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 Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported into Spain was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 9/2002(3).
(2) Pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(5), the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 29 April 2013
amending Decision 2010/221/EU as regards the approval of national measures for preventing the introduction of ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar) into certain areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/221/EU of 15 April 2010 approving national measures for limiting the impact of certain diseases in aquaculture animals and wild aquatic animals in accordance with Article 43 of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (2) allows certain Member States to apply restrictions on consignments of aquatic animals that are placed on the market or imported, in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases into their territory.
(2) Member States can apply such restrictions provided that they have either demonstrated that their territory, or certain demarcated areas of their territory, are free of such diseases or that they have established an eradication programme to obtain such freedom.
(3) The restrictions related to ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar) provided for in Decision 2010/221/EU are intended to apply only until 30 April 2013. OsHV-1 μνar is an emerging disease with many uncertainties and the surveillance programmes approved by this Decision have not yet been fully evaluated. Therefore, the period of time that Member States can put in place specific restrictions related to this disease should be prolonged for another year.
(4) Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 3a(2) of Decision 2010/221/EU, the date ‘30 April 2013’ is replaced by ‘30 April 2014’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 May 2013.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Danish Government submitted to the Commission on 11 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the regions of Denmark fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and those qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the regions of Denmark eligible under Objective 2 and in those regions qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the periods 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 respectively is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex-ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Denmark;
The priorities are as follows:
1. development of the region, with particular emphasis on infrastructure;
2. development of businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones;
3. development of skills, development of human resources;
4. technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex-ante verification of the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 617017949 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 189000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 205574356 from the public sector and EUR 222443593 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 189000000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

of 12 November 1990
determining the names to be borne by the varieties derived from the varieties of vegetable species listed in Decision 89/7/EEC
(90/639/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Annex to Commission Decision 89/7/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 89/138/EEC (4), contains a list of officially accepted varieties of vegetable species;
Whereas, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 10 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC, official measures organized on a Community basis have been taken and have led to the identification of a number of varieties which are derived from officially accepted varieties;
Whereas, taking into account the denominations used in the common catalogue of varieties of vegetables species - 15th complete edition (5) - (together with the first (6), second (7), third (8) and fourth (9) supplements thereto) it is desirable to
determine the names to be borne by the said varieties derived from officially accepted varieties;
Whereas the official measures organized on a Community basis have shown that some of the varieties or varieties derived therefrom, listed in the Annex to the said Decision, cannot be considered as distinct from certain other varieties officially accepted in the Member States;
Whereas it is desirabel also to determine the effect of these Community findings on the names of such varieties;
Whereas for the entry relating to the variety Negerkop which appears in the Annex hereto, further names instead of certain other names which have been in use in the past may be determined;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are
in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In view of the possible renewal of the acceptance beyond 30 June 1990 of the varieties derived from the varieties of vegetable species listed in the Annex to Decision 89/7/EEC, Member States of acceptance shall ensure that such varieties bear one or more of the names listed in column 3 of the Annex hereto, as appropriate.

of 22 July 2013
on transitional measures for the application of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the accreditation of official laboratories carrying out official testing for Trichinella and amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of 63(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 provides for significant changes to the rules and procedures for official controls. It applies from 1 January 2006. However, the application of a number of those rules and procedures with immediate effect from that date would have presented practical difficulties in certain cases.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 requires laboratories carrying out an analysis of samples taken during official controls to be accredited in accordance with certain European standards referred to therein. However, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down transitional measures for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down certain transitional measures, including a derogation from that requirement for laboratories in order to permit a smooth transition to the full implementation of the new rules and procedures. Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 applies until 31 December 2013.
(3) The Report of 28 July 2009 from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the experience gained from the application of the hygiene Regulations (EC) No 852/2004, (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 (3)‘aims at presenting factually the experience gained, including the difficulties encountered, in 2006, 2007 and 2008 from the implementation of the hygiene package by all interested actors’ (‘the report’).
(4) The report includes experiences on the transitional measures, including those provided for in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. The report indicates that difficulties still exist in relation to the accreditation of in-house slaughterhouse laboratories.
(5) Those difficulties need to be addressed by a review of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. Accordingly, an impact assessment, accompanying such a review was launched immediately after the publication of the report.
(6) On 6 May 2013, the Commission adopted a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on official control and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health, plant reproductive material, plant protection products (4). That proposal provides for the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and provides for a possible derogation on accreditation of official laboratories whose sole activity is the detection of Trichinella in meat.
(7) In addition, experience has shown that laboratories carrying out official testing for Trichinella and located in slaughterhouses or game handling establishments require additional time to obtain full accreditation, since accreditation is a complex and laborious process. Accordingly, this Regulation should provide for further transitional measures pending the adoption of that new Regulation by the European Parliament and by the Council.
(8) Provision should therefore be made for a further transitional period during which the transitional measures currently laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 should continue to apply. In the interest of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
This Regulation lays down transitional measures for the application of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 for a transitional period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2016.
By way of derogation from Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, the competent authority may designate a laboratory carrying out official testing for Trichinella and located in a slaughterhouse or a game handling establishment provided that, although not accredited in accordance with the European standards referred to in point (a) of that paragraph, the laboratory:
(a) demonstrates that it has initiated and is pursuing the necessary accreditation procedures in accordance with Article 12(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004;
(b) provides the competent authority with satisfactory guarantees that quality control schemes for the analyses of samples it conducts for the purpose of official controls are in place.
Member States applying this transitional measure shall report to the Commission on the progress in accrediting any such designated laboratories by the 31 December each year.
Chapter IV of Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2016.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 597/2007
of 31 May 2007
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) 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 each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) 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.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 2007.

>TABLE>
-each type of tower crane with an operator's position fixed to the structure of the tower crane, for which the sound pressure level of airborne noise, in dB(A), measured at the operator's position under the conditions set out in Annex II to Council Directive 79/113/EEC, as supplemented by Annex Ia to this Directive, does not exceed the permissible level given in the following table:
>TABLE>
3.Article 3 (7) is replaced by the following:
'7. Each tower crane built in accordance with the type certified by EEC type-examination shall bear a clear and permanent mark indicating the sound power level in dB(A) referenced to 1pW and, in the case of a type of tower crane with an operator's position fixed to the structure of the tower crane, the sound pressure level in dB (A) referenced to 20 ìPa, both as guaranteed by the manufacturer and determined as laid down in Annexes I and II to Directive 79/113/EEC, as last amended by Directive 85/405/EEC and supplemented by Annexes I and IIa to this directive, together with the symbol aa (epsilon). The models for these marks are given in Annex III to this Directive.' 4.Article 7 is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2014/84/EU
of 30 June 2014
amending Appendix A of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of toys, as regards nickel
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the safety of toys (1), and in particular Article 46(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/48/EC establishes general requirements for substances which are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). CMR substances category 2 may not be used in toys, in components of toys or in micro-structurally distinct parts of toys, except if those substances are contained in individual concentrations equal to or smaller than the relevant concentrations established for the classification of mixtures containing them as CMRs, they are inaccessible to children or their use has been permitted. The Commission may permit the use of CMR substances category 2 in toys if the use of the substance has been evaluated by the Scientific Committee and found to be safe, in particular in view of exposure, and the substance is not prohibited for use in consumer articles under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Appendix A of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC contains the list of CMR substances and their permitted uses.
(2) Nickel (CAS No 7440-02-0) is a typical metal. Its main primary uses are in the production of nickel-containing alloys (including stainless steel), in nickel plating, in the production of nickel-containing products such as batteries and welding electrodes, and in the production of chemicals containing nickel. Nickel is also used in toys for its resistance to corrosion and its high electrical conductivity, for example in model railway tracks and for battery contacts.
(3) Nickel is classified under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as carcinogenic category 2. In the absence of any specific requirements, nickel can be contained in toys in concentrations equal to or smaller than the relevant concentration established for the classification of mixtures containing it as CMRs, namely 1 %.
(4) Nickel was comprehensively evaluated under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 (4). The 2008 European Union Risk Assessment Report (EU RAR) (5) concluded that, with regard to the occupational assessment regarding carcinogenicity, there was a need for further studies to evaluate the inhalation carcinogenicity of nickel. The 2009 Addendum (6) to the EU RAR, prepared for the purpose of the transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, concluded that no further measures at Union level were required, as the results from the two-year carcinogenicity study with inhalation exposure of rats to metallic nickel did not point towards a revision of the existing carcinogenicity classification.
(5) Appendix A of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC already permits the use of nickel in stainless steel in toys, as nickel in stainless steel has proven to be safe regarding its carcinogenic properties.
(6) To assess the risk to health from the presence of metallic nickel in electric toys (plating, coating and alloys enabling electrical conductivity), the Commission asked the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) for an opinion. SCHER notes in its opinion ‘Assessment of the Health Risks from the Use of Metallic Nickel (CAS No 7440-02-0) in Toys’, adopted on 25 September 2012, that a tumour risk due to nickel exposure when handling toys is not present since inhalation of metallic nickel from toys is extremely unlikely. SCHER further concludes that the use of nickel in parts of toys allowing the correct electric function of toys will result in a very low potential for exposure to nickel by oral and dermal intake, due to the restrictions on nickel release applicable to metal-containing parts in toys, the limited accessibility of the metal-containing parts and the small surface area of the nickel-containing parts allowing the correct function of electric toys. Thus, health risks are not expected by SCHER.
(7) In accordance with point 5(c)(ii) of Part III of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC, the use of CMR substances category 2 cannot be permitted if the substance is prohibited for use in consumer articles under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Entry 27 of Annex XVII to that Regulation only restricts the use of nickel in post assemblies which are inserted into pierced ears and other pierced parts of the human body, in articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin and in articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin where those have a non-nickel coating. The restrictions of entry 27 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 do not amount to a full ban for use in all consumer articles under that Regulation. This Directive should not affect the application of entry 27 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 to toys which are articles intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin.
(8) Directive 2009/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in Article 47 of Directive 2009/48/EC,
Appendix A of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC is replaced by the following:

| Council Decision
of 10 December 2002
amending Decision 89/688/EEC concerning the dock dues in the French overseas departments
(2002/973/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 299(2),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Council Decision 89/688/EEC of 22 December 1989 concerning the dock dues in the French overseas departments(2) states that in the light of the special constraints on the French overseas departments partial or total exemptions from the charge may be authorised for local production activities for a period of not more than 10 years from the date of introduction of the system of charges. This period expires on 31 December 2002 having been introduced on 1 January 1993 under the French Law of 17 July 1992.
(2) Article 3 of the Decision requires the Commission to submit a report on the implementation of the arrangements in order to ascertain the impact of the measures taken and whether exemptions should be maintained. In the report it presented to the Council on 24 November 1999, the Commission concludes that the four French overseas departments are in a much more fragile economic and social situation than the rest of the Community because of their outlying geographical position and underlines the importance of the dock dues and exemptions from this charge for local production for these regions' social and economic development.
(3) According to the Commission report of 14 March 2000 on measures to implement Article 299(2) of the Treaty, that Article must be implemented in partnership with the Member States concerned on the basis of detailed requests from them.
(4) On 12 March 2002 France sent a detailed request to the Commission to extend exemptions from dock dues for a period of 10 years.
(5) The Commission has examined this request and considers that further details of the content of the exemptions which will apply when the current arrangements come to an end are required. Additional information must be provided by the French authorities and evaluated by the Commission before long-term arrangements can be drawn up.
(6) However these developments should not prejudice the necessary continuity in the special tax arrangements for the overseas departments.
(7) It may be generally stated that there is still a serious structural deficit in the French overseas departments' development. The factors and phenomena exacerbating this situation and their combined effect have a serious impact on these departments' economic and social development. This is demonstrated by average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) levels which are still less than 50 % of the Community average and sustained rates of unemployment in a population that is largely very young which are among the highest in the Community. These indicators confirm that the continuing existence of these handicaps recognised by Article 299(2) of the Treaty is a serious obstacle to their development and justifies maintenance of measures to help offset these handicaps.
(8) To offset the handicaps of these regions, it is required in particular that local production be maintained and developed. The remoteness and isolation of these regions from external suppliers and markets increases costs for local producers. The weakness of the economy is also exacerbated by the very small size of markets and businesses and the lack of diversification in production. Output is less than the average output in other French departments because of difficulties linked to industrial equipment and labour skills. These departments' regional environment is another factor in the lack of business competitiveness owing to their geographical position in developing regions. They are poor but highly competitive in terms of production costs and relatively closed to imports.
(9) Exemptions from dock dues are part of support measures for local production and should therefore be continued.
(10) For the reasons set out above Decision 89/688/EEC should be extended for a short period.
(11) This Decision is without prejudice to the possible application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty,
The expression "for a period of not more than 10 years" in Article 2(3) of Decision 89/688/EEC shall be replaced by "for a period not exceeding 11 years".
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2003.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 142 (c) and (r) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides for the possibility of Member States not applying Article 68(1)(c) of that Regulation to use the national reserve under certain conditions. When applying that Article, Member States may increase the unit value and/or the number of payment entitlements allocated to farmers. According to Article 15(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 (2) applications for allocation or increase of payment entitlements under the single payment scheme for the purpose of Article 41 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 have to be submitted by a date to be fixed by the Member States. This date has not to be later than 15 May or, in the case of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland and Sweden, not later than 15 June.
(2) According to Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 the farmer applying for aid under any of the area-related aid schemes may only submit one single application per year.
(3) According to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 the single application has to be submitted by a date to be fixed by the Member States which has not to be later than 15 May or, in the case of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland and Sweden, not later than 15 June.
(4) As a result of a continuous increase of feed prices due to adverse climatic conditions affecting some of the most important suppliers of grains, several Member States are facing an aggravation of the economic situation of agricultural holdings which, at the end of the year 2012, are encountering severe financial difficulties. Considering that the aggravation of the economic situation of the agricultural holdings could also have long-term and broader consequences, it should be allowed for the Member States to apply, for the year 2012, Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(5) Since the deadline for allocation, or increase of the unit value, of payment entitlements from the national reserve under Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 for the year 2012 has already expired, it is appropriate to allow those Member States who wish to apply Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the year 2012 to set a new deadline for lodging an application for the allocation, or increase of the unit value, of payment entitlements from the national reserve.
(6) Furthermore, it is appropriate to derogate for farmers in these Member States from the requirement under Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 to submit one single application per year.
(7) In addition, a derogation from the deadline under Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 is necessary in respect of those farmers who wish to benefit from Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(8) According to Article 12(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, in the first year of the single payment scheme or of the year of integration of new sectors into the single payment scheme, Member States may derogate from Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 concerning payment entitlements if those are not yet definitively established at the latest date fixed for the submission of the single application. It is necessary to provide for a similar derogation concerning payment entitlements which will be allocated, or increased in their unit value, on the basis of Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 where such allocation or increase are not yet definitively established.
(9) According to Article 8(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 (3) payment entitlements may only be declared for payment once per year by the farmer who holds them at the latest date for lodging the single application. It is appropriate to derogate from this requirement.
(10) According to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, parcels corresponding to the eligible hectares, which are declared for accompanying any payment entitlement, have to be at the farmer’s disposal on a date fixed by the Member State. This date has not to be later than the date fixed in that Member State for amending the aid application.
(11) As regards the payment entitlements that will be allocated, or the unit value of which will be increased, following the application of Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, it is necessary to derogate from the farmers’ obligation in respect of the date laid down in Article 35(1) of that Regulation.
(12) Pursuant to Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, payments under support schemes listed in Annex I to that Regulation have not to be made before the verification of eligibility conditions, to be carried out by the Member State according to Article 20 of that Regulation, has been finalised.
(13) The eligibility conditions to be verified by the Member States, which are related to the allocation, or increase of the unit value of payment entitlements under Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 on the basis of one or several of the derogations set out in this Regulation, may differ from the eligibility conditions for the support currently implemented under the Single Payment Scheme. In that case, the verification of the new eligibility conditions would, pursuant to Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, hinder payments for support schemes not related to the application of Article 41(3) of that Regulation to be made before these new eligibility conditions have been verified. In order to avoid such a situation, a derogation from Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 related to the allocation, or increase of the unit value, of payment entitlements under Article 41(3) of that Regulation is necessary.
(14) Furthermore, according to Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 payments have to be made within the period from 1 December to 30 June of the following calendar year. By derogation from this provision, the Commission may provide for advances before 1 December. Such a derogation is granted in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 776/2012 (4), according to which Member States may pay, from 16 October 2012, advances up to a certain limit of direct payments in respect of applications made in 2012. The derogation from Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be granted retroactively, from 16 October 2012 in order to allow payment, subject to finalisation of the verification of the eligibility conditions, for those support schemes which are not related to the application of Article 41(3) of that Regulation.
(15) The derogations provided for in this Regulation relate to the calendar year 2012. Therefore, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

3. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, for the year 2012, Member States may authorise farmers, who pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article submitted an application for allocation, or increase of the unit value, of payment entitlements and who have not submitted the single application referred to in the second paragraph of this Article, to submit a single application for aid under Article 41(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 before 31 January 2013 at the latest.

