THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3488/89 of 21 November 1989 laying down the method of decision for certain provisions laid down for agricultural products in the framework of Mediterranean agreements (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the agreements concluded with various Mediterranean third countries, the Commission may decide to adjust the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables originating in those countries taking account of the annual reviews of trade flows by product and country pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 1989 concerning the procedure to be applied to certain agricultural products originating in various Mediterranean third countries (2);
Whereas an examination of the outlook for export flows of table grapes originating in Cyprus in the light of the overall trend on the Community market effectively results in the entry price for those products being adjusted;
Whereas the adjustment of the entry price must relate to the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded in the Community for the calculation of the entry price for table grapes referred to in Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1156/92 (4); whereas a reduction of one half is likely to meet the desired objective; whereas that reduction for the period 8 June to 4 August within the limit of given quantities pursuant to the Mediterranean agreements must only apply, however, from 21 July, the date of entry into force of the reference price for table grapes;
Whereas, in order to ensure that this system is effective, the trend in imports of such products must be monitored; whereas, in this respect, quantities of table grapes imported within the 1992 tariff quota are to be the subject of statistical monitoring under the administration of the latter pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3913/91 (5); whereas quantities imported outside that quota and up to 10 500 tonnes should be made subject to Community surveillance;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the purposes of calculating the entry price referred to in Article 24 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for table grapes originating in Cyprus and covered by CN code 0806 10 19 (serial number 190040), the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded shall be reduced by one half during the period 21 July to 4 August 1992. That reduction shall apply to up to 10 500 tonnes.
1. Imports of table grapes originating in Cyprus outside the tariff quota of 9 500 tonnes fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3913/92 and up to the maximum of 10 500 tonnes referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to Community surveillance.
2. As and when the products are presented to customs under cover of declarations of release for free circulation together with a movement certificate for the goods, they shall be charged against the quantities concerned.
Goods may only be charged against that quantity if the goods movement certificate is presented before the date from which those preferential arrangements cease to apply.
The extent to which a quantity is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of imports charged against it under the conditions laid down in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission of imports effected, at the intervals and within the time limits indicated in paragraph 4.
3. Once the quantities in question are attained, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which those preferential arrangements cease to apply.
4. Member States shall forward to the Commission statements of quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five days from the end of each 10-day period.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 June 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the maintenance of crops of grain legumes such as lentils, chick-peas and vetches is in the Community economic interest and prevents imbalance on the Community market; whereas a reduction in areas traditionally under such crops would take place as a result of an increase in the production of crops which are already in surplus in the Community;
Whereas the objective of maintaining the said crops may be achieved by granting an aid per hectare; whereas the aid must be fixed at a level enabling the abovementioned objective to be achieved; whereas account must be taken when fixing the aid of measures taken in the framework of other existing arrangements; whereas in particular that aid must not be paid for areas qualifying for aid to encourage the withdrawal of arable land or to encourage the conversion of production pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 of 12 March 1985 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1137/88 (5);
Whereas, however, the effect of granting the aid must not be to encourage an increase in areas under the said crops; whereas a maximum guaranteed area, which if exceeded will result in a reduction of the aid for the following marketing year, should be determined,

The aid shall not be granted for areas qualifying for aid to encourage the withdrawal of arable land nor for areas qualifying for aid to encourage conversion of production pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 797/85.

- of the need to ensure the maintenance of areas traditionally under the said crops,
- of aids granted for the said crops under other Community rules.
2. Where the areas, on which the grain legumes referred to in Article 1 are grown, exceed a maximum guaranteed Community area, the aid shall be reduced for the following marketing year on the basis of the amount by which the maximum guaranteed area is exceeded. The maximum guaranteed area shall be the average of the areas cultivated in the Community in the 1985/86, 1986/87 and 1987/88 marketing years.
The areas of arable land to which point (b) of the third subparagbraph of Article 1a and also Article 1c of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 apply shall not be included when carrying out the verification provided for in the first subparagraph.
The production aid instituted by this Regulation shall be deemed an intervention measure to regulate the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (7).

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 January 2008
updating Annex A to the Monetary Agreement between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco
(2008/94/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Monetary Agreement of 24 December 2001 between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco (1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco (hereinafter ‘the Monetary Agreement’) requires the Principality of Monaco to apply the measures adopted by France to implement certain Community acts concerning the activity and prudential supervision of credit institutions and the prevention of systemic risks to payment and securities settlement systems. Those acts are listed in Annex A to the Agreement. That annex was last updated by Commission Decision 2006/558/EC (2). A number of acts in Annex A have been amended and the amending acts should be included in that Annex. A number of new Community acts falling within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement have been adopted and should also be included in Annex A.
(2) Directive 2006/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 amending Council Directives 78/660/EEC on the annual accounts of certain types of companies, 83/349/EEC on consolidated accounts, 86/635/EEC on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of banks and other financial institutions and 91/674/EEC on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of insurance undertakings (3) concerns the activity and supervision of credit institutions and amends Council Directive 86/635/EEC (4), which is already in Annex A. It therefore falls within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should also be included in Annex A.
(3) Directive 2006/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit institutions (recast) (5) concerns the activity and supervision of credit institutions. It therefore falls within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should also be included in Annex A. Directive 2006/49/EC moreover repeals Council Directive 93/6/EEC (6), as amended, inter alia, by Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) and Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), which should therefore be removed from Annex A.
(4) Council Directive 93/22/EEC of 10 May 1993 on investment services in the securities field (9) was repealed by Directive 2004/39/EC, as amended by Directive 2006/31/EC (10), and should therefore be removed from Annex A.
(5) Directive 2005/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2005 amending Council Directives 73/239/EEC, 85/611/EEC, 91/675/EEC, 92/49/EEC and 93/6/EEC and Directives 94/19/EC, 98/78/EC, 2000/12/EC, 2001/34/EC, 2002/83/EC and 2002/87/EC in order to establish a new organisational structure for financial services committees (11) concerns the activity and supervision of credit institutions and amends Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (12) and Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (13), which are already in Annex A. It therefore falls within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should also be included in Annex A.
(6) Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (recast) (14) concerns the activity and supervision of credit institutions. It therefore falls within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should be included in Annex A, with the exception of Titles III and IV. Directive 2006/48/EC repeals Directive 2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (15), as amended, inter alia, by Directive 2000/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (16), Directive 2002/87/EC and Directive 2004/39/EC, which should therefore be removed from Annex A. Moreover, since Directive 2006/48/EC amends Directive 2002/87/EC, which is listed in Annex A, it should also be included as amending the latter.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1287/2006 of 10 August 2006 implementing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards record-keeping obligations for investment firms, transaction reporting, market transparency, admission of financial instruments to trading, and defined terms for the purposes of that Directive (17) and Commission Directive 2006/73/EC of 10 August 2006 implementing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards organisational requirements and operating conditions for investment firms and defined terms for the purposes of that Directive (18) concern the activity and supervision of credit institutions and supplement Directive 2004/39/EC, as amended by Directive 2006/31/EC, which is already in Annex A. They therefore fall within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should also be included in Annex A.
(8) Directive 2000/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on the taking up, pursuit of and prudential supervision of the business of electronic money institutions (19) concerns the activity and supervision of credit institutions. It therefore falls within the scope of Article 11(2) of the Monetary Agreement and should also be included in Annex A.
(9) Annex A to the Monetary Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly. For the sake of clarity, Annex A should be replaced in its entirety.
(10) At its meeting on 13 September 2007, the Commission informed the Joint Committee of the need to update Annex A to the Monetary Agreement. The Joint Committee took note of the Commission’s position,
Annex A to the Monetary Agreement between the Government of the French Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Government of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco is replaced by the Annex to this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 introduces arrangements for the limitation of the guarantee applicable for each marketing year; whereas those arrangements provide that the reduction in the guarantee depends on the number of ewes compared with a maximum guaranteed level; whereas that reduction, fixed provisionally on the basis of an estimate of ewe numbers, must, where appropriate, be subsequently corrected on the basis of ewe numbers actually recorded for the marketing year in question;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/19/EEC (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 2 (1) (h) thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Greece, France, Italy and Portugal,
Whereas Member States may request the recognition as a protected zone, in particular, of a zone in which one or more harmful organisms referred to in the said Directive, which are established in one or more parts of the Community, are not endemic or established, despite conditions being favourable for them to establish themselves there;
Whereas by Commission Directive 92/76/EEC (3) the Commission has recognized certain such protected zones;
Whereas certain Member States have requested that certain zones be recognized as protected zones in respect of Citrus tristeza virus (European isolates);
Whereas the abovementioned requests should be based on the grounds that the results of appropriate surveys, monitored by Commission experts, confirm that one or more of the harmful organisms, in respect of which the zone is to be recognized as a protected zone, are not endemic or established there;
Whereas, however, the details of such surveys are not yet fully established at Community level;
Whereas the recognition should be provisional only and based on the available information submitted by the Member State concerned;
Whereas, based on recent new information by Italy, it appears that it is no longer appropriate to maintain the 'protected zones' recognized for Italy in respect of Dendroctonus micrans Kugelan, Ips amitinus Eichhof and Ips duplicatus Sahlbey because these organisms seem to be present locally;
Whereas, based on recent new information submitted by the UK, it appears that the 'protected zones' recognized for the UK, in respect of Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, should be extended because a larger zone seems to be free from the harmful organism;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Annex to Directive 92/76/EEC is hereby amended as indicated in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive on 15 December 1993. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall immediately communicate to the Commission all provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

