| 26.11.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 310/11
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/81/EU
of 25 November 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance 2-phenylphenol
(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) By Commission Directive 2009/160/EU (2) 2-phenylphenol was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE, with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise indoor uses as a post-harvest fungicide in closed drench chambers.
(2) On 18 June 2010 the notifier submitted information on other application techniques, such as wax treatment, dipping treatment and foam curtain treatment, in order to remove the restriction to closed drench chambers.
(3) Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 (3), evaluated the additional information and submitted to the Commission on 30 July 2010 an addendum to the draft assessment report on 2-phenylphenol, which was circulated for comments to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the comments received no major concerns were raised and the other Member States and EFSA did not raise any point which would exclude the extension of the use. The draft assessment report together with that addendum was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 2-phenylphenol.
(4) The new information on the application techniques submitted by the notifier and the new assessment carried out by the rapporteur Member State indicate that plant protection products containing 2-phenylphenol 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 indoor uses as a post-harvest fungicide which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to restrict the use of 2-phenylphenol to closed drench chambers, as laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC as amended by Directive 2009/160/EU.
(5) 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 notifier submit further information to confirm the residue levels occurring as a result of application techniques other than those in drench chambers.
(6) Furthermore, it is also appropriate to require Member States to pay particular attention to the protection of operators and workers and ensure that conditions of use prescribe the application of adequate personal protective equipment.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(8) 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.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 December 2010 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 January 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (3),
Whereas the programmes of the Community for a consumer protection and information policy (4) provided for the establishment of common principles for indicating prices;
Whereas these principles were established by Directive 79/581/EEC (5) and Directive 88/314/EEC (6) concerning the indication of prices of foodstuffs and non-food products;
Whereas these Directives also provided for the obligation to indicate the unit price of products marketed in bulk and of certain pre-packaged products as well as a number of exemptions to this obligation, when products are marketed in ranges of pre-packaged quantities, when this unit-price indication does not provide meaningful information to the consumer or when it represents an excessive burden for certain small retail businesses;
Whereas these Directives provided for a transitional period for implementing exemptions to the indication of the unit price for certain pre-packaged products; whereas this transitional period expired on 7 June 1995;
Whereas, however, application of these Directives has proved extremely complex, in the light of trade practices which vary from one Member State to another;
Whereas account should be taken of all the difficulties encountered in implementing the enacting terms of these Directives and it is appropriate to propose new and simplified enacting terms;
Whereas the Commission should, to this end, submit within the year a proposal for simplified enacting terms, having as its basis the general obligation to indicate the price and unit price of all products;
Whereas, however, these new enacting terms could not be adopted before June 1995;
Whereas it is appropriate to anticipate the period of transposition by Member States of the proposed new enacting terms;
Whereas, accordingly, the transitional period provided for in the first paragraph of Article 10 of Directives 79/581/EEC and 88/314/EEC should be extended by two years,
1. In the first sentence of Article 10 of Directive 79/581/EEC the terms 'a period of seven years` shall be replaced by 'a period of nine years`.
2. In the first sentence of Article 10 of Directive 88/314/EEC the terms 'a period of seven years` shall be replaced by 'a period of nine years`.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
The provisions adopted shall be applicable as of 7 June 1995.
2. When Member States adopt the provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods for making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
3. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the grading of pig carcases is to be determined by estimating the lean meat content by means of statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance is defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) Romania has asked the Commission to authorise two methods of grading pig carcases and has presented the results of its dissection trials in the second part of the protocol provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.
(4) No modification of the apparata or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Romania:
(a) the Fat-O-Meat’er (FOM) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;
(b) the OptiGrade-Pro (OGP) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex.
Modifications of the apparata or the assessment methods shall not be authorised.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 1891/94 (2), and in particular Article 39 (9) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 343/94 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 827/94 (4), opens compulsory distillation of table wine as provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the 1993/94 wine year; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 465/94 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/94 (6), lays down the percentages of table wine production to be delivered for compulsory distillation by each person subject to the obligation;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 12 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 of 17 February 1988 laying down detailed rules for applying compulsory distillation as referred to in Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 822/87 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2587/94 (8), producers are required to deliver table wine to a distillery by 31 July 1994 at the latest;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88, these distillation operations may not take place after the end of the wine year in question;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1892/94 (10), lays down in particular the necessary characteristics of the products that may be distilled;
Whereas, to take account of the Community provisions on concluding long-term storage contracts, as decided by Council Regulation (EC) No 1891/94, the time limits have been extended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1960/94 (11); whereas, however, for reasons peculiar to certain wine-producing regions, it has not been possible to satisfy the delivery obligations by the time-limit laid down; whereas, to avoid penalizing the wine producers concerned too heavily, they should still be permitted to discharge their obligations as regards compulsory distillation for the 1993/94 wine year, with the appropriate penalty measures taken into account; whereas provision should accordingly also be made for the compulsory delivery of the spirits produced to the intervention agency, as well as the maximum time limit for the distillation operations;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products used in animal nutrition (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 84/443/EEC (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Directive 82/471/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of the Annexes thereto as a result of developments in scientific or technical knowledge;
Whereas it is unnecessary to require on the label or packaging of compound feedingstuffs a declaration stating 'by-products from the production of L-glutamic acid' or 'by-products from the production of L-lysine' as the other labelling requirements in respect of those products are sufficient to identify them;
Whereas studies on certain amino acids have shown that these products fulfil the requirements of Directive 82/471/EEC and that their use in animal nutrition may therefore be permitted under certain conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
The Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Article 1 not later than 30 June 1986. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament1;
Whereas the procedure for fixing single prices for oils and fats for the Community should be brought into line with that provided for in other sectors subject to a common price system;
Whereas in the absence of a system for the advance fixing of the levy on olive oil, it is impossible for Community importers and exporters to know the cost price of the product when contracts are being concluded ; whereas this situation could make it more difficult to keep oil supplies in the Community normal ; whereas, consequently, provision should be made for the possibility of fixing the levy on olive oil in advance;
Whereas express provision should be made for the possibility of fixing export refunds on olive oil and oil seeds in advance;
Whereas Article 35 of Regulation No 136/66 EEC2 provides that the descriptions and definitions of olive oil set out in the Annex to that Regulation are applicable for the purposes of intra-Community trade and trade with third countries except for exports to the latter ; whereas it has proved expedient to extend these descriptions and definitions to exports to third countries;
The following two paragraphs shall be substituted for the first paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC:

"1. The levy applicable to an import shall be that in force on the day of importation.
Where imports of the products listed in Article 1 (2) (c) are concerned, however, the levy may be fixed in advance on application by the party concerned under rules to be adopted by the Council acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission.
2. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38."
The following shall be substituted for Article 18 (2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC:
"2. The Council, acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission ; shall adopt general rules concerning the measures referred to in this Article, and in particular rules for granting the refund, for charging the levy, for fixing the amount of the refund and the levy and, where appropriate, for fixing the refund in advance.
3. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38." 1 OJ No C 108, 19.10.1968, p. 46. 2 OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66.
The following shall be substituted for Article 22 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC:
"1. Before 1 August of each year a target price for the Community and a basic intervention price shall be fixed for each species of oil seed.
Subject to the provisions of Article 25, these prices shall remain in force throughout the marketing year beginning in the following calendar year. They shall relate to a standard quality and shall be fixed at the wholesale marketing stage exclusive of taxes.
The prices referred to in the first subparagraph, the intervention centre for which the basic intervention price is calculated, and the standard quality shall be determined by the Council acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty.
The dates on which each marketing year begins and ends shall be determined by the Council acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission."