2. By way of derogation from Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, payments under support schemes listed in Annex I thereto, other than the support referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, may be made for the calendar year 2012 irrespective of finalising the verification of the eligibility conditions applicable to the support referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.
3. By way of derogation from Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the parcels corresponding to the eligible hectares accompanying any payment entitlements newly allocated, or whose unit value has been increased, in accordance with Article 41(3) of that Regulation on the basis of one or several of the derogations set out in Articles 1 and 2 of this Regulation, shall be at the relevant farmers’ disposal on 31 January 2013.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas under Article 14 (2) (a) of Council Directive 72/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (3), as last amended by Council Directive 77/390/EEC (4), Member States may, during a period of five years from the time when the said Directive takes effect, grant temporary aids to farmers who are not capable of attaining the level of earned income laid down under Article 4 of that Directive and who are not yet eligible for the annuities provided for in Article 2 (1) of Council Directive 72/160/EEC of 17 April 1972 concerning measures to encourage the cessation of farming and the reallocation of utilized agricultural area for the purposes of structural improvement (5);
Whereas, pending the re-examination of Directive 72/159/EEC provided for in Article 16 of the said Directive, the period of application of this measure was extended until 31 December 1977 by Directive 77/390/EEC;
Whereas, since this re-examination is still in progress, it would seem appropriate to extend the period laid down in Article 14 (2) (a) of Directive 72/159/EEC until 31 December 1979 as regards the measures provided for under that Article in force in the Member States on 15 March 1977;
Whereas the provision in the development plan for the farm to concentrate on the production of beef, veal, mutton or lamb may require differing efforts ; whereas the amounts fixed by Council Directive 73/131/EEC of 15 May 1973 on the guidance premium provided for in Article 10 of the Directive of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (6) should be changed into ceiling amounts,
The period laid down in Article 14 (2) (a) of Directive 72/159/EEC shall be extended until 31 December 1979 as regards the measures provided for under that Article in force in the Member States on 15 March 1977.
The second paragraph of Article 1 of Directive 73/131/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"The maximum amount of this premium shall be: - 48 units of account per hectare within a ceiling of 4 800 units of account per farm in the first year,
- 32 75 units of account per hectare within a ceiling of 3 250 units of account per farm in the second year,
- 16 75 units of account per hectare within a ceiling of 1 650 units of account per farm in the third year."
Article 1 shall take effect as from 1 January 1978.

of 13 August 2003
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of long-grain B rice from the 1999 harvest held by the Spanish intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91(3) provides, among other things, that paddy rice held by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Spain still has intervention stocks of long-grain paddy rice B from the 1999 harvest whose quality is in danger of deteriorating as a result of prolonged storage.
(3) In the present production situation where concessions for rice imports are being granted under international agreements and restrictions are being applied to subsidised exports, disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the Community would inevitably result in an equivalent quantity being placed in intervention, which must be avoided.
(4) This rice can be disposed of by processing it into broken rice or into a form suitable for use in animal feed, on certain conditions.
(5) In order to ensure that the rice really is processed, the procedure should be specially monitored and the successful tenderer should provide a security, to be released on conditions to be laid down.
(6) The undertakings given by tenderers must be regarded as primary requirements within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(5).
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(7), lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use of products from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal feed.
(8) So that the quantities awarded can be managed accurately, an allocation coefficient should be fixed for tenders offering the minimum selling price, while allowing tenderers to specify a minimum quantity awarded below which they do not wish their tender to stand.
(9) When the Spanish intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.
(10) While respecting the tenderers' anonymity, they should be identified by numbers so that it is evident which have submitted several tenders and what prices they have offered.
(11) For control purposes, tenders must be traceable by their reference numbers, while safeguarding anonymity.
(12) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.

3. The Spanish intervention agency shall take all additional steps necessary to enable the parties concerned to assess the quality of the rice put up for sale before submitting their tenders.
1. Tenders shall indicate whether they relate to processing into broken rice or into a form suitable for animal feed.
Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) evidence that the tenderer has lodged a security of EUR 15 per tonne;
(b) evidence that the tenderer is an animal feed manufacturer or a rice mill;
(c) a written undertaking by the tenderer to lodge a security for an amount equivalent to the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice applicable on the tender date plus EUR 15 and the price tendered per tonne of rice not later than two working days after the date of receipt of the notice of award of contract.
2. Once submitted, a tender may not be altered or withdrawn.
3. In case the Commission is required to fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered for sale as provided for in Article 7(2), tenderers should indicate any minimum awarded quantity below which they do not wish their tender to stand.

2. For each type of processing and for each partial tendering procedure, the tenderers shall be assigned an individual number, starting at 1, by the Spanish intervention agency.
To ensure anonymity, the numbers shall be allocated randomly and separately for each type of processing and each partial tendering procedure.
The reference numbers of each tender shall be given by the Spanish intervention agency in such a way as to ensure that the tenderers remain anonymous. For the entire standing tendering procedure, each tender shall be identified by its own reference number.
3. The notification referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made by electronic mail to the address given in Annex V using the form provided to the Spanish intervention agency by the Commission for that purpose.
The notification must be made even if no tenders are submitted, in which case it must state that no tenders have been received within the deadline laid down.
4. The Spanish intervention agency shall also notify the Commission of the information as specified in Annex V for rejected tenders, stating why they were rejected.
For each type of processing, the Commission shall set the minimum sale price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.
Where tenders are offering the minimum sale price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum sale price.
This Decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95.
The intervention agency shall immediately notify all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.
Within three working days of the notification referred to in the first paragraph, it shall send notices of award of contract to successful tenderers by registered letter or written telecommunication.
Successful tenderers shall pay for the rice before it is removed, and at the latest within one month of the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in the second paragraph of Article 8. The risks and costs of storing rice which is not removed within the payment period shall be borne by the successful tenderers.
Following the expiry of the payment period, rice for which a contract is awarded and which is not removed shall be regarded for all purposes as having been removed from storage.
Where a successful tenderer fails to pay for the rice within the period referred to in the first paragraph, the contract shall be terminated by the intervention agency, where appropriate in respect of the quantity not paid for.