(2) In accordance 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 a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(3) Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
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) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas the restriction on deliveries of potatoes for human consumption during the sensitive periods referred to in Title III of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2168/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1166/97 (4), is implemented by means of a procedure for the issue and presentation of 'potato delivery certificates`, hereinafter referred to as 'certificates`;
Whereas the detailed rules for the issue of the certificates must be adjusted to improve administration of the quantities available; whereas, in particular, in order to ensure a regular supply to the Canary Islands of potatoes for human consumption, the issue of certificates for quantities which are not intended to meet the direct needs of applicants should be avoided; whereas, to that end, it should be provided that the rights resulting from the certificates may not be transferred by the holder;
Whereas the replacement of certificates that are still valid by non-transferable certificates should be permitted;
Whereas, for the sake of a more ordered administration of supplies, a time limit for the validity of certificates should be laid down;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Regulation (EEC) No 2168/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 10 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. The certificate shall be drawn up on the basis of the import licence form in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88.
(3) and (5), and Article 10, Articles 13 to 16, 19 to 22, 24 to 31 and 33 to 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
The rights resulting from the certificate shall not be transferable during their period of validity.
The holders of certificates issued before 30 July 1997 which have not been fully used up before the end of their period of validity may, for the remaining quantities, request them to be replaced by certificates the rights under which may not be transferred, or request them to be cancelled and any security released.`

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3697/93 of 20 December 1993 withdrawing tariff concessions in accordance with Article 23 (2) and Article 27 (3) (a) of the Free Trade Agreement between the Community and Austria (General Motors Austria)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard of the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas a Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria, hereinafter referred to as 'the Agreement', was signed at Brussels on 22 July 1972 (1);
Whereas the Agreement eliminated customs duties in trade between the Community and Austria in respect of industrial products originating in the Contracting Parties within meaning of Protocol 3 to the Agreement;
Whereas the Agreement requires the Contracting Parties to provide fair conditions of competition for trade;
Whereas Article 23 (1) (III) of the said Agreement stipulates that any public aid affecting trade between the Community and Austria which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is incompatible with the proper functioning of the Agreement;
Whereas, in a declaration published at the same time as the Agreement, the Community stated that it would assess any practices contrary to the abovementioned Article on the basis of criteria arising from the application of Article 92 of the Treaty;
Whereas in March 1991 the Commission learned that the Austrian federal and regional authorities intended to grant official aid of 15 % to General Motors Austria (GMA) for its investment to expand component productions of gearboxes, camshafts and cylinder heads at its plant in Aspern/Vienna, with the gearboxes being imported into the Community to assemble them into General Motors cars and the engine components exported to Hungary for assembly into General Motors engines;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2837/72 of 19 December 1972 on safeguard measures provided for in the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria (2) provides that in such cases the Commission must assess the case, either on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, and give its opening on whether or not the practices in question are compatible with the Agreement;
Whereas the aided investment programme was intended to rationalize production and expand output in the Vienna plant;
Whereas the contract with the federal authorities granting 10 % aid up to a ceiling of 450 million Austrian schillings for investment totalling 4 471 million Austrian schillings was signed by the parties in question on 21 July 1992 and there also exists a similar contract with the regional authorities granting 5 % aid up to a ceiling of 225 million Austrian schillings for the same investment;
Whereas further information requested by the Commission was sent by the Austrian Government in January 1993;
Whereas after a detailed assessment of the case and further contacts with the Austrian authorities in February 1993, the GMA case was officially referred to the Joint Committee on 25 February 1993, in accordance with Article 27 (2) and (3) (a) of the Agreement specified above, where a further list of demands for clarification was handed over to the Austrian authorities;
Whereas the Commission informed the Austrian authorities at the Joint Committee meeting that, on the basis of the information available at that stage, the Commission considered the State aid in question to be incompatible with Article 23 of the Agreement and that on the basis of the criteria incorporated in the method adopted by the Commission for the application of Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) of the EEC Treaty to regional aid, and on the basis of the Community framework for the motor vehicle sector, the investment project in question at Aspern/Vienna would not be eligible for regional aid;
Whereas the Joint Committee agreed that there would be expert talks with a view to seeking a mutually acceptable solution, in accordance with Article 27 (2) and (3), and that the Commission requested that such solution be found before Easter 1993;
Whereas no mutually acceptable solution was arrived at within the timespan set by the Commission;
Whereas in further technical meetings, the Austrian authorities have provided some additional technical information confirming that capacity would indeed be increased by the revised investment plan to the numbers quoted in March 1991 and that the budget has also been revised upwards to 4 718 million Austrian schillings. Including other expenditure on product development, plant engineering, interest during construction and training, the overall project cost has now risen to 5 380 million Austrian schillings bringing the aid intensity down to 12,5 %. A legal memorandum dated 15 April 1993 has been transmitted by Austria to the Commission;
Whereas the first F15 gearboxes originating in Austria and benefiting from tariff preferences under the Agreement have been imported into the Community in the first half of 1993;
Whereas General Motors can deliver these gearboxes to its assembly plants in the Community at prices that are lower than they would have been if the company had not received such a level of aid;
Whereas in the sensitive automobile sector in which Community producers are active in the same market, an unjustified State aid distorts competition by favouring a given company, especially since companies located in the Community would in a similar position not have received such aid and, given that a larger part of the products in question are destined for the Community, affects trade between the Community and Austria;
Whereas the gearbox constitutes a high value component of the small or medium car model of the GM Group, which form part of segments of the car market where the fiercest price competition can be observed, and large aid to such component represents a significant proportion of the value added of the car generated by the company, so that the aid poses a real risk of distortion of the car trade in Europe;
Whereas, contrary to what has been argued by General Motors, trade distortions do not only arise at the level of the final product. Various alternative non-GM producers could have produced the components at competitive prices. Among the six alternative gearbox producers mentioned by General Motors in its legal memorandum, four have plants located in the European Community. As such, the aid may have been a decisive element in choosing for in-house component production and may as such have distorted trade in the component sector;
Whereas Article 27 (3) of the Agreement stipulates that if a Contracting Party fails to put and end to the practice objected to within the period fixed by the Joint Committee or, in the absence of agreement in the Joint Committee, within three months of the matter being referred to it, the other Contracting Party may adopt any safeguard measures it considers necessary to deal with the serious difficulties resulting from the practices in question; in particular it may withdraw tariff concessions;
Whereas aid for the gearbox manufacturing by General Motors at a time when the entire automotive industry is facing serious overcapacity problems in Western Europe in circumstances where aid would not be granted in the Community, causes serious difficulties;
Whereas the safeguard measure which appears the best adapted to remedy the distortion of competition and the effect on trade which arises out of the existence of the aid is the introduction of duties at a level equal to the level of customs duties which would have prevailed if the Agreement had not entered into force as long as the aid has such distorting effects;
Whereas the foreseeable period during which the aid can have those effects is the average fiscal depreciation of the aided investments;
Whereas therefore a duty of 4,9 % should be applied on the abovementioned period or until such earlier time as the Council concludes that the aids in questions are no longer having a distortive effect on competition and trade,
A 4,9 % duty is hereby reintroduced for F15 car gearboxes produced by General Motors Austria falling within ex CN code 8708 40 10 (Taric additional code 8996; other: Taric additional code 8997) and originating in Austria within the meaning of Protocol 3 to the Free Trade Agreement between the Community and Austria.
This 4,9 % duty shall apply for a period equivalent to the average fiscal depreciation period or until such earlier time as the Council, on the basis of a Commission proposal, concludes that the aids in question are no longer having a distortive effect on competition and trade.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1420/87 of 21 May 1987 laying down implementing rules for Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (3) lays down the list of countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations and specifies the general criteria on the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage;
Whereas, following the taking of a number of decisions on the allocation of food aid, the Commission has allocated to certain countries and beneficiary organizations 1 378 tonnes of refined rape seed oil;
Whereas it is necessary to provide for the carrying-out of this measure in accordance with the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 of 8 July 1987 laying down general rules for the mobilization in the Community of products to be supplied as Community food aid (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 790/91 (5); whereas it is necessary to specify the time limits and conditions of supply and the procedure to be followed to determine the resultant costs;
Whereas, notably for logistical reasons, certain supplies are not awarded within the first and second deadlines for submission of tenders; whereas, in order to avoid republication of the notice of invitation to tender, a third deadline for submission of tenders should be opened,
Refined rape seed oil shall be mobilized in the Community as Community food aid for supply to the recipients listed in the Annexes, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 and under the conditions set out in the Annexes. Supplies shall be awarded by the tendering procedure.
The successful tenderer is deemed to have noted and accepted all the general and specific conditions applicable. Any other condition or reservation included in his tender is deemed unwritten.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the Community and weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined with effect from 1 July 1997;
Whereas, under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six months; whereas it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half-years;
Whereas the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 1997 in respect of which payment has been made on the basis of a previous Regulation could lead to retrospective adjustments to remuneration (positive or negative);
Whereas provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in remunerations as a result of these weightings;
Whereas provision should be made for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a reduction in remunerations as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 July 1997 and the date of the Council Decision setting the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 1997;
Whereas, however, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the European Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Communities, provision should be made for any such recovery to apply solely to a period of no more than six months preceding the decision and for its effects to be spread over a period of no more than twelve months following the date of the said decision,
With effect from 1 July 1997, the weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment shall be as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the general budget of the European Communities for the month preceding the date referred to in the first paragraph.
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council shall set weightings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings with effect from 1 January 1998.

(2) The ADR is updated every two years. Consequently, the amended version will be in force with effect from 1 January 2003, with a transitional period up to 30 June 2003.
(3) Annex C contains references to marginals which must become points.
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend the Annexes to Directive 94/55/EC.

