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

(2) The result of applying the rules and criteria laid down in the abovementioned Articles to the elements communicated to the Commission in accordance with Article 173(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is that unit values set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be established in regard to the products in question,

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 78/774/EEC of 19 September 1978 concerning the activities of certain third countries in the field of cargo shipping (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationalisation the said Decision should be codified.
(2) Information systems should be established to enable the Community institutions to be kept informed of the activities of the fleets of third countries whose practices are harmful to the shipping interests of the Member States and in particular in so far as those activities adversely affect the competitive participation of the fleets of Member States in international maritime trade. Those information systems must facilitate consultation at Community level.
(3) The possibility should be provided for the necessary measures to be adopted at Community level for the joint exercise by Member States of their powers to adopt counter-measures in respect of the cargo shipping activities of certain third countries,
Each Member State shall take all the necessary measures to institute a system allowing it to collect information on the activities of the fleets of third countries whose practices are harmful to the shipping interests of the Member States and in particular in so far as those activities adversely affect the competitive participation of the fleets of Member States in international maritime trade.
That system must enable each Member State, to the extent necessary to attain the objectives referred to in the first paragraph, to collect information on:
(a) the level of cargo shipping services offered;
(b) the nature, volume, value, origin and destination of goods loaded or unloaded in the Member States concerned by the ships engaged in these services;
(c) the level of tariffs charged for such services.
1. The Council, acting by qualified majority, shall decide to which third countries' fleets the information system is to be jointly applied.
2. The decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall specify the type of cargo shipping to which the information system is to apply, the date of its introduction, the intervals at which the information is to be provided and which of the types of information listed in the second paragraph of Article 1 are to be collected.
3. Each Member State shall forward to the Commission, periodically or at the request of the latter, the information produced by its information system.
4. The Commission shall collate the information for the Community as a whole.

Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 lays down that, where the variable premium is paid, the Commission must adopt the necessary measures to ensure that an amount equivalent to that premium is charged in respect of the products referred to in Article 1 (a) and (c) of that Regulation when such products leave region 5; whereas the said amount has to be charged even in respect of exported products which do not benefit directly from the variable premium; whereas, however, coefficients should be laid down for such products which take account, at a varying rate, of the benefit indirectly derived from the granting for such products of the variable premium for lambs;
Whereas, in compliance with that principle, Article 4 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1633/84 of 8 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for applying the variable slaughter premium for sheep (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3451/85 (4), fixes such a coefficient for ewes and meat obtained therefrom; whereas that principle should accordingly also be applied to other animals which do not qualify for the premium and consequently the appropriate coefficients should be fixed for such animals and meat obtained therefrom;
Whereas the introduction of differentiated coefficients requires a technical modification of certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1633/84;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 1633/84 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (2a) is deleted.
2. Article 4 (4) is replaced by the following:
'4. For carcases of animals other than those which may qualify for the premium, the amounts referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be determined using the following coefficients:
- lambs attaining a carcase weight less than
or equal to 14 kg: 0,10;
- animals referred to in Article 1 (2) (a): 0,5;
- animals referred to in Article 1 (2) (b): 0,5;
- other animals: 0,5.
These coefficients shall be applied without prejudice to the coefficients referred to in paragraph 3.
5. The Commission shall review these coefficients referred to in Article 4, first indent, forthwith if there is any disturbance in intra-Community trade.
Furthermore, the Commission shall review these coefficients every six months in the light of the development of trade between region 5 and the other regions of the Community and the trend in prices. It shall take any decision to adjust these coefficients in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80.'
3. The second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (3) is replaced by the following:
'- shall introduce an administrative procedure entailing systematic inspection from the carcase stage on, involving in particular the individual marking of carcases and, where appropriate, of the cuts therefore, so as to prevent the amounts referred to in Article 4 (4) from being charged in respect of products obtained from animals having qualified for the premium, mixtures of products obtained from animals which have and animals which have not qualified for the premium or any other product subject to a higher amount.'.

(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of common sole in the waters of ICES zone Skagerrak and Kattegat, III b, c and d (EC waters) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden have exhausted the quota allocated for 2004.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 December 2007.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustment and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas the Community has guaranteed Thailand access to the Community market for 21 000 000 tonnes of the products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 for a period of four years and for an annual maximum of 5 500 000 tonnes; whereas to this end Commission Regulation (EC) No 1567/95 (4) opens a tariff quota for the second half of 1995;

of 26 March 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 69(2), Article 80(1) and Article 85, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 (2) provides for the way the fat content of milk is taken into account when drawing up the definitive statement of deliveries.
(2) The adjustment coefficients applied to milk deliveries where the fat content is greater or lower than the reference level have remained the same since 1989. In view of many changes in the nature of the support regime for the milk sector since then, it is appropriate to reduce the degree of adjustment applied to milk delivered with fat content greater than reference fat content. The coefficient to be applied when the real fat content of deliveries is less than the reference fat should remain unchanged.
(3) In view of those differential adjustment rates, it is also appropriate to modify the information provided by Member States to the Commission in the annual questionnaire so that it shows details on both the upward and downward adjustments.
(4) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 requires that each year the Commission has to divide the national quota for each Member State between deliveries and direct sales, based on communications from the Member States. Those communications concern the requests for conversions made by producers. Additional quota allocated to Member States is allocated to the national reserve in the first instance and then divided by Member States between deliveries and direct sales according to foreseeable needs. However, there is no formal provision whereby the Commission is informed of this division. Therefore, it is appropriate to require the Commission to take this division into account in the annual adaptation and to provide Member States with the mechanism to inform the Commission of the division of such quota.
(5) In a number of Member States, deliveries have been substantially lower than the deliveries part of the national quota for a number of years. The possibility of the quota being exceeded will be further reduced as national quotas are increased. Experience shows that as the risk of incurring a levy is reduced, the risk that operators would understate or conceal the quantity of deliveries would also fall. It is therefore appropriate to reduce accordingly the intensity of controls to take place in such Member States in order to optimise the use of control resources.
(6) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004, Member States are required to complete all control reports relating to a 12-month period within 18 months of the end of the period concerned. Where Member States avail themselves of the option now provided to implement a reduced rate of control intensity in certain circumstances, it is appropriate to reduce the maximum time allowed for the completion of all reports.
(7) In order to allow the Member States to benefit from a less burdensome situation resulting from the adjusted intensity of control, and taking into account that according to Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 controls are carried out partly during the 12-month period in question, partly after the 12-month period, it is appropriate to apply the adjusted intensity of controls as from the 12-month period 2008/2009, i.e. the period starting on 1 April 2008 and finishing on 31 March 2009.
(8) In order to support the Commission’s supervision of the implementation of the quota system and in particular in the context of the reports to be provided by the Commission to the Council before the end of 2010 and 2012, it is appropriate to provide for more detailed information on the extent of quota utilisation, the distribution of the unused quota to producers, and where relevant, on the collection of levy due from producers.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2, first paragraph, ‘Article 21’ is replaced by ‘Article 25’;
2. Article 10 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(i) the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(ii) the fifth subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

4. in Article 22(1), points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:
‘(a) 2 % of producers for each 12-month period, or
(aa) 1 % of producers in Member States where the total adjusted deliveries have been less than 95 % of the deliveries part of the national quota in each of the three preceding 12-month periods; and
(b) 40 % of the quantity of milk declared after adjustment for the period concerned, or
(ba) 20 % of the quantity of milk declared after adjustment in Member States where the total adjusted deliveries have been less than 95 % of the deliveries part of the national quota in each of the three preceding 12-month periods; and’;
5. in Article 25, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(a) the quantities which have been definitively converted between individual quotas for deliveries and direct sales at the request of individual producers;
(b) the division between deliveries and direct sales of the quota placed in the national reserve in accordance with Article 71(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 with effect from 1 April of the 12-month period in question.’;
6. in Article 27, the following paragraph 4 is added:
7. in Annex I, point 1.8 is replaced by the following:
‘1.8 Adjustment of deliveries due to fat content:
(a) quantity of deliveries subject to upward adjustment (kilograms);

Whereas, under Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, the minimum price which processors must pay to the producer is derived from the purchase price for class III plus 15 % of the basic price; whereas, to simplify matters, this calculation should be based on the average basic and purchase prices fixed for the 1984/85 marketing year by Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/84 (3);
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, financial compensation cannot exceed the difference between the minimum purchase price referred to in Article 1 of the said Regulation and the prices obtaining for the basic products in producer third countries; whereas, for the purposes of calculating this compensation and with a view to encouraging optimum marketing of lemon products, it would seem advisable to apply the full difference between these prices;
Whereas, because of the late publication of the amounts of the minimum price and financial compensation, the interested parties have been unable to conclude contracts for the first part of the 1984/85 marketing year by the specified time; whereas derogations should therefore be made from the dates specified in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3482/80 (5);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The minimum price referred to in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 shall be 17,74 ECU per 100 kilograms net for the 1984/85 marketing year.
2. The said minimum price shall be in respect of products ex-producer's packaging station.
The amount of the financial compensation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 shall be 10,82 ECU per 100 kilograms net for the 1984/85 marketing year.
1. By way of derogation from Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77, contracts for the first part of the 1984/85 marketing year may be concluded until 30 June 1984.
2. By way of derogation from Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77, supplementary agreements to the contracts referred to in paragraph 1 may be concluded until 30 September 1984.

Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the terms ‘institution’, ‘reserve requirement’, ‘maintenance period’, ‘reserve base’, and ‘participating Member State’ have the same meaning as in Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in Slovenia
1. In derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), a transitional maintenance period shall run from 1 to 16 January 2007 for institutions located in Slovenia.
2. The reserve base of each institution located in Slovenia for the transitional maintenance period shall be defined in relation to elements of its balance sheet as at 31 October 2006. Institutions located in Slovenia shall report their reserve base to Banka Slovenije in accordance with the ECB’s reporting framework for money and banking statistics, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13). Institutions located in Slovenia that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) shall calculate a reserve base for the transitional maintenance period on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2006.
3. In respect of the transitional maintenance period, either an institution located in Slovenia or Banka Slovenije shall calculate such institution’s minimum reserves. The party that calculates the minimum reserves shall submit its calculation to the other party allowing sufficient time for the latter to verify it and submit revisions, at the latest by 11 December 2006. The calculated minimum reserves, including any revisions thereof, if applicable, shall be confirmed by the two parties at the latest on 12 December 2006. If the notified party does not confirm the amount of minimum reserves by 12 December 2006, it shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the calculated amount applies for the transitional maintenance period.
Transitional provisions for institutions located in other participating Member States
1. The maintenance period applicable to institutions located in other participating Member States pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) shall remain unaffected by the existence of a transitional maintenance period for institutions located in Slovenia.
2. Institutions located in other participating Member States may decide to deduct from their reserve base for the maintenance periods from 13 December 2006 to 16 January 2007 and from 17 January to 13 February 2007 any liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovenia, even though at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements mentioned in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
3. Institutions located in other participating Member States that wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovenia shall, for the maintenance periods from 13 December 2006 to 16 January 2007 and from 17 January to 13 February 2007, calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet as at 31 October 2006 and 30 November 2006 respectively and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Slovenia as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13), still showing institutions located in Slovenia as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13).
4. For the maintenance periods starting in December 2006, January and February 2007, institutions located in other participating Member States that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) and wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovenia, shall calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2006 and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Slovenia as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13), still showing institutions located in Slovenia as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13).
Entry into force and application

