THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provision must be made for the classification of articles made from yarn, twine, cordage, rope or cables, knotted by hand according to the macramé lace technique, which are in the form of hanging plant pot holders, for example, and are used mainly for interior decoration;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3333/83 (3), includes under heading No 59.06 'other articles made from yarn, twine, cordage, rope or cables, other than textile fabrics and articles made from such fabrics', under heading No 62.02 inter alia 'curtains and other furnishing articles' and under heading No 62.05 'other made-up textile articles';
Whereas, in accordance with note 1 (A) to Chapter 59, the expression 'textile fabric' is to be taken to apply, among other things, to the lace of heading No 58.09; whereas as the products in question are made according to the macramé lace technique which is appropriate to goods falling within heading No 58.09 they cannot be classified under heading No 59.06;
Whereas, with the exception of lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs, lace articles are classified under Chapters 61 or 62 according to type;
Whereas for the purpose of classifying the products in question, which are neither articles of apparel nor clothing accessories as covered by Chapter 61, Chapter 62 must be taken into consideration;
Whereas these products present the characteristics of furnishing articles, and they are therefore to be classified in tariff subheading 62.02 B IV;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Articles made from yarn, twine, cordage, rope or cables, knotted by hand according to the macramé lace technique, which are in the form of hanging plant pot holders, for example, and are used mainly for interior decoration, shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under subheading:
62.02 Bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen; curtains and other furnishing articles:
B. Other:
IV. Curtains and other furnishing articles

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 108(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1) By electronic notification dated 17 May 2010, the Romanian authorities notified to the Commission, in accordance with Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter ‘TFEU’), an aid scheme providing for public support in favour of regional airports. The notification has been registered under case number N 185/10.
(2) The Commission requested additional information on the proposed measure on 23 June 2010, 7 October 2010, 3 December 2010 and 17 March 2011. The Romanian authorities provided the information requested on 22 July 2010, 27 October 2010, 20 January 2011 and 5 April 2011.
(3) On 15 September 2010 the Romanian authorities informed the Commission of certain changes to the notified scheme, in particular as regards the number of beneficiaries.
(4) By letter of 24 May 2011 the Commission informed the Romanian authorities that it had decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure provided for by Article 108(2) TFEU in respect of the notified aid and other measures in favour of airports (hereinafter ‘the opening decision’) (1). The Commission subsequently adopted a corrigendum to that decision on 23 June 2011.
(5) The opening decision was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.
(6) By letters of 27 June 2011, 5 July 2011, and 19 August 2011, Romania submitted its comments on the opening decision.
(7) The Commission received comments from three interested parties, namely Carpatair (an airline operating at Timișoara airport), Cluj-Napoca airport and the Romanian Association of Airports. The comments of the interested parties concerned both the notified scheme and the additional public funding granted to the airports as of Romania's accession to the EU in order to cover operating losses.
(8) By letters dated 16 September 2011, the Commission forwarded the comments of the interested parties to Romania.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTIFIED MEASURE
(9) The notified measure concerns the public financing of infrastructure investments at small regional airports.
(10) The notified measure aims to support the observance of aviation safety standards at Romanian regional airports, the development of safe and viable air transport infrastructure, and improved accessibility and regional development.
(11) During the preliminary assessment phase, the Romanian authorities have clarified that regional airports in Romania are generally loss-making and that their operating losses are covered every year by the State. The Romanian authorities have provided the Commission with a comprehensive list of the public financing made available to airports in category D as of Romania's accession to the EU.
(12) The Romanian authorities have indicated that the subsidies granted annually to the airports reached, for the most part, the level of aid exempted from the notification requirement on the basis of Commission Decision 2005/842/EC of 28 November 2005 on the application of Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty (now Article 106(2) TFEU) to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest (3) (hereinafter ‘the SGEI Decision’).
(13) The only exception would be the public financing granted to Timișoara airport, which, according to the Romanian authorities, does not constitute aid in so far as the measure complies with the market economy investor test. The public financing granted to Timișoara airport is the object of a separate assessment by the Commission.
3. WITHDRAWAL OF THE NOTIFICATION
(14) By letter dated 25 July 2011, the Romanian authorities withdrew their notification under SA. 30931 concerning the financing scheme for infrastructure investments in Romanian small regional airports. The Romanian authorities have announced their intention to finance such airports in compliance with the provisions of the Community Guidelines on financing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports (4) (hereinafter ‘the Aviation Guidelines’) and the SGEI Decision.
(15) The Aviation Guidelines recognise that certain activities carried out by airports, and in exceptional cases even the overall management of an airport, can constitute services of general economic interest (hereinafter ‘SGEI’). In such a case, the public authority imposes on the airport operator certain public service obligations and the latter may be compensated for the additional costs deriving from the discharge of those obligations.
(16) The SGEI Decision applies to public service compensations granted to undertakings with an average annual turnover before tax, all activities included, of less than EUR 100 million in the two financial years preceding that in which the service of general economic interest was assigned, which receive annual compensation, for the service in question, of less than EUR 30 million, as well as to public service compensations for airports with average annual flows not exceeding one million passengers in the two financial years preceding that in which the service of general economic interest was assigned. Where the conditions set out in the SGEI Decision are met, public service compensations are compatible with the internal market and exempted from the requirement of notification provided for by Article 108(3) TFEU.
(17) According to Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 (now Article 88) of the EC Treaty (5), the Member State concerned may withdraw the notification in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid. According to Article 8(2) of the abovementioned regulation, in cases where the Commission has opened the formal investigation procedure, the Commission shall close the procedure.
(18) Due to the fact that Romania has withdrawn its notification and will finance regional airports in full compliance with the provisions of the Aviation Guidelines and the SGEI Decision, the Commission has decided to close the formal investigation procedure under Article 108(2) TFEU in respect of the notified measure.
(19) This decision is without prejudice to the other measures which form the object of the opening decision. Therefore, the formal investigation concerning those measures is still underway,
The Commission has decided to partially close the formal investigation procedure under Article 108(2) TFEU in respect of the notified scheme providing for public financing to support infrastructure improvements at small regional airports, as Romania has withdrawn its notification concerning the project in question.
This Decision is addressed to Romania. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 (1) of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, and in particular Article 3 thereof;
Whereas measures must be taken for the uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff as regards classification of residues resulting from the extraction of maize germ oil by solvents or compression;
Whereas heading No 23.04 of the Common Customs Tariff which is annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2) of 28 June 1968, as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1/74 (3) of 17 December 1973 covers residues resulting from the extraction of vegetable oils ; whereas the residues covered by this heading are the solid residues remaining after the extraction of oil from oil seed or oleaginous fruits by solvents or in a press or rotary expeller ; whereas they are composed of ligneous, albuminoid, amyloid and mineral substances with a small quantity of oil, and may be in the form of slabs (cakes) or meal, or may be pelletized;
Whereas the heading does not cover, under the term "residues", products from which oil can still economically be extracted, nor products containing substances (except in negligible quantities) which have not undergone an oil-extraction process and have been added to the residues themselves;
Whereas residues from the extraction of maize germ oil are obtained after extraction of the oil contained in maize germs either by solvents or compression ; whereas the products used for that extraction are often products made up of maize germs and of fragments of the endosperm and the pericarp of maize grains;
Whereas, by reason of the differences in the processes applied (solvent extraction or compression) and the different composition of the raw materials, the residues can be distinguished by the difference in the oil and protein content;
Whereas, for the purpose of distinguishing residues resulting from the extraction of maize germ oil, falling within subheading No 23.04 B, from products which have not undergone a complete maize germ oil extraction process and from products containing, in addition to the actual residues, ingredients which have undergone no oil extraction process, the minimum and maximum starch, oil and protein contents must be determined ; whereas in the present state of technical progress in this field, these contents, calculated by weight on the dry product, may be set as follows: (a) for residues obtained by solvent extraction: - starch : less than 45 %
- protein (nitrogen content x 6.25) : not less than 11.5 %
- oil : less than 3 %
(b) for residues obtained by compression: - starch : less than 45 %
- protein (nitrogen content x 6.25) : not less than 13 %
- oil : not less than 3 % but not more than 8 %;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Residues resulting from the extraction, by solvents or by compression, of maize germ oil shall fall within subheading No 23.04 B of the Common Customs Tariff only where they contain the following ingredients in the quantities specified, calculated by weight on the dry product: 1. Products of an oil content of less than 3 %: - starch content : less than 45 %
- protein content (nitrogen content x 6.25) : not less than 11.5 %. (1)OJ No 14, 21.1.1969, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 172, 22.7.1968, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 1, 1.1.1974, p. 1.
2. Products of an oil content of not less than 3 % and not more than 8 %: - starch content : less than 45 %
- protein content (nitrogen content x 6.25) : not less than 13 %.
Moreover, such residues shall not contain ingredients which are not obtained from maize grains.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1974.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in partcular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it falls to the Council to prepare, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of the report drawn up by the Scientific and Technical Fisheries Committee, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of the said Regulation;
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources of the sea;
Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, hereinafter referred to as the NAFO Convention, was approved by the Council in its Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (2) and entered into force on 1 January 1979;
Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in international waters;
Whereas conservation efforts should be assessed on the basis of relevant scientific data so as to permit the implementation of conservation measures suited to the biological situation of stocks and their foreseeable development depending on the various options for exploiting them;
Whereas the present state of biological data as analyzed by international scientific organizations and the conclusions which may be drawn therefrom should be taken as a basis for formulating choices regarding the management of stocks;
Whereas the extent to which such stocks are fished by the fleets of the Member States should be viewed in the light of overall fishing activity, and the contribution made hitherto by the Community towards their conservation should be taken into account;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it falls to the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and also the specific conditions under which the catches must be made;
Whereas the fishing activities covered by this Regulation are subject to the control measures provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4027/86 (4),