DIRECTIVE 2011/72/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 14 September 2011
amending Directive 2000/25/EC as regards the provisions for tractors placed on the market under the flexibility scheme
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2000 on action to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants by engines intended to power agricultural or forestry tractors (3) regulates exhaust emissions from engines installed in agricultural and forestry tractors with a view to further safeguarding human health and the environment. Directive 2000/25/EC provided that the emission limits applicable in 2010 for type approval of the majority of compression ignition engines, referred to as Stage III A, were to be replaced by the more stringent Stage III B limits, entering into force progressively as from 1 January 2011 with regard to the placing on the market, and from 1 January 2010 as regards the type-approval for those engines. Stage IV, providing for emission limits more stringent than Stage III B, will enter into force progressively as of 1 January 2013 as regards the type-approval for those engines and as of 1 January 2014 with regard to the placing on the market.
(2) The transition to Stage III B involves a step change in technology requiring significant implementation costs for re-designing the engines and for developing advanced technical solutions. However, the current global financial and economic crisis or any economic downturn should not lead to a lowering of environmental standards. This revision of Directive 2000/25/EC should therefore be considered to be exceptional. Furthermore, investments in environmentally friendly technologies are important for the promotion of future growth, jobs and health security.
(3) Directive 2000/25/EC provides for a flexibility scheme to allow tractor manufacturers to purchase, during a given stage, a limited number of engines that do not comply with emission limits applicable during that stage, but which are approved in accordance with the requirements of the stage immediately preceding the applicable one.
(4) Since 2005, Directive 2000/25/EC has provided for the evaluation of the possible need for additional flexibilities in relation to Stages III B and IV emission limits. In order to provide temporary relief to the industry when moving to the next stage, it is necessary to adapt the conditions for applying the flexibility scheme.
(5) During Stage III B, the number of tractors that are placed on the market and that enter into service should, in each engine category, not exceed 40 % of the number of tractors placed on the market by the tractor manufacturer in that engine category. The alternative option of allowing a fixed number of tractors to be placed on the market and to enter into service under the flexibility scheme should be adapted accordingly.
(6) Manufacturers of tractors falling within the scope of this Directive should benefit from European financial support programmes or any relevant support programmes provided by Member States. Those support programmes may favour projects employing the best available technologies with the highest emission standards.
(7) Directive 2000/25/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive reflect a temporary difficulty faced by the industry. As such, the application of those measures should be restricted to the duration of Stage III B.
(9) Current emission limits should be made more stringent, including with respect to ultrafine black carbon particles notably by introducing particulate number limits in future legislation if this is justified by relevant impact assessments,
Amendments to Directive 2000/25/EC
Directive 2000/25/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1, the following indents are added:
‘— “flexibility scheme” means the exemption procedure by means of which a Member State permits the placing on the market and entry into service of a limited number of tractors in accordance with the requirements laid down by Article 3a,
— “engine category” means the classification of engines which combines the power range with the stage of exhaust emission limits,
— “making available on the market” means any supply of a tractor or engine for distribution or use on the Union market in the course of a commercial activity, whether in return for payment or free of charge,
— “placing on the market” means the first making available on the market of a tractor or engine,
— “entry into service” means the first use, for its intended purpose, in the Union of a tractor or engine. The date on which it is registered, if applicable, or placed on the market shall be considered the date of entry into service.’;
(2) Article 3a is replaced by the following:
(3) Annex IV is replaced by the text appearing in the Annex to this Directive.
Transposition
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 24 September 2011 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 407/2010 of 11 May 2010 establishing a European financial stabilisation mechanism (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Upon a request by Ireland, the Council granted financial assistance to it (Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU (2)) in support of a strong economic and financial reform programme aiming at restoring confidence, enabling the return of the economy to sustainable growth, and safeguarding financial stability in Ireland, the euro area and the Union.
(2) In line with Article 3(9) of Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU, the Commission, together with the International Monetary Fund and in liaison with the European Central Bank (ECB), conducted the fourth review of the Irish authorities’ progress in implementing the agreed measures as well as of the effectiveness and economic and social impact of those measures.
(3) Bank of Ireland’s remaining outstanding capital requirement has decreased from EUR 500 million to EUR 350 million due to further liability management exercises and gains from closing out of hedging contracts attached to the subordinated debt instruments.
(4) The Irish authorities have requested moving until the end of the second quarter of 2012 the deadline to prepare the legislation to strengthen the regulatory framework for the credit unions sector, to enable thorough consultation of stakeholders. In the meantime, the authorities will address the weaknesses in the most troubled credit unions while protecting deposits to ensure financial stability.
(5) The Irish authorities have requested moving until the end of the first quarter of 2012 the deadline to prepare the envisaged fiscal responsibility legislation, which will give enactment to the recent enhancements of the Stability and Growth Pact, to enable thorough discussion with stakeholders.
(6) In the light of these developments and considerations, Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU should be amended,
Article 3 of Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU is hereby amended as follows:
(1) in paragraph 7, point (g) is replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable.
(2) In accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the preparations of Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 40027, Lactobacillus buchneri DSM 22501, Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788/CNCM I-4323, Lactobacillus buchneri LN 40177/ATCC PTA-6138, and Lactobacillus buchneri LN 4637/ATCC PTA-2494 were entered in the Register of Feed Additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, applications were submitted for the authorisation of those preparations as feed additives for all animal species, requesting those additives to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinions of 12 March 2013 (2) and 16 April 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparations concerned do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 40027 has the potential to improve the production of silage by increasing lactic acid content and the preservation of dry matter by reducing pH and protein degradation, in easy and moderately difficult to ensile forage at 1 × 108 CFU/kg of fresh material and at 1 × 109 CFU/kg of fresh material in difficult to ensile forage for all species. It also concluded that the preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri DSM 22501 has the potential to improve the production of silage by reducing pH and ammonia nitrogen and by the preservation of dry matter, from easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile forage; the preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788/CNCM I-4323 has the potential to improve the aerobic stability of easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile forage and the preparations of Lactobacillus buchneri LN 40177/ATCC PTA-6138, and of Lactobacillus buchneri LN 4637/ATCC PTA-2494 have the potential to improve the aerobic stability of easy to ensile forage for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparations concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those preparations should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation
The preparations specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, are authorised as additives in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Transitional measures
The preparations specified in the Annex and feed containing them, which are produced and labelled before 28 May 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 28 November 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

Whereas the request submitted by Germany on 2 May 1997, which was received by the Commission on 12 May 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns one type of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas this new type of gas discharge lamp and these new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 8, 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the three items covered by the request for exemption, i.e. the type of gas discharge lamp, the types of headlamp fitted with these types of lamp and the type of motor vehicle, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval on condition that the type of vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit;
Whereas the Community directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology, headlamps fitted with such lamps and motor vehicles equipped with such headlamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Germany for an exemption concerning one type of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle is hereby approved on condition that the vehicle type concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cabbage lettuce is produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for it;
Whereas cabbage lettuce harvested during a given crop year is marketed from July to June of the following year; whereas the quantities imported from 1 July to 31 October and in June are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 31 May of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (1) establishes the list of prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied in the framework of the arrangements on the automatic dismantlement of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the resulting reduction; whereas this reducing coefficient shall apply to the prices referred to above; however, this adjustment cannot result in a lower level of the reference prices than the prices in force during the proceeding marketing year pursuant to Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products w not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 284 of the Act of Accession, Portuguese prices shall be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices as from 1 January 1991;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

(3) Council Decision 2003/465/EC of 16 June 2003 concerning the conclusion of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning certain agricultural products(8), provides inter alia for changes in the quotas for cheese imports into the Community. The agreement also relates to replacing the method of managing these quotas, currently based on the issuing of IMA 1 certificates as described in Chapter III, Title 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, by managing them on the basis of an import licence alone, as provided for in Chapter I, Title 2 of the said Regulation.
(4) The details relating to the issuing body for Canada, set out in Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, should be updated.