The following shall be substituted for Article 28 (2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC:
"2. The Council, acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt general rules for granting the refund, for fixing the amount of the refund and, where appropriate, for fixing the refund in advance.
3. Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38."
The following shall be substituted for Article 35 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC:
"Without prejudice to the harmonisation of legislation on olive oil for human consumption, Member States shall, for the purposes of intra-Community trade and trade with third countries, adopt the descriptions and definitions of olive oil set out in the Annex to this Regulation."
The following Article 42a shall be inserted in Regulation No 136/66/EEC:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) 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 VII to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
(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 I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2275/87 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cabbage lettuce are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas cabbage lettuce harvested during a given crop year are marketed from July to June of the following year; whereas the quantities imported from 1 July to 31 October and in June are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 31 May of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1987/88 marketing year, the reference prices for cabbage lettuce falling within subheading 07.01 D I of the Common Customs Tariff, CN 0705 11 10 and 90, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, in Annex I, lists the products for which standards must be adopted; whereas, of the products listed in that Annex, no Community standards have yet been laid down for melons and watermelons; whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down marketing standards for those products; whereas, to that end, for the sake of transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standards recommended for those products by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe;
Whereas application of those standards should have the effect of keeping products of unsatisfactory quality off the market, directing production to meet consumers' requirements and facilitating trade under fair competitive conditions, thereby helping to improve the profitability of production;
Whereas those standards are applicable to all marketing stages; whereas transport over large distances, storage for more than a certain duration and the amount of handling to which products are subject can result in some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the product or its perishable nature; whereas such deterioration should be taken into account in the application of the standards to the marketing stages following consignment;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The marketing standards applicable to:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18(1) and Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provide that a guide price and a Community producer price should be fixed for each fishing year in order to determine price levels for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products.
(2) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the guide price to be fixed for each of the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation.
(3) On the basis of currently available data on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2008 fishing year depending on the species.
(4) Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price to be fixed for the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that and sets conditions under which beneficiary countries of the Union Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) belonging to regional groups I and III may be allowed to use each other’s materials under a specific type of cumulation usually called ‘cross-regional cumulation’.
(2) By letter dated 15 April 2013, Indonesia and Sri Lanka submitted a joint request for cross-regional cumulation pursuant to Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(3) The countries concerned propose that, in order to stimulate trade and contribute to the growth of both economies, the tobacco growing sector of Indonesia be allowed to supply the Sri Lankan cigar manufacturing sector with materials of Indonesian origin that Sri Lanka could use there under cumulation in further working or processing going beyond the operations described in Article 78(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(4) In the request, both countries have undertaken to comply or ensure compliance with the GSP rules of origin and to provide the administrative cooperation necessary to ensure the correct implementation of these rules both with regard to the Union and between themselves.
(5) The request contains a description of the materials to be used under cumulation, which are unmanufactured tobacco and tobacco refuse of Harmonised System (HS) heading 2401, as well as the processing phases and the supporting processes to be carried out in Sri Lanka.
(6) The requesting countries submit that the cross-regional cumulation, if granted, would have positive effects on the economies of both countries and would not affect negatively the sectors of the Union economy involved in cigar production and sale.
(7) The possibility for Sri Lanka to cumulate materials of HS heading 2401 originating in Indonesia should therefore be granted, provided that both countries remain GSP beneficiary countries in the sense of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).
(8) The European Commission will monitor the evolution of the imports resulting from this authorisation and in the light of this monitoring, may reconsider this authorisation based on criteria such as the increase of quantity of imports.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Sri Lanka is hereby entitled to use, in accordance with Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, unmanufactured tobacco and tobacco refuse of HS code 2401 originating in Indonesia under cumulation of origin. In accordance with Article 86(2)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, this entitlement is conditional upon both Sri Lanka and Indonesia remaining at the time of exportation of the product to the Union beneficiary countries in the sense of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1152/2007
of 26 September 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 7(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 (2) sets up the minimum requirement for the protein content of skimmed milk powder bought into intervention at 35,6 % of the non-fatty dry extract. Following the allowance in the Community of standardisation to 34 % of certain dehydrated preserved milk, it is appropriate for the good management of intervention stocks to provide that the intervention quality is fixed at that level. The intervention price of skimmed milk powder, set up in Article 4(1) of that Regulation, should be amended to take into account the new standard for protein content.
(2) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the buying in of butter by the intervention agencies when market prices of butter over two weeks are less than 92 % of the intervention prices. The operation of such arrangement is administratively cumbersome. In the light of the most recent amendments of the intervention system and with a view to simplifying that system, the trigger arrangement should be abolished.
(3) Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that aid for private storage of butter can only be granted on butter classified according to national quality grades. The application of different quality grades in Member States leads to different treatment with respect to the aid. In order to provide for equal treatment and simplify the administration for the aid for private storage, the national quality criteria should be replaced by Community criteria used for other market support.
(4) In accordance with Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, aid for private storage of cream is to be granted as a market support measure. Equally, pursuant to Article 7(3) of that Regulation aid for private storage of skimmed milk powder may be granted. These two support measures have in practice been inactive for a long time, even when there was a serious imbalance on the markets for milk fat and proteins. They may therefore be considered obsolete and should be abolished.
(5) Article 13(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the possibility for military forces to buy butter at reduced prices. However, that provision has not been applied since 1989 and such support scheme is deemed not necessary.
(6) Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 sets up the aid level for milk supplied to pupils in educational establishments and provides for the adaptation of the aid level for other eligible products. With a view to simplify the school milk scheme, while responding to today’s health and nutritional tendencies, a flat rate aid should be set for all categories of milk.
(7) Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the obligatory use of an import licence for all imports of products referred to in Article 1 thereof. Monitoring systems other than the licensing system are now available providing more accurate, updated and transparent information. Where appropriate, such systems should equally be applied for the import of dairy products. The request for an import licence should therefore not be compulsory, whilst the Commission should be empowered to introduce a licensing system when necessary.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 4(1)(b) shall be replaced by the following:
‘(b) skimmed milk powder: 169,80.’.
2. Article 6 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
(b) the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 shall be deleted;
(c) paragraph 3 shall be amended as follows:
(i) the first subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
— unsalted butter produced from cream or milk in an approved undertaking of the Community of a minimum butterfat content, by weight, of 82 %, a maximum milk solids non-fat content, by weight, of 2 % and a maximum water content, by weight, of 16 %,
— salted butter produced from cream or milk in an approved undertaking of the Community of a minimum butterfat content, by weight, of 80 %, a maximum milk solids non-fat content, by weight, of 2 %, a maximum water content, by weight, of 16 % and a maximum salt content, by weight, of 2 %.’;
(ii) the second subparagraph shall be deleted;
(iii) in the fourth and fifth subparagraphs the words ‘cream or’ shall be deleted.
3. Article 7 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
— meets a minimum protein content of 34,0 % by weight of the fat free dry matter,
— meets preservation requirements to be laid down,
— meets conditions to be determined as regards the minimum quantity and packaging.
(b) paragraphs 3 and 5 shall be deleted.
4. Article 10(a) shall be replaced by the following:
‘(a) the detailed rules for the application of this chapter;’.
5. Article 13(1)(b) shall be deleted.
6. Article 14(3) shall be replaced by the following:
— EUR 18,15/100 kg of all milk.