2. Annex B is replaced by the following:
"ANNEX B

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) and Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined the application from France for approval to amend the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Melon du Quercy’ registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1165/2004 (2).
(2) The purpose of this application is to amend the specification concerning the names of the communes included in the geographical area for ‘Melon du Quercy’, since five communes were mistakenly omitted from the list when the names of the cantons and communes were transcribed from the map.
(3) The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since this concerns a minor amendment, in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may adopt it without using the procedure set out in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of that Regulation,
The specification for the geographical indication ‘Melon du Quercy’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
A summary of the main points of the specification is given in Annex II to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the United Kingdom,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1982 in at least one of the Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1984, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to the variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the United Kingdom has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas the varieties listed in this Decision have been the subject of official growing trials in the United Kingdom;
Whereas, in respect of the variety Catalpa (Italian ryegrass), the results of the trials show that in the United Kingdom, when compared with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties there, which apply within the framework of current Community provisions, it is not distinct from other varieties accepted there (Article 15 (3) (a), first case, of the said Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the application of the United Kingdom in respect of this variety should be granted in full;
Whereas the application for other varieties is now being carefully examined by the Commission; whereas it is impossible to complete examination of the varieties Bingo and Bushreal (sugar beet), before the time limit specified in Article 15 (1) of the said Directive;
Whereas the time limit in question should therefore, where the United Kingdom is concerned, be extended for an appropriate period in order to allow complete examination of the application in respect of these varieties (Article 15 (7) of the above Directive);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following variety listed in the 1985 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
Fodder plants:
- Lolium multiflorum L.,
- Catalpa.
The authorization given in Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions thereof are no longer satisfied.
The United Kingdom shall notify the Commission of the date from which it makes use of the authorization under Article 1 and the detailed methods to be followed. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
The time limit specified in Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC is, where the United Kingdom is concerned, extended from 31 December 1984 to 31 March 1985 in respect of the following varieties:
Sugar beet:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and imports from third countries of equidae(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/298/EC(2), and in particular Article 13(2), Article 15, Article 16, Article 19(i) and (ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Peru is included in Part 2, special column for registered horses, of the Annex of Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1979 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of bovine animals, swine, equidae, sheep and goats, fresh meat and meat products(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/117/EEC(4).
(2) By Commission Decision 92/160/EEC of 5 March 1992 establishing the regionalisation of certain third countries for imports of equidae(5), as last amended by Decision 2001/611/EC(6), Peru is regionalised to restrict the re-entry after temporary export of registered horses to the metropolitan area of Lima only.
(3) Commission Decision 93/195/EEC(7), as last amended by Decision 2001/611/EC, established the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the re-entry of registered horses after temporary export to Peru.
(4) Commission Decisions 92/260/EEC(8) and 93/197/EEC(9), as last amended by Decision 2001/611/EC, laid down respectively the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for temporary admission and imports of registered horses.
(5) Following a Commission veterinary inspection mission to Peru the animal health situation appears to be under the satisfactory control of the veterinary services and in particular the movement of equidae into certain parts of the territory from the rest of the country appears to be well controlled.
(6) The veterinary authorities of Peru have provided a written undertaking to notify within 24 hours by telefax, telegram or telex to the Commission and the Member States the confirmation of any infectious or contagious disease in equidae mentioned in Annex A of Directive 90/426/EEC, which are compulsory notifiable in the country, and within due time any change in the vaccination or import policy in respect of equidae.
(7) Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis has not been reported in the country for more than two years, however the disease is reported in adjacent countries.
(8) Peru cannot be considered free from vesicular stomatitis, which is reported in cattle in many parts of the country and in horses in the northern Andean valleys.
(9) A recently completed survey for glanders and dourine has substantiated the absence of these diseases in Peru and equine viral arteritis has not been reported for many years.
(10) For reason of the health situation in certain neighbouring countries Peru has implemented a regionalisation, restricting the movement of equidae from the northern parts of the country into the rest of the territory, and the movement of equidae out of the Lima region is under direct control of the central veterinary services.
(11) Therefore it appears appropriate to amend Decision 92/160/EEC so as to allow importation into the Community of registered horses from the region of Lima.
(12) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification for temporary admission and imports into the Member States of registered horses must be adopted according to the animal health situation of the third country concerned and Decisions 92/260/EEC and 93/197/EEC must be amended accordingly.
(13) For clarity the ISO country code should be used for amendments of lists of third countries.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
In the Annex to Decision 92/160/EEC the heading "Peru(1)" is replaced by the heading "Peru", and the words "Metropolitan area of Lima" are replaced by the words "Region of Lima".
Decision 92/260/EEC is amended as follows:
1. The list of third countries in Group D of Annex I is replaced by the following: "Argentina (AR), Barbados (BB), Bermuda (BM), Bolivia (BO), Brazil(1) (BR), Chile (CL), Cuba (CU), Jamaica (JM), Mexico(1) (MX), Peru(1) (PE), Paraguay (PY), Uruguay (UY)".
2. The title of the health certificate set out in Annex II(D) is replaced by the following: "HEALTH CERTIFICATE
for the temporary admission of registered horses into Community territory from Argentina, Barbados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil(1), Chile, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico(1), Peru(1), Paraguay, Uruguay for a period of less than 90 days".
Decision 93/197/EEC is amended as follows:
1. The list of third countries in Group D of Annex I is replaced by the following: "Argentina (AR), Barbados(2) (BB), Bermuda(2) (BM), Bolivia(2) (BO), Brazil(1) (BR), Chile (CL), Cuba(2) (CU), Jamaica(2) (JM), Mexico(1) (MX), Peru (1)(2) (PE), Paraguay (PY), Uruguay (UY)".
2. The title of the health certificate set out in Annex II (D) is replaced by the following: "HEALTH CERTIFICATE
for imports into Community territory of registered horses form Barbados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Cuba, Jamaica, Peru(1) and of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production from Argentina, Brazil(1), Chile, Mexico(1), Paraguay, Uruguay".

Whereas the deferring of the date shall be made on a country-by-country basis, taking into account the programme for assessing the conditions prevalent in the respective third countries;
Whereas it has been impossible to set up such programme, in the absence of Community conditions; whereas for the time limit being the date of 1 January 1993 must be deferred for third countries in general;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4026/86 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas scientific observations in 1929, 1947, 1963 and 1986 showed that the occurrence of below average sea temperatures in the North Sea during the period January to April resulted in sole concentrating in certain well defined areas;
Whereas those same observations showed that under those conditions exceptionally high catches of sole were taken because the fishery was directed towards those areas;
Whereas the temperature of the North Sea is falling to the level at which the sequence of events described will probably occur in 1987, observed sea temperatures in January being already as low as in February during an average winter;
Whereas the spawning stock biomass of North Sea sole is at its lowest recorded level, below which recruitment to the fishery could fall to exceptionally low levels according to the latest scientific advice;
Whereas if large catches of sole are taken as a result of the sequence of events described, the spawning stock biomass will be further reduced before spawning takes place in May and June, thus increasing the probability of a failure of recruitment;
Whereas experience of the fishery of herring in the North Sea, where such a failure of recruitment did occur, shows that severe long-term economic consequences result;
Whereas to avoid such consequences, action should be taken to prevent fishing on such concentrations of sole in the period ending 15 April 1987;
Whereas a limitation on the percentage of sole which it is permitted to have on board or to land would prevent the fishery being concentrated on areas of exceptional abundance, while having minimal effect on fisheries for other species;
Whereas such action needs to be taken immediately if it is to be effective in conserving the stock; whereas such action should therefore be taken in accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Resources has not given an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Until 15 April 1987 it shall be prohibited to have on board after sorting or to land more than 30 % of sole (Solea solea) which have been caught when fishing with any trawl, Danish seine or similar towed net, measured as a percentage by weight of the total catch of fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
This prohibition shall apply only to catches taken in the North Sea, as defined in Article 1 (5) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(1) The Agreement between the European Union and Thailand (2) with respect to rice, approved by Council Decision 2005/953/EC (3), provides that, for broken rice, the Union has to apply an import duty of EUR 65 per tonne.
(2) To implement the Agreement between the Union and Thailand, Article 140 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (4) set the import duty on broken rice at EUR 65 per tonne.
(3) Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, which repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, does not contain a provision similar to Article 140 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

Whereas:
(1) The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1921/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 570/1999(4), are designed to complement or alternatively derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88(5) which was repealed and replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(6).

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Regulation (EEC) No 4052/86 (4), exports of aluminium and lead waste and scrap were made subject, for 1987, to production of a prior export licence to be issued by the appropriate authorities of the Member States according to procedures to be laid down; whereas these arrangements expire on 31 December 1987; whereas it is advisable to retain them for 1988 with a view to following closely the trend of exports of the products concerned;
Whereas Community refiners are continuing to experience supply difficulties over the whole spectrum of copper materials; whereas these difficulties derive in particular from the current imbalance of tariff and non-tariff measures on the world copper market; whereas the quota system in force in 1987 under Regulation (EEC) No 4052/86 should, therefore, be maintained in 1988 for exports of copper ash and residues and copper waste and scrap;
Whereas the estimate of requirements is a satisfactory criterion for the allocation of quotas among third countries;
Whereas the provisions relating to the monitoring of intra-Community trade laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (5) apply only if the measures introducing export restrictions provide for their application;
Whereas the Commission set up by Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 has been consulted,
1. Community exports between 1 January and 31 December 1988 of aluminium waste and scrap falling within subheading 7602 00 of the combined nomenclature and lead waste and scrap falling within subheading 7802 00 of the said nomenclature shall be subject to production of an export licence to be issued by the appropriate authorities of the Member States. The licence shall be issued free of charge, for such quantities as are requested, subject to the provisions set out below.
2. The export licence shall be issued within not more than 15 working days of the date of the application, on presentation by the applicant of a sales contract for the entire quantity applied for.
The licence shall be valid for two months.
3. Each Member State shall inform the Commission of the following within the first 15 days of each month:
(a) the quantities in tonnes and the prices of the products for which export licences have been issued during the previous month;
(b) the quantities in tonnes of products which have been exported during the month preceding that referred to under point (a);
(c) the quantities in tonnes authorized for export or exported under inward or outward processing arrangements;
(d) the third country of destination.
The Commission shall pass this information to the Member States.
Community export quotas shall be established as follows for 1988:
(tonnes)
1.2.3 // // // // CN code // Description // Quantity // // // // ex 2620 // Ash and residues of copper and copper alloys // 28 500 // ex 7404 00 // Waste and scrap of copper and copper alloys // 36 280 // // //
The quotas specified in Article 2 shall be allocated according to the estimate of requirements.
1. Exports of the goods referred to in Article 2 shall not be charged against the quota of the exporting Member State:
(a) Where the goods are exported in the unaltered state or as compensating products under the inward processing relief arrangements, suspension system, provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1999/85 (1), as long as goods complying with the conditions of Articles 9 and 10 of the Treaty are not used in the manufacture of the said compensating products;
(b) where goods not complying with Articles 9 and 10 of the Treaty are exported after having been placed in customs warehouses in accordance with Council Directive 69/74/EEC of 4 March 1969 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to customs warehousing procedure (2), or in free zones in accordance with Council Directive 69/75/EEC of 4 March 1969 on the harmonization of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to free zones (3).
(3) (c) and (d) shall apply.
2. Temporary exports of the goods referred to in Article 2 shall be charged against the quota of the exporting Member State.
However, a decision allowing goods not to be charged by using the outward processing arrangements provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2473/86 (4) may be taken under the procedure set out in Article 11 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1023/70.
Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 shall apply to the movement within the Community of the products listed in Article 2.
The Council shall decide in due time, and in any case before 31 December 1988, on the measures to be taken regarding the export of the products listed in Articles 1 and 2 after this Regulation has expired.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1877/2003(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1948/2002(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund.

