| COUNCIL DECISION of 5 June 1998 concerning the Community contribution to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the Chernobyl Shelter Fund (98/381/EC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on 21 December 1995 between the governments of the G7 countries and the Commission of the European Communities and the government of Ukraine on the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by the year 2000;
Whereas Article III(4) of the MOU provided that Ukraine and the G7 will continue to cooperate in the development of a cost effective and environmentally sound approach to the shelter for Chernobyl IV, including the definition, as soon as possible, of technical and cost options as the basis for reviewing financial requirements;
Whereas the Commission, through the TACIS programme, participated actively in the development of such an approach which resulted in the definition of the 'shelter implementation plan` (SIP) endorsed by the Ukrainian authorities;
Whereas at their Denver Summit of June 1997, the G7 Heads of State and Government and the President of the European Commission decided to add to the commitments undertaken in the MOU with Ukraine and endorsed the setting up of a multilateral funding mechanism to assist Ukraine in transforming the existing Chernobyl sarcophagus into a safe and environmentally stable system, with measures as described in the SIP;
Whereas the implementation of the SIP will be placed in the context of the MOU between the G7 and Ukraine on the closure of Chernobyl by the year 2000;
Whereas, for the purpose of implementing the SIP, the Chernobyl Shelter Fund has been established at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and will be administered by the EBRD;
Whereas the Community pursues a clear policy of supporting Ukraine in its efforts to eliminate the consequences of the nuclear accident which occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and is thus willing to contribute to the Chernobyl Shelter Fund; whereas the Community assumes through its contribution no liability whatsoever for any resulting damage;
Whereas due account will be taken by the Fund of the fulfilment by Ukraine of its undertakings under the Framework Agreement, signed with the EBRD on 20 November 1997;
Whereas a financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995, is included in this Decision for the entire duration of the programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty;
Whereas the contribution will be taken from existing TACIS credits and will thus not imply any supplementary budgetary expenditures from the 1998 and 1999 budgets;
Whereas EBRD procurement policies and rules will apply to grants made from the resources of the Chernobyl Shelter Fund, with the understanding that procurement shall in principle be limited to goods and services produced in or supplied from the countries of the contributors or the countries of EBRD operations; whereas these rules are not identical to those applied for operations directly financed through the TACIS programme, which can notably for this reason not cover the present contribution;
Whereas it is however appropriate to ensure that no discrimination is made between operators of individual Member States of the European Community with regard to procurement arrangements relating to grants made from the Chernobyl Shelter Fund, irrespective of whether the Member States have concluded individual agreements with the EBRD or not;
Whereas the Community contribution to the Chernobyl Shelter Fund with the EBRD shall be administered by the European Commission in accordance with the principles of sound and efficient management;
Whereas this contribution will contribute to the achievement of the Community's objectives in particular in relation to nuclear safety; whereas the Treaties do not provide for the adoption of this Decision powers other than those of Article 235 of the EC Treaty and 203 of the EAEC Treaty,
1. The Community shall contribute to the Chernobyl Shelter Fund at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), in accordance with the rules of this Fund, an amount of up to ECU 100 million to be paid over the two years 1998 and 1999.
2. This contribution to the Fund shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) in force, with particular regard for the principles of sound and efficient management.
3. The Commission will take all necessary steps to ensure that, with respect to procurement arrangements relating to grants made from the resources of the Fund, no discrimination is made between operators of individual Member States.
1. The financial reference amount for the implementation of this programme for the period 1998 and 1999 shall be a maximum of ECU 100 million.
2. The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
1. The Commission will forward all relevant information to the Court of Auditors and will request from the EBRD any supplementary information that the Court of Auditors may wish to receive, as regards the financial operation of the Chernobyl Shelter Fund to the extent that it is related to the Community's contribution.
2. The Commission shall submit, on a yearly basis, a progress report on the implementation of the Chernobyl Shelter Fund to the European Parliament and the Council. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2007/268/EC (3) lays down guidelines for the performance of the surveillance programmes for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds to be carried out by the Member States. Those guidelines include provisions on the submission of laboratory results to the Community Reference Laboratory for avian influenza.

(b) in Part B, point 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. Specific protocols to accompany the sending of samples and diagnostic material to the CRL shall be provided by the CRL. A good exchange of information between the CRL and the NL must be ensured. The CRL shall provide technical support and keep an enlarged stock of diagnostic reagents.’
(c) in Part D, point 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. All positive serological findings shall be confirmed by the NL by a haemagglutination-inhibition test, using designated strains supplied by the CRL:
(a) for
H5
subtype:
(i) Initial testing using teal/England/7894/06 (H5N3);
(ii) Testing of all positives with chicken/Scotland/59(H5N1) to eliminate N3 cross reactive antibodies
(b) for
H7
subtype:
(i) Initial testing using Turkey/England/647/77 (H7N7);
(ii) Testing of all positive with African Starling/983/79 (H7N1) to eliminate N7 cross reactive antibodies.’;

Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of bupirimate.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to the Netherlands, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The Netherlands evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 26 November 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on bupirimate to the Commission on 20 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for bupirimate.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing bupirimate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include bupirimate in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information to confirm the soil degradation, the kinetic parameters, the adsorption and the desorption parameter for the major soil metabolite de-ethyl-bupirimate (DE-B).
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing bupirimate to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of bupirimate and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning bupirimate in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
The line concerning bupirimate in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing bupirimate as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to bupirimate are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing bupirimate as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning bupirimate. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing bupirimate as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing bupirimate as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1538/95 (2), and in particular Article 15 (4) thereof,
Whereas, from 1 July 1995, Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 subjects imports of one or more of the products covered by the said Regulation to the payment of an additional duty where certain conditions resulting from the Agreement on Agriculture concluded in connection with the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations are met, unless the import are unlikely to disturb the Community market, or where the effects would be disproportionate to the intended objective, whereas such additional import duties may in particular be imposed if import prices are below the trigger prices;
Whereas detailed rules for the application of this system should therefore be laid down for the milk and milk products sectors and the trigger prices should be published;
Whereas the import prices to be taken into consideration for charging an additional import duty should be checked on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product; whereas it should be laid down that the Member States are to transmit prices at the various marketing stages at regular intervals to enable the Commission to fix the representative prices and the corresponding additional duties;
Whereas the importer has the possibility of opting for the additional duty to be calculated on a basis other than the representative price; whereas, however, in such case provision should be made for the lodging of a security equal to the additional duties which he would have paid if the calculation had been based on the representative prices; whereas the security should be released if proof is furnished within a specified time limit that the conditions have been met for disposal of the consignment in question; whereas in connection with a posteriori checks it should be specified that duties payable are subject to recovery in accordance with Article 220 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3), whereas it is also equitable to lay down that, in connection with all checks, duties payable are subjet to interest;
Whereas it emerges from the regular monitoring of the data on which the checking of import prices for milk and milk products is based that imports of certain products should be subjected to additional duties taking account of variations in prices according to origin; whereas the prices should therefore be published;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. The additional import duties referred to in Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, hereinafter referred to as 'additional duties` shall apply to the products listed in the Annex hereto.
2. The trigger prices referred to in Article 15 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be those shown in the Annex hereto.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, representative price shall mean the price established in accordance with Article 2.
1. The representative prices referred to in Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be established taking into account in particular - the prices charged on third country markets,
- free-at-Community-frontier offer prices,
- prices charged for imported products at the various stages of marketing in the Community.
2. Representative prices shall be fixed by the Commission. They shall remain in force until amended.
3. The additional duties applicable pursuant to Article 4 (3) shall be fixed at the same time as the representative prices.
Where the difference between the trigger price and the import price to be taken into consideration for establishing the additional duty in accordance with Article 4 (1) or (3) hereinafter referred to as the 'import price`.
(a) does not exceed 10 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be zero;
(b) is more than 10 % but not moer than 40 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 30 % of the amount exceeding 10 %;
(c) is more than 40 % but not more than 60 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 50 % of the amount exceeding 40 %, plus the additional duty referred to in (b);
(d) is more than 60 % than not more than 75 % of the trigger pice, the additional duty shall be 70 % of the amount exceeding 60 %, plus the additional duties referred to in (b) and (c);
(e) is more than 75 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 90 % of the amount exceeding 75 %, plus the additional duties referred to in (b), (c), and (d),
in accordance with the table contained in the Annex hereto.
1. The importer may, on request, for the establishment of the additional duty, have the cif import price of the consignment in question applied, where this is more than the applicable representative price referred to in Article 2 (2).
The application of the cif import price of the consignment in question for establishing the additional levy shall be conditional upon the interested party presenting to the competent authorities of the importing Member State at least the following documentary evidence:
- the purchase contract or other equivalent proof,
- the insurance contract,
- the invoice,
- the transport contract (where applicable),
- the certificate of origin,
- and, in the case of shipping, the bill of lading.
2. In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the importer must provide a security equal to the amounts of the additional duties he would have paid if they had been calculated on the basis of the representative price applicable to the product concerned.
The importer shall have one month from the sale of the products in question, within a time limit of four months from the date of acceptance of the declaration of free circulation, to prove that the consignment has proceeded in accordance with such conditions as confirm the reality of the prices referred to in paragraph 1. Failure to observe one or other of the abovementioned time limits shall entail loss of the security provided. However, the four-month time limit may be extended by the competent authority by up to three months as the request of the importer, provided due justification is given.
The security shall be released provided that the proof that the conditions of disposal have been met is furnished to the satisfaction of the customs authorities. If not, the security shall be forfeited by way of payment of the additional duties. If, on verification, the competent authorities find that the conditions of this Article have not been met, they shall recover the duties payable in accordance with Article 220 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92. In establishing the amount of duties to be recovered or remaining to be recovered, account shall be taken of a current interest from the date of entry of the goods into free circulation until the date of recovery. The rate of interest applied shall be that in force for recovery operations under national law.
3. In the absence of the request referred to in paragraph 1, the cif import price of the consignment in question to be taken into consideration for charging an additional levy shall be the representative price referred to in Article 2 (2). In such case the additional duty shall be calculated on the basis of the table contained in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2935/90 of 9 October 1990 opening for 1990, as an autonomous measure, a special import tariff quota for high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen beef and veal falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 and for products falling within CN codes 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91 (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2935/90 opened a tariff quota for high-quality beef and veal; whereas the rules for the application of these arrangements must be established;
Whereas the exporting non-member countries have undertaken to issue certificates of authenticity guaranteeing the origin of these products; whereas the form and layout of these certificates and the procedures for using them must be specified;
Whereas the certificate of authenticity must be issued by an appropriate authority in a non-member country, the standing of which is such as to ensure that the special arrangements are properly applied;
Whereas provision must be made for the Member States to transmit relevant information in connection with these special imports;