(6) Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 lays down that the licence applications may be lodged only during the first 10 days of each six-month period. In order to enable this Regulation to be implemented correctly and ensure that all the importers concerned have 10 days to lodge applications for the second half of 2003, provision should be made to derogate from the said Article.
(7) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 lays down that applicants for import licences must be approved in advance by the competent authority of the Member States in which they are established. Provision should be made to derogate from the said Article and from Article 11 in the case of importers wishing, for the period 1 July 2003 to 31 December 2003, to have access to the quotas provided for in the Agreement with Norway.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1369/2007
of 22 November 2007
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) 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 each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) 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.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 November 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 12, 14 and 15 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1531/88 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China. The amount of the duty imposed was equal to either the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier-price per kilogram net, before duty, was less than ECU 2,25 or 20 % of that price per kilogram net, free-at-Community-frontier, before duty, whichever was higher.
(2) Following a review of the measures, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China. The amount of duty imposed was ECU 1,26 per kilogram. The Regulation entered into force on 20 November 1994.
(3) However, Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 does not specifically provide for the repeal or amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1531/88, and it is therefore appropriate to make it clear that Regulation (EEC) No 1531/88 is repealed and is replaced by Regulation (EC) No 2819/94. Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 shall be amended as follows:
1. a new paragraph 3 shall be inserted as follows:
'3. Regulation (EC) No 1531/88 shall be repealed.`;
2. paragraph 3 shall be renumbered paragraph 4.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 20 November 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC lay down a Community procedure enabling the competent authorities of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of products containing, or consisting of, genetically modified organisms;
Whereas a notification concerning the placing on the market of such a product has been submitted to the competent authorities of France;
Whereas the competent authorities of France have subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the competent authorities of other Member States have raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas the notifier subsequently modified the proposed labelling in the original dossier as follows:
- to mention on the seed bags to be sold to farmers that the product has been genetically modified to make it tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium,
- to indicate either on the label of seed bags to be sold to farmers or in the accompanying documentation that because of the original genetic modification specific labelling requirements may be applicable for the harvested material, and
- to provide information relating to the genetically modified crops subject to this notification produced by or under licence from Hoechst Schering AgrEvo GmbH outside the Community, to those companies which are known to import the crops concerned into the Community for processing;
Whereas, the notifier subsequently supplemented the original dossier with further information;
Whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive 90/220/EEC, the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of that Directive;
Whereas the Commission sought the opinion of the relevant Scientific Committees established by Commission Decision 97/579/EC (3) on this dossier; whereas the opinion was delivered on 10 February 1998 by the Scientific Committee on Plants which concluded that there is no reason to believe that the placing on the market of the product would have any adverse effects on human health or the environment;
Whereas the Commission, having examined each of the objections raised in the light of Directive 90/220/EEC, the information submitted in the dossier and the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Plants, has reached the conclusion that there is no reason to believe that there will be any adverse effects on human health or the environment from the introduction into maize of the gene coding for phosphinotricine-acetyl-transferase and the truncated gene coding for beta-lactamase;
Whereas the authorisation of chemical herbicides applied to plants and the assessment of the impact of their use on human health and the environment falls within the scope of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/73/EC (5), and not within the scope of Directive 90/220/EEC;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established under Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Without prejudice to other Community legislation, in particular Council Directives 66/402/EEC (6) and 70/457/EEC (7) and Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and the Council (8), and subject to paragraph 2 of this Article, consent shall be given by the competent authorities of France to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by AgrEvo France (Ref. C/F/95/12/07):
seeds and grains of genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) with increased glufosinate ammonium tolerance derived from the maize line HE/89 transformation event T25 which has been transformed using plasmid pUC/Ac containing:
(a) a synthetic pat gene coding for phosphinothricine acetyl transferase under the regulation of a 35S promoter and terminator sequences from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus, and
(b) a truncated beta-lactamase gene missing about 25 % of the gene from the 5' end, which when complete, codes for betalactam antibiotic resistance and the Col E1 origin of replication of pUC.
2. The consent shall cover any progeny derived from crosses of the product with any traditionally bred maize.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. That coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question. In view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2000, the average ageing period in 2000 was five years for Irish whiskey. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2001 to 30 September 2002 should be fixed.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 2001/02.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 October 2001 to 30 September 2002 the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex.
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 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of the Council of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus to be amended as a result of the monetary realignments (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1330/93 (5), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community market to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas plums are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas plums harvested during a given crop year are marketed from June to October; whereas the quantities harvested during the first 10 days of June and in October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these periods; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 11 June to 30 September inclusive;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, since the varieties of plums are not all comparable as regards the estimation of their commercial value, these varieties should be classified in two groups;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92 of 28 December 1992 on transitional measures for the application of the agrimonetary arrangements laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6) establishes a correspondence between the provisions of the agrimonetary arrangements applicable from 1 January 1993 and those applicable before that date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to be divided by a coefficient of 1,012674, fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (7), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (8), as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down that the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed; whereas, however, this adjustment may not result in a reference price level below that of the preceding marketing year, in accordance with Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas for the purpose of calculating entry prices, the varieties imported from third countries of which the entry prices are to be compared with the prices fixed for group I and with those fixed for group II, respectively, should be specified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1993 marketing year, the reference prices for plums falling within CN codes 0809 40 11 and 0809 40 19 expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of groups I and II, of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows for each of the groups of varieties;
Group I Group II 11 June to 31 July: 69,39 -
August: 69,39 55,37
September: 60,71 47,99.
2. The groups of varieties referred to in paragraph 1 shall be composed of the following varieties:
Group I:
Altesse double (Italian quetsche), PrĂŠcoce favourite, Belle de Louvain, Conducta, Early Rivers, Kirk's Blue, Jefferson Gage, Luetzelsachser (early Luetzelsachsen quetsche), Anna Spaeth, Ersinger (early Ersingen quetsche), Zimmers (Zimmer quetsche), Buehler (early Buehl quetsche), Burbank, Florentina, Goccia d'oro, Reine-Claude, Czar, Victorias, Damsons and Santa Rosa;
Group II:
Altesse simple (common quetsche, Hauszwetschge), Reine-Claude d'Oullins, Sveskeblommer, Ruth Gerstetter and Ontario.
3. The entry prices of imported products are to be compared:
(a) with the prices fixed for group I where the imported products belong to varieties other than those shown in (b);
(b) with the prices fixed for group II where the imported products belong to the following varieties: Altesse simple (common quetsche, Hauszwetschge), Reine-Claude d'Oullins (Oullins Gage), Sveskeblommer, Ruth Gerstetter, Ontario, Wangenheimer (early Wangenheim quetsche), Pershore (yellow egg) Mirabelle, Bosniche and Ortenauer.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 June 1993.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry are established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Neomycin is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for all food-producing species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney, milk and eggs.
(4) An application for the modification of the existing entry for neomycin has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) Additional data on neomycin was provided and assessed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use. As a result that Committee recommends the modification of the current MRLs for neomycin.
(6) According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(7) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a revised MRL for neomycin for bovine species, applicable to kidney and liver, and the extrapolation of the revised MRLs for neomycin from cattle to all food-producing species.
(8) Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

