| Commission Regulation (EC) No 424/2002
of 7 March 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 March 2002.
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 1117/2008
of 11 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as regards the support schemes provided for in Titles IV and IVa of that Regulation and the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Article 110b(2) and Article 145(r) second indent thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 (2) sets out the rules for the coupled support for cotton in conformity with the Court’s judgement C-310/04.
(2) In particular, Chapter 10a of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 provides for the possibility of direct aid being granted for the production of cotton. It is therefore necessary to adapt the corresponding detailed rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 (3).
(3) Article 110b(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 states that, in order to be eligible for the aid per hectare, the farmer must sow the area under cotton with approved varieties and grow the cotton on land authorised by the Member States. The criteria should therefore be specified for both the authorisation of land suitable for cotton production and the approval of varieties.
(4) In order to receive the aid per hectare for cotton, farmers must sow authorised lands. A criterion defining ‘sowing’ should be established. The Member States’ fixing of the minimum planting density on these lands based on soil and climate conditions and specific regional features must be an objective criterion for establishing whether sowing has been conducted properly or not.
(5) The Member States should approve inter-branch cotton producing organisations on the basis of objective criteria relating to their scale and internal organisation. The scale of an inter-branch organisation should be fixed, taking into account the requirement on the member ginning undertaking to be able to take delivery of sufficient quantities of unginned cotton.
(6) In order to avoid complications in managing the aid scheme, a producer may not be a member of more than one inter-branch organisation. For that same reason, where a producer belonging to an inter-branch organisation undertakes to supply the cotton he has produced, he should supply it only to the ginning undertaking belonging to that same organisation.
(7) The cotton aid scheme requires Member States to send their producers certain information on cotton growing, such as approved varieties, the objective criteria for authorising land and the minimum plant density. In order to inform the farmers in good time, the Member State should send them this information by a specific date.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) Since the rules laid down in Chapter 10a of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 apply from 1 January 2009, the detailed rules to be established by this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
Chapter 17a of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 is replaced by the following:
‘CHAPTER 17a
CROP SPECIFIC PAYMENTS FOR COTTON
71a
Authorisation of agricultural land for cotton production
The Member States shall establish objective criteria on the basis of which land is authorised for the crop-specific payment for cotton provided for in Article 110a of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.
These criteria shall be based on one or more of the following:
(a) the agricultural economy of those regions where cotton is a major crop;
(b) the soil and climate in the areas in question;
(c) the management of irrigation water;
(d) rotation systems and cultivation methods likely to respect the environment.
71aa
Approval of varieties for sowing
The Member States shall approve the varieties registered in the “Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species” that are adapted to market needs.
71ab
Eligibility requirements
Sowing the areas referred to in Article 110b(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 shall be done by achieving a minimum plant density, to be fixed by the Member State on the basis of the soil and weather conditions and specific regional characteristics, where appropriate.
71ac
Agronomic practices
The Member States shall be authorised to establish specific rules on the agronomic practices needed to maintain and harvest the crops under normal growing conditions.
71ad
Approval of inter-branch organisations
1. Before 31 December each year, Member States shall approve for the following year any inter-branch cotton-producing organisation that applies to plant cotton and which:
(a) covers a total area of at least 4 000 ha as established by the Member State and meeting the authorisation criteria laid down in Article 171a, and which includes at least one ginning undertaking;
(b) has adopted internal operating rules, in particular on membership conditions and fees, in accordance with national and Community rules and regulations.
However, for 2009, Member States shall approve the inter-branch cotton-producing organisations by 28 February 2009.
2. Where it is found that an approved inter-branch organisation does not respect the criteria for approval provided for in paragraph 1, the Member State shall withdraw the approval unless the non-respect of the criteria concerned is remedied within a reasonable period of time. Where it is planned to withdraw the approval, the Member State shall notify that intention to the inter-branch organisation, together with the reasons for the withdrawal. The Member State shall allow the inter-branch organisation to submit its observations within a specified period. In case of withdrawal, the Member States shall provide for the application of appropriate sanctions.
Farmers who are members of an approved inter-branch organisation whose approval is withdrawn in accordance with the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall lose their right to the increase of the aid provided for in Article 110e(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.
71ae
The producers’ obligations
1. A producer shall not be a member of more than one inter-branch organisation.
2. A producer who is a member of an inter-branch organisation shall deliver his cotton to a ginner belonging to that same organisation.
3. The participation of producers in an approved inter-branch organisation must be the result of voluntary membership.
71af
Communications to the producers
1. Before January 31 of the year in question, Member States shall notify cotton growers of:
(a) the approved varieties; however, varieties approved in accordance with Article 171aa after that date must be notified to the growers before 15 March in the same year;
(b) the criteria for authorising land;
(c) the minimum cotton plant density referred to in Article 171ab;
(d) the required agronomic practices.
2. Where approval for a variety is withdrawn, the Member States shall inform the growers no later than 31 January for the purposes of the following year’s sowing season.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2009.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 32,036/100 kg.

(3) Marketing of seed of certain varieties would have to be banned in Romania from the date of accession, unless a derogation from those provisions is granted.
(4) In order to enable Romania to take and to implement the measures necessary to ensure that the varieties in question have been accepted in accordance with the principles of the Community system, it should be allowed to postpone for a period of three years following the date of accession, the application of Directive 2002/53/EC with regard to the marketing in its territory of seed of the varieties that are listed in its catalogue in accordance with principles other than those of that Directive and that are covered by the Romanian official request of 28 September 2006.
(5) 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,
By way of derogation from Articles 4(1), 7 and 11 of Directive 2002/53/EC Romania may postpone, for a period of three years following the date of accession, the application of that Directive with regard to the marketing in its territory of seed of the varieties listed in the Annex to this Decision.
During that period, such seed shall only be marketed in the territory of Romania. Any label or document, official or otherwise, which is affixed to or accompanies the seed lot under the provisions of this Decision shall clearly indicate that the seed is intended to be marketed exclusively in the territory of Romania.
This Decision shall apply subject to and as from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/572/EC(2), and in particular Articles 19 and 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Classical swine fever is one of the most serious pig diseases, which has caused very serious economic losses in the Community in the last decade. Cases of classical swine fever in feral pigs have been reported in several Member States in the last years. In many circumstances the control of the disease has been difficult and classical swine fever has spread from the feral to the domestic pig population.
(2) The gathering and exchange of epidemiological information on classical swine fever in the feral pig population in the Member States is of fundamental importance to establish the appropriate measures for controlling the disease in this population and verifying their efficacy.
(3) Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever(3) establishes rules on the collection of information in relation to classical swine fever in feral pigs. Further rules may be established according to Comitology procedures.
(4) The Bundesforschungsanstalt f端r Viruskrankheiten der Tiere, Institut f端r Epidemiologie, Wusterhausen, Germany, is in the process of establishing a digital database for the collection and exchange of epidemiological information via the Internet on classical swine fever in feral pigs. This database will be shared with other Member States in order to verify its validity as a tool to control the disease.
(5) A financial contribution should be granted for that project, as it may contribute to the development of Community legislation on classical swine fever and to a better control of the disease.
(6) Under Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(4), veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules are financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund; for financial control purposes, Articles 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 apply.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The Community shall grant Germany financial assistance for its project of establishing a digital database for the gathering and exchange of epidemiological information on classical swine fever in feral pigs at the Bundesforschungsanstalt f端r Viruskrankheiten der Tiere, Institut f端r Epidemiologie, Wusterhausen, Germany, as presented by Germany.
2. The following conditions must be fulfilled:
(a) The data base must be established and made available to all Member States at their request on 30 June 2003 at the latest;
(b) Germany must forward a technical and financial report to the Commission on 30 September 2003 at the latest, the financial report being conform to the model set out in the Annex and accompanied by supporting documents justifying evidence as to the costs incurred and the results attained.
1. The Community's financial assistance granted to Germany for the project referred to in Article 1 shall cover the costs incurred for staff and the purchase of hardware and software and shall not exceed EUR 50000.
2. The Community's financial assistance shall be paid as follows:
(a) 70 % by way of an advance at the request of Germany;
(b) the balance following presentation of the reports and supporting documents referred to Article 1(2)(b).