(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2008.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1533/85
of 4 June 1985
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff (1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas eel fishing has been prohibited or has become impossible in certain Community production centres; whereas this has led to a drop in Community production of eels in general and particularly of fresh eels (live or dead), chilled or frozen, falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, intended for processing by curing or skinning enterprises or for use in the industrial manufacture of products falling within heading No 16.04 thereof; whereas this production is likely to be developed, particularly in two Member States, without, however, being able to satisfy all the requirements of the Community; whereas the processing industries in the Community consequently depend to a large extent on imports for their supplies of eels; whereas, from 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986 the application of the Common Customs Tariff duty should therefore be suspended totally on imports of the relevant products up to an appropriate quantitative limit; whereas the introduction of a Community measure of this nature is unlikely to harm Community production;
Whereas current demand not met by Community production which must therefore be met by imports can be estimated at 5 250 tonnes for the period 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986; whereas a tariff quota for the relevant types of eel should therefore be opened for this period on the conditions set out above; whereas the fixing of the quota volume at this level does not, however, prevent its readjustment during the quota period;
Whereas it is, in particular, necessary to ensure to all importers in the Member States equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, in the light of these principles, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the tariff quota among the Member; whereas statistics available for these specific products do not give a clear picture of the market situation; whereas, therefore, it is not possible to allocate the quota among the Member States solely on the basis of import trends for the eels in question over the past few years; whereas, however, according to each Member State's estimated needs, initial shares may be fixed at the quantities set out in Article 2;
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned, the quota amount should be divided into two instalments, the first instalment being allocated, and the second forming a reserve intended subsequently to cover the requirements of the Member States which have used up their initial shares; whereas, in order to ensure a certain degree of security for importers, the first instalment of the Community tariff quota should be fixed at a level which, under present circumstances, may be around 90 % of the quota amount;
Whereas the initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, in order to take this fact into account and to avoid any break in continuity, any Member State which has almost used up its total initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas this must be done by each Member State as and when each of its additional shares is almost entirely used up, and repeated as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must be able to keep account of the extent to which the quota amount has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a considerable balance remains in one or other Member State, it is essential, to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others, that that Member State should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. During the period 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986, a Community tariff quota of 5 250 tonnes shall be opened for fresh eels (live or dead), chilled or frozen, falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, intended for processing by curing or skinning enterprises or for use in the industrial manufacture of products falling within heading No 16.04 of the Common Customs Tariff.
Control of the use for this special purpose shall be carried out pursuant to the relevant Community provisions.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Common Customs Tariff duty shall be totally suspended.
Within these limits, Greece shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the provisions laid down in the 1979 Act of Accession.
1. A first instalment of 4 750 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States. Member States' shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid from 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986, shall consist of the following amounts:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 1 661 // Denmark // 900 // Germany // 1 866 // France // 100 // Italy // 3 // United Kingdom // 220
2. The second instalment of 500 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
3. If an importer notifies the imminent import of the product in question in Greece or Ireland and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If, after its initial share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number, to the extent that the reserve so permits.
3. If, after its second share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in the manner provided in paragraph 2, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This procedure shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may draw lesser shares than those specified therein if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. They shall inform the Commission of their reasons for applying this paragraph.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 2 (3) or 3 shall be valid until 30 June 1986.
Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 May 1986, the unused portions of their initial shares which, on 15 April 1986, are in excess of 20 % of the initial amounts. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that such portion may not be used in full.
Member States shall notify the Commission, not later than 1 May 1986, of the total quantities of the products in question imported, up to and including 15 April 1986, and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it has been notified, shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall inform the Member States, not later than 5 May 1986, of the amount still in reserve after amounts have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing. Article 7
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products in question against their shares as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on this basis of the imports charged against that share in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request, Member States shall inform it of the imports actually charged against their shares.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

This situation justifies a derogation, for the 2002/03 marketing year, from the time limit requiring delivery by the end of the second month.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, the delivery of paddy rice for taking over by the intervention agency in respect of the 2002/03 marketing year must take place no later than 31 August 2003.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 19 September 2011
on the traceability requirements set by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council for food of animal origin
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 18(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 establishes the general principles of traceability of food. It provides that the traceability of food must be established at all stages of production, processing and distribution. It also states that food business operators must be able to identify persons from whom they have been supplied with food. Such operators must also be able to identify businesses to which their products have been supplied. This information is to be made available to the competent authorities upon demand.
(2) Traceability is necessary to ensure food safety and the reliability of information provided to consumers. In particular, it is necessary to apply traceability to food of animal origin to assist in the removal of unsafe food from the market, thereby protecting consumers.
(3) To achieve the traceability of food as set out in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the names and addresses of both the food business operator supplying the food and the food business operator to whom the food was supplied are needed. The requirement relies on the ‘one-step back’-‘one-step forward’ approach which implies that food business operators have in place a system enabling them to identify their immediate supplier(s) and their immediate customer(s), except when they are final consumers.
(4) Food crises in the past have revealed that documentary records were not always sufficient to allow full traceability of suspect foods. During the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2), Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4), experience has shown that food business operators do not generally possess the information needed to ensure that their systems identifying the handling or storage of foods is adequate, in particular in the sector of food of animal origin. This has resulted in this sector to unnecessarily high economic losses due to the lack of quick and full traceability of the food.
(5) Therefore, it is appropriate to lay down certain rules for the specific sector of food of animal origin to ensure the correct application of the requirements set out in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002. These rules should allow (some) flexibility concerning the format in which relevant information is made available.
(6) In particular, it is appropriate to provide additional information on the volume or quantity of the food of animal origin, a reference identifying the lot, batch or consignment, as appropriate, a detailed description of the food and the date of dispatch.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Subject matter
This Regulation lays down provisions implementing the traceability requirements set by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 to food business operators in respect of food of animal origin.
Scope
1. This Regulation shall apply to food defined as unprocessed and processed products in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004.
2. This Regulation shall not apply to food containing both products of plant origin and processed products of animal origin.
Traceability requirements
1. Food business operators shall ensure that the following information concerning consignments of food of animal origin is made available to the food business operator to whom the food is supplied and, upon request, to the competent authority:
(a) an accurate description of the food;
(b) the volume or quantity of the food;
(c) the name and address of the food business operator from which the food has been dispatched;
(d) the name and address of the consignor (owner) if different from the food business operator from which the food has been dispatched;
(e) the name and address of the food business operator to whom the food is dispatched;
(f) the name and address of the consignee (owner), if different from the food business operator to whom the food is dispatched;
(g) a reference identifying the lot, batch or consignment, as appropriate; and
(h) the date of dispatch.
2. The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made available in addition to any information required under relevant provisions of Union legislation concerning the traceability of food of animal origin.
3. The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall be updated on a daily basis and kept at least available until it can be reasonably assumed that the food has been consumed.
When requested by the competent authority, the food business operator shall provide the information without undue delay. The appropriate form in which the information must be made available is up to the choice of the supplier of the food, as long as the information requested in paragraph 1 is clearly and unequivocally available to and retrievable by the business operator to whom the food is supplied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Protocol on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Statute") and in particular Article 30(4) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation of the European Central Bank (ECB)(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Commission of the European Communities(3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 107(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community ("the Treaty") and Article 42 of the Statute and under the conditions set out in Article 122(5) of the Treaty and paragraph 7 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30(1) of the Statute requires that the ECB be provided by the national central banks of participating Member States with foreign reserve assets, other than Member States' currencies, euro, IMF reserve positions and SDRs, up to an amount equivalent to EUR 50000 million.
(2) Article 30(4) of the Statute provides that further calls of foreign reserve assets beyond the limit set in Article 30(1) of the Statute may be effected by the ECB within the limits and under the conditions set by the Council.
(3) Article 123(1), in conjunction with Article 107(6), of the Treaty provides that immediately after 1 July 1998 the Council shall adopt the provision referred to in Article 30(4) of the Statute.
(4) This Regulation establishes a limit for further calls of foreign reserve assets, thereby enabling the Governing Council of the ECB to decide on actual calls at some point in the future in order to replenish already depleted holdings of foreign reserve assets and not to increase the ECB's holdings beyond the maximum amount equivalent to EUR 50000 million set for the initial transfers of foreign reserve assets by the national central banks to the ECB.
(5) Any replenishment of foreign reserves is not to entail an increase in the subscribed capital of the ECB.
(6) Article 30(4) of the Statute requires that further calls of foreign reserve assets be effected in accordance with Article 30(2) of the Statute; Article 30(2) in conjunction with Article 43(6) of the Statute and paragraph 10(b) of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland requires that the contributions of each national central bank shall be fixed in proportion to its share of the capital of the ECB subscribed by the national central banks of participating Member States.