7. Article 26 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 3(a) shall be replaced by the following:
‘(a) the list of products in respect of which export licences are required and the import procedures where no import licences are required;’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008. However, points 1 and 3 of Article 1 shall apply from 1 September 2008.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/53/EC of 13 June 2002 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species(1), and in particular Article 7(2)(a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 72/180/EEC of 14 April 1972 determining the characteristics and minimum conditions for examining varieties of agricultural plant species(2), as amended by Directive 2002/8/EC(3), has established, with a view to official acceptance of the varieties in the Member States' catalogues, the characteristics to be covered as a minimum by the examinations of the various species, as well as the minimum requirements for carrying out the examinations.
(2) Test guidelines relating to the conditions for the examination of the varieties have been issued by the Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1650/2003(5), in respect of certain species.
(3) Test guidelines establishing the conditions for the examinations of the varieties exist at international level. The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) has developed test guidelines.
(4) Directive 72/180/EEC was amended by Directive 2002/8/EC to ensure consistency between the CPVO test guidelines and the conditions for examining the varieties with a view to their acceptance in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States as far as CPVO test guidelines had been established. The CPVO has since issued guidelines for a number of other species.
(5) It is appropriate to ensure consistency between the CPVO test guidelines and the conditions for the varieties with a view to their acceptance into national catalogues of the Member States.
(6) It is appropriate to base the Community system on the UPOV test guidelines, in so far as the CPVO has not yet developed specific guidelines. National law applies for the species not covered by this Directive.
(7) Directive 72/180/EEC should therefore be repealed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Member States shall provide for the inclusion in a national catalogue, within the meaning of Article 3(1) of Directive 2002/53/EC, of varieties of agricultural plant species which fulfil the requirements set out in paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. As regards distinctness, stability and uniformity:
(a) the species listed in Annex I shall comply with the conditions laid down in the "Protocols for distinctness, uniformity and stability tests" of the Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) listed in that Annex;
(b) the species listed in Annex II shall comply with the test guidelines for the conduct of tests for distinctness, uniformity and stability of the International Union for the Protection of new Varieties of Plants (UPOV) listed in that Annex.
3. As regards the value for cultivation or use, the varieties shall comply with the conditions laid down in Annex III, without prejudice to Article 4(2) of the Directive.
All the varietal characteristics within the meaning of Article 1(2)(a), and any characteristics which are marked by an asterisk (*) in the test guidelines referred to in Article 1(2)(b) shall be used, providing that observation of a characteristic is not rendered impossible by the expression of any other characteristics, and providing that the expression of a characteristic is not prevented by the environmental conditions under which the test is conducted.
Member States shall ensure that in respect of the species listed in Annexes I and II, the minimum requirements for carrying out the examinations in respect of trial design and growing conditions, as laid down in the test guidelines referred to in those Annexes, are fulfilled at the time of the examinations.
Directive 72/180/EEC is repealed.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 March 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of domestic law they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
1. Where, on the entry into force of this Directive, varieties have not been accepted for inclusion in the Common Catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species, and official examinations started prior to that date in accordance with the provisions of either
(a) Directive 72/180/EEC or
(b) the CPVO guidelines listed in Annex I or the UPOV guidelines listed in Annex II, according to the species,
the varieties concerned shall be deemed to fulfil the requirements of this Directive.
2. Paragraph 1 shall only apply where the trials lead to the conclusion that the varieties comply with the rules set out in either
(a) Directive 72/180/EEC or
(b) the CPVO guidelines listed in Annex I or the UPOV guidelines listed in Annex II, according to the species.
This Directive shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(88/3/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1) and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas on 27 April 1987 the German Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas on 29 June 1987 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the aim of the programme is to diversify somewhat, outside traditional production of carp and trout, a sector of small importance; whereas investments of approximately 30 million ECU are estimated to be necessary for the completion of the programme;
Whereas, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme meets the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, the implementation of the programme could encounter technical and commercial difficulties inherent in the develpment of new productions;
Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing in a commercial environment, a feature of which is the development of international competition;
Whereas the development of the market for Salmonidae could entail the need to adjust the objectives laid down for the production of trout;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the German Government on 27 April 1987 and as last supplemented on 29 June 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions set out in this Decision.
1. Very great caution must be exercised in the assessment of investment projects for the production of non-traditional species in order to ensure their long-term technical practicability and economic profitability.
2. The programme's objectives concerning the production of trout must be reviewed where major changes take place on the market for Salmonidae.
This Decision is without prejudice to any Community financial aid to individual investment projects.
This Decision is adressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

of 1 September 2004
approving operations to check conformity to the marketing standards applicable to certain fresh fruit carried out in New Zealand prior to import into the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 of 12 June 2001 on checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables (2) lays down the conditions for the approval of checking operations performed by certain third countries which so request prior to import into the Community.
(2) On 30 April 2004, the New Zealand authorities sent the Commission a request for the approval of checking operations performed under the responsibility of the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) for apples, pears and kiwi fruit. Inspections of apples, pears and kiwi fruit, aiming to determine conformity to the marketing standards are undertaken either by Industry Grade Inspection staff who are audited by NZFSA-recognised auditors, or directly by NZFSA-recognised auditors/inspectors. The request submitted by New Zealand states that the aforementioned inspection bodies have the necessary staff, equipment and facilities to carry out checks, that they use methods equivalent to those referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 and that the fresh fruit belonging to the aforementioned species exported from New Zealand to the Community meet the Community marketing standards.
(3) The information sent by the Member States to the Commission shows that, in the period 1997 to 2003, the incidence of non-conformity with marketing standards among imports from New Zealand of fresh fruit and vegetables in general and those species for which the request was submitted in particular was very low.
(4) Representatives of the New Zealand authorities have participated in international efforts to agree marketing standards for fruit and vegetables within the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Moreover, New Zealand participates in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Scheme for the Application of International Standards for Fruit and Vegetables.
(5) Checks on conformity carried out by New Zealand should therefore be approved with effect from the date of implementation of the administrative cooperation procedure provided for in Article 7(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
Checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to apples, pears and kiwi fruit carried out by New Zealand prior to import into the Community are hereby approved in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001.
Details of the official authority and inspection body in New Zealand, as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, are given in Annex I to this Regulation.
The certificates referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, issued following the checks referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, must be drawn up on forms in conformity with the model set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from the date of publication in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union of the notice referred to in Article 7(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, relating to the establishment of administrative cooperation between the Community and New Zealand.

of 15 May 2013
supplementing ITS Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport (1), and in particular Article 3(e) and Article 6(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas
(1) Article 3(e) of Directive 2010/40/EU sets as a priority action the provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles.
(2) Article 6(1) of Directive 2010/40/EU requires the Commission to adopt specifications necessary to ensure compatibility, interoperability and continuity for the deployment and operational use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for information services for safe and secure parking places. This Regulation seeks to optimise the use of parking places and to facilitate drivers’ or transport companies’ decisions about when and where to park by means of deployment of information services.
(3) The Council resolution (2) on combating and preventing road freight crime and providing secure truck parks highlights the need to improve safety and security for truck drivers and parking possibilities.
(4) Mandatory rest periods and breaks may have an influence on drivers’ behaviour with regard to choosing a parking place. The present Regulation seeks to optimise the use of parking places and to facilitate drivers’ or transport companies’ decisions on when and where to park by means of deployment of information services.
(5) In order to ensure the interoperability and continuity of the service throughout the Union as well as to take full account of data protection requirements, it is important that all Member States develop a harmonised and seamless approach towards the provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles across the Union. To this effect, Member States can rely on technical solutions and standards, which shall be provided mainly through European and/or international standardisation organisations and/or associations, in order to ensure interoperability and continuity of the service EU-wide while also taking full account of data protection requirements.
(6) The provision of security and comfort information contributes to the decision drivers make in choosing the parking area. Guidance may be given by displaying the security, safety and services features offered on a parking.