31972L0461 | Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (72/461/EEC)
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;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas the implementation of the Council Directive of 26 June 1964 1 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat, as last amended by the Council Directive of 27 October 1970, 2 will not have the desired effect so long as intra-Community trade is hindered by differences between the health requirements of Member States concerning meat ; whereas to eliminate such differences the health provisions of the Member States concerning meat must be approximated;
Whereas in particular, to improve information concerning the state of health of the animals from which fresh meat for consignment to another Member State comes, it should be stipulated that animals from certain categories must have stayed for a specified period in the territory of the Community, unless an exception is granted by the country of destination and communicated to the other Member States and the Commission;
Whereas, in order to avoid the spread of epizootic diseases by means of fresh meat, fresh meat from animals coming from a holding or area which, in accordance with Community rules, has been placed under health restrictions, should be excluded from intra-Community trade;
Whereas care should be taken that fresh meat which does not comply with Community rules should not be given the health mark provided for in those rules;
Whereas the Member States must have the right to prohibit the introduction of meat into their territory if it does not comply with Community health provisions ; whereas, however, the consignor should at his own request or upon request of a representative be allowed to return the meat unless on health grounds there are reasons to the contrary;
Whereas the consignor or his representative and the competent authorities of the exporting country must be informed of the reasons for any prohibition or restriction so that they may be aware of them;
Whereas the Member States must have the right to prohibit the introduction into their territory of fresh meat from a Member State where an epizootic disease has broken out ; whereas, depending on the nature and character of this epizootic disease, such a prohibition may either be limited to meat coming from a part of the territory of the exporting country, or extended to the whole of that territory ; whereas, in the event of an outbreak of a contagious disease in the territory of a Member State it is necessary for appropriate measures to be taken rapidly to control it ; whereas the dangers inherent in such diseases and the requisite protective measures should be viewed in the same light throughout the Community ; whereas, to this end, the Standing Veterinary Committee set up by the Council Decision of 15 October 1968 3 should institute an emergency Community procedure to take the necessary measures; 1OJ No 121, 29.7.1964, p. 2012/64. 2OJ No L 239, 30.10.1970, p. 42. 3OJ No L 255, 28.10.1968, p. 23.
Whereas it seems desirable to set down in this Directive the general principle of non-discrimination ; whereas it should accordingly be expressly laid down, pending specific Community rules covering imports from third countries, that the treatment to be applied to third countries by each Member State should not be more favourable than the treatment applied, pursuant to this Directive, to trade between the Member States;
1. This Directive shall apply to intra-Community trade in fresh meat of domestic bovine animals, swine, sheep and goats and solipeds.
2. All parts of these animals which are fit for human consumption shall be considered to be meat.
3. All meat which has not undergone any preserving process shall be considered as fresh meat ; however, for the purposes of this Directive chilled and frozen meat shall be considered to be fresh meat.
For the purposes of this Directive: (a) official veterinarian means the veterinarian designated by the competent central authority of the Member State;
(b) exporting country means the Member State from which fresh meat is sent to another Member State;
(c) country of destination means the Member State to which fresh meat is sent from another Member State.
Only fresh meat which fulfils the following requirements may be sent from the territory of one Member State to the territory of another Member State: (a) Meat obtained from domestic sheep, goats or solipeds must, without prejudice to Article 6, come from animals which have stayed in the territory of the Community for at least twenty-one days immediately prior to slaughter or from birth in the case of animals less than twenty-one days old.
(b) The meat must not have been obtained from animals which come from a holding or area which for health reasons is subject to prohibition pursuant to Article 3 (2) (b) of the Council Directive of 26 June 1964 1 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine, last amended by the Council Directive of 7 February 1972 2, as a result of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, swine fever or contagious swine paralysis (Teschen disease) to which the animals in question are susceptible.
(c) The meat must not be obtained from slaughterhouses in which cases of foot and mouth disease, swine fever or contagious swine paralysis (Teschen disease) have been recorded.
Should there be an outbreak of one of these diseases, the Member States shall ensure that no meat suspected to be contaminated forms part of intra-Community trade.
Without prejudice to Article 3 (b), fresh meat from swine, sheep and goats may not be sent to the territory of another Member State except on condition that such animals do not come from a holding in the exporting country which is subject to prohibition for health reasons as a result of the outbreak of porcine, ovine or caprine brucellosis.
Such prohibition must last at least six weeks after the last case has been officially recorded.
1. The Member States shall ensure that fresh meat obtained from animals which do not fulfil the requirements of Articles 3 and 4 shall not be given the health mark provided for in Chapter IX of Annex I of the Directive on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat.
2. The country of destination may prohibit the introduction of fresh meat into its territory if it has been established that Articles 3 and 4 have not been observed. 1OJ No 121, 29.7.1964, p. 1977/64. 2OJ No L 38, 12.2.1972, p. 95.
3. In this event, the country of destination must authorise, at the request of the consignor or his representative, the return of the whole consignment of fresh meat, provided this is not contrary to considerations of health.
4. The competent authority of the country of destination may order the consignment to be destroyed where introduction is prohibited, pursuant to paragraph 2, and the exporting country or country of transit, as the case may be, does not authorise return.
5. For the application of the measures referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Article, Article 6 (7) of the Directive on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine shall apply.
1. Countries of destination may grant to one or more exporting countries general authorisations or authorisations restricted to specific cases for the introduction into their territory of fresh meat, in derogation from Article 3 (a) does not come from animals which have stayed in the territory of the Community for at least twenty-one days immediately prior to slaughter or since birth in the case of animals less than twenty-one days old.
2. When a country of destination grants a general authorisation, in accordance with paragraph 1, it shall immediately inform the Member States and the Commission.
3. When a country of destination grants one of the authorisations provided for in paragraph 1, a corresponding authorisation should be obtained, in cases of transit, from the countries of transit concerned.
1. Without prejudice to Articles 3, 4 and 6, a Member State may, if there is a danger that animal diseases may be spread by the introduction into its territory of fresh meat from another Member State, take the following measures: (a) In the event of an outbreak of an epizootic disease in the other Member State, it may temporarily prohibit or restrict the introduction of meat from the affected areas of that Member State;
(b) If an epizootic disease becomes widespread or if there is an outbreak of another serious contagious or infections animal disease, it may temporarily prohibit or restrict the introduction of meat from the entire territory of that State.
2. Each Member State must notify the other Member States and the Commission without delay of the outbreak in its territory of any disease referred to in paragraph 1 and of the measures it has taken to control it. It must also notify them without delay of the disappearance of the disease.
3. Measures taken by a Member State under paragraph 1, and their repeal, must be communicated without delay to the other Member States and to the Commission together with the precise reasons for such measures.
It may be decided, according to the procedure laid down in Article 8, that these measures should be amended, mainly to ensure coordination with those adopted by the other Member States, or abolished.
4. If the situation provided for in paragraph 1 arises and if it seems necessary for other Member States also to apply the measures taken pursuant to the said paragraph, together with any amendments made in accordance with paragraph 3, the appropriate provisions shall be adopted according to the procedure defined in Article 8.
5. Article 8 of the Directive on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat is hereby repealed.
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, matters shall be referred by the Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State, to the Standing Veterinary Committee (hereinafter called "the Committee") set up by the Council Decision of 15 October 1968.
2. Within the Committee the votes of the Member States shall be weighted as provided in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.
3. The representative of the Commission shall submit a draft of the measures to be adopted. The Committee shall deliver its Opinion on the measures within two days. Opinions shall be delivered by a majority of twelve votes.
4. The Commission shall adopt measures which shall apply immediately, where they are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee. However, if these measures are not in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee or if the Committee does not give an Opinion, the Commission shall forthwith submit a proposal to the Council concerning the measures to be taken. The Council shall adopt the measures by a qualified majority.
If after fifteen days from the date on which it was informed, the Council has not adopted the measures, the Commission shall adopt the proposed measures and shall implement them immediately, unless the Council has decided against the said measures by a simple majority.
Article 8 shall apply for eighteen months from the date on which the Committee was first informed, either pursuant to Article 8 (1) or on the basis of any similar regulation.

Having regard to Commission Decision 76/687/EEC of 30 June 1976 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to restrict the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 (1) of the abovementioned Directive, seed or propagating material of these varieties of agricultural species which have been officially approved in at least one of the Member States and which also fulfil the conditions laid down in the said Directive is, after the expiry of a given period, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety within the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the abovementioned Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas, in accordance with the abovementioned Decision, the Commission has authorized the Federal Republic of Germany inter alia to prohibit the marketing of seed of the "Bastion" (Triticum aestivum L.) variety because this variety has not been, in the Federal Republic of Germany, sufficiently uniform in certain characteristics (Article 15 (3) (a);
Whereas, because of the results of new growing trials, it can no longer be maintained that in the Federal Republic of Germany the variety is not sufficiently uniform;
Whereas, therefore, the conditions of Article 15 (3) (a) of the abovementioned Directive are no longer satisfied;
Whereas, therefore, the authorization granted to the Federal Republic of Germany should be withdrawn;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The authorization for the Federal Republic of Germany granted in Decision 76/687/EEC of 30 June 1976 shall be withdrawn with effect from 20 April 1978 as far as the Bastion (Triticum aestivum L.) variety is concerned.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (4) determines a Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals; whereas Article 6 of that Regulation limits the application of the scale to the establishment of market prices and the application of intervention measures;
Whereas progress made in the application of the scale and experience gained enable its extension to all carcases placed on the market to be contemplated; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for those products to be classified by approved slaughterhouses, which alone may market the latter throughout the Community in accordance with Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-community trade in fresh meat (5), as last amended by Directive 88/657/EEC (6);
Whereas the natural or legal person who has the slaughtering carried out should be informed of the result of the classification of the animals delivered for slaughter; whereas such a classification on the one hand permits the price to
be justified and, on the other hand, is likely to lead to
an improvement in quality and better upgrading of production,
1. From 1 January 1991, slaughterhouses approved under Article 8 of Directive 64/433/EEC shall be obliged to take measures to ensure that by 1 January 1992 at the
latest all carcases or half-carcases from animals slaughtered in slaughterhouses approved under Article 8 of Directive 64/433/EEC and bearing a health mark as provided for in Article 3 of that Directive are classified and identified in accordance with the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81.
2. From the date on which the provisions of paragraph 1 are implemented, the results of the classification carried
out in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC)
N° 1208/81 shall be communicated in writing to the natural or legal person who has the slaughtering carried out.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) N° 805/68 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 571/89 (8), the Commission shall adopt the arrangements for implementing this Regulation and in particular those relating to:
(a) the system of identification referred to in Article 1 (1);
(b) any derogations:
- referred to in Article 5 of Directive 88/409/EEC (9) for slaughterhouses wishing to restrict their production to the local market,
- which may be granted to Member States which so request for slaughterhouses in which few bovine animals are slaughtered.
The Member States shall take all the measures necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are applied and to penalize any infringements.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1991.