Whereas the ISIC (International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Statistical Office of the United-Nations, Series M, No 4 Rev. 1, New York, 1958) excludes the transportation of natural gas as an independent service from activities relating to energy supply (Major Group 51), by classifying this activity under "Transport not elsewhere classifed" (Group 719) ; whereas however the transportation of natural gas as an independent service is, like that of gas of any other kind, closely connected with the activities falling within ISIC Group 512, which this Directive is intended to cover ; whereas such transportation should therefore be included in this Directive, the stage at which it is to be liberalised remaining as laid down in the timetable in the General Programme;
Whereas, as regards transmission of electricity and transportation by pipeline of gas and of water, this Directive is to apply only to freedom of establishment;
Whereas separate Directives, 1 applicable to all activities of self-employed persons, concerning provisions relating to the movement and residence of beneficiaries, and where necessary Directives on the co-ordination of the safeguards required by Member States of companies or firms for the protection of the interests of members and of others, have been or will be adopted;
Whereas, for the purposes of applying measures concerning right of establishment and freedom to provide services, companies or firms are to be treated in the same way as natural persons who are nationals of Member States, subject only to the conditions laid down in Article 58 and, where necessary, to the condition that there should exist a real and continuous link with the economy of a Member State ; whereas therefore no company or firm may be required, in order to obtain the benefit of such measures, to fulfil any additional condition, and in particular no company or firm may be required to obtain any authorisation not required of a domestic company or firm wishing to pursue a particular economic activity ; whereas, however, such uniformity of treatment should not prevent Member States from requiring that a company having a share capital should operate in their countries under the description by which it is known in the law of the Member State under which it is constituted, and that it should indicate the amount of its subscribed capital on the business papers which it uses in the host Member State;
Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment provides that restrictions on the right to join professional or trade organisations must be abolished where the professional activities of the person concerned necessarily involve the exercise of this right;
Whereas the position of paid employees accompanying a person providing services or acting on his behalf will be governed by the provisions laid down in pursuance of Articles 48 and 49 of the Treaty;
Whereas the abolition of the restrictions in question need not be preceded or accompanied either by measures for the co-ordination of the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in this field of activity, or by measures concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications;
Member States shall abolish, in respect of the natural persons and companies or firms covered by Title I of the General Programmes for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services (hereinafter called "beneficiaries"), the restrictions referred to in Title III of those General Programmes affecting the right to take up and pursue the activities specified in Article 2 of this Directive. As regards the transmission of electricity and transportation by pipeline of gas, steam and water, this Directive applies only to the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment.
1. The provisions of this Directive shall apply to activities of self-employed persons being activities falling within Major Groups 51-52 in Annex I to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment or within Group ex 719 in Annex III to that same General Programme, namely the production, distribution and transmission or transportation of electricity, gas, water and steam and the provision of sanitary services.
2. These activities comprise: (a) the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity;
(b) the manufacture of gas in gasworks and the distribution to consumers of gas of all types, including the transportation by pipeline of gas of all types carried out as an independent service;
(c) the production and distribution of steam for heating and power purposes;
(d) water services, i.e. catchment, purification and distribution of water to consumers;
(e) waste and sewage disposal (sanitary services).
1 OJ No 56, 4.4.1964, p. 845/64.
In accordance with the General Programmes, this Directive shall not apply to: (a) the exploitation of sources of natural gas (including prospecting and drilling);
(b) construction work carried out by private enterprise or by public authorities, in particular the construction of plant for the production of electricity or gas ; construction work for water catchment, irrigation and regulation of watercourses ; the installation of sanitary services and the laying of lines for the transmission of electricity and of mains and pipelines for gas, water, etc.
1. Member States shall in particular abolish the following restrictions: (a) those which prevent beneficiaries from establishing themselves or providing services in the host country under the same conditions and with the same rights as nationals of that country;
(b) those existing by reason of administrative practices which result in treatment being applied to beneficiaries that is discriminatory by comparison with that applied to nationals;
(c) those which, as a result of rules or practices, prevent beneficiaries from being granted licences or authorisations, or subject beneficiaries to restrictions or to conditions imposed on them alone.
2. The restrictions to be abolished shall include in particular those arising out of measures which prevent or limit establishment or provision of services by beneficiaries by the following means: (a) in Belgium - the obligation to hold a carte professionnelle (Article 1 of the Law of 19 February 1965);
(b) in France - the obligation to hold a carte d'identité d'étranger commerçant (Décret-loi of 12 November 1938, Décret of 2 February 1939, Law of 8 October 1940);

persons holding licences or permits to utilise hydraulic power (Article 26 of the Law of 16 October 1919) or thermal energy (Décret of 30 July 1935) ; persons holding licences or permits to provide certain public services (Décret-loi of 12 November 1938) ; in the case of companies or firms, the chairman of the Board of Directors (Conseil d'administration), the executive directors (administrateurs délégués), the managers (gérants), the executives authorised to sign on behalf of the company (directeurs ayant la signature sociale), the auditors (commissaires aux comptes) and two-thirds of the members of a firm (associés en nom collectif), or of the members of the Board of Directors (administrateurs) or of the Board of Management (Conseil de direction) or of the Supervisory Board (Conseil de surveillance);
- the requirement that, subject to any exception authorised by Décret, any company or firm holding such licence or permit shall have been formed under French law (Article 26 of the Law of 16 October 1919);
(c) in Italy - the requirement that a person shall be of Italian nationality in order to be eligible for enrolment in the register of undertakings (Article 31 of Law No 366 of 20 March 1941, Raccolta, trasporto e smaltimento dei rifiuti solidi urbani);
(d) in Luxembourg - the limited period of validity of authorisations granted to foreign nationals pursuant to Article 21 of the Luxembourg Law of 2 June 1962 (Mémorial A No 31 of 19 June 1962).
1. Member States shall ensure that beneficiaries under this Directive have the right to join professional or trade organisations under the same conditions and with the same rights and obligations as their own nationals.
2. In the case of establishment, membership shall entail eligibility for election or appointment to high office in such organisations. However, such posts may be reserved for nationals where, in pursuance of any provision laid down by law or regulation, the organisation concerned is involved in the exercise of official authority.
3. In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, membership of the Chambre de Commerce or of the Chambre des Métiers shall not give beneficiaries under this Directive the right to take part in the election of the administrative organs of those Chambers.
No Member State shall grant to any of its nationals who go to another Member State for the purpose of pursuing any activity referred to in Article 2 any aid liable to distort the conditions of establishment.
1. Where a host Member State requires of its own nationals wishing to take up any activity referred to in Article 2 proof of good repute and proof that they have not previously been declared bankrupt, or proof of either one of these, that State shall accept as sufficient evidence, in respect of nationals of other Member States, the production of an extract from the "judicial record" or, failing this, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the country of origin or the country whence the foreign national comes showing that these requirements have been met.
2. Where the country of origin or the country whence the foreign national comes does not issue such documentary proof of no previous bankruptcy, such proof may be replaced by a declaration on oath made by the person concerned before a judicial or administrative authority, a notary, or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country whence that person comes.
3. Documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 or with paragraph 2 may not be produced more than three months after their date of issue.
4. Member States shall, within the time limit laid down in Article 8, designate the authorities and bodies competent to issue these documents and shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.
5. Where in the host Member State proof of financial standing is required, that State shall regard certificates issued by banks in the country of origin or in the country whence the foreign national comes as equivalent to certificates issued in its own territory.
Member States shall adopt the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the specific provisions relating to the active substances clofentezine, diflubenzuron, lenacil, oxadiazon, picloram and pyriproxyfen
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The active substances clofentezine, diflubenzuron, lenacil, oxadiazon, picloram and pyriproxyfen were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directive 2008/69/EC (2) in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 11b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 12a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 EFSA presented to the Commission the conclusions on the peer review for clofentezine (4) on 4 June 2009, for diflubenzuron (5) on 16 July 2009, for lenacil (6) on 25 September 2009, for oxadiazon (7) and picloram (8) on 26 November 2009 and for pyriproxyfen (9) on 21 July 2009. These conclusions were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 May 2010 in the format of the Commission review reports for clofentezine, diflubenzuron, lenacil, oxadiazon, picloram and pyriproxyfen.
(3) Taking into account the EFSA conclusions, it is confirmed that plant protection products containing clofentezine, diflubenzuron, lenacil, oxadiazon, picloram or pyriproxyfen may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report.
(4) For certain substances it is necessary to include specific provisions requiring Member States, when authorising those substances, to pay particular attention to certain points or to ensure that appropriate risk mitigation measures are taken.
(5) Without prejudice to the conclusions referred to in recital 3, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I to that Directive may be subject to conditions. It is appropriate as regards clofentezine, to require that the notifier carry out a monitoring programme to assess the potential of that substance for long-range atmospheric transport and related environmental risks. Moreover, the notifier shall also submit confirmatory studies in respect of toxicological and environmental risks of clofentezine metabolites.
(6) It is appropriate as regards diflubenzuron, to require that the notifier submit confirmatory data in respect of the potential toxicological relevance of the impurity and metabolite 4-chloroaniline (PCA).
(7) It is appropriate as regards lenacil, to require that the notifier submit further information on certain soil metabolites which occurred in lysimeter studies and confirmatory data on rotational crops, including possible phytotoxic effects. If a decision on the classification of lenacil under Council Directive 67/548/EEC (10) identifies the need for further information on the relevance of certain metabolites, the Member States concerned should request the submission of such information.
(8) It is appropriate as regards oxadiazon, to require that the notifier submit further information on the potential toxicological relevance of an impurity in the proposed technical specification and on the occurrence of a metabolite in primary crops and rotational crops. In addition, the notifier should be required to submit a metabolism study on ruminants and information on further trials on rotational crops and information on the risk to earthworm-eating birds and mammals and on the long-term risk to fish.
(9) It is appropriate as regards picloram, to require that the notifier submit confirmatory information in respect of the monitoring analytical method applied in residue trials and a soil photolysis study to confirm the evaluation of picloram degradation.
(10) It is appropriate as regards pyriproxifen, to require that the notifier submit information confirming the risk assessment in respect of two points, namely the risk posed to aquatic insects by pyriproxfen and the metabolite DPH-pyr and the risk posed by pyriproxfen to pollinators.
(11) Directive 91/414/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 December 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 January 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 13(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 192/98 (4), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 13(15) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1404/97 (6),
Whereas Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 932/97 (8), fixes the period of validity of export licences inter alia for products falling within CN codes 1702 30, 1702 40, 1702 90 and 2106 90; whereas licences are valid until the end of the fourth month following their issue; whereas the period of validity is fixed in accordance with market needs and the requirements of efficient management;
Whereas, given the special situation on the market for certain products processed from cereals at the end of the marketing year, rules should be laid down for the issue of licences between the old and the new marketing years so as not to commit large quantities during the period prior to the new potato and maize harvests; whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the market, it should be laid down that customs export formalities for certain export licences for certain products processed from cereals at the end of the marketing year must be completed by 30 June, either for direct export or for export under the arrangements laid down by Articles 4 and 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (9), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 (10); whereas that restriction derogates from Articles 27(5) and 28(5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2114/97 (12); whereas the period of validity of licences during the final days of a marketing year and the first months of a new marketing year should similarly be restricted by providing for a period of validity of 30 days from the date of issue;
Whereas Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 provides for the possibility of issuing licences for several products falling within the same product category provided that such a category has been established; whereas Article 4(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 provides for the issue of licences for two or more contiguous 12-digit subdivisions for certain products; whereas the Article 4 concerned should be clarified in the light of the horizontal provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (13), by defining the categories of products referred to in Article 13a for which an identical refund is paid;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 4(1) is replaced by the following:
'1. Notwithstanding Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, for products falling within CN codes 1101 00 15, 1102 20, 1103 11 10 and 1103 13, applications for export licences may indicate products falling within two contiguous 12-digit subdivisions of the abovementioned subheadings.
The following product categories within the meaning of Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall apply:

3. the following paragraph 1a is added to Article 7:
'1a. However, notwithstanding paragraph 1, the validity of export licences for products falling within CN codes 1702 30, 1702 40, 1702 90 and 2106 90 for which applications are submitted up until 25 June of each marketing year shall expire on 30 June. For applications submitted from 26 June of a marketing year until 30 September of the following marketing year, export licences for the abovementioned products shall be valid for 30 days from their date of issue within the meaning of Article 21(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88.
Customs export formalities for the abovementioned licences must be completed by 30 June of each marketing year for licences applied for up until 25 June. For such licences applied for between 26 June and 30 September of the following marketing year, customs export formalities must be completed no later than 30 days following their date of issue.
Those deadlines shall also apply to the formalities referred to in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 for products placed under the arrangements laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 under those licences.
In Section 22 of those licences shall be entered one of the following:

DIRECTIVE 2006/31/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 5 April 2006
amending directive 2004/39/EC on markets in financial instruments, as regards certain deadlines
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 47(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
After consulting the European Economic and Social Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of European Central Bank (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on markets in financial instruments (3) introduces a comprehensive regulatory regime to ensure a high quality of execution of investor transactions.
(2) Directive 2004/39/EC provides that Member States are to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with it by 30 April 2006. In order to ensure uniform application in the Member States, a significant number of complex provisions of that Directive need to be supplemented by implementing measures, to be adopted by the Commission during the period for transposition by Member States. Because Member States cannot fully prepare and finalise their national laws until the content of the implementing measures is clear, they may have difficulty in meeting the current transposition deadline.
(3) In order to comply with the requirements of Directive 2004/39/EC and national implementing legislation, investment firms and other regulated entities may have to introduce new information technology systems, new organisational structures, and reporting and record-keeping procedures, or to make significant modifications to existing systems and practices. This can only be done once the contents of the implementing measures to be adopted by the Commission and of the national legislation transposing the Directive are settled.
(4) It is also necessary that Directive 2004/39/EC and its implementing measures be transposed into national law or apply directly in Member States simultaneously for the Directive to produce its full effect.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to extend the deadline for Member States to transpose Directive 2004/39/EC into national law. Similarly, the deadline for investment firms and credit institutions to comply with the new requirements should be postponed for a period after the transposition into national law has been completed by the Member States.
(6) Given the interaction between the different provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC, it is appropriate that any extension of those deadlines apply to all the provisions of that Directive. Any extension of the transposition and application deadlines should be proportionate to, and not exceed, the needs of the Member States and regulated entities. In order to avoid fragmentation that could hamper the functioning of the internal market in securities, Member States should apply the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC at the same time.
(7) In its Resolution of 5 February 2002 on the implementation of financial services legislation (4), the European Parliament requested that it and the Council should have an equal role in supervising the way in which the Commission exercises its executive role in order to reflect the legislative powers of the European Parliament under Article 251 of the Treaty. In the solemn declaration made before the European Parliament the same day by its President, the Commission supported that request. On 11 December 2002, the Commission proposed amendments to Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5), and then submitted an amended proposal on 22 April 2004. The European Parliament does not consider that this proposal preserves its legislative prerogatives. In the view of the European Parliament, it and the Council should have the opportunity of evaluating the conferral of implementing powers on the Commission within a determined period. It is therefore appropriate to limit the period during which the Commission may adopt implementing measures.
(8) The European Parliament should be given a period of three months from the first transmission of draft amendments and implementing measures to allow it to examine them and to give its opinion. However, in urgent and duly justified cases, it should be possible to shorten that period. If, within that period, a resolution is adopted by the European Parliament, the Commission should re-examine the draft amendments or measures.
(9) Further consequential amendments are necessary to postpone the dates for the repeal of Council Directive 93/22/EEC of 10 May 1993 on investment services in the securities field (6) and for the transitional provisions laid down in Directive 2004/39/EC, and to extend the timetable for the Commission's reporting obligations.
(10) Given the postponed deadline between the obligation for Member States to transpose Directive 2004/39/EC into national law and the deadline for investment firms and credit institutions to comply with the new requirements, the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC will remain ineffective until 1 November 2007; it is therefore appropriate to repeal Directive 93/22/EEC with effect from 1 November 2007.
(11) Directive 2004/39/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 2004/39/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) Recital 69 shall be replaced by the following:
‘(69) The European Parliament should be given a period of three months from the first transmission of draft amendments and implementing measures to allow it to examine them and to give its opinion. However, in urgent and duly justified cases, it should be possible to shorten that period. If, within that period, a resolution is adopted by the European Parliament, the Commission should re-examine the draft amendments or measures.’;
(2) Article 64 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the following paragraph shall be inserted:
(b) paragraph 3 shall be replaced by the following:
(3) Article 65 shall be replaced by the following:
(a) the continued appropriateness of the exemption provided for in Article 2(1)(k) for undertakings whose main business is dealing on own account in commodity derivatives;
(b) the content and form of proportionate requirements for the authorisation and supervision of such undertakings as investment firms within the meaning of this Directive;
(c) the appropriateness of rules concerning the appointment of tied agents in performing investment services and/or activities, in particular with respect to the supervision of them;
(d) the continued appropriateness of the exemption provided for in Article 2(1)(i).
(4) Article 69 shall be replaced by the following:
(5) in Article 70, the first subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
(6) In Article 71, paragraphs 1 to 5 shall be replaced by the following:
1. Member States shall adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 January 2007. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these measures from 1 November 2007.

Whereas Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for an intervention threshold to be fixed if the market in a product listed in Annex II is suffering or at risk of suffering from imbalances giving or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals; whereas such a development might cause budget problems for the Community;
Whereas the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 are met for certain products and intervention thresholds for oranges, satsumas, mandarins and clementines should therefore be fixed;
Whereas this intervention threshold for each of those products should be fixed on the basis of a percentage of the average production intended for consumption in the fresh state over the last five marketing years for which data are available; whereas the period to be taken into account for assessing the over-run of the intervention threshold must also be established for each product in question;
Whereas, under the abovementioned Article 27, an over-run of the intervention threshold gives rise to a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the over-run; whereas the implications of this over-run for each of the products in question should be determined and a reduction proportional to the size of the over-run should be fixed, up to a certain percentage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The following intervention thresholds are fixed for the 1998/99 marketing year:
>TABLE>
The over-run of the intervention threshold for the products listed in Article 1 shall be assessed on the basis of the withdrawals carried out between 1 August 1998 and 31 July 1999.
If the quantity of one of the products listed in Article 1 withdrawn in the period laid down in Article 2 exceeds the threshold fixed in Article 1, the Community withdrawal compensation fixed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 1999/2000 marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the over-run compared with the production used to calculate the threshold in question.
The Community withdrawal compensation shall not, however, be reduced by more than 30 %.