(8) Article 30(4) of the Statute, in conjunction with Articles 43(4) and 43(6) of the Statute and paragraph 8 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and paragraph 2 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to Denmark, does not confer any rights or impose any obligations on the non-participating Member States.
(9) Article 49(1) of the Statute in conjunction with paragraph 10(b) of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland requires that the central bank of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated, or who is treated on the same basis as the central bank of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated, is to transfer to the ECB foreign reserve assets in accordance with Article 30(1) of the Statute. Article 49(1) of the Statute requires that the sum to be transfered is to be determined by multiplying the euro value at current exchange rates of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30(1), by the ratio between the number of shares subscribed by the national central bank concerned and the number of shares already paid up by the other national central banks.
(10) All references to amounts in euro in the aforementioned provisions of the Treaty, in this Regulation and in any call of or request by the ECB for foreign reserve assets are references to nominal amounts in euro at the time a call of such foreign reserve assets by the ECB is effected,
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation:
- "foreign reserve assets" mean any official foreign reserve assets of the participating Member States held by national central banks that are denominated in, or comprise, currencies, units of account or gold other than Member States' currencies, euro, IMF reserve positions and SDRs,
- "national central bank" means the central bank of a participating Member State, and
- "participating Member State" means a Member State which has adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty.

Whereas:
(1) Thailand has reported an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry.
(2) A human case due to infection with the avian influenza virus strain has also been reported in Thailand.

(4) Importation of live poultry and ratites and of their hatching eggs is not authorised from Thailand; however, imports of certain poultry products originating from Thailand could pose a risk of disease introduction.
(5) Therefore imports of fresh meat of poultry, ratites, wild and farmed feathered game, poultrymeat preparations and poultrymeat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of the abovementioned species, of raw material for pet-food production obtained from poultry slaughtered after 1 January 2004 and of eggs for human consumption from Thailand to the Community should be immediately suspended, given the seriousness of the potential risks.
(6) Commission Decision 97/222/EC(4) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products and establishes treatment regimes in order to lower the risk of disease transmission via such products. The treatment that has to be applied to the product depends on the health status of the country of origin in relation to the species the meat is obtained from; in order to avoid an unnecessary burden on trade, imports of poultrymeat products originating in Thailand treated to a temperature of at least 70 ° Celsius should continue to be authorised.
(7) This decision will be reviewed at the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health scheduled for 2 and 3 February 2004,
Member States shall prohibit the importation from the territory of Thailand of fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, poultrymeat products and meat preparations consisting or containing meat of the abovementioned species, of raw material for pet-food production and of eggs for human consumption.

Whereas it is necessary to lay down health requirements for imports of fresh meat from Hungary;
Whereas following a Community veterinary mission it appears that the animal health situation in Hungary compares favourably with that of most of the Community countries, particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities of Hungary have confirmed that Hungary has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest, exotic and classical foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, classical swine fever, contagious porcine paralysis (Teschen disease) and swine vesicular disease and that no vaccinations have been carried out against those diseases during that time with the exception of classical foot-and-mouth disease; whereas animals vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease are present in Hungary;
Whereas the responsible veterinary authorities of Hungary have undertaken to notify the Commission and the Member States, by telex or telegram, within 24 hours, of confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or an alteration in vaccination policy against them;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adapted in the light of the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;
Whereas certain Member States, because of their particular animal health situations concerning foot-and-mouth disease and swine fever, benefit from special provisions in intra-Community trade and should therefore also be authorized to apply special provisions in respect of imports from non-member countries; whereas these provisions must be at least as strict as those which the same Member States apply in intra-Community trade;
Whereas it will be necessary to re-examine this Decision with a view to its adaptation to Community rules concerning the control and eradication of foot-and-mouth disease and swine fever within the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Member States shall authorize the importation of the following categories of fresh meat from Hungary:

Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,
Whereas in Finland the production of seed of the category 'certified seed` of certain varieties of field bean (Vicia faba) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to the minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Finland should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Finland with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Finland is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1997, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 38 tonnes of seed of the category 'certified seed` of varieties of the type 'Ukko` of field bean (Vicia faba) which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 69 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 69 %`.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed pursuant to this Decision.

Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
Whereas in the Kingdom of the Netherlands the production of field pea seed (Pisum sativum L. partim) of the type described as 'round for agricultural purposes and dry harvesting' satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC was insufficient in 1984 and is not adequate to supply the needs of that country;
Whereas it is not possible to cover these needs satisfactorily by the use of certified seed from other Member States, or even from non-member countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas, by its Decision 85/228/EEC of 1 April 1985 (3), the Commission authorized the Kingdom of the Netherlands temporarily to permit the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas it appears that such authorization is not sufficient to cover the requirements of the Kingdom of the Netherlands;
Whereas the Kingdom of the Netherlands should therefore be authorized temporarily to admit an additional quantity of seed of the abovementioned species of a category subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Decision 85/228/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the quantity '950 tonnes' is replaced by '1 450 tonnes'.
2. In Article 2, the quantity '950 tonnes' is replaced by '1 450 tonnes'.