Whereas:
(1) Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1) (basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) In May 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 769/2002(2), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China (the PRC). The duties took the form of a specific duty.
2. Initiation
(2) On 30 October 2002, the Commission announced by a notice of initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) the initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports into the Community of coumarin originating in the PRC.
(3) The review was initiated on the initiative of the Commission in order to examine the appropriateness of the measures in force. The current measure, i.e. a duty in the form of a specific duty, does not cater for situations in which imported goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation.
3. Investigation
(4) The Commission officially advised exporting producers, the importers and the users known to be concerned and their associations, the representatives of the exporting country concerned and the Community producers about the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(5) Two importers made their views known in writing.
(6) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of the appropriateness of the measures in force.
B. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
(7) Article 145 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of the Community Customs Code(4) provides, for the determination of the customs value, an apportioning of the price actually paid or payable in situations where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation.
(8) In order to avoid that an excessive amount of anti-dumping duty is levied, the specific duty should, in case of damaged goods, be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable. According to the well-established rules set out by the Community Customs Code, the customs value is reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
(9) No interested party submitted any comments or arguments against this proposal.
(10) It is therefore concluded that, in the absence of any substantiated argument from interested parties, in cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value, the specific duty should be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 769/2002:
"3. In cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 145 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the amount of the anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of the amounts set above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that reference prices valid for the Union may be fixed each year, by product category, for products that are the subject of a tariff suspension under Article 28(1). The same holds for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.
(2) Pursuant to Article 29(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for the products listed in Annex I, Parts A and B to that Regulation, is to be the same as the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 20(1) of that Regulation.
(3) The Union withdrawal prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2011 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EU) No 122/2011 (2).
(4) Pursuant to Article 29(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation is to be established in particular on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the 3 years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.
(5) There is no need to fix reference prices for those products falling under the criteria laid down in Art. 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 which are imported from third countries in insignificant volumes.
(6) In order to allow a swift application of the reference prices in the year 2011, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The reference prices for the 2011 fishing year of fishery products, as referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

31993D0683 | 93/683/EEC: Council Decision of 29 October 1993 introducing a Community system of information on home and leisure accidents
| COUNCIL DECISION of 29 October 1993 introducing a Community system of information on home and leisure accidents (93/683/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 (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the establishment of a Community system of information on home and leisure accidents forms a component part of a consumer protection policy; whereas its importance in this respect can be seen from the fact that the data collected in pursuance of the demonstration project set up by Decision 86/138/EEC (4) are being put to specific uses by several Member States for the adoption of measures in the area of product safety;
Whereas the completion of the internal market has increased the circulation of products within the Community; whereas, in order to identify the products involved in accidents and the combination of circumstances which might lead to these accidents, it is desirable for national authorities to have sufficiently homogeneous instruments so that the conclusions of one Member State can, where appropriate, be used for other Member States as well as at Community level;
Whereas, although the management of consumer safety is primarily the responsibility of each Member State, Community financial involvement can help the Member States to overcome the problems of the actual collection of data at national level; whereas the Commission must therefore provide coordination and contribute to the homogeneous implementation of activities conducted at national level by promoting the dissemination of information on home and leisure accidents to all the competent authorities;
Whereas a Community framework and Community financial assistance are necessary to avoid major distortions, since a number of Member States would not have the necessary resources to obtain by themselves the data on home and leisure accidents which help to establish a policy on consumer protection;
Whereas steps should be taken to ensure the overall quality of the data by the use of homogeneous basic methods and, in the context of the internal market and Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety (5) to make it possible for all Member States to collect the information needed for the monitoring of the products involved in accidents; whereas such data must normally be obtained from hospital casualty departments, but alternative sources may be accepted under certain conditions;
Whereas the Community aspects of the collection of data oblige the Member States to use a homogeneous methodology for the collection and production of information for transmission to the Commission; whereas this constraint is not disproportionate to the objective pursued; whereas, by its very nature, this system is not appropriate to serve as statistical proof, a fact which should be pointed out each time the system is referred to;
Whereas the provision of specific information by the Member States, at the Commission's request, on products or groups of products involved in accidents is necessary for the development of a Community policy on product safety;
Whereas the Member States must also be in a position to make a summary report to the Commission; whereas the conclusions drawn by the Member States in those reports should make it possible for the Commission, in concert with the Member States, to determine what action should be taken at Community level;
Whereas, finally, the introduction of an information system on home and leisure accidents appears, under these conditions, to be necessary at Community level, to support and complement the policy carried out by the Member States in this important area to achieve a high level of consumer protection and it does not exceed what is necessary to promote the prevention of such accidents; it is therefore consonant with the principle of subsidiarity;
Whereas an amount of ECU 2,5 million is estimated necessary to finance such a system during 1993; whereas this amount should come within the existing Community financial framework;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. A Community system of information on home and leisure accidents, hereinafter referred to as 'the system', is hereby set up for a period of one year; the specifications and operating procedures of the system shall be as set out in Annex I.
2. The system's objectives shall be to collect data on home and leisure accidents with a view to promoting accident prevention, improving the safety of consumer products and informing and educating consumers so that they make better use of products.
3. This Decision shall not apply to industrial accidents, nor to road, rail, sea or air traffic accidents.
1. Member States shall be responsible for implementing the system. They shall process directly the data collected and submit to the Commission a report containing summaries and evaluations at national level of the results obtained, and the conclusions they draw from those results.
2. Member States shall supply the Commission, at its request, with available data on the safety of certain products, or specific categories of products, involved in home and leisure accidents and the circumstances surrounding such accidents.
3. Member States shall designate the authority or authorities responsible for the collection and transmission of such data and shall inform the Commission of the names and addresses of those authorities.
4. In the interests of transparency in the use of Community funds, each Member State shall ensure appropriate publication of the report referred to in paragraph 1.
1. The Commission shall promote compatibility of the methodologies applied in the Member States, paying particular attention to improving the homogeneity of the data definitions and classifications and also with regard to the data-collection basis and the national reports on the processing of the data.
2. The Commission shall help finance implementation of the system in the Member States, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Annex II.
3. The Commission shall process, summarize and publish the data received from the Member States and shall disseminate them in an appropriate manner at Community level.
It shall draw up a report in cases where the data supplied by the Member States are, in its opinion, incompatible with the methodology and the operating procedures referred to in Annex I or where the Member States have failed to supply the data referred to in Article 2 (1) and (2).
1. The Commission and the Member States shall ensure that, in the course of the collection and forwarding of information, all identifying details or those which enable identities to be deduced are removed so that the identities of victims remain confidential.
2. Any referenced use of data in the Member States in official publications shall be accompanied by the following statement: 'The Community system of information on home and leisure accidents provides only general indications and cannot be regarded as statistical proof of the safety or lack of safety of a given product.'
The Community financial resources estimated necessary for implementing the system shall be ECU 2,5 million for 1993.
The amount shall fall within the current financial perspective.
The budget authority shall determine the appropriations available taking into account the principles of sound management referred to in Article 2 of the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities.
The Commission shall draw up a final report on the implementation and effectiveness of the system as soon as possible after 31 December 1993.
In drawing up its report, the Commission shall take due account of experience gained from previous assessments and pay particular attention to the following:
- the timeliness, quality and comparability of the data provided by the Member States,
- the need to adjust existing codes and to adopt new codes and common coding principles, taking into account the increasing number of new products,
- the ease of access to information,
- the enhanced value of the data to the Member States and the Community,
- the distribution of hospitals between the Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas, after having examined all possibilities for re-allocating appropriations under heading 1b, it appears necessary to mobilise the flexibility instrument to complement the financing in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, beyond the ceiling of heading 1b, of EUR 89 330 000 towards the financing of the Cypriot Structural Funds programmes to grant an additional allocation from the Structural Funds to Cyprus for the year 2014 by a total amount of EUR 100 000 000,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 89 330 000 in commitment appropriations in heading 1b.
That amount shall be used to complement the financing of the Cypriot Structural Funds programmes under heading 1b.

derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the prohibition to fish above protected habitats and the minimum distance from the coast and depth for the ‘gangui’ trawlers fishing in certain territorial waters of France (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Articles 4(5) and 13(5) and (10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits fishing with trawl nets, dredges, purse seines, boat seines, shore seines or similar nets above seagrass beds of, in particular, Posidonia oceanica or other marine phanerogams.
(2) The Commission may allow a derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that the conditions set out in Article 4(5) are fulfilled.
(3) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached at a shorter distance from the coast.
(4) At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and(9) are fulfilled.
(5) On 18 May 2011 the Commission received a request from France for a derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 4(1), from the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) and from Article 13(2) of that Regulation, for the use of ‘gangui’ trawlers in certain sea areas situated within the territorial waters of France, above seagrass beds of Posidonia oceanica and within 3 nautical miles from the coast, irrespective of the depth.
(6) France provided up-to-date scientific and technical justifications for the derogations.
(7) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) assessed the derogation requested by France and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 11 to 15 July 2011.
(8) The derogations requested by France comply with the conditions laid down in Article 4(5) and in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(9) The request concerns fishing activities by vessels of less than or equal to 12 meters overall length and engine power of less than or equal to 85 kW with bottom towed nets traditionally undertaken on Posidonia beds, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(10) The fishing activities concerned affect approximately 27,5 % of the area covered by seagrass beds of Posidonia oceanica within the area covered by the management plan and 9 % of seagrass beds in the territorial waters of France, in line with the requirements of points (ii) and (iii) of the first subparagraph of Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(11) There are specific geographical constraints given the limited size of the continental shelf.
(12) The fishery has no significant impact on marine environment.
(13) The derogation requested by France affects a limited number of only 36 vessels.
(14) The fishery conducted with ‘gangui’ trawlers target a wide variety of species which correspond to an ecological niche; the catch composition of this fishery, in particular as regards the number of species caught, is not reflected in any other fishing gear. Therefore, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears.
(15) The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, as fishing authorisations will be issued only to specified 36 vessels involving a total effort of 1 745 kW that are already authorised to fish by France.
(16) The request covers vessels with a track record in the fishery of more than five years and which operate under a management plan adopted by France on 15 April 2014 (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(17) Those vessels are included on a list communicated to the Commission in line with the requirements of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(18) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of Article 4, Article 8(1)(h) and Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(19) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the recording requirements set out in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).
(20) The fishing activities concerned do not interfere with the activities of vessels using gears other than trawls, seines or similar towed nets.
(21) The activity of ‘gangui’ trawlers is regulated in the French management plan to ensure that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal.
(22) ‘Gangui’ trawlers do not target cephalopods.
(23) The French management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, as provided for in the fifth subparagraph of Article 4(5) and in the third subparagraph of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.
(24) The requested derogations should therefore be granted.
(25) France should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the French management plan.
(26) A limitation in duration of the derogation should be established in order to allow prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission shows a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.
(27) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Derogations
Articles 4(1) and 13(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply in territorial waters of France adjacent to the coast of the Provence-Alpes- Côte d'Azur region to ‘gangui’ trawlers:
(a) bearing the registration number mentioned in the French management plan;
(b) having a track record in the fishery of more than five years and not involving any future increase in the fishing effort deployed; and

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (6), was repealed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (7); whereas, as a result, all references to MCAs in the Regulations concerned should be deleted;
Whereas under the aforementioned tendering procedures the fixing in advance of monetary compensatory amounts ensured, up to the time they were abolished, that the cereals in question were actually exported from the Member State for which a particular intervention measure was implemented; whereas their abolition makes it necessary to restrict the use of export licences to exports from the Member State in which the licence was applied for;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 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 a policy in respect of transport rates constitutes an important aspect of the common transport policy, which the Treaty provides for the Council to establish;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3568/83 of 1 December 1983 on the fixing of rates for the carriage of goods by road between Member States (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1991/88 (5), expires on 31 December 1989 and whereas it stipulates in Article 20 that the Council must decide, on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, on the subsequent arrangements applicable to the rates for such carriage;
Whereas the free fixing of rates for the carriage of goods by road is the tariff system best suited to the creation of the free transport market as decided upon by the Council, to internal market objectives and to the need for a tariff system applied uniformly throughout the Community; whereas this tariff system is also well suited to the specific situation of the sector concerned;
Whereas it should be possible to monitor haulage rate trends,
This Regulation shall apply to the carriage of goods by road between Member States for hire and reward even if, at the time of such carriage operations, part of the journey is performed:
— in transit through a third country, or
— by a road vehicle which is carried by another means of transport, without intermediate reloading of the goods.
With effect from 1 January 1990 the rates for the carriage operations referred to in Article 1 shall be set by free agreement between the parties to the haulage contract.
1. With a view to introduction of the definitive system for observation of haulage markets, haulage undertakings, forwarding agents, freight brokers and other transport agents shall be required to communicate, to the competent authorities of their Member State upon the latter's request, any information concerning the rates charged for the international carriage of goods by road.

| Council Regulation (EC) No 487/2004
of 11 March 2004
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) As from 1 May 2004, the European Union will include ten new Member States. The Act of Accession establishes that the new Member States must apply the common trade policy concerning textiles and that the quantitative restrictions applied by the Community on imports of textile and clothing products are to be adjusted to take account of the accession. The quantitative restrictions applicable to imports of certain textile products from third countries into the enlarged Community should consequently be adjusted so as to cover imports into the 10 new Member States. This necessitates amendments to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries(1).
(2) In the interests of preventing the enlargement of the Community from having restrictive effects on trade, it is appropriate, when amending the quantities, to use a methodology which takes into account, for the purpose of adjusting the new quota levels, the traditional levels and patterns of imports into the 10 new Member States. A formula consisting of the average of the last three years' imports into the 10 new Member States originating in third countries, adjusted pro rata temporis, would provide an appropriate reflection of these historic flows. The years 2000 to 2002 have been selected as the most significant, as they represent the latest available information about the 10 new Member States' imports in textiles and clothing.
(3) Accordingly, Annexes V and VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should be amended to list quota levels applicable from the date of the enlargement, namely 1 May 2004.
(4) The quotas applicable to Vietnam should be those listed in the bilateral textile agreement between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, initialled on 15 February 2003 and approved by Decision 2003/453/EC(2), pending compliance by Vietnam with the market access commitments under that agreement.
(5) All provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should be reformulated to apply to imports into the 10 new Member States; consequently, the initials of the new Member States should be inserted in Annex III.
(6) In order to enable certain operations to take place, it is necessary to insert into Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 a transitional rule whereby textile products whose importation into the Community is otherwise subject to quantitative limits or surveillance, and which are shipped into the Community prior to 1 May 2004 but which enter the ten new Member States on or after 1 May 2004, will qualify for import authorisations that are granted automatically.
(7) In order to provide legal cover for the operations in question, it is necessary to insert into Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 a transitional rule whereby textile products which are shipped prior to 1 May 2004 from the acceding Member States out of the Community for processing, and which are re-imported into the 10 new Member States on or after 1 May 2004, are exempt from quantitative limits or presentation of an import authorisation.
(8) Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph shall be added to Article 2:
"9. The release for free circulation in one of the 10 new Member States acceding to the European Union on 1 May 2004, namely Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, of textile products which are subject to quantitative limits or to surveillance in the Community and which have been shipped before 1 May 2004 and enter the 10 new Member States on or after 1 May 2004 shall be subject to presentation of an import authorisation. Such import authorisation shall be granted automatically and without quantitative limitation by the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, upon adequate proof, such as the bill of lading, that the products have been shipped before 1 May 2004.
Such licences shall be communicated to the Commission.";
2. the following subparagraph shall be added to Article 5:"The release for free circulation of textile products sent from one of the ten new Member States acceding to the European Union on 1 May 2004 to a destination outside the Community for processing before 1 May 2004, and re-imported into the same Member State on or after that date, shall upon adequate proof, such as the export declaration, not be subject to quantitative limits or import authorisation requirements. The competent authorities of the Member State concerned shall provide information on those imports to the Commission.";
3. in Annex III, the second indent of Article 28(6) shall be replaced by the following:
"- two letters identifying the intended Member State of destination, or group of such Member States, as follows:
- AT= Austria
- BL= Benelux
- CY= Cyprus
- CZ= Czech Republic
- DE= Federal Republic of Germany
- DK= Denmark
- EE= Estonia
- EL= Greece
- ES= Spain
- FI= Finland

- IE= Ireland
- IT= Italy
- LT= Lithuania
- LV= Latvia
- MT= Malta
- PL= Poland

- SK= Slovakia";
4. Annex V shall be replaced by the text set out in Part A of the Annex to this Regulation;
5. in Annex VII, the table shall be replaced by the table set out in Part B of the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 2004.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 74/2002
of 16 January 2002
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 January 2002.

COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3561/84 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82, the importation of textile products originating in Yugoslavia was made subject to quantitative limitation and allocation among the Member States and to common rules for authorization;
Whereas trade fairs are to be held, as in previous years, in Berlin in 1985 at which Yugoslavia among other exporting countries is expected to participate; whereas the existing shares of Community quotas allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany may again be insufficient to meet the requirements of the trade fairs;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to open supplementary quotas for the Berlin Trade Fairs and to allocate these to the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas it is desirable that import authorizations should be issued in accordance with the requirements on origin specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee 'Yugoslavia' set up by Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82,
In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82, supplementary quotas as set out in the Annex hereto shall be opened in respect of the Berlin Trade Fairs to be held in 1985 and shall be allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany.
1. The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize imports, not exceeding the supplementary quotas referred to in Article 1, only in respect of such contracts signed in Berlin during the Berlin Trade Fair as are recognized by those authorities as being eligible, provided that products covered by such approved contracts are placed on board for exportation to the Federal Republic of Germany in Yugoslavia after 1 November 1985.
2. The period of validity of import authorizations or equivalent documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not extend beyond 31 December 1986.
3. The Commission shall be informed not later than 31 December 1985 of the total quantities covered by contracts authorized under paragraph 1.
Importation of the textile products covered by authorization given in accordance with Article 2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC (2), and in particular the third sentence of Article 21 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (3), as last amended by Directive 80/1141/EEC, and in particular the third sentence of Article 32 (2) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 21 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC and Article 32 (1) of Directive 70/458/EEC, the Council shall determine, on a proposal from the Commission, whether the checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in non-member countries afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Memberr States;
Whereas, by Decision 78/476/EEC (4), as amended by Decision 83/495/EEC (5), the Council has determined the equivalence of those checks as regards a number of non-member countries;
Whereas, taking into account the fact that the information available did not enable this question to be determined as regards other non-member countries, and in order to prevent certain Member States' traditional trade patterns from being disturbed, Commission Decision 81/888/EEC (6), as last amended by Decision 83/525/EEC (7), extended the periods provided for in Article 21 (2) of Directive 70/457/EEC and in Article 32 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC as regards checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties until 30 June 1985; whereas that extension was, however, limited to the varieties which had already been accepted or entered for acceptance before 1 January 1984 in the Member State making use of the authorization;
Whereas information presently available has now enabled this question to be determined as regards varieties maintained in Australia, but not yet as regards Austria, Switzerland and Israel in respect of agricultural and vegetable species, as regards Czechoslovakia, Chile, Japan and Yugoslavia in respect of agricultural species, and as regards the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Poland in respect of vegetable species;
Whereas, for the abovementioned reasons and under the same conditions, the periods provided for in Article 21 (2) of Directive 70/457/EEC and in Article 32 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC should therefore be extended once again as regards the aforementioned non-member countries; whereas this extension must be limited to the varieties which have been accepted or entered for acceptance before 1 January 1986 in the Member State making use of the authorization;
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,
Article 1 of Decision 81/888/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In paragraph 1,
'Australia' is deleted and
'30 June 1985' is replaced by '30 June 1988';
2. In paragraph 2,
'Australia' is deleted and

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,
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 Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 27 November 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Lazio fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 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 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, 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 region of Lazio in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 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 Italy.
The priorities are as follows:
- improvements to the environment;
- improvements to material and non-material networks;
- development of local systems;
- improving the competitiveness of firms;
- 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, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section 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, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
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 918116815 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 371522892.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 473950858 from the public sector and EUR 72643065 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 371522892. 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. The total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: EUR 371522892.
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, or by 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 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 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 27 November 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. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the areas receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 (2) covers the products falling into the scope of the tender procedure for fixing export refunds. It appears that applications for export licences for butter with a fat content of 80 % are negligible. For the sake of simplification it is appropriate to abolish the procedure for such products.
(2) By way of derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 provides that export licences obtained under the tender procedure are not transferable. With a view to simplification and to facilitate the trade under the procedure, that derogation should be withdrawn.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 (4) should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) natural butter in blocks of at least 20 kilograms net weight falling under product code ex ex 0405 10 19 9700;’.
2. In Article 7, paragraph 2 is deleted.
3. Point 2 of the Annex is deleted.
In Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 581/2004, point (a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) natural butter in blocks of at least 20 kilograms net weight falling under product code ex ex 0405 10 19 9700;’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(2) shall apply on licences issued as from its entry into force.

Whereas on 12 May 1982 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded a programme for the animal breeding and insemination sector in the Land of Bavaria, providing supplementary information on 14 December 1982;
Whereas the section of the programme dealing with insemination, and in particular the construction of buildings to house breeding animals, does not concern the processing and marketing of agricultural products within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the part of the programme dealing with animal breeding provides for the creation and improvement of facilities for marketing breeding animals, in particular the construction of new auction arenas, with the aim of giving livestock farmers in Bavaria access to high-quality breeding animals for improving stock in Bavaria and of assuring animal breeders a reliable income; whereas this part constitutes a programme as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the programme contains the details required under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the abovementioned sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the programme does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;
Whereas the question under what conditions the common action initiated by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 will be continued beyond the date laid down in Article 16 (1) of the said Regulation remains open; whereas it is therefore appropriate to limit approval of the programme to applications referred to in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question.

(notified under document number C(2007) 2096)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/356/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes trichlorfon.
(3) For trichlorfon the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those regulations designate the Rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For trichlorfon the Rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted on 23 August 2004.
(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 12 May 2006 in the format of the EFSA Conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance trichlorfon (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 29 September 2006 in the format of the Commission review report for trichlorfon.
(5) Due to significant lack of supporting studies, it has not been possible to demonstrate a safe use of the substance. Based on the available information it was not possible to perform the risk assessment of consumers, operators, workers and bystanders exposure. Moreover, the evaluation of fate and behaviour of the substance in the environment was limited and its eco-toxicological properties were not completely assessed.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments within four weeks on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments advanced, the above concerns remained unsolved, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing trichlorfon satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Trichlorfon should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing trichlorfon are withdrawn within a prescribed period and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing trichlorfon allowed by Member States, should be limited to a period no longer than twelve months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for trichlorfon according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Trichlorfon shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing trichlorfon are withdrawn by 21 November 2007;
(b) from 25 May 2007 no authorisations for plant protection products containing trichlorfon are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire not later than 21 November 2008.

of 16 March 2010
on the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) for the establishment of the gross national income (GNI) used for the purposes of the European Union’s budget and its own resources
(2010/196/EU, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 2(7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 448/98 of 16 February 1998 completing and amending Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 with respect to the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) within the European system of national and regional accounts (ESA) (2) provides that the decision to allocate FISIM for the establishment of the gross national product used for the purposes of the Community’s budget and its own resources shall be adopted by the Council. With effect from 1 January 2002 the concept of gross national product was replaced by the concept of gross national income (GNI), pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 2(7) of Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (3).
(2) The second subparagraph of Article 2(7) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom provides that where modifications to the European system of national and regional accounts (ESA 95) result in significant changes in the GNI as provided by the Commission, the Council shall decide whether those modifications shall apply for the purposes of that Decision.
(3) It is appropriate to use the most recent statistical concepts for the purposes of the Union’s budget and its own resources, in particular as far as the establishment of the GNI as provided by the Commission in application of ESA 95 is concerned. FISIM should therefore be allocated for the establishment of the GNI for the purposes of the Union’s budget and its own resources.
(4) By October 2008, all EU-27 Member States had transmitted their data including on FISIM allocation according to the new methodology. The assessment of those data indicated that the allocation of FISIM results in a significant change in the sense of the second subparagraph of Article 2(7) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom since it increases GNI by more than 1 % on average and implies, when applying the method described in Article 3 of that Decision, a change in the ceilings set by Article 3.
(5) Therefore the allocation of FISIM should apply for the purposes of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom.
(6) It is deemed appropriate that the ensuing changes apply as from the financial year 2010,
Financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) shall be allocated for the establishment of the gross national income for the purposes of the Union’s budget and its own resources.
The allocation of FISIM pursuant to Article 1 shall apply for the purposes of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom from 1 January 2010.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Commission Decision 93/242/EEC of 30 April 1993 concerning the importation into the Community of certain live animals and their products originating from certain European countries in relation to foot-and-mouth disease (3), as last amended by Decision 96/730/EC (4), provides for the prohibition of the importation of live animals of susceptible species from and through certain countries including the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; whereas this Decision allows, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh meat and certain meat products from and through these countries;
Whereas the authorities of Greece have officially requested the Commission to allow for transit of live animals through the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; whereas, with a view to support a favourable Commission proposal, Greece has provided information regarding the administrative procedures and veterinary checks to be carried out on animals arriving into Greece through these two countries;
Whereas no outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease have been recorded since August 1996 in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and since July 1996 in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
Whereas Council Decision 79/542/EEC (5) as last amended by Commission Decision 97/736/EC (6), draws up a list of third countries from which Member States authorize imports of bovine animals, swine, equidae, sheep and goats, fresh meat and meat products;
Whereas, therefore, the animal health situation makes it possible to amend Decision 93/242/EEC in order to allow for transit of live animals through the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 93/242/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2, the following paragraph is added:
'3. In derogation to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2:
(a) it is permitted for Member States to send live animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine and other biungulate species to Greece via the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
(b) it is permitted for a Member State to receive animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine and other biungulate species coming from other Member States and from a third country on the list referred to in Decision 79/542/EEC, via the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
(c) a Member State receiving live animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine and other biungulate species which have been transported via the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall ensure that the animals have passed the veterinary border inspection posts situated in Tomba (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) or in Prescevo (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) and Evzony in Greece.`