In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 22 to 28 July 2005, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 868/2005, the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported shall be 20,99 EUR/t and be valid for a total maximum quantity of 150 t.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof, which laid down that 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 (2), shall continue to apply to proceedings in relation to which an investigation pending on 1 September 1994 has not been concluded by the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission, after consultations within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1391/91 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of asparmate originating in Japan and the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as 'the USA`).
B. PRESENT PROCEDURE
1. Review application
(2) In January 1994, a United States (US) exporter, the NutraSweet Company (hereinafter referred to as 'NSC`), requested the Commission to review the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of aspartame originating in the USA and to reopen the investigation. NSC argued in its review application that the following significant changes had occurred since the imposition of the definitive duty which constitute substantially changed circumstances sufficient to justify the need for a review within the meaning of Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereinafter referred to as 'the basic Regulation`):
- domestic US prices have significantly decreased as a result of the expiry of the US patent held by NSC. As a consequence, NSC's normal value has dramatically decreased, thus eliminating the conditions for a dumping margin,
- a state-of-the art plant has been established in France, for the production of aspartame, which is co-owned by NSC. The production capacity of this plant will be sufficient to cover the normal Community demand for aspartame,
- exports of US aspartame by NSC to the Community have significantly decreased and are being replaced by sales of aspartame produced in the Community.
2. Initiation of review investigation
(3) It was considered, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, that the request contained sufficient evidence of changed circumstances to warrant a review pursuant to Article 14 of the basic Regulation.
(4) The Commission therefore published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4) and commenced an investigation.
3. Scope of the review
(5) The product concerned by this review investigation is the same as the product subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty, namely aspartame, a sweetening ingredient with a taste profile similar to sugar but a smaller caloric value, falling within CN code ex 2924 29 90.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 October 1993 to 31 March 1994.
(7) Although the review application lodged by NSC was explicitly limited to the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports from the USA, the Commission considered whether such a limitation was justified and informed the Japanese exporter of aspartame involved in the previous investigation, Ajinomoto Co. Ltd, Tokyo (hereinafter referred to as 'Ajinomoto`), prior to opening the investigation. However, this company indicated that it was now supplying the Community market from manufacturing facilities in the Community and had no interest in participating in a review investigation.
(8) Because of an explicit indication in the review application that 'the requested review should be limited to the dumping margin of NSC`, the Commission did not address injury aspects during the first phase of the investigation. However, when it subsequently became apparent that the anti-dumping duty in force would not be repealed based on dumping findings, NSC decided to shift the emphasis of its argumentation to injury aspects and explicitly requested the Commission to verify that 'there (was) no threat injurious dumping of aspartame exported from the US would resume if the anti-dumping measures under review were repealed`.
4. Investigation
(9) The Commission officially notified the sole Community producer of aspartame and complainant in the previous investigation, the Holland Sweetener Company Vof (hereinafter referred to as 'HSC`), the US exporter NSC and the US authorities of the initiation of the investigation and gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
(10) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed to be necessary for the purpose of its investigation and visited the premises of the US exporter NSC in Deerfield, Illinois.
(11) The Community producer HSC, the US exporter NSC and the Japanese exporter Ajinomoto were offered the possibility of being informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to repeal the anti-dumping duty. However, none of the parties concerned made a request to this effect.
C. RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
1. Dumping
1.1. Normal value
(12) During the investigation period, NSC was selling aspartame on the US market in quantities which were clearly sufficient to base normal value on domestic prices. It was established that these sales were in the ordinary course of trade.
(13) The essential element in the investigation of the normal value was the decrease in US domestic prices which, according to NSC, occurred following the expiry of the exclusive patent held by this company. It was confirmed that the patent had effectively expired in December 1992, thereby allowing competition on the US aspartame market, and that prices had substantially decreased as compared with those recorded during the previous investigation.
1.2. Export price
(14) NSC made only two export transactions to the Community during the investigation period. This is due to the fact that this company had virtually ceased to export following the establishment of a production plant in France which is now supplying all Community customers of NSC. It was found that these transactions, concerning relatively small quantities of aspartame, had been specifically arranged with European customers for the purpose of the review investigation. For this reason, the information relating to the prices paid by the customers concerned was considered as misleading and it was decided to disregard it in accordance with Article 7 (7) (b) of the basic Regulation.
(15) Under these circumstances, and in the absence of any other reasonable basis for the export price, the Commission chose to look at the 'old` export prices recorded during the previous investigation.
1.3. Comparison
(16) The comparison of the 'new` normal value, based on US domestic prices during the investigation period, with the 'old` export prices, recorded during the previous investigation, revealed that, although NSC's normal value had decreased significantly since the previous investigation, this decrease was not altogether sufficient to eliminate completely the dumping margin.
2. Injury
2.1. Argumentation presented by NSC
(17) Out of the elements presented by NSC, the following were of direct relevance for an evaluation of the injury aspects of the case:
- a plant has been established in the Community by NSC, as a joint venture with the Japanese producer Ajinomoto, with sufficient production to satisfy the demand of NSC's customers in the Community,
- as a result, NSC has virtually ceased to export aspartame to the Community since the middle of 1993,
- the capacity of the French plant being sufficient to cover all anticipated demand in the Community market, there is no reason to believe that exports from the US would resume to a sizeable market share if the anti-dumping measures were lifted.
The evidence supplied by NSC to substantiate these points was examined.
2.2. No comments by Community producer
(18) HSC was invited to comment on the argumentation presented by NSC in relation to injury aspects. Its attention was drawn to the fact that, in the absence of any objection, the decision may be taken to repeal the anti-dumping duties currently in force on imports of aspartame originating in both the USA and Japan. However, HSC did not raise any objection to such an outcome.
2.3. Conclusions on injury
2.3.1. No risk of resumption of injury
(19) HSC being the sole producer as aspartame in the Community and the only complaining party in the previous procedure, the absence of comments on its part is to be interpreted as a loss of interest in the continuation of the anti-dumping measures and a confirmation of NSC's argument that a repeal of these measures would not entail any risk of injurious dumping being resumed.
2.3.2. Validity of this conclusion for Japan as well as the USA
(20) Although the scope of the review was explicitly limited to imports from the USA, the conclusion of no injury reached in this investigation made it unavoidable also to reconsider the validity of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports from Japan. This was done under Article 14 (3) of the basic Regulation without a specific re-opening of the investigation in this respect.
(21) The information available suggests that the main reason why the Community industry no longer feels injured by imports of aspartame is that such imports have been discontinued as a result of the setting up of production facilities in France and are not likely to resume to a sizeable market share. The sole Japanese producer of aspartame, Ajinomoto, is an equal partner of NSC in this joint venture and information obtained from this company (see recital (7) supra) indicates that they also are now exclusively supplying the Community market with Community produced aspartame.
(22) Under these circumstances, the conclusion of no risk of resumption of injury arrived at in relation to NSC equally applies to Ajinomoto.
D. REPEAL OF ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES
(23) In view of the foregoing, the anti-dumping duties in force on imports as aspartame originating in both the USA and Japan should be repealed, thereby terminating the proceeding.
Regulation (EEC) No 1391/91 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas potato production occupies an important place in Community agriculture;
Whereas the potato yield is constantly threatened by harmful organisms;
Whereas, through the protection of potato cultivation against such harmful organisms, not only should productive capacity be maintained, but also agricultural productivity increased;
Whereas proctective measures to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms into individual Member States would have only a limited effect if such organisms were not controlled simultaneously and methodically throughout the Community and were not prevented from spreading;
Whereas one of the organisms most harmful to potatoes is Potato Cyst Eelworm (Heterodera rostochiensis Woll.);
Whereas this pest has occurred in several Member States and there are contaminated areas within the Community;
Whereas there is a permanent risk to potato cultivation throughout the Community if effective measures are not taken to control this pest and prevent it from spreading;
Whereas, to eradicate this pest, minimum provisions must be adopted for the Community ; whereas Member States must be able to adopt additional or stricter provisions where necessary;
Whereas potato varieties which are resistant to certain pathotypes of this pest play an important role ; whereas their use on contaminated plots may be helpful to some extent ; whereas it is therefore in the general interest to publish periodic lists of such varieties;
Whereas, for determining the presence of contamination and the resistance of varieties, it appears necessary to apply appropriate methods to which Member States raise no objection;
This Directive concerns the minimum measures to be taken within the Member States to control Potato Cyst Eelworm (Heterodera rostochiensis Woll.) and to prevent it from spreading.
The Member States shall provide that seed potatoes intended for marketing may be produced only on plots which, on official investigation, have been recognised as uncontaminated by Potato Cyst Eelworm. (1) OJ No 28, 17.2.1967, p. 454/67.
When an occurrence of Potato Cyst Eelworm is recorded, Member States shall demarcate the contaminated plot.
The Member States shall provide that on contaminated plots: (a) no potatoes may be grown;
(b) no plant intended for transplanting may be grown, stored in the ground or otherwise.
The Member States shall provide that seed potatoes which are contaminated or suspected of being contaminated must, if they are distributed as seed potatoes, be treated in such a way that they are no longer contaminated.
The Member States shall revoke the measures taken to control Potato Cyst Eelworm or to prevent it from spreading only if it is no longer found to be present.
The Member States shall prohibit the holding of Potato Cyst Eelworm.
1. Member States may authorise: (a) derogations from the measures referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 7 for scientific purposes, tests and selection work;
(b) by way of derogation from Article 4 (a), the growing on contaminated plots of varieties of potato which are resistant to pathotypes of Potato Cyst Eelworm found on the plots;
(c) by way of derogation from Article 4 (a), the growing on contaminated plots of potatoes other than seed potatoes, provided that it is ensured that such potatoes will be harvested before the cysts of Potato Cyst Eelworm mature;
(d) by way of derogation from Article 4 (a), the growing on contaminated plots of potatoes other than seed potatoes, where the ground has been disinfected by appropriate means.
2. The Member States shall ensure that the authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 are granted only where adequate controls guarantee that they do not prejudice the control of Potato Cyst Eelworm and create no risk of the spread of this pest.
3. A potato variety shall be regarded as being resistant to a particular pathotype of Potato Cyst Eelworm if, when that variety is grown, a natural and annual decrease in the population of that pathotype is found to occur.
Member States may adopt such additional or stricter provisions as may be required to control Potato Cyst Eelworm or to prevent it from spreading.
0
1. The Member States shall communicate to the Commission before 1 January each year a list of all the varieties of potato accepted by them for marketing and which they have found, by official investigation, to be resistant to Potato Cyst Eelworm. They shall state the pathotypes to which the varieties are resistant.
2. The Commission shall ensure that a list of resistant varieties, based on the communications from the Member States, is published each year, if possible before 1 February.
1
The Member States shall ensure that contamination by Potato Cyst Eelworm and the resistance of potato varieties to this pest are determined by appropriate methods to which Member States raise no objection.
2
Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within two years following its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1298/2002(4), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(5), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(6), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(7), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(8), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(9) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(10) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(7) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(11), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(12) with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta, are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2) and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations(3), as amended by Directive 98/48/EC(4),
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Directive 89/106/EEC stipulates that Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that construction products may be placed on the market only if the works in which they are to be incorporated fulfil the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 of that Directive.
(2) Under Article 4(2) of Directive 89/106/EEC, construction products are presumed to be fit for use and allow the works in which they are employed to satisfy the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 of that Directive, if they conform to the national standards applicable to them transposing the harmonised standards, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(3) Member States are required to publish the reference numbers of national standards transposing harmonised standards, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(4) Pursuant to Article 5(1) of Directive 89/106/EEC, Germany raised a formal objection in respect of certain harmonised standards on the grounds that they do not permit the works in which the products are installed to fully satisfy the essential requirements of Directive 89/106/EEC. The standards concerned are ten harmonised standards for thermal insulation products, adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 23 May 2001, the reference numbers of which were published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEC) of 15 December 2001(5); nine geotextiles standards adopted by the CEN on 13 December 2000, the reference numbers of which were published in the (OJEC) of 26 June 2001(6); ten fixed fire-fighting equipment standards adopted by the CEN on 13 December 2000, 21 March 2001 and 11 April 2001, the reference numbers of which were published in the OJEC of 18 July 2001(7), 15 December 2001 and 14 February 2002(8); and harmonised standard EN12859: 2001 "Gypsum blocks - definitions, requirements and test methods", adopted by the CEN on 13 June 2001, the reference number of which was published in the (OJEC) of 15 December 2001.
(5) The information received in the course of the consultations with the CEN and the national authorities in the Committee set up by Directive 89/106/EEC, and with the Committee set up by Directive 98/34/EC, has disclosed no evidence of the risk alleged by Germany.
(6) Consequently, it has not been demonstrated that the 30 harmonised standards contested, fail to allow the works in which the products are installed to meet the essential requirements of Directive 89/106/EEC.
(7) It is therefore not necessary to withdraw the references to those standards,
The references to ten thermal insulation standards, set out in Table 1 of the Annex, adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 23 May 2001 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 15 December 2001, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The references to nine geotextiles standards, set out in Table 2 of the Annex, adopted by the CEN on 13 December 2000 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 26 June 2001, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The references to ten fixed fire-fighting standards, set out in Table 3 of the Annex, adopted by the CEN on 13 December 2000, 21 March 2001 and 11 April 2001 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 18 July 2001, 15 December 2001 and 14 February 2002, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
The reference of standard EN12859: 2001 "Gypsum blocks - definitions, requirements and test methods", adopted by CEN on 13 June 2001 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 15 December 2001, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COMMISSION
COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 November 1987
suspending the illicit commercial practices procedure concerning the unauthorized reproduction of sound recordings in Indonesia
(87/553/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 of 17 September 1984 on the strengthening of the common commercial policy with regard in particular to protection against illicit commercial practices (1),
Following consultations inthe advisory committee set up by the said Regulation,
Whereas:
On 16 March 1987 the Commission received a complaint from the association of members of the International Federation of Phonogram and Videogram producers (IFPI), on behalf of producers representing virtually the whole of the Community sound-recording industry;
As the complaint provided sufficient evidence, within the meaning of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, of the existence of illicit commercial practices and of consequent injury, the Commission announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the initiation of an examination procedure concerning the unauthorized reproduction of sound recordings in Indonesia falling within subheading 92.12 B I of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.12-39;
The Commission began its investigation by seeking the information required to establish the facts;
The information obtained to date has confirmed the allegation made by the Community industry concerned that, unlike the works of Indonesian nationals, the works of nationals of Member States of the Community, including sound recordings, unless first published in Indonesia received no effective protection under Indonesian law againt unauthorized reproduction and that the Community industry suffered injury thereby;
While the examination procedure was under way, the Indonesian authorities requested its suspension;
In support of their request the Indonesian authrities pointed out:
- that the Indonesian parliament had recently amended the 1982 Indonesian law on copyright,
- that the effect of the changes was to strengthen appreciably the protection given by Indonesian law to the works of Indonesian nationals, including sound recordings, and also to extend to the works of nationals of other countries, by means of the new Article 48, the protection given to Indonesian nationals' works,
- that they were ready to begin consultations with the Community with the aim of reaching a solution that would provide for the works of nationals of the Member States protection identical to that given to the works of Indonesian nationals on the basis of the new law;
In view of this request and the reasons given for it, the Commission considers that in the Community's interest the Indonesian authorities should be given a reasonable period of time in which to adopt the measures referred to in their request;
The complainant has been consulted and has not raised any objections;
The Community procedure concerning the unauthorized reproduction of sound recordings in Indonesia should therefore be suspended until 29 February 1988,
The examination procedure concerning the unauthorized reproduction of sound recordings in Indonesia is hereby suspended until 29 February 1988. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| REGULATION (EEC) No 2765/75 OF THE COUNCIL of 29 October 1975 on the general rules to be applied in the event of a substantial rise in pigmeat prices
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 (1) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 11 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that when a substantial price rise is recorded on the Community market and this situation is likely to continue, thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the market, the necessary measures may be taken;
Whereas a substantial price rise may be ascertained by reference to the level of basic prices for pig carcases and to the development of market prices over a sufficiently representative period on the representative Community markets listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2762/75 (2) of 29 October 1975 establishing the list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community;
Whereas, in assessing whether such a rise will continue, account should be taken, in particular, of current trends in the market in young pigs and of surveys and estimates made in pursuance of the Council Directive of 27 March 1968 (3), concerning surveys of pig production to be made by Member States, and of the foreseeable trends in market prices for pig carcases;
Whereas, in order to eliminate disturbances or the threat of disturbances on the market resulting from a continuing rise in prices, supply must be increased ; whereas, to this end, the total or partial suspension of the levy should be allowed ; whereas, the products to be covered by this suspension should be selected in the light of the market situation,
1. A substantial price rise within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall exist when, as a result of a general price rise in all regions of the Community, the average of prices for pig carcases on the representative markets of the Community as listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2762/75 is higher than the average of those prices over the preceding period of three years, running from 1 November to 31 October, and adjusted where appropriate to take account of cyclic movement in the prices in question, that average being increased by the difference between it and the average of the basic prices in force during the period in question, taking into account all alterations in the basic price in relation to that resulting from the average for that period.
2. The substantial price rise is considered to be likely to continue if there is an imbalance between supply and demand in pigmeat and in particular if that imbalance is likely to continue on account of: (a) current trends in the number of sows mated and in the price of piglets;
(b) the surveys and estimates made in pursuance of the Council Directive of 27 March 1968 concerning surveys of pig production to be made by Member States;
(c) foreseeable trends in market prices for pigmeat.
1. When the conditions referred to in the first paragraph of Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 are fulfilled, in accordance with the criteria (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal. (2)See page 17 of this Official Journal. (3)OJ No L 76, 28.3.1968, p. 13.
laid down in Article 1 of this Regulation, the total or partial suspension of the levy fixed in pursuance of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 may be decided upon according to the procedure laid down in Article 24 of that Regulation.
2. The measures provided for in paragraph 1 may be taken in respect of one or more of the products listed in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 in the light of the market situation.
The information on which the measures provided for in Article 2 are based shall be reviewed regularly in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75.
1. Council Regulation (EEC) No 897/69 (1) of 13 May 1969 on the general rules to be applied in the event of a substantial rise in pigmeat prices, is hereby repealed.
2. References to the Regulation repealed by paragraph 1 shall be construed as references to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1975.

