32006D0464 | 2006/464/EC: Commission Decision of 27 June 2006 on provisional emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Community of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (notified under document number C(2006) 2881)
| 5.7.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 183/29
COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 June 2006
on provisional emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Community of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu
(notified under document number C(2006) 2881)
(2006/464/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3), third sentence thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, where a Member State considers that there is a danger of introduction into or spread within its territory of a harmful organism not listed in Annex I or Annex II to that Directive, it may temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger.
(2) As a result of the presence of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, in China, Korea, Japan, USA and in a limited area of the Community, France informed the other Member States and the Commission on 14 March 2005 that on 16 February 2005 it had adopted official measures to protect its territory from the danger of the introduction of that organism.
(3) Slovenia informed the Member States and the Commission on 29 June 2005 that because of outbreaks of the same organism on its territory it had on 24 June 2005 adopted additional measures to prevent the further introduction into and spread within its territory of that organism.
(4) Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu is not listed in Annex I or II to Directive 2000/29/EC. However, a report of a pest-risk assessment based on limited available scientific information has demonstrated that it may be one of the most damaging insects to chestnut (Castanea Mill.). It could strongly reduce nut production and quality and there is some evidence it may even kill the trees. Chestnuts are often grown on marginal land in hills or mountains. Damage resulting from the spread of the insect could halt production of chestnuts for human consumption in those areas and thus lead to economic and environmental degradation.
(5) It is therefore necessary to take provisional measures against the introduction into and spread within the Community of the said harmful organism.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision should apply to the introduction or the spread of the said organism, the production and movement of Castanea plants within the Community, the control of the organism and to a survey for the presence or continued absence of the said harmful organism in the Member States.
(7) It is appropriate that the results of the measures be regularly assessed in 2006, 2007 and 2008 in particular on the basis of information to be provided by the Member States. Possible subsequent measures will be considered in the light of the results of that assessment.
(8) Member States should adapt, if necessary, their legislation in order to comply with this Decision.
(9) The results of the measures should be reviewed by 1 February 2008.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Definition
In this Decision, ‘plants’ means plants or parts of plants of the genus Castanea Mill., intended for planting, other than fruit and seeds.
Measures against Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu
The introduction into and spread within the Community of Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, hereinafter referred to as ‘the organism’, shall be prohibited.
Import of plants
Plants may be introduced into the Community only if:
(a) they comply with the measures laid down in point 1 of Annex I, and
(b) they are, on entry into the Community, inspected for the presence of the organism, in accordance with Article 13a(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC, and found free from it.
Movement of plants within the Community
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 5(3)(a) and Annex II, Part II, plants originating in the Community or imported into the Community pursuant to Article 3 of this Decision may only be moved from their place of production in the Community, including, where appropriate, garden centres, if they meet the conditions laid down in point 2 of Annex I.
Surveys and notifications
1. Member States shall conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the organism or evidence of infestation by the organism in their territory.
Without prejudice to Article 16(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the results of those surveys shall be notified to the Commission and to the other Member States by 31 December of each year.
2. Any suspected occurrence or confirmed presence of the organism shall immediately be notified to the responsible official bodies.
(a) Member States may require that the movement into or within their territory of plants, is subject to a traceability system, which may include a declaration of movement to the responsible official bodies by the person responsible for the movement.
(b) Member States may require a declaration of planting to be made to the responsible official bodies by the persons responsible for the planting.
Establishment of demarcated zones
When the results of the surveys referred to in Article 5(1) or the notification referred to in Article 5(2) confirm the presence of the organism in an area, or there is evidence of the establishment of the organism by other means, Member States shall define demarcated zones and take official measures as laid down in points I and II respectively of Annex II.
Compliance
Member States shall, if necessary, amend the measures which they have adopted to protect themselves against the introduction and spread of the organism in such a manner that those measures comply with this Decision and shall forthwith inform the Commission of those measures.
Review
This Decision shall be reviewed by 1 February 2008 at the latest.

32002R2376 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2376/2002 of 27 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for barley from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1766/92
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2376/2002
of 27 December 2002
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for barley from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1766/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision of 19 December 2002 concerning the conclusion of an agreement in the form of an exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America, with a view to the modification of concessions with respect to cereals provided for in schedule CXL annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)(3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to the Council Decision of 19 December 2002 concerning the conclusion of an agreement in the form of an exchange of Letters between the European Community and Canada pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), with a view to the modification of concessions with respect to cereals provided for in EC schedule CXL annexed to the GATT(4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following trade negotiations, the Community has changed the conditions for the import of common wheat of low and medium quality and of barley by creating import quotas from 1 January 2003. For barley, the Community has decided to replace the system of preference margins by two tariff quotas: a tariff quota of 50000 tonnes for malting barley and a tariff quota of 300000 tonnes of barley, for which this Regulation makes provision.
(2) The opening of this quota means that Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 has to be adapted. In order to enable the quota to be opened on 1 January 2003, provision should be made to derogate from Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, during a transitional period expiring on the date of entry into force of the amendment to that Regulation, but until 30 June 2003 at the latest.
(3) To ensure that imports of the barley covered by this tariff quota are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. The licences are to be issued, within the quantities set, at the request of the interested parties, subject where appropriate to the fixing of a reduction coefficient in respect of the quantities applied for.
(4) To ensure the proper management of this quota, deadlines for the lodging of licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in applications and licences should be specified.
(5) To take account of supply conditions, a derogation should be made concerning the period of validity of the licences.
(6) With a view to the sound management of the quota, provision should be made to derogate 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(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(6), as regards the transferable nature of the licences and the tolerance relating to the quantities released into free circulation.
(7) To ensure sound management of the quotas, the security on the import licences should be set at a relatively high level, notwithstanding Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1322/2002(8).
(8) Rapid two-way communication should be established between the Commission and the Member States regarding the quantities applied for and imported.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 10(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the import duty for barley falling in CN code 1003 00 shall be fixed in the framework of the quota opened by this Regulation.
0(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall apply to imports of the products referred to in this Regulation in excess of the quantity provided for in Article 2.
1. A tariff import quota of 300000 tonnes for barley falling in CN code 1003 00 is hereby opened.
2. The tariff quota shall be opened on 1 January each year. Duties on imports within the tariff quota shall be levied at a rate of EUR 16 per tonne.
All imports under the quota referred to in Article 2(1) shall be conditional upon the production of an import licence issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
1. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States no later than 13.00 (Brussels time) every Monday.
Each licence application must be for a quantity that may not exceed the quantity available for the import of the product concerned in the year concerned.
2. No later than 18.00 Brussels time on the day of lodging of licence applications, the competent authorities shall forward to the Commission by fax a notification in accordance with the model annexed hereto, and the total quantity resulting from the sum of all quantities indicated on the import licence applications. If the day for lodging the licence applications is a national holiday, the Member State concerned shall send the said notification on the working day preceding the national holiday no later than 18.00 Brussels time.
That information must be communicated separately from the information on other import licence applications for cereals.
3. If the total of the quantities since the start of the year and the quantity referred to in paragraph 2 exceeds the quota for the year concerned, the Commission shall set, no later than the third working day after the applications are lodged, a single reduction coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested.
4. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, licences shall be issued on the fourth working day following the day on which the application was lodged. No later than 18.00 Brussels time on the day the licences are issued, the competent authorities shall fax the Commission, at the number mentioned in the Annex hereto, the total quantity resulting from the sum of the quantities for which import licences have been issued that same day.
Import licences shall be valid for 60 days from the day of issue. In accordance with Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the period of validity of the licence shall be calculated from the actual date of issue.
Notwithstanding Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the rights resulting from the import licences shall not be transferable.
Notwithstanding Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the quantity released into free circulation may not exceed that indicated in sections 17 and 18 of the import licence. The figure "0" shall be entered to that effect in section 19 of the licence.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey
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), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 5 May 2000, the Commission initiated an anti-dumping proceeding(2) on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables (the product concerned) originating, inter alia, in Turkey.
(2) This proceeding ultimately resulted in an anti-dumping duty being imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001(3) of 2 August 2001 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3) Provisional measures had been imposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 230/2001(4). In parallel, the Commission accepted a price undertaking from, inter alia, the Turkish exporting producer Has Celik ve Halat San Tic AS (Has Celik) pursuant to Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 230/2001. Imports of the product concerned produced and directly exported by Has Celik were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 2(2) of that Regulation.
B. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNDERTAKING
(4) The undertaking offered by Has Celik applies only to types of the product concerned which are listed in an Annex to the undertaking. In order to benefit from the duty exemption Has Celik has to issue a commercial invoice accompanying sales made subject to the undertaking (commercial invoice) as requested by Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 230/2001. The commercial invoice has to meet the requirements of the Annex to the same Regulation. It also stipulates that exports to the Community of other product types not listed in that Annex are subject to anti-dumping duties. In addition, Has Celik agreed not to sell the types of the product concerned, on a weighted average half-yearly basis, below a minimum import price (MIP) which, for each product type, is also listed in an Annex to the undertaking.
(5) Following an on-spot verification visit, it was established that Has Celik had committed two types of breaches of the above obligations. First, it had sold product types other than those covered by the undertaking using a commercial invoice and therefore it allowed its importers to avoid payment of the duty; second, it was established that the company had sold certain product types covered by the undertaking, on a weighted average half-yearly basis, at prices below the relevant MIP. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1274/2003(5) sets out in detail the nature of the breaches found.
(6) Acceptance of the undertaking has been withdrawn by the Commission by means of the above Commission Regulation and, therefore, definitive anti-dumping duties should be imposed forthwith on imports of the product concerned manufactured by Has Celik.
C. AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1601/2001
(7) In view of the above and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 should be amended, and goods manufactured by Has Celik should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for that company as set in Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (17,8 %),
The table in Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 shall be replaced by the following table:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 989/2005
of 27 June 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on certain industrial, agricultural and fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) It is in the interest of the Community to suspend partially or totally the autonomous common customs tariff duties for a number of new products not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 (1).
(2) A number of products which are referred to in the said Regulation should be withdrawn from the list in the Annex because it is no longer in the Community’s interest to maintain suspension of autonomous common customs tariff duties or because the description needs to be altered in order to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market.
(3) Accordingly, products whose description needs to be altered should be regarded as new products.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 accordingly.
(5) In view of the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely upon the grounds of urgency provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.
(6) Since this Regulation is to apply from 1 July 2005, it should enter into force immediately,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The products set out in Annex I to this Regulation shall be inserted.
2. The products for which the codes are set out in Annex II to this Regulation shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Whereas the Commission adopted, by an emergency procedure, suitable interim protective measures by Regulation (EEC) No 837/92 (5) and 962/92 (6); whereas definitive measures must be adopted; whereas, in view of the market situation in Spain, an increase in indicative ceilings cannot be contemplated at present;
Whereas, as part of the definitive measures referred to in Article 85 (3) of the Act, the suspension of the issuing of STM licences provided for in the abovementioned Regulation until the end of the month of April 1992 should be confirmed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. The issuing of STM licences applied for in the Community of Ten for products in the milk and milk products sector as referred to in Regulations (EEC) No 837/92 and EEC No 962/92 is hereby definitively suspended for the month of April of 1992.
2. Further applications for STM licences may be lodged from 27 April 1992 for all products in respect of that fraction of the indicative ceiling applicable from 1 May 1992.