Whereas, as a result of an error of substance, Commission Regulations (EEC) No 977/84 (3) and (EEC) No 978/84 (4) on the putting up for sale on the internal market of 142 600 tonnes and 150 000 tonnes of common wheat held by the Danish and United Kingdom intervention agencies respectively, set at 200 instead of 100 tonnes the minimum quantity for which tenders could be made; whereas to facilitate disposal of the quantities put up for sale the said error should be corrected; whereas in the case of the common wheat put up for sale by the Danish intervention agency the correction can apply retroactively since the agency conerned stated in the notice of invitation to tender that tenders should be in respect of a minimum quantity of 100 tonnes;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 3 (2) of Regulations (EEC) No 977/84 and (EEC) No 978/84 is hereby replaced by the following:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, in order to qualify for the compensatory payments for arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (4) farmers must set aside a percentage of their land; whereas, so as to prevent this compulsory set-aside from being carried out only on a farm's marginal land, it is laid down that the set-aside must be rotational; whereas it is laid down that the set-aside may be other than rotational provided that the percentage of land set aside is increased;
Whereas experience has shown that farmers have a marked preference for other than rotational set-aside, because of the simplification that this can involve for the management of their cultivation plan; whereas, furthermore, a single rate of set-aside is more appropriate for set-aside used as a tool for the management of the markets for arable crops; whereas it should therefore no longer be required to carry out set-aside on a rotational basis and a single rate of set-aside should be set; whereas the abolition of compulsory rotation must not be allowed to weaken the reform of the common agricultural policy with regard to the control of production of arable crops; whereas account must be taken of this when setting the single rate of compulsory set-aside;
Whereas the setting of a single rate of set-aside requires the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1541/93 of 14 June 1993 fixing the non-rotational set-aside rate referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (5);
Whereas, furthermore, with the setting of a single rate of set-aside, the compulsory rate of set-aside becomes the same throughout the Community; whereas the additional percentage of land to be set aside where set-aside obligations are transferred between farmers should therefore be standardized,
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 5 (1) (e) the word 'rotational` shall be deleted.
2. In Article 7:
(a) the second and third subparagraphs of paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
'The set-aside requirement shall be 17,5 %.`;
(b) the final two sentences of the second indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 7 shall be replaced by the following:
'The set-aside rate referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased by three percentage points.`;
(c) the last subparagraph of paragraph 7 shall be deleted.
3. In the eighth indent of Article 12, the words 'forms of set-aside other than rotational` shall be deleted.
Regulation (EEC) No 1541/93 is hereby repealed.

Whereas it should be made clear that the tenderer's statement waiving all claims in respect of the quality and characteristics of the alcohol awarded to him does not extend to hidden impurities that by their nature could not be detected by him beforehand and make it unfit for the use intended;
Whereas the text of the third subparagraph of Article 36 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1780/89 should be amended with the aim of specifying that checks on the alcohol awarded may be made less frequently where the alcohol has been denatured;

The vat in which the replacement quantity is stored shall be determined in agreement with the intervention agency concerned. If the tenderer does not indicate his disagreement with the transfer, by writing to the intervention agency concerned within 10 working days from the date of notification of the Commission's decision indicating the replacement quantity, he shall be deemed to have agreed to the replacement.';