of 27 March 2000
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products originating in Ceuta
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2622/97(1), the Council opened zero-duty Community tariff quotas for 1998-1999 for live fry and juveniles of sea bass and bream, sea bass and sea bream originating in Ceuta (Order No 09.0321 and 09.0322).
(2) By letter of 15 November 1999 the Kingdom of Spain was asked to extend the validity of the quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2622/97.
(3) The Spanish authorities backed their request with social and economic arguments on Ceuta, showing the constraints under which its economy is operating and the difficulties faced by the local fishing industry. The request is justified as the economic situation in Ceuta requires the adoption of preferential measures to facilitate its exports to the Community.
(4) In view of the late transmission of the request the Council has not been able to adopt before 31 December 1999 a Regulation extending the validity of these quotas. These quotas are, therefore, reopened by the present Regulation.
(5) In the interests of rationalising implementation of the measures concerned, it is appropriate not to limit the validity of these quotas solely to the year 2000 but to extend it to the end of the year 2002.
(6) The quota period runs from 1 January to 31 December each year. As this Regulation will be applicable only from 1 April 2000 the quota period for 2000 should run from 1 April to 31 December, with the quota volume remaining the same as for the whole year.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(2) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations.
(8) Eligibility for the tariff quotas introduced by this Regulation is subject to the definition of preferential origin specified in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(3),
In 2000 from 1 April to 31 December and in 2001 and 2002 from 1 January to 31 December, the customs duties applicable on importation into the Community of the products in question, originating in Ceuta, shall be suspended at the level and within the limits of the annual Community tariff quotas shown below:
>TABLE>
Proof of the products' originating status shall be adduced in accordance with Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1135/88 of 7 March 1988 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation in the trade between the customs territory of the Community, Ceuta and Melilla and the Canary Islands(4).
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
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 April 2000.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (1), as last amended by Directive 94/71/EC (2), and in particular Annex A, Chapter IV, A (1) and (2) thereto,
Whereas pursuant to the terms of Directive 92/46/EEC, the method for calculating the geometric average of the somatic cell count in raw milk can be adjusted when the production level varies greatly during the low lactation period;
Whereas milk production is very low in Ireland from November to February, which results in an average somatic cell count during the period that exceeds the counts fixed by Directive 92/46/EEC; whereas these excesses have a physiological basis and cannot be ascribed to a disease of the udder;
Whereas the method for calculating the results should be adjusted to take account of this seasonal variation in production in Ireland;
Whereas Ireland has proposed an alternative calculation method that weights the geometric averages of the somatic cell count during the low lactation period; whereas this method ensures the quality of the milk collected in Ireland during this time of the year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
During the period from November of one year to February of the following year, Ireland is hereby authorized to use for calculating the somatic cell count in raw cows' milk provided for in Annex A, Chapter IV, A (1) and (2) to Directive 92/46/EEC a calculation method that involves weighting each month's results by a coefficient. The coefficient is obtained by multiplying the milk production level recorded each month during the period by 50 % of the average monthly value of the milk production recorded from April to September prior to the start of the period in question.
This Decision shall be reviewed two years following its adoption on the basis of a report presented to the Commission by the Irish authorities.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1566/93 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3877/88 of 12 December 1988 laying down general rules for the disposal of alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and held by intervention agencies (3), and in particular Articles 1 and 3 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 377/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2192/93 (5), lays down detailed rules for the disposal of alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and held by intervention agencies;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3389/90 (6) and (EEC) No 3390/90 (7) opening special sales by tender of vinus alcohol held by intervention agencies, for use as motor fuel within the Community, put up for sale by tender Nos 7/90 and 8/90 EC respectively 4 800 000 hectolitres of alcohol expressed in terms of hectolitres of alcohol at 100 % vol;
Whereas the successful tenderers, following the sale of a limited quantity of processed alcohol, have experienced serious and persistent difficulty in the disposal of such a volume of alcohol on the fuel market within the Community, due in particular to developments in substitution fuels manufactured from agricultural raw materials;
Whereas, in order to enable that alcohol to be used as intended under the Community rules and to avoid any disruption whatsoever to the Community market for alcohols and spirituous beverages in the case in question, taking into account the volume of alcohol awarded and the sensitivity of the sale markets other than the fuel market, it is necessary to reduce the quantities of alcohol to be used for the purposes specified and to cancel the sales by tender in respect of the lots of alcohol not taken out of intervention storage;
Whereas the performance guarantee in respect of alcohol lots still to be used for the purposes specified should be released only when the entire quantity of the alcohol in the lots concerned has been used in the fuel sector within the Community; whereas, in the current special circumstances, this obligation seeks to ensure the take over of all the quantities in question and their disposal, taking account of the sensitivity of the alcohol markets and in particular the fragility of the market for non-traditional substitution fuels;
Whereas provision should also be made for the transportation and processing of the alcohol sold as well as the final utilization of the finisched product to be monitored in order to ensure that the alcohol is actually used in a manner not likely to disrupt the alcohol market;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. Notwithstanding Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3389/90, the first lot only under special sale by tender No 7/90 EC, consisting of 640 000 hectolitres of alcohol at 100 % vol, must be used as motor fuel within the Community. The processing of the alcohol for this purpose must take place also within the Community.
2. Notwithstanding Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3390/90, the first two lots only under special sale by tender No 8/90 EC, consisting of a total quantity of 640 000 hectolitres of alcohol at 100 % vol, must be used as motor fuel within the Community. The processing of the alcohol for this purpose must take place also within the Community.
Notwithstanding Articles 3 and 4 of Regulations (EEC) No 3389/90 and (EEC) No 3390/90, the use as motor fuel of alocohol from the first lot under special sale by tender No 7/90 EC and from the first two lots under special sale by tender No 8/90 EC must cease, save in cases of force majeure, within two years of the entry into force of this Regulation.
Notwithstanding Article 27 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (8) the performance guarantee provided for in Article 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 377/93 concerning the first lot under special sale by tender No 7/90 EC shall be released by the intervention agency concerned when all the alcohol from the first lot under special sale by tender No 7/90 EC and from the first two lots under special sale by tender No 8/90 EC has been used as motor fuel within the Community.
Without prejudice to the special provisions laid down under Community rules, the control measures concerning the alcohol referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2) shall comprise:
- the national control measures laid down pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 377/93. The controls shall consist at least of checks equivalent to those used to monitor home-produced alcohol and petroleum products when the alcohol has been processed into fuel, notably at the stage or production, marketing or final use,
- an additional check carried out by an international monitoring firm. The latter shall carry out checks in particular when the processed or unprocessed alcohol is being transported between a number of Member States and shall verify that it is not being exported to a third country. This check shall entail the taking of samples at various stages so that the nature of the alcohol being transported can be analysed. The costs in question shall be borne by the successful tenderer,
- the following specific measures:
- denaturing of the alcohol in the manner determined by the Commission in agreement with the intervention agency concerned,
- determination, under the supervision of the competent monitoring authority, of the volume of spirits distilled from wine used for manufacture of the finished product accepted by the Commission,
- a check on the final use of the finished product in the Community by the competent monitoring authority in accordance with the national rules concerned; the T 5 control copy or the control document equivalent to the T 5 control copy provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87 (9) drawn up by the competent monitoring authority may be endorsed only after the excise duty on the finished product containing the spirits distilled from wine has been collecte and can no longer be reimbursed,
- where a type of fuel is not subject to excise duty in a Member State, the T 5 control copy or the equivalent control document shall be endorsed only where the successful tenderer has fulfilled the fiscal requirements regarding this type of fuel in the Member State in which final use is made and where proof of sale on the Community market is furnished.
The performance guarantee regarding the alcohol referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation shall be released subject in particular to:
- presentation of a report by the international monitoring firm. This report shall cover verification of the quantity of alcohol transported, an evaluation of any alcohol loss and statements concerning the denaturing and processing of the alcohol. The intervention agency holding the guarantee shall verify the reliability of the report and transmit to the Commission, at quarterly intervals, a declaration of the alcohol used,
- the outcome of the analysis, carried out by nuclear magnetic resonance, of the alcohol for which the Commission and/or the competent control authority prescribes such analysis in order to verify the nature of the alcohol,
- presentation of the T 5 control copy or the control document equivalent to the T 5 control copy provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87, endorsed by the competent control authority of the Member State in which final use took place, attesting that the spirity distilled from wine were used for the specified purposes within the Community.
1. Special sales by tender Nos 7 and 8/90 EC are hereby cancelled in respect of the lots of alcohol not taken out of intervention storage.
2. The performance guarantee of ECU 90 per hectolitre of alcohol at 100 % vol established in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 3389/90 and (EEC) No 3390/90 in respect of these lots of alcohol shall be released by the intervention agency concerned.