Whereas Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 established a production aid scheme for certain products listed in Annex I, Part A, thereto; whereas Article 6 (1) (b) specifies that aid is to be granted only for products which meet minimum quality requirements to be laid down;
Whereas the aim of such minimum quality requirements is to avoid production of products for which there is no demand or products which would create distortion of the market; whereas the requirements must be based on traditional fair manufacturing procedures;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1289/85 (3) laid down minimum quality standards for Williams pears in syrup; whereas the provisions laid down therein should be adapted to take account of the extension of the aid scheme to pears of the Rocha variety and to Williams and Rocha pears preserved in natural fruit juice as provided for in the abovementioned Council Regulation (EEC) No 1125/89; whereas, for the sake of clarity, the minimum quality requirements thus adapted should be set out in a new text;
Whereas the quality requirements laid down in this Regulation constitute additional rules of application further to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 of 5 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2260/89 (5);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
This Regulation lays down the minimum quality requirements which Williams and Rocha pears in syrup and pears of the said varieties preserved in natural fruit juice, hereinafter referred to as 'pears in syrup and or in natural fruit juice', as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84, shall meet in order to qualify for the production aid provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86.
For the manufacture of pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice only pears of the species Pyrus comunis L., varieties Williams and Rocha, shall be used. The raw material shall be fresh, sound, clean and suitable for processing.
The raw material may have been chilled before being used for the manufacture of pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice.
1. Pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice must be manufactured in one of the styles defined in paragraph 2.
2. For the purpose of this Regulation the styles are defined as follows:
(a) 'whole fruit' means the whole fruit, with core and with or without stalk;
(b) 'halves' means the cored fruit cut into two approximately equal parts;
(c) 'quarters' means the cored fruit cut into four approximately equal parts;
(d) 'slices' means the cored fruit cut into more than four wedge-shaped parts;
(e) 'dice' means the cored fruit cut into cube-like parts.
3. Each container with pears in syrup and/or pears in natural fruit juice shall contain only one style, and the fruit or pieces thereof shall be practically uniform in size. No other type of fruit may be found in the container.
4. The colour of pears in syrup shall be characteristic for the variety Williams or Rocha. A slightly pink discoloration shall not be considered a defect. Pears in syrup containing special ingredients shall be considered to be of characteristic colour if there is no abnormal discoloration for the ingredients used.
5. Pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice shall be free of foreign materials of non-vegetable origin and from foreign flavours and odours.
The fruit shall be fleshy and may be variable in tenderness but shall be neither excessively soft nor excessively firm.
6. Pears in syrup shall be practically free from:
(a) foreign materials of vegetable origin;
(b) peel;
(c) blemished units.
Whole fruits, halves and quarters shall also be practically free from mechanically damaged units.
1. Fruit, or pieces thereof, shall be considered practically uniform in size when, in a container, the weight of the largest unit is not more than twice the weight of the smallest unit.
If there are less than 20 units in a container, one unit may be disregarded. When determining the largest and the smallest units, broken units shall not be taken into consideration.
2. Pears in syrup and/or pears in natural fruit juice shall be considered as complying with Article 3 (6) when the following tolerances are not exceeded:
1.2,3 // // // // Style 1.2.3 // // Whole, halves and quarters // Other // // // // Blemished units // 15 % by number // 1,5 kilograms // Mechanically damaged units // 10 % by number // Not applicable // Peel // 100 cm2 aggregate area // 100 cm2 aggregate area // Foreign material of vegetable origin: // // // - Core material // 10 units // 10 units // - Loose pear seeds // 80 pieces // 80 pieces // - Other material, including loose core material // 60 pieces // 60 pieces // // //
The tolerances allowed, other than those fixed by reference to per cent by number, are per 10 kilograms drained net weight.
Cores shall not be considered as a defect in whole styles with core.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2:
(a) 'blemished units' means fruit with discoloration on the surface or spots which definitely contrast with the overall colour and which may penetrate into the flesh, in particular bruises, scab and dark discoloration;
(b) 'mechanically damaged units' means units which have been severed into definite parts, and all of such portions that equal the size of a full-size unit are considered one unit or units where the trimming has been excessive and includes serious gouges on the surface of the units which substantially detract from the appearance;
(c) 'peel' means both peel adhering to pear flesh and peel found loose in the container;
(d) 'foreign material of vegetable origin' means vegetable materials which are irrelevant to the fruit itself or which have been attached to the fresh fruit but should have been removed during processing, in particular core material, pear seeds, stalks and leaves and pieces thereof. Peel shall, however, be excluded;
(e) 'core material' means the seed cell or parts thereof attached to the fruit, with or without seeds. Pieces of core are considered as equivalent to one unit when, having been aggregated, the pieces total approximately one half of a core;
(f) 'loose pear seeds' means seeds which are not included in core material but which are loose in the container.
The pears and the syrup and/or natural fruit juice shall occupy at least 90 % of the water capacity of the container. 2. The drained net weight of the fruit shall on average be at least equal to the following percentages of the water capacity, expressed in grams, of the container:

Whereas certain provisions on protective measures against Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, in particular those applicable in the United Kingdom, should be modified, because it has been determined that the said organism is not present in a much larger area than originally recognized;
Whereas certain provisions on protective measures in Italy against certain bark beetles, i.e. Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, Ips amitinus Eichhof and Ips duplicatus Sahlberg, should be modified because it is no longer appropriate to maintain the current provisions set out in the said Directive;
Whereas it has been determined that Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis (Kilian et Maire) Gordon, an organism listed in the Annexes to Directive 77/93/EEC, has been found in Egypt; whereas it is considered that this disease represents a serious danger to palms grown in, and may be carried on palms imported into, the Community; whereas the measures to combat this disease should be improved;
Whereas some provisions on protective measures against plants of Solanaceae should be modified because it is no longer appropriate to maintain the current provisions set out in Directive 77/93/EEC for plants originating in the Mediterranean countries;
Whereas it has been determined that there is no longer a need to issue a plant passport for wood of conifers which has been stripped of its bark;
Whereas therefore the relevant Annexes to the said Directive 77/93/EEC should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Directive 77/93/EEC is hereby amended as indicated in the Annex to this Directive.

Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each of the deficit areas; whereas, for such fixing, it is appropriate that account be taken of the regional variations which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, might be expected to occur in the price of sugar under natural conditions of price formation on the market;
Whereas a deficit supply situation is to be foreseen in the areas of production in Italy, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
Whereas Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that an intervention price for raw sugar shall be fixed; whereas such price should be established on the basis of the intervention price for white sugar;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 1312/90 fixed the basic price
for beet at ECU 40,07 per tonne; whereas Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the minimum
price to be fixed for A beet shall be 98 % of the basic price of the beet and the minimum price to be fixed for B beet shall in principle be 68 % of the said basic price, without prejudice to Article 28 (5) of that Regulation;
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the threshold price for white sugar shall be equal to the target price, plus costs, calculated at a flat rate, of transport from the Community area having the largest surplus to the most distant deficit consumption area in the Community, plus a flat-rate amount which takes into account the foreseeable storage levy; whereas, given the state of supplies within the Community, account should be taken of transport charges between the departments of northern France and Palermo;
Whereas the threshold price for raw sugar is to be derived from the threshold price for white sugar by reference to a processing margin and a standard yield;
Whereas the threshold price for molasses should be fixed in such a way that the receipts from sales of molasses may reach the level of receipts of undertakings taken into account in the fixing of basic prices for beet;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 (6) provides that the amount of repayment in the context of the compensation for storage costs shall be fixed per month and per unit of weight, taking account of financing costs, subject to interest of 10 %, insurance costs and specific storage costs;
Whereas, when the prices to be applied in Spain and Portugal are fixed, the prices fixed for those Member States for the 1986/87 marketing year should be aligned with the common prices in accordance with Articles 70 and 238 of the Act of Accession,
For the deficit areas of the Community, with the exception of Portugal, the derived intervention price for white sugar shall be fixed, per 100 kilograms, at:
(a) ECU 54,31 for all the areas in the United Kingdom;
(b) ECU 54,31 for all the areas in Ireland;
(c) ECU 55,04 for all the areas in Italy.
The intervention price of raw sugar shall be ECU 44,02 for 100 kilograms.
1. The minimum price for A beet, applicable in the Community with the exception of Spain and Portugal, shall be ECU 39,27 per tonne.
2. Subject to Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the minimum price for B beet, applicable in the Community with the exception of Spain and Portugal, shall be ECU 27,25 per tonne.
1. The sugar prices to be applied in Spain and Portugal shall be as follows:
- Spain:
(a) the intervention price for white sugar shall be
ECU 61,70 per 100 kilograms;
(b) the prices for beet shall be:
- ECU 47,16 per tonne for the basic price,
- ECU 46,36 per tonne for the minimum price for A beet,
- ECU 34,34 per tonne for the minimum price for B beet, subject to the application
of Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1785/81;
- Portugal:
(a) the intervention price for white sugar shall be
ECU 52,56 per 100 kilograms;
(b) the prices for beet shall be:
- ECU 42,90 per tonne for the basic price,

of Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1785/81.
2. The beet prices referred to in paragraph 1 shall be for delivery at the collection centre and shall apply to beet of standard quality as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) N° 1312/90.
The threshold price shall be:
(a) ECU 64,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(b) ECU 55,15 per 100 kilograms of raw sugar;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day of
its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply for the 1990/91 marketing year.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 provides that products of animal origin are to be imported only from a third country or a part of a third country that appears on a list drawn up in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 822/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides, by way of derogation from Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004, that Member States, subject to certain conditions, may authorise imports of fishery products from the third countries listed in Annex II to that Regulation.
(3) Those third countries have not yet undergone a Community inspection to check their sanitary conditions and ascertain whether the controls applied by their competent authorities are equivalent to the requirements under Community legislation. Fiji is currently listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005.
(4) A Community inspection carried out in Fiji revealed serious shortcomings as regards hygiene in the handling of fishery products and in the capacity of the competent authorities of that third country to carry out reliable checks on fishery products. Accordingly, Fiji cannot provide the necessary guarantees that fishery products have been obtained in conditions at least equivalent to those governing the production and placing on the market of fishery products in the Community.
(5) Imports into the Community of fishery products from Fiji should therefore no longer be authorised.
(6) In order to allow the entry into the Community of fishery products from Fiji produced and certified before the entry into force of this Regulation, a transitional period should be laid down.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should therefore 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 II to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
For a transitional period not exceeding six weeks from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, Member States may authorise imports of fishery products from Fiji produced and certified before that date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties that have been fixed as from 15 May 2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2003(5) as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be adjusted in compliance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 and fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

Whereas, by virtue of its application since its introduction, the set-aside scheme established by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 must be considered an instrument for managing arable crop production whose rate is likely to be changed in each marketing year on the basis of the market situation; whereas this has been demonstrated by the fact that the Council has fixed as an exceptional measure in two consecutive marketing years a set-aside rate different to the basic rate;
Whereas, in this context, the detailed rules for applying the set-aside scheme laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 762/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2015/95 (4), should allow producers to make an annual adjustment to any rate change decided; whereas, as a result, those producers who opted for the scheme provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation should be allowed, should they so wish, to revoke their undertaking without being penalized;
Whereas, however, the guarantee of a minimum rate of compensation in return for setting aside land for a minimum period is an important factor where certain environment measures are concerned; whereas the revocation of undertakings already entered into for land left fallow pursuant to Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 and for which environmental aid has been granted in addition to the set-aside compensation should not, therefore, be facilitated; whereas for these same reasons, access to the guarantee in respect of such land should be maintained;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘the basic Regulation’) (1), and in particular Article 11(4), thereof,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Fuyang Genebest Chemical Industry Co. Ltd (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer in the People’s Republic of China (‘the country concerned’).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the product concerned’), currently classifiable within CN code 2918 12 00. This CN code is given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 (2) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China, including the product concerned produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 34,9 % with the exception of several companies specially mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively claims individual treatment in conformity with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation, that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 (‘the original investigation period’) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product which are subject to the above mentioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that it has begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively whether the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and, if so, the applicant’s individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which their imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(8) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from companies not individually mentioned in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006.
(a) Questionnaires
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(c) Market economy status
(d) Selection of the market economy country
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(9) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicants, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(10) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
(a) interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in Article 4(1) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation;
(b) interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission;
(c) interested parties may comment on the appropriateness of Argentina which, in the event that the applicant will not be granted market economy treatment, is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China;
(d) the applicant should submit a duly substantiated claim for market economy treatment.
H. NON CO-OPERATION
(11) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
I. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(12) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).
J. HEARING OFFICER
(13) It is noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of your rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of DG Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this proceeding, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views. For further information and contact details, interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on the website of DG Trade (http://ec.europa.eu/trade),

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the markets in rice (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to the Regulation.
(2) The January subperiod is the first subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(a), (b), (c) and (d) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.
(3) The notification sent in accordance with Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 shows that, for the quotas with serial numbers 09.4148 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2008 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas in question.
(4) It is also clear from the notification that, for the quotas with serial numbers 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2008 under Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 cover a quantity less than that available.
(5) The total quantities available for the following subperiod should therefore be fixed for the quotas with serial numbers 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98,
1. For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with serial numbers 09.4148 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2008, licences shall be issued for the quantities requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The total quantities available under the quotas with serial numbers 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 for the next subperiod are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 379/71 of 19 February 1971 laying down common quality standards for citrus fruit (3), laid down a class III for the products concerned;
Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the quality class III may be applied only if the products concerned are needed to meet consumer demand; whereas, this need, which has already been recognized for a limited period for lemons of the 'Verdelli' type by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2194/86 (4), also appears to exist at present for certain citrus fruits other than lemons; whereas, in view of the considerable fluctuations in production from one marketing year to another, the period of application of quality class III should be limited;

Whereas the increasing abuse of narcotics in the Community is likely to endanger human health;
Whereas the stalk of true hemp may in some cases contain intoxicating substances ; whereas, however, the cultivation of hemp in the Community is of considerable significance in some regions ; whereas, to prevent the danger referred to above from being increased by the cultivation of hemp in the Community and by imports of raw hemp and hemp seed, the aid granted under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organization of the market in flax and hemp (3), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, should be limited to varieties providing adequate safeguards in terms of human health, and imports of hemp and hemp seed which do not provide adequate safeguards should be prohibited;
Whereas the necessary time should be allowed for the introduction of these measures,
The following subparagraph shall be inserted as a second subparagraph after the first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70:
"However, aid shall be granted only for hemp grown from seed of varieties providing certain safeguards to be determined in respect of the content of intoxicating substances in the harvested product."
1. The importation of raw true hemp falling within heading No 57.01 of the Common Customs Tariff shall be permitted only if the product complies with the terms of Article 1.
2. The importation of hemp seed falling within subheading 12.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff shall be permitted only if the seed offers the guarantees laid down in Article 1.
3. The importation of unbroken hemp seed falling within subheading 12.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff shall be permitted only if: - the germination rate does not exceed a maximum percentage to be determined,
or
- the seed is being imported for use in scientific or technical experiments.
4. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt general rules for the application of this Article.