(7) In case of specific persistent heavy demand for safe and secure parking in certain areas, truck drivers should be redirected from a full parking area to another location in the priority zone where free safe and secure places are available in order to avoid unsuitable parking. Therefore, Member States should determine the ‘priority zones’.
(8) If static signs are used to indicate safe and secure parking areas, these should comply with the Vienna Convention of 8 November 1968, where Member States are party to it.
(9) Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the reuse of public sector information (3) (PSI) sets minimum rules for reusing PSI throughout the European Union. It is built around two key pillars of the internal market, namely transparency and fair competition, and encourages Member States to go beyond these minimum rules for the reuse of public sector information and to adopt policies allowing broad use of documents, or data in the context of this Regulation, held by public sector bodies. In some cases the reuse of data will take place without a licence being agreed. In other cases a licence will be issued imposing conditions on the reuse by the licensee and dealing with issues such as liability, the proper use of data, guaranteeing accordance with data protection requirements, non-alteration and the acknowledgement of source. The intellectual property rights of third parties shall not be affected.
(10) Feedback from the users is information that is provided by the parking users in order to give personal and anonymous advice to other future users and to truck parking area operators. This information may be used for a quality management check of the information service as well as for the assessment. The anonymity of the feedback should be guaranteed.
(11) The deployment and use of ITS applications and services might entail the processing of personal data which should be carried out in accordance with Union law, as set out, in particular, in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (4) and in Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (5). Therefore, principles of purpose limitation and data minimisation should be applied to ITS applications.
(12) The deployment and use of ITS applications and services, as set out in specifications adopted in accordance with Article 6 of Directive 2010/40/EU, are addressed in accordance with Union law, including in particular Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products (6) as well as relevant national legislation.
(13) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,
Subject matter and scope
This Regulation establishes the specifications necessary to ensure compatibility, interoperability and continuity for the deployment and operational use of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles on a Union level in accordance with Directive 2010/40/EU.

of 4 June 2008
opening and providing for the management of Community tariff quotas for certain fish and fishery products originating in Montenegro
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 140/2008 of 19 November 2007 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part (the Stabilisation and Association Agreement), was signed in Luxembourg on 15 October 2007. The Stabilisation and Association Agreement is in the process of ratification.
(2) On 15 October 2007 an Interim Agreement was concluded on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part (2) (Interim Agreement), which was approved by Council Decision 2007/855/EC of 15 October 2007 (3). The Interim Agreement provides for the early entry into force of the trade and trade-related provisions of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. It enters into force on 1 January 2008.
(3) The Interim Agreement and the Stabilisation and Association Agreement provide that certain fish and fishery products originating in Montenegro may be imported into the Community, within the limits of Community tariff quotas, at a reduced or a zero-rate customs duty.
(4) The tariff quotas provided for in the Interim Agreement and in the Stabilisation and Association Agreement are annual and have been provided for an indeterminate period. It is necessary to open the Community tariff quotas for 2008 and following years and to provide for a common system for their management.
(5) This common management should ensure that all Community importers have equal and continuous access to the tariff quotas and that the rates laid down for the quotas are applied uninterruptedly to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas will be exhausted. In order to ensure the efficiency of the system, Member States should be authorised to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports. Close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission is required and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly. For reasons of speed and efficiency, communication between the Member States and the Commission should, as far as possible, take place by electronic transmission.
(6) The quotas opened by this Regulation should therefore be managed in accordance with the system for management of tariff preferences within tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations which is laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4).
(7) In accordance with the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and the Interim Agreement, the tariff quotas volumes for prepared or preserved sardines and for prepared or preserved anchovies should from 1 January of the fourth year following the entry into force of the Interim Agreement, be increased to 250 tonnes provided that at least 80 % of the total amount of the previous tariff quota has been used by 31 December of that year. The increased quotas volumes, if implemented, should continue to apply until the parties to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and the Interim Agreement agree other arrangements.
(8) As the Interim Agreement enters into force on 1 January 2008, this Regulation should apply from the same date and should remain in application after the entry into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Fish and fishery products originating in Montenegro and listed in the Annex which are put into free circulation in the Community shall benefit from a reduced or a zero-rate of customs duty, at the levels and within the limits of the annual Community tariff quotas set out in the Annex.
In order to benefit from these preferential rates, those products shall be accompanied by a proof of origin as provided for in Protocol 3 to the Interim Agreement with Montenegro or in Protocol 3 to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Montenegro.
1. The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
2. Communications referring to the management of tariff quotas between the Member States and the Commission shall be effected, as far as possible, by electronic transmission.
1. The tariff quotas for prepared or preserved sardines and for prepared or preserved anchovies referred to in the Annex under order numbers 09.1524 and 09.1525 shall be increased to 250 tonnes from 1 January 2012 for 2012 and the following years.
2. The increase referred to in paragraph 1 may be applied only if at least 80 % of the tariff quotas volumes opened within the previous year have been used in the fourth year following the entry into force of the Interim Agreement.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure compliance with this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 22,346 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 March 2006.

(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 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) contained the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. Commission Directives 2008/78/EC (3) and 2008/79/EC (4) added the active substances propiconazole and IPBC, respectively, for use in products belonging to product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC. By virtue of Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, those substances are therefore approved active substances included in the list referred to in Article 9(2) of that Regulation.
(2) In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, the company Janssen PMP submitted applications to the United Kingdom for authorisation of three wood preservative biocidal products containing IPBC and propiconazole (‘the contested products’). The product authorisations granted by the United Kingdom covered different application methods, including automated dipping for industrial use and spraying (indoors and outdoors) for professional and non-professional use. A number of Member States have subsequently authorised the contested products through mutual recognition.
(3) Janssen PMP (‘the applicant’) submitted complete applications to Germany for mutual recognition of the authorisations of the contested products granted by the United Kingdom.
(4) Germany notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant on 28 August 2013 of its proposal to restrict the authorisations in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany considers that the contested products do not meet the requirements of Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to human health and the environment.
(5) According to Germany, the authorisation of the application method by spraying outdoors was not appropriately assessed by the United Kingdom in terms of environmental risks. The assessment performed by Germany for the three products concluded in unacceptable risks for the distant soil compartment.
(6) Germany also considers that for one of the products, the application by automated dipping should be limited to systems with a sufficiently high degree of automation due to unacceptable risks for the health of professional users.
(7) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notifications in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. Comments were submitted within that deadline by Germany, the United Kingdom and the applicant. The notification was also discussed between the Commission and Member States' Competent Authorities for biocidal products on 24 September 2013 in the meeting of the coordination group established under Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) With regard to the risks for the environment, from those discussions and comments it follows that the conclusions of the environmental assessment carried out by the United Kingdom were based on the relevant scenario of the Series on Emission Scenario Documents of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (5) available at the time of the evaluation.
(9) It also follows that the conclusions from Germany are based on a revised scenario of the OECD Series on Emission Scenario Documents (6), available since the authorisations were granted by the United Kingdom and also since the notification made by Germany.
(10) In addition, according to agreed guidance by the 47th meeting of representatives of Members States Competent Authorities for the implementation of Directive 98/8/EC concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (7), new guidance can only be taken into consideration if it was available before the date of submission of the application for product authorisation, unless scientific progress shows that the reliance on old guidance gives rise to serious concern. This guidance further establishes that a serious concern would trigger revision of existing authorisations. However, neither the United Kingdom nor the other Member States having approved the products through mutual recognition considered that the concern was such as to justify a revision of existing authorisations.