of 20 December 2004
amending Regulations (EC) Nos 2340/2002 and 2347/2002 as concerns fishing opportunities for deep sea species for the new Member States which acceded in 2004
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded (‘2003 Act of Accession’) (1), and in particular Article 57(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In the 2003 Act of Accession no adaptation was made to Council Regulation (EC) No 2340/2002 of 16 December 2002 fixing for 2003 and 2004 the fishing opportunities for deep-sea fish stocks (2) to allocate fishing opportunities for deep sea species to the new Member States. It is therefore necessary to allocate such fishing opportunities for 2004 to the Member States which acceded in 2004 taking into account fishing patterns similar to those used in 2002, in order to allow the fishermen of these Member States to continue their activities.
(2) The allocation of fishing opportunities should not lead to the result that catches legally taken before 1 May 2004 are liable to quota deductions under Article 23(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (3), Article 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year to year management of TACs and quotas (4) or Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (5).
(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 2347/2002 of 16 December 2002 establishing specific access requirements and associated conditions applicable to fishing for deep sea stocks (6) lays down power and capacity ceilings on the fishing fleet that may land significant quantities of deep sea species, and determines a reference period for establishing those ceilings, namely the three years prior to its entry into force. It is necessary that the reference period for establishing those ceilings take into account the recent years in order to allow the fishermen of the Member States which acceded in 2004 to continue their activities.
(4) With a view to allow the application of Regulations (EC) Nos 2340/2002 and 2347/2002 to the Member States which acceded in 2004 as from the date of Accession, it is imperative that this Regulation enters into force on 1 May 2004.
(5) Regulations (EC) Nos 2340/2002 and 2347/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 2340/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following Article shall be inserted:
2. the following Article 4a shall be inserted:
3. Annex I shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
In Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2347/2002 the following paragraph shall be added:
‘3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the Member States which acceded in 2004 shall calculate the aggregate power and the aggregate volume of their vessels which, in any one of the years 2000, 2001 or 2002, have landed more than 10 tonnes of any mixture of deep-sea species. These aggregate values shall be communicated to the Commission.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2004.
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 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| REGULATION (EEC) No 985/68 OF THE COUNCIL of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 1 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Article 6 (6) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 provides for Community intervention measures on the market in butter and cream;
Whereas the Council must lay down general rules for intervention measures relating to public storage, aid for private storage and the disposal of stored butter;
Whereas maintenance of the quality of butter is crucial for the competitive position of that product on the market ; whereas the intervention policy must take account of that fact and enable stocks to be held on the most effective basis possible;
Whereas butter standards must therefore be determined ; whereas such standards must in particular ensure that butter is suitable for storage under satisfactory conditions ; whereas for these reasons, as from the date of application of the provisions adopted pursuant to Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, only butter manufactured by approved undertakings should qualify for intervention ; whereas transitional provisions relating to qualities of butter, applicable up to that date, must therefore be adopted;
Whereas it is for the intervention agency to ensure that storage processes allow the butter to be kept in good condition ; whereas, to this end, criteria should be laid down for designating the cold storage depot for the butter;
Whereas intervention arrangements must take account of the development of the market situation ; whereas intervention should be possible throughout the milk year ; whereas, however, there should be provision for ceasing to buy in when the situation so allows;
Whereas, from a technical point of view, adoption of the free-at-cold-storage-depot price for intervention simplifies the implementation of intervention measures by public agencies ; whereas, when the distance between the cold storage depot and the place from which the butter is despatched exceeds certain limits, the additional transport costs should be borne by the intervention agency;
Whereas disposal of butter held by intervention agencies should, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, take place in such a way as to ensure equal access to the products for sale and equal treatment of purchasers ; whereas in general the tendering procedure serves this end ; whereas where some other form of sale has to be adopted, equivalent conditions must be provided ; whereas provision should be made for taking into account special conditions which may arise when the product is to be exported;
Whereas aid for the private storage of butter and cream provided for in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 should be granted in accordance with Community provisions laying down in particular the precise conditions for granting such aid ; whereas to ensure uniformity in the Community provisions should be made for a Community form of storage contract and a uniform method of calculating the amount of aid according to the cost of storage and market developments;
Whereas private storage must contribute to the attainment of a balanced market ; whereas Community rules should be provided to ensure the orderly function of this form of storage; 1OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13.
1. Intervention agencies shall buy in only such butter as: (a) is produced by an approved undertaking;
(b) meets standards as to keeping quality to be determined;
(c) does not, at the time of buying in, exceed an age to be fixed;
(d) satisfies requirements to be determined on minimum quantity, packing and labelling.
2. An undertaking shall be approved if it manufactures butter qualifying for the control stamp provided for in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, and provided that butter for intervention reaches the standards as to keeping quality referred to in paragraph 1.
3. The condition mentioned in paragraph 1 (a) shall apply only from the date of implementation of the provisions adopted in accordance with Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68. Until that date: (a) the intervention agencies shall buy in only such butter as is: - graded "beurre de marque de contrôle" as regards Belgian butter,
- graded "Markenbutter" as regards German butter,
- graded "pasteurisé A" as regards French butter,
- produced exclusively from cream which has been subjected to centrifugal and pasteurising treatment, as regards Italian butter,
- graded "marque Rose" as regards Luxembourg butter,
- graded "Exportkwaliteit" as regards Netherlands butter;
(b) additional requirements regarding the keeping quality of butter may be laid down by the intervention agencies;
(c) holders of butter may offer it only to the intervention agency of the Member State in the territory of which the butter was produced.
1. The intervention agencies shall buy in throughout the milk year, butter of the kind mentioned in Article 1 which is offered to them.
2. The Council, acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission, shall lay down conditions for the suspension and resumption of buying in when the situation of the market in butter so allows.
1. The butter shall be delivered to a cold storage depot appearing on the list referred to in Article 4 and designated by the intervention agency.
The intervention agency shall choose the available cold storage depot nearest to the place where the butter is stored. However, in special cases to be determined, another cold storage depot may be chosen.
2. The intervention price shall apply to butter delivered to a cold storage depot not further from the place where it was stored than a distance to be determined.
3. If the cold storage depot to which the butter is delivered is situated at a distance greater than that referred to in paragraph 2, the additional transport charges, to be determined at a flat rate, shall be borne by the intervention agency.
A list of cold storage depots shall be drawn up before the beginning of the milk year, in the light of information supplied by the Member States ; it may be amended during that year. Only storage depots satisfying criteria to be determined shall appear on the list.
The sale of butter held by the intervention agency shall take place when the date of its remarketing, the quantities involved and the conditions of sale have been determined. A minimum selling price shall also be fixed.
1. When butter held by the intervention agency is put on sale for export, special conditions may be laid down in order to guarantee that the product is not diverted from its destination and to take account of the special requirements for such sales.
2. When butter is put on sale for export a deposit guaranteeing fulfilment of the obligations undertaken may be required ; it shall be forfeited in whole or in part if the obligations are not fulfilled or are only partially fulfilled.
1. Equal access to the butter or to the product processed therefrom sold by the intervention agency shall be ensured for purchasers, whether by a tendering procedure or by direct sale to any interested party at a fixed price, or by any other method providing equivalent guarantees.
2. Tenders shall be considered only if a deposit is lodged.
The deposit shall be forfeited in whole or in part if obligations are not fulfilled or are only partially fulfilled.
1. Implementation of the measures taken pursuant to Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be ensured by the intervention agency of the Member State on the territory of which is located the cold storage depot where the butter or cream for which aid is granted will be stored.
The intervention agency of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg shall, however, be authorised to conclude contracts for storing butter or cream on the territory of another Member State, provided that the supervision provided for in paragraph 9 (1) (f) is assured.
2. Private storage aid shall be conditional on the conclusion of a storage contract with the intervention agency. Such contract shall be drawn up in accordance with provisions to be laid down.
The intervention agency shall conclude a contract with any interested party capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract.
3. The conclusion of the contract may be subject to the lodging of a deposit guaranteeing that, the storer will store the quantities shown in the contract within the time limit laid down. The deposit shall be forfeited in whole or in part if storage is not effected or is only partially effected within such time.
4. Until the date on which the provisions adopted in accordance with Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 apply the intervention agency of a Member State may conclude a contract for butter only if that butter is produced in that Member State and if it is: - graded "beurre de marque de contrôle" as regards Belgian butter;
- graded "Markenbutter" as regards German butter;
- graded "pasteurisé A" as regards French butter;
- produced exclusively from cream which has been subjected to centrifugal and pasteurising treatment as regards Italian butter;
- graded "marque Rose" as regards Luxembourg butter;
- graded "Exportkwaliteit" as regards Netherlands butter.
1. The storage contract shall in particular include provisions as to: (a) the quantity of butter or cream to which the contract relates;
(b) the amount of aid;
(c) the deposit, if any;
(d) the dates relating to the execution of the contract, subject to the provisions of paragraph 2;
(e) conditions to be laid down as to the minimum quantity of the product per lot;
(f) the inspection measures which shall relate in particular to the nature of the stocks and whether the quantities stored agree with the quantities declared.
2. Should the situation on the Community market so require the intervention agency may be authorised to remarket some or all of the stored butter or cream.
0
1. The amount of private storage aid shall be fixed for the Community with reference to storage costs and foreseeable price trends for fresh butter and stored butter.
In cases where, at the time of removal from store, the market has developed unfavourably under conditions which could not be foreseen, the amount of aid may be increased.
2. If the state of the market so requires, the amount of aid may be amended for future contracts.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the United Kingdom,
Whereas in the United Kingdom the production of seed of winter varieties of field bean (Vicia faba L. partim) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1995 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the United Kingdom should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 December 1995 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply the United Kingdom with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The United Kingdom is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 December 1995 the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 4 000 tonnes of seed of winter varieties of field bean (Vicia faba L. partim) which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 75 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 75 %.`
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.