of 20 January 2011
concerning the non-inclusion of 1,3-dichloropropene in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC
(notified under document C(2011) 119)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/36/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2007/619/EC (2) it was decided not to include the active substance 1,3-dichloropropene in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That Decision was taken within the framework of the second stage of the programme of work provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (3) and (EC) No 703/2001 (4) which lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and which establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) The original notifier submitted a new application pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and 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). It requested the application of the accelerated procedure pursuant to Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and submitted an updated dossier. The application was submitted to Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.
(3) That application complies with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and was submitted within the time period provided for in the second sentence of Article 13 of that Regulation.
(4) Spain evaluated the new information and data submitted by the notifier and prepared an additional report on 15 April 2009.
(5) The additional report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘EFSA’, and presented to the Commission on 30 September 2009 in the format of the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene (6). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 9 July 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 1,3-dichloropropene.
(6) The new assessment by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the EFSA concentrated on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion, which were due to the release in the environment of large amounts of known and unknown polychlorinated impurities, for which no information on persistency, toxicological behaviour, uptake from crops, accumulation, metabolic fate and residue level were available, as well as to the inconclusive nature of the consumer risk assessment and to the risk of groundwater potential contamination, for birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and other non-target organism.
(7) New data and information were submitted by the notifier in the updated dossier to address the concerns which lead to the non-inclusion, in particular as regards the identity of a number of impurities, the level of residues expected in crops, the risk to groundwater contamination and the risk to birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target organisms. A new assessment was performed, as included in the additional report and in the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene.
(8) However, the additional data and information provided by the notifier did not permit to eliminate all the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion.
(9) In particular, there is a concern for the consumer exposure in relation to 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities. Furthermore, the potential contamination of groundwater in relation to 1,3-dichloropropene, its relevant toxic breakdown product (EZ)-3-chloroacrylic acid and 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities were not adequately addressed and there is a potential for long-range transport through the atmosphere of 10 manufacturing impurities. In addition, the risk to non-target organisms was not demonstrated to be acceptable.
(10) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the notifier to submit comments on the draft review report. The notifier submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.
(11) However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene satisfy in general the conditions laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(12) 1,3-dichloropropene should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(13) Decision 2007/619/EC should be repealed.
(14) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of a further application for 1,3-dichloropropene pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(15) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. On the expiry of the period laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 19(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed implementing act nor indicated its opposition to the proposal for implementing measures and it is accordingly for the Commission to adopt these measures,
1,3-dichloropropene shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Decision 2007/619/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 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 Regulation (EC) 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live birds other than poultry, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds).
(2) Commission Decision 2000/666/EC of 16 October 2000 laying down the animal health requirements and the veterinary certification for the import of birds, other than poultry and the conditions for quarantine (2) provides that Member States are to authorise the import of birds from the third countries listed as members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The countries listed in the Annex to the present Decision are members of the OIE and accordingly Member States are required to accept imports of birds, other than poultry, from those countries under Decision 2000/666/EC.
(3) Where necessary, reference should also be made to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (3).
(4) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC provides for different veterinary control regimes depending on the number of animals. It is appropriate to use those differentiations in number for the sake of this Decision.
(5) Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (4) requires imported animals to undergo the checks in accordance with Council Directive 91/496/EEC.
(6) In accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 the safeguard measures taken in accordance with Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (5), and in particular Article 18 (1) thereof, shall apply.
(7) Highly pathogenic avian influenza was detected in imported birds in quarantine in a Member State, it appears therefore appropriate to suspend movement of pet birds from certain areas at risk and to use for the definition of the areas a reference to the relevant Regional Commissions of the OIE.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Movement from third countries

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2) and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/855/EC of 3 November 2008 concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (3) lays down certain control measures in relation to classical swine fever in the Member States or regions thereof set out in the Annex to that Decision.
(2) The Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC comprises three parts, depending on the epidemiological situation in the areas listed therein. Parts I and II of that Annex list the areas in the Member States where the epidemiological situation with regard to feral pigs is considered to be most favourable.
(3) Although feral pigs are included in the scope of Decision 2008/855/EC, the control measures provided for in that Decision are primarily targeting pigs from holdings and products derived therefrom.
(4) Commission Decision 2002/106/EC (4) sets out the diagnostic procedures, sampling methods and criteria for evaluation of the laboratory tests for the confirmation of classical swine fever.
(5) In order to better control the spread of classical swine fever, it is appropriate to provide for certain animal health control measures targeting the feral pig population affected by that disease. In particular, a prohibition on the dispatch from the areas listed in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC of consignments of live feral pigs and of fresh meat, meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing such meat should be laid down.
(6) It is however appropriate to permit that consignments of fresh meat of feral pigs, meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing such meat be dispatched from those areas to other areas not listed in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC, provided that virological tests are performed in accordance with Decision 2002/106/EC, that the results of those tests are negative and that the competent veterinary authority of the place of destination gives its prior approval.
(7) Decision 2008/855/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The following Article 8b is inserted in Decision 2008/855/EC:
‘Article 8b
Measures relating to live feral pigs, fresh meat, meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat from feral pigs
1. The Member States concerned with areas listed in the Annex shall ensure that:
(a) no live feral pigs from the areas listed in the Annex are dispatched to other Member States or to other areas in the territory of the same Member State;
(b) no consignments of fresh meat of feral pigs, meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing such meat from the areas listed in the Annex are dispatched to other Member States or to other areas in the territory of the same Member State.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1(b), the Member States concerned with areas listed in Parts I and II of the Annex may authorise the dispatch of consignments of fresh meat of feral pigs, meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing such meat from those areas to other areas not listed in the Annex, provided that:
(a) the pigs have been tested with negative results for classical swine fever according to any of the diagnostic procedures described in Part A(1), Part B or Part C of Chapter VI of the Annex to Decision 2002/106/EC;
(b) the competent authority of the place of destination gives its prior approval.’

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2207/90
of 24 July 1990
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for heifers and cows, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain mountain breeds
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 Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the European Economic Community undertook, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota of 20 000 head at a duty of 6 % for heifers and cows, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain mountain breeds; whereas, in an Exchange of Letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972, the Community undertook unilaterally to increase the size of the tariff quota from 20 000 to 30 000 head and to lower the quota duty from 6 % to 4 %; whereas, subsequently, this quota was increased unilaterally to 38 000 head; whereas according to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning agriculture of 14 July 1986, which was approved by Decision 86/555/EEC (1), the volume of this tariff quota was raised to 42 600 head as from 1 July 1986; whereas the abovementioned tariff quota should therefore be opened for the period 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 at a duty of 4 % for a quantity of 42 600 head; whereas it is, however, necessary to envisage special provisions allowing for facilitated access by the Portuguese Republic to the said quota; whereas a check should be carried out to ascertain that the imported animals have not been slaughtered within a certain period;
Whereas it is, in particular, necessary to ensure equal and continuous access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota, and the uninterrupted application of the quota duties, to all imports of the animals in question until the quota is exhausted; whereas the necessary measures should be taken to ensure efficient administration of this tariff quota, taking into account the Community nature of the quota and special factors in the trade in these animals; whereas to this end the Commission should assign to the Member States on request the quantities needed to cover actual imports in accordance with an economically appropriate procedure to be determined;
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 quantities levied by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991, the duty applicable to the import into the Community of the animals designed hereafter shall be suspended at the level and within the limits of the Community tariff quota indicated.