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC (4) and in particular Article 2(1)(i) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), and in particular Article 66(1)(b) and (c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down general rules for the performance of official controls to verify compliance with rules aiming, in particular, at preventing, eliminating or reducing to acceptable levels risks to humans and animals and guaranteeing fair practices in feed and food trade and protecting consumer interests. Article 51 of that Regulation provides that the Commission may organise training courses for the staff of the competent authorities of Member States responsible for the official controls referred to in that Regulation, which may be opened to participants from third countries, in particular developing countries. Those courses may include, in particular, training on European Union feed and food law and animal health and animal welfare rules.
(2) Article 2(1)(i) of Directive 2000/29/EC provides the legal basis for organising courses in the field of plant health.
(3) The ‘Better Training for Safer Food’ Programme has been established in 2006 by the Commission in order to achieve the aims set out in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. The Commission Communication of 20 September 2006 on ‘Better training for safer food’ (6) explores options for future organisation of training.
(4) In order to ensure implementation of the ‘Better Training for Safer Food’ Programme in Member States it is necessary to adopt a financing decision and the work programme on training in the field of food and feed safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health for 2014. Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 establishes detailed rules on financing decisions.
(5) Commission Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU (7) establishes the ‘Consumers, Health and Food Executive Agency’ (hereafter ‘the Agency’). This Decision entrusts the Agency with certain management and programme implementation tasks relating to the food safety training measures performed pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and Directive 2000/29/EC. A Union financial contribution should therefore be granted to the Agency in 2014 for financing the operating costs of the activities related to the ‘Better Training for Safer Food’ Programme.
(6) For the application of this Decision, it is appropriate to define the term ‘substantial change’, within the meaning of Article 94(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012.
(7) This Decision should allow for the payment of interest due for late payment on the basis of Article 92 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 and Article 111(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012,
The annual work programme for the implementation of the Better Training for Safer Food Programme for 2014, as set out in the Annex, is adopted. It constitutes a financing decision within the meaning of Article 84 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012.
1. The maximum contribution for the implementation of the work programme for the year 2014 is set at EUR 16 170 000 and shall be financed from the following lines of the general budget of the European Union for 2014:
(a) budget line 17 04 03: EUR 15 000 000
(b) budget line 17 01 06 03: EUR 1 170 000.
2. The amount provided for in paragraph 1(b) shall be paid to the Consumers, Health and Food Executive Agency and shall constitute an operating financial contribution.
3. The appropriations provided for in point 1(a) may also cover interest due for late payment.
Cumulated changes to the allocations to specific actions not exceeding 20 % of the maximum contribution provided for in Article 2(1) of this Decision shall not be considered to be substantial within the meaning of Article 94(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012, where those changes do not significantly affect the nature of the actions and objective of the work programme.
The authorising officer responsible may adopt such changes in accordance with the principles of sound financial management and of proportionality. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting the production and placing on the market of fresh poultrymeat(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 14(B)(2)(b) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(4), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The public health requirements contained in Commission Decision 2001/471/EC of 8 June 2001 laying down rules for the regular checks on the general hygiene carried out by the operators in establishments according to Directive 64/433/EEC on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat and Directive 71/118/EEC on health problems affecting the production and placing on the market of fresh poultrymeat(5) should also apply to imports from third countries.
(2) For that purpose, firstly, the third country rules with regard to the implementation of regular checks on the general hygiene carried out by operators exporting fresh poultrymeat or fresh meat to the Community should be taken into account when considering the fulfilment of the criteria set forth under Article 15 of Directive 71/118/EEC and under Article 3(2) of Directive 72/462/EEC, for the listing of the third country concerned.
(3) Secondly, the implementation of such checks by the operators concerned should be taken into account when considering their inclusion in the lists of establishments provided for under Article 14(B)(2) of Directive 71/118/EEC and under Article 4(1) of Directive 72/462/EEC.
(4) Thirdly, the guarantees to be provided under Article 14(B)(1)(b) of Directive 71/118/EEC, and under Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 72/462/EEC, should be included in the attestations of health included into the model certificates provided for by Articles 14(B) of Directive 71/118/EEC and Article 22 of Directive 72/462/EEC respectively, at the earliest opportunity.
(5) Directive 71/118/EEC provides for the establishment of a list of establishments, satisfying specific requirements of Community legislation.
(6) A provisional list of establishments is contained in Commission Decision 97/4/EC of 12 December 1996 drawing up provisional lists of third country establishments from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat(6), as last amended by Decision 2001/400/EC(7).
(7) Commission Decision 94/984/EC of 20 December 1994 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultrymeat from certain third countries(8), as last amended by Decision 2001/659/EC(9), was amended by Decision 2001/598/EC(10), inter alia to introduce into the animal and public health certificates the model of the public health declaration for the importation of fresh poultrymeat from third countries, required by Article 14(B)(1)(c) of Directive 71/118/EEC. Decision 94/984/EC should now be further amended to supplement the said model declaration in accordance with the objectives of the present Decision. It is also appropriate to rectify simultaneously a material error in Annex III to that Decision.
(8) Directive 72/462/EEC provides that, without prejudice to the animal health requirements set out in Articles 14 and 15 of that Directive, Member States must not authorise importation of fresh meat from a third country unless the meat complies with public health requirements to be adopted. Article 17(2)(c) of that Directive provides that the fresh meat must have been treated according to the hygiene conditions in accordance with Council Directive 64/433/EEC(11). Article 4 provides for the drawing up of lists of establishments, the compliance of which with the provisions of the Directive and with the hygiene conditions required under Directive 64/433/EEC is to be assessed according to criteria provided for under paragraph 2 of the same Article, and which may by amended or supplemented by the Commission in line with the result of the inspections provided for in Article 5.
(9) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification requirements for the importation of fresh meat from a number of countries, have been established on the basis of Article 16 of Directive 72/462/EEC in a number of Commission Decisions which should be recast in a near future; by that time, it shall be appropriate to introduce into the attestation of health included in the model certificates, the same public health attestation as introduced by the present Decision for fresh poultrymeat.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
When considering whether a given third country fulfils the criteria set out in Article 15 of Directive 71/118/EEC and Article 3(2) of Directive 72/462/EEC in order to be included on the list drawn up in accordance with those Directives, the Commission shall take into account the rules of that third country with regard to the implementation of regular checks on the general hygiene, based on hazard analysis and critical control points principles and on microbiological controls as necessary, carried out by operators exporting fresh poultrymeat or fresh meat to the Community.
When inspections are carried out pursuant to Directive 71/118/EEC and Directive 72/462/EEC in order to determine whether an establishment complies with the provisions of those Directives and of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC and may therefore be included in the list provided for in Article 14(B)(2) of Directive 71/118/EEC and Article 4(1) of Directive 72/462/EEC, implementation by the operators concerned of the requirements of Decision 2001/471/EC shall be taken into account.
Decision 94/984/EC is amended as follow:
1. In Annex II, point 15 (models A and B), section II (public health certification) the following new point 5 is added: "5. That the meat comes from an establishment implementing checks on the general hygiene in accordance with the provisions of Commission Decision 2001/471/EC(12)"
2. In Annex III, the words "The health mark referred to in Article 2" are replaced by "The health mark referred to in Article 1(2)".
This Decision shall apply with effect from 8 June 2003.
When considering whether a given third country fulfils the criteria set out in Article 15 of Directive 71/118/EEC and Article 3(2) of Directive 72/462/EEC in order to be included on the list drawn up in accordance with those Directives, or when an inspection is carried out in a given third country pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 71/118/EEC or Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC, the Commission shall, from the date of adoption of this Decision, take into account the preparatory steps taken by that country with a view to fulfilling the requirements of this Decision from 8 June 2003.

2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in paragraph 1 which are fitted with pneumatic tyres and which have two axles and a maximum design speed of between 6 and 25 km/h.
No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval of a tractor on grounds relating to the coupling device or to the reverse if these satisfy the requirements set out in the Annexes hereto.
No Member State may refuse the registration or prohibit the sale, entry into service or use of tractors on grounds relating to the coupling device or to the reverse if these satisfy the requirements set out in the Annexes hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 437/2012
of 23 May 2012
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011 on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres consigned from Taiwan and Thailand, whether declared as originating in Taiwan and Thailand or not, and making such imports subject to registration
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee in accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The European Commission (‧the Commission‧) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China and to make imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres consigned from Taiwan and Thailand, whether declared as originating in Taiwan and Thailand or not, subject to registration.
(2) The request was lodged on 10 April 2012 by Saint-Gobain Adfors CZ s.r.o., Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo, Valmieras "Stikla Skiedra" AS and Vitrulan Technical Textiles GmbH, four Union producers of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35g/m2, excluding glass fibre discs, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 7019 51 00 and ex 7019 59 00 (‧the product concerned‧).
(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Taiwan and Thailand, whether declared as originating in Taiwan and Thailand or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011 (2).
D. GROUNDS
(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Taiwan and Thailand.
(7) The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows:
(8) The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Thailand to the Union has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, without sufficient due cause or justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.
(9) This change appears to stem from the transhipment of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China via Taiwan and Thailand to the Union.
(10) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
(11) Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
(12) Should circumvention practices via Taiwan and Thailand covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.
E. PROCEDURE
(13) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Taiwan and Thailand or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
(14) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Taiwan and Thailand, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Thailand. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.
(15) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time-limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time-limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time-limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(16) The authorities of the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Thailand will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(17) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures
(18) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(19) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers in Taiwan and Thailand of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35g/m2, excluding glass fibre discs, that can show that they are not related (3) to any producer subject to the measures (4) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time-limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
(20) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Taiwan and Thailand was imposed.
G. TIME-LIMITS
(21) In the interest of sound administration, time-limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— producers in Taiwan and Thailand may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
— Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time-limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(22) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time-limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(23) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.
(24) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION
(25) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
J. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(26) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).
K. HEARING OFFICER
(27) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time-limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested partie's rights of defence are being fully exercised.
(28) A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.
(29) For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/hearing-officer/index_en.htm.
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, consigned from Taiwan and Thailand, whether declared as originating in Taiwan and Thailand or not, currently falling within CN codes ex 7019 51 00 and ex 7019 59 00 (TARIC codes 7019510012, 7019510013, 7019590012 and 7019590013), are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted.
Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
Producers in Taiwan and Thailand requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time-limit.
Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time-limit.
Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (non-confidential submissions via e-mail, confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate their name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. However, any Powers of Attorney, signed certifications, and any updates thereof, accompanying questionnaire replies must be submitted on paper, i.e. by post or by hand, at the address below. If an interested party cannot provide its submissions and requests in electronic format, it must immediately inform the Commission in compliance with Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation. For further information concerning correspondence with the Commission, interested parties may consult the relevant web page on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/trade-defence.
All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis must be labelled as ‧Limited‧ (6) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, must be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which must be labelled ‧For inspection by interested parties‧.

thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1593/94 (4), fixes for the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the Azores and Madeira; whereas the period covered by the supply balance has been limited to three months and to the quantities provided for in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1593/94 pending additional information to be provided by the Member State;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1136/79 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3584/81 (3), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the special import arrangements for frozen beef intended for processing; whereas, under Article 2 (1) (c) of that Regulation, operators are required to pay, in addition to the security, an additional sum based on the quantity of frozen meat for which proof of processing is not furnished;
Whereas, in cases where the import levy is suspended pursuant to Article 14 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, that additional sum reaches a level which does not appear to be justified on economic grounds; whereas the method for calculating that additional sum should therefore be altered;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the provisions of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Malta (1), have lapsed; whereas a complementary Protocol which prolongs until 31 December 1990 the duration of the first stage of the Agreement has been signed; whereas, pending the entry into force of the complementary Protocol, the arrangements which the Community applies to trade with Malta within the context of the association with that country should be extended for 1989;
Whereas the Council has adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2357/86 of 24 July 1986 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3555/80, (EEC) No 3394/85 and (EEC) No 3668/85 as regards imports into Greece of certain products originating in Malta (2); whereas, since a Protocol as provided for in Articles 179 and 366 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal does not exist, the Community must take the measures referred to in Articles 180 and 367 of that Act; whereas this Regulation applies to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas the abovementioned Additional Protocol provides for the total abolition of customs duties in respect of the products to which the Agreement applies; whereas, however, exemption from duties in respect of a number of products is subject to ceilings above which the customs duties applicable to third countries may be reimposed; whereas the ceilings to be applied in 1989 should therefore be determined; whereas those ceilings can be applied only if the Community is regularly informed of imports of the said products originating in Malta; whereas imports of those products should therefore be subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must provide for the possibility of the applicable customs duties being reimposed as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take appropriate measures to reimpose customs tariffs if one of the ceilings is reached,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989, imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of the products listed in the Annex and originating in Malta shall be subject to annual ceilings and Community surveillance.
The description of the products referred to in the first subparagraph, the corresponding CN codes and the ceilings are set out in the Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when the products are entered whith customs authorities for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate in accordance with the rules contained in the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of ´originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation annexed to the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Malta (3).
Goods may be charged against the ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are reimposed.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it in the manner defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission of imports charged in accordance with the above procedure at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4.
3. As soon as the ceilings have been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation reimposing until the end of the calendar year the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission not later than the 15th day of each month statements of the quantities charged during the preceding month. If the Commission so requests, they shall provide such statements for periods of 10 days and forward them within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Commission, in close cooperation with the Member States, shall take all appropriate measures for the purposes of applying this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(i) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/866/EC of 12 November 2008 on emergency measures suspending imports from Peru of certain bivalve molluscs intended for human consumption (2) was adopted as a result of contamination with the hepatitis A virus (HAV) of certain bivalve molluscs imported from Peru which were identified as being at the origin of an outbreak of hepatitis A in humans. That Decision initially applied until 31 March 2009 but this period of application was extended until 30 November 2010 by Commission Decision 2009/862/EC of 30 November 2009 amending Decision 2008/866/EC as regards its period of application (3).
(2) The Peruvian authorities have provided certain information concerning the corrective measures put in place to improve control of the production of bivalve molluscs intended for export to the Union.
(3) A Commission inspection was carried out in September 2009 in order to evaluate the control systems in place governing the production of bivalve molluscs and fishery products intended for export to the Union. The inspection concluded that the Peruvian authorities were putting in place the corrective measures described in the information which they provided after the outbreak of hepatitis A. However, these measures were not fully implemented at the time of the inspection.
(4) The Peruvian authorities recently informed the Commission that they have concluded the implementation of the corrective measures. However, in order to protect the health of consumers it is necessary to maintain the protective measures provided for in Decision 2008/866/EC until the Commission verifies that the Peruvian authorities have completed the implementation of the corrective measures and concludes that bivalve molluscs produced in Peru and intended for export to the Union meet the conditions established by the Union law.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to extend the application of Decision 2008/866/EC until 30 November 2011, without prejudice to the power of the Commission to modify, repeal or extend those measures in the light of any new information related to the evolution of the situation in Peru and of the outcome of inspections by its services.
(6) Decision 2008/866/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 5 of Decision 2008/866/EC, the date ‘30 November 2010’ is replaced by the date ‘30 November 2011’.

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of manganese chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) From the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) adopted on 9 December 2009 (2), read in combination with the opinions of 15 September 2009 (3) and 15 April 2008 (4), it results that manganese chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. According to the opinion of 15 April 2008, the use of that preparation may be considered as a source of available manganese and fulfils the criteria of a nutritional additive for all animal species. The Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) By Commission Regulation (EU) No 103/2010 of 5 February 2010 concerning the authorisation of manganese chelate of hydroxy analogue of methionine as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (5) that preparation was already authorised as a feed additive for chickens for fattening. That Regulation should be repealed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Regulation (EU) No 103/2010 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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 organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 31 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (3), makes the release of garlic for free circulation in the Community subject to the presentation of an import licence;
Whereas, in recent years, particularly as a result of the introduction of a safeguard clause on the import of garlic originating in China, massive or sudden increases have been recorded in imports of this product from certain third countries that are not traditionally exporters to the Community;
Whereas, based on these observations and the information received by the Commission, there are well-founded grounds for doubting the true origin of the garlic imported from these countries; whereas, on this basis, the competent Commission staff have alerted the appropriate offices in the Member States; whereas, however, imports whose true origin remains doubtful have continued at a high rate;
Whereas, to improve controls and prevent any risk of a deflection of trade based on incorrect documents, imports of garlic from these countries should be made subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the competent national authorities, in accordance with Articles 56 to 62 of 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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 89/97 (5); whereas, for the same reason, direct transport of garlic originating in these third countries to the Community must be imposed;
Whereas introduction of this certificate scheme will require administrative cooperation between the Community and the third countries involved, in accordance with Articles 63 to 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, with a view to providing the Commission with information on the competent authorities for issuing certificates of origin in each of the third countries; whereas, once this information is sent by each of the countries concerned to the Commission, it will be published in the 'C` series of the Official Journal of the European Communities; whereas, upon publication of this information, this Regulation will apply to each of the third countries concerned; whereas a maximum limit of three months should however be laid down for sending the Commission the necessary information; whereas this Regulation shall apply to all of the countries concerned once this deadline has passed, irrespective of whether they have sent the information to the Commission or not;
Whereas application of this Regulation should be specifically waived in the case of goods already on their way to the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The release for free circulation in the Community of garlic from the third countries listed in the Annex hereto shall be conditional on:
(a) the presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the competent national authorities of these countries in accordance with Articles 55 to 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93; and
(b) the product being transported direct from these countries into the Community.
1. The following shall be considered as transported direct to the Community from the third countries listed in the Annex:
(a) products transported without passing through the territory of any other country;
(b) products transported through countries other than the country of origin, with or without transhipment or temporary warehousing in those countries, provided that passage through those countries is justified for geographical reasons or exclusively on account of transport requirements, and that the products:
- have remained under the supervision of the customs authorities of the country of transit or warehousing,
- have not entered into commerce or been released for consumption, and
- have not undergone operations other than unloading and reloading or any other operation to keep them in good condition.
2. Proof that the conditions laid down in 1 (b) above have been met shall be provided by supplying the Community authorities with:
(a) a single transport document issued in the country of origin covering passage through the country of transit; or
(b) a certificate issued by the customs authorities of the country of transit containing:
- an exact description of the goods,
- the dates of their unloading and reloading or, where applicable, their lading or unlading, identifying the vessels used,
- certification of the conditions under which they were kept during their time in the country of transit; or
(c) failing these, any substantiating documents.
Once sent by each of the third countries listed in the Annex hereto, the information needed to implement the administrative cooperation under Articles 63 to 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall be published in the 'C` series of the Official Journal of the European Communities.
1. This Regulation shall not apply to products in the process of shipment to the Community within the meaning of paragraph 2.
2. Products shall be deemed to be in the process of shipment to the Community if they:
- left the country of origin before the date this Regulation begins to apply, and
- are shipped from the place of loading in the country of origin to the place of unloading in the Community under cover of a valid transport document issued before the date this Regulation begins to apply.
3. The parties concerned shall provide proof to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that the conditions laid down in paragraph 2 have been met.
However, the authorities may regard the products as having left the country of origin before the date this Regulation begins to apply if one of the following documents is provided:
- in the case of transport by sea, the bill of lading showing that loading took place before that date,
- in the case of transport by rail, the consignment note that was accepted by the railway authorities in the country of origin before that date,
- in the case of transport by road, the CMR contract for the carriage of goods or any other transport document issued in the country of origin before that date,
- in the case of transport by air, the air consignment note showing that the airline took the products over before that date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to all the countries listed in the Annex upon publication of the information referred to in Article 3 or, failing that, three months after its publication.

of 26 November 2012
supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall
(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 7 thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2010/40/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards specifications necessary to ensure the compatibility, interoperability and continuity for the deployment and operational use of intelligent transport systems (ITS).
(2) According to Article 3(d) of Directive 2010/40/EU, the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall service shall constitute a priority action. The Commission should, therefore, adopt the necessary specifications in this field.
(3) Article 26 of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive) (2) requires that calls to the single European emergency call number 112 are answered appropriately and handled in a manner that is best suited to the national organisation of emergency systems, including the emergency call response centres (public safety answering points).
(4) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ‘eCall: Time for deployment’ (3), envisages new regulatory measures to speed up the deployment of an in-vehicle emergency call service in the Union. One of the proposed measures is to make the necessary upgrading of the public safety answering point (PSAP) infrastructure required for proper receipt and handling of eCalls mandatory.
(5) Commission Recommendation 2011/750/EU (4) on support for an EU-wide eCall service in electronic communication networks for the transmission of in-vehicle emergency calls based on 112 (‘eCalls’) advises Member States to indicate the eCall PSAP to route eCalls and to ensure that mobile network operators handle eCalls properly.
(6) It is expected that, by reducing the response time of the emergency services, the interoperable EU-wide eCall will reduce the number of fatalities in the Union as well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents.
(7) The interoperable EU-wide eCall is also expected to bring savings to society by improving incident management and by reducing road congestion and secondary accidents.
(8) The processing of personal data in the context of the handling of eCalls by the PSAPs, the emergency services and service partners is performed in accordance with 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 (5) and 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) (6). Member States shall ensure that this compliance is demonstrated, with national data protection authorities, either during a priori control procedures, such as prior notifications or a posteriori checks, such as in the course of complaints and investigations.
(9) The interoperable EU-wide eCall service follows the recommendations made by the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party and contained in the ‘Working document on data protection and privacy implications in eCall initiative’, adopted on 26 September 2006 (1609/06/EN — WP 125). Vehicles equipped with eCall in-vehicle equipment shall not be traceable in their normal operational status. The minimum set of data sent by the eCall in-vehicle equipment (i.e. when triggered) shall include the minimum information required for the appropriate handling of emergency calls.
(10) Without prejudice to Directive 95/46/EC, Member States shall take into account, when deploying the eCall PSAPs infrastructure, the ‘Working document on data protection and privacy implications in eCall initiative’ adopted by the Article 29 Working Party on 26 September 2006 (1609/06/EN — WP 125).
(11) It is important that all Member States should develop common technical solutions and practices for the provision of emergency call services. The development of common technical solutions should be pursued in particular through the European standardisation organisations, in order to facilitate the introduction of the eCall service, ensure the interoperability and continuity of the service throughout the Union, and reduce the costs of implementation for the Union as a whole.
(12) The European Standardisation Organisations, ETSI and CEN, have developed common standards for the deployment of a pan-European eCall service, which the present Regulation makes the reference to.
(13) Infrastructures already deployed should be granted sufficient time to upgrade, therefore the Regulation should apply to them 12 months after entry into force,
Subject matter and scope
This Regulation establishes the specifications for the upgrading of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) infrastructure required for the proper receipt and handling of eCalls, in order to ensure the compatibility, interoperability and continuity of the harmonised EU-wide eCall service.

eCall PSAP requirements
1. Member States shall ensure that any eCall PSAP is equipped to handle eCalls and receive the MSD originating from the in-vehicle equipment according to the standards ‘Intelligent transport system — eSafety — PanEuropean eCall-Operating requirements’ (EN 16072) and ‘Intelligent transport systems — eSafety — eCall High Level Application Requirements (HLAP)’ (EN 16062).
2. The eCall PSAP shall handle eCalls as expeditiously and effectively as any other call made to the single European emergency number 112. The eCall PSAP shall process eCalls in line with the requirements of national regulations for emergency call processing.
3. The eCall PSAP shall be able to receive the data contents of the MSD and present them to the eCall PSAP operator clearly and understandably.
4. The eCall PSAP shall have access to an appropriate Geographical Information System (GIS) or an equivalent system allowing the eCall PSAP operator to identify the position and heading of the vehicle to a minimum degree of accuracy as defined in EN 15722 for the MSD coordinates.
5. The abovementioned requirements shall enable the eCall PSAP to provide location, type of eCall activation (manual or automatic) and other relevant data to the appropriate emergency service(s) or service partner(s).
6. The eCall PSAP (initially receiving the eCall) shall establish audio communication with the vehicle and handle the eCall data; if necessary, the eCall PSAP may reroute the call and MSD data to another PSAP, emergency control centre or service partner according to national procedures determined by the national authority. Rerouting may be done via data or audio connection, or, preferably, both.
7. When appropriate, and depending on national procedures and legislation, the eCall PSAP and appropriate emergency service(s) or service partner(s) may be granted access to the characteristics of the vehicle contained in national databases and/or other relevant resources, in order to obtain information that is necessary for dealing with an eCall, notably to allow the interpretation of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the presentation of additional relevant information, particularly vehicle type and model.
Conformity assessment
Member States shall designate the authorities that are competent for assessing the conformity of the operations of the eCall PSAPs with the requirements listed in Article 3 and shall notify them to the Commission. Conformity assessment shall be based on the part of the standard ‘Intelligent transport systems — eSafety — eCall end to end conformance testing’ (EN 16454) that relates to PSAPs conformance to pan-European eCall.
Obligations linked to the deployment of the eCall PSAPs infrastructure
Member States shall ensure that this Regulation is applied when the eCall PSAPs infrastructure for the handling of the interoperable EU-wide eCall is deployed, in accordance with the principles for specifications and deployment laid down in Annex II to Directive 2010/40/EU. This is without prejudice to the right of each Member State to decide on the deployment of the eCall PSAPs infrastructure for the handling of the interoperable EU-wide eCall on its territory. This right is without prejudice to any legislative act adopted under the second subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Directive 2010/40/EU.
Rules on privacy and data protection
1. The PSAPs, including eCall PSAPs, shall be regarded as data controllers within the meaning of Article 2(d) of Directive 95/46/EC. Where the eCall data is to be sent to other emergency control centres or service partners pursuant to Article 3(5), the latter shall also be considered as data controllers. Member States shall ensure that the processing of personal data in the context of the handling of the eCalls by the PSAPs, the emergency services and service partners is carried out in accordance with Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC, and that this compliance is demonstrated to the national data protection authorities.
2. In particular, Member States shall ensure that personal data are protected against misuse, including unlawful access, alteration or loss, and that protocols concerning personal data storage, retention duration, processing and protection are established at the appropriate level and properly observed.
Rules on liability
1. The eCall PSAPs must be able to demonstrate to the competent authorities that they meet all specified conformance requirements of the eCall standards listed in Article 3(1) in respect of the part(s) of the system under their design and/or control. They shall be liable only for that part of the eCalls for which they are responsible, which starts at the time the eCalls reach the eCall PSAP, in accordance with national procedures.
2. To that end, and in addition to other existing measures related to the handling of 112 calls in particular, both the raw MSD received with the eCall and the MSD contents presented to the eCall operator shall be retained for a determined period of time, in accordance with national regulations. Such data shall be stored in accordance with Articles 6, 13 and 17 of Directive 95/46/EC.
Reporting
Member States shall report to the Commission by 23 October 2013 on the state of implementation of this Regulation. This report shall include at least the list of competent authorities for assessing the conformity of the operations of the eCall PSAPs, the list and geographical coverage of the eCall PSAPs, a schedule of deployment during the ensuing two years, the description of the conformance tests and the description of the privacy and data protection protocols.

laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery products originating in the Republic of Turkey
(notified under document number C(2002) 14/4)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/27/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An inspection has been carried out on behalf of the Commission in the Republic of Turkey to verify the conditions under which fishery products are produced, stored and dispatched to the Community.
(2) The provisions of Turkish legislation on health inspection and monitoring of fishery products may be considered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(3) In particular the General Directorate of Protection and Control (GDPC) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is capable of effectively verifying the application of the laws in force.
(4) It is appropriate to lay down detailed rules concerning the health certificate which must, under Directive 91/493/EEC, accompany consignments of fishery products imported into the Community from Turkey. In particular these rules must specify the definition of a model certificate, the minimum requirements regarding the language or languages in which it must be drafted and the status of the person empowered to sign it.
(5) The mark which must be affixed to packages of fishery products should give the name of the third country and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin, except for certain frozen products.
(6) Pursuant to Article 11(4)(c) of Directive 91/493/EEC a list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores must be drawn up, and a list of freezer vessels equipped in accordance with the points 1 to 7 of Annex II to Council Directive 92/48/EEC(3) must also be drawn up. These lists must be drawn up on the basis of a communication from the GDPC to the Commission. It is therefore for the GDPC to ensure compliance with the provisions laid down to that end in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(7) The GDPC has provided official assurances regarding compliance with the rules set out in Chapter V of the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC, and regarding the fulfilment of hygienic requirements equivalent to those laid down by that Directive.
(8) In addition, where the fishery products are frozen or processed bivalve molluscs the raw material shall be obtained from approved production areas as laid down by the Annex B to Commission Decision 94/777/EC of 30 November 1994 laying down special conditions for the import of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods originating in Turkey(4), as last amended by Decision 1999/767/EC(5), and they shall be sterilised or heat treated according to the requirements of Decision 93/25/EEC of 11 December 1992 approving certain treatments to inhibit the development of pathogenic micro-organisms in bivalve molluscs and marine gastropods(6), as last amended by Decision 97/275/EC(7).
(9) Since the health certification of the above products will fall under the scope of the present Decision, Commission Decision 94/778/EC of 30 November 1994 laying down special conditions for the import of frozen or processed bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods originating in Turkey(8), as last amended by Decision 1999/767/EC, shall be repealed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The General Directorate of Protection and Control (GDPC) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shall be the competent authority in Turkey for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.
Fishery and aquaculture products originating in Turkey must meet the following conditions:
1. each consignment must be accompanied by a numbered original health certificate, duly completed, signed, dated and comprising a single sheet in accordance with the model in Annex A hereto;
2. the products must come from approved establishments, factory vessels or cold stores, or from registered freezer vessels listed in Annex B hereto;
3. except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and intended for the manufacture of preserved foods, all packages must bear the word "TURKEY" and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in indelible letters.
1. Certificates as referred to in Article 2(1) must be drawn up in at least one official language of the Member State where the checks are carried out.
2. Certificates must bear the name, capacity and signature of the representative of the GDPC and the latter's official stamp in a colour different from that of other endorsements.
Decision 94/778/EC is hereby repealed.
This Decision shall apply from the 60th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that were extant at 14 September 2002 were adopted.
(2) On 24 November 2005, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published IFRIC Interpretation 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, hereinafter ‘IFRIC 7’. IFRIC 7 clarifies the requirements under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies relating to issues that companies had regarding how a company should restate its financial statements pursuant to IAS 29 in the first year it identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency.
(3) On 15 December 2005, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates — Net Investment in a Foreign Operation, to clarify its requirements regarding an entity's investment in foreign operations. Companies had raised concerns relating to loans that form part of a company's investment in a foreign operation as IAS 21 included provisions requiring the loan to be denominated in the functional currency of either the company or the foreign operation in order that the exchange differences arising could be recognised in the equity section of the consolidated financial statements. However, in practice the loan may be denominated in another (third) currency. The IASB concluded that it had not intended to impose this restriction, therefore published this amendment to permit the loan to be denominated in a third currency.
(4) The consultation with technical experts in the field confirm that IFRIC 7 and the Amendment to IAS 21 meet the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 is amended as follows:
1. International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee’s (IFRIC) Interpretation 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, is inserted as set out in the Annex to this Regulation;
2. International Accounting Standard (IAS) 21 is amended in accordance with the Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates — Net Investment in a Foreign Operation, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
1. Each company shall apply IFRIC 7 as set out in the Annex to this Regulation as from the commencement date of its 2006 financial year at the latest, except for companies with a January or February commencement date shall apply IFRIC 7 as from the commencement date of its 2007 financial year at the latest.
2. Each company shall apply the Amendment to IAS 21 as set out in the Annex to this Regulation as from the commencement date of its 2006 financial year at the latest.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 18 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Articles 10(2) and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The first subparagraph of Article 8(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (3) states that export licences for the products referred to in that subparagraph must be issued on the third working day after applications are lodged, provided that no special measures are taken in the meanwhile. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1819/2004 (4) derogates from this provision so as to take into account the supply situation on the Community market in cereals and rice for the 2004/05 marketing year. Under this derogation, the licences in question are issued on the day the application is filed when the amount of the refund is zero.
(2) Since the market conditions justifying this derogation no longer apply, Regulation (EC) No 1819/2004 should be repealed.
(3) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 June 2007
on the compatibility with Community law of measures taken by Finland pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities
(2007/481/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/552/EEC of 3 October 1989 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities (1), and in particular Article 3a(2) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC,
Whereas:
(1) By letter of 22 September 2006, received by the Commission on 2 October 2006, Finland notified to the Commission measures to be taken pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC.
(2) The Commission verified, within a period of three months from this notification, that such measures are compatible with Community law, in particular as regards the proportionality of the measures and the transparency of the national consultation procedure.
(3) In its examination, the Commission took into consideration the available data on the Finnish media landscape.
(4) The list of events of major importance for society included in the Finnish measures was drawn up in a clear and transparent manner and a far-reaching consultation had been launched in Finland.
(5) The Commission was satisfied that the events listed in the Finnish measures met at least two of the following criteria considered to be reliable indicators of the importance of events for society: (i) a special general resonance within the Member State and not simply a significance to those who ordinarily follow the sport or activity concerned; (ii) a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the population in the Member State, in particular as a catalyst of cultural identity; (iii) involvement of the national team in the event concerned in the context of a competition or tournament of international importance; and (iv) the fact that the event has traditionally been broadcast on free television and has commanded large television audiences.
(6) A number of the events listed in the Finnish measures, including the summer and winter Olympic Games, the opening match, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the World Cup as well as the matches of the Finnish team in that tournament, fall within the category of events traditionally considered of major importance for society, as referred to explicitly in recital 18 of Directive 97/36/EC. These events have a special general resonance in Finland, as they are particularly popular with the general public, not just with those who usually follow sport events.
(7) The men’s Ice Hockey World Championships, organised by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), have a special general resonance, as ice hockey is played actively by the Finnish people, and a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population in view of the great success of the Finnish team in this international tournament. Because of their specific organisation, the Ice Hockey World Championships should be treated as a single event in which matches between other countries also affect the position of teams against which Finland must or may play and the overall result.
(8) The Nordic World Ski Championships (cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined), organised by the International Ski Federation (FIS), have a special general resonance and a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population as a catalyst of cultural identity, as Nordic skiing enjoys the status of a national sport in Finland.
(9) The listed athletics events, namely the World Championships in Athletics, organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and the European Athletics Championships, organised by the European Athletics Association (EAA), have a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population as a catalyst of cultural identity, as the top Finnish athletes representing Finland internationally in a wide range of individual disciplines are among the world elite in their specialities.
(10) The listed events have traditionally been broadcast on free television and have commanded large television audiences.
(11) The Finnish measures appear proportionate so as to justify a derogation from the fundamental EC Treaty freedom to provide services on the basis of an overriding reason of public interest, which is to ensure wide public access to broadcasts of events of major importance for society.
(12) The Finnish measures are compatible with EC competition rules in that the definition of qualified broadcasters for the broadcasting of listed events relies on objective criteria that allow actual and potential competition for the acquisition of the rights to broadcast these events. In addition, the number of listed events is not disproportionate so as to distort competition on the downstream free television and pay-television markets.
(13) The proportionality of the Finnish measures is reinforced by the fact that they have no retroactive effect and thus have no impact on the exercise of the broadcasting rights to listed events acquired before the date of their entry into force.
(14) The Commission communicated the measures notified by Finland to the other Member States and presented the results of this verification at the meeting of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC of 15 November 2006. The Committee adopted a favourable opinion at this meeting.
(15) The Finnish measures were adopted on 22 February 2007 and entered into force on 1 March 2007,
The measures pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC notified by Finland to the Commission on 22 September 2006 are compatible with Community law.
The measures, as finally taken by Finland and set out in the Annex to this Decision, shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 3a(2) of Directive 89/552/EEC. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 75 (4) thereof,
Whereas point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 75 (4) provides for the possibility of suspending in whole or in part the customs duties applicable to products which are not subject to the common organization of markets and which are imported into the Community of Ten from Spain;
Whereas natural honey is subject to customs duties in the trade arrangements in question; whereas Spain has requested, on the basis of reciprocity, that these customs duties upon importation into the Community of Ten be suspended in whole for this product; whereas, given that the Community of Ten is not self-sufficient in natural honey, the customs duties in question should be totally suspended,
For natural honey falling with CN code 0409 00 00, the customs duties on import into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 from Spain shall be suspended in whole.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Agency’s recommendation No ERA/REC/XA/01-2009 of 17 April 2009,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) requires the European Railway Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) to review, by 19 January 2009, the list of parameters in Section 1 of Annex VII to Directive 2008/57/EC and to make the recommendations it considers appropriate to the Commission.
(2) As the current Section 1 of Annex VII of Directive 2008/57/EC contains items that are not parameters of vehicles, such items should be removed.
(3) Section 1 of the said Annex also contains parameters that primarily relate only to the rolling stock subsystem part of a vehicle. It is necessary for all the parameters of a vehicle that are to be checked in connection with the authorisation for placing in service and the classification of national rules to be covered by the list of parameters. Therefore parameters of other subsystems that are part of the vehicle should be included.
(4) Directive 2008/57/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
Section 1 of Annex VII to Directive 2008/57/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed to comply with this Directive by 19 July 2010. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

(1) Regulation (EU) No 439/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) provides that the European Asylum Support Office shall be open to the participation of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland as observers. Furthermore, that Regulation provides that arrangements shall be made, specifying in particular the nature, extent and manner in which those countries are to participate in the European Asylum Support Office's work.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 97/78/EC lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Union from third countries.
(2) Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which are to be subjected to border veterinary checks and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union.
(3) Accordingly, Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (2) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks, while Part I of Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw.
(4) Ukraine has recently requested the authorisation to export pelleted straw to the Union and has asked to be included in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004.
(5) Belarus is already listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 and is authorised to export hay and straw of any kind to the Union. However, some Member States have outlined concerns in relation to the changed animal health situation in Belarus, referring to outbreaks of African swine fever. They fear that the export of unprocessed hay and straw from that third country may pose a high animal health risk to the Union. It has thus been requested to adopt precautionary measures through the adoption of more restrictive import conditions for hay and straw from Belarus.
(6) Analysis shows that the animal health situation in Belarus and Ukraine does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases into the Union, if only pelleted straw intended for combustion is allowed for import, provided it is directly delivered from the approved border inspection post (BIP) of entry into the Union to the destination plant where it is going to be burned. To ensure that such consignments do not present a risk to animal health being deviated from their intended destination, they need to be moved under customs transit procedure, as provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (3), and be monitored in the integrated computerised veterinary system (TRACES) accordingly from the BIP of entry to the destination plant.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| 3.9.2011 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 228/19
COUNCIL DECISION
of 2 September 2011
partially suspending the application of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Syrian Arab Republic
(2011/523/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On the 18 January 1977, the European Economic Community and the Syrian Arab Republic concluded a Cooperation Agreement (1) (‧the Cooperation Agreement‧) to promote overall cooperation with a view to strengthening relations between the Parties.
(2) The Cooperation Agreement is based on the common desire of the Parties to maintain and strengthen friendly relations in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter.
(3) Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the Treaty on European Union, in its relations with the wider world, the Union is notably to contribute to peace, security and the protection of human rights as well as to the strict observance and the development of international law, including respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter.
(4) Pursuant to Article 21(1) of the Treaty on European Union, the Union's action on the international scene is to be guided by the principles which have inspired its own creation, development and enlargement, and which it seeks to advance in the wider world: democracy, the rule of law, the universality and indivisibility of human rights and fundamental freedoms, respect for human dignity, the principle of equality and solidarity, and respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
(5) Since March 2011, protests grew against specific abuses of power by Syrian officials against the general backdrop of growing economic and political discontent. Cautious protests which began in marginalised regions developed into a countrywide uprising. The Syrian authorities have responded, and continue to respond, in a very violent manner including by the shooting of peaceful protestors.
(6) On 18 August 2011, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights issued a statement to the Human Rights Council 17th Special Session on the "Situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic" in which she recalled that, in its report of 18 August, the fact-finding mission to Syria requested by the Human Rights Council had found a pattern of widespread or systematic human rights violations by Syrian security and military forces, including murder, enforced disappearances, torture, deprivation of liberty, and persecution. The High Commissioner considered that the scale and nature of these acts may amount to crimes against humanity and urged the members of the Security Council to consider referring the current situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court.
(7) On the same day, the Union condemned the brutal campaign being waged by Bashar Al-Assad and his regime against their own people which had led to the killing or injury of many Syrian citizens. The Union has repeatedly emphasised that the brutal repression must be stopped, detained protesters released, free access by international humanitarian and human rights organisations and media allowed, and a genuine and inclusive national dialogue launched. The Syrian leadership, however, has remained defiant in the face of calls from the Union and the broader international community.
(8) On 23 August 2011, the Human Rights Council adopted a Resolution on grave human rights violations in the Syrian Arab Republic in which it strongly condemned the continued grave human rights violations by the Syrian authorities, reiterated its call upon the Syrian authorities to comply with their obligations under international law, stressed the need for an international, transparent, independent and prompt investigation into alleged violations of international law, including actions that may constitute crimes against humanity and to hold those responsible to account, and decided to dispatch an independent international commission of inquiry to investigate violations of international human rights law in Syria.
(9) According to the Preamble of the Cooperation Agreement, both Parties wished, by concluding the Agreement, to demonstrate their common desire to maintain and strengthen friendly relations in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter. In the current circumstances, the Union considers that the current situation in Syria is in clear violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter which constitute the basis of the cooperation between Syria and the Union.
(10) Considering the extreme seriousness of the violations perpetrated by Syria in breach of general international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, the Union has decided to adopt additional restrictive measures against the Syrian regime.
(11) In this regard, the application of the Cooperation Agreement should be partially suspended until the Syrian authorities put an end to the systematic violations of human rights and can again be considered as being in compliance with general international law and the principles which form the basis of the Cooperation Agreement.
(12) Considering that the suspension should aim at targeting the Syrian authorities only and not the people of Syria, the suspension should be limited. Since crude oil and petroleum products are at present the products whose trade most benefits the Syrian regime and which thus supports its repressive policies, the suspension of the Agreement should be limited to crude oil and petroleum products,
Articles 12, 14 and 15 of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Syrian Arab Republic are suspended in so far as the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision are concerned.
This Decision shall be notified to the Syrian Arab Republic.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.090909 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.090909 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.818182 | 0 |

of 14 October 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (1) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the DCI’), and in particular Article 1(1) and Article 31(1) subparagraph 3 thereof,
Whereas:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 572/2012
of 28 June 2012
making imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China subject to registration
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the judgment of the European Court of Justice (‧ECJ‧) of 22 March 2012 in Case C-338/10,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 10(4) and 14(5) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
The European Commission (‧the Commission‧) has received a request, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, to make imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration.
A. PRODUCT CONCERNED
(1) The product concerned by this registration is prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, currently falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90 (TARIC codes 2008309061, 2008309063, 2008309065, 2008309067, 2008309069) originating in the People's Republic of China.
B. THE COURT JUDGEMENT
(2) On 22 March 2012, in Case C-338/10, the European Court of Justice (‧ECJ‧) declared Council Regulation (EC) No 1355/2008 of 18 December 2008 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China (2) (‧definitive anti-dumping Regulation‧ or ‧the contested Regulation‧) invalid.
(3) The ECJ judgment was based on the ground that the Commission had not taken all due care to determine the normal value on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country as prescribed by Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
(4) As a consequence of that judgment, imports into the European Union of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) are no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1355/2008.
(5) Following the ECJ judgment, the Commission has thus decided to reopen the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China initiated pursuant to the basic Regulation. The reopening is limited in scope to the implementation of the finding of the ECJ as recalled above. (3)
C. REQUEST
(6) Following the ECJ judgement, the Spanish National Federation of Associations of Processed Fruit and Vegetables (‧FENAVAL‧, previously named ‧FNACV‧) (‧the applicant‧) requested that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION
(7) The applicant submitted that the declaration of invalidity by the ECJ of the anti-dumping measures concerned more than one and a half year before their envisaged expiry, for reasons other than the absence of dumping and subsequent injury, heavily jeopardizes its viability. In this respect it pointed in particular at the immediate risk of significant stockpiling of imports concerned, as had already been seen in the past. It therefore requested the registration of such imports.
(8) According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.
(9) The request contains sufficient evidence to justify registration. It should be recalled that the the product is seasonal and fungible, that it is normally canned and that it can easily be stored for extended periods and easily transported. All this makes it possible to rapidly build-up inventories.
(10) In Commission Regulation (EC) No 642/2008, which imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of the product concerned, it was already described that, prior to the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, imports of the product concerned had also increased very sharply within a relatively short period (4). The applicant's fear that a surge of imports is to reoccur now that the measures have been found to be invalid is therefore considered justified. It is corroborated by statistical data from Member States which already reported a very sharp increase in imports in March 2012, to levels twice as high as in March 2011 and 3-4 times higher than in any other preceding month in 2011 and 2012.
(11) The ECJ judgement is limited to the determination of the normal value on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country. Therefore, the existence of injury is not challenged. In its request, the applicant also pointed at the immediate risk of severe injury to the EU industry as importers would still be able to switch from EU products to Chinese products, leaving EU industry with massive stocks in their warehouses.
(12) In view of the above it is considered that the remedial effect of any definitive anti-dumping duties is likely to be seriously undermined, unless such duties would be applied retroactively. Accordingly, the conditions for registration in this case are met.
E. PROCEDURE
(13) In view of the above, the Commission has concluded that the applicant's request contains sufficient evidence to make imports of the product concerned subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(14) All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
F. REGISTRATION
(15) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the reopened investigation result in findings leading to the re-imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Any future liability would emanate from the findings of the reopened anti-dumping investigation.
G. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(16) Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5),
1. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the European Union of prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, currently falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90 (TARIC codes 2008309061, 2008309063, 2008309065, 2008309067, 2008309069) originating in the People's Republic of China. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
2. All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing, to provide supporting evidence or to request to be heard within 20 days from the date of publication of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