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 of 24 July 1986 establishing a Community vineyard register(1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
After consulting the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 states that the Community is to contribute 50 % of the actual cost of establishing the Community vineyard register in the Member States and of the investment in data-processing facilities needed to manage the register.
(2) An advance has been paid to Italy on the basis of Article 9(3) of that Regulation. It will be deducted from the total amount of the Community contribution.
(3) Article 9(4) of the Regulation provides that Articles 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999(2) apply to the Community financing for establishing the register.
(4) Italy has sent the Commission the documents needed to decide on the amount to be defrayed as expenditure incurred in establishing the register.
(5) The Commission has carried out the checks provided for in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999.
(6) In the light of checks carried out, some of the expenditure declared by Italy does not meet the requirements in the rules and may not therefore be financed by the Community.
(7) The deadline for establishing the register in Italy was 31 December 1998. Expenditure on work completed after that date should therefore be excluded from Community financing.
(8) A breakdown of the amounts to be defrayed and the amounts to be excluded on grounds of failure to comply with Community rules was sent to Italy on 7 August 2003,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1),
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 738/92 (2) and in particular Article 1 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. Previous procedure
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 738/92, imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of cotton yarn falling within CN codes 5205 11 00 to 5205 45 90 and 5206 11 00 to 5206 45 90 originating, inter alia, in Turkey. Sampling was applied to Turkish exporters, and individual duties ranging from 4,9 % to 12,1 % were imposed on the companies in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample received a weighted average duty of 9 %. A duty of 12,1 % was imposed on companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate in the investigation.
B. New exporters' review request
(2) The Commission received applications for a new exporters' review of the duties currently applicable to two Turkish companies Abalioglu AS and Kipas AS, which claimed that they were not related to any of the exporters or producers subject to the anti-dumping measures, and that they had not exported the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the measures were based. Furthermore, the companies claimed that they had actually exported the product to the Community after the abovementioned investigation period.
(3) Abalioglu AS and Kipas AS provided, on request, evidence which was considered sufficient to prove that the requirements established in Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`) to qualify for a new exporters' review had been fulfilled. Since sampling was used in the investigation which was concluded by Regulation (EEC) No 738/92, the request for a review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation could not be accepted. However, the evidence provided by these companies is sufficient to allow Regulation (EEC) No 738/92 to be amended pursuant to Article 1 (6) of that Regulation, in order to make these exporters subject to the duty imposed by Article 1 (2) of that Regulation,
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 738/92 is hereby amended as follows:
- under paragraph 2 (b) the following shall be added at the end of the text:
'Abalioglu AS 9,0 % (Taric additional code 8569)`
'Kipas AS 9,0 % (Taric additional code 8569).`