(11) In the light of the above comments, the Commission supports the conclusions of the evaluation carried out by the United Kingdom and the other Member States having approved the products through mutual recognition, considering that the contested products fulfil the requirements set by Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the environment. The Commission therefore considers that the request by Germany to restrict the authorisations cannot be justified on the grounds put forward.
(12) With regard to the application by automated dipping, the Commission considers that the contested product should be subject to the provisions established by a previous Commission Decision (8) addressing the protection of the health of professional users when applying IPBC containing products by this application method. Consequently, the contested product should be authorised subject to instructions on the label restricting the use to fully automated dipping processes and the product authorisation should be amended accordingly.
(13) Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 applies to the contested product in accordance with the provisions of Article 92(2) of that Regulation. Since the legal basis for this Decision is Article 36(3) of that Regulation, this Decision should be addressed to all Member States by virtue of Article 36(4) of that Regulation.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
This Decision applies to products identified by the following application reference numbers in the Reference Member State, as provided for by the Register for Biocidal Products:
2010/2709/7626/UK/AA/8666
2010/2709/8086/UK/AA/9499
2010/2709/7307/UK/AA/8801
The proposal by Germany not to authorise the biocidal products referred to in Article 1 for spraying outdoors, is rejected.
Where used for automated dipping, authorisations of biocidal products identified by the application reference number 2010/2709/7626/UK/AA/8666 shall include a condition that the label of the products contains the following instruction:
‘Product (insert name of the product) must only be used in fully automated dipping processes where all steps in the treatment and drying process are mechanised and no manual handling takes place, including when the treated articles are transported through the dip tank to the draining/drying and storage (if not already surface dry before moving to storage). Where appropriate, the wooden articles to be treated must be fully secured (e.g. via tension belts or clamping devices) prior to treatment and during the dipping process, and must not be manually handled until after the treated articles are surface dry.’

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3925/91 of 19 December 1991 concerning the elimination of controls and formalities applicable to the cabin and hold baggage of persons taking an intra-Community flight and the baggage of persons making an intra-Community sea crossing (1) and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas the elimination of controls and formalities applicable to the cabin and hold baggage of persons taking an intra-Community flight must not become a potential source of fraud; whereas it is important in consequence to avoid all transfers of goods between this baggage and the baggage which must be put under control;
Whereas the baggage of persons who have taken or are going to take a flight which originated in or is going to a third country are subject to the controls applicable to the baggage of persons coming from or going to a third country; whereas specific provisions nevertheless must be made for that part of the flight which is between Community airports;
Whereas specific provisions must be made as regards the place where the controls are applied to cabin and hold baggage of persons making a journey comprising successively an international and an intra-Community flight by different aircraft;
Whereas it is necessary to regulate the specific case of control of baggage of persons originating in a non-Community airport and transferred in an international Community airport to an aircraft going to an international airport situated in the same Member State; whereas the specific case of control of baggage of persons originating in an international Community airport and transferred in an airport situated in the same Member State to an aircraft going to a non-Community airport must also be regulated;
Whereas the arrangements according to which the competent authorities will be able to identify the baggage concerned by the diminuation of controls and formalities must be laid down;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee on the Movement of Air or Sea Passengers' Baggage,
This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 3925/91, hereinafter referred to as 'the basic Regulation'.
1. For the purposes of the basic Regulation and this Regulation, 'baggage' means all objects carried, by whatever means, by the person in the course of his journey.
2. In the case of air travel, baggage shall be considered as:
- hold baggage if it has been checked in at the airport of departure and is not accessible to the person during the flight nor, where relevant, during the stopovers referred to in Articles 3 (1) and (2) and 5 (1) and (2) of the basic Regulation;
- cabin baggage if the person takes it into the cabin of the aircraft.
The Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that:
- on arrival, persons cannot transfer goods before controls have been carried out on the cabin baggage not coverd by Article 1 of the basic Regulation;
- on departure, persons cannot transfer goods after controls have been carried out on the cabin baggage not covered by Article 1 of the basic Regulation;
- on arrival, the appropriate arrangements have been made to prevent any transfer of goods before controls have been carried out on the hold baggage not covered by Article 1 of the basic Regulation;
- on departure, the appropriate arrangements have been made to prevent any transfer of goods after controls have been carried out on the hold baggage not covered by Article 1 of the basic Regulation.
Hold baggage registered in a Community airport shall be identified by a tag affixed in the airport concerned. A specimen tag and the technical characteristics are shown in the Annex
Each Member State shall provide the Commission with a list of airports corresponding to the definition of 'international Community airport' given in Article 2 of the basic Regulation. The Commission shall publish this list in the Official Journal of the European Communities, C Series.
In cases covered by Article 3 (1) of the basic Regulation, baggage shall be subject to the rules applicable to the baggage of persons coming from non-member countries when the person carrying the goods cannot prove the Community status of the goods to the satisfaction of the competent authorities.
In cases covered by Article 3 (2) of the basic Regulation, cabin baggage may be subject to control at the Community airport where the aircraft stops over, in order to ascertain that the goods they contain conform to the conditions for free movement within the Community.
Where baggage arriving at a Community airport on board an aircraft coming from a non-Community airport is transferred at that Community airport, to another aircraft proceeding on an intra-Community flight:
(a) all controls on cabin baggage shall be carried out in the first international Community airport; additional controls may be carried out at the airport of arrival of an intra-Community flight, only in exceptional cases where they prove necessary following controls on hold baggage;
(b) controls on hold baggage may be carried out at the first Community airport only in exceptional cases where they prove necessary following controls on cabin baggage.
Where baggage is loaded at a Community airport onto an aircraft proceeding on an intra-Community flight for transfer at another Community airport, to an aircraft whose destination is a non-Community airport:
(a) all controls on cabin baggage shall be carried out in the last international Community airport; prior controls on such baggage may be carried out in the airport of departure of an intra-Community flight only in exceptional cases where they prove necessary following controls on hold baggage;
(b) additional controls on hold baggage may be carried out in the last Community airport only in exceptional cases where they prove necessary following controls on cabin baggage.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/373/EEC of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Directive 70/373/EEC stipulates that official controls of feedingstuffs for the purpose of checking compliance with the requirements arising under the laws, regulations and administrative provisions governing their quality and composition must be carried out using Community sampling and analysis methods;
Whereas the First Commission Directive 71/250/EEC of 15 June 1971 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (2) as last amended by Directive 81/680/EEC (3) sets out methods of analysis for, inter alia, the determination of lupin alkaloids; whereas Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs (4), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/8/EC (5), does not require that feedingstuffs are officially controlled for the presence of lupin alkaloids; whereas, therefore, a Community method of analysis for the official control of lupin alkaloids is not necessary and it is appropriate to delete this method;
Whereas the Third Commission Directive 72/199/EEC of 27 April 1972 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (6), as last amended by Directive 93/28/EC (7) sets out methods of analysis for, inter alia, the detection and identification of antibiotics of the tetracycline group, the determination of chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline and tetracycline and the determination of oleandomycin; whereas these methods are no longer required for the purposes of Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (8), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/19/EC (9); whereas the methods described are no longer valid in the light of advances in scientific and technical knowledge for use for other purposes; whereas it is therefore appropriate to delete these methods;
Whereas the Fourth Commission Directive 73/46/EEC of 5 December 1972 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (10), as last amended by Directive 92/89/EC (11), sets out methods of analysis for, inter alia, the determination of thiamine (vitamin B1, aneurine) and the determination of ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid (vitamin c); whereas these methods are no longer valid for their intended purpose and have been superseded by advances in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas it is therefore appropriate to delete these methods;
Whereas the Sixth Commission Directive 75/84/EEC of 20 December 1974 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (12), as last amended by Directive 81/680/EEC, sets out methods of analysis for the determination of buquinolate, sulphaquinoxaline and furazolidone; whereas these methods are no longer required for the purposes of Directive 70/524/EEC; whereas there are grounds to assume in the light of advances in scientific and technical knowledge that these methods yield incorrect results; whereas it is preferable to have no method of analysis rather than a method which yields false results; whereas it is therefore appropriate to delete these methods;
Whereas in accordance with Council Directive 95/53/EC of 25 October 1995 fixing the principles governing the organisation of official inspections in the field of animal nutrition (13), and in particular Article 18 thereof, Member States, in the absence of Community methods of sampling and analysis, ensure that methods of analysis are used, complying with standards recognised by international bodies or, in the absence of such standards, complying with scientifically recognised rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
Directive 71/250/EEC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1, 'and the determination of alkaloids in lupins` is deleted;
2. point 15, 'Determination of lupin alkaloids`, in the Annex to the Directive is deleted.