Whereas, as the production and processing year for lemons extends from 1 June of one year to 31 May of the following year, four processing contracts a year should be successively concluded so as to improve the planning of the said year, it being stated that for each period there must be a corresponding contract;
Whereas the experience gained in managing the scheme introduced by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2643/91 (4), makes it necessary to improve the provisions applying to monitoring;

Where carrots are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as products for which standards are to be adopted; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 of 10 April 1989 laying down quality standards for carrots, citrus fruit and dessert apples and pears(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2536/98(4), has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity;
Whereas the rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 repealed; whereas, to that end, for reasons of transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for carrots by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE);
Whereas the effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable;
Whereas the standards are applicable at all stages of marketing; whereas transport over a great distance, storage for a certain lengh of time or the various handling operations to which the products are subjected may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish; whereas account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch; whereas, as products in the "Extra" class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness and turgidity is to be taken into account in their case;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for carrots falling within CN code 0706 10 00 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show in relation to the provisions of the standards:
- a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,
- for products graded in classes other than the "Extra" class, slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.

of 7 May 1990
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and chemical products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain agricultural and chemical products is currently unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas zero duty Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 30 June 1991 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas, in order not to upset the balance of the markets for these products, the volume of certain of these Community tariff quotas should be set at provisional levels which cover immediate requirements; whereas the setting of the quota volumes at this level does not rule out an adjustment during the year;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of these tariff quotas while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;

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

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 (3) of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2488/69 (4), provides for the export refund fixed in advance to be precisely adjusted if certain Community prices for sugar and molasses are altered during the period of advance fixing : whereas this provision has proved too inflexible ; whereas Article 12 should therefore be amended to make it possible for a decision to be taken on the appropriate adjustment.
The following shall be substituted for Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68:
"If between: - the date on which the application for an export licence is lodged and a request for the advance fixing of the refund is made, or
- the date on which the time limit for the submission of the tenders expires, in the case of a refund fixed by tender,
- and the date of exportation, there is an alteration in the prices for sugar or molasses fixed pursuant to Regulation No 1009/67/EEC, provision may be made for adjusting the amount of the refund."

| Directive 2000/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 19 January 2001
on summer-time arrangements
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) The eighth Directive, 97/44/EC, of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 1997 on summer-time arrangements(4) introduced a common date and time in all Member States, for the beginning and end of summer time in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.
(2) Given that the Member States apply summer-time arrangements, it is important for the functioning of the internal market that a common date and time for the beginning and end of the summer-time period be fixed throughout the Community.
(3) Since the summer-time period considered most appropriate by the Member States runs from the end of March to the end of October, it is appropriate that that period therefore be maintained.
(4) The proper functioning of certain sectors, not only transport and communications, but also other sectors of industry, requires stable, long-term planning. Provisions concerning summer time should therefore be laid down for an unspecified period. Article 4 of Directive 97/44/EC provides, in that respect, that the European Parliament and the Council are to adopt, by 1 January 2001, the arrangements to apply from 2002 onwards.
(5) For reasons of clarity and accuracy of information, a timetable for the implementation of the summer-time period for the following five years should be published every five years.
(6) Implementation of this Directive should, moreover, be monitored by means of a report, to be presented by the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee, on the impact of these provisions in all of the areas concerned. That report should be based on the information made available to the Commission by the Member States in sufficient time to enable the report to be presented at the specified time.
(7) Given that the complete harmonisation of the timetable for the summer-time period with a view to facilitating transport and communications cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may take measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.
(8) For geographical reasons, the common summer-time arrangements should not apply to the overseas territories of the Member States,
For the purposes of this Directive "summer-time period" shall mean the period of the year during which clocks are put forward by 60 minutes compared with the rest of the year.
From 2002 onwards, the summer-time period shall begin, in every Member State, at 1.00 a.m., Greenwich Mean Time, on the last Sunday in March.
From 2002 onwards, the summer-time period shall end, in every Member State, at 1.00 a.m., Greenwich Mean Time, on the last Sunday in October.
The Commission shall publish a communication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(5), for the first time on the occasion of the publication of this Directive, and every five years thereafter, containing the timetable showing the dates on which the summer-time period will begin and end for the following five years.
The Commission shall report to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee on the impact of the provisions of this Directive on the sectors concerned by 31 December 2007 at the latest.
That report shall be drawn up on the basis of the information made available to the Commission by each Member State by 30 April 2007 at the latest.
The Commission shall, if necessary and following the conclusions of the report, make appropriate proposals.
This Directive shall not apply to the overseas territories of the Member States.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2001 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

AHaving regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of imports covered by that Decision;
Whereas, under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2955/87 (2), the import into Italy of textile products falling within category 3, originating in Pakistan, is subject to quantitative limits from 1987 to 1991;
Whereas on 7 December 1987, a request was made under Article 2 of Decision 87/443/EEC by the Italian Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to introduce intra-Community surveillance for textile products falling within category 3, originating in Pakistan and put into free circulation in the Community;
Whereas the information given by the Italian authorities in support of this request has been examined closely by the Commission, in accordance with the criteria laid down in Decision 87/433/EEC;
Whereas the Commission examined in particular whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, whether information was given as regards the alleged economic difficulties, and whether there was a danger of deflection of trade;
Whereas the examination showed that there was such a danger and that steps should be taken to ensure full knowledge of likely intra-Community imports so as to render apparent any dangerous trend;
Whereas, therefore, Italy should be authorized to make the imports concerned subject to prior intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1988,
The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988, and in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC, inta-Community surveillance of imports of textile products of category 3 originating in Pakistan.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the Communities' own resources(1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Whereas:
(1) The increasing share of the Community's own resource based on the gross national product at market prices (hereinafter referred to as GNPmp) of the Member States, makes it necessary to further reinforce the comparability, reliability and exhaustiveness of this aggregate.
(2) These data are also an important analytical tool for the coordination of national economic policies and for various Community policies.
(3) For own resource purposes, Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom states that GNPmp is equal to gross national income at market prices (hereinafter referred to as GNI) as provided by the Commission in application of the European system of national and regional accounts (hereinafter referred to as ESA 95) in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community(4).
(4) GNI data must be comparable. These data can be comparable only if the relevant definitions and accounting rules of ESA 95 are complied with. For that purpose, the assessment procedures and the basic data actually used should permit the correct application of the definitions and accounting rules of ESA 95.
(5) The sources and methods used to compile GNI must be reliable. This means that sound techniques should be applied to robust and suitable basic statistics as much as possible.
(6) GNI data must be exhaustive. This means that they should take account also of the activities that are not reported in statistical surveys or to fiscal, social and other administrative authorities. Improved GNI coverage presupposes developing suitable statistical bases and assessment procedures and making adequate adjustments.
(7) In order to fulfil its mission of providing GNI data for own resource purposes, the Commission shall take measures aimed at improving the comparability, reliability and exhaustiveness of Member States' GNI.
(8) Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom of 13 February 1989 on the harmonisation of the compilation of gross national product at market prices(5) has set up a procedure to verify and assess the comparability, reliability and exhaustiveness of GNP within the GNP Committee in which Member States and the Commission cooperate closely. This procedure should be adjusted to take account of the use of ESA 95 GNI for the purposes of own resources.
(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6).
(10) The Statistical Programme Committee has been consulted in accordance with Article 3 of Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom of 19 June 1989 establishing a Committee on the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities(7),
Chapter I Definition and calculation of gross national income at market prices
1. Gross national income at market prices (GNI) and gross domestic product at market prices (GDP) shall be defined in accordance with the European system of national and regional accounts (ESA 95).
2. GDP is the final result of the production activity of resident producer units. It can be defined in three ways:
(a) GDP is the sum of gross value added of the various institutional sectors or the various industries plus taxes and less subsidies on products (which are not allocated to sectors and industries). It is also the balancing item in the total economy production account;
(b) GDP is the sum of final uses of goods and services by resident institutional units (actual final consumption and gross capital formation) plus exports and minus imports of goods and services;
(c) GDP is the sum of uses in the total economy generation of income account (compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, gross operating surplus and mixed income of the total economy).
3. GNI represents total primary income receivable by resident institutional units: compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, property income (receivable less payable), gross operating surplus and gross mixed income. GNI equals GDP minus primary income payable by resident units to non-resident units plus primary income receivable by resident units from the rest of the world.
Chapter II Forwarding of GNI data and additional information
1. Member States shall establish GNI in accordance with Article 1 in the context of regular national accounting.
2. Before 22 September each year, Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat), in the context of national accounting procedures, with figures for aggregate GNI and its components, according to the definitions referred to in Article 1. Totals for GDP and its components may be presented according to the three approaches mentioned in Article 1(2). The figures provided shall cover the preceding year and any changes made to the figures for previous years.
3. When they communicate the data referred to in paragraph 2, Member States shall transmit a report on the quality of GNI data to the Commission (Eurostat). The report shall supply the information necessary to show how the aggregate was reached, and in particular describe any significant changes in the procedures and basic statistics used and explain the revisions made to earlier GNI estimates. The content and format of this report shall follow the guidelines laid down by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 4(2).
Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat), in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the latter and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 4(2), with an inventory of the procedures and basic statistics used to calculate GNI and its components according to ESA 95. Member States shall improve and update their inventory according to those guidelines.
Chapter III Procedures and checks on the calculation of GNI
1. The Commission shall be assisted by a committee, hereinafter referred to as the "GNI Committee", composed of representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
1. The Commission shall verify the sources and methods used by Member States to calculate GNI. Measures to make GNI data more comparable, reliable and exhaustive shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 4(2).
2. The GNI Committee shall examine questions raised by its Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State, relating to the implementation of this Regulation, in particular with regard to:
(a) compliance each year with the definitions referred to in Article 1;
(b) the examination each year of the data forwarded under the terms of Article 2(2) and the information forwarded under the terms of Article 2(3) concerning the statistical sources and the procedures for calculating GNI and its components. This examination shall lead to a GNI Committee opinion on the appropriateness of Member States' GNI data for own resource purposes with respect to reliability, comparability and exhaustiveness. This opinion will indicate the main documents on which the examination is based. Reliability, comparability and exhaustiveness of GNI and its components must be assessed taking account of the cost-benefit principle.
In this context, the cost-benefit principle entails a judgment on the potential size and significance of specific activities or transactions based on whatever information is available. This information is often qualitative, though it may be quantitative in some cases. The Commission (Eurostat) examines the comparability in the treatment of similar cases in the Member States and reports to the GNI Committee on all cases where the cost-benefit principle is considered to apply. The application of this principle should avoid committing disproportionate resources to calculate insignificant items;
(c) expressing its views, without prejudice to Article 4, on Commission proposals aiming to improve GNI calculations, including interpreting ESA 95 definitions where necessary and quantifying the impact of these proposals on GNI.
3. The GNI Committee shall dedicate particular efforts to the improvement of Member States' GNI compilation practices and to the dissemination of best practices in this domain.
It shall also deal with questions relating to the revision of GNI data and the problem of the exhaustiveness of GNI.
It shall, if necessary, suggest to the Commission measures to make GNI data more comparable and more reliable.
Without prejudice to the inspections provided for in Article 19 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000(8), joint GNI information visits may, where deemed appropriate, be carried out in Member States by the Commission's services and representatives from other Member States in consultation with the Member States visited. The participation of Member States in these visits is voluntary.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1753/84 (1), opened and allocated among the Member States a duty-free Community tariff quota for ferro-phosphorus containing 15 % or more by weight of phosphorus, falling within subheading ex 28.55 A of the Common Customs Tariff, for the period 1 July 1984 to 30 June 1985, the amount of which was fixed at 25 000 tonnes;
Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for the quota year, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community in the short term amount to 26 500 tonnes; whereas the size of the quota should be increased by this quantity to take account of the requirements noted; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question, part of the volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve, the balance being allocated among certain Member States on a pro rata basis according to their estimated requirements for imports originating in third countries,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1753/84 for ferro-phosphorus containing 15 % or more by weight of phosphorus, falling within subheading ex 28.55 A of the Common Customs Tariff, for use in the manufacture of refined phosphoric iron or steel, is increased from 25 000 to 51 500 tonnes.
1. The first tranche of the additional volume referred to in Article 1, amounting to 24 000 tonnes, shall be allocated as follows among certain Member States:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 9 060 // Germany // 13 590 // France // 1 350
2. The second tranche, amounting to 2 500 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
The reserve provided for in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1753/84 is thus increased from 2 500 to 5 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3)(b) and (14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 (2) and Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 (3) open a permanent invitation to tender to determine export refunds on certain dairy products to destinations excluding certain third countries and territories.
(2) To avoid misinterpretation of the status of those destinations, it is appropriate to distinguish between third countries and territories of European Union Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Community.
(3) Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 and Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 lay down the application period for tender export refund certificates for butter and skimmed milk powder accordingly. Given the situation on the market for milk and milk products, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1119/2007 of 27 September 2007 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for export refunds concerning certain types of butter and from Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for exports refunds concerning skimmed milk powder (4) has provided for one single tender application period per month in the last quarter of 2007.
(4) Since that situation of the market is likely to remain, and with a view to avoid unnecessary administrative procedures and charges it is appropriate to definitely adopt this frequency on a permanent base as from January 2008.
(5) It is therefore necessary to amend Regulations (EC) No 581/2004 and (EC) No 582/2004 accordingly.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the enzyme preparation 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 122001) as a feed additive for turkeys, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) has been authorised for poultry for fattening and breeding other than turkeys for fattening, for poultry for laying and for pigs other than sows by Commission Regulation (EU) No 277/2010 (2).
(5) New data were submitted to support the application. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 10 March 2010 (3) that 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26), under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the performance of the animals. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:

(2) Decision 15/CP.17 (3) of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in order to implement the use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, determines that from 2015 until a further decision by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC the GWP used by the Parties to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalence of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases should be those listed in Annex III to Decision 15/CP.17.
(3) In order to ensure consistency of the relevant Union legislation with the methodologies used in the context of the UNFCCC process, Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 should be amended accordingly.
(4) In accordance with Article 13(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC, allowances issued from 1 January 2013 are to be valid for emissions for an eight-year trading period beginning on that date. The adjustment of the quantity of allowances to be issued from 1 January 2013 pursuant to Article 9a(1) of that Directive is determined taking into account the GWP listed in Annex III to Decision 15/CP.17 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC. As Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 applies from 1 January 2013, this Regulation should also apply from that date in order to ensure consistency of all greenhouse gas emission data reported throughout the entire eight-year trading period.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, during the 1994/95 marketing year, adjustment aid is to be granted an intervention measure to the refining industry for raw sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy pursuant to Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal; whereas that aid amounts to ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for quantities of such sugar thus imported and refined in Portugal; whereas the quantities of raw sugar imported at a reduced levy are those referred to in the first paragraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession as well as the quantities lacking referred to in the third paragraph of that Article, the import of which at a reduced levy is authorized for the marketing year under consideration;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the abovementioned adjustment aid may be altered for a given marketing year, in the light in particular of the amount of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas although sugar imported into Portugal at a reducd levy is not subject to the storage levy, in view of the quantities of such sugar refined that levy is a determining factor for the prices as a whole on the market for white sugar and therefore for the margin of the Portuguese refineries;
Whereas the amount of the storage levy for the 1994/95 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1545/94 (3) at ECU 3,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas that amount represents a reduction of ECU 1,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar by comparison with that applicable for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas a corresponding alteration in the adjustment aid therefore appears necessary;
Whereas those aids must therefore be altered; whereas account should in addition be taken of the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the previous marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy modifications on the refining margin for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The adjustment aid provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to ECU 1,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1994/95 marketing year.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 of 26 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 as regards the import and export of products in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2416/95 (4), requires the submission of a licence upon export of products of the sheep and goatmeat sector; whereas experience in the operation of the export licence system has demonstrated that the deliverance of this licence creates a disproportionate administrative burden in particular in view of the small quantities that are exported from the Community; whereas it is therefore appropriate to delete this requirement;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 also fixes the list of authorities in exporting countries empowered to issue documents of origin; whereas Poland has changed the authority empowered to issue these documents with effect from 15 November 1995; whereas Annex I to the Regulation should therefore be modified accordingly;

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (2) defines the physical and chemical characteristics of olive oils and olive-residue oils and the methods of analysis of these characteristics. These methods, and the limit values for the characteristics of oils, must be updated on the basis of the opinion of chemical experts and in line with the work carried out within the International Olive Oil Council.
(2) In particular, the chemical experts have concluded that the quantification of the percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate is more precise for the detection of esterified oils. Decreasing the limit value for stigmastadiene in virgin olive oils also makes it possible to achieve better separation of virgin olive oils and refined olive oils.
(3) In order to allow a period of adjustment to the new standards, to give time for introducing the means of applying them and to avoid disturbance to commercial transactions, the amendments to this Regulation should not apply until 1 January 2008. For the same reasons, provision should be made for olive oil and olive-residue oils that are legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and released for free circulation before that date to be marketed until all stocks are used up.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Olive Oil and Table Olives,
Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 is amended as follows:
1. The sixth indent of Article 2(1) is replaced by the following:
‘— for the determination of the percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate, the method set out in Annex VII,’.
2. The Annexes are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2008.
However, products which have been legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and released for free circulation before 1 January 2008 may be marketed until all stocks are used up.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that imported products covered by that Article must be accompanied by a certificate attesting that they satisfy the provisions on production, release for free circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73 (1) of the said Regulation stipulates that if the imported products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by Community rules or not consonant with the provisions of that Regulation or of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas the Council waived this principle by Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3888/89 (4); whereas the period of this waiver expires on 31 July 1990; whereas, so that consultations can continue betweeen the Community and the third country concerned with a view to an agreement on this matter, the term of validity of the waiver should be extended for one year,
In the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84, the date '31 July 1990' is hereby replaced by '31 July 1991'.

authorising the Member States to sign, ratify or accede to, in the interest of the European Community, the Protocol of 2003 to the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992, and authorising Austria and Luxembourg, in the interest of the European Community, to accede to the underlying instruments
(2004/246/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c), in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, and Article 300(3), second subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Protocol to the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992, (hereinafter the Supplementary Fund Protocol), is aimed at ensuring adequate, prompt, and effective compensation of persons who suffer damage caused by oil spills caused by tankers. By significantly raising the limits of compensation available in the present international system, the Supplementary Fund Protocol addresses one of the most significant shortcomings in the international regulation of oil pollution liability.
(2) Articles 7 and 8 of the Supplementary Fund Protocol affect Community legislation on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (2).
(3) The Community has exclusive competence in relation to Articles 7 and 8 of the Protocol, insofar as those Articles affect the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 44/2001. The Member States retain their competence for matters covered by the Protocol which do not affect Community law.
(4) Pursuant to the Supplementary Fund Protocol, only sovereign States may be party to it; it is not therefore possible for the Community to ratify or accede to the Protocol, nor is there a prospect that it will be able to do so in the near future.
(5) The Council should therefore, exceptionally, authorise the Member States to sign and conclude the Supplementary Fund Protocol in the interest of the Community, under the conditions set out in this Decision.
(6) The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and are therefore taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(7) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision, and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
(8) Only Contracting Parties to the underlying instruments may become Contracting Parties to the Supplementary Fund Protocol. Austria and Luxembourg are not currently parties to the underlying instruments. Since the underlying instruments contain provisions affecting Regulation (EC) No 44/2001, Austria and Luxembourg should also be authorised to accede to these instruments.
(9) Member States, with the exception of Austria and Luxembourg, should sign or ratify the Protocol, as far as possible before the end of June 2004. The choice of either signing and subsequently ratifying the Protocol, or signing it without reservation as to ratification, acceptance or approval, is left to the Member States.
(10) The situation of Austria and Luxembourg is different in that they cannot become Contracting Parties to the Supplementary Fund Protocol until they have acceded to the underlying instruments. For this reason, Austria and Luxembourg should therefore accede to the underlying instruments and to the Supplementary Fund Protocol, as far as possible by 31 December 2005 (3),
1. The Member States are hereby authorised to sign, ratify or accede to, in the interest of the European Community, the Protocol of 2003 to the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992, (the Supplementary Fund Protocol) subject to the conditions set out in the following Articles.
2. In addition, Austria and Luxembourg are authorised to accede to the underlying instruments.
3. The text of the Supplementary Fund Protocol is attached in Annex I to this Decision. The text of the underlying instruments is attached in Annexes II and III to this Decision.
4. In this Decision, the term ‘underlying instruments’ shall mean the Protocol of 1992 to amend the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969 and the Protocol of 1992 to amend the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1971.
5. In this Decision, ‘Member State’ means all the Member States with the exception of Denmark.
1. Member States shall take the necessary steps to express their consent to be bound pursuant to Article 19(2) thereof by the Supplementary Fund Protocol within a reasonable time and, if possible, before 30 June 2004, with the exception of Austria and Luxembourg, which express their consent to be bound by the Protocol under the conditions laid down in paragraph 3 of this Article.
2. Member States shall exchange information with the Commission within the Council, by 30 April 2004, on the date on which they expect their internal procedures to be completed.
3. Austria and Luxembourg shall take the necessary steps to express their consent to be bound by the underlying instruments and the Supplementary Fund Protocol, as far as possible, by 31 December 2005.

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 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). 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 22,147 EUR/100 kg.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 229/94 of 1 February 1994 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports into the Community of ethanolamine originating in the United States of America, and collecting definitively the provisional anti-dumping duties
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1) (hereinafter referred to as the 'basic Regulation'), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2172/93 (2) (hereinafter referred to as the 'provisional duty Regulation'), the Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports into the Community of ethanolamines originating in the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as 'the USA') falling within CN codes 2922 11 00, 2922 12 00 and 2922 13 00.
B. Subsequent procedure (2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duties, the producers in the USA, and their related importers in the Community submitted comments in writing, and asked for an extension of the duration of the provisional duty Regulation, in order to establish in particular the effects of the provisional measures on the level of prices and imports. The extension was granted by Council Regulation (EC) No 3344/93 (3).
Also a number of end-users of ethanolamine made certain allegations to the Commission concerning the effects of the provisional duty Regulation on their businesses.
Parties who so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission.
(3) The producers in the USA, their related importers in the Community and the Community producers were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.
(4) The parties' comments were considered, and the Commission altered its conclusions where justified.
C. Product under investigation (5) In its provisional duty Regulation (recital 7) a description of the product, i.e. ethanolamine, was given.
One end-user claimed that the several types of ethanolamine should not be considered as like products because the different types show a different reaction to market forces. However, the further information brought forward by this party confirmed the findings of the Commission with regard to similarity in production process and interchangeability of end-use of the different types of ethanolamine, on which, inter alia, the Commission had founded its conclusion of like product for the different types concerned.
(6) Since the CN codes referred to above also contained the salts made from ethanolamine which are however not covered by the complaint and the proceeding, the Regulation establishing definitive duties and collecting the provisional duties, should exclude these salts from the scope of this Regulation.
The Commission has accordingly adjusted the description of the product to be entered in Articles 1 and 2 of this Regulation.
The Council confirms the findings of the Commission with regard to the like product definition and the adjustment of the description of the product for customs purposes.
D. Dumping Normal value, export price, comparison and dumping margins
(7) No comments were received on the determination of the normal value, export price, comparison and dumping margins as described in recitals 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the provisional duty Regulation.
E. Injury (8) With regard to price undercutting, one USA producer and its related importer, questioned the validity of the Commission findings on price undercutting. The companies were however not able to support their claims with evidence not already taken into account by the Commission. There was, therefore, considered to be no reason to change the price undercutting calculations as given in the provisional duty Regulation.
(9) The same companies repeated their claim that the Commission should have come to the conclusion of 'no injury' because, during the period from 1988 until the end of the investigation period, three Community producers had imported from that USA company a total of 4 587 tonnes and should therefore be excluded from the injury analysis. The remaining Community producer allegedly represented only 16 % of the Community production capacity, and could therefore not constitute 'a major proportion' of Community ethanolamine producers. The companies furthermore claimed that the Community producers concerned had obtained significant benefits from the importation of ethanolamines from the USA.
The Commission requested the companies mentioned to support their allegations by reference to the timing and the prices at which the imports by the indicated Community producers took place. No details have been given, however, other than further allegations that the imports from the USA were made at a time when the Community producers had insufficient capacity to meet demand from ethanolamine users in the Community, and that the imports enabled the Community producers to derive substantial profits in the market for other products that, like ethanolamine, are also derivatives of ethyleneoxide.
In the absence of the requested information, the Commission considered that the demand for exclusion of the Community producers concerned should be rejected since, even if the allegations were confirmed, the tonnage involved would represent, over the five year period in question, no more than 1,2 % of the sales of the Community producers concerned, and no more than 2 % of the total imports from the USA.
The Council confirms this approach.
F. Causation (10) The Commission's conclusions on causality, laid down in recitals 25 to 30 of the provisional duty Regulation were not contested by any party, and are therefore confirmed by the Council.
G. Community interest (11) Recitals 31 to 34 of the provisional duty Regulation dealt with the considerations of the Commission with respect to the Community interest involved. These have not met with subsequent objections from any party.
(12) The end-users which supplied the Commission with information on the price rises by the Community producers, also pointed out the effects of these price rises on their cost of production and on their competitive position on the Community market.
The Commission has asked those end-users to indicate more precisely the effects on the costs of production of the provisional measures and additionally the benefits they drew from the dumped imports. No additional information has, however, been provided by those end-users.
The Commission therefore maintains its position that, since the provisional measures do not increase the prices of ethanolamine above the average price of the last five years, the effect of the provisional measures on the cost of production of the end products was limited. The imposition of definitive measures is further justified in view of the price rises in the longer run that would occur in their absence as indicated in recital 32 of the provisional duty Regulation.
Since all intermediate users of ethanolamine are faced with the same effects of the provisional measures, these measures do not affect the competitive position of these users.
The Council confirms these conclusions of the Commission.
H. Level of minimum import price (13) USA exporters and their related importers expressed doubts, however, about the preparedness of the Community industry to raise its prices to a level necessary to enable it to cover its costs and to obtain a reasonable return on sales. They feared that the Community industry would undercut the prices of the USA suppliers in order to increase its market share. In this way, the effect of the minimum-import price would be a limitation of competition on the market, which would not be in the interest of the Community.
One of these interested parties referred to the actual decrease of exports directly after the entering into force of the provisional measures as proof of the probability of price undercutting by the Community producers.
During the extended period of validity of the provisional duty Regulation, no further information was submitted by any USA producers or related importer confirming the alleged development.
The Commission, however, received information from a number of end-users pointing to an increase in the Community producers' prices and at their lack of capacity to fulfill completely the demand on the Community market.
The Commission therefore recalls its conclusions, as stated in recitals 33 and 35 of the provisional duty Regulation, and in particular that, while the chosen level of minimum import prices would enable the Community industry to cover its costs and to obtain a reasonable return on sales, its lack of capacity would also enable third country producers to continue to supply the Community market. Under such competitive conditions, the Community industry would not be able to achieve oligopolistic profitability.
In view of this situation, there is no reason for the Commission to change its approach for establishing the level of the minimum import prices.
(14) One USA exporter and its related importer submitted a cost calculation for the most efficient Community producer, attempting to show that the level of the minimum import price was higher than that necessary for the Community industry to cover its costs and obtain a reasonable return on sales, and would therefore not be in the interest of the end-users of ethanolamine.
The Commission compared this cost calculation with its own findings during the investigation, and has come to the conclusion that the assumptions in the calculation of the USA company were not fully in conformity with the real situation with which the Community industry was faced during the investigation period.
Additional information gathered by the Commission in respect of the current costs in the Community does not show a significant difference between the current costs and the costs during the investigation period.
Another USA exporter and its related importer claimed that the 8 % profit level used by the Commission was totally unrealistic and did not take account of the nature of the market.
The Commission had, however, based this figure on the information obtained during the investigation from all parties, and, in particular on that from the USA producers.
The Commission therefore finds no reason to change the level of the minimum import price.
The Council confirms this conclusion.
I. Nature of the anti-dumping measures (15) The reasoning of the Commission as regards the type of the provisional anti-dumping measures, as laid down in recitals 35 to 38 of the provisional duty Regulation has not been contested by any party. The Commission therefore maintains the same reasoning as far as the definitive measures are concerned.
The Council confirms this approach.
J. Collection of provisional duties (16) With respect to provisional duties, it is Community practice to collect these duties definitively if substantial injurious dumping provisionally determined is confirmed at the definitive stage and if the situation with respect to the injurious effect of the dumped imports to the Community market has not fundamentally changed since the imposition of the provisional duties.
In the present case, substantial injurious dumping was definitively confirmed. It was therefore considered that these duties should be collected in full.
Imports of ethanolamine salts should, however, be exempted from this collection,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of ethanolamine, with the exclusion of salt of ethanolamine, falling within CN codes ex 2922 11 00, ex 2922 12 00 and ex 2922 13 00, originating in the United States of America.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the outbreak of avian influenza, caused by a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus strain, in south-eastern Asia starting in December 2003, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to avian influenza. Those measures included, in particular, Commission Decision 2005/692/EC of 6 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several third countries (3), Commission Decision 2005/733/EC of 19 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Turkey and repealing Decision 2005/705/EC (4) and Commission Decision 2006/7/EC of 9 January 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to the import of feathers from certain third countries (5).
(2) Commission Decision 2005/759/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain countries and the movement from third countries of birds accompanying their owners (6) and Commission Decision 2005/760/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds (7) lay down certain protection measures concerning the importation of unprocessed feathers, birds other than poultry and birds accompanying their owners from third countries.
(3) For the sake of clarity and transparency, the provisions relating to these imports in Decision 2005/692/EC should be deleted. It is furthermore appropriate to delete any reference to the import of products produced before 1 January 2004, as these products have been in cold storage for more than two years and most stocks should now be depleted. A transitional period will be provided to give business operators time to dispose of any possibly remaining stocks.
(4) Decision 2005/692/EC applies until 30 September 2006. However, as outbreaks of the Asian lineage of the avian influenza virus still occur in south-east Asia and China, it is appropriate to prolong the application of that Decision until 31 December 2007.
(5) Decision 2005/733/EC applies until 31 July 2006. However, outbreaks of the Asian lineage of the avian influenza virus still occur in the region. It is therefore appropriate to prolong the application of that Decision until 31 December 2006.
(6) In the interests of clarity of Community legislation, the title of Decision 2006/7/EC should be slightly amended to specify that it applies to all third countries.
(7) Since the adoption of Decision 2006/7/EC, the Commission has been revising the existing permanent Community measures concerning imports of feathers, in particular the relevant provisions concerning import requirements for untreated feathers laid down in Chapter VIII of Annex VIII of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (8). That legislative procedure however has not been completed.
(8) Decision 2006/7/EC applies until 31 July 2006. However, new cases of avian influenza have been confirmed several times in a number of third countries in several continents recently, both in poultry flocks and in wild birds. Therefore the period of application of that Decision should be extended until 31 December 2006.
(9) Decisions 2005/692/EC, 2005/733/EC and 2006/7/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/692/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, paragraphs 2 and 3 are deleted.
2. Article 4 is deleted.
3. In Article 7, the date ‘30 September 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2007’.
In Article 6 of Decision 2005/733/EC, the date ‘31 July 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
Decision 2006/7/EC is amended as follows:
1. The title is replaced by the following:
2. In Article 4, the date ‘31 July 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
The Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall apply from 27 July 2006.
(1) shall apply from 1 October 2006.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (2), and in particular Article 79 (3) thereof,
Whereas the experience gained by the competent bodies in the Member States has demonstrated the need for more effective controls on the preparation of products which are offered on the wine market, in particular as regards compliance with national and Community provisions governing the adjustment of the potential and actual alcoholic strength of grape must and wines;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2048/89 of 19 June 1989 laying down general rules on controls in the wine sector (3), provides that each Member State must forward to the Joint Research Centre, hereinafter called the 'JRC', samples and analysis reports to be determined for the establishment of an analytical databank for wine products;
Whereas adjustment of the potential and actual alcoholic strength of grape must and wines by the addition of sucrose of concentrated grape must or of rectified concentrated grape must is an oenological practice which is sometimes used fraudulently in that the approved limits are exceeded or the alcoholic strength of wine products which cannot legally by enriched is adjusted; whereas the analysis of wine or wine products by nuclear magnetic resonance of the deuterium in the ethyl alcohol contained in these products is a method of analysis recognized by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 (4); whereas the application of this method of analysis can improve checks on the enrichment of wine products; whereas, in order to facilitate interpretation of the results obtained by this method of analysis and to make it more trustworthy, an analytical databank should be created to enable comparison of the results obtained by the above method of analysis and those obtained using the same method during previous analyses of products with similar physico-chemical characteristics as a result of their originating in the same or in a neighbouring area and of other conditions of production;
Whereas detection of the enrichment of wines requires particular attention; whereas, therefore at least initially, provisions should be made for the analytical databank to be restricted to date obtained from samples analysed by nuclear magnetic resonance of deuterium;
Whereas the analysis of wine products by nuclear magnetic resonance of deuterium is a relatively new method; whereas to extend scientific exchanges between the official laboratories and promote cooperation in the interpretation of analytical results, the databank at the JRC should be accessible to the official laboratories using this method of analysis and to other official bodies requesting such access, subject to observance of the principles of the protection of private information;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
An analytical databank for wine products at the JRC is hereby established pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2048/89.
This databank shall be limited to data obtained from the analysis of wine products by nuclear magnetic resonance of the deuterium contained in the ethyl alcohol of the product in question in accordance with the method described in Chapter 8 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90. The databank is to help harmonize interpretation of the results obtained by the official laboratories of the Member States by imposing the above method of analysis.
1. For the establishment of the analytical databank referred to in Article 1, samples of fresh grapes for analysis shall be taken, treated and processed into wine in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2347/91 (5).
The samples of fresh grapes shall be taken from vineyards situated in a wine-growing area of clearly defined soil type, situation, vine training system, variety, age and cultural practices.
Samples shall be taken each year, beginning in 1991, and shall be analysed in one of the official laboratories of the Member States. Wine-producing Member States not equipped to carry out analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance shall send their wine samples to the JRC for analysis.
The number of samples to be taken each year for the databank at the JRC shall be at least:
- 400 samples in France
- 400 samples in Italy
- 200 samples in Germany
- 100 samples in Spain
- 50 samples in Portugal
- 50 samples in Greece
- 2 samples in Luxembourg
- 2 samples in the United Kingdom.
The selection of samples must take account of the geographical situation of vineyards in the above Member States. It may be adjusted in the light of the results if the examination as referred to in Article 4.
2. Each year at least 25 % of the samples shall be taken from the same vineyards as in the previous year.
3. The samples referred to in paragraph 1 shall be analysed by the method described in Chapter 8 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 by laboratories to be designated by the Member States or by the JRC. An analysis report shall be drawn up in accordance with the specimen given in the Annex.
A description sheet shall be drawn up for each sample in accordance with the instructions given in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2347/91.
4. A copy of the report with the results and interpretation of the analyses performed by the laboratory of a Member State in accordance with this Regulation along with a copy of the description sheet shall be sent to the JRC.
5. Member States and the JRC shall ensure that:
- the information in the analytical databank is kept for not less than five wine-growing years following the year to which it refers,
- at least one control sample from the samples sent to the JRC for analysis is kept for at least three years from the date the sample is taken,
- the databank is used only for monitoring the application of Community and national wine legislation or for statistical or scientific purposes,
- measures are taken to guarantee protection of the data, in particular against theft and tampering,
- files are made available, without undue delay or cost, to those to whom they relate so that any inaccuracies can be rectified.
Member States carrying out their own analysis of wine products by nuclear magnetic resonance shall send at least 10 % of the samples referred to in the fourth subparagraph of Article 2 (1) for control analysis by the JRC or by any other laboratory officially designated by the JRC. The JRC shall select the samples to be put at its disposal.
Pursuant to Article 17 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2048/89 the Commission shall send the following to the Management Committee for Wine for examination:
- results of analyses to be included in the JRC databank,
- measures to be applied in cases where the results of analyses and their interpretation with regard to the same product diverge,
- an assessment of the statistical parameters of the results of analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance,
- any amendments to the procedure for the establishment of the databank laid down in Article 2 (1), in particular, with regard to the number of samples to be taken in each vineyard,
- the date by which the information stored in the JRC databank shall be considered as representative of all Community vineyards and, if necessary, the conditions permitting the interpretation of the results of analysis by reference to this databank. This date shall be no later than 31 March 1993.
1. The information contained in the JRC databank shall be made available on request to each official laboratory of the Member States from the date laid down in the fifth indent of Article 4.
2. In duly substantiated cases, the information referred to in paragraph 1, when representative, may be made available to other bodies responsible for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2048/89 and, on request, to other official bodies.
From the date of the entry into force of this Regulation Member States shall ensure that the results of analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance contained in their own databanks are obtained by analyzing samples taken and processed in accordance with Community rules.
Until the information stored in the JRC databank becomes available, Member States may use the information contained on 1 September 1991 in the national databanks and obtained by procedures which differ from those set out in the Community provisions.
The second and third paragraphs of point 2 of Chapter 8 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 shall be deleted with effect from the date laid down in the fifth indent of Article 4.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 November 2002 on the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV)(1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 established a single classification system applicable to public procurement to standardise the references used by contracting authorities and entities to describe the subject matter of their contracts.
(2) The structure and codes of the CPV may need to be adapted or amended in the light of developments in the markets and users' needs.
(3) The structure and codes of the CPV should be updated to take account of specific needs expressed by Member States and by users of the CPV and to correct material errors that were detected in the various linguistic versions.
(4) Technical adjustments and improvements, which were identified during the legislative process leading to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 but which could not be taken into account in that Regulation, should be introduced in the Annexes to that Regulation.
(5) In its opinion(2) on the proposal for a Regulation on the CPV the Committee of the Regions pointed out that the classification of medicines required improvement and recommended the use of the "Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical" (ATC) classification system drawn up by the World Health Organisation to complete the CPV structure and codes for medicinal products.
(6) Interested parties and CPV users made specific suggestions for improvements of the CPV.
(7) The update of the CPV codes and structure should be reflected in the illustrative tables showing the correspondence between the CPV and the Provisional Central Product Classification (CPC Prov.) of the United Nations, the General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities (NACE Rev. 1) and the Combined Nomenclature (CN).
(8) In the interest of clarity, the CPV should be replaced entirely as well as the correspondence table between the CPV and the CPC Prov. All amendments to the CPV codes or their descriptions should be listed in a separate new Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002.
(9) The entry into force of Commission Regulation (EC) No 204/2002 of 19 December 2001(3) amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3696/93 on the statistical classification of products by activity (CPA) in the European Economic Community has rendered obsolete the information given in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002, which shows the correspondence between the CPV and the CPA 96.
(10) In Common Position (EC) No 33/2003 of 20 March 2003 adopted by the Council with a view to adopting a directive of the European Parliament and the Council on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts(4) and Common Position (EC) No 34/2003 of 20 March 2003 adopted by the Council with a view to adopting a directive of the European Parliament and the Council coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors(5), product areas are not established by means of reference to the statistical classification of products by activity (CPA).
(11) For those reasons, it is not appropriate to update the correspondence table between the CPV and the CPA 96 set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002. That Annex should therefore be deleted.
(12) Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Public Procurement,
Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 is amended as follows:
Annex I is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation;
Annex II is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation;

of 29 September 2008
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include diuron as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) 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 included diuron. By Commission Decision 2007/417/EC (4) it was decided not to include diuron in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier submitted on 26 June 2007 a new application to Denmark, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.
(3) Denmark assessed the information submitted by the notifier and prepared an additional report on 15 November 2007, recommending the inclusion of the substance in Annex I.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5), entered into force on 25 January 2008. In the case of diuron the rapporteur Member State completed the assessment of the additional information submitted by the notifier before the entry into force of that Regulation, taking into account the same criteria as provided for in Article 15 of that Regulation. Given this situation the Commission evaluated the additional report, and where relevant the draft assessment report, and the recommendation by the Member State in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The draft review report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and finalised on 11 July 2008 in the format of the Commission review report for diuron. It concentrated on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion. Those were the unacceptable operator exposure, the inconclusive nature of the assessment of a possible risk for groundwater, due to uncertainties as regards the fate of certain metabolites, and the lack of data demonstrating that the risk to birds and mammals is acceptable.
(6) As set out in that report the instructions by the notifier now require applications to be made with significantly smaller quantities of diuron. As a result, acceptable levels of operator exposure can be demonstrated, some of them linked to the use of protective equipment. As regards the risk to groundwater, the degradation pattern of certain metabolites has been clarified by the notifier and reviewed by the rapporteur Member State which agreed that when applied to the models for groundwater, the trigger value is not exceeded. Finally, on the basis of the refined assessments that have now been submitted by the notifier, the risk to birds and mammals may be considered as acceptable.
(7) Consequently, the additional data provided by the notifier permit to eliminate the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion. No other open scientific questions have arisen. Consequently, the consultation of the European Food Safety Authority was not considered necessary.
(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing diuron may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include diuron in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force by 31 March 2009 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 October 2008.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