Whereas a situation may arise in which because of uncontrollable circumstances duly completed returns cannot be made in respect of certain returning holdings ; whereas it is therefore necessary, in order to ensure that at the end of the accounting year the required number of 10 000 returns is obtained, that the number of returning holdings selected be in excess of that figure ; whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation No 91/66/EEC 2 of 29 June 1966 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings should accordingly be amended;
Whereas the extent to which this happens varies according to division and to category of holding ; whereas, therefore, the number of returning holdings to be selected in order to obtain at the end of the accounting year the required number of farm returns must be capable of variation within certain limits according to the division and the category of holding;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network;
The following shall be substituted for paragraphs (1) and (2) of Article 3 of Regulation No 91/66/EEC:

Whereas import licences have been issued for the first quantity of 5 000 tonnes since 2 June 1994, and, by Regulation (EC) No 1270/94 (4), the Commission has suspended the issuing of the certificates concerned until 31 August 1994;
Whereas the reoccurrence of such demand after 1 September can only aggravate the situation which was the reason for Regulation (EC) No 1213/94; whereas that Regulation should be amended to provide for administration of the issuing of licences on a monthly basis;
Whereas, therefore, monthly quantities for which licences may be issued from 1 September 1994 should be fixed for the remainder of the total quantity of 10 000 tonnes;