Directive 72/199/EEC is amended as follows:

| COUNCIL DECISION of 21 September 1993 on a Community technology initiative for disabled and elderly people (TIDE) (1993 to 1994)
(93/512/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Council resolution of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Communities, meeting within the Council, of 21 December 1981 on the social integration of handicapped people (4) stresses the importance of promoting the development and availability of technical aids, the pooling of information and experience in the field and the application of new technologies, so as to facilitate the communication, mobility and employment of handicapped people;
Whereas the Commission has carried out the technology initiative for disabled and elderly people (TIDE) pilot action (5) to provide data on the necessity of launching a Community initiative in this field;
Whereas the European Parliament, in its resolution of 17 September 1992 on the TIDE programme (6), called on the Community to launch an initiative for 1993 and 1994 based on the results of the pilot phase of TIDE and further to allocate sufficient resources for such an initiative;
Whereas 10 to 15 % of European people experience the handicapping effects of disability in their daily life and consequently do not enjoy an equal level of personal and socio-economic opportunity;
Whereas old people and particularly very old people constitute a very high proportion of people with disabilities and the proportion of these people will increase substantially in the Community population in the future, with a resulting large increase in the overall cost of care;
Whereas new technologies can offer many opportunities to assist disabled and old people to live more independently, satisfying their aspirations, furthering social and economic cohesion, and helping to contain the cost of care, thereby also greatly benefiting social security systems by reducing the need for expensive residential and nursing care;
Whereas the current market for this technology to assist independent living and socio-economic integration is very fragmented, by technical area, by national regulation, by culture and by impairment, leading to poor provision of technological solutions across the Community and high prices to individends and funding agencies;
Whereas greater and convergent efforts are required to develop further coherence and cost effectiveness in the market for rehabilitation technology, both supporting the interconnection of rehabilitation devices with mainstream technology devices and progressively improving access to mainstream technology for disabled and elderly citizens;
Whereas an initiative at Community level, in accordance with the prinicple of subsidiarity, is justified in terms of added value, by bringing together and developing expertise in Member States, thus avoiding duplication of efforts, and in terms of scale and whereas the arguments on coordination of effort at industrial level and lack of technological development and standardization, provide justification for Community action in terms of the effect of stimulation of the internal market in rehabilitation technology and of the improvement of the basis for the international competitiveness of the European rehabilitation technology industry;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 130a of the Treaty, in order to promote its overall harmonious development, the Community is to develop and pursue its actions leading to the strengthening of its economic and social cohesion;
Whereas a committee should be set up to assist the Commission in carrying out the responsibilities conferred on it by this Decision;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide for the adoption of this Decision powers other than those of Article 235,
A Community initiative for rehabilitation technology for disabled and elderly people, referred to as the 'TIDE (technology initiative for disabled and elderly people) initiative', hereafter referred to as the 'Initiative' as defined in Annex I, is hereby adopted for a period starting on the date of adoption of this Decision and ending on 31 December 1994.
1. The funds estimated as necessary for the execution of the initiative amount to ECU 30 million including expenditure on staff and administraton amounting to a maximum of ECU 3,3 million.
2. An indicative breakdown of funds is set out in Annex II.
3. In December 1993 the Commission will submit a report to the Council on the proposals received and the quality thereof. If it transpires that the Management Committee has received many high-quality proposals which have had to be rejected for lack of funds, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will review the total amount, with the possibility of increasing it to ECU 35 million.
Detailed rules for the implementation of the initiative and the rate of the Community's financial contribution are set out in Annex III.
1. At the end of the initiative, an evaluation of the results achieved shall be conducted for the Commission by a group of independent experts. This group's report, together with any comments by the Commission, shall be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council.
2. The report referred to in paragraph 1 shall be established having regard to the objectives set out in Annex I to this Decision.
1. The Commission shall be responsible for the implementation of the initiative.
2. Contracts concluded by the Commission shall govern the rights and obligations of each party, in particular the arrangements for the dissemination, protection and exploitation of results.
3. A work programme shall be drawn up in accordance with the objectives set out in Annex I and updated where necessary. It shall set out the detailed objectives and types of projects to be undertaken, and the financial arrangements to be made for them. The Commission shall make calls for proposals for projects on the basis of the work programme.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by a committee composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft, within a time limit which the Chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The Chairman shall not vote.
3. The Commission shall adopt measures which shall apply immediately. However, if these measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, they shall be communicated by the Commission to the Council forthwith.
4. In the case referred to in the second sentence of paragraph 3, the Commission shall defer application of the measures which it has decided for a period of one month from the date of such communication.
5. The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within the time limit referred to in the previous paragraph.
With respect to the implementation of the initiative, the procedure referred to in Article 6 shall apply in particular to:
- priorities for the work programme referred to in Article 5 (3),
contents of calls for proposals,
- criteria for selecting projects and contractors,
- assessment of projects, and estimated amount of the Community's contribution to them,

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 2 May 2013
on temporary measures relating to the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus
(ECB/2013/13)
(2013/220/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1, Article 12.1, Article 18 and the second indent of Article 34.1,
Having regard to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1), and in particular Section 1.6 and Sections 6.3.1, 6.3.2 and 6.4.2 of Annex I thereof,
Having regard to Guideline ECB/2013/4 of 20 March 2013 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral (2), and in particular Article 1(3) and Articles 5 and 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (NCBs) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The standard criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.
(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.
(3) Marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus currently do not meet the Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds applicable to marketable debt instruments, as established in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.
(4) The Governing Council has taken into consideration the Memorandum of Understanding concluded between the Republic of Cyprus and the European Commission and endorsed by the Member States, reflecting the economic and financial adjustment programme for Cyprus.
(5) The Governing Council considers this programme to be appropriate, so that the marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus have a quality standard sufficient to warrant their eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of any external credit assessment.
(6) The Governing Council has therefore decided that the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus must be restored for the Eurosystem’s monetary policy operations, subject to applying specific haircuts to such instruments different from those provided for in Section 6.4.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.
(7) Under Article 7 of Guideline ECB/2013/4, the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold shall not apply to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the central governments of euro area Member States under a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme, unless the Governing Council decides that the respective Member State does not comply with the conditionality of the financial support and/or the macroeconomic programme. However, under Article 1(3) of the same Guideline, for the purposes of its Article 5(1) and Article 7, only Ireland, the Hellenic Republic and the Portuguese Republic are considered euro area Member States compliant with a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme. Therefore an additional Governing Council decision is required to waive the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus.