0102 90 31 * 11, 19, 31 and 39,
0102 90 33 * 10 and 30.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the Act of Accession.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, the animals referred to in paragraph 1 shall be considered not intended for slaughter if they are not slaughtered within four months of the date of the acceptance of the entry for release for free circulation.
Derogations may, however, be granted in the event of force majeure duly attested by a local authority certificate setting out the reasons for the slaughter.
1. The quota volume referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be further divided into two parts.
The first part, 85 % of the total, i. e. 36 210 head, shall be reserved for established importers who are able to furnish
proof of having imported animals of the breeds specified in the tariff quota in question during the previous three years, or, in the case of Spain, during the last two years.
With regard to Portugal, in the case of established importers, account shall be taken of animals referred to in Article 1 (1) in respect of which importers can prove, to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, that they were imported and that they were not slaughtered within four months following the date of the acceptance of the entry for release for free circulation.
The second part, of 15 %, i. e. 6 390 head, shall be reserved either for importers who undertake, when making an application, to keep the imported cattle in premises of which they have the use or for importers who have been conducting business in live bovine animals for a period of at least one year and are listed in a public register of the Member State or who can provide proof, recognized by the competent authority, of such conduct.
2. The 36 210 head shall be assigned to the various importers pro rata, in proportion to the scale of their previous imports over the three years under consideration or, in the case of Spain over the two years under consideration, or to the quantities applied for it they are less than previous imports while the 6 390 head shall be assigned to applicants pro rata, in proportion to the entitlement applied for by the importers. In the latter case:
(a) applications for quantities greater than 50 head shall be automatically reduced to that number;
(b) applications which would give rise to a certificate of participation covering a quantity of less than five head shall not be taken into account;
(c) quantities which have not been assigned, owing to the minimum five head limitation shall be assigned by drawing lots (with a figure of five head).
3. Any quantities of one of the parts of the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 not applied for shall be automatically transferred to the other part.
1. Applications to import under each part of the tariff quota, accompanied, where appropriate, by proof of previous imports, shall be made to the competent authorities in the Member States, in accordance with the procedures laid down and the deadline set by those authorities, by means of the document of release for free circulation, which shall be cancelled by the said authorities after being submitted as proof.
These authorities shall transmit to the Commission, not later than 31 July 1990, the data thus collected, and in particular:
- the number of applicants and the number of head applied for by each category of importer,
- the average of previous imports furnished by each applicant in respect of the 36 210 head reserved for estabished importers.
2. The Commission shall notify the Member States, by 10 August 1990, of the quantities to be assigned to each applicant, in the form, where necessary, of a percentage of the amount originally applied for, or of that applicant's previous imports.
3. On the basis of the data referred to in paragraph 2, Member States shall issue applicants with certificates specifiying the number of head to which they are entitled. The period of validity of the certificates may not go beyond 30 June 1991.
The entitlement certificates, a model of which is annexed to this Regulation, shall be issued upon provision of a security of ECU 20 per head, which shall be released once the certificates have been returned, complete with the customs stamps acknowledging the import of the animals, to the issuing authority.
An entitlement certificate shall not be transferable and shall entitle the bearer to benefit from the tariff quota only when made out in the same name as the entry for release for free circulation which accompanies it.
The rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (2), for the release of the security for the import certificates or its conversion into revenue shall apply to the security referred to in the second subparagraph.
4. Quantities which have not been the subject of the issue of entitlement certificates by 31 March 1991 shall be finally reassigned under the procedure described in the foregoing paragraphs to importers who have exhausted their own entitlements.
To this end, Member States shall notify the Commission by 10 April 1991 of the quantities remaining unused on 31 March 1991, and furnish the data specified in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1. The Commission shall set the new percentages for entitlements in each category and shall transmit them by not later than 15 April 1991 to the Member States, which shall then issue the entitlement certificates to the applicants under the conditions set out in paragraph 3, with a period of validity not extending beyond 30 June 1991.
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that access to the tariff quota in question is restricted to cattle as specified in Article 1 (1).
2. They shall ensure importers equal and continuous access to the tariff quota in question.
3. Depletion of the said quota shall be measured on the basis of imports submitted for customs clearance under cover of entries for release for free circulation.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are observed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1990.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 485/2007
of 30 April 2007
fixing the compensatory aid for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 12(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 12(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, compensatory aid to Community producers for any loss of income is calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income and the average production income from bananas produced and marketed in the Community during the year in question.
(2) As from 1 January 2007, Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2013/2006 no longer provides for the compensatory aid scheme for bananas. However, pursuant to the second indent of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2013/2006, Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 continues to apply in respect of the compensatory aid scheme for 2006.
(3) Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 of 9 July 1993 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector (2) fixes the flat-rate reference income at EUR 64,03 per 100 kilograms net weight of green bananas ex-packing shed.
(4) In 2006, the average production income, calculated on the basis of the average of the prices for bananas marketed outside the producer regions at the stage of delivery at first port of unloading (goods not unloaded), on the one hand, and the selling prices on local markets for bananas marketed in their producer region, on the other, less the flat-rate amounts laid down in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, was less than the flat-rate reference income fixed for 2006. The compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2006 should be fixed accordingly.
(5) Under the second subparagraph of Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where the average income from production is significantly lower than the average for the Community.
(6) The annual average production income from the marketing of bananas produced in Martinique, Guadeloupe and Crete and Lakonia has proved to be significantly lower than the Community average during 2006. As a result, supplementary aid should be granted in the producer regions of Martinique, Guadeloupe and Crete and Lakonia. In view of the data for 2006, which point to difficult marketing conditions, supplementary aid covering 75 % of the difference between the average income in the Community and the average income recorded on selling products in those regions should be fixed.
(7) Given that not all the necessary data were available, it has not hitherto been possible to determine the compensatory aid for 2006. Provision should be made for the balance of the aid for 2006 to be paid within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The compensatory aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for fresh bananas falling within CN code ex 0803, excluding plantain bananas, produced and marketed in the Community in 2006 shall be EUR 18,56 per 100 kilograms.
2. The aid fixed in paragraph 1 shall be increased by EUR 13,95 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Martinique, by EUR 15,42 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Guadeloupe and by EUR 3,58 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Crete and Lakonia.
Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the competent authorities of the Member States shall pay the balance of the compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2006 within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation, after the verifications provided for in that Article 10.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/2001(3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardized by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2002.

(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.

| Commission Decision
of 5 June 2002
accepting an undertaking in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of urea originating, inter alia, in Lithuania
(2002/498/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/1996(1) of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1497/2001(3) (the provisional Regulation) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of urea originating in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Libya, Lithuania, Romania and the Ukraine, and accepted an undertaking offered by an exporting producer in Bulgaria.
(2) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 92/2002(4) (the definitive Regulation), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of urea originating in Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Libya, Lithuania, Romania and the Ukraine and exempted a Bulgarian exporting producer from the said duties as an undertaking had been accepted by the Commission from the company concerned.
(3) During the investigation, prior to the imposition of provisional measures, the only Lithuanian exporting producer of the product concerned, Joint Stock Company Achema (Achema) had offered an undertaking, which could not be accepted by the Commission for the reasons set out in detail in recital 237 of the provisional Regulation.
(4) Following disclosure of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive duties, Achema presented to the Commission services within the deadlines stipulated, a revised offer for a price undertaking. This undertaking offer could not be accepted due to the fact that Achema also sold other fertilisers to the Community. The existence of sales of other fertilisers rendered the commitment to respect minimum prices for urea easy to circumvent by means of compensation with sales of those fertilisers at lower prices.
(5) Subsequently, Achema submitted a substantially revised undertaking offer. It is considered that the revised offer would not only eliminate the injurious effect of dumping but also seriously limit any risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products since, in addition to the minimum price set for urea, the company offered to respect a precise price level for the other fertilisers that it also exports to the Community. The company also accepted to respect the remaining formal requirements and reporting obligations usually stipulated in undertakings for all fertilisers exported to the Community.
(6) This final, acceptable, offer of a price undertaking was made by Achema prior to the publication of the definitive findings, but at such a late stage in the proceeding that it was administratively impossible to include its acceptance in the definitive Regulation. Exceptionally, and particularly taking account of the company's efforts throughout the proceeding to offer an undertaking which would overcome the Commissions concerns regarding the risk of circumvention and the elimination of injury, it is considered appropriate to accept the undertaking notwithstanding the fact that it was made after the period during which representations must be made pursuant to Article 20(5) of the Basic Regulation.
(7) The Community industry was informed of this revised offer and maintained its position that due to the general conditions in the fertiliser market which is characterised by significant price variations, any undertaking in the form of a minimum price would be inefficient and would undermine the anti-dumping measures imposed. It should be noted that although certain price variations have been observed on the urea market, these were not sufficient as to render any undertaking inefficient. This was also confirmed by the fact that an undertaking from a Bulgarian exporting producer concerned by the investigation which led to the imposition of definitive duties (the original investigation) had already been in place for several months and there were no indications that this undertaking has been inefficient. There is therefore no reason to believe that the undertaking offered by Achema would be inefficient.
(8) The Community industry also opposed to the acceptance of an undertaking so soon after the imposition of a definitive specific anti-dumping duty. It further alleged that the final undertaking proposal did not differ substantially from the previously refused offer made by the company, where it proposed to follow market prices for the other fertilisers exported to the Community.
(9) For the reasons explained in recitals 5 and 6, these arguments had to be rejected.
(10) Finally, the Community industry claimed that other products were produced by Achema which could be used for cross-compensation. In this respect it should be noted that the undertaking offer contains a clause for "the Company", i.e. Achema and any of its related companies, not to enter into compensatory arrangements in any form with its unrelated customers. Furthermore, under the proposed form of the undertaking the risk of cross-compensation is already limited.
(11) Finally, the Community industry claimed that accepting an undertaking from certain exporters would constitute an unjustified discrimination vis-Ă -vis other exporters concerned by the original investigation from which an undertaking had not been accepted.
(12) In this regard, it should be noted that each undertaking offer has to be examined on its own merits on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community. Thus, undertaking offers can only be accepted in cases where they eliminate the injurious dumping and allow effective monitoring. This was the case for Achema and for the Bulgarian company but not for the remaining companies which offered undertakings.
(13) Consequently, none of the arguments brought forward by the Community industry alter the Commissions conclusion that the undertaking offered by Achema eliminates the injurious effect of dumping and seriously limits any risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products.
B. UNDERTAKING
(14) In view of the foregoing, the Commission considers that the undertaking offered by Achema can be accepted since it eliminates the injurious effects of dumping. Moreover, the regular and detailed reports which the company undertook to provide to the Commission will allow effective monitoring. In addition, the price commitments the company undertook allow the Commission to conclude that the risk of circumvention of the undertaking will be adequately limited,
The undertaking offered in accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 by joint stock company, Achema, Lithuania (TARIC additional code A375), in the framework of the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of urea originating, inter alia, in Lithuania is hereby accepted.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 177/2011
of 24 February 2011
temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2010/2011 marketing year
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO’ Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 187 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) World cereal prices have increased extremely rapidly since the start of the 2010/11 marketing year, more than during the previous price increase in the 2007/8 marketing year. For example, world common wheat prices have increased by 65 % since July 2010. Since then cereal prices on the EU market have followed the same trend. The price of common wheat on the EU market has increased by over 90 % to stabilise at around EUR 280 per tonne. The price of other cereals on the EU market has followed the same trend, ‘Rouen delivered’ barley and ‘Bordeaux delivered’ maize being above EUR 215 per tonne. The trend in prices on the world cereal market is largely due to the failing ability of production to meet demand.
(2) The outlook for the global cereal market for the end of the 2010/11 marketing year suggests that these high prices will persist, global stocks being estimated at 342 million tonnes at the end of the 2010/11 marketing year, i.e. 62 million tonnes less than at the end of the 2009/10 marketing year.
(3) The reduced-duty import quota opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (2) for common wheat of low and medium quality and the reduced-duty import quota for feed barley opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 (3) were much under-used in 2010, with a percentage of 13 % and 5 % respectively. This under-use is set to continue in 2011, all the more so since the EU’s traditional suppliers — Russia and the Ukraine — have imposed restrictions on exports.
(4) The persistence of high world prices until the end of the 2010/11 marketing year and the expected under-use in 2011 of reduced-duty import quotas threatens to disrupt the availability of supply on the Union market in the last few months of the 2010/11 marketing year. In this context, in order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports which will help maintain EU market equilibrium, it is therefore considered appropriate to temporarily suspend customs duties for the import tariff quotas for common wheat of low and medium quality and feed barley opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003 respectively, until 30 June 2011, end of the 2010/11 marketing year.
(5) However, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the Union. Therefore, the time required for transport should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension regime provided for in this Regulation, for all products whose direct transport to the Union has started at the latest on 30 June 2011. The evidence to be provided showing direct transport to the Union and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. The application of customs duties on imports for products of CN codes 1001 90 99, of a quality other than high quality as defined in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (4), and CN 1003 00 is suspended for the 2010/11 marketing year for all imports under the reduced-duty tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003.
2. Where the cereals referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article undergo direct transport to the Union and such transport began at the latest by 30 June 2011, the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation shall continue to apply for the purposes of the release into free circulation of the products concerned.
Proof of direct transport to the Union and of the date on which the transport commenced shall be provided, to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities, by the original transport document.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply up to 30 June 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In February 1995, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Direct Remedy Against Unfair Merchandise Committee (DRUM) on behalf of Community producers of video cassette recorders and key components thereof. Having decided that the complaint was lodged on behalf of the Community industry and that there was sufficient evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom to justify the initiation of proceedings, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of anti-dumping proceedings concerning import of video cassette recorders originating in the Republic of Korea and Singapore and key components thereof originating in the Republic of Korea.
(2) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant of the initiation of the proceedings and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
(3) A number of producers in the countries concerned, their related importers in the Community, the complaining Community producers and one other Community producer replied to the questionnaire sent to them, made their views known in writing and requested a hearing.
(4) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of its investigation and carried out investigations at the premises of the Community producers, two producers in Korea, one producer in Singapore and a number of importers in the Community.
(5) The period used for the investigation of dumping was 1 January 1994 to 31 March 1995.
B. PRODUCTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
(6) The products under consideration, which are regarded as separate products for the purpose of these proceedings, are video cassette recorders and essential components thereof, i.e. scanners and video heads. The products fall under CN code 8521 10 38 (video cassette recorders) and CN code ex 8522 90 91 (components)
C. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
(7) The Commission, having concluded its investigation, informed the complainant of the results thereof. The complainant subsequently withdrew the complaint.
(8) The decision of the complainant is a sufficient ground to terminate the proceeding unless it is established that such termination would be contrary to the interest of the Community
The Commission has neither received nor is it aware of any indications in the present case that the termination of this proceeding would be against the interest of the Community.
(9) In these circumstances, it is considered that protective measures are unnecessary and that accordingly, the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of video cassette recorders originating in the Republic of Korea and Singapore and key components thereof originating in the Republic of Korea should be terminated without the imposition of such measures.
(10) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(11) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceedings and no comments were offered thereon,
The anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of video cassette recorders originating in the Republic of Korea and Singapore and key components thereof originating in the Republic of Korea are hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 establishes the criteria for fixing aid for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of dried grapes of the sultana and Muscatel varieties and currants;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 provides for the possibility to differentiate the amount of aid on the basis of the varieties of grapes and on other factors which may affect yield; whereas in the case of sultanas provision should be made for further differentiation between areas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years, and other areas;
Whereas, however, it is appropriate to provide that areas having a yield lower than a threshold differentiated for the varieties concerned shall not be considered as specialised areas for the application of the aid arrangements; whereas, therefore, aid shall not be granted for the cultivation of such areas;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera under the conditions laid down in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96;
Whereas verification of the areas used for growing these grapes has revealed no overrun of the maximum guaranteed area fixed in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2911/90 of 9 October 1990 laying down detailed rules of application for aid for the production of certain varieties of grapes for drying (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2614/95 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1998/99 marketing year, which lasts from 1 September 1998 to 31 August 1999, the per hectare aid for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of dried grapes of the sultana and Muscatel varieties and currants referred to in Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be as specified in the Annex hereto.
2. For the application of the second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, areas having a yield per hectare less than:
- 1 900 kilograms of dried grapes for sultanas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years,
- 3 000 kilograms of dried grapes for other sultanas,
- 2 100 kilograms of dried grapes for currants,
- 520 kilograms of dried grapes for muscatels,
shall not be considered as specialised areas. The aid shall not be paid for the cultivation of the abovementioned products on these areas.
3. Member States shall take all necessary measures for checking this minimum yield.
Pursuant to Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, the per hectare aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera shall be ECU 3 917 per hectare.
The Member States concerned shall take the administrative provisions needed for the granting of this aid.
(2) shall not apply in such cases.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