of 26 July 1985
on precautionary measures in the cereals sector other than durum wheat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 5 and 155 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (2),
Whereas the marketing year for cereals other than durum wheat begins on 1 August; whereas the Council has not, to date, adopted the prices for those products for the 1985/86 marketing year, in accordance with Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75; whereas the Commission, in compance with the tasks entrusted to it by the Treaty, is obliged to adopt the precautionary measures essential to ensure continuity of operation of the common agricultural policy as regards cereals; whereas these measures are taken as a precaution and are without prejudice to the Council's price decisions for the 1985/86 marketing year;
Whereas the retention, even on a provisional basis, of the intervention prices paid during the 1984/85 marketing year would definitely involve the threat of very heavy sales of cereals from the new crop to intervention in anticipation of a possible reduction in the prices that will be adopted for the new marketing year; whereas, in order to prevent the management of the cereals sector being disrupted, the buying-in prices fixed for the 1984/85 marketing year should be reduced as a precautionary and interim measure;
Whereas Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides for a compulsory reduction in the target and intervention prices where the average actual production of the three most recent marketing years exceeds the guarantee thresholds set; whereas an automatic reduction of the prices in accordance with the provisions of that Article, on the basis of the amount by which the said thresholds were exceeded, would lead to a price reduction that would be excessive as a precautionary measure; whereas, accordingly, in the light of the positions adopted in the Council and in line with the Commission's amended proposal, this reduction should be limited to 1,8 %; whereas such a reduction leaves open the possibility of a later adjustment should the prices be fixed at a higher level;
Whereas the threshold prices are derived from the target prices, which are fixed by the Council; whereas, in order to ensure continuity of operation of the import and export arrangements for cereals and for processed products, a price to be used as a basis for calculation both for the fixing of the levies and for the adjustments to be made in the event of advance-fixing of the levy and of the refund should be calculated; whereas that price must be calculated using, on the one hand, an intervention buying-in price lower than the intervention price applicable during the 1984/85 marketing year and, on the other, the same factors as were taken into account for derivation of the threshold prices fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1413/84 (3);
Whereas the intervention and threshold prices are the subject of monthly increments; whereas these monthly increments are one of the key factors in the operation of the current intervention arrangements and in external trade in cereals; whereas, accordingly, the arrangements laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1020/84 (4) should be applied;
Whereas the purpose of the carry-over payment provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 is to prevent massive inflows to intervention at the end of the marketing year; whereas the Council has before it a Commission proposal that payments be made in respect of common wheat and of rye; whereas large quantities of both products have been kept in storage instead of being delivered for intervention at the end of May; whereas in order to enable the Council to decide, where appropriate, on effective compensation in regard to those stocks it should, as a precautionary measure, be specified that the Member States shall make a payment;
Whereas the production refunds for starch products and the premium for potato starch have not been altered; whereas, however, given the correlation reaffirmed by the Council in its discussions on prices for the 1985/86 marketing year, between the level of the threshold price for maize and the minimum price to be paid by the potato starch producer, the effect of the reduction of the intervention buying-in prices for maize on the threshold price for that product must, in order for balance to be maintained in the starch products sector between maize starch and potato starch production, be reflected in an adjustment of the minimum price to be paid by the potato starch producer; whereas the amount of 266,81 ECU specified in Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75 of 29 October 1975 on production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1026/84 (6), should accordingly be reduced to 262,54 ECU;
Whereas for the sake of clarity, Commission Decision 85/309/EEC (1) should be repealed;
The intervention agencies shall, when buying in common wheat, barley, maize and sorghum, apply a price equal to the common single intervention price fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1019/84 (2) less 3,29 ECU per tonne, and when buying in rye shall apply a price equal to the single intervention price fixed by that Regulation less 3,35 ECU per tonne. Those prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the premiums and penalties provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 (3).
For calculation of the adjustments to be made in the event of advance fixing of the import levies and of the export refunds, the price to be used for the month of import or export shall be:
- 249,95 ECU per tonne for common wheat and meslin;
- 229,58 ECU per tonne for rye;
- 227,58 ECU per tonne for barley, maize, sorghum, buckwheat and millet;
- 218,93 ECU per tonne for oats;
- 376,68 ECU per tonne for wheat flour and meslin flour;
- 350,41 ECU per tonne for rye flour;
- 406,81 ECU per tonne for groats and meal of common wheat.
The prices specified in Articles 1 and 2 shall be adjusted as from 1 September 1985 by the same amounts as the monthly increments fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1020/84.
1. The Member States shall make a payment for common wheat and rye intended for human consumption harvested in the Community and in storage there at the end of the 1984/85 marketing year.
2. The payment shall be equal to the difference between:
- in the case of common wheat, the single common intervention price valid on 1 August 1984 raised by seven monthly increases,
- in the case of rye, the single intervention price valid on 1 August 1984 raised by seven monthly increases, converted into national currency at the representative rate obtaining on 31 July 1985, and
- the buying-in prices specified in Article 1, converted into national currency at the representative rate obtaining on 1 August 1985.
If the calculation gives a negative amount, no payment shall be made.
3. The payment referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be made for common wheat and rye yielded by the 1985 harvest or meet meat the quality requirements called for at intervention during the 1984/85 marketing year.
For rye held by mills at the end of the marketing year, the milling thereof with a view to human consumption shall be taken as proof of sufficient quality. Proof of such milling shall be given by the end of 1985 at the latest.
4. The provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1821/81 (4) shall apply to the carry-over payment specified in this Article.
For the purposes of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75, the amount of the production refund shall be increased by an amount of not less than 262,54 ECU.
The provisions of this Regulation shall apply without prejudice to decisions to be taken by the Council under Articles 3, 6, 9 and 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75.
Decision No 85/309/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 1985.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘basic Regulation’) (1), and in particular Articles 9 and 14 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 of on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (2), and in particular Article 14 and 24 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. The anti-dumping proceeding and registration of imports
(1) On 3 June 2010, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping into the Union by imports of wireless wide area networking (WWAN) modems originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the PRC’). The said complaint also contained a request for the registration of imports pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
(2) The complaint was lodged by Option NV (‘the complainant’), the sole known producer of WWAN modems in the Union, representing 100 % of the total Union production.
(3) The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(4) The Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(3), accordingly initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of WWAN modems originating in the PRC and currently falling within CN codes ex 8471 80 00 and ex 8517 62 00.
(5) On 1 July 2010, the Commission made imports of the same product originating in the PRC subject to registration under Commission Regulation (EU) No 570/2010 (4).
(6) The Commission officially advised the complainant, exporting producers in the PRC, importers and users known to be concerned, associations of importers or users known to be concerned, raw material suppliers and service providers, and the representatives of the PRC of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(7) In accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of the basic Regulation the Commission performed some of the verification visits normally required. As far as dumping is concerned and in particular for the purposes of Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation the Commission focused on issues mentioned in Article 2(7)(c) and in particular on distortions related to decision making, corporate governance, loans, financing of companies and export credits. Although some initial indications hinting at distortions were revealed, the termination of this anti-dumping proceeding meant that this issue was not pursued.
2. The anti-subsidy proceeding and registration of imports
(8) On 2 August 2010, the Commission received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious subsidisation into the Union of imports of WWAN modems originating in the PRC. The said complaint also contained a request for the registration of imports pursuant to Article 24(5) of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009.
(9) The complaint was lodged by Option NV (‘the complainant’), the sole known producer of WWAN modems in the Union, representing 100 % of the total Union production.
(10) The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of subsidisation and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding.
(11) The Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(5), accordingly initiated an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Union of WWAN modems originating in the PRC and currently falling within CN codes ex 8471 80 00 and ex 8517 62 00.
(12) On 17 September 2010, the Commission made imports of the same product originating in the PRC subject to registration under Commission Regulation (EU) No 811/2010 (6).
(13) The Commission officially advised the complainant, exporting producers in the PRC, importers and users known to be concerned, associations of importers or users known to be concerned, raw material suppliers and service providers, and the representatives of the PRC of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
(14) By two letters of 26 October 2010 to the Commission, Option NV withdrew its anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints concerning imports of WWAN modems originating in the PRC. The reason for the withdrawal of the complaints was that Option NV had entered into a cooperation agreement with an exporting producer in the PRC.
(15) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009, when the complainant withdraws its complaint the proceeding may be terminated unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.
(16) The Commission considered that the present proceedings should be terminated since the respective anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment.
(17) Subsequent to the withdrawal of the complaints, one company contacted the Commission claiming that it was a Union producer of WWAN modems. The company subsequently argued that the proceedings should be continued in spite of the withdrawal of the complaints. It should be noted that the company came forward for the first time after the procedural deadlines in both proceedings provided to interested parties to come forward and make their views known as a Union producer and, as a consequence, failed to support the complaints lodged by Option before the latter were withdrawn.
(18) It should also be noted that the allegations and information put forward by this company were not such as to lead the Commission to conclude that it would be in the Union interest to pursue the present proceedings initiated further to Option’s complaints following the withdrawal of the latter. In this context, due account needed to be taken — in respect of the company’s claimed operations in relation to WWAN modems in the Union — concerning the company’s ability in practice to (i) play a role in the Union market for WWAN modems and moreover; (ii) provide for a possible shortage in supply, were measures to be imposed. Based on the information provided in this regard within the context of the present proceedings, it was concluded that it would be disproportionate to continue with the investigation and impose measures following the withdrawal of the complaints.
(19) No other comments were received indicating that termination of the present proceedings would not be in the Union interest.
(20) In the circumstances, the Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping and the anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports into the Union of WWAN modems originating in the PRC should be terminated without the imposition of measures.
(21) The registration of imports of WWAN modems originating in the PRC and declared under CN codes ex 8471 80 00 and ex 8517 62 00 in application of Regulations (EU) No 570/2010 and (EU) No 811/2010 should therefore be discontinued and the said Regulations repealed,
The anti-dumping and the anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Union of wireless wide area networking (WWAN) modems originating in the People’s Republic of China and currently falling under CN codes ex 8471 80 00 and ex 8517 62 00 are hereby terminated.
Customs authorities are hereby directed to discontinue the registration of imports established in application of Article 1 of Regulations (EU) No 570/2010 and (EU) No 811/2010.
Regulations (EU) No 570/2010 and (EU) No 811/2010 are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 3 June 1992 concerning applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain ball bearings originating in Singapore (NMB France Sarl) (Only the French text is authentic) (92/332/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 19 July 1984 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 (2), a definitive anti-dumping duty of 33,89 % was imposed on imports of certain ball bearings manufactured and exported by the Minebea group of companies and originating in Singapore. In September 1989 a review of the above measures was opened (3) in accordance with Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and the measure has remained in force pending the outcome of this review.
(2) NMB France Sarl, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan, applied, on a regular basis, for the refund of anti-dumping duties. This Decision concerns the refund claims lodged for the following amounts of anti-dumping duties paid between October 1990 and September 1991, namely [ . . . ] (4).
(3) Following submissions by the applicant with regard to the dumping margin during the above reference period, the Commission sought and verified all information deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the two exporters (NMB Singapore Ltd and Pelmec Singapore Ltd) and the sales company (Minebea Singapore Ltd) in Singapore. All these companies are owned by Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan.
Investigations were also carried out at the premises of related importers of Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan in the Community, including the applicant. The applicant complied with all requests for additional information to the satisfaction of the Commission and in accordance with the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (5) (hereinafter referred to as 'the notice'). Subsequently the applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment on them. It did so and the comments were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State disagreed with this opinion.
B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT
(5) The applicant has based its claims on the allegation that, for certain sales in the Community, export prices were such that either dumping did not exist or that dumping existed at a level lower than the level of the definitive duty of 33,89 %.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(6) The applications are admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular that concerning time limits.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(7) Pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and Part II of the notice, the applicant showed that the duty collected exceeded the dumping margins to varying degrees, depending on the shipment and the ball-bearing type concerned, partly as a result of a decrease in normal value.