After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
THE FACTS
The parties
(1) Ford New Holland Limited, which is currently a subsidiary of Fiat Geotech Tecnologie per la Terra SpA, was, at the time of the Statement of Objections, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company Limited, itself a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company. On 1 January 1987 i assumed responsibility for the Ford Motor Company Limited's tractor operations within the United Kingdom, together with the harvesting machinery activities of New Holland Ltd, formerly Sperry New Holland. The Ford group of companies distributed tractors within the Community, first through Ford Motor Company Limited, and then through Ford New Holland Limited, and through a number of other subsidiary companies, established within most Member States, or, exceptionally, through independent importers and dealers under contract to a company within the group. Hereafter, unless the context requires the identification of a particular subsidiary or division, these will be referred to as 'Ford'.
The Product
(2) This Decision concerns tractors which, almost exclusively, are sold for agricultural use.
The position of the parties
(3) Ford was one of the largest manufacturers of agricultural tractors in the world. Within the Community it had, in 1987, a market share of 9 % and in the UK one of 29 %. Ford's group turnover, worldwide, was US$ 92 445 million.
Ford's distribution system
(4) Ford distributed tractors through a network of exclusive dealers appointed, in almost all cases, by the national Ford subsidiary. Since the adoption of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 123/85 of 12 December 1984 on the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to certain categories of motor vehicle distribution and servicing agreements (3), Ford had been adapting the terms of its contracts for tractor dealers so as to conform to the conditions of that Regulation and had claimed that its distribution system was thus exempt by virtue of that Regulation. Ford has, since, modified these contracts to conform with the conditions of Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83 (4).
The proceedings
(5) From 29 October 1964, Ford had submitted a number of notifications of selective distribution contracts requesting either negative clearance or an exemption pursuant to Article 85 (3). In 1982, the Commission began to receive complaints, both formal and informal, of interference on Ford's part with parallel trade in tractors from other tractor manufacturers/importers. The Commission began to investigate Ford in 1985, with a request for information under Article 11 of Regulation No 17 in January, followed by investigations pursuant to Article 14 of that Regulation in Ford's Basildon tractor plant in the UK in March, Ford's Belgian subsidiary in June and Ford's Dutch subsidiary in July of that year.
In parallel, the Commission had obtained information from other manufacturers, from trade associations and from dealers or purchasers of tractors which throw light on Ford's conduct. The Commission had already, on 11 November 1988, issued a Statement of Objections concerning a UK tractor registration exchange (ref. IV/31.370 and IV/31.466) addressed, among others, to Ford; this sought to condemn Ford for its participation in the exchange, and for the use made by the members, including Ford, for the purpose of tracing parallel imports, of the registration documents made available to the exchange by the registration authorities for its statistical purposes. In its response dated 31 January 1989 to that Statement of Objections, Ford argued that the parallel import issue had nothing to do with the activities of the exchange. Ford asked, repeating this request at the hearing held in April 1989, that the Commission treat, if indeed it planned to treat at all, the parallel import question separately with each individual company. On 12 June 1990, the Commission addressed a Statement of Objections to Ford New Holland Limited in the present case which did deal with Ford's use of registration documents, as does the present Decision (it is not, however, concerned with the operation of the exchange itself). On 31 July 1990 Ford replied to the Statement of Objections. Fiat Geotech Technologie per la Terra SpA, the new owner of Ford New Holland Limited, has since waived, by letter dated 19 September 1991, the right to an oral hearing.
Economic background
(6) The price levels of tractors in the various Member States have traditionally been different; for example, the UK had traditionally high prices. Currency fluctuations have, from time to time, caused price levels to differ; such fluctuations have been sufficient to cause the price levels in States with traditionally high prices to be, from time to time, lower than in neighbouring States. In the years prior to the Commission's investigations, Ford's prices in the UK were 20 to 30 % higher than in continental Europe. The different Ford subsidiaries had, from time to time, offered special prices or discounts. For all of these reasons, farmers or dealers had, from time to time, found it advantageous to buy from or sell into a different Member State. It is understood that Ford had, more recently, sought to equalize its prices in different currencies in order to avoid the problems differing price levels cause.
Ford's reaction to parallel trade
(7) Ford attempted to prevent dealers selling to customers in, or buying from, another Member State.
(8) To this end, Ford established systems for the identification of parallel imports and the tracing of their sources. In the UK this made great use of the Government's vehicle registration documents that were made available to the trade association for statistical purposes - copies of these registration documents, for example, were found in Ford's Belgian offices. Ford also encouraged dealers to report parallel imports, obtained such information through the dealers' associations, from farmers, and even inspected tractors on the farm and die-stamped a secret number on them for the purpose of identification.
(9) Either in reaction to a particular traced parallel trade, or generally, Ford told dealers that such trade was undesirable. In a letter dated 20 February 1979 written by Ford's zone manager for the north of England and Northern Ireland to his superiors, he assured them that on his next visit to Northern Ireland he would inform dealers of the problems created by tractors 'shipped across the border' and 'ask them to be careful not to sell to farmers from the south'. Ford threatened to cancel the dealerships of exporting dealers. Ford delayed delivery when an export was expected, as is shown in a letter written from Ford Nederland to Ford Motor Company Ltd in May 1981; it stated that Ford Nederland would delay delivery of nine tractors that it discovered were to be exported to the UK, since its legal counsel advised it that it would have lost the lawsuit threatened by the jobber if Ford Nederland had persisted in not honouring the order previously accepted. Ford charged higher prices or reclaimed discounts; it made discounts conditional on registration within the territory or on the purchaser retaining and using his purchased vehicle; it refused warranties or suggested that dealers refuse them. In a letter dated 15 May 1981, addressed to all agricultural tractor main dealers and open-territory retail dealers, for example, it was stated 'a warranty issued by Ford Motor Company Limited is only available on tractors purchased through an authorized Ford Tractor Dealer. Some unauthorized importers would appear to be offering "warranty insurance" and it is therefore advisable that farmers should verify the terms carefully because some warranty insurance policies have important exclusion clauses'. Ford sought to profit from differing safety regulations or to render the use of a parallel import illegal by refusing operating manuals in the importer's language. The letter of 15 May 1981 went on to state that 'the provision of an operator manual in English is a legal requirement in the UK and obviously this does not come with a tractor originally sold to another country unless the unauthorized importer can make special arrangements'. The Commission's evidence for these facts runs from 1964 until 1985, with the greater number of documents dating from 1976 to 1985. In spite of the changes made in Ford's distribution contracts (see recital 4 above), in 1990, the staff of some Ford dealers still understood that they were supposed not to accept orders from outside territories and, in particular, not to export.
Extent of these practices
(10) All the then Member States are mentioned in the documents as being involved with the exception of Luxembourg (the investigation took place before the accession of Spain and Portugal). The earliest document concerning parallel trade is dated 13 November 1964.
LEGAL ASSESSMENT
Article 85
(1)
(11) Ford and its dealer customers are undertakings within the meaning of Article 85 (1). The agreements between these parties, as written or applied, constitute agreements between undertakings within the meaning of Article 85 (1).
(12) The facts set out above show that Ford's contractual relations with its customers included a provision not to export or import or allow the export of the products, and other provisions for the hindrance of parallel trade in the products. These were general provisions relating to importing and exporting; they were not restricted to sales to unauthorized dealers which, whether exports or not, were forbidden by the notified dealer contracts. Therefore, these contractual relations constituted restrictions of competition within the meaning of Article 85 (1).
(13) Special mention must be made of discounts dependent on non-export or penalties for exporting. It has been argued that, as the Commission accepts that it is lawful to prohibit active marketing outside an exclusive territory, it would be logical for the Commission to allow rewards for active marketing within.
(14) However, as the Commission has already said in recital 55 of Decision 85/617/EEC in the Sperry New Holland case (5): 'Dealers must have the right to supply farmers from other territories without being penalized by the withdrawal of bonuses. Therefore agreements or practices concerning bonuses which are conditional on the machine not subsequently being exported by the customer, are prohibited. The same rationale might apply to the condition that the machine is registered for use within the territory of the dealer or that the warranty service be completed within that territory'.
(15) Special mention should also be made of national safety legislation. The users of independently imported machinery should, of course, use it both safely and legally. Cooperation between Ford and its local dealers aimed at helping these users, at a reasonable price, to respect national law would have been a proper course of action. Contractual relations between them, however, aimed at exploiting safety regulations so as to discourage such importing constitutes an infringement.
(16) Ford's actions examined above had the object and effect of preventing trade between Member States. There was no justification for Ford's seeking to deny the benefits of free trade to prospective purchasers of its products situated in a State in which the domestic price of its products was higher.
(17) It must be concluded that these contractual relations constitute an infringement of Article 85 (1).
Article 85
(3)
(18) As has been said in recital 4, Ford had been adapting its tractor dealer contracts so that their wording conformed with the conditions of Regulation (EEC) No 123/85, in order to claim benefit from the exemption under Article 85 (3) afforded by that Regulation (but, in 1990 and 1991, modified these contracts to conform with the conditions of Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83) (6). Earlier, Ford had notified a number of these contracts with a view to obtaining individual exemptions. These notifications did not, however, disclose the unwritten provisions of the contractual relations described in recitals 8 and 9 which are not, therefore, covered by those notifications. No exemption under Article 85 (3) could, therefore, have been granted.
Article 3
of Regulation No 17
(19) It appears necessary to condemn these infringements and require Ford so to act that its end users are free, and know that they are free, to buy Ford's products where they choose and that its dealers know that they are free to supply them.
Article 15
(2) of Regulation No 17
(20) Ford's infringement was serious since it impeded competition from which consumers could have derived substantial benefits.
(21) The Commission is, however, aware that its tolerance of the claims by Ford to benefit from the exemption afforded for motor vehicle distribution contracts by Regulation (EEC) No 123/85, even after it had carried out the greater part of its investigation in this case, has contributed to allowing Ford to believe that the tracing and prevention of sales to unauthorized dealers was legitimate.
(22) The Commission also takes into account that the greater bulk of the infringements that have been established relate to a period six or more years ago and recognizes that, for example, the use made of registration documents (recitals 5 and 8) has ceased.
(23) In these exceptional circumstances, and recognizing, in addition, that Ford's new owners now accept that Ford's conduct amounted to an infringement going beyond the limits of the activities described in Ford's various notifications, and are taking vigorous steps to avoid any repetition of these infringements, the Commission feels that it would be inappropriate to impose a fine on Ford,
The contractual relations between Ford New Holland Limited, previously Ford Motor Company Limited, and the other companies within the group, of which the parent company was the Ford Motor Company and which distributed tractors within the Community, that forbade, discouraged or hindered parallel trade in its products constituted an infringement of Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty. Article 2
An exemption under Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty for the arrangements mentioned in Article 1 is hereby refused. Article 3
1. Ford New Holland Limited shall refrain from taking any measure having the same object or effect as those referred to in Article 1.
2. Ford New Holland Limited shall ensure that its resellers are free and know that they are free to sell, if so asked, and the purchasers of its products to buy its products wherever they choose within the Community. Article 4

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 1999/318/CFSP of 10 May 1999, adopted by the Council on the basis of Article 15 of the Treaty on European Union, concerning additional restrictive measures against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia(1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The continued violation by the Governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and of the Republic of Serbia of UN Security Council Resolutions and the pursuance of extreme and criminally irresponsible policies, including repression against its own citizens, constitute serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law;
(2) Flights between the territory of the Community and that of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should therefore be prohibited;
(3) This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty establishing the European Community;
(4) Therefore, and notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary for the implementation of this measure, insofar as the territory of the Community is concerned; such territory is deemed to encompass, for the purposes of this Regulation, the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty establishing the European Community is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty;
(5) There is a need to allow emergency landings and ensuing take-offs, and allow exceptions for flights which serve strictly humanitarian purposes;
(6) There is a need for the Commission and Member States to inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation;
(7) Council Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 of 7 September 1998 concerning a ban on flights of Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community(2), may be repealed since that Regulation prohibits, inter alia, flights by Yugoslav carriers, this being without prejudice to national legislation determining the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of that Regulation have been infringed,
It shall be prohibited to take off from, or land in, the territory of the European Community for:
(a) any aircraft operated, directly or indirectly, by a Yugoslav carrier, that is a carrier having its principal place of business or its registered office in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia;
(b) any aircraft registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; unless lawfully present in the European Community at the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
(c) any civil aircraft, that is an aircraft operated for commercial or private purposes, if it has taken off from, or is destined to land in, the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
1. All operating authorisations for scheduled air services between any point in the territory of the Community and any point in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia are hereby revoked and no new operating authorisations for such services shall be granted.
2. All authorisations for charter flights, whether they be individual or series flights, between any point in the territory of the Community and any point in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia are hereby revoked and no new authorisations for such flights may be granted.
3. No new operating authorisations shall be granted or existing ones renewed enabling aircraft that are either registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or operated by Yugoslav carriers, to fly to or from airports in the Community.
1. Article 1 shall not apply to emergency landings and ensuing take-offs.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 1 and 2, the competent authorities of the Member States may authorise on a case-by-case basis and subject to the consultation procedure of paragraph 3, that civil aircraft take off from, or land in, the territory of the Community, if conclusive evidence is given to these authorities that the flight to or from the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia serves strictly humanitarian purposes.
3. The competent authorities of a Member State which intends to authorise a take off, or landing, in accordance with paragraph 2 shall notify to the competent authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission the grounds on which they intend to authorise the take off or landing concerned.
If, within one working day after the receipt of the said notification, a Member State or the Commission has given notice to the other Member States or the Commission of conclusive evidence that the intended flight will not serve the indicated humanitarian purposes, the Commission will convene within one working day of the said notice a meeting with the Member States in order to consult on the relevant evidence.
The Member State which intends to authorise the take off or landing shall only take a decision with regard to this authorisation when either no objections have been raised or the consultations on the conclusive evidence have taken place at the meeting convened by the Commission. Where an authorisation is granted after such meeting, the Member state concerned shall notify to the other member States and the Commission the grounds on which its decision to authorise has been taken.
Nothing in this Regulation shall be construed as limiting pre-existing rights in respect of aircraft referred to in Article 1 other than rights to land in, or take off from, the territory of the Community.
Participation, knowingly and intentionally, in related activities, the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to circumvent the provisions of Articles 1 and 2 shall be prohibited.
Each Member State shall determine the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed. Such sanctions must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Pending the adoption, where necessary, fo any legislation to this end, the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed shall be those determined by the Member States in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1901/98.
The Commission and the Member States shall inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with any other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, such as breaches and enforcement problems, judgments handed down by national courts or decisions of relevant international fora.
1. The Commission shall estabish a list of the competent authorities referred to in Article 3 on the basis of relevant inforamtion provided by the Member States. The Commission shall publish this list and any changes to it in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
2. The Commission shall establish a list of the aircraft registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which are lawfully present in the European Community in accordance with Article 1(b) on the basis of relevant information provided by the Member States. The Commission shall publish this list in the Official Journal of the European Communties.
Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 shall be repealed and replaced by the provisions of this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 525/2006
of 30 March 2006
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector 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 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation.
(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, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), 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 V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(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) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) 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.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 March 2006.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 on the development of the Community’s railways (1), and in particular Article 14a(3) thereof, as well as to Directive 2001/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2001 on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (2), and in particular Article 33(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 14a of Directive 91/440/EEC and to Article 33 of Directive 2001/14/EC, Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland benefit, due to their specific geographical situation, of derogations from implementing certain provisions of these Directives such as the requirements to entrust to an independent body the functions of determining equitable and non-discriminatory access to infrastructure, to set up an independent regulatory body, provisions related to capacity rights, framework agreements and measures in case of saturation of the rail network as well as other provisions. These derogations expired on 14 March 2008.
(2) Ireland requested an extension of the derogations for a further five years on 13 March 2007 and the United Kingdom made the same request on 14 March 2007.
(3) Based on evidence provided from the concerned Member States the Commission concluded that the specific geographical situation of Ireland and Northern Ireland and, at this stage, the lack of development prospects for rail freight services and international rail passenger services would justify extending the derogations by another five years. In the coming years, the potential cost of complying with the requirements of the Directives covered by the derogations would outweigh the potential benefits of a full implementation of the regulatory framework for a Community-wide market for rail transport services.
(4) Several requests by the Commission for further substantiation of the requests and delays in their provision have led to a delay in the establishment of this Decision. The Decision extending the derogations granted to Ireland and the United Kingdom, in respect of Northern Ireland, should take retroactive effect from 15 March 2008.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Developing European Railways Committee, set up by Article 11a of Directive 91/440/EEC and by Article 35 of Directive 2001/14/EC,
The derogation granted to Ireland and the United Kingdom, in respect of Northern Ireland, referred to in Article 14a(1) of Directive 91/440/EEC is extended until 14 March 2013.
The derogation granted to Ireland and the United Kingdom, in respect of Northern Ireland, referred to in Article 33(1) of Directive 2001/14/EC is extended until 14 March 2013.
This Decision shall apply from 15 March 2008.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 82/2013
of 29 January 2013
laying down detailed rules for the application of an import tariff quota of dried boneless beef originating in Switzerland
(codification)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2092/2004 of 8 December 2004 laying down detailed rules of application for an import tariff quota of dried boneless beef originating in Switzerland (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (4) (‘the Agreement’), which was approved on behalf of the Community by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission (5), provides for duty-free imports of a quantity of 1 200 tonnes per annum for meat of bovine animals, boneless, dried, falling under CN code ex 0210 20 90.
(3) Detailed rules should therefore be laid down on an annual basis for the relevant duty-free import tariff quota.
(4) To be eligible for the benefit of that tariff quota, the products concerned should originate in Switzerland in conformity with the rules referred to in Article 4 of the Agreement. A precise definition of the eligible products should be provided. For reasons of control, imports under that quota should be subject to the presentation of a certificate of authenticity certifying that the meat corresponds exactly to the eligible definition. It is necessary to establish a model for those certificates and lay down detailed rules for their use.
(5) The arrangements should be managed using import licences. To this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6) and from Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 of 21 April 2008 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (7).
(6) In order to ensure the proper management of the imports of the products concerned, provision should be made for import licences to be issued subject to verification, in particular of entries on certificates of authenticity.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. A duty-free Union import tariff quota for dried boneless meat of bovine animals falling within CN code ex 0210 20 90 and originating in Switzerland is opened every year for an annual volume of 1 200 tonnes for periods from 1 January to 31 December (hereinafter ‘the quota’).
The order number of the quota shall be 09.4202.
2. The rules of origin applicable to the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, dried boneless meat shall mean cuts of meat from haunches of bovine animals aged at least 18 months, with no visible intramuscular fat (3 to 7 %) and a pH of the fresh meat between 5,4 and 6,0, salted, seasoned, pressed, dried only in fresh dry air and developing noble mould (bloom of microscopic fungi). The weight of the finished product is between 41 % and 53 % of the raw material before salting.
1. Imports of the quantities set out in Article 1(1) shall be subject to presentation, on release for free circulation, of an import licence.
2. The original of the certificate of authenticity drawn up in accordance with Article 3 plus a copy thereof shall be presented to the competent authority together with the application for the first import licence relating to the certificate of authenticity.
3. A certificate of authenticity may be used for the issuing of more than one import licence for quantities not exceeding that shown on the certificate. Where more than one licence is issued in respect of a certificate, the competent authority shall endorse the certificate of authenticity to show the quantity attributed.
4. The competent authority may issue import licences only after they are satisfied that all the information on the certificate of authenticity corresponds to that received each week from the Commission on the subject. The licences shall be issued immediately thereafter.
However, the competent authority may, in exceptional cases and on duly reasoned application, issue import licences on the basis of the relevant certificates of authenticity before the information from the Commission is received. In such cases, the security for the import licences shall be equal to the amount corresponding to the full customs duty under the common customs tariff. After having received the information relating to the certificate, Member States shall replace this security with that referred to in Article 5(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 382/2008.
5. Section 20 of the licence applications and of the licences themselves shall show one of the entries listed in Annex I.
1. The certificates of authenticity referred to in Article 2 shall be made out in one original and two copies, to be printed and completed in one of the official languages of the Union, in accordance with the model in Annex II. It may also be printed and completed in the official language or one of the official languages of the exporting country.
The competent authorities of the Member State in which the import licence application is submitted may require a translation of the certificate to be provided.
2. The certificate forms shall measure 210 × 297 mm. The paper used shall weigh not less than 40 g/m2. The original shall be white, the first copy pink and the second copy yellow.
3. The original of the certificate and copies thereof may be typed or handwritten. In the latter case, they must be completed in black ink and in block capitals.
4. Each certificate shall have its own individual serial number followed by the name of the issuing country.
The copies shall bear the same serial number and the same name as the original.
5. The definition of dried boneless meat provided for in Article 1(3) shall be clearly laid down in the certificate.
6. Certificates shall be valid only if they are duly endorsed by an issuing authority listed in Annex III.
Certificates shall be deemed to have been duly endorsed if they state the date and place of issue and if they bear the stamp of the issuing authority and the signature of the person or persons empowered to sign them.
1. The issuing authorities listed in Annex III shall:
(a) be recognised as such by Switzerland;
(b) undertake to verify entries on the certificates of authenticity;
(c) undertake to forward to the Commission at least once a week any information enabling the entries on the certificates of authenticity, in particular the number of the certificate, the exporter, the consignee, the country of destination, the product, the net weight and the date of signature, to be verified.
2. The list in Annex III may be revised by the Commission where the requirement referred to in paragraph 1(a) is no longer met or where the issuing authority fails to fulfil any of the obligations incumbent on it.
Certificates of authenticity and import licences shall be valid for three months from their respective dates of issue.
The provisions of Regulations (EC) No 376/2008 and (EC) No 382/2008 and Chapter III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (8) shall apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
The authorities of Switzerland shall communicate to the Commission specimens of the stamp imprints used by the Swiss issuing authorities and the names and signatures of the persons empowered to sign certificates of authenticity. Any subsequent changes of stamps or names shall equally be notified to the Commission as soon as possible. The Commission shall communicate this information to the competent authorities of the Member States.

(a) no later than 28 February following the end of each import tariff quota period, the quantities of products, including nil returns, for which import licences were issued in the previous import tariff quota period;
(b) no later than 30 April following the end of each import tariff quota period, the quantities of products, including nil returns, covered by unused or partly used import licences and corresponding to the difference between the quantities entered on the back of the import licences and the quantities for which they were issued.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission of the details of the quantities of products put into free circulation in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
3. The notifications referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (9) and the product categories indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 shall be used.

again amending Articles 6 and 17 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Lebanese Republic
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Lebanese Republic (1) was signed on 3 May 1977 and entered into force on 1 November 1978;
Whereas Article 6 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the said Agreement (hereinafter referred to as 'the Protocol'), as amended by Decision No 1/81 (2), of the Cooperation Council, provides that, in the case of an automatic change in the base date applicable to the amounts expressed in ECU, the Community, may introduce revised amounts when necessary;
Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1986 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1984; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,
The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), '2 355 ECU' is replaced by '2 590 ECU'.
2. In Article 17 (2), '165 ECU' is replaced by '180 ECU' and '470 ECU' by '515 ECU'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1988.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2174/2003(3), sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.
(2) Commission Directive 91/321/EEC of 14 May 1991 on infant formula and follow-on formula(4) as last amended by Directive 2003/14/EC(5) provides that infant formulae and follow-on formulae must not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children and that necessary maximum levels for such substances are to be established without delay.
(3) Commission Directive 96/5/EC of 16 February 1996 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children(6), as last amended by Directive 2003/13/EC(7), provides that processed cereal-based foods and baby foods must not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children and that necessary maximum levels for such substances are to be established without delay.
(4) Some Member States have adopted maximum levels for inorganic tin in foods. In view of the disparities between Member States and the consequent risk of distortion of competition, Community measures are necessary in order to ensure market unity whilst abiding by the principle of proportionality.
(5) The Scientific Committee on Food concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2001 that levels of inorganic tin of 150 mg/kg in canned beverages and 250 mg/kg in other canned foods may cause gastric irritation in some individuals. Information is not available to indicate whether or not infants and young children might be at greater risk.
(6) To protect public health from this acute health risk it is necessary to set maximum levels for inorganic tin in canned foods and canned beverages. Until data becomes available on the sensitivity of infants and young children to inorganic tin in foods, it is necessary on a precautionary basis to protect the health of this vulnerable population group. Lower maximum levels are necessary, which are achievable through the strictly controlled manufacturing and packaging of infant formulae, follow-on formulae, baby foods and processed cereal-based foods for infants and young children.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
The Commission shall review the maximum levels for inorganic tin as set in points 1 and 2 of the Annex to this Regulation by 1 January 2006 taking into account the progress in scientific and technological knowledge.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0.25 | 0 | 0.75 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 9 February 1987
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 on the free supply of intervention stocks of processed cereals to charitable organizations
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1579/86 (2), and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 of 26 January 1987 on the free supply of intervention stocks of processed cereals to charitable organizations (3), and in particular Article 1 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3772/85 (5), and in particular Article 3 (4) thereof,
Whereas the best way of achieving the object of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87 is to issue an invitation to tender for the supply of common wheat flour or durum wheat groats and meal; whereas to simplify the procedure, tenders should be expressed in quantities of basic cereals to be disposed of by the intervention agency to the tenderer; whereas, however, it may be more efficient administratively to use the direct-agreement procedure; whereas provision should therefore also be made for such a procedure;
Whereas provision should be made for a Member State, where insufficient intervention stocks are available for the purposes of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87, to draw supplies from the intervention stocks of other Member States; whereas it should be specified that in such cases, as provided for in Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3154/85 of 11 November 1985 laying down detailed rules for the administrative application of monetary compensatory amounts (6), the system of monetary compensatory amounts shall not apply;
Whereas, in view of the non-commercial nature of transactions covered by this Regulation, neither accession compensatory amounts nor the supplementary trade mechanism should be applied; whereas, moreover, in order to prevent any distortions of competition provision should be made for the processing of basic cereals to be carried out by the successful tenderer in the Member State in which the processed product is to be used;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The quantities of common wheat flour falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.01 A and/or of durum wheat groats and meal falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.02 A I a) to be supplied by the intervention agencies to charitable organizations, as provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 230/87, shall be as listed in Annex I hereto.
1. Member States with sufficient quantities of cereals available in intervention storage for purposes of the operation referred to in Article 1, the intervention agencies shall specify the most suitable storage locations.
2. For Member States with insufficient intervention stocks of a suitable quality within their territory for the purposes of the operation provided for in Article 1, the storage locations shall be as listed in Annex II. In such cases:
- neither monetary compensatory amounts nor accession compensatory amounts apply to the transfer of the basic cereals nor shall the supplementary trade mechanism apply;
- the intervention agency of the Member State in the territory in which the cereals are stored shall supply the intervention agency concerned with all necessary information, in particular regarding the quality of the wheat in question.
1. The intervention agencies shall issue invitations to tender for the supply of the processed basic cereals concerned, delivered to the destination specified by the charitable organizations in accordance with Article 1 (2).
2. Tenderers shall undertake to take over the basic cereals loaded at the intervention store, to process them into common wheat flour falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.01 A or durum wheat groats and meal falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading 11.02 A I a) by 30 April 1987 at the latest and to deliver to the destination specified, within the time limit indicated in the notice of invitation to tender, the quantity of processed product for which has been awarded to them.
Processing of the cereals disposed of by the intervention agency must be carried out in the country in which the processed product is to be used.
3. Tenders must be lodged with the intervention agencies of the Member State in which the processed products are to be delivered and must be for a quantity of basic cereals to be disposed of by the intervention agency to the tenderer. Tenders shall not be valid unless accompanied by a written undertaking, countersigned by a credit establishment, to lodge within two working days at the latest of the day on which the notice of award is received, a security amounting to 10 %, of the intervention price expressed in Deutschmarks applying on the final date for the submission of tenders.
To that end the intervention expressed in Deutschmarks price shall be converted into the currency of the Member State of delivery using the latest exchange rate for sales recorded on the currency market of the Member State of delivery on the day on which the invitation to tender is opened.
The successful tenderers shall be those offering to take over the smallest quantities of basic cereal.
1. The commitments that tenderers are required to enter into under Article 3 (2) shall be considered as primary requirements in accordance with Article 20 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (1). They shall not be considered as having been discharged until the tenderer provides evidence that the cereals have been processed and supporting documents that the products of this processing or equivalent products have been delivered.

of 24 June 2014
amending Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure the sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 (1). Products falling within those tariff quotas can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates. For the reasons indicated, it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 July 2014, tariff quotas at zero duty rates for an appropriate volume as regards six additional products.
(2) Moreover, in certain cases, the existing autonomous tariff quotas of the Union should be adapted. In the case of two products, the product description needs to be modified for clarification purposes and in order to take into account the most recent product developments. In the case of another product, one of the TARIC codes needs to be deleted as the double classification has become obsolete. In the case of three other products, the quota volumes need to be increased as such increase is in the interest of economic operators and of the Union.
(3) Finally, in the case of two products, the autonomous tariff quotas of the Union should be closed with effect from 1 July 2014 and 1 January 2015, respectively, as it is not in the Union's interest to continue granting them as from those dates.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) As some of the adaptations to the autonomous tariff quotas pursuant to this Regulation must take effect from 1 July 2014, this Regulation should apply from that date and enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The table in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 is amended as follows:
(1) the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2830, 09.2831, 09.2832, 09.2834, 09.2835 and 09.2836 set out in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted following the order of the CN codes indicated in the second column of the table in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013;
(2) the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2629, 09.2631, 09.2639, 09.2668, 09.2669, 09.2806 and 09.2818 are replaced by the rows set out in Annex II to this Regulation;
(3) the row for the tariff quota with order number 09.2930 is deleted;
(4) the row for the tariff quota with order number 09.2639 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2014, with the exception of point (4) of Article 1, which shall apply from 1 January 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

The reduced agricultural components apply within the annual quotas set out in Annex I.
2. From 1 January to 30 June 1997, the processed agricultural products originating in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria and listed in Annex III shall be subject to the duties provided for in that Annex.