(8) This exceptional measure will apply temporarily until the Governing Council considers that the normal application of the Eurosystem’s eligibility criteria and risk control framework for monetary policy operations can be reintroduced,
Suspension of certain provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus
1. The Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality, as specified in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework rules for certain marketable assets in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus. Hence, for the purposes of Article 5(1) and Article 7 of Guideline ECB/2013/4, the Republic of Cyprus shall be considered a euro area Member State compliant with a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme.
2. Marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus shall be subject to the specific haircuts set out in the Annex to this Decision.
3. In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision, Guideline ECB/2011/14 and Guideline ECB/2013/4, in each case as implemented at national level by the NCBs, this Decision shall prevail.
Entry into force
This Decision shall enter into force on 9 May 2013. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2490/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1589/96 (4), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3491/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (5), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3492/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part (6), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1926/96 of 7 October 1996 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the agreements on free trade and trade-related matters with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (11), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas under the Agreement on Agriculture concluded in the framework of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (12), the Community has undertaken to open a non-country-specific tariff quota; whereas the Europe Agreements concluded between the Community and the countries of central Europe allow additional preferential access to the Community market;
Whereas, moreover, the Community has established a tariff quota for imports of sheepmeat and goatmeat from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 1926/96;
Whereas the tariff quotas have to be opened for 1997 by the Commission and be managed according to the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 (13), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2526/95 (14);
Whereas a carcase-weight equivalent needs to be fixed in order to ensure a proper functioning of the tariff quotas; whereas, furthermore, certain tariff quotas provide the option of importing either the live animals or their meat; whereas a conversion factor is therefore required;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 provided in particular for a reduction in duty and increases in certain import quotas from the Associated Countries of Eastern Europe; whereas it also provided for the importation of pure-bred breeding goats falling within CN code 0104 20 10 within the tariff quotas for Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria;
Whereas the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 have been extended until 31 December 1997 by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2490/96;
Whereas this extension should be incorporated into Regulation (EC) No 1439/95;
Whereas, since the extension of the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 is valid only for one year, it is necessary to derogate for the period from certain detailed rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1439/95;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
This Regulation opens Community tariff quotas for the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors and provides for certain derogations from Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 for the period 1 January to 31 December 1997.
The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90 and 0204 originating in the countries indicated in the Annexes and of live pure-bred breeding goats falling within CN code 0104 20 10 for Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria shall be suspended or reduced during the periods, at the levels and within the limits of the tariff quotas laid down in this Regulation.
1. The quantities of meat, expressed in carcase weight equivalent, falling within CN code 0204 for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in specific supplying countries, is suspended for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1997, shall be those laid down in Annex I.
2. The quantities of live animals and meat expressed as carcase weight equivalent, falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90 and 0204 and, in addition, for Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria falling within CN code 0104 20 10, for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in specific supplying countries, is reduced to zero for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1997, shall be those laid down in Annex II.
3. The quantities of live animals, expressed in live weight, falling under CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80 and 0104 20 90 for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in specific supplying countries, is reduced to 10 % ad valorem for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1997, shall be those laid down in Annex III.
4. The quantities of live animals, expressed in live weight, falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80 and 0104 20 90 for which the customs duty, applicable to imports, is reduced to 10 % ad valorem for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1997, shall be those laid down in Annex IV, Part A.
5. The quantities of meat, expressed in carcase weight equivalent, falling within CN code 0204 for which the customs duty, applicable to imports, is suspended for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1997, shall be those laid down in Annex IV, Part B.
1. The tariff quotas provided for Article 3 (1), (2) and (3) shall be managed in accordance with the rules laid down in Title II A of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95.
2. The tariff quotas provided for Article 3 (4) and (5) shall be managed in accordance with the rules laid down in Title II B of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95.
1. The term 'carcase weight equivalent` referred to in Article 2 shall be taken to mean the weight of bone-in meat presented as such, and also boned meat converted by a coefficient into bone-in weight. For this purpose 55 kilograms of boned mutton or goatmeat other than kid corresponds to 100 kilograms of bone-in mutton or goatmeat other than kid and 60 kilograms of boned lamb or kid corresponds to 100 kilograms of bone-in lamb or kid.
2. Where the option is available under the Association Agreements between the Community and certain supplier countries, of allowing imports in the form of live animals or as meat, 100 kilograms of live animals shall be considered to be equivalent to 47 kilograms of meat.
The derogations from Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 are as follows:
1. Title II A shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of the import of products falling within CN code 0104 20 10 for Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas a feature of the Community market for apples, pears, peaches and nectarines is a certain mismatch between supply and demand; whereas this situation justifies the re-introduction and extension to pears of the measures to improve Community production introduced for the 1990/91 to 1994/95 marketing years as regards apples and for the 1995 marketing year as regards peaches and nectarines;
Whereas the areas benefiting from this operation should be limited and the least productive orchards should be excluded from it; whereas these areas should be apportioned between the Member States on the basis of the orchard area, production and withdrawals of each Member State; whereas it should be possible to amend this apportionment to optimize the area grubbed up; whereas it is also necessary to allow the Member States to decide on the regions and conditions under which this operation shall apply so that its introduction does not disturb the economic and ecological balance of certain regions;
Whereas the premium, to be paid once only, must be established by taking account of both the cost of grubbing-up and the producer's loss of income;
Whereas the aim of the grubbing-up premium is to achieve the objectives laid down in Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas provision should be made for the measure to be financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF),
1. Apple, pear, peach and nectarine producers in the Community shall qualify, on application and under the conditions laid down in this Regulation, for a premium for the 1997/1998 marketing year, to be paid once only for the grubbing-up for apple trees other than cider apple trees, pear trees other than perry pear trees, peach trees and nectarine trees.
2. The premium shall be granted for the grubbing-up of a maximum surface area of 10 000 hectares for each group of products, apples and pears on the one hand, peaches and nectarines on the other hand, divided as follows.
>TABLE>
The above allocation may be amended by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6 to optimize the area qualifying for a grubbing-up premium, within the maximum surface area limit laid down in the first subparagraph above.
3. The Member States:
- shall designate the regions in which the grubbing-up premium is to be granted on the basis of economic and ecological criteria,
- shall lay down conditions ensuring in particular the economic and ecological balance of the regions concerned,
- may designate priority producer categories on the basis of objective criteria drawn up in agreement with the Commission.
They shall notify these regions, conditions and, where appropriate, categories to the Commission once adopted or designated.
A Member State need not designate a region. In such case, it shall inform the Commission thereof within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation.
1. The premium shall be granted subject to a written undertaking by the recipient:
(a) to grub-up or have grubbed-up, at one time, before a date laid down in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6, all or part of his apple, pear, peach or nectarine orchard, the grubbed-up area being at least 0,5 of a hectare for apple and pear trees and at least 0,4 of a hectare for peach and nectarine trees;
(b) to refrain from planting apple, pear, peach or nectarine trees, in accordance with the provisions laid down by the procedure referred to in Article 6.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, and for each of the two product groups referred to in Article 1 (2), 'orchard` means all planted parcels on the holding with a density of 300 trees per hectare or more. However, this minimum density shall be reduced to 150 trees per hectare for parcels planted with apple trees of the Annurca variety.
The grubbing-up premium shall be fixed taking account in particular of the grubbing-up costs and the loss of income to producers carrying out grubbing-up operations.
The Member States shall check whether recipients of the grubbing-up premium have fulfilled the undertakings laid down in Article 2. They shall take any further measures in particular to ensure compliance with the provisions of this scheme. They shall inform the Commission of the measures taken.
The measures provided for in this Regulation shall be deemed intervention intended to stabilize the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of the Council of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3). They shall be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
The grubbing-up premium shall be determined and the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 46 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (4).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2178/2001 suspending the buying-in of butter in certain Member States(5) establishes the most recent list of Member States in which intervention is suspended.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Consent has been granted on 22 April 1998 for the placing on the market of grains of genetically modified maize line Bt11 to be used for feed, processing and importing (2), in accordance with Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (3).