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 989/84 (5) introduced, as from the 1985/86 marketing year, a system of guarantee thresholds for certain processed fruit and vegetable products; whereas it also appeared necessary, from the 1985/86 marketing year, to limit the granting of production aid in producer Member States to certain quantities of fresh tomatoes intended for processing; whereas these limitation arrangements were last extended in respect of the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1203/90 of 7 May 1990 on temporary measures relating to production aid for processed tomato products (6);
Whereas on the expiry of the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1203/90, the system of guarantee thresholds in respect of the 1992/93 marketing year has again spontaneously produced its effects; whereas, however, in view of the situation in the sector, it appears preferable for the arrangements restricting the granting of the aid to be reapplied from the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas the quantities of fresh tomatoes which may qualify for the production aid should be fixed for each producer Member State; whereas, in view of the production target and the market situation, such quantities should be fixed at the same levels as those which were applied for the 1991/92 marketing year;
Whereas those quantities of fresh tomatoes should be broken down between the processing undertakings on the basis of the total quantities which they processed in the last three marketing years preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed;
Whereas the undertakings which started production after the beginning of the second marketing year preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed have only partially benefited from the production aid scheme; whereas, under the new scheme, they should be granted a quota based on a suitable reference period; whereas, in order to permit some development in the production structures in the sector, a percentage of the overall quantities allocated in each Member State should be reserved for undertakings which start production during the marketing year for which the aid is fixed; whereas, in view of the fact that the quantities available are limited, quantities should only be allocated to those undertakings presenting guarantees as to the efficiency and durability of their activities;
Whereas, in order to prevent that for the 1992/93 marketing year and while the threshold scheme is in force processing undertakings increase their production in anticipation of the arrangements limiting the aid, which the institutions had announced would be reintroduced for the 1993/94 marketing year, the latter simultaneously laid down that the quantities produced in 1992/93 would not be taken into account for the application of the rules for the allocation of the national limits between the processing undertakings; whereas the consequences should be drawn from this for all the undertakings concerned up to the 1995/96 marketing year,
1. From the 1993/94 marketing year, production aid granted to all processing undertakings in each Member State shall be limited to the quantities of processed tomato products obtained from the following quantities in tonnes of fresh tomatoes:
/* Tables: see OJ */
paragraph 3, be divided by the Member States between the processing undertakings in proportion to the average quantities actually produced by each of them during the three marketing years preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed.
On application by the undertaking concerned, the competent authorities of the Member State shall authorize one only of the following transfer possibilities:
- a transfer of up to 25 % of quantities of peeled tomatoes, expressed in quantities of fresh tomatoes, to the quantities allocated for tomato concentrate and other tomato products,
- a transfer of up to 5 % of quantities of tomato concentrate, expressed in quantities of fresh tomatoes, to the quantities allocated for the other products,
- a transfer of up to 5 % of the quantities of other tomato products, expressed in quantities of fresh tomatoes, to the quantities allocated for concentrate.
3. For the granting of the aid:
(a) processing undertakings which started production during the two marketing years preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed shall be granted a quota calculated on the basis of the average quantities produced during those marketing years;
(b) processing undertakings which started production in the marketing year preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed shall be granted a quota corresponding to the quantities processed during that marketing year;
(c) processing undertakings which started production of one of the finished tomato products mentioned in paragraph 1 during the marketing year for which the aid is fixed shall qualify for production aid under the following conditions, provided that they present, to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, adequate guarantees as to the efficiency and durability of their activities.
The producer Member States shall reserve 2 % of the total quantities fixed for each group of finished products for the purposes of allocating to the undertakings referred to in the first subparagraph. The quota allocated to each undertaking may not exceed its processing capacity, less 30 %.
4. Where all the quantities defined in paragraph 1 have not been allocated, the remainder shall be divided fairly between the processing undertakings referred to in paragraph 2, taking account in particular of those undertakings which use new production technology.
For the first three marketing years of application of this and by way of derogation from Article 1 (2) and (3), the quantities produced for the 1992/93 marketing year shall not be taken into account for the calculation of the average of the quantities produced. Consequently, Article 1 (3) (c) shall also apply to undertakings which started production on 1992/93 marketing year.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86. They shall include in particular rules applicable in the case of mergers and changes of ownership of undertakings.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 8 March 2001
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 216/2001(2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1467/1999(4), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector. Article 7 of that Regulation sets out the timetable for submission of applications for advances on compensatory aid for bananas marketed during the two-month period preceding the month of application.
(2) This timetable currently allows for the possibility of paying five advances. To take account of cash-flow problems on the part of producers, pending the determination of the compensatory aid and the payment of the balance, provision should be made for the possibility of payment of a sixth advance for bananas marketed during the months of November and December.
(3) The necessary provisions should be adopted to this end and specific administrative arrangements should be laid down for aid for the year 2000.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 is replaced by the following:
"2. Applications shall be submitted:
(a) in the case of advances, at the latest on 30 March, 30 May, 30 July, 30 September and 30 November of the marketing year and at the latest on 30 January of the year following that in respect of which the aid is applied for, for bananas marketed during the two-month period preceding the month of application;
(b) in the case of payment of the balance of the aid, at the latest on 10 February of the year following that in respect of which the aid is applied for.
The balance shall comprise the adjustment to the amounts paid for bananas marketed during the periods referred to in point (a), on the basis of the definitive amount of aid.
In the case of the compensatory aid in respect of 2000, applications for advances for bananas marketed in November and December shall be submitted by 30 March 2001 and applications for payment of the balance shall be submitted by 11 April 2001."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2655/93 of 27 September 1993 repealing with retroactive effect the anti-dumping measures applying to imports into the Community of tapered roller bearings originating in Japan
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1) and in particular Articles 14 and 15 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission and after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Whereas,
A. Products under consideration (1) The products under consideration are tapered roller bearings, including cone and tapered roller assemblies (hereafter referred to as 'TRBs'), falling within CN code 8482 20 00.
B. Procedure (2) In May 1989 the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of a review of Regulation (EEC) No 1739/85 (3) imposing a definitive duty on imports of TRBs originating in Japan and commenced an investigation in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(3) The investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged in December 1988 by the 'Federation of European Bearing Manufacturers' Associations' (FEBMA) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of Community production of TRBs.
(4) In accordance with Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the measures imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1739/85 would namely have lapsed in June 1990. However, as the review investigation was still in progress at this time, the measures remained in force pending the outcome of the review in accordance with Article 15 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and the Commission published a notice to this effect (4).
C. Withdrawal of the request for review and termination of review investigation (5) In March 1993, FEBMA withdrew its request for review.
(6) As the Commission has no reason to believe that the cessation of the measures is not in the interest of the Community, it considers that the review and therefore the anti-dumping proceeding should be terminated. The Council agrees.
D. Expiry of the measures (7) In view of the foregoing, the anti-dumping measures lapse in accordance with Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(8) If the review proceeding had not been initiated, the measures would have expired on 28 June 1990. The Commission considers it appropriate in this case that the measures should be repealed with retroactive effect from that date.
(9) The relevant legislation in force concerning repayment of customs duties will apply. In this respect and in accordance with Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 (5), as amended by Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3069/86 (6), the normal time limit for submitting repayment applications for duties in three years.
(10) Although a notice was published in the Official Journal concerning the preservation of importers' rights with regard to anti-dumping duties paid (7), such importers could not have known that the Community would definitely repeal the measures with retroactive effect from 29 June 1990. It is therefore appropriate to ensure that importers have a reasonable opportunity to reclaim duties they have paid,
The anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1739/85 on imports of TRBs originating in Japan and falling within CN code 8482 20 00 are hereby repealed with effect from 29 June 1990.
1. The relevant legislation in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
2. For the purposes of applying Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79, anti-dumping duties entered into the accounts of the authority responsible for their collection between 29 June 1990 and 29 December 1990 shall be deemed to have been entered into the accounts on 29 December 1990.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable from 29 June 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31993D0379 | 93/379/EEC: Council Decision of 14 June 1993 on a multiannual programme of Community measures to intensify the priority areas and to ensure the continuity and consolidation of policy for enterprise, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community
| COUNCIL DECISION of 14 June 1993 on a multiannual programme of Community measures to intensify the priority areas and to ensure the continuity and consolidation of policy for enterprise, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community
(93/379/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas on 28 July 1989 the Council adopted Decision 89/490/EEC on the improvement of the business environment and the promotion of the development of enterprises, and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SHEs), in the Community (3), as revised by Council Decision 91/319/EEC (4);
Whereas in its resolution of 17 June 1992 on Community action to support enterprises, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, including craft-industry enterprises (5), the Council confirmed its undertaking to support the consolidation of the action taken to help enterprises;
Whereas the Council recommended in that resolution that the Commission should press ahead, having regard to the principle of subsidiary, with the action necessary to create an environment favourable to the competitiveness of enterprises, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, and to back up their integration into the internal market after 1992; whereas it also requested the Commission to submit before the end of 1992, in the light of the evaluations made, any proposals it deemed necessary to ensure continuity of the policy towards enterprises;
Whereas the opportunities afforded by the internal market will constitute the greatest business over the next few years, and SMEs must be provided with full information on this aspect of the Community;
Whereas indpendent experts have carried out, pursuant to Article 3 of Decision 91/319/EEC, an evaluation of the results achieved from all aspects of the existing programme; whereas the Commission has submitted the report, together with its comments, to the European Parliament and the Council;
Whereas the report confirms the appositeness, importance and quality of the entreprises policy the Community has carried out thus far, but makes interesting suggestions concerning the direction of certain measures;
Whereas the evolution of the economic situation calls for an initiative to relaunch growth, to the success of which SMEs have an essential contribution to make, and involves proposing the adoption of a programme of Community measures to assist SMEs which takes full account of this new priority;
Whereas the European Council meeting in Edinburgh on 11 and 12 December 1992 recognized 'the importance of SMEs for creating employment and stimulating growth'; whereas it agreed to reduce the burdens emanating from Community legislation, accelerate Community actions in favour of SMEs which have proven their worth at the Community level and take measures that encourage private investment, particularly by SMEs;
Whereas it is necessary to uphold the overall unity of enterprise policy by both strengthening its priority areas as part of the growth initiative and, at the same time, ensuring continuity in other aspects of enterprise policy;
Whereas the Commission has put before the Council a communication on enterprise policy for the Community, entitled 'The enterprises dimension essential to Community growth';
Whereas the Commission has submitted to the Council in the past two years a series of communications on measures for the benefit of SMEs (subcontracting, mutual guarantee systems, participation by SMEs in public contracts, etc.);
Whereas this Decision appies to all forms of enterprise, regardless of sector, size, legal structure (including cooperatives, mutual societies, associations and foundations) and geographical location, but is especially directed at SMEs and enterprise creators, including enterprises in commerce and the distributive trades, craft enterprises, family firms and young entrepreneurs;
Whereas when defining SMEs it is necessary to follow the guidelines laid down in the Commission communication on SMEs definitions used in the framework of Community actions (SEC(92) 351 final of 29 April 1992);
Whereas SMEs, particularly new enterprises, play an important role in economic activity in general and in regional development, and a fundamental role as regards dynamism, productivity, adaptability and innovation;
Whereas the development of a Community enterprise policy based on real competition assumes particular importance as regards marking the Community economy more competitive and as regards employment growth, economic and social cohesion in the Community and the continuation of the widening of the market after 1993;
Whereas this policy primarly involves the improvement of the administrative, legal and fiscal environment of enterprises, the intensification and wider distribution of Community information for enterprises, the stimulation of cooperation and partnership between enterprises, and the promotion and coordination of Community instruments to assist enterprises, particularly SMEs;
Whereas the possibility offered to SMEs under the Structural Funds and Community research and development programmes and various other Community programmes such as those concerning public contracts should be improved and better used;
Whereas the effectiveness of the action programme could be increased by regular contacts between the Commission and employers' organizations; whereas in this context SMEs should be encouraged to improve their representation at European level;
Whereas, however, many measures to assist enterprises are carried out at Member State level, and Community measures should attempt to complement these;
Whereas in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity the Community, in the context of the action programme, shall take action only if the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved by the Community;
Whereas the resources and measures implemented by the Community in the context of the action programme must be in proportion to the objective to be achieved;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt a programme for a period up to 31 December 1996 and to endow it with sufficient financial resources to atteint its objectives of growth stimulation, job creation and social and econmic cohesion in the Community;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those laid down in Article 235,
A programme to intensify the priority measures and to ensure the continuity of an enterprise policy is hereby adopted from 1 July 1993. This programme is aimed at all enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