(8) Concerning the methodology used for establishing dumping margins, the Commission had to take account of changes in the domestic market in Singapore. During the original investigation domestic sales were minimal and normal value had consequently to be constructed using costs of production and a fixed percentage for profit. During subsequent verification visits to Singapore, the Commission established that substantial domestic sales were made, in excess of the volume of total exports to the Community, and that the profit made on these representative sales was much higher than the estimated profit margins originally used for constructing the normal value. Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 provides that 'all refund calculations shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 or 3 and shall be based, as far as possible, on the same method applied in the original investigation, in particular, with regard to any application of averaging or sampling techniques.' This means that the actual normal value shall be established in a refund proceeding by respecting the hierarchy of methods as provided for by Article 2 (3) of that Regulation which requires that actual domestic prices should be used in all cases where they are available, the construction of the normal value being only a substitute for actual prices when these cannot be used. The Commission therefore decided to employ average domestic sales prices as a basis for normal value.
(9) Since all importers are related to the exporters, it was necessary to calculate the actual dumping margin by comparing the normal value with an export price constructed in accordance with Article 2 (8) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. That Article provides that an export price is constructed on the basis of the price at which the imported product is first resold to an independent buyer and that allowance shall be made for all costs incurred by the related importer between importation and resale, including customs duties, any anti-dumping duties and other taxes, and for a reasonable profit margin. Normal value and export prices were compared, according to the provisions of Article 2 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, and, since the importers are all related companies, a weighted-average dumping margin was calculated on the basis of all export transactions to the Community involving ball bearings originating in Singapore (i.e. a single weighted-average dumping margin for all related importers of Minebea Co. Ltd - NMB GmbH, NMB Italia Srl, NMB UK Ltd and NMB France Sarl).
(10) On this basis, it was found that the applications were partly founded. The actual dumping margin established for the reference period was 24,0 %.
(11) Consequently, the amount to be refunded is [ . . . ].
(12) The applicant claimed, however, that a higher amount should be refunded. It raised objections concerning the legality of a deduction of anti-dumping duties paid by importing companies related to the exporter in constructing the export prices (see recital 9). These objections are the same as those raised in Commission Decisions 88/327/EEC (6), 88/328/EEC (7) and 88/329/EEC (8) concerning refunds to other related importers of Minebea of anti-dumping duties paid during the years 1985 and 1986 which were the subject of an appeal before the Court of Justice of the European Communities. The applicant referred expressly to the submissions made by the other importers in this earlier refund proceeding and in their written submissions before the Court.
In its judgment of 10 March 1992 on this appeal, the Court dismissed the application (9).
Under these circumstances, the applicant's request for the refund of an additional amount has to be rejected,
The refund applications submitted by NMB France Sarl, Argenteuil, France, for the period October 1990 to September 1991 are granted in respect of the amount of [ . . . ] and rejected for the remainder.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by France.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic and NMB France Sarl, Argenteuil, France. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2285/88 of 19 July 1988 fixing an intervention threshold for the 1988/89 marketing year for lemons in Spain (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1521/89 (2) and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3139/88 (3) set the intervention threshold for the 1988/89 marketing year for lemons in Spain at 69 590 tonnes;
Wheras Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2285/88 provides that if the quantities of lemons offered for intervention in Spain over a period of 12 consecutive months exceeds the threshold fixed for the 1988/89 marketing year institutional prices applicable in Spain for the 1989/90 marketing year are to be reduced by 1 % for every 4 300 tonnes by which the threshold is exceeded;
Whereas the institutional prices for lemons for the 1989/90 marketing year enter into force on 1 June 1989; whereas it is consequently necessary to refer to the period of 12 consecutive months from 1 March 1988 to 28 February 1989; whereas Spain has indicated that 97 911 tonnes of lemons were brought in by intervention during that period; whereas an overrun of 28 321 tonnes of the intervention threshold set for the 1988/89 marketing year has been recorded by the Commission;
Whereas the institutional prices applicable in Spain for the 1989/90 marketing year must consequently be reduced by 6 %;
Whereas institutional prices for lemons applicable in Spain for the period 1 January to 31 May 1990 will be set at a later date by the Council, as provided for in Article 148 (1) of the Act of Accession; whereas this Regulation accordingly covers only institutional prices applicable from 1 June to 31 December 1989;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
An overrun of the intervention threshold fixed for the 1988/89 marketing year for lemons in Spain is hereby recorded based on intervention carried out during the period 1 March 1988 to 28 February 1989.
The institutional prices applicable in Spain for lemons as provided for in Article 135 of the Act of Accession shall for the period 1 June to 31 December 1989 be reduced by 6 %.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. Previous procedure
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 738/92 (2), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of cotton yarn falling with CN codes 5205 11 00 to 5205 45 90 and 5206 11 00 to 5206 45 90 originating, inter alia, in Turkey. Sampling was applied to Turkish exporters, and individual duties ranging from 4,9 % to 12,1 % were imposed on the companies in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample received a weighted average duty of 9 %. A duty of 12,1 % was imposed on companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate in the investigation.
B. Amendment
(2) Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, a new exporter's review to determine individual dumping margins could not be initiated in this proceeding, as sampling was used in the original investigation. However, in order to ensure equal treatment between any new exporters and the cooperating companies not included in the sample during the original investigation, it is considered that provision should be made for the weighted average duty imposed on the latter companies to be applied to any new exporters which would otherwise be entitled to a review pursuant to Article 11 (4),
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 738/92:
'6. Where any party provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that it did not export the goods described in Article 1 (1) during the investigation period, that it is not related to any exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation and that it has exported the goods concerned after the investigation period, or that it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community, then the Council, acting by simple majority on a proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, may amend Article 1 (2) by adding that party to Article 1 (2).`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 28 October 2011
amending Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU on emergency measures applicable to fenugreek seeds and certain seeds and beans imported from Egypt
(notified under document C(2011) 7744)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/718/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(i) and (iii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 lays down the general principles governing food and feed in general, and food and feed safety in particular, at Union and national level. It provides for emergency measures where it is evident that food or feed imported from a third country is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment, and that such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) lays down general rules on the hygiene of food stuffs. Those rules include hygiene requirements for the production of seeds and beans for direct human consumption to be followed by food business operators.
(3) Certain lots of fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt have been identified to be the causative agent of an outbreak in the Union of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli bacteria (STEC), serotype O104:H4. Accordingly, Commission Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU (3) introduced a ban on the release for free circulation in the Union of seeds and beans from Egypt that fall within the CN codes listed in the Annex thereto. The ban expires on 31 October 2011.
(4) From 21 to 25 August 2011 the Commission’s Food and Veterinary Office conducted an audit in Egypt in order to trace back the possible source of infection of the recent E. coli outbreaks (O104:H4 serotype) in the northern part of Germany and Bordeaux, France, and to evaluate the production and processing conditions of the suspect seeds in that third country.
(5) The findings of the audit and the actions being taken by Egypt concerning the shortcomings in the production of seeds for human consumption that may potentially be sprouted have been evaluated. That evaluation shows that the measures introduced by the Egyptian authorities are not sufficient to tackle the identified risks.
(6) According to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, the hygiene of imported food should comply, among others, with the requirements laid down in Annex I of that Regulation. However, the actions indicated by the Egyptian authorities do not provide sufficient guarantees on an active commitment to carry out production in line with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) will adopt by the end of October 2011, a scientific opinion on the risk posed by Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and other pathogenic bacteria in seeds and sprouts, shoots and cress derived from seeds.
(7) Pending the possible introduction of additional control measures based on the EFSA opinion and in order to allow the time necessary for the competent authorities in Egypt to provide further feedback to the Commission and to provide effective guarantees on additional risk management measures, the temporary ban on the release for free circulation in the Union of seeds and beans from Egypt laid down in Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU should be prolonged until 31 March 2012.
(8) In order to ensure the effectiveness of this decision to avoid import of any goods listed in the Annex, this Decision shall apply as from 1 November 2011 because Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU provided that the release of seeds from Egypt as set out in the Annex was prohibited until 31 October 2011.
(9) Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Implementing Decision No 2011/402/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(2) the Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 November 2011.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 14(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 64/432/EEC, bovine animals for breeding and production intended for trade must undergo individual testing for tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic leucosis respectively, unless they originate or come from a Member State or region thereof recognised officially free of the respective disease or an approved system of surveillance networks is implemented in the territory of that Member State.
(2) France is recognised officially free of bovine tuberculosis and enzootic bovine leucosis in accordance with Commission Decision 2003/467/EC(2) and 97,33 % of bovine herds were officially free from bovine brucellosis at 31 December 2002.
(3) Commission Decision 2002/907/EC(3) temporarily recognises the surveillance network system for bovine holdings introduced in France under Directive 64/432/EEC. That Decision requires that the provisional approval of the surveillance network system is to be reviewed before 30 April 2004.
(4) An audit by Commission experts and the appropriate documentation supplied by the French competent authorities demonstrate the progress made to ensure the fully operational character of the system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in France.
(5) The system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in France should therefore be approved.
(6) Commission Decision 2002/544/EC(4) recognises the system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in Belgium in accordance with Directive 64/432/EEC.
(7) It is appropriate to list in a single decision the Member States or regions of Member States where a system of surveillance networks for bovine holdings is implemented and approved in accordance with Directive 64/432/EEC.
(8) Decisions 2002/544/EC and 2002/907/EC should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(9) 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 systems of surveillance networks for bovine holdings implemented in accordance with Article 14 of Directive 64/432/EEC in the Member States or regions of Member States listed in the Annex to this Decision are approved.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 4 August 2004
accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Australia
(2004/600/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Communities (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 8 and 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1) On 19 February 2004, the Commission imposed, by Regulation (EC) No 306/2004 (2), a provisional anti-dumping duty on the imports into the Community of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (hereinafter referred to as PET or product concerned) originating in Australia, the People’s Republic of China and Pakistan (the provisional Regulation).
(2) Following the adoption of the provisional anti-dumping measures, the Commission continued the investigation of dumping, injury and Community interest. The definitive findings and conclusions of the investigation are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/2004 (3) imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of PET originating in Australia, the People’s Republic of China and Pakistan (the definitive Regulation).
(3) The investigation confirmed the provisional findings of injurious dumping relating to imports of the product concerned originating in Australia, the People’s Republic of China and Pakistan.
2. UNDERTAKING
(4) Subsequent to the adoption of provisional anti-dumping measures, one cooperating exporting producer in Australia (Leading Synthetics Pty Ltd) offered a price undertaking in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. In this undertaking, the exporting producer in question has offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels that eliminate the injurious effect of dumping.
(5) The company will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning its exports to the Community, meaning that the undertaking can be monitored effectively by the Commission. Furthermore, the sales structure of the company is such that the Commission considers that the risk of circumvention of the undertaking is limited.
(6) In view of this, it is considered that the undertaking is acceptable.
(7) In order to enable the Commission to monitor effectively the company’s compliance with the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty will be conditional on presentation of a commercial invoice containing at least the items of information listed in Annex 2 to Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/2004. This level of information is also necessary to enable customs authorities to ascertain with sufficient precision that the shipment corresponds to the commercial documents. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate amount of anti-dumping duty will instead be payable.
(8) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking, or a suspected breach, an anti-dumping duty may be imposed pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of the basic Regulation,
The undertaking offered by the exporting producer mentioned below, in connection with the present anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain poly(ethylene terephthalate) originating in Australia, the People’s Republic of China and Pakistan is hereby accepted.