(2) Following the request of the Cypriot authorities, the Commission assessed the maritime education, training and certification systems in Sri Lanka in order to verify whether this country complies with the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. This assessment was based on the results of a fact-finding inspection performed by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in November 2006.
(3) Where deficiencies had been identified during the assessment of compliance with the STCW Convention, the Sri Lankan authorities provided to the Commission the requested relevant information and evidence concerning the implementation of appropriate and sufficient corrective action that address most of these issues.
(4) Some remaining shortcomings, relating to few aspects of the national procedures concerning education training and certification of seafarers, concern in particular missing specific legal provisions regarding qualifications of instructors, the use of simulators, as well as the lack of design and testing for simulators exercises in one of the maritime education and training institutions that were examined. The Sri Lankan authorities have therefore been invited to implement further corrective action regarding these matters. However, these shortcomings do not warrant calling into question the overall level of compliance of the Sri Lankan systems regarding maritime education, training and certification with the STCW Convention.
(5) The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by the Sri Lankan authorities demonstrate that Sri Lanka complies with the relevant requirements of the STCW Convention. Sri Lanka has also taken appropriate measures to prevent fraud involving certificates and should thus be recognised by the Union.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,
Sri Lanka is recognised as regards education, training and certification of seafarers, for the purpose of recognition of certificates of competency issued by this country.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 17 January 1997 deferring, as regards the importation of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production from third countries, the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of Council Directive 92/34/EEC (97/110/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/34/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants, intended for fruit production (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 95/26/EC (2), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,
Whereas, by virtue of Decision 95/26/EC the date in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive was deferred until 31 December 1996;
Whereas the Commission is required pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 92/34/EEC to decide whether propagating material and fruit plants produced in a third country and affording the same guarantees as regards obligations on the supplier, identity, characteristics, plant health, growing medium, packaging, inspection arrangements, marking and sealing, are equivalent in all these respects to propagating material and fruit plants produced in the Community and complying with the requirements and conditions of the Directive;
Whereas, however, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is still not sufficient to enable the Community to make any such decision in respect of any third country at this stage;
Whereas it is known that, Member States have imported propagating material and fruit plants produced in certain third countries; whereas, in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted Member States should be allowed to continue to apply to the import of propagating material and fruit plants from third countries conditions equivalent to those applicable to the production and marketing of products obtained in the Community, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of the said Directive;
Whereas propagating material and fruit plants imported by a Member State in accordance with a decision taken by that Member State pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of the said Directive should be subject to no marketing restrictions as regards the matters referred to in Article 16 (1) of the said Directive in other Member States;
Whereas accordingly the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive should be further deferred;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Propagating Material and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species,
The date referred to in Article 16 (2), first subparagraph of Directive 92/34/EEC is hereby deferred until 31 December 1998.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82 (1), and in particular the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh indents of Article 4 (1) and Article 4 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, in order to implement Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82, it is necessary to determine the total quantities of each product to be supplied under the food-aid programmes in compliance with the Community's international commitments;
Whereas the Community has entered into certain commitments under the Food Aid Convention;
Whereas the Community has also entered into certain commitments under the Convention between the European Economic Community and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on aid to refugees in the countries of the Near East (3);
Whereas a list of the countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations should be drawn up without prejudice to emergency operations;
Whereas provision should also be made for the possibility of making food aid available to non-governmental organizations; whereas the latter must meet certain conditions guaranteeing the successful execution of food-aid operations;
Whereas the basic and derived products which may be supplied under food-aid operations should be determined by taking account, in particular, of the available stocks of the products in question;
Whereas general criteria should also be established for the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage, taking into account the financial and geographical situation of the countries concerned and the channels and intermediaries via which the aid will be dispatched; whereas account should also be taken to this end of the need to ensure that the effectiveness of the food-aid operations is increased;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the objectives of food-aid operations are attained, it is furthermore necessary to stipulate that aid is granted only where the recipients undertake to comply with the supply terms laid down by the Commission;
Whereas the methods of mobilizing, transporting and delivering the products should be specified; whereas it is also necessary to determine the procedure for mobilizing the products outside the Community;
Whereas the Commission must be able to take all the measures necessary for the proper execution of food-aid programmes and operations; whereas, to this end, Member States must provide the Commission with all the assistance required and, in particular, with all relevant information;
Whereas, in certain circumstances and subject to appropriate conditions, multiannual food-aid programmes can make a positive contribution to the development of the recipient country; whereas, however, it is not intended to lay down multiannual quantities of food aid,
1. The quantities of products to be made available for 1986 to certain developing countries and certain organizations as food aid are indicated in Annex I.
The products listed in the fourth, fifth and sixth indents of Annex I shall be made available to certain developing countries or certain organizations under international commitments or in the form of specific projects or emergency aid to be decided on by the Commission in accordance with Article 5 or 6, as applicable, of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
2. The products to be considered for food-aid operations under paragraph 1 are laid down in Annex II.
1. The countries and organizations eligible to receive the aid referred to in Article 1 are listed in Annex III.
2. The aid may also be placed at the disposal of non-governmental organizations which must inter alia:
(a) have their headquarters in a Member State of the Community or, exceptionally, in a third country;
(b) have a statute that is characteristic of an organization of this type;
(c) have shown that they have the capacity to carry out food-aid operations successfully;
(d) have given an undertaking to comply with the supply terms laid down by the Commission pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
Where the Commission considers that the Community should meet transport costs for food aid beyond the fob stage, it shall take account of the following general criteria:
- whether the recipient country is included on the list of least-developed countries,
- whether or not the recipient country is a land-locked country,
- the financial situation of the recipient country,
- whether the food aid is intended for the organizations or non-governmental organizations referred to in Article 2,
- the need to mobilize the product on the market of a developing country,
- the need to allocate the food aid on an emergency basis,
- the need to make a given food-aid operation more effective.
Distribution costs may, in exceptional circumstances, be met by the Community where necessary for the proper execution of the food-aid operations concerned.
1. The Commission shall inform the recipients of the conditions governing the supply of food aid as referred to in point (c) of the first paragraph of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
2. Food aid shall be granted to the recipients only where they undertake to comply with the supply terms notified to them by the Commission.
1. Except in the case of emergency operations or where products have to be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market, tenders shall be called for within the Community:
- for the mobilization of the product on the Community market and, where appropriate, for its purchase and manufacture on that market,
- for the transportation and delivery of the product after mobilization.
Where, however, a food-aid operation relates only to relatively small amounts, paragraph 2 may also apply.
2. For emergency operations or where products must be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market, the Commission may conclude the necessary private contracts or instruct the Member States and, where appropriate, an authorized agent to conclude such contracts on terms laid down by the Commission.
1. The Commission shall lay down rules for the mobilization of products which must be purchased in a developing country because they are unavailable on the Community market.
In order to establish that they are unavailable, the Commission shall have regard to the availability of stocks of the products in question in the Community and to the Community market's needs as regards such products.
2. Milk products supplied as food aid must have been manufactured and purchased in the Community.
3. The Commission shall lay down the rules referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82.
The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3331/82, establish the technical coefficient and equivalence criterion referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation.
The Commission shall take all necessary measures to ensure the proper execution of food-aid programmes and operations.
To this end, the Member States shall provide the Commission with all the assistance required and shall, in particular, provide it with all relevant information.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto. For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95(2), and in particular Article 5(2)(c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(3), and in particular Article 7(4) thereof,
After consulting the Committee of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 stipulate that the Commission is to exclude expenditure from Community financing where it finds that it has not been incurred in accordance with the Community rules.
(2) Those Articles of Regulations (EEC) No 729/70 and (EC) No 1258/1999 and Article 8(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2245/1999(5), provide that the Commission is to carry out the necessary checks, forward its findings to the Member States, consider any comments from the latter, enter into bilateral discussions to reach an agreement with the Member States concerned and formally communicate its conclusions to them, referring to Commission Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(6), as amended by Decision 2000/649/EC(7).
(3) The Member States have had the opportunity to request that a conciliation procedure be initiated. That procedure has been applied in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been considered by the Commission.
(4) Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 provide that refunds on exports to non-member countries and intervention intended to stabilise the agricultural markets may be financed only where they are, respectively, granted and undertaken in accordance with the Community rules governing the common organisation of the agricultural markets.
(5) The findings of checks performed, the results of bilateral discussions and the outcome of the conciliation procedures have shown that some expenditure declared by the Member States does not meet those conditions and cannot therefore be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
(6) The Annex to this Decision sets out the amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the checks to the Member States.
(7) As regards the cases covered by this Decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with the Community rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States in a summary report on the subject.
(8) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending at the date of this Decision and relating to the subject thereof,
The expenditure itemised in the Annex that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section is hereby excluded from Community financing because it does not comply with the Community rules.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Portuguese Republic, the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) As a result of an error in the notifications from some Member States, the licences issued for the quarter from 1 December 2003 to 29 February 2004 have exceeded the quantities available for that quarter by 493,64 tonnes. The quantities available for the following quarter should therefore be immediately reduced accordingly, in order to comply with the quotas set by Council Decision 2001/404/EC on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Argentine Republic pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 for the modification of concessions with respect to garlic provided for in Schedule CXL annexed to the GATT(4), without prejudice to the adoption at a later date of a formal derogation from Regulation (EC) No 565/2002.
(2) The quantities for which licence applications have been lodged by traditional importers and by new importers on 12 and 13 January 2004, under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 565/2002 exceed the quantities available for products originating in China, Argentina and all other third countries other than China and Argentina.
(3) It is now necessary to establish the extent to which the licence applications sent to the Commission on 15 January 2004 can be met and to fix, for each category of importer and product origin, the dates until which the issue of certificates must be suspended,
Applications for import licences lodged under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 565/2002 on 12 and 13 January 2004 and sent to the Commission on 15 January 2004, shall be met at a percentage rate of the quantities applied for as set out in Annex I hereto.
For each category of importer and the origin involved, applications for import licences under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 565/2002 relating to the quarter from 1 March to 31 May 2004 and lodged after 13 January 2004 but before the date in Annex II hereto, shall be rejected.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.
(3) Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(4) Import duties should be fixed for the period from 16 March 2013 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.
(5) Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
From 16 March 2013, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 15 March 2002
amending Annexes I, II and VI to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs, and laying down detailed rules as regards the transmission of information on the use of copper compounds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/2001(2), and in particular the first and second indents of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It is necessary to define more precisely the time at which the conversion period is started in principle and to define the conditions which need to be satisfied in order to recognise retroactively a period before the start, as being part of the conversion period.
(2) In exceptional circumstances, such as the outbreak of infectious diseases, accidental contaminations or natural phenomenons, the stockbreeders can afford difficulties in obtaining supply of feedingstuffs of organic origin and an authorisation has to be granted, on temporary basis and in a limited way, by the competent authority of the Member State, in view of the use of feedingstuffs not originating from organic farming.
(3) Part A of Annex II, on fertilisers and soil conditioners, provides for the possibility of using composted household waste during a provisional period expiring on 31 March 2002 only. The use of composted household waste meets a real need in certain Member States, and this product is strictly regulated as regards the origin of the waste, the operation of the collection system, which must have been accepted by the Member State, and the maximum content of heavy metals, without prejudice to any other requirements for use of such product in general agriculture. These requirements may need to be reconsidered in the framework of new common legislation of household wastes. The current authorisation can therefore be prolonged for a limited period of four years.
(4) Pyrethroids (deltamethrin and lambdacyhalothrin) are used in organic farming only in traps and their use thus meets the criteria of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. The use of these substances has been shown to meet a real need in certain crops and should therefore be authorised for an indefinite period.
(5) Germany has asked that ferric phosphate be included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 so that it can be used as a molluscicide in organic agriculture. Having examined this request, the conditions laid down in Article 7(1) of that Regulation have been found being satisfied. Moreover, ferric phosphate was recently evaluated for compliance with the criteria on human health and the environment under Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/18/EC(4). This product should accordingly be added to Annex II, Part B.
(6) Metaldehyde is authorised for use as a molluscicide in organic farming for a period expiring on 31 March 2002. This period should be extended for a limited transitional period of 4 years which would permit to replace, in the Member States, metaldehyde as molluscicide by iron (III) orthophosphate.
(7) The use of copper in the form of copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride, (tribasic) copper sulphate and cuprous oxide and the use of mineral oils as fungicides are considered to be traditional organic farming practices in accordance with the provisions of Article 7(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. It has appeared that these substances are, at this point of time, indispensable to the cultivation of various crops and that only by increased research efforts it will be possible to find on medium or long term appropriate alternative solutions. Therefore, these substances should be authorised for the time being. This authorisation will be reviewed in the light of new developments and evidence with regard to available alternatives.
(8) The use of copper in the forms referred to above may have long-term consequences due to its accumulation in the soil, which appears incompatible with organic farming's objective of environmentally friendly farming. The conditions for using copper should therefore be restricted by fixing a ceiling on use expressed in terms of kilograms of copper per hectare per year. This ceiling should start at the level of 8 kg copper per ha, and should after a limited transitional period of four years be reduced to 6 kg copper per ha, unless it would be demonstrated that for certain crops such lower ceiling is not efficacious. Member States should have the possibility to apply this ceiling on an average basis over a period of five years. Member States making use of this possibility should report on the implementation of this measure and on the quantities effectively used, in view of a possible review of this regime where necessary.
(9) Extension of the period of use of plant protection products by this Regulation is without prejudice to the decisions taken on the use of these products in agriculture in general as part of the review programme provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The Commission has presented to Council and Parliament the report provided in Article 8(2) for examination. The deadlines set in this regulation will be reviewed without delay if this is necessary in the light of the conclusions of the examination of the report.
(10) Under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 the labelling and advertising of a product may refer to organic production methods only where the product or its ingredients of agricultural origin have not been subjected to treatments involving the use of substances not listed in Section B of Annex VI. However, sodium hydroxide is listed in that Annex for use in the production of oil from rapeseed (Brassica spp.) during a period expiring on 31 March 2002 only. The use of this substance has been shown to meet a real need in the production of certain types of organic rapeseed oil used in foodstuffs. Therefore, the use of this product shall be authorised for an indefinite period.
(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 207/93(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2020/2000(6) has defined the content of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 and established the implementation conditions of Article 5(4) of this Regulation. The Member States have asked for the inclusion in Annex VI, part C, of animal casings; after examination it has been established that the request for inclusion satisfies the requirements of Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 and of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 207/93.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annexes I, II and VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Where a Member State decides to implement the derogation provided for the maximum levels of copper compounds in Annex II, part B, of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, the following shall be communicated to the Commission and the other Member States:
- before 30 June 2002, information on the measures taken to implement this provision and to ensure its compliance, in particular at the level of individual holdings,
- before 31 December 2004, a report on the implementation and on the results of these measures, in particular the quantities actually required in each cultivation period since the entering into force of this provision.
If necessary, the Commission shall take appropriate measures according to the procedure foreseen in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, the Member States may continue to apply the provisions of paragraph 1 of part A of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, which were applicable before the entry into force of the present Regulation:
- for parcels for which the conversion period commenced before 31 December 2002,
- for all parcels which are part of a conversion plan, of a maximum duration of five years, agreed with the competent authorities and which commenced before 1 September 2002; this derogation does not apply for parcels added to the plan after its initial agreement.

(Only the Lithuanian text is authentic)
(2013/751/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5), second subparagraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, the Republic of Lithuania submitted to the Commission its transitional national plan (TNP) on 31 December 2012 (2).
(2) During its assessment of the completeness of the TNP, the Commission found that some of the plants included in the TNP did not match with those in the emission inventory submitted by the Republic of Lithuania under Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Therefore, by letter of 12 June 2013 (4), the Commission requested the Lithuanian authorities to clarify those discrepancies, to confirm that the provisions of Article 29 of Directive 2010/75/EU have been correctly applied for the drawing up of the TNP, and to provide the missing individual plant data.
(3) The Republic of Lithuania submitted additional information to the Commission by letter of 26 June 2013 (5).
(4) After further assessment of the TNP and the additional information, the Commission sent a second letter to the Republic of Lithuania on 23 July 2013 (6) with the request to clarify the grounds for applying for five plants the emission limit values mentioned under Note 5 to Table C1 of Appendix C of the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (7).
(5) By letter of 20 August 2013 (8), the Republic of Lithuania submitted additional information concerning the ash content of the fuel used in some of the plants covered by the TNP.
(6) By letter of 27 September 2013 (9), the Commission requested further clarification and completion of this data, in conformity with the information requested in Decision 2012/115/EU.
(7) By e-mail of 3 October 2013 (10), the Republic of Lithuania provided additional certificates of the composition of the heavy fuel oil and confirmed that all available information had been made available to the Commission and that the conditions for applying the ELV set out in Note 5 to Table C1 of Appendix C of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU were fulfilled for the five plants concerned.
(8) The TNP has therefore been assessed by the Commission in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
(9) In particular, the Commission has examined the consistency and correctness of the data, assumptions and calculations used for determining the contributions of each of the combustion plants covered by the TNP to the emission ceilings set out in the TNP, and has analysed whether it contains objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and a monitoring mechanism to assess future compliance.
(10) Further to the additional information submitted, the Commission found that the emission ceilings for the years 2016 and 2019 were calculated using the appropriate data and formulae and that the calculations were correct. The Republic of Lithuania has provided sufficient information regarding the measures that will be implemented in order to achieve emission ceilings, the monitoring and the reporting to the Commission on the implementation of the TNP.
(11) The Commission is satisfied that the Lithuanian authorities have taken into consideration the provisions listed in Article 32 (1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
(12) The implementation of the TNP should be without prejudice to other applicable national and Union law. In particular, when setting individual permit conditions for the combustion plants covered by the TNP, the Republic of Lithuania should ensure that compliance with the requirements set out in, inter alia, Directive 2010/75/EU, Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) and Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (12) is not jeopardised.
(13) Article 32(6) of Directive 2010/75/EU requires the Republic of Lithuania to inform the Commission of any subsequent changes to the TNP. The Commission should assess whether those changes comply with the provisions laid down in Article 32 (1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU.
1. On the basis of Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and of Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU, no objections are raised against the transitional national plan, which the Republic of Lithuania notified to the Commission on 31 December 2012 pursuant to Article 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU, as amended in accordance with the additional information sent on 26 June 2013, 20 August 2013 and 3 October 2013 (13).
2. The list of plants covered by the transitional national plan, the pollutants for which those plants are covered, and the applicable emission ceilings are laid down in the Annex.

of 13 December 2011
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 of 18 September 2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process (2) introduced exceptional trade measures which provide for unlimited duty free access to the Union market for almost all products originating in the countries and customs territories benefiting from the Stabilisation and Association process. As Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 was substantially amended several times, in the interests of clarity and rationality it was codified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 (3).
(2) A Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part, was signed in Luxembourg on 16 June 2008. Pending the completion of the procedures necessary for its entry into force, an Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part (4), was signed and concluded (5) and entered into force on 1 July 2008.
(3) A Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Serbia, of the other part was signed in Luxembourg on 29 April 2008. Pending the completion of the procedures necessary for its entry into force, an Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Serbia, of the other part (6), was signed and concluded (7) and entered into force on 1 February 2010.
(4) The Stabilisation and Association Agreements and the Interim Agreements establish a contractual trade regime between the European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and between the European Union and Serbia. It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 by removing Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia from the list of beneficiaries of the tariff concessions for the same products under the contractual trade regime and to adjust the global tariff quota volumes for specific products for which tariff quotas have been granted under the contractual trade regime. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia should, however, remain beneficiaries under Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 in so far as that Regulation provides for concessions which are more favourable than those under the bilateral agreements.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 remains the main instrument governing trade relations with Kosovo (8). Kosovo’s continued access to the Union market is crucial for Kosovo’s economic recovery and for the whole region. At the same time, such access will not have negative consequences for the Union.
(6) For those reasons and given the fact that Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 ceased to apply on 31 December 2010, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 until 31 December 2015.
(7) In order to ensure the Union’s compliance with its international obligations, the preferential arrangements set out in this Regulation should be made conditional on the continuation or renewal of the existing waiver from World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations obtained by the Union.
(8) In order to protect the economic interests of operators, it is necessary to provide for transitional measures in respect of goods that are, at the date of application of this Regulation, in transit or in temporary storage in customs warehouses or in free zones.
(9) In order to adopt the provisions necessary for the application of this Regulation, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the necessary amendments and technical adjustments to Annexes I and II following amendments to the Combined Nomenclature codes and to the TARIC subdivisions, as well as the necessary adjustments following the granting of trade preferences under other arrangements between the Union and the countries and territories referred to in this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(10) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation with regard to the suspension of the entitlement to benefit from the preferential arrangements in the event of non-compliance, the issuing of authenticity certificates attesting that the goods originate in the country or territory concerned and correspond to the definition in this Regulation, and for the temporary suspension, in whole or in part, of the arrangements provided for in this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (9).
(11) In order not to disrupt trade, it is necessary for this Regulation to apply retroactively, as of 1 January 2011,
Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) Article 2 is amended as follows:
(a) point (a) of paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2004/60/EC of 23 April 2004 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include quinoxyfen as active substance (2) adds that substance in Annex I to that Directive.
(2) After inclusion of a new active substance, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing that active substance and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with that Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) The time limits for the implementation provided for in Directive 2004/60/EC are not in line with those for other new active substances. The approach for all new active substances under the current review phase should be harmonised.

(1) The second subparagraph of Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 states that, in the case of sugar in storage on 30 June 2001 under the compensation system for storage costs provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 906/2001(3), the date of disposal for the purposes of collecting the storage levy is 30 June 2001.
(2) Because of the large size of the storage levy due for the sugar stored on 30 June 2001, the conditions under which interested parties make payment should be eased by introducing a derogation to Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 of 18 August 1978 laying down detailed rules for the offsetting of storage costs for sugar(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1758/93(5).

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of that Regulation, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceiling fixed in column 9 of Annex I;

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 89 ( 1 ) and 234 ( 2 ) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Articles 95 ( 1 ) and 293 ( 1 ) of the Act of Accession provide that Community aid for the consumption of olive oil hereinafter called "aid' is to be introduced in Spain and Portugal from 1 January 1991, according to a timetable to be determined, to the extent necessary to reach the common level at the end of the period of application of the transitional measures; whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the amount of the aid applicable in Spain and Portugal from 1 January 1991 and the timetable for bringing this amount into line with the common level of aid; whereas transitional measures may, however, prove necessary for a limited period, to avoid major upheavals on the olive oil market in the two Member States concerned and to take account of transitional measures adopted for sunflower seed;
Whereas, to avoid a fall in olive oil consumption in Spain and Portugal following the end of the standstill period, it is necessary to introduce the aid in these two Member States at a level allowing the price ratio between olive oil and competing oils to be adjusted gradually;
Whereas Article 4 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of the Council of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2902/89 ( 2 ), provides that the representative market price may be adjusted under certain circumstances during the marketing year, thereby entailing an adjustment of aid; whereas, in this case, the aid levels applicable in Spain and Portugal must be adapted to take account of this price adjustment;
Whereas the alignment of the intervention price in Spain and Portugal on the common price is to be completed from the 1994/95 marketing year; whereas, therefore, the common level of aid must be applied in these two Member States from that date, so that the same price is paid by consumers throughout the Community,
Community aid for the consumption of olive oil shall be introduced in Spain and Portugal from 1 January 1991, save for transitional measures taken under Articles 90 and 257 of the Act of Accession .
The amount of the aid shall be ECU 43 per 100 kilograms in Spain and ECU 48 per 100 kilograms in Portugal . Subject to the transitional provisions referred to in the first paragraph, these amounts shall apply from 1 January to 31 October 1991 .
1 . At the beginning of the 1991/92, 1992/93 and 1993/94 marketing years, the amount of the aid applicable in Spain and Portugal shall be aligned on the common aid level applicable for the marketing year in question in stages, by one-quarter, one-third and one-half of the difference between each of these amounts and the common aid level .
2 . The common aid level shall be fully applied in Spain and Portugal from the 1994/95 marketing year .
Where the representative market price is adjusted during the marketing year, the amount of aid applicable in Spain and Portugal shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, to take account of the adjustment to the said price .

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES divisions I, II b by vessels flying the flag of Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands or registered in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have reached the quota allocated for 1994,

Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 provides that a product in the production of which two or more countries were concerned shall be regarded as originating in the country in which the last substantial process or operation that is economically justified was performed, having been carried out in an undertaking equipped for the purpose, and resulting in the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture;

of 8 August 2001

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Food,
Whereas:
(1) The use and/or presence of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) ether ("BADGE"), bis(hydroxyphenyl)methane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)ethers ("BFDGE") and novolac glycidyl ethers ("NOGE") in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs has led to questions about their safety, mainly when they are used as an additive.
(2) Test results have shown significant levels of these substances and certain derivatives thereof in some foodstuffs.
(3) The Scientific Committee on Food has given an opinion that the specific migration limit for BADGE and some of its derivatives can be extended for another three years pending the submission of further toxicological data for evaluation.
(4) Acceptance of the use and/or presence of BADGE may therefore be provisionally extended.
(5) The Scientific Committee on Food has examined the data available on BFDGE, which are very similar to the corresponding data obtained for BADGE.
(6) Acceptance of the use and/or presence of BFDGE and some of its derivatives may therefore also be continued pending the submission and evaluation of further toxicological data, under certain conditions.
(7) The Scientific Committee on Food has stated that, in the absence of information about the potential exposure and toxicological profile of NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and their derivatives, it is not in a position to evaluate the safety of use and/or the presence of corresponding products. The Committee is therefore of the opinion that at present, it is not appropriate to use NOGE as an additive in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs due to its tendency to migrate in this application.
(8) The use and/or presence of NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and their derivatives in plastic materials and articles, surface coatings and adhesives intended to come into contact with foodstuffs should be regulated through the establishment of a strict limit. That limit should, in practice, provisionally rule out their use as additives, pending the submission of adequate data for an appropriate risk assessment and the development of adequate methods for the determination of their levels in foodstuffs.
(9) The use and/or presence of NOGE and BFDGE as monomers and starting substances for the preparation of special coatings used to cover the surfaces of very big containers should provisionally be allowed to continue, pending the submission of further technical data. The large volume/surface area ratio of these containers, their repeated use over their long lifetime, which reduces migration and their contact with foodstuffs at ambient temperature in the majority of the applications suggest that it is not necessary to set a migration limit for NOGE and BFDGE in such containers.
(10) Member States which have not yet authorised the use and/or the presence of BADGE and/or BFDGE and/or NOGE in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs may maintain their prohibition.
(11) The use of BADGE, BFDGE and NOGE and/or their presence in plastic materials and articles, surface coatings such as varnishes, lacquers and paints, as well as adhesives, should be regulated at Community level to avoid risks to human health and barriers to the free movement of goods.
(12) A transitional period should be provided for in respect of materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs or which are brought into contact with foodstuffs and which are manufactured before 1 December 2002.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
1. This Directive shall apply to the following materials and articles:
(a) materials and articles made of any type of plastics;
(b) materials and articles covered by surface coatings;
(c) adhesives;
which are manufactured with or contain one or more of the following substances:
- 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) ether hereinafter called "BADGE", and some of its derivatives,
- bis(-hydroxyphenyl)methane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) ethers hereinafter called "BFDGE", and some of their derivatives,
- other novolac glycidyl ethers hereinafter called "NOGE", and some of their derivatives,
and which, in the finished product state, are intended to come into contact or are brought into contact with foodstuffs and are intended for that purpose.
2. This Directive shall not apply to containers or storage tanks having a capacity greater than 10000 liters or to pipelines belonging to or connected with them, covered by special coatings called "heavy-duty coatings".
The materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) shall not release the substances listed in Annex I in a quantity exceeding the limit laid down in that Annex.
The use and/or presence of BADGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004.
The materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) shall not release the substances listed in Annex II in a quantity which, when added, to the sum of BADGE and its derivatives listed in Annex I, exceeds the limit laid down in Annex II.
The use and/or presence of BFDGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004.
As from 1 December 2002, the quantity of NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and at least one epoxy group as well as their derivatives containing chlorohydrin functions and having a molecular mass less than 1000 Daltons shall not be detectable in the materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) at the detection limit of 0,2 mg/6 dm2, including analytical tolerance.
The use and/or presence of NOGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004.
The requirements of this Directive shall not apply to materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1)(b) and (c) which have been put into free circulation in the Community before 1 December 2002.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 November 2002 at latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, in the application of Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, it is necessary to determine the quantities of certain processed fruit and vegetable products in the forecast supply balance, falling within CN code 2008 and qualifying for exemption from duty on direct imports from third countries or for aid for consignments from the rest of the Community;
Whereas the amount of the abovementioned aid for the supply of processed fruit products to Madeira should be fixed; whereas that aid must be fixed taking account, in particular, of the cost of supply from the world market, the conditions resulting from that region's geographical situation and current prices for exports to the latter;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1696/92 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (5), lays down common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to Madeira; whereas it is appropriate to lay down additional detailed rules in line with current commercial practice in the processed fruit and vegetable products sector, in particular regarding the duration of the validity of licences and certificates and the amount of the securities ensuring operators' compliance with their obligations;
Whereas, with a view to sound management of the supply arrangements, provision should be made for a timetable for the lodging of licence and certificate applications and for a period of reflection for their issue;
Whereas, in application of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply arrangements apply from 1 July 1992; whereas provision should be made for the detailed rules for their implementation to apply as soon as possible;

31970R1107 | Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 of the Council of 4 June 1970 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway
| REGULATION (EEC) No 1107/70 OF THE COUNCIL of 4 June 1970 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 75, 77 and 94 thereof;
Having regard to the Council Decision of 13 May 1965 (1) on the harmonization of certain provisions affecting competition in transport by rail, road and inland waterway, and in particular Article 9 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (2)
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3);
Whereas the elimination of disparities liable to distort the conditions of competition in the transport market is an essential objective of the common transport policy;
Whereas, to that end, it is appropriate to lay down certain rules on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway in so far as such aids relate specifically to activities within that sector;
Whereas Article 77 states that aids shall be compatible with the Treaty if they meet the needs of co-ordination of transport or if they represent reimbursement for the discharge of certain obligations inherent in the concept of a public service;
Whereas Council Regulations (EEC) No 1192/69 and (EEC) 1191/69 (4) of 26 June 1969 laid down common rules and procedures for, respectively, compensation payments arising from the normalisation of the accounts of railway undertakings, and compensation in respect of financial burdens resulting from public service obligations in transport by rail, road and inland waterway;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to specify the cases and the circumstances in which Member States may take co-ordination measures or impose obligations inherent in the concept of a public service which involve the granting of aids under Article 77 of the Treaty not covered by the aforesaid Regulation;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of the Council Decision of 13 May 1965, payments by States and public authorities to railway undertakings are to be made subject to Community rules ; whereas payments made by reason of the fact that the harmonisation referred to in the said Article 8 has not yet been carried out should be exempted from the provisions of this Regulation delimiting the powers of Member States to take co-ordination measures or impose obligations inherent in the concept of a public service which involve the granting of aids under Article 77 of the Treaty;
Whereas, owing to the particular nature of these payments, it seems appropriate, pursuant of Article 94 of the Treaty, to lay down a special procedure for informing the Commission of such payments;
Whereas it is desirable that certain provisions of this Regulation should not apply to measures taken by any Member State in implementation of a system of aid upon which the Commission has, pursuant to Articles 77, 92 and 93 of the Treaty, already pronounced;
Whereas it is desirable, in order to assist the Commission in its examination of aids granted for transport, to attach to the Commission an advisory committee consisting of experts appointed by Member States; (1)OJ No 88, 24.5.1965, p. 1500/65. (2)OJ No 103, 2.6.1967, p. 2050/67. (3)OJ No 178, 2.8.1967, p. 18. (4)OJ No L 156, 28.6.1969, p. 1.
This Regulation shall apply to aids granted for transport by rail, road and inland waterway, in so far as such aids relate specifically to activities within that sector.
Articles 92 to 94 of the Treaty shall apply to aids granted for transport by rail, road and inland waterway.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1192/69 of 26 June 1969 on common rules for the normalisation of the accounts of railway undertakings, and of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 of 26 June 1969 on action by Member States concerning the obligations inherent in the concept of a public service in transport by rail, road and inland waterway, Member States shall neither take co-ordination measures nor impose obligations inherent in the concept of a public service which involve the granting of aids pursuant to Article 77 of the Treaty except in the following cases or circumstances: 1. As regards co-ordination of transport: (a) where aids granted to railway undertakings not covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1192/69 are intended as compensation for additional financial burdens which those undertakings bear by comparison with other transport undertakings and which fall under one of the heads of normalisation listed in that Regulation;
(b) until the entry into force of common rules on the allocation of infrastructure costs, where aid is granted to undertakings which have to bear expenditure relating to the infrastructure used by them, while other undertakings are not subject to a like burden. In determining the amount of aid thus granted account shall be taken of the infrastructure costs which competing modes of transport do not have to bear;
(c) where the purpose of the aid is to promote either: - research into transport systems and technologies more economic for the Community in general ; or
- the development of transport systems and technologies more economic for the Community in general.
Such aid shall be restricted to the research and development stage and may not cover the commercial exploitation of such transport systems and technologies;
(d) until the entry into force of Community rules on access to the transport market, where aid is granted as an exceptional and temporary measure in order to eliminate, as part of a reorganisation plan, excess capacity causing serious structural problems, and thus to contribute towards meeting more effectively the needs of the transport market.
2. As regards reimbursement for the discharge of obligations inherent in the concept of a public service:
until the entry into force of relevant Community rules, where payments are made to rail, road or inland waterway transport undertakings as compensation for public service obligations imposed on them by the State or public authorities and covering either: - tariff obligations not falling within the definition given in Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 ; or
- transport undertakings or activities to which that Regulation does not apply.
3. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 75 (3) of the Treaty, the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may amend the list given in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Article.
Until the entry into force of Community rules adopted pursuant to Article 8 of the Council Decision of 13 May 1965 and without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 and of Regulation (EEC) 1192/69, the provisions of Article 3 shall not apply to payments by States and public authorities to railway undertakings made by reason of any failure to achieve harmonisation, as laid down in the said Article 8, of the rules governing the financial relations between railway undertakings and States, the purpose of such harmonisation being to make those undertakings financially autonomous.
1. When informing the Commission, in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty, of any plans to grant or alter aid, Member States shall forward to the Commission all information necessary to establish that such aid complies with the provisions of this Regulation.
2. The aids referred to in Article 4 shall be exempt from the procedure provided for in Article 93 (3) of the Treaty. Details of such aids shall be communicated to the Commission in the form of estimates at the beginning of each year and subsequently, in the form of a report, after the end of the financial year.
An advisory committee to the Commission is hereby set up ; it shall assist the Commission in its examination of aids granted for transport by rail, road and inland waterway. The committee shall have as Chairman a representative of the Commission and shall consist of representatives appointed by each Member State. Not less than ten days' notice of meetings of the committee shall be given and such notice shall include details of the agenda. This period may be reduced for urgent cases. The functioning of the committee shall be subject to Article 83 of the Treaty.
The committee may examine, and give an opinion on, all questions concerning the operation of this Regulation and of all other provisions governing the granting of aids in the transport sector.
The committee shall be kept informed of the nature and amount of aids granted to transport undertakings and, generally, of all relevant details concerning such aids, as soon as the latter are notified to the Commission in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.
The provisions of Article 3 shall not apply to measures adopted by any Member State in implementation of a system of aid upon which the Commission has, pursuant to Articles 77, 92 and 93 of the Treaty, already pronounced.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1971.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (2), and in particular Articles 14 and 16 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred in Annex A (1) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/723/EC (4) and in particular point (c) of Article 10 (2) in conjunction with Chapter 10 of Annex I,
Whereas, following the partition of Czechoslovakia, Commission Decision 82/425/EEC (5) which lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Czechoslovakia was revoked by Decision 94/845/EC (6),
Whereas it is necessary to lay down such requirements for imports of fresh meat from the Slovak Republic;
Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it appears that the animal health situation in the Slovak Republic compares favourably with that in Member States particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities of the Slovak Republic have confirmed that the Slovak Republic has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, swine vesicular disease, porcine enteroviral encephalomyelitis (Teschen disease); whereas except for classical swine fever, vaccinations against the above diseases have not taken place for at least 12 months; whereas therefore imports of fresh meat of the porcine species from this country should not be authorized except for uses other than human consumption;
Whereas other health conditions must be established for meat not intended for human consumption in accordance with the provisions of Directive 92/118/EEC and Commission Decision 89/18/EEC of 22 December 1988 (7) concerning importation from third countries of fresh meat for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas the responsible authorities of the Slovak Republic have undertaken to notify the Commission and the Member States within 24 hours, by fax, telex or telegram of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or an alteration in the vaccination policy against them;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adapted according to the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;
Whereas considering that a new certification regime is hereby established, a period of time should be provided for its implementation;
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 the Slovak Republic:
(a) fresh meat of domestic animals of the bovine, ovine or caprine species, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex A, which must accompany the consignment;
(b) fresh meat of domestic solipeds, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex B, which must accompany the consignment;
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorize the importation of fresh pigmeat from the Slovak Republic for purposes other than human consumption. Member States shall ensure that such imports meet the conditions of Decision 89/18/EEC and Directive 92/118/EEC and conform to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex C, which must accompany each consignment.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 12 December 2008
laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital
(ECB/2008/25)
(2009/55/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision ECB/2008/23 of 12 December 2008 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (1) provides for the adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) capital (hereinafter the capital key weightings and the capital key respectively). This adjustment requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 31 December 2008 in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new ECB decision is required that repeals Decision ECB/2006/23 of 15 December 2006 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (2) with effect from 1 January 2009.
(2) Decision ECB/2008/24 of 12 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the participating national central banks (3) determines how and to what extent the NCBs of the Member States that have adopted the euro (hereinafter the ‘participating NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up the ECB’s capital in view of the adjusted capital key. Decision ECB/2008/28 of 15 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-participating national central banks (4) determines the percentage that the NCBs of the Member States that will not have adopted the euro on 1 January 2009 (hereinafter the non-participating NCBs) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 January 2009 in view of the adjusted capital key.
(3) The participating NCBs, with the exception of Národná banka Slovenska, have already paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2006/22 of 15 December 2006 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the participating national central banks (5). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2008/24 states that either a participating NCB should transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/24.
(4) Furthermore, Articles 2(1) and 2(2) of Decision ECB/2008/33 of 31 December 2008 on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Národná banka Slovenska to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions (6) lay down that Národná banka Slovenska, which will be a participating NCB from 1 January 2009, is under an obligation to pay up the remaining share of its subscription to the ECB’s capital in order to arrive at the amount shown next to its name in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/24, taking into account the adjusted capital key.
(5) Likewise, the non-participating NCBs have already paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as required under Decision ECB/2006/26 of 18 December 2006 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-participating national central banks (7). In view of this, Article 2(1) of Decision ECB/2008/28 states that each of them should either transfer an additional amount to the ECB, or receive an amount back from the ECB, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/28.
(6) Decision ECB/2003/20 of 18 December 2003 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (8) was tacitly repealed by Decision ECB/2004/7 of 22 April 2004 laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital (9). For the sake of clarity, Decision ECB/2003/20 should be explicitly repealed with retroactive effect,
Transfer of capital shares
Given the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will have subscribed on 31 December 2008 and the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will subscribe with effect from 1 January 2009 as a consequence of the adjustment of the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2008/23, the NCBs shall transfer capital shares among themselves via transfers to and from the ECB to ensure that the distribution of capital shares with effect from 1 January 2009 corresponds to the adjusted weightings. To this effect, each NCB shall, by virtue of this Article and without any further formality or act being required, either transfer or receive with effect from 1 January 2009 the share in the ECB’s subscribed capital shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to a capital share that the ECB shall transfer to the NCB and ‘–’ to a capital share that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB.
Adjustment of the paid-up capital
1. Given the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB has paid up and the amount of the ECB’s capital that each NCB shall pay up with effect from 1 January 2009 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/24 for the participating NCBs and Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/28 for the non-participating NCBs respectively, on the first operating day of the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) following 1 January 2009 each NCB shall either transfer or receive the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘–’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to that NCB.
2. On the first TARGET2 operating day following 1 January 2009, the ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to transfer an amount under paragraph 1 shall each separately transfer any interest on the respective amounts due accruing over the period from 1 January 2009 until the date of the transfer. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.
General provisions
1. The transfers described in Article 2 shall take place through TARGET2.
2. Where an NCB does not have access to TARGET2, the amounts described in Article 2 shall be transferred by crediting an account that the ECB or NCB shall nominate in due time.
3. Any interest accruing under Article 2(2) shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its most recent main refinancing operation.
4. The ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to make a transfer under Article 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfer on time.
Final provision
1. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2009.

