for the sake of transparency; whereas they also take account of the transitional aid granted in accordance with Articles 138, 139 and 140 of the Act of Accession; whereas they are not likely to lead to any increase in overall support or, where they are accompanied by the necessary measures, to any increase in production as compared with the reference period referred to above; whereas, as regards the latter point, a reduction in the aid in the following year in proportion to the overrun in production during the reference period provides a suitable instrument;
Whereas, with regard to the latter, with the exception of cow's milk, where any increase in production is controlled by the quota system provided for under the COM, the aid is not granted on the basis of the quantities produced but on the basis of production factors (livestock units (LU) or ha) within regional limits laid down by this Decision; whereas, in the case of heifers for slaughter, which fall outside the milk production network, the aid is also granted by head;
Whereas the transport aid provided for in this aid scheme may be authorized under the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3); whereas where authorization is granted for any transport aid under a national regional aid scheme, it should be ensured that compensation is not provided twice under the various aid schemes for the same activity;
Whereas those aids meet the objectives set out in the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) of the Act of Accession since they are intended to maintain traditional methods of primary production and processing particularly suited to the climatic conditions of the regions concerned, to improve the structures for the production, marketing and processing of agricultural products, to facilitate the disposal of the said products and to ensure that the environment is protected and the countryside preserved;
Whereas, on that basis, the aid measures in question may be authorized provided, however, they comply with the limits laid down for certain products under the COM;
Whereas the aid scheme proposed provides for aid for horticultural products in the northern regions; whereas aid is also granted for the storage of such products, which is considered in such cases a measure to facilitate the disposal of the products in accordance with the third indent of the third subparagraph of Article 142 (3) of the Act;
Whereas the Commission must be kept informed of the actual trend in market prices in Finland for the horticultural products covered by this Decision in order to verify compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 142 of the Act;
Whereas the aid laid down for the breeding, processing and marketing of reindeer is in acordance with the last paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 827/68,

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 first indent of Article 15(8) and Article 16(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2002 of 20 February 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector (2), the production levies were set as follows:
— for the marketing year 2002/2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1762/2003 (3),
— for the marketing year 2003/2004 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1775/2004 (4),
— for the marketing year 2004/2005 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1686/2005 (5), and
— for the marketing year 2005/2006 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 164/2007 (6).
(2) On 8 May 2008 the Court of Justice of the European Communities delivered its judgment in joined cases C-5/06 and C-23/06 to C-36/06 in which it is stated that Article 15(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is to be interpreted as meaning that all the quantities of exported products which fall under that Article, regardless of whether or not refunds have actually been paid, are to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the estimated average loss per tonne of product. Consequently, the Court declared invalid the Commission Regulations (EC) No 1762/2003 of 7 October 2003 fixing the production levies in the sugar sector for the 2002/2003 marketing year and (EC) No 1775/2004 of 14 October 2004 setting the production levies in the sugar sector for the 2003/2004 marketing year.
(3) Following the same reasoning for the purpose of calculating the estimated average loss per tonne of product within the meaning of Article 15(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, by the Orders of 6 October 2008 in joined cases C-175/07 to C-184/07 as well as in cases C-466/06 and C-200/06, the Court declared invalid the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1686/2005 of 14 October 2005 setting the production levies and the coefficient for the additional levy in the sugar sector for the 2004/2005 marketing year.
(4) The method invalidated by the Court for the marketing years 2002/2003, 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 was also applied for the marketing year 2005/2006. Therefore, new sugar production levies for this marketing year have to be fixed following the new calculation method.
(5) In the judgment of 8 May 2008 in joined cases C-5/06 and C-23/06 to C-36/06, the Court concluded that the examination of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1837/2002 of 15 October 2002 fixing the production levies and the coefficient for the additional levy in the sugar sector for the marketing year 2001/02 (7) had not disclosed the existence of any factors such as to affect its validity. To fix the production levies in that marketing year, the Commission would calculate the average loss on the basis of the total quantities of sugar exported in the form of processed products, whether eligible for refunds or not.
(6) It is therefore appropriate for the Commission to fix the production levies, including where necessary, a coefficient for the additional levy, using the same calculation method as the one used in the marketing year 2001/2002.
(7) Previous estimate of the overall loss recorded for the 2002/2003 marketing year in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, required the calculation of the basic levy and the B levy, as provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article. The basic levy was set at 2 % and the B levy at 19,962 %. At the same time, the overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 was covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic production levy and the B levy, and there was no need to fix the coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation for the 2002/2003 marketing year. The application of the calculation method referred to in recital 5 results in 2 % for the basic levy and 19,958 % for the B levy. The overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic production levy and the B levy. Therefore, there is no need to fix the coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation for the 2002/2003 marketing year.
(8) Previous estimate of the overall loss originally recorded for the 2003/2004 marketing year in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, required the calculation of the basic levy and the B levy, as provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article. The basic levy was set at 2 % and the B levy at 27,050 %. At the same time, the overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 was covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic production levy and the B levy, and there was no need to fix the coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation for the 2003/2004 marketing year. The application of the calculation method referred to in recital 5 results in 2 % for the basic levy and 27,169 % for the B levy. The overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic production levy and the B levy. Therefore, there is no need to fix the coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation for the 2003/2004 marketing year.
(9) For the 2004/2005 marketing year, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1462/2004 of 17 August 2004 revising the maximum amount for the B production levy and amending the minimum price for B beet in the sugar sector for the 2004/05 marketing year (8) increased the maximum amount of the B levy referred to in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar. In that marketing year, the estimate of the overall loss recorded in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 required, the adoption of the maximum amounts of 2 % for the basic levy and 37,5 % for the B levy. The application of the calculation method referred to in recital 5 does not change the basic levy and the B levy for that marketing year. Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that an additional levy is to be charged where the overall loss recorded in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of that Regulation is not fully covered by the proceeds from the basic production levy and the B levy. For the 2004/2005 marketing year, the new calculation method uncovered overall loss amounts to EUR 125 129 948. The coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 should therefore be set. For the purposes of fixing that coefficient, account should be taken of the levies set in excess in the 2003/2004 marketing year, which concerned the Member States of the Community as constituted on 30 April 2004.
(10) Previous estimate of the overall loss recorded in the 2005/2006 marketing year, in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, required the adoption of 1,0022 % for the basic levy, as provided for in paragraph 3 of that Article. At the same time, the overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 was covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic levy, and there was no need to set a B levy or a coefficient establishing an additional levy for the 2005/2006 marketing year. The application of the calculation method referred to in recital 5 results in 0,9706 % for the basic levy without the need for a B levy. The overall loss recorded on the basis of known data and in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is covered in its entirety by the receipts from the basic production levy and there is no need to fix the coefficient referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation.
(11) In view of the above, Regulations (EC) No 1762/2003, (EC) No 1775/2004, (EC) No 1686/2005 and (EC) No 164/2007 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(12) For reasons of legal certainty, the proposed corrections should apply from the dates in which the provisions to be corrected have entered into force.
(13) For reasons of legal certainty and to ensure equal treatment amongst Member States, it is necessary to set a common date upon which the levies corrected in accordance with this Regulation should be established within the meaning of the second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources (9).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments, amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom)(1), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Azores and Madeira and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 (Poseima)(2), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Canary Islands and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (Poseican)(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1922/2002(4), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 21/2002(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2132/2002(6), establishes the forecast supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions under Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001.
(2) The forecast supply balance for breeding cattle (CN code ex 0102 10 ) in the French overseas departments provides for an annual quantity of 400 animals. Information provided by the French authorities shows that this will be insufficient to cover the needs of the overseas departments in 2002. The quantity should therefore be increased by 50 animals for 2002.
(3) Following detection of a material error, the tariff code for frozen carcasses and half-carcasses of meat of domestic swine referred to in Annex II, Part 10 to Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should be corrected.
(4) The forecast supply balance for fresh and chilled meat of bovine animals (CN code 0201 ) in the Canary Islands provides for an annual quantity of 20000 tonnes. Information provided by the Spanish authorities shows that this will be insufficient to cover the needs of the Islands for direct consumption in 2002. The quantity should therefore be increased by 1000 tonnes for 2002. However, the information shows an under-utilisation of the quantity of frozen beef, initially fixed at 16500 tonnes for 2002. As a result, this quantity should be reduced by 1650 tonnes.