| Commission Decision
of 27 December 2000
prohibiting the use of certain animal by-products in animal feed
(notified under document number C(2000) 4143)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2001/25/EC)
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 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 90/667/EC of 27 November 1990 laying down the veterinary rules for the disposal and processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the prevention of pathogens in feedstuffs of animal or fish origin and amending Directive 90/425/EEC(3), established the principle that all animal waste, regardless of its source, may be used for the production of feed material following appropriate treatment.
(2) According to Commission Decision 98/272/EC of 23 April 1998 on epidemio-surveillance for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (and amending Decision 94/474/EC(4), as amended by Decision 2000/374/EC(5), animals which are slaughtered or have died with TSE shall be destroyed.
(3) After feed containing processed ruminant waste contaminated by the infective agent was identified as the primary source of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a Community wide ban on feeding protein derived from mammalian tissues to ruminants was established in July 1994 by Commission Decision 94/381/EC of 27 June 1994 concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein(6), as last amended by Decision 1999/129/EC(7).
(4) Council Decision 1999/534/EC of 19 July 1999 on measures applying to the processing of certain animal waste to protect against TSE and amending Commission Decision 97/735/EC(8) establishes that, from 1 April 1997, all mammalian animal waste must be processed in accordance with the minimum parameters of 133 °C, 20 minutes, 3 bar, which are regarded as being the most effective for the inactivation of the agents of scrapie and BSE.
(5) Commission Decision 2000/418/EC regulating the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and amending Decision 94/474/EC(9) establishes that, from 1 October 2000, specified risk material must be removed from all parts of the food and feed chain. In the case of cattle, sheep and goats that have died, either the specified risk materials must be removed or the whole carcase must be destroyed.
(6) The Scientific Steering Committee has adopted a number of opinions related to the safety of animal by-products, including animal feed. The main conclusion of those scientific opinions is that animal by-products derived from animals not fit for human consumption following health inspection should not enter the feed chain.
(7) Based on those scientific opinions, on 19 October 2000, the Commission adopted a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(10). The key issue of this proposal is the prohibiton of recycling certain animal by-products into the feed chain, namely dead animals and condemned animal material. The only raw material allowed to be used for the production of animal feed would then be material derived from animals declared fit for human consumption.
(8) On 16 November 2000, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on BSE and safety of animal feedingstuffs, calling for an immediate ban of feeding animal meal to all farmed animals, unless the implementation of the above existing Community legislation is guaranteed by Member States and as long as the exclusion of animals who have died from the animal feed chain as proposed by the Commission has not come into force.
(9) Recent Community inspections have identified weaknesses in relation to the implementation of existing Community legislation on the control of TSE. It is therefore appropriate to immediately prohibit the recycling into the feed chain of certain animal by-products. In the case of large animal disease outbreaks, special arrangements may be adopted.
(10) In the light of recent developments in the BSE situation in the Community, on 21 November 2000, the Council invited the Commission to exclude dead animals from feed for farm animals.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
For the purpose of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:
farmed animals: any animal which is kept, fattened or bred for the production of food;
pet animals: animals belonging to species normally nourished and kept, but not consumed, by man for purposes other than farming;
experimental animals: animals defined by Article 2 of Council Directive 86/609/EEC(11);
feed: feed of animal origin for farmed animals, including processed animal proteins as defined by Article 2(e) of Council Directive 92/118/EEC(12) as last amended by Commission Decision 1999/724/EC(13), rendered fats, fish oil, gelatine and hydrolysed proteins and dicalcium phosphate.
Member States shall ensure that the following animal waste is not used for the production of feed for farmed animals:
(a) all bovine animals, pigs, goats, sheep, solipeds, poultry, farmed fish and all other animals kept for agricultural production which have died on the farm but were not slaughtered for human consumption, including stillborn and unborn animals;
(b) the following dead animals:
(i) pet animals,
(ii) zoo animals,
(iii) circus animals,
(iv) experimental animals,
(v) wild animals designated by the competent authority;
(c) animals which are killed on the farm for disease control measures;
(d) without prejudice to instances of energency slaughtering for reasons of welfare, farm animals which have died in transit.
This Decision shall apply at the latest by 1 March 2001.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Whereas:
(1) The Common Fisheries Policy will be reviewed before 1 January 2003.

2. The pilot reduction rates shall be as follows:
- 36 % for the stocks defined as depletion risk in Annex I,
- 24 % for the stocks defined as overfished in Annex I.
3. In the case of stocks defined as fully exploited in Annex I, there shall be no increase in fishing effort for the period 1997 to 2002.
4. In respect of stocks other than those referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, including stocks for which the situation is insufficiently known, there shall be no increase in fishing effort for the period 1997 to 2002. In specific cases where Member States can identify additional fishing opportunities on these stocks, a level of additional fishing effort for the fleet segments fishing these stocks may be decided."
2. Article 3 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 3
A Member State may exempt fishing vessels of its fleet of less than 12 metres overall, other than trawlers, from the provisions of Article 2. In this case, the aggregate capacity of this fleet segment, expressed in GT tonnage and in kW power, shall not increase beyond the level at 1 January 1997, or beyond the level corresponding to the objectives of MAGP III, for the period to 31 December 2002 except for vessels already registered in the Fishing Vessel Register of the Community, in the framework of programmes for improving safety, navigation at sea, hygiene, product quality and working conditions."