of 15 April 2002
adapting to technical progress Annexes II, III and VII to Council Directive 76/768/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/41/EC(2), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for consumers (SCCNFP),
Whereas:
(1) Entry 293 of Annex II includes radioactive substances among the substances prohibited in cosmetic products. However, footnote 1 to entry 293 allows, under the conditions set out therein, the presence of natural radioactive substances and of radioactive substances caused by artificial contamination from the environment by making reference to Directives of 2 February 1959 laying down the basic standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionising radiation(3). These Directives were repealed by Council Directive 96/29/Euratom(4), Article 6(5) thereof providing that Member States shall permit neither the deliberate addition of radioactive substances in the production of cosmetic products nor the import and export of such goods. Directive 96/29/Euratom also provides for the definition of radioactive substances for the purpose of its application. Therefore, entry 293 of Annex II should be amended accordingly.
(2) On the basis of IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Code of Practice, the SCCNFP has listed 36 substances that must not form part of fragrance compounds used in cosmetic products. Of these 36 fragrance ingredients, seven are already included in Annex II and one (6-methylcoumarin) under reference No 46 in Annex III, Part 1, which already restricts its use to oral hygiene products. Therefore the 28 remaining fragrance ingredients should be included in the list of Annex II. The safety of these substances has only been assessed by the SCCNFP for their use as fragrance ingredients. Accordingly, it is necessary to regulate their use for this purpose. Further safety assessment of these substances for other uses is being carried out by the SCCNFP.
(3) The SCCNFP recommends that methyleugenol should not be intentionally added as a cosmetic ingredient. Therefore methyleugenol should be included in Annex II. As methyleugenol is however naturally present in essential oils that are used as components in cosmetic products, the SCCNFP has set specific maximum concentrations when present in cosmetic products.
(4) On the basis of information on the use in cosmetic products of lithium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide and their safety evaluation, the SCCNFP recommends that their use should be restricted. Therefore entries 15b and 15c of Annex III, Part 1, should be amended accordingly.
(5) On the basis of a toxicological evaluation, the SCCNFP recommends that the maximum residual acrylamide content needs to be restricted in the finished product. Therefore, polyacrylamide should be included in Annex III, Part 1.
(6) The SCCNFP has made toxicological evaluations of 61 hair dyes, including recommendations on their field of application, maximum concentration levels and specific warnings. One is already included under reference No 16 in Annex III, Part 1, which shall therefore be amended. More information on the safety of some hair dyes is still needed, in particular in order to investigate a potential link between long term regular use of permanent hair dyes and an increased risk for bladder cancer, as requested by the SCCNFP. Therefore the 60 remaining hair dyes should be included in Annex III, Part 2. Entry 8 of Annex III, Part 1, covers a group of phenylendiamine derivatives used as hair dyes. In order to avoid double entries, the text in column b should be amended to except those derivatives listed elsewhere in Annex III.
(7) The SCCNFP recommends that musk xylene can be safely used in cosmetic products, excluding oral care products, up to a maximum daily theoretically absorbed dose of about 10 Îźg/kg/day. Therefore, until the risk assessment of this substance in the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93(5) on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances is finalised, musk xylene should be included in Annex III, Part 2.
(8) The SCCNFP recommends that musk ketone can be safely used in cosmetic products, excluding oral care products, up to a maximum daily theoretically absorbed dose of about 14 Îźg/kg/day. Therefore, until the risk assessment of this substance in the framework of Regulation (EEC) 793/93 is finalised, musk ketone should be included in Annex III, Part 2.
(9) The SCCNFP has expressed the opinion that the UV-filter dimethicodiethylbenzalmalonate can be safely used in cosmetic products under certain restrictions. Therefore, dimethicodiethylbenzalmalonate should be included in Annex VII, Part 1.
(10) The SCCNFP has expressed the opinion that titanium dioxide can be safely used as UV-filter in cosmetic products under certain restrictions. Therefore, titanium dioxide should be included in Annex VII, Part 1.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Cosmetic Products Sector,
Directive 76/768/EEC is hereby amended as indicated in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that cosmetic products containing the substances listed in Annexes II, III and VII to Directive 76/768/EEC, as set out in the Annex to this Directive, which are supplied to the final consumer after 15 April 2004, comply with the provisions of this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 15 April 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
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.
This Directive shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas:
(1) An inspection has been carried out on behalf of the Commission in the Republic of Honduras to verify the conditions under which fishery products are produced, stored and dispatched to the Community.
(2) The requirements in the legislation of Honduras 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 "Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agropecuaria (Senasa)" is capable of effectively verifying the implementation of the legislation 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 Honduras. In particular those 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) It is also necessary to draw up a list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores, and a list of freezer vessels equipped in accordance with the requirements of Council Directive 92/48/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the minimum hygiene rules applicable to fishery products caught on board of certain vessels in accordance with article 3(1) (a) (I) of Directive 91/493/EEC(3). These lists should be drawn up on the basis of a communication from the Senasa to the Commission.