(2) Food and food ingredients derived from the original transformant Bt11 and any inbred and hybrid lines derived from it and containing the introduced genes may be placed on the market in the Community following a notification (4) pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(3) On 11 February 1999, Novartis (in the meantime: Syngenta), submitted a request to the competent authorities of the Netherlands for placing sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11 on the market as a novel food or as a novel food ingredient.
(4) In their initial assessment report of 12 May 2000, the Netherlands’ competent food assessment body came to the conclusion that Bt11 sweet maize is as safe as conventional sweet maize.
(5) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 15 June 2000. Within the 60 days period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(6) On 13 December 2000, the Commission requested an opinion from the Scientific Committee on Food, in accordance with Article 11 of the Regulation. On 17 April 2002, the Scientific Committee on Food delivered its opinion that Bt11 sweet maize is as safe for human food use as its conventional counterparts. This opinion focused, as requested by the Commission, on the issues raised in the comments made by Member States’ authorities, including molecular characterisation and toxicity studies. The concerns raised in the opinion of the ‘Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments’ (AFSSA) of 26 November 2003 do not bring any new scientific elements in addition to the initial assessment of sweet maize Bt11.
(7) The data provided by the applicant and the safety assessment of the product carried out followed the criteria and requirements laid down in the Commission Recommendation 618/97/EC (5) concerning the scientific aspects and the presentation of applications under the Novel Food Regulation. The methodology used for the safety assessment of Bt11 was also in line with the recent guidelines prepared by the Scientific Steering Committee concerning the assessment of GMOs, GM food and GM feed and with the Codex Principles and Guidelines on Foods Derived from Biotechnology.
(8) Article 46(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (6) provides that requests submitted under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 before the date of application of this Regulation shall be processed under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 258/97, notwithstanding Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, in cases where the additional assessment report required in accordance with Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 has been transmitted to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(9) The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, in collaboration with the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL), has carried out a full validation study (ring-trial) following internationally accepted guidelines to test the performance of a quantitative event-specific method to detect and quantify the Bt11 transformation event in sweet maize. The method validated had been developed by the National Veterinary Institute of Norway and INRA, France. The materials needed in the study (GM and non-GM DNA as well as the method-specific reagents) had been provided by Syngenta. The JRC has considered that the method performance was appropriate for its aimed purpose, taken into account the performance criteria proposed by the ENGL for methods submitted for regulatory compliance as well as the current scientific understanding about satisfactory method performance. Both the method and the results of the validation have been made publicly available.
(10) Reference material for sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11 has been produced by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission.
(11) Sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11 and food containing sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11 as ingredient shall be labelled in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and shall be subject to the traceability requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (7).
(12) Information on the identification of sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11, including the validated detection method and the reference material, contained in the annex, shall be retrievable from the Register to be established by the Commission in accordance with Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(13) Genetically modified maize Bt11 has been notified to the Biosafety Clearing-House, pursuant to Articles 11(1) and 20(3)(c) of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
(14) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not given an opinion; the Commission has therefore submitted a proposal to the Council on 4 February 2004 pursuant to Article 13(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 and in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 4 of the Council Decision 1999/468/EC (8), the Council being required to act within three months.
(15) However, the Council has not acted within the required time limit; a Decision should now be adopted by the Commission,
Sweet maize from genetically modified maize line Bt11 (hereinafter referred to as the product), as designated and specified in the Annex, may be placed on the Community market as a novel food or novel food ingredient.
The product shall be labelled as ‘genetically modified sweet maize’, in accordance with the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
The product and the information included in the Annex shall be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed.
This Decision is addressed to Syngenta Seeds BV, Westeinde 62, 1600 AA Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, representing Syngenta Seeds AG, Switzerland. It shall be valid for a period of 10 years. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 5 September 2007
setting up the stakeholder dialogue group in the areas of public health and consumer protection
(2007/602/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) Article 153 of the Treaty assigns the Community the task of ensuring a high level of consumer protection, as well as promoting their right to information and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests. In addition, consumer protection requirements are to be taken into account in defining and implementing other Community policies and activities.
(2) In accordance with Protocol (No 30) on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality (1997) (1), the Commission should consult widely before proposing legislation.
(3) The Commission undertook, in its White Paper on European Governance (2), to help reinforcing the culture of consultation and dialogue in the Community.
(4) The Communication from the Commission entitled: Follow-up to the Green Paper ‘European Transparency Initiative’ (3) announced the intention to raise further the general level of quality of Commission's consultations.
(5) With a view to advising the Commission on improving the stakeholder consultation process in the areas of public health and consumer protection, the Commission may need to call upon the expertise of specialists in an advisory body.
(6) It is therefore necessary to set up a stakeholder dialogue group in the areas of public health and consumer protection and to define its tasks and its structure.
(7) The stakeholder dialogue group should advise the Commission on best practice in the consultation process and also help it to better tailor its stakeholder involvement processes to stakeholders' needs in the areas of public health and consumer protection.
(8) The stakeholder dialogue group should be composed of a balanced representation of stakeholders, from both industry (federations and individual companies) and non-governmental organisations, concerned by the different policy areas covered by the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection.
(9) Members of the stakeholder dialogue group should be appointed in such a way as to secure the highest standards of competence, a broad range of relevant expertise and, consistent with these criteria, the broadest possible geographic distribution within the Community, as well as a gender balance.
(10) Rules on the disclosure of information by members of the stakeholder dialogue group should be provided for in this Decision. Such rules should be without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom of 29 November 2001 amending its internal Rules of Procedure (4).
(11) Personal data relating to members of the stakeholder dialogue 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 (5),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (3) provides for an intervention system for certain types of cheeses; whereas experience has shown that the buying in of such cheeses is not an appropriate means of stabilizing the market, given their limited preservation time and the absence of disposal opportunities; whereas, however, market stabilization may be achieved through private storage aid for such cheeses;
Whereas account should be taken also of trends in the milk products market and of changes in the intervention systems in force for several years for butter and skimmed-milk powder; whereas the system of buying in in respect of Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses should therefore be abolished; whereas general rules concerning the granting of private storage aid should, moreover, be incorporated in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 and to repeal Council Regulation (EEC) No 971/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses (4),
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 5 is replaced by the following:
'Article 5
Each year at the same time as the target price for milk, and in accordance with the same procedure, an intervention price for butter and for skimmed-milk powder shall be fixed.'
2. Article 8 is replaced by the following:
'Article 8
1. Under conditions to be determined, aid shall be granted for the private storage of:
(a) Grana Padano cheese at least nine months old;
(b) Parmigiano Reggiano cheese at least 15 months old;
(c) Provolone cheese at least three months old;
if these cheeses reach certain standards.
2. The amount of private storage aid shall be fixed taking account of storage costs and the likely trend of market prices.
3. The intervention agency designated by the Member State in which the said cheeses are produced and qualify to bear the designation of origin shall implement the measures taken pursuant to paragraph 1.
The granting of private storage aid shall be subject to the conclusion of a storage contract with the intervention agency. The contract shall be drawn up under conditions to be determined.
Where the market situation so requires, the Commission may decide, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30, that the intervention agency will remarket some or all of the cheese stored.
4. Detailed rules for the application of this Article, and in particular the amount of aid and the provisions concerning the storage contract and inspection of storage operations, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30.'
Regulation (EEC) No 971/68 is hereby repealed. However, it shall continue to apply in respect of the marketing of quantities purchased prior to the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