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 84 of the Financial Regulation and Article 94 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 of 29 October 2012 on the rules of application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (3) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rules of Application’), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.
(2) Decision 2009/470/EC lays down the procedures governing the financial contribution from the Union towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. With a view to helping to eradicate bluetongue as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. The second indent of Article 3(6) of that Decision lays down rules on the percentage that must be applied to the costs incurred by the Member States.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 (4) lays down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC. Article 3 of that Regulation lays down rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.
(4) Commission Decision 2008/655/EC (5) granted a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat bluetongue in Spain in 2007 and 2008.
(5) On 14 April 2009, Spain submitted an official request for reimbursement as set out in Article 7(1) and 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005. The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to Spain in letters dated 26 December 2012 and 9 July 2013. The agreement from the Spanish authorities was received on 4 September 2013.
(6) The payment of the financial contribution from the Union must be subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.
(7) The Spanish authorities have fully complied with their technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(8) In view of the above considerations, the total amount of the financial support from the Union to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of bluetongue in Spain in 2007 and 2008 should now be fixed according to Article 3(2) of Decision 2008/655/EC.
(9) A first tranche of EUR 8 000 000,00, a second tranche of EUR 17 000 000,00 and a third tranche of EUR 15 000 000,00 have already been paid.
(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,
The financial contribution from the Union towards the expenditure associated with eradicating bluetongue in Spain in 2007 and 2008 is fixed at EUR 41 158 940,11. It constitutes a financing decision in the meaning of Article 84 of the Financial Regulation.
Having regard to the total Union contribution of EUR 41 158 940,11, the balance of the financial contribution fixed at EUR 1 158 940,11 remains to be paid.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2644/80 of 14 October 1980 laying down general rules for intervention with regard to the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the possibility of intervention in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector by the granting of private storage aid;
Whereas the functioning of such a system of aid may be facilitated by the conclusion of contracts with intervention agencies;
Whereas, to attain the objects of the aid, as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the level of aid must be fixed with regard to the costs incurred in storage ; whereas, for this purpose, it is appropriate to provide for two methods for determining the said level ; whereas, in both cases, the aid must be granted without discrimination among interested parties established in the Community;
Whereas appropriate measures should be laid down for cases where the market situation for the products in question necessitates amendment of the terms of contracts about to be concluded or alteration of the period of storage provided for in contracts already concluded;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the possibility of intervention in the sheepmeat sector by means of buying in by the intervention agencies;
Whereas general criteria governing such buying-in should be laid down, having regard both to the objectives of the intervention system, in particular the balance between the market in question and that of competing animal products, and to the Community's financial liabilities in this connection;
Whereas, to attain the objects pursued by the grant of the variable slaughter premium for sheep referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, provision shall be made that, during a given marketing year, intervention purchases, as provided for in Article 6 (1) (b) of that Regulation, may not be decided on in the Member States which apply the said premium, during that marketing year, and vice versa;
Whereas appropriate measures should be taken in relation to the application of intervention buying-in to ensure that such buying-in relates only to qualities of sheepmeat carcases in respect of which there exist prices sufficiently representative of the true market situation, pending harmonization of the systems for classifying such qualities by means of a Community classification scale;
Whereas it is necessary to provide that the buying-in prices for the various qualities must be determined on the basis of the relative value normally existing in respect of each of those qualities in each Member State where such buying-in is carried out;
Whereas provision should be made, where the measures laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 are applied, the buying-in prices should be determined in the same way as those specified above,
TITLE I Private storage aid
1. Private storage within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 shall mean the storing, in a warehouse, of products falling within the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector where this operation is carried out on their own account and at their own risk by natural or legal persons established in the Community other than the intervention agencies referred to in Article 6 (1) (b) of that Regulation.
(1) OJ No L 183, 16.7.1980, p. 1. 2. Private storage aid may only be granted in respect of products derived from animals originating in the Community which are stored under conditions to be determined.
3. The aid shall be granted in accordance with the terms and conditions of contracts concluded with the intervention agencies ; such contracts shall lay down the reciprocal obligations of the contracting parties under standard conditions for each product.
Unless specially authorized, applications for private storage aid may be made only in the Member State where the product is to be stored.
If the market situation so requires, the storage period specified in the contract may be reduced or extended under conditions to be determined.
1. The amount of aid shall be: - either determined by means of an invitation to tender published in the Official Journal of the European Communities,
- or fixed in advance at a flat rate.
2. Equal treatment shall be given to all applicants as to the admissibility of their tender whatever their place of establishment in the Community.
Only applicants who have guaranteed the fulfilment of their obligations by lodging a security, which shall be forfeited in whole or in part if the obligations specified in the contract are not or are only partially fulfilled, shall be permitted to tender and to conclude contracts.
3. The time limit for the entry of the products into store and the length of the storage period shall be specified.
4. The amount of the aid may not normally exceed an amount equal to the costs which would be incurred if the storage were effected by the intervention agencies.
1. In the selection of the successful tenderers, priority shall be given to those tenders which are most advantageous to the Community.
2. It may be decided, in any event, to make no award of contract.
Where a flat rate of aid is fixed in advance: (a) a single rate shall be fixed for each product taking into account storage costs, normal deterioration in quality and, as far as possible, the foreseeable increase in the price of the product in question;
(b) applications for aid shall be granted under conditions to be determined, in particular with regard to the time between the submission of the application and the conclusion of the contract;
(c) the conclusion of storage contracts may be suspended or the terms of contracts about to be concluded may be revised if examination of the market situation, of the quantities covered by contracts and of the contract applications in hand render one of those measures necessary.
TITLE II Buying-in by the intervention agencies
1. The qualities and presentations of the sheep carcases bought in by the intervention agencies must be determined with regard to the need to ensure adequate market support and to facilitate sale of the goods when storage ends.
2. In cases where Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 is applied, the intervention measures and the products to which those measures apply must be selected with regard to the need to limit the financial burden on the Community.
The intervention measures referred to in Article 6 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 may be implemented only in Member States which do not at any time during a given marketing year pay the variable slaughter premium provided for in Article 9 of that Regulation.
The intervention measures referred to in Article 6 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 may be implemented only in Member States which apply a national carcase classification system which permits identification of the qualities which will best give market support and a representative survey of the prices fetched by those qualities.
0
1. For each Member State where it has been decided to apply the intervention measures referred to in Article 6 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the buying-in prices for the qualities referred to in Article 7 (1) shall be fixed on the basis of the relative value normally existing in respect of each of those qualities.
2. If the measures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 are applied, the buying-in prices shall be those determined under paragraph 1.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes octanoic acid.
(2) Octanoic acid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, and product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 4 and 18 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority reports, together with recommendations, to the Commission on 7 December 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority reports were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013 in two assessment reports.
(5) It appears from those reports that biocidal products used for product-types 4 and 18 and containing octanoic acid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve octanoic acid for use in biocidal products for product-type 4 and 18.
(7) Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing octanoic acid in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Octanoic acid shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 4 and 18, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas the additional provisions laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1728/92 include a time limit of the first five working days of each month for the submission of licences and certificates; whereas experience has shown that this period is insufficient; whereas it should therefore be adjusted; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1728/92 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1728/92 is replaced by the following:
'1. Applications for licences and certificates shall be submitted to the competent authority during the first 10 working days of each month. Licence or certificate applications shall be admissible only if:

(93/396/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 of 7 December 1992 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport within Member States (maritime cabotage) (1), and in particular to Article 5 thereof, which sets out the circumstances under which a Member State may request the Commission to adopt safeguard measures in the event of a serious disturbance of the internal transport market due to cabotage liberalization or in the case of an emergency,
Whereas on 17 February 1993 the Commission adopted Decision 93/125/EEC (2) on Spain's request for adoption by the Commission of safeguard measures pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 by which it granted an exclusion of the Spanish mainland area from the scope of the above Regulation with the exception of feeder services and for a period of six months expiring on the 17 August 1993;
Whereas, in particular, Article 5 of Decision 93/125/EEC, established that two independent experts would be appointed, one by the Commission and one by the Spanish authorities in order to prepare a joint study on the possible economic impact on the Spanish shipping sector of the liberalization of mainland cabotage, on the basis of which the Commission would, on request from Spain, review the situation;
Whereas, in accordance with the above provision, a study was submitted to the Commission on the 14 June 1993;
Whereas on 21 June 1993 Spain formally requested the Commission to prolong the safeguard measures in the same terms for an additional period of six months as from 17 August 1993;
Whereas a meeting was organized by the Commission on 24 June 1993 to consult the other Member States on this request in accordance with Article 5 (1) of the abovementioned Regulation;
Whereas on the basis of an analysis of traffic structure it was decided for the purpose of the study to pursue the analysis of the impact of cabotage liberalization through the segmentation of the cabotage market by vessel types and by market trades rather than by geographic areas, as the effects of liberalization will be geographically uniform;
Whereas each of the eight sectors into which the cabotage market was partitioned (supply services, transport of cement of clinker in bulk by specialized cement carriers, transport of reefer cargo, roll-on, roll-off transport services, transport of general cargo in containers, transport of break-bulk general cargo, transport of dry bulk cargo and transport of chemcial products in specialized tankers) was analysed as to the expected impact of immediate liberalization on its international competitive position and the expected impact of the prolongation of the derogation;
Whereas the study has demonstrated the relatively unfavourable competitive position of the Spanish cabotage fleet under the Spanish Ordinary Register's conditions and under the Canary Island Special Register's present conditions as compared with representative foreign competitors;
Whereas the Royal Decree authorizing the registration of vessels and companies operating in cabotage trade in the Special Canaries Register has been approved on 11 June 1993 and will come into force on 1 July 1993, giving rise initially to a considerable labour adjustment and associated expenditure in view of new manning rules;
Whereas additional legislation on manning scales and increased flexibility in the nationality requirements for manning (introduced by the Law on Ports and Merchant Marine of 25 November 1992 for the Canary Islands Special Register), needs still to be implemented;
Whereas the fiscal and social security advantages for the shipowners and vessels registered in the Canaray Islands Special Register will not be introduced until the Law on the Economic and Fiscal Regime for the Canary Islands is adopted;
Whereas the Canary Islands Special Register, when fully implemented, is expected to considerably reduce operating costs of vessels registered in it;
Whereas, therefore, registration in the Canary Islands Special Register will only bring part of the expected advantages to the Spanish shipowners in the short term, i.e. within the six months which could still be granted at the most under the safeguard mechanism of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92;
Whereas the study has demonstrated that, nevertheless, for five, out of the eight cabotage sectors (supply services, transport of cement or clinker in bulk by specialized cement carriers, transport of reefer cargo, roll-on, roll-off transport services and transport of general cargo in containers), no serious disturbance is to be expected from the immediate liberalization as from the expiry of the temporary exclusion on 17 August 1993;
Whereas the study also demonstrated that for the remaining three cabotage sectors: namely, transport of break-bulk general cargo, transport of dry bulk cargo (except for the transport of cement or clinker in bulk by specialized cement carriers) and transport of chemical products in specialized tankers, a serious disturbance may result from the immediate liberalization, inter alia because of the geographical position of Spain as a gateway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and as an attractive market for consecutive cabotage which could be carried out at marginal freight rates by other Community operators;
Whereas the evidence available to the Commission indicates that there has been a decline in the demand for mainland cabotage services in Spain in two of the three abovementioned sectors and, in particular, that this decline has been of 37,6 % in the sectors of break-bulk general cargo and of dry bulk cargo between 1985 and 1989 whilst there has been a very slight increase in demand of 3,7 % in the same period for the chemical products sector;
Whereas the combination of lower demand and lower freight rates offered by other Community shipowners entering the Spanish market will cause an excess of supply over demand in these sectors;
Whereas, in particular, shipowners in the three abovementioned sectors, representing 50 % of the total number of Spanish shipowners engaged in mainland cabotage would suffer as a result of immediate liberalization;
Whereas this percentage constitutes a significant number of shipowners engaged in mainland cabotage;
Whereas the financial position of these shipowners demonstrates their dependency on mainland cabotage services and that their profit margins have declined over the years;
Whereas immediate liberalization of the three abovementioned sectors will endanger the financial stability of these shipowners and such liberalization will cause many of them to disappear from these markets;
Whereas it is expected that the competitive position of Spanish shipowners in the three sectors concerned will improve once the registration in the Special Canary Islands Register yields the advantages it is intended to produce;
Whereas transport of goods from a port in another Member State or in a third country to a continental port in Spain where they are transhipped on a vessel of the same company to be carried on to the other mainland ports in Spain or vice versa (feeder services) should, however, not benefit from any such derogation, in order not to hinder an optimal operation of deep sea services by Community carriers between Spain and other countries, and should be completely free for other Member States' shipowners as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92;
Whereas in the event that no Spanish vessel is available to carry out mainland cabotage services no serious disturbance can derive from the possibility for other Member States' vessels to carry out such services,
The following maritime transport services carried out in mainland Spain shall be exempted from the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 for a period of six months as from 17 August 1993: transport of break-bulk general cargo, transport of dry bulk cargo (except for the transport of cement or clinker in specialized cement carriers) and transport of chemical products in specialized tankers.
The remaining mainland cabotage trades, with the exception of those foreseen in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 which are subject to special derogations, shall be liberalized as from 17 August 1993.
The exclusion contained in Article 1 shall not apply to feeder services.
In the event that no Spanish vessel is available at a given moment to meet the demand for mainland cabotage transport services, the Spanish authorities will allow other Member States' vessels to offer such services.