(5) The measures laid down in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees for Beef and Veal and Pigmeat,

of 3 April 2012
on monitoring and reporting of data on the registration of new light commercial vehicles pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, Member States must every year record and transmit certain data to the Commission about new light commercial vehicles registered in their territory in the previous year. As those data are to serve as the basis for determining the specific CO2 emissions target for manufacturers of new light commercial vehicles and for the assessment of whether manufacturers comply with those targets, it is necessary to harmonise the rules on the collection and reporting of those data.
(2) To allow for the future inclusion in Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of vehicles in categories M2 and N2 in accordance with Article 13(2) of that Regulation, data for those categories of vehicles should be recorded and transmitted to the Commission.
(3) In order to assess fully whether each manufacturer complies with its specific CO2 emissions target established pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and to gain the necessary experience from the application of that Regulation, the Commission needs detailed data at manufacturer level for each vehicle series defined by type, variant and version. Member States should therefore ensure that such data are recorded and transmitted to the Commission together with the aggregated data in accordance with Article 8(2) of that Regulation.
(4) Pursuant to Articles 18 and 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (2), a manufacturer must ensure that each new light commercial vehicle placed on the market in the Union is accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity and a Member State may not register such a vehicle unless it is accompanied by such a certificate of conformity. Therefore, the certificate of conformity should be the primary source for the information that the Member States are required to record, make available to manufacturers pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and report to the Commission. In certain justified cases, Member States may also use information from sources other than the certificate of conformity, provided that the accuracy of those sources is equivalent to the certificate of conformity and, where necessary, that the Member States concerned put measures in place to guarantee that accuracy.
(5) The data on the registration of new light commercial vehicles should be accurate and should be processed effectively for the purpose of establishing the specific emissions target in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Manufacturers should therefore provide the Commission with up-to-date information on the manufacturers’ names that are used on the certificates of conformity in the different Member States of registration. That information will enable the Commission to provide the Member States with an up-dated list of designated manufacturers’ names which should be used for the purpose of data reporting.
(6) Member States should record and report information about newly registered vehicles that are designed to use alternative fuels. In order to allow the Commission to take into account reductions to the specific emissions target due to the use of ethanol (E85) fuel in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, Member States should provide the Commission with the necessary information, including the proportion of filling stations in their territory and, where applicable, the total number of those which provide ethanol (E85) fuel meeting the sustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (3), and in Article 7b of Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (4).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 modified by Regulation (EEC) No 1247/85 (2) and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas on 30 April 1985 the Irish Government forwarded a modification to its programme relating to the pigmeat sector and related industries approved by Commission Decision 80/408/EEC (3) and on 18 October 1985 supplied additional information;
Whereas the said modification relates to the reorganization, modernization and re-equipment of pig slaughterhouses and processing plants in Ireland, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of the industry and to the development of new techniques, thereby providing breeders with a fair and stable income; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas therefore projects concerning hygiene standards and the environment are eligible for Community aid; whereas on the other hand new or restructured pig slaughtering units must have a minimum throughput after completion of 200 000 pigs per annum and may be aided only if at the same time a certain amount of non-rationalized capacity is closed down and the average rate of slaughtering three years after completion of the project is at least 60 % of the technical capacity calculated on a basis of 1 800 hours of work per annum;
Whereas projects for the installation of cold store facilities may only be aided if the cold store is linked to processing or marketing facilities;
Whereas the modification contains sufficient details required under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the pigmeat sector in Ireland; whereas the schedule for implementation of the modification 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 modification of the programme relating to the pigmeat sector and related industries forwarded by the Irish Government pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 30 April 1985 and supplemented on 18 October 1985 is hereby approved subject to the restrictions set out in the recitals above.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (MRL) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Tulathromycin is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine and porcine species, applicable to muscle, fat (skin and fat for porcine species), liver and kidney, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption. The provisional MRL for that substance set out for bovine and porcine species expires on 1 January 2015.
(4) An application for the extension of the existing entry to ovine species applicable to muscle, fat, liver and kidney has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the extension of the MRL to ovine species and the extrapolation of the MRLs from ovine species to caprine species.
(6) The entry for tulathromycin in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the MRL for ovine and caprine species.
(7) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 April 2015.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kg for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) However in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (4) with effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex are not applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 October 2004.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/628/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies (1), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 12 June 2009 the Commission granted a mandate to the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), whose tasks have been assumed by the European Securities and Markets Authority established on 1 January 2011 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (2) (ESMA), requesting their technical advice with regard to the technical assessment of the legal and supervisory framework of the USA in respect of credit rating agencies.
(2) In its first advice, delivered on 21 May 2010, the CESR highlighted two areas (regarding the quality of methodologies and ratings, and with respect to the disclosure of ratings) where significant differences between the United States (US) and the Union frameworks persisted. Subsequently, following the entry into force of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on 21 July 2010, ESMA has updated its technical advice to the Commission indicating that the US legal and supervisory framework in respect of credit rating agencies could now be considered equivalent to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
(3) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the fulfilment of three conditions needs to be assessed in order to consider a third country legal and supervisory framework equivalent to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
(4) According to the first condition, credit rating agencies in the third country must be subject to authorisation or registration and subject to effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis. The US legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies consists of the Credit Rating Agency Reform Act of 2006 (‘Rating Agency Act’) which seeks to improve the quality of ratings in order to protect investors and in the public interest, by fostering accountability, transparency, and competition in the credit rating industry and Section 15E (3), Section 17 (4) and Section 21B(a) (5) of the Securities Exchange Act (‘Exchange Act’). The operative provisions of the Rating Agency Act became applicable upon the SEC’s adoption in June 2007 of a series of rules implementing a registration and oversight programme for credit rating agencies that register as Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSRO). In order to allow the use of their ratings for regulatory purposes credit rating agencies have to register with the SEC and are subsequently supervised by the SEC on an ongoing basis. The SEC is endowed with a comprehensive range of supervisory powers allowing it to investigate whether credit rating agencies comply with their legal obligations. Those powers include the power to access documents, to conduct investigations and to carry out on-site inspections, as well as the power to require access to records of telephone recordings and electronic communication. The SEC can exercise these powers not only in respect of credit rating agencies, but also in respect of other persons involved in credit rating activities. Section 15E(p)(3)(A) of the Exchange Act requires the SEC to conduct an examination of each NRSRO at least annually and to report on the findings of these examinations (6). Where the SEC has established that an NRSRO is in breach of any obligation arising from the relevant regulatory framework, it may adopt a wide range of supervisory measures in order to stop the infringement. Those measures include the power to withdraw the registration, to suspend the use of ratings for regulatory purposes and to order the credit rating agencies to stop the infringement. The SEC can also impose severe penalties on credit rating agencies for breaches of the relevant requirements. Therefore, NRSROs are subject to effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis. The cooperation agreement concluded between ESMA and the SEC provides for information exchange with regard to enforcement and supervisory measures taken against cross border CRAs.
(5) According to the second condition, credit rating agencies in the third country must be subject to legally binding rules which are equivalent to those set out in Articles 6 to 12 and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. The US legal and supervisory framework meets the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 in respect of the management of conflicts of interest, the organisational processes and procedures that a credit rating agency needs to have in place, the quality of ratings and of rating methodologies, the disclosure of credit ratings and the general and periodic disclosure of credit rating activities. Therefore, the US framework provides for equivalent protection in terms of integrity, transparency, good governance of credit rating agencies and reliability of the credit rating activities.
(6) According to the third condition, the regulatory regime in the third country must prevent interference by the supervisory authorities and other public authorities of that third country with the content of credit ratings and methodologies. In this respect, the SEC and any other public authority in the USA are prohibited by law from interfering with the substance of credit ratings and credit rating methodologies.
(7) In view of the factors examined, the conditions laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 can be considered to be met by the US legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies. Therefore, the US legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies should be considered equivalent to the legal and supervisory framework established by Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. The Commission, in cooperation with ESMA, will continue monitoring the evolution of the US legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies and the fulfilment of the conditions on the basis of which this decision has been taken.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,
For the purposes of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the US legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies shall be considered as equivalent to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage.
(2) Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States in mobilising the funds used to purchase public intervention products are to be financed by the Community at a uniform interest rate.
(3) It may appear that in certain Member States the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate.
(4) Where, in such cases, the average interest rate, in the course of the third month following the reference period used for the establishment of the uniform interest rate by the Commission, is more than twice the uniform interest rate for a given Member State, provision should be made for a correcting mechanism to be applied. This average interest rate should nevertheless be partially borne by the Member State concerned in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 should therefore be amended accordingly.