The intervention agency, the storer and a successful tenderer shall, at the request of the latter and by common agreement, either before or at the time of removal from storage as the tenderer chooses, take reference samples for counter-analysis at the rate of at least one sample for every 500 tonnes and shall analyse the samples. The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer’s request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences having regard to those criteria do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 75 kg/hl,
— one percentage point as regards moisture content,
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities specified in points B.2 and B.4 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (6),
— and half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to in point B.5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, the admissible percentages for noxious grains and ergot remaining unchanged, however.
2. If the final result of the analyses carried out on the samples indicates a quality higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender and the difference exceeds the limits set out in paragraph 1(b), the successful tenderer may:
(a) accept the lot as established; or
(b) refuse to take over the lot concerned.
In the case of (b) above, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
3. Where the final result of sample analyses indicates a quality below the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention, the successful tenderer may not remove the lot in question. The successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
Should the cases mentioned in Article 7(2)(b) and 7(3) arise, the successful tenderer may ask the intervention agency to supply an alternative lot of common wheat of the requisite quality, at no extra cost. In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer’s request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, following successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.
1. If the common wheat is removed before the results of the analyses provided for in Article 6 are known, all risks shall be borne by the successful tenderer from the time the lot is removed, without prejudice to any means of redress the tenderer might have against the storer.
2. The costs of taking the samples and conducting the analyses provided for in Article 6, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7(3), shall be borne by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for up to one analysis per 500 tonnes, with the exception of the cost of inter-bin transfers. The costs of inter-bin transfers and any additional analyses requested by a successful tenderer shall be borne by that tenderer.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 14 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the South East England region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in the South East England region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- business development and innovation,
- spatial development,
- heritage, culture and the environment,
- community economic development,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 100046 million for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 35700 million.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 46436 million from the public sector and EUR 17910 million from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 35700 million. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its co-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in transitional areas shall be 31 December 2007 and in fully eligible areas 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(1), as last amended by Directive 2002/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Since 28 February 2003 the Netherlands have declared several outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
(2) The infection with avian influenza subtype H7N7 has affected several poultry flocks in an area called "Gelderse Vallei".
(3) Avian influenza is a highly contagious poultry disease that can pose a serious threat for the poultry industry.
(4) In view of the high mortality and the rapid spread of the infection the Netherlands took immediate action as provided for by Council Directive 92/40/EEC(3) of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza, as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, before the disease was officially confirmed.
(5) Council Directive 92/40/EEC sets out the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza. The Member State may take more stringent action in the field covered by this Directive if deemed necessary and proportionate to contain the disease, taking into account the particular epidemiological, animal husbandry, commercial and social conditions prevailing.
(6) Furthermore all movements of live poultry and hatching eggs within the Netherlands and their dispatch to other Member States was prohibited.
(7) The same prohibitions should apply to exports to third countries in order to protect their health status and to prevent the risk of re-entry of such consignments in another Member State.
(8) For the sake of clarity and transparency the Commission has taken Decision 2003/153/EC(4) of 3 March 2003 concerning protection measures in relation to strong suspicion of avian influenza in the Netherlands, as amended by Decision 2003/156/EC(5), after consultation with the Dutch authorities, thereby reinforcing the measures taken by the Netherlands and granting certain specific derogations for movements of slaughter poultry and day-old chicks within the Netherlands.
(9) By Commission Decisions 2003/156/EC, 2003/172/EC(6) and 2003/186/EC(7) the measures provided for in Decision 2003/153/EC were prolonged in view of the evolution of the disease.
(10) The currently available epidemiological information and the first results of the surveillance programme, carried out nationwide in the Netherlands, suggest that the probability of the circulation of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus outside the "Gelderse Vallei" is low.
(11) In the light of the evolution of the disease, it is appropriate to further prolong the measures adopted under Decision 2003/172/EC. However, a derogation should also be provided for as regards the movement of hatching eggs within the Netherlands from areas outside the surveillance zones.
(12) Furthermore, the Netherlands has confirmed that the movement of spent laying hens for immediate slaughter and pullets in the Netherlands may be authorised from areas outside the surveillance zones.
(13) The other Member States have already adjusted the measures they apply to trade, and they are sufficiently informed by the Commission, and in particular in the context of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on the appropriate period for their implementation.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Without prejudice to the measures taken by the Netherlands within the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC within the surveillance zones, the Dutch veterinary authorities shall ensure that:
(a) no live poultry and hatching eggs are dispatched from the Netherlands to other Member States and to third countries;
(b) no live poultry and hatching eggs are transported within the Netherlands.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1(b), the competent veterinary authority, taking all appropriate bio-security measures to avoid the spread of avian influenza, may authorise the transport from areas outside the surveillance zones of:
(a) poultry for immediate slaughter, including spent laying hens, to a slaughterhouse, that has been designated by the competent veterinary authority;
(b) day-old chickens and pullets to a holding under official control;
(c) hatching eggs to a hatchery under official control.
This Decision shall apply from 21 March 2003 until 24.00 (midnight) on 27 March 2003.
This Decision is addressed to the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 64/2005 (3).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 64/2005,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 54/93 of 8 January 1993 imposing a definitive duty on imports of synthetic fibres of polyesters originating in India and the Republic of Korea
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures (1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of synthetic fibres of polyesters (hereafter referred to as PSF) originating in India and the Republic of Korea (hereafter Korea) and falling within CN code 5503 20 00. The duty was extended for a maximum period of two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3264/92 (3).
B. Subsequent procedure (2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, most of the exporting producers mentioned by name in Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, as well as the complainant, requested and were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. They also made written submissions making their views known on the provisional findings.
(3) The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed to be necessary for its determinations. Upon request, the parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of a provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to these discolusures. Their oral and written comments were considered and, where appropriate, the Commission's findings were modified to take account of them.
(4) Owing to the complexity of the proceeding, and the numerous arguments put forward, the investigation could not be concluded within the time limit provided for in Article 7 (9) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
C. Product under consideration, like product, Community industry (5) In its provisional findings, as set out in recitals 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, the Commission concluded that although there were several types of PSF having various features in order to meet specific needs, their basic physical characteristics, application and use were the same. The argument was however raised by a group of importers that PSF used for filling have characteristics different from the others.
(6) The Commission recalls that all types of PSF show in general the same physical characteristics and can only be differentiated at the downstream stage of processing. In addition, PSF destined for filling cannot be distinguished from the others since they all derive from the same chemical reaction. For these reasons the similarities of both types of PSF outweigh by far their differences. Besides, the establishment of such distinction between those types of PSF would in fact pave the way for circumvention of anti-dumping measures. The Council confirms the above conclusion as well as the findings of the Commission regarding the like product and the Community industry set out in recitals 9 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, since there was no comment by the interested parties in this respect.
D. Dumping 1. Normal value
(7) For the purpose of definitive findings, normal value was in general established on the basis of the same methods as those used in the provisional determination of dumping, after taking into consideration new facts and arguments presented by the parties.
(8) One Korean exporting producer reacted to the findings of the Commission and maintained that normal value of substandard products sold on the domestic market should be established by reference to the domestic price of these products. However, since this exporting producer was not able to provide the costs of production for these types, the Commission was not in a position to verify whether these sales were profitable. For this reason, the normal value of these allegedly substandard products was established on the basis of the costs of manufacture and selling, general and administrative expenses of other standard types of PSF sold on the domestic market by this producer, plus a profit rate based on the average profit achieved on its remaining domestic PSF sales. The Council confirms the conclusion of the Commission, as well as its findings set out in recital 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92.
2. Export price
(9) The Council confirms the findings and conclusions of the Commission in this respect, on the content of which there was no substantial comment by the interested parties.
3. Comparison
(10) As far as adjustments for differences in physical characteristics are concerned, two Indian exporting producers submitted additional evidence to substantiate further their claims of alleged differences between the products sold for export and sold domestically. Having considered this evidence, the Commission concluded that these claims were valid and adjusted the normal value established for the exporting producers concerned by an allowance based on the effect of these differences on the prices of the product in India.
(11) As far as import charges and indirect taxes are concerned, the Indian exporting producers concerned maintained their claims that normal value should be reduced by an allowance corresponding to import charges borne on materials physically incorporated in the like product when destined for domestic consumption and refunded when exported to the Community. In this respect, they submitted additional evidence on the exact nature and amount of import charges borne on these materials. Insofar as this additional evidence satisfactorily showed the existence and proportion of such duty refund, the Commission adjusted normal value up to the proportion of the claim which was substantiated.
(12) The Council confirms the above findings and conclusions as well as those set out in recitals 15 to 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92.
4. Dumping Margins
(13) On comparing normal values for domestically sold models of the exporting producers which were investigated with the export prices of comparable types on a transaction-by-transaction basis, the final examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of PSF originating in India and Korea on the part of most of the exporting producers concerned, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the export price to the Community.
(14) The weighted average dumping margins, expressed as a percentage of cif Community-frontier prices, varied according to the exporting producers as follows:
- Indian exporting producers:
- Indian Organic Chemicals 2 %
- Reliance Industries 2,1 %
- ICI India 6 %
- India Polyfibres 6,9 %
- Swadeshi Polytex 7,2 %
- Korean exporting producers:
- Sunkyong 1,6 %
- Samyang 4,8 %.
(15) As far as the Korean producer Cheil and the Indian producer JCT were concerned, no dumping was found.
(16) The Commission found a high degree of cooperation to the anti-dumping proceeding on the part of the exporting producers in the countries concerned. Therefore, for those exporting producers who did not make themselves known in the course of the investigation, or did not fully cooperate with the Commission, a dumping margin was determined on the basis of the facts available as explained in recital 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, and it was considered appropriate to use the highest dumping margin of 7,2 % for India and 4,8 % for Korea for these groups of exporting producers. The Council confirms the above findings and conclusions.
E. Injury 1. Cumulation
(17) The Council confirms that the effects of Indian and Korean imports had to be analysed cumulatively since they were like products sold simultaneously in the same markets and were not negligible as such. In addition, the Council notes that imports of PSF originating in several other countries were present on the Community market: in this respect, it has to be pointed out that a review of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3946/88 (4) on imports of PSF originating in Mexico, Romania, Turkey, Taiwan, the United States of America and Yugoslavia has been carried out concurrently by the Commission.
2. Determination of injury
(18) The Commission concluded in its provisional findings, as set out in recitals 23 to 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, that the Community industry had suffered material injury and based this finding on the following facts:
- the dumped imports from India and Korea increased at a very rapid rate between 1988 and 1990, attaining a 6,2 % market share in the investigation period, while their presence on the Community market was almost negligible in 1987,
- when assessing the penetration of the dumped imports, the fact was also taken into account that dumped imports originating in other countries and representing a market share of 7,4 % were simultaneously present on the Community market,
- the prices of these dumped imports constantly and substantially undercut the prices of the Community industry by margins ranging from 10 to 29 %,
- the Community industry suffered a significant erosion of its sales in 1990 below the level of 1988, and incurred losses in spite of rationalization measures involving cuts in the workforce and plant closures.
No new facts concerning these findings were submitted to the Commission after the imposition of the provisional measures in Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92.
(19) The above conclusion leads the Council to consider that the Community industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
3. Causation of injury
(20) In its provisional findings, the Commission concluded that, although the overall situation of the Community industry improved consequent upon the imposition in December 1988 of anti-dumping measures on imports of PSF originating in six countries (see recital 17), this improvement was quickly followed by a renewed deterioration in performance, which coincided with the arrival and rapid penetration of the imports from India and Korea. The Commission determined that this rapid penetration, achieved through constant price undercutting and obtained at the expense of the imports subject to anti-dumping measures, impeded the recovery of the situation of the Community industry and thus, the dumped imports, taken in isolation, caused the material injury.
(21) The Commission examined whether the material injury might have been caused by factors other than the dumped imports, and in particular the behaviour of the Community industry itself. However this examination did not show any fact suggesting that the Community industry might be somewhat responsible for the material injury found. In addition, several Indian exporting producers raised again the point that injury could result from the effect of other factors since their market share alone was too small to have any effect on the Community industry. The Council cannot accept this argument since, in accordance with standard practice, the effect of the dumped imports has to be assessed cumulatively. In this case, the market share of the dumped imports, to which dumped imports from India contributed substantially, represents 6,2 %. The Council considers that this is sufficient to have a clear detrimental effect on the Community industry given the sensitivity of customers to price considerations in this sector and given the fact that a significant share of imports from other sources (7,4 % of the Community market) has been found to be sold at dumped prices.
(22) Therefore, the Council adopts the findings of the Commission and concludes that the dumped imports originating in Korea and India have caused material injury.
F. Community interest (23) In its provisional findings, the Commission considered and weighed up the interests of the Community industry, of the consumers and of other industries and activities concerned. It examined in particular the argument submitted by several importers that PSF used for filling should be excluded from the scope of the proceeding, alleging that the current Community production of these fibres was insufficient to meet the current demand. However, the Commission found that, contrary to this allegation, the Community industry is significantly involved in the production of all types of PSF and has the resources to meet any increase in demand. For this reason and those expressed in recitals 43 to 49 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92, it concluded that the interests of the Community call, on balance, for granting protection to the Community industry against unfair competition caused by dumped imports.
(24) The Council adopts the findings of the Commission in this respect and notes in particular that any price increase which may result from the imposition of anti-dumping measures will not negatively affect the competitive situation on the Community market, given the choice of suppliers available.
G. Duty (25) Provisional measures took the form of anti-dumping duties; these were imposed for the Korean exporting producers at the level of the dumping margins established since injury thresholds were much higher, and for the Indian exporting producers at the level of the injury threshold since their provisional dumping margins exceeded the latter.
(26) Since the Commission's findings on the establishment of the dumping margins for the Indian exporting producers set out in recitals 10, 11 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92 have now been confirmed by the Council, and since no further facts or arguments concerning the calculation of the duty set out in recitals 50 to 54 of that Regulation were submitted to the Commission by any of the interested parties, the Council concludes that duties should be imposed at the level of the dumping margins definitively determined. For the exporting producers who did not make themselves known in the course of the investigation, or did not cooperate fully with the Commission, it was therefore considered appropriate to impose a definitive duty at the level of the highest dumping margin of 7,2 % for India and 4,8 % for Korea for this group of exporting producers.
H. Collection of provisional duties (27) In view of the nature and the level of the injury caused to the Community industry by the dumped imports, the Council considers it necessary that amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duties should be definitively collected to the extent of the duty rate definitively imposed. The amounts secured in respect of JCT Fibres, India should be released,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning (synthetic fibres of polyesters) falling within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India and the Republic of Korea.
2. The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, not cleared through Customs, shall be as follows:
(a) 7,2 % for synthetic fibres of polyesters originating in India (Taric additional code 8645), with the exception of imports of the products specified in paragraph 1 which are produced by the following companies, where the rates of duty applicable shall be as set out below:
- Indian Organic Chemicals
2 % (Taric additional code: 8640),