(notified under document C(2014) 633)

(2014/78/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11(2) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Danish authorities notified to the Commission and to the other Member States a measure relating to machinery of the Avant 600 series manufactured by Avant Tecno Oy, Ylötie 1, FIN-33470 Ylöjärvi, Finland. The machinery bore the CE marking and was accompanied by an EC Declaration of conformity according to Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery, Directive 2004/108/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) on electromagnetic compatibility and Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) on noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors.
(2) Machinery of the Avant 600 series is multi-purpose earthmoving machinery that can be fitted with a wide range of attachments in order to carry out many different functions during activities such as forestry, farming, landscaping, ground care, property maintenance, material handling, digging and construction.
(3) The Danish measure was motivated by the non-conformity of the machinery with the essential health and safety requirement set out in Section 3.4.4 of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, which requires that where, in the case of self-propelled machinery with a ride-on operator, there is a risk due to falling objects or material, the machinery must be designed and constructed in such a way as to take account of this risk and fitted, if its size allows, with an appropriate protective structure.
(4) The Danish authorities indicated that, while several of the intended functions of the machinery exposed the ride-on operator to risks due to falling objects or material, the machinery had been placed on the market without a falling object protective structure (FOPS). The Danish authorities asked the manufacturer to take corrective measures. Since this request was not met, the Danish authorities prohibited the placing on the market of machinery of the Avant 600 series without a FOPS and ordered the manufacturer to take corrective action with respect to machines already placed on the market.
(5) The Commission wrote to the manufacturer inviting him to communicate his observations on the measure taken by Denmark. In his reply, the manufacturer indicated the Avant 600 series was equipped with a cab tested by the Notified Body MTT-Vakola No 0504. The cab was always fitted with a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) and could be fitted with a FOPS as an option. When the machinery was sold for use in agriculture, property maintenance, landscaping or for use in stables, for example, where there was no risk of falling objects, no FOPS was fitted. On the other hand, when the machinery was sold for applications where there was a risk of falling objects, such as for example, use in mines, it was always fitted with a FOPS. The manufacturer also stated that he had decided to clarify the instruction manual and sales literature in order to specify in which situations a cab fitted with a FOPS must be used.
(6) Section 1.1.2(a) of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC requires machinery to be designed and constructed so that it is fitted for its function and can be operated, adjusted and maintained without putting persons at risk when these operations are carried out under the conditions foreseen but also taking into account any reasonable foreseeable misuse thereof. The aim of measures taken must be to eliminate any risk throughout the foreseeable lifetime of the machinery including the phases of transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping. The measures must be taken according to the principles of safety integration set out in Section 1.1.2(b) of Annex I which give priority to integrated protective measures over information for users.
(7) In the case of multi-purpose earthmoving machinery such as the Avant 600 series, even if a particular machine is initially supplied for functions or for use in environments not involving a risk due to falling objects or material, it is possible to be used during its foreseeable lifetime for other intended functions or in environments that expose operators to that risk. Consequently, the risk due to falling objects or material must be taken into account in the design and construction of the machine.
(8) Examination of the evidence provided by the Danish authorities and of the observations communicated by the manufacturer confirms that machinery of the Avant 600 series without a FOPS does not comply with the essential health and safety requirement set out in Section 3.4.4 of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC and that this non-conformity gives rise to a serious risk of injury to ride-on operators due to falling objects or material,
The measure taken by the Danish authorities prohibiting the placing on the market of machinery of the Avant 600 series not fitted with a falling object protective structure (FOPS) and requiring the manufacturer to take corrective action with respect to machines already placed on the market is justified.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the sugar sector(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1509/2001(3), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2001 of 26 September 2001 laying down transitional measures in connection with the compensation system for storage costs for sugar(4), lays down that Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1527/2000(6), will continue to apply to sugars carried forward from the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year.
(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for October 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for October 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.

amending Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid originating in the People's Republic of China following a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
Whereas:
A. MEASURES IN FORCE
(1) In October 2005, the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping measures on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid (‘TCCA’), originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’) by Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005 (2) (‘the original Regulation’). The anti-dumping duty rates ranged from 7,3 % to 42,6 %.
(2) By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 855/2010 (3), the Council amended the original Regulation by lowering the anti-dumping duty rate for one exporting producer to 3,2 %.
(3) Following an expiry review, pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping measures consisting of individual duties ranging from 3,2 % to 40,5 % with a residual duty of 42,6 % on imports of TCCA originating in the PRC by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 (4).
B. CURRENT PROCEDURE
1. Request for a review
(4) On 3 May 2013, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) received a request to initiate a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by Liaocheng City Zhonglian Industry Co. Ltd (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer in PRC.
(5) The applicant claimed that it did not export the TCCA to the Union during the original period of investigation, i.e. the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004 (‘the original investigation period’).
(6) Furthermore, the applicant claimed that it was not related to any of the exporting producers of TCCA which are subject to the abovementioned anti-dumping measures.
(7) The applicant further claimed that it had begun exporting TCCA to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.
2. Initiation of a new exporter review
(8) The Commission examined the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Union industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated by Regulation (EU) No 809/2013 (5), a review of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 with regard to the applicant.
(9) Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 809/2013, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 was repealed with regard to imports of TCCA produced and sold for export to the Union by the applicant. Simultaneously, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities were directed to take appropriate steps to register such imports.
3. Product concerned
(10) The product concerned by the current review is the same as that described in the original Regulation, trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), currently falling within CN codes ex 2933 69 80 and ex 3808 94 20 and originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the product concerned’ or ‘TCCA’).
(11) TCCA is a chemical product used as a broad spectrum organic chlorine disinfectant and bleacher, in particular used for disinfecting water in swimming pools. It is sold in the form of powder, granules, tablets or chips. All forms of TCCA and preparations thereof share the same basic characteristics (chemical composition) and properties (disinfectant), are all intended for similar use and are therefore considered as a single product.
4. Parties concerned
(12) The Commission officially advised the applicant, the Union industry as well as the representatives of the exporting country, of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard.
(13) In order to obtain the information deemed necessary for this investigation, the Commission sent a market economy treatment (MET) claim form and a questionnaire to the applicant and received replies within the deadlines set for that purpose. The Commission sought to verify all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of the new exporter status and the dumping margin. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant in the PRC.
5. Investigation period
(14) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 August 2012 until 31 July 2013 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. ‘New exporter’ qualification
(15) The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period and that it had started to export it to the Union after that period.
(16) As concerns the other conditions for the recognition of a ‘new exporter’ status, the applicant was able to demonstrate that it did not have any links, direct or indirect, with any of the Chinese exporting producers subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
(17) Accordingly, it is confirmed that the applicant should be considered a ‘new exporter’ in accordance with Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation and thus an individual margin should be determined for it.
2. Dumping
Market economy treatment (MET)
(18) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of Article 2 of the basic Regulation for those exporting producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, i.e. where it is shown that market economic conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product.
(19) These criteria are set out in summarised form below:
— business decisions are made in response to market signals without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values,
— firms have one clear set of independently audited accounting records in line with international accounting standards (IAS) and applied for all purposes,
— no significant distortions are carried over from the former non-market economy system,
— bankruptcy and property laws guarantee stability and legal certainty,
— exchange rate conversions are carried out at market rates.
(20) The investigation established that the applicant's accounting records were not in line with international accounting standards and that, therefore, the company's accounting practice does not fulfil the requirements of the second criterion. In particular, the applicant failed to report in its accounts the implementation of an incentive scheme for management staff in line with international accounting standards.
(21) As a consequence, the balance sheet did not faithfully represent the financial position of the company and the profit and loss account and cash flow statement were burdened by financial costs for which there was no justification.
(22) Based on these considerations, the applicant could not be granted MET.
(23) The applicant and other interested parties were given an opportunity to comment on the above findings.
(24) The applicant pointed out that the incentive scheme should be booked in 2013, that it has no connection with the balance sheet of 2012 and that in 2012 the nature of the scheme was not yet determined. According to the applicant, such determination would be made in accordance with recommendations to be made by the auditors at the moment of the auditing exercise of the financial accounts for 2013 and could take the form of remuneration, interest on loan or quasi-contribution.
(25) The scheme was contractually concluded upon between the company and the management in 2012. However, there was no indication of it in the audited accounts of 2012, not even in the notes to the financial accounts. No accounting entry, identifying the incentive scheme, was made during the financial year 2013 up to the time of the investigation (November 2013) either.
(26) This absence of reporting in the accounts is serious. Indeed, the total liabilities reported in the trial balance at the end of the IP, 31 July 2013, were significantly underreported since the total loan amount pledged by managers would have increased the figure of the liabilities by 14 %. Moreover, the profit and loss account of 2013 will contain financial costs for which there is no legal basis, since no incoming cash flow corresponding to the incentive scheme occurred and interests were nevertheless effectively paid in 2013. As a consequence, the 2013 financial costs will be 9 times higher than the costs reported for 2012. Therefore, the financial information contained in the accounts did not provide for a reliable and faithful representation of the financial position of the company.
(27) It should also be noted that the nature of the scheme and the accounting thereof cannot depend on auditing qualification and that the booking thereof should be correctly made in a timely manner and not retrospectively. Therefore, a failure to report with accuracy the financial position and flows related to the scheme, cannot be considered to be in line with international accounting standards.
(28) In reaction to the disclosure of the Commission's findings, the applicant reiterated its request for MET, without however bringing any new argument. The findings on the MET determination are therefore confirmed.
Normal value
(29) According to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, for non-market economy countries and, to the extent that MET could not be granted, for countries in transition, normal value has to be established on the basis of the price or constructed value in an analogue country.
(30) As announced in the Regulation (EU) No 809/2013, the Commission envisaged using Japan as an analogue country for the purpose of establishing normal value for the applicant in the event that it was not granted market economy treatment and as it was done in the investigation which led to the imposition of measures by the original Regulation.
(31) Interested parties were invited to comment on the appropriateness of Japan as an analogue country and did not submit any comments. The Commission also contacted producers in the United States of America, but did not obtain any cooperation. Consequently, Japan is considered to be an appropriate analogue country. One producer in Japan agreed to cooperate and submitted the requested information.
(32) In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the Japanese producer's domestic sales of TCCA to independent customers were representative. In this respect, it was found that the total volume of such sales was equal to at least 5 % of the total volume of applicant's export sales to the Union.
(33) The Commission subsequently examined whether there were types of TCCA sold domestically by the Japanese cooperating producer that were sufficiently comparable to the types sold by the applicant for export to the Union. The Commission identified the types of TCCA found to be identical or directly comparable to the type sold for export to the Union by the applicant. It was also established that these types were sold at profitable levels and in the ordinary course of trade by the Japanese company and that the domestic sales prices could be considered for the determination of the normal value.
(34) Therefore, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, calculated as a weighted average, of the product types of TCCA deemed comparable.
Export price
(35) As the product concerned was exported directly to independent customers in the Union, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic regulation, i.e. on the basis of the export prices actually paid or payable for the product when sold for export to the Union.
Comparison
(36) The normal value and export prices were compared on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, account was taken, in accordance with article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences which affected price comparability. For this purpose, transport costs and packaging expenses were removed from both the Chinese export prices and the Japanese cooperating producer's domestic sales prices.
Dumping margin
(37) As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of a weighted average normal value by type with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison showed the existence of dumping.
(38) The dumping margin for the applicant, expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Union-frontier price was found to be 32,8 %.
D. AMENDMENT OF MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(39) In view of the findings of the investigation and in accordance with the lesser duty rule, it is concluded that a definitive anti-dumping measure should be imposed for the applicant at the level of the dumping margin found, which in this case is lower than the injury margin in the original case.
E. REGISTRATION
(40) In the light of the above findings, the anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant shall be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 809/2013.
F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES
(41) The parties concerned were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to impose on imports of TCCA from the applicant an amended definitive anti-dumping duty and to levy this duty retroactively on imports made subject to the registration. Comments were received from the applicant, however, as explained above, they were not of a nature to change the above conclusions.
(42) This review does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 will expire.
G. OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE
(43) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,
1. In Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 the following row shall be inserted into the table:
