(7) For administrative reasons it is appropriate to provide that requests for reduction of the amount of the refund certificate and release of the security are to be made within a short period and that the amounts for which reductions have been accepted are to be notified to the Commission in time for their inclusion in the determination of the amount for which refund certificates for use from 1 April 2004 are to be issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000.
(8) Since the amendments to the Combined Nomenclature introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1789/2003 and the amendments introduced by Regulation (EC) No 39/2004 are applicable from 1 January 2004 and 1 February 2004 respectively, the amendments provided for in this Regulation should be applicable from the same dates.

Refund certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 in respect of exports of the agricultural products for which export refunds have been abolished pursuant to point (b) of Article 1 of this Regulation may, at the request of the interested party, be reduced if each of the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) the certificates have been applied for before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
(b) the validity of the certificates expires after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
2. The certificate shall be reduced by the amount for which the interested party is unable to claim export refunds following the entry into force of the amendment provided for in point (b) of Article 1 as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the national competent authority.
In making their appraisal the competent authorities shall, in cases of doubt, have regard in particular to the commercial documents referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89.
3. The relevant security shall be released in proportion to the reduction concerned.
1. For a request to be eligible for consideration under Article 2, the national competent authority must receive it by 7 March 2004, at the latest.

(Only the French text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/714/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
1.1. Procedural overview
(1) On 30 January 2002, after a formal investigation procedure, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/610/EC (1) approving, subject to certain conditions set out below, an aid scheme to promote the start-up of new short sea shipping services, hereinafter referred to as the ‘final decision’. The 26th recital of the final decision states that France accepts procedural conditions which are in particular binding on projects granting aid to an intra-Community sea shipping service between a French port and a port of another Member State and not on those involving sea shipping services between two French ports.
(2) On 18 November 2004 the French authorities asked the Commission to amend the final decision to take account of the new, more favourable provisions of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport (2), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community guidelines’.
1.2. Title of the measure
(3) The measure to which the final decision refers is entitled: régime d’aides en faveur du lancement de nouvelles lignes de transport maritime à courte distance (Aid scheme for the start-up of new short sea shipping services).
1.3. Objectives of the amendments
(4) The main objective of the proposed amendments is to take into account the new legal framework provided by the Community guidelines as regards aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services and to make the conditions imposed by the final decision compatible with these new Community guidelines on State aid.
(5) Recital 26 of the final decision states that ‘To ensure transparency and equal treatment of operators during the project selection procedure, the French authorities have given an undertaking to observe the following procedures:
(a) a call for expressions of interest will be published periodically (for example, at the beginning of each year) in the form of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities giving details of the arrangements for the aid scheme, the procedure to be followed and the selection criteria;
(b) in the case of projects between a port in France and a port in another Member State, a declaration of intent will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities giving details of the objective of the project and of the aid ceiling envisaged. This will invite interested parties to express their interest within 15 working days. If any interested party opposes the aid scheme, stating the reasons, the scheme will have to be notified to the Commission for prior authorisation.’
(6) According to the French authorities, the procedures referred to in particular in paragraph (b) of this recital turn out to take a long time to implement and are therefore prejudicial to the smooth progress of such projects.
2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDMENT
(7) The French authorities would like to see the final decision amended so as to reflect Chapter 10 of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport, which is the chapter dealing with aid to short sea shipping services.
3. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
3.1. Provisions of the new Community rules
(8) The Commission notes first of all that the previous Community guidelines (3), which were applicable when the final decision was adopted, laid down no particular rule on aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services. Accordingly, it was not illogical for the Commission to lay down in its final decision particular ad hoc rules for approving the specific French scheme designed to support the start-up of short sea shipping services.
(9) The Commission also notes that in the mean time it has adopted new Community guidelines and that the latter now provide a framework for State aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services modelled on the objectives pursued by Regulation (EC) No 1382/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 2003 on the granting of Community financial assistance to improve the environmental performance of the freight transport system (Marco Polo Programme) (4), which was likewise adopted after the final decision.
(10) Chapter 10 of the new Community guidelines provides that individual aid for short sea shipping services is to be considered compatible with the common market if it fulfils the following conditions:
‘— the aid must not exceed three years in duration and its purpose must be to finance a shipping service connecting ports situated in the territory of the Member States,
— the service must be of such a kind as to permit transport (of cargo essentially) by road to be carried out wholly or partly by sea, without diverting maritime transport in a way which is contrary to the common interest,
— the aid must be directed at implementing a detailed project with a pre-established environmental impact, concerning a new route or the upgrading of services on an existing one, associating several shipowners if necessary, with no more than one project financed per line and with no renewal, extension or repetition of the project in question,
— the purpose of the aid must be to cover, either up to 30 % (5) of the operational costs of the service in question, or to finance the purchase of trans-shipment equipment to supply the planned service, up to a level of 10 % in such investment,
— the aid to implement a project must be granted on the basis of transparent criteria applied in a non-discriminatory way to shipowners established in the Community. The aid should normally be granted for a project selected by the authorities of the Member State through a tender procedure in compliance with applicable Community rules,
— the service which is the subject of the project must be of a kind which can be commercially viable after the period in which it is eligible for public funding,
— such aid must not be combined with public service compensation (obligations or contracts).’
(11) In particular, the Commission notes that the new Community guidelines make no distinction as to whether the shipping service assisted plies between two ports of two different Member States or of the same Member State. The Commission considers that there is no longer any objective reason for maintaining the distinction between the two types of situations, as explained in recital 26 of the final decision.
(12) Moreover, the Commission considers that the Community guidelines do not prevent a Member State from implementing a scheme providing aid to short sea shipping services if the individual aid granted under this scheme meets the abovementioned conditions.
3.2. Consequences of applying the final decision without amendment
(13) The option of not changing the final decision would, on the one hand, enable France to grant individual aid to services between French ports under conditions more favourable than those provided in the new Community guidelines and, on the other hand, penalise France in setting up projects for services between a French port and a port of another Member State through formal procedures as envisaged in recital 26 of the final decision. Not only do these formal procedures lack any raison d’être in the light of the new Community guidelines but they also place France in a position of inequality in relation to other States which on the basis of the new Community guidelines wish to establish aid schemes or grant individual aid on an ad hoc basis to short sea shipping services with their neighbours.
(14) In accordance with Article 88(1) of the Treaty, the Commission must also keep existing schemes under constant review. To this end, it must verify that the rules governing State aid apply uniformly to all existing schemes in the Member States. In particular, the Commission must propose to the latter any appropriate measures required by the progressive development or by the functioning of the common market when more restrictive Community rules enter into force. Otherwise, the Commission would not be able to maintain, pursuant to one of its earlier conditional final decisions, a constraint on a scheme of one Member State while the other Member States implementing similar schemes would not be subject to such a constraint.
3.3. Advantage of the change
(15) The option of changing the final decision would make it possible to anticipate the application of the new Community guidelines to the scheme existing in France for the start-up of short sea shipping services before the deadline laid down by the Commission in the new Community guidelines, namely 30 June 2005, so that Member States can, through appropriate measures, bring all their existing schemes into line with the new Community guidelines.
4. CONCLUSION
(16) In conclusion the Commission considers that Decision 2002/610/EC should be amended. The proposed amendment will enable France to bring its scheme into line with the provisions laid down in the new Community guidelines in respect of sea shipping services between a French port and a port of another Member State and will also enable projects granting aid to sea shipping services between two French ports to be made subject to the conditions laid down in the new Community guidelines. More generally, this amendment will mean that France will be implementing its scheme under conditions identical to those prevailing in all the other Member States in pursuance of the said guidelines,
The following third subparagraph shall be added to Article 1 of Decision 2002/610/EC:
‘France shall make the granting of individual aid within the framework of this scheme subject to compliance with Chapter 10 of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport (6).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 42,616/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 2002.

Having regard to Decision No 1194/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 November 2011 establishing a European Union action for the European Heritage Label (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Decision No 1194/2011/EU provides that a European panel of independent experts (‘European panel’) is to be established and that this panel is to include 13 members appointed by the European institutions and bodies, four of whom are to be appointed for a three-year term by the Council.
(2) Each institution and body should seek to ensure that the competences of the members of the European panel it appoints are as complementary as possible.
(3) At the time of submitting candidates to become members of the European panel, Member States which already have one or more experts in that panel who were appointed by an institution or body other than the Council, are encouraged to take into account enhancing geographical and gender balance within the European panel when deciding on their participation in the process.
(4) It is appropriate for the Council to decide on the practical and procedural arrangements for the appointment of its four members of the European panel.
(5) These arrangements should be fair, easy to implement, non-discriminatory, transparent, and should seek to ensure that the members appointed to the European panel duly fulfil their obligations.
(6) These arrangements should be adapted, if necessary, in the light of the results of the evaluations of the action for the European Heritage Label provided for in Article 18 of Decision No 1194/2011/EU,
The Council shall decide on the appointment of four members of the European panel in accordance with the practical and procedural arrangements laid down in Article 2.
1. Member States shall be invited to make submissions of candidates to become members of the European panel. The participation of Member States in the process shall be voluntary. Each Member State shall have the right to submit only one candidate. In order to ensure a balanced geographical representation, Member States which have experts appointed by the Council for the previous term shall be excluded from participation.
2. Submissions shall be made in writing and clearly demonstrate that a given candidate is an independent expert with substantial experience and expertise in the fields relevant to the objectives of the action, and is committed to work on the European panel, in line with the requirements laid down in part 1 of the Annex. Those submissions shall also contain a duly signed declaration as set out in part 2 of the Annex.

— education and youth,
— cultural management, including the heritage dimension,
— communication and tourism.
4. A draw shall be organised from among the submissions acknowledged by the relevant preparatory body of the Council with a view to selecting one candidate in each of the four categories referred to in paragraph 3. The first name drawn for each category shall be considered as selected. This selection shall subsequently be approved by the Council.
5. If there are no candidates in one or more categories, one or more additional candidates shall be drawn from the categories in which there are most candidates. If there is only one candidate in a given category, that candidate is deemed to be selected without a draw.
6. If a member of the European panel is not able to fulfil his or her mandate, the Member State that appointed that member shall appoint a replacement as soon as possible. This appointment shall fulfil the requirements laid down in parts 1 and 2 of the Annex and apply for the remainder of the term of office of that member.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 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) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(5) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(6) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded for 1993 to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceilings fixed in column 6 of Annex I;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN codes 8527, 8528 and 8529, originating in Malaysia, the individual ceiling was fixed at ECU 4 631 000; whereas on 10 February 1993, imports of these products into the Community originating in Malaysia reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question with regard to Malaysia,

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 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 (EEC) No 1766/92 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(3) 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 measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 relating to the common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), as modified by Regulation (EC) No 1325/95 (2), and in particular Article 17 (3) and (6) and Article 21 (2) and (3), in relation to Article 25 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2944/94 (3) established specific rules for the management and distribution of all quantitative textile quotas established by Regulation (EC) No 517/94 and, for 1995, opened a first tranche for distribution on the basis of the requests notified by the Member States' competent authorities between 3 December and 15 December 1994;
Whereas for these quotas of which the level has been increased by Regulation (EC) No 1325/95 to take into account the accession of the new Member States it is appropriate to open rapidly a second tranche and to foresee that it will cover quantities not covered by Regulation (EC) No 2944/94, with the exception of those relating to quotas applicable to products originating in the People's Republic of China, since the bilateral agreement on textile products not covered by the MFA bilateral agreement of 1988, initialled on 19 January 1995 and put into provisional application by Council Decision 95/155/EC (4) foresees that these quantities will be export managed by the Peoples' Republic of China;
Whereas past experience accumulated during the allocation of the quantities of the first tranche tends to indicate, taking into account the quantities notified by the competent authorities of the Member States, that the continuation of the same method based on the taking into account of traditional trade flows seems to be indicated on account of the motives which led to it being retained in Regulation (EC) No 2944/94, for a limited number of quotas; it is therefore appropriate, for the allocation of the second tranche, to maintain it, mutatis mutandis, only for these quotas and to foresee that other quotas will be allocated according to the method based on the chronological order of reception by the Commission of Member States' notifications, following the principle of 'first come, first served`; this choice relies on the consideration that this method constitutes, according to the letter and the spirit of Regulation (EC) No 517/94, the basic method of allocation; it is however appropriate with a view to satisfying the largest number of operators to limit the quantities to be allocated to each operator, on the basis of this method, to a predetermined quantity to a level however sufficient to allow operators concerned to make transactions economically justifiable;
Whereas for optimum use of the quantities which will be confirmed pursuant to this Regulation it is appropriate to fix the period of validity of the import authorizations to six months from the date of issuing and to allow their issuance by the Member States, after notification of the Commission decision to the Member States and provided that the operator concerned can justify the existence of a contract and certifies not to have already benefited for the category and the country concerned of an import authorization within the Community in application of the present Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
This Regulation specifies certain rules concerning the management of the second tranche of quantitative limits established by Regulation (EC) No 517/94 and applicable for 1995 as indicated in Annex I. It indicates rules for the allocation applicable to quantities still available within these quotas.
TITLE I
The second tranche of quotas referred to in Article 1 and indicated Annex II is distributed from the date of entry into force of the present Regulation in chronological order of reception by the Commission of the notifications by the Member States of requests for quantities not exceeding for each operator the predetermined quantities indicated in Annex IV, according to the principle first come, first served.
TITLE II
The second tranche of the quantitative limits referred to in Annex III is divided into two parts, one reserved for the traditional importers, the other to the other operators for quantities as indicated in the said Annex. These quantities are distributed following the modalities specified in Articles 4 to 7 on the basis of requests for import authorizations introduced by the operators up to 17 July 1995 to the competent Member State authorities. The quantities requested are notified to the Commission by the said authorities at the latest on 20 July 1995.
Those to be regarded as traditional importers of a category of products originating in one of the countries referred to in Annex III will be importers who furnish proof to the competent Member State authorities of having imported, during 1992, products falling within the same category and originating in the same country.
The amount which can be allocated to any individual traditional importer for each of the categories and countries concerned will not be able to exceed the quantities actually imported in 1992 by each one of them for these same categories and countries.
If all quantities to be allocated to traditional importers on the basis of the quantities notified by Member States exceed the part which is reserved for them, the quantities allocated to each one of them will be reduced proportionally.
The quantities reserved for other importers is allocated by application of the method of distribution in proportion to the requested quantities, the quantities susceptible to requests by each importer may not exceed the quantities indicated in Annex IV of the present Regulation.
Member States will inform the Commission within the time limit as indicated in Article 3 by category and countries concerned, as mentioned in Annex III, including the quantities required as well as the number of operators and indicating, if necessary, for those demands introduced by traditional importers within the meaning of Article 4, the quantities imported by each one of them during 1992.
On the basis of the total amounts transmitted, the Commission will adopt the quantitative criteria on the basis of which, in application of the present Title, the competent authorities from the Member States can issue the import authorizations.
If quantities for a product and a country concerned are still available within the part reserved for a category of operators, the Commission can, in accordance with the procedure of Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94, transfer these quantities to the part reserved for the other category of importers with a view to distributing in conformity with the quantitative criteria applicable to this category of operators.
The quantities which remain available after allocation on the basis of the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 will be allocated in chronological order of reception by the Commission of Member States' notifications following the principle of first come, first served, as from 1 September 1995, at 10 a.m. Brussels time, whatever is the quality of the operators concerned.
TITLE III
The duration of validity for import authorizations issued by the competent Member State authorities is six months as from the date of issuing.
Import authorizations will be granted by the competent Member State only after notification of the decision of the Commission and in as far as the operator concerned can prove the existence of a contract and certifies by a written declaration not to have already benefited from an import authorization inside the Community issued pursuant to this Regulation for the category and the country concerned.

amending Annex IV to Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards the list of fish species susceptible to Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia and the deletion of the entry for Epizootic ulcerative syndrome
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 61(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/88/EC lays down, inter alia, certain animal health rules applicable to aquaculture animals and products thereof, including specific provisions concerning the exotic and non-exotic diseases and species susceptible thereto, listed in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive.
(2) Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) is included in the list of exotic diseases set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.
(3) Part I of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC sets out the criteria for listing exotic and non-exotic diseases in Part II of that Annex. According to those criteria, exotic diseases are to have the potential for significant economic impact if introduced into the Union, either by production losses in Union aquaculture or by restricting the potential for trade in aquaculture animals and products thereof. Alternatively, they are to have potential for detrimental environmental impact if introduced into the Union, to wild aquatic animal populations of species, which are an asset worth protecting by Union law or international provisions.
(4) On 15 September 2011, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on Animal Health and Welfare adopted a Scientific Opinion on Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome (2) (the EFSA opinion). In that opinion, the EFSA concludes that the impact of EUS in Union aquaculture would range from no impact to low impact.
(5) In addition, the EFSA opinion states that it is likely that EUS has repeatedly entered into the Union via ornamental fish import from third countries and that such fish may have released into Union waters. Under these circumstances, and considering the fact that no outbreaks of EUS have been reported in the Union, there is no evidence to suggest that EUS has the potential for detrimental environmental impact.
(6) In view of the EFSA conclusions and of the available scientific evidence, EUS does no longer meet the criteria set out in Part I of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC in order to be listed in Part II of that Annex.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to delete the entry for Epizootic ulcerative syndrome from the list of exotic diseases set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.
(8) In addition, Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC includes a list of species regarded as susceptible to Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.
(9) Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is susceptible to the non-exotic fish disease Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia. Clinical outbreaks of that disease were confirmed in certain regions of Asia.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to include Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in the list of species susceptible to Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.
(11) Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 1 January 2013 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.
2. They shall apply those provisions from 1 January 2013.
3. 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.
4. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

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 market in sugar (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1599/96 (2), and in particular Articles 14 (2) and 37 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that, during the marketing years 1995/96 to 2000/01 and in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a special reduced duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in States with which the Community has concluded supply arrangements on preferential terms; whereas at present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 95/284/EC (3) only with the ACP States party to Protocol 8 on ACP sugar annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC LomĂŠ Convention, and with the Republic of India;
Whereas the quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are calculated in accordance with the said Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance; whereas the balance indicates the need to import raw sugar and to open at this stage for the 1997/98 marketing year a tariff quota at the special reduced rate of duty as provided for in the abovementioned agreements so that the Community refineries' supply need can be met for part of the year; whereas the production forecasts for raw cane sugar are now available for the 1997/98 marketing year; whereas a tariff quota should be opened at this stage for part of the marketing year; whereas, because of the presumed maximum refining needs fixed by Member State and the shortfall resulting from the forecast supply balance, provision should be made to authorize imports for each refining Member State, for the period 1 July 1997 to 28 February 1998;
Whereas the above agreements lay down that the refiners in question must pay a minimum purchase price equal to the guaranteed price for raw sugar, minus the adjustment aid fixed for the marketing year in question; whereas this minimum price must accordingly be fixed by taking account of the factors applying in the 1997/98 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The following tariff quotas are hereby opened for the period 1 July 1997 to 28 February 1998 under Decision 95/284/EC in respect of imports of raw cane sugar for refining:
(a) 255 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the ACP States covered by that Decision; and
(b) 10 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the Republic of India.
1. A special reduced duty of ECU 5,41 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar shall apply to imports of the quantities referred to in Article 1.
2. Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 (4) notwithstanding, the minimum purchase price to be paid by the Community refiners shall be fixed for the period referred to in Article 1 at ECU 49,68 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar.
The following Member States are hereby authorized to import under the quotas referred to in Article 1 and on the terms laid down in Article 2 (1) the following shortfall expressed as white sugar:
(a) Finland: 48 000 tonnes;
(b) metropolitan France: 12 000 tonnes,
(c) mainland Portugal: 205 000 tonnes,

Whereas Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for the possibility of setting an intervention threshold if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from widespread structural imbalances giving, or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals; whereas such a development would be likely to cause budget problems for the Community;
Whereas an intervention threshold was fixed for tomatoes for the 1997 marketing year in Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 (3); whereas, since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that product, a new threshold should be set for the 1998 marketing year equal to that set for the 1997 marketing year, and the period to be taken into account for the assessment of the overrun of the threshold should also be determined;
Whereas, pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded; whereas the consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun fixed, but restricted to a certain percentage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The intervention threshold for tomatoes for the 1998 marketing year shall be 360 000 tonnes.
2. The overrun of the intervention threshold laid down in paragraph 1 shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals effected between 1 November 1997 and 31 October 1998.
If the quantity subject to withdrawals during the period set in Article 1(2) exceeds the threshold set in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation set in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
However, the reduction in the Community compensation shall not exceed 30 %.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2249/1999 of 22 October 1999 opening a tariff quota for the import of meat of bovine animals, boneless, dried(1), and in particular its Article 2,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2249/1999 provides for the opening of a pluri-annual import tariff quota of 700 tonnes of dried boneless beef; detailed rules of application of that quota should be laid down;
(2) the quota concerned related to beef falling under CN code ex 0210 20 90; a precise definition of the eligible products should be provided; for reasons of control, imports under that quota should be subject to the presentation of a certificate of authenticity attesting that the meat corresponds exactly to the eligible definition; it is necessary to establish a model for those certificates and lay down detailed rules for their use;
(3) the import arrangements should be managed using import licences; to this end rules should be set on submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1127/1999(3), and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2648/98(5);

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas from the application on 1 July 1995 of the new import arrangements for agricultural products, as established by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, variable import levies will no longer apply; whereas in their place the duties of the Common Customs Tariff will apply, except where special rules apply in certain sectors;
Whereas import licences generally have a period of validity of several months; whereas, therefore, levies fixed in advance from April may, in many cases, be valid beyond 30 June 1995, making the import charges resulting from the new arrangements partly inapplicable; whereas it is therefore necessary, in the cereals, rice and beef and veal sectors, governed respectively by Council Regulations (EEC) No 1766/92 (2), (EEC) No 1418/76 (3) and (EEC) No 805/68 (4), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, where advance fixing of the levy is permitted to limit the application of levies fixed in advance to imports effected on or before 30 June 1995;
Whereas the fact that variable levies will be abolished on 1 July 1995 has been known by operators since the publication of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94; whereas it is imperative to ensure that this measure is applied as soon as possible in order to guarantee that the new import arrangements function smoothly from their introduction; whereas operators were informed of the Commission's intention of adopting this transitional measure by the Commission notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5);
Whereas pursuant to Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, levies fixed in advance in the cereals and rice sectors are adjusted on the basis of the threshold price in force during the month of importation; whereas under the new import arrangements laid down in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, threshold prices will no longer be set for the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas in those sectors the threshold price fixed for the 1994/95 marketing year will no longer apply from 1 July 1995; whereas, therefore, levies provisionally fixed in advance cannot become definitive; whereas operators have been aware of this since the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94; whereas consequently it is appropriate also to provide for the application of normal customs duties to imports effected from 1 July 1995 on the basis of advance-fixing certificates issued before the publication of the abovementioned notice;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees concerned,
1. Notwithstanding Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 and Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, for import licences with advance-fixing of the import levy issued from 8 April 1995, the application of the levy applicable on the day of the licence application, adjusted, where appropriate, on the basis of the threshold price, shall be limited to imports carried out on or before 30 June 1995.
For the purpose of applying the first subparagraph, the licences shall contain one of the following in Section 24:
- exacción reguladora fijada por anticipado aplicable hasta el 30 de junio de 1995,
- prélèvement préfixé applicable jusqu'au 30 juin 1995,

of 12 June 2003
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
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 organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 June 2003.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, as regards the list of third countries from which certain agricultural products obtained by organic production must originate to be marketed within the Community
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 of 8 December 2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries (2) has established a list of third countries whose system of production and control measures for organic production are recognised as equivalent. In the light of new applications and information received by the Commission from third countries since the last publication of the list, certain modifications should be taken into consideration and added or inserted in the list.
(2) The Australian and Costa Rican authorities have asked the Commission to include a new control and certification body. The Australian and Costa Rican authorities have provided the Commission with the necessary guarantees to satisfy it that the new control and certification bodies meet the criteria laid down in Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.
(3) The duration of inclusion of India in the list provided for in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 expires on 30 June 2009. In order to avoid trade disruption, there is a need to prolong the inclusion of India in that list for a further period. The Indian authorities have asked the Commission to include four new control and certification bodies. The Indian authorities have provided the Commission with the necessary guarantees to satisfy it that the new control and certification body meets the criteria laid down in Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. The Indian authorities have informed the Commission that one control body has changed its name.
(4) The Israeli authorities have informed the Commission that one control body has changed its name.
(5) Certain agricultural products imported from Tunisia are currently marketed in the Community pursuant to the transitional rules provided for in Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. Tunisia submitted a request to the Commission to be included in the list provided for in Annex III to that Regulation. It submitted the information required pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 of that Regulation. The examination of this information and consequent discussion with the Tunisian authorities have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and controls of agricultural products are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. The Commission has carried out an on-the-spot check of the rules of production and the control measures actually applied in Tunisia, as provided for in Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 19 December 2012
on temporary changes to the rules relating to the eligibility of foreign currency denominated collateral
(ECB/2012/34)
(2013/35/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 12.1 and Article 14.3 in conjunction with the first indent of Article 3.1 and Article 18.2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The standard conditions under which the ECB and the NCBs stand ready to enter into credit operations, including the criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem credit operations, are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1).
(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations.
(3) To facilitate the provision of liquidity to counterparties for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, on 6 September 2012, the Governing Council decided to temporarily widen the criteria determining the eligibility of assets to be used as collateral in Eurosystem monetary policy operations by accepting marketable debt instruments denominated in pounds sterling, yen or US dollars as eligible assets for monetary policy operations. On 10 October 2012, the Governing Council decision was implemented by Guideline ECB/2012/23 (2) which amended Guideline ECB/2012/18 of 2 August 2012 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral and amending Guideline ECB/2007/9 (3).
(4) On 26 November 2012, the Governing Council adopted Guideline ECB/2012/25 amending Guideline ECB/2011/14 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (4). One reason for the amendment was to list the coupon structures of marketable debt instruments accepted under the Eurosystem monetary policy framework.
(5) Some foreign currency denominated marketable debt instruments currently eligible pursuant to Article 5a of Guideline ECB/2012/18 have flat floating coupons linked to an index corresponding to a money market rate related to their currency of denomination. These instruments would become ineligible as from 3 January 2013, the date from which the latest amendments to Guideline ECB/2011/14 will start to apply. However, the Governing Council considers that marketable debt instruments denominated in a foreign currency should retain their temporary eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of whether their coupons are linked to a non-euro interest rate or to non-euro area inflation indices. For this reason, the Governing Council has decided to suspend the specific provision of such Guideline ECB/2011/14 that would prevent the continued eligibility of such assets.
(6) The additional measures set out in this Decision should apply temporarily, until the Governing Council considers that they are no longer necessary, to ensure an appropriate monetary policy transmission mechanism,
Suspension of certain provisions of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14
1. The Eurosystem minimum eligibility criteria for coupons, as specified in Section 6.2.1.1(1)(b) of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments denominated in foreign currency in accordance with Article 2.
2. In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2011/14, as implemented at national level by the NCBs, the former shall prevail.
3. In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2012/18, as implemented at national level by the NCBs, the former shall prevail.
4. The NCBs shall continue to apply all provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and Guideline ECB/2012/18 unless otherwise provided for in this Decision.
Continued eligibility as collateral of certain assets denominated in pounds sterling, yen or US dollars
1. Eligible marketable debt instruments under Article 5a of Guideline ECB/2012/18 with coupons linked to only one money market rate in their currency of denomination or to an inflation index containing no discrete range, range accrual, ratchet or similar complex structures for the respective country shall be eligible for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations.
2. The ECB may publish a list of further acceptable benchmark foreign currency interest rates in addition to those referred to in paragraph 1 on its website at www.ecb.europa.eu, following approval by the Governing Council.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Flemish Government submitted to the Commission on 31 May 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the regions of the province of Antwerp fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and the regions of that province qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the regions of the province of Antwerp eligible under Objective 2 and those qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Flanders (Belgium). The priorities are as follows:
1. Objective 2 assistance and transitional support for the region of Kempen;
2. Objective 2 assistance for Northeast Antwerp;
3. Technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objective 2 and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 135834936 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 47037000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 81514607 from the public sector and EUR 7283329 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 47037000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article of the Treaty establishing the European Community 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 31 May 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

Whereas:
(1) On 10 December 2012, the Council adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1169/2012 (2) implementing Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001, establishing an updated list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies.
(2) The Council has provided all the persons, groups and entities for which it was practically possible with statements of reasons explaining why they were listed in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1169/2012.
(3) By way of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the Council informed the persons, groups and entities listed in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1169/2012 that it had decided to keep them on the list. The Council also informed the persons, groups and entities concerned that it was possible to request a statement of the Council's reasons for putting them on the list where one had not already been communicated to them.
(4) The Council has carried out a complete review of the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies, as required by Article 2(3) of that Regulation. When doing so it took account of observations submitted to the Council by those concerned.
(5) The Council has concluded that the persons, groups and entities listed in the Annex to this Regulation have been involved in terrorist acts within the meaning of Article 1(2) and (3) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP of 27 December 2001 on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism (3), that a decision has been taken with respect to them by a competent authority within the meaning of Article 1(4) of that Common Position, and that they should continue to be subject to the specific restrictive measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001.
(6) The Council has further determined that an additional group has been involved in terrorist acts within the meaning of Article 1(2) and (3) of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP, that a decision has been taken with respect to that group by a competent authority within the meaning of Article 1(4) of that Common Position, and that it should be added to the list of persons, groups and entities to which Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP apply.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands relating to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/93 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (4) and 5 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures for the Azores and Madeira concerning certain agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1974/93, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (4), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3714/92 (5), and in particular Articles 4 (5) and 9 thereof,
Whereas the aids for the products included in the forecast supply balance and originating in the Community market are fixed by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 1912/92 (6) and (EEC) No 1913/92 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 233/95 (8), by Regulations (EEC) No 2254/92 (9), (EEC) No 2255/92 (10), and (EEC) No 2312/92 (11), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3023/94 (12) and by Regulation (EEC) No 1148/93 (13), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2491/94 (14);
Whereas the application of the criteria for fixing the Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the rates or prices for those products in the continental part of the Community and on the world market results in the fixing of the aid for supplies to the Canary Islands and to Madeira of products from the beef and veal sector at the amounts included in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (15), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (16), the agricultural conversion rate applicable on 1 February 1995 is that determined for that date in accordance with the rules in force on 31 January 1995, divided by 1,207509; whereas, to ensure that this does not result in a reduction in the value of the Community contribution in national currency compared to the situation before 1 February, the aid amounts entering into force after 1 February 1995 must be fixed at a level that takes account of the reduction in the conversion rate resulting from the above division; whereas, however, when calculating the aid amounts fixed by Regulation (EC) No 233/95, the adjustments to the agrimonetary arrangements had not yet been taken into account; whereas these amounts must accordingly be replaced by the amounts listed in Annexes I and II to this Regulation, with effect from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 233/95;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 of 12 May 1971 on certain measures of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary widening of the margins of fluctuation for the currencies of certain Member States (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (3), and in particular Article 2b thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 of 31 March 1984 on the calculation and the dismantlement of the monetary compensatory amount applying to certain agricultural products, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 855/84, the central rate used under the common agricultural policy has been subjected to a corrective factor of 1,033651 with effect from the 1984/85 marketing year; whereas the corrected central rate, which has introduced a new method of calculating monetary compensatory amounts, has also led to a change in the relationship between the Community price and the world market price, which in turn has resulted in an increase in levies in ECU fixed from 1 September 1984;
Whereas, for reasons of equal treatment and in order to avoid distortion of competition, appropriate measures should be adopted within the meaning of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 855/84; whereas such measures may consist in an adjustment of levies fixed before the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year in respect of operations to be carried out after those dates;
Whereas the adjustment of the levies fixed in advance must be carried out on the basis of the world market price corrected by a factor of 0,967445; whereas this price must therefore be reconstituted by reference to the main elements required under Community rules;
Whereas adjustments should be limited to levies fixed in advance; whereas, having regard to the frequent variations in such levies and their method of calculation, there is justification for entrusting such adjustment to the competent national authorities;
Whereas adjustment on the basis of the world market price to which a correction factor of 0,967445 has been applied results in an increase in the levy fixed in advance in ECU; whereas this increase was not to be foreseen in respect of the operators; whereas, therefore, the adjustments can only be implemented in connection with advance fixings requested as from the date of official Commission notification of such adjustments;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
In the case of the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) and (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (4), the levies fixed in advance on or after 17 July 1984 shall, as regards operations for which the customs formalities are completed as from the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year, be adjusted by the Member States in accordance with the following formla:
'Threshold price minus 0,967445 Ă (threshold price minus levy fixed in advance)'
The threshold price to be taken into consideration shall be that valid in the month of advance-fixing.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the adoption of Commission Decision 2005/513/EC of 11 July 2005 on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 GHz frequency band for the implementation of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLANs) (2), further investigations of the technical parameters defined in this Decision revealed that the maximum mean e.i.r.p. density limits in the bands 5 150-5 250 MHz and 5 250-5 350 MHz can be expressed in a similar way, thus substantially facilitating equipment testing, as opposed to the specifications in the Decision of 11 July 2005. The new formulation of the technical parameters would therefore ease the take-up of these systems in the EU.
(2) Both ETSI and the CEPT have confirmed that the amendment to these technical parameters does not change the protection vis-à-vis the other services sharing the spectrum with WAS/RLANs and keeps in particular the aggregate interference from RLANs operating in the frequency band 5 150-5 350 MHz to a level sufficiently low so that interference to satellite communications would be avoided.
(3) The Harmonised Standard for RLAN equipment using the 5 GHz bands which has been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) under number EN 301 893 takes account of this simplification of technical parameters.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
Article 4(1) of Decision 2005/513/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 4
1. In the frequency band 5 150-5 350 MHz, WAS/RLANs shall be restricted to indoor use with a maximum mean e.i.r.p. of 200 mW. Furthermore, in the 5 150-5 350 MHz band the maximum mean e.i.r.p. density shall be limited to 10 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band.’

(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

(16) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the conditions relating to the detailed assessment of the active substances and the plant protection products in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(17) For these active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the draft assessment reports to the Commission on 15 March 2005 (acequinocyl), on 10 September 2007 (ascorbic acid), on 22 August 2006 (aminopyralid), on 1 September 2008 (flubendiamide), on 13 September 2012 (gamma-cyhalothrin), on 29 May 2008 (ipconazole), on 15 April 2008 (metaflumizone), on 19 July 2012 (orthosulfamuron), on 3 November 2009 (Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134), on 13 January 2009 (pyridalil), on 20 March 2008 (pyroxsulam), on 9 March 2004 (spiromesifen), on 17 December 2008 (thiencarbazone) and on 26 July 2007 (topramezone).
(18) Following submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicants and to have the rapporteur Member States examine that information and submit their assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC, read in conjunction with Commission Implementing Decisions 2011/490/EU (17) (acequinocyl, aminopyralid, flubendiamide, metaflumizone, pyroxsulam and thiencarbazone), 2011/252/EU (18) (ascorbic acid, ipconazole, Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134, spiromesifen and topramezone) and 2011/671/EU (19) (gamma-cyhalothrin).
(19) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on a possible approval in accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 for acequinocyl, aminopyralid, ascorbic acid, flubendiamide, gamma-cyhalothrin, ipconazole, metaflumizone, orthosulfamuron, Pseudomonas sp. DSMZ 13134, pyridalil, pyroxsulam, spiromesifen, thiencarbazone and topramezone will have been completed within 24 months.
(20) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing acequinocyl, aminopyralid, ascorbic acid, flubendiamide, gamma-cyhalothrin, ipconazole, metaflumizone, orthosulfamuron, Pseudomonas sp. DSMZ 13134, pyridalil, pyroxsulam, spiromesifen, thiencarbazone or topramezone for a period ending on 30 April 2015 at the latest.
This Decision shall expire on 30 April 2015.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas the last subparagraph of Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 2 693 000 of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C (96) 4195 of 18 December 1996;
Whereas the Danish Government has submitted to the Commission on 8 August 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Lolland; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;

Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the single programming document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas Article 20 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 provides, subject to available funding, for a single commitment where the Community assistance granted is less than ECU 40 million for the whole programmation period;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in Lolland concerned by Objective 2 in Denmark, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
The single programming document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Denmark;

2. To this global maximum allocation is added an amount of ECU 2 693 000 not subject to indexation, resulting from unused appropriations of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996.
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 13 834 738.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the single programming document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 12 951 000 for the public sector and ECU 20 565 000 for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.

>TABLE>
2. The budgetary commitments at the moment of approval of the single programming document refer to the total Community assistance.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2315/76 of 24 September 1976 on the sale of butter from public stocks (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1824/97 (4), provides for butter placed in public storage before a certain date to be sold at a price equal to the purchase price applied by the intervention agency, plus ECU 1 per 100 kilograms; whereas Articles 3a and 4a of that Regulation provide for the supply of food aid and the sale of butter to non-profit-making institutions and organizations;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2013/2004
of 25 November 2004
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 November 2004.

(2) That Protocol was amended by Decision No 2/2002 of the EC-Hungary Association Council of 16 April 2002 on the improvement of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products envisaged by Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement(3), by which a reduction of the duties applicable to imports of certain goods originating in Hungary was provided with effect from 1 January 2002.
(3) A trade agreement was concluded during the first half of 2003, aiming to improve economic convergence in preparation for accession. This agreement lays down concessions in the form of completed liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products and duty free quotas for others. It was implemented autonomously and transitionally from 1 July 2003, by Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(4).

(5) For products not subject to the completed liberalisation and for imports outside the quotas the current provisions, subject to an annual improvement, continue to apply and the reduced amounts of agricultural components need to be determined.
(6) The duties applicable from 1 January 2004 to 30 April 2004 should therefore be established in accordance with Protocol 3 on imports of certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in Hungary.

31978L0610 | Council Directive 78/610/EEC of 29 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States on the protection of the health of workers exposed to vinyl chloride monomer
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 29 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States on the protection of the health of workers exposed to vinyl chloride monomer (78/610/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, in the past it was recognized that vinyl chloride monomer was capable of giving rise only to the generally reversible disease known as "occupational acro-osteolysis" ; whereas more recent evidence from epidemiological studies and animal experimentation indicates that prolonged and/or repeated exposure to high concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer in the atmosphere may give rise to a "vinyl chloride monomer" syndrome encompassing, in addition to occupational acro-osteolysis, the skin disease scleroderma and liver disorders;
Whereas vinyl chloride monomer should also be regarded as a carcinogen which may cause angiosarcoma, a rare malignant tumour which can also occur without any known cause;
Whereas, although working conditions are considerably better than those under which the above syndrome formerly occurred, a comparison of protective measures taken by each Member State reveals certain differences ; whereas, therefore, in the interests of balanced economic and social development, these national laws, which directly affect the functioning of the common market, should be harmonized and improved;
Whereas the first step should be to take technical preventive and protective measures based on the latest scientific knowledge so that the values of concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer in the atmosphere in the works can be reduced to an extremely low figure;
Whereas medical surveillance of workers in the vinyl chloride monomer and vinyl chloride polymer industry should take account of the latest medical knowledge, in order that the health of workers in this important sector of the chemical industry may be protected;
Whereas the urgent need to harmonize laws in this field is recognized by both sides of industry which took part in the discussion on this specific problem ; whereas efforts must therefore be made towards the approximation, while the improvement is being maintained, of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States as envisaged in Article 117 of the Treaty;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive constitute minimal requirements which may be re-examined in the light of the experience gained and of progress in medical techniques and knowledge in this field, the final objective being to achieve optimum protection of workers,
1. The object of this Directive is the protection of workers: - employed in works in which vinyl chloride monomer is produced, reclaimed, stored, discharged into containers, transported or used in any way whatsoever, or in which vinyl chloride monomer is converted into vinyl chloride polymers, and
- exposed to the effects of vinyl chloride monomer in a working area.
2. This protection shall comprise: - technical preventive measures,
- the establishment of limit values for the atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride monomer in the working area, (1)OJ No C 163, 11.7.1977, p. 11. (2)OJ No C 287, 30.11.1977, p. 11.
- the definition of measuring methods and the fixing of provisions for monitoring the atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride monomer in the working area,
- if necessary, personal protection measures,
- adequate information for workers on the risks to which they are exposed and the precautions to be taken,
- the keeping of a register of workers with particulars of the type and duration of their work and the exposure to which they have been subjected,
- medical surveillance provisions.
For the purpose of this Directive: (a) "working area" means a section of a works with defined boundaries which may comprise one or more workplaces. It is characterized by the fact that the individual worker spends irregular periods of time there at various workplaces in the course of his duty or duties, that the length of time spent at these individual workplaces cannot be more closely defined and that further subdivision of the working area into smaller units is not possible;
(b) "technical long-term limit value" means the value which shall not be exceeded by the mean concentration, integrated with respect to time, of vinyl chloride monomer in the atmosphere of a working area, the reference period being the year, with account being taken only of the concentrations measured during the periods in which the plant is in operation and of the duration of such periods.
For guidance and for practical reasons, Annex I contains a table of the corresponding limit values obtained from statistics with a view to being able to detect, over shorter periods, the risk of the technical long-term limit value's being exceeded.
The concentration values recorded during the alarm periods referred to in Article 6 shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the mean concentration.
(c) "competent doctor" means the doctor responsible for the medical surveillance of the workers referred to in Article 1 (1).
1. The fundamental aim of the technical measures adopted to meet the requirements of this Directive shall be to reduce to the lowest possible levels the concentrations of vinyl chloride monomer to which workers are exposed. All working areas in works referred to in Article 1 (1) shall therefore be monitored for the atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride monomer.
2. For the works referred to in Article 1 (1), the technical long-term limit value shall be three parts per million.
An adjustment period not exceeding one year in which to comply with the technical long-term limit value of three parts per million shall be provided for in the case of existing plant at such works.
1. The concentration of vinyl chloride monomer in the working area may be monitored by continuous or discontinuous methods. The permanent sequential method shall be regarded as being a continuous method.
However, the use of a continuous or permanent sequential method shall be obligatory in enclosed vinyl chloride monomer polymerization plant.
2. In the case of continuous or permanent sequential measurements over a period of one year, the technical long-term limit value shall be considered as having been complied with if the arithmetic mean concentration is found not to exceed this value.
In the case of discontinuous measurements, the number of values measured shall be such that it is possible to predict with a confidence coefficient of at least 95 % - accepting the relevant assumptions made in Annex I - that the actual mean annual concentration will not exceed the technical long-term limit value.
3. Any measurement system which records accurately for the purposes of analysis at least one third of the technical long-term limit value concentration shall be regarded as suitable.
4. If non-selective systems of measurement are used for measuring vinyl chloride monomer, the measurement recorded shall be taken as the total vinyl chloride monomer concentration value.
5. Measuring instruments shall be calibrated at regular intervals. Calibration shall be carried out by suitable methods based on the latest state of the art.
1. Measurements of the atmospheric concentration of vinyl chloride monomer in a working area for the purpose of verifying compliance with the technical long-term limit value shall be carried out using measuring points chosen so that the results obtained are as representative as possible of the individual vinyl chloride monomer exposure level of workers in that area.
2. Depending on the size of the working area, there may be one or more measuring points. If there is more than one measuring point, the mean value for the various measuring points shall be considered in principle as the representative value for the whole working area.
If the results obtained are not representative of the vinyl chloride monomer concentration in the working area, the measuring point for checking compliance with the technical long-term limit value shall be that point in the working area where the worker is exposed to the highest mean concentration.
3. Measurements carried out as described in this Article may be combined with measurements based on individual sampling, i.e. using devices worn by exposed persons for the purpose of verifying the suitability of the measuring points chosen and of obtaining any other information relevant to technical prevention and medical surveillance.
1. In order that abnormal increases in vinyl chloride monomer concentration levels may be detected, a monitoring system capable of detecting such increases shall be provided in places where they may occur.
In cases involving such an increase in the concentration level, technical measures shall be taken without delay to determine and to remedy the causes thereof.
2. The value corresponding to the alarm threshold shall not exceed, at a measuring point, 15 parts per million for mean values measured over a period of one hour, 20 parts per million for mean values measured over 20 minutes or 30 parts per million for mean values measured over two minutes. If the alarm threshold is exceeded, personal protection measures shall be taken without delay.
Appropriate personal protection measures shall be provided for certain operations (e.g. cleaning of autoclaves, servicing and repairs) during which it cannot be guaranteed that concentrations will be kept below the limit values through operational or ventilation measures.
Employers shall inform the workers referred to in Article 1 (1), both upon recruitment or prior to their taking up their activities and at regular intervals thereafter, of the health hazards associated with vinyl chloride monomer and of the precautions to be taken when this substance is being handled.
1. Employers shall keep a register of the workers referred to in Article 1 (1), with particulars of the type and duration of work and the exposure to which they have been subjected. This register shall be given to the competent doctor.
2. A worker shall, at his request, be given the opportunity to note the particulars in the register concerning him.
3. Employers shall make available to workers' representatives at the undertaking, at their request, the results of the measurements taken at the places of work.
0
1. Employers shall be required to ensure that the workers referred to in Article 1 (1) are examined by the competent doctor, both upon recruitment or prior to their taking up their activities and subsequently.
2. Without prejudice to national provisions, the competent doctor shall determine in each individual case the frequency and type of the examination provided for in paragraph 1. The necessary guidelines are given in Annex II.
3. Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that the registers referred to in Article 9 and the medical records are kept for at least 30 years from the date on which the activity of the workers referred to in Article 1 (1) was taken up.
For workers already engaged in such activity on the date of entry into force of the provisions adopted pursuant to this Directive, the 30-year period shall commence on that date.
Member States shall determine how the registers and the medical records are to be used for study and research purposes.
1
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

repealing Decision 2002/683/EC accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of colour television receivers originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China
(2006/258/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) In August 2002, by Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of colour television receivers (the product concerned) originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC).
(2) In parallel, the Commission, by Decision 2002/683/EC (3), accepted a joint undertaking (the undertaking) by Haier Electrical Appliances Corp., Ltd, Hisense Import & Export Co., Ltd, Konka Group Co., Ltd, Sichuan Changhong Electric Co., Ltd, Skyworth Multimedia International (Shenzen) Co., Ltd, TCL King Electrical Appliances (Hui Zhou) Co., Ltd and Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronic Co., Ltd (the Companies), in conjunction with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronics Products (CCCME).
(3) As a result, imports into the Community of the product concerned of PRC origin, produced by the Companies, and of a type covered by the undertaking (the product covered by the undertaking), were exempted from the definitive anti-dumping duties.
B. BREACHES OF THE UNDERTAKING
1. Obligations of companies with undertakings
(4) The undertaking offered by the Companies obliges them to, inter alia, export the product covered by the undertaking to the first independent customer in the Community at or above certain minimum import price levels (MIPs) and to respect certain quantitative ceilings laid down in the undertaking. These price levels and ceilings eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(5) For the purposes of ensuring compliance with the undertaking, CCCME and the Companies also agreed to provide all information considered necessary by the Commission and to allow on-spot verification visits at their premises in order to permit verifications of the accuracy and veracity of data submitted in the said quarterly reports.
(6) As noted in recital 239 of Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002, the undertaking specifically provides that a breach by any of the Companies or the CCCME shall be considered as a breach of the undertaking by all signatories. Failure to cooperate with the European Commission in monitoring the undertaking is considered as a breach of the undertaking.
(7) In this regard, the Commission requested to carry out on-spot verification visits at the premises of CCCME and of the two companies with the largest reported volume of sales of the product concerned, namely Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronic Co., Ltd and Konka Group Co., Ltd. The Commission sent pre-verification letters to CCCME, Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronic Co., Ltd and Konka Group Co., Ltd with an indication of the dates for the on-spot verification.
2. Results of the verification request
(8) The CCCME and Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronic Co., Ltd confirmed the acceptance of the verification visit requested by the Commission. However, Konka Group Co., Ltd refused to accept a verification visit.
(9) The company was requested to clarify whether this was its final position and was reminded that according to Clause 5.6 of the undertaking, the Companies undertook to cooperate in providing all information considered necessary by the European Commission for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the joint undertaking and to allow officials of the European Commission to verify all information and data furnished. This included the possibility of these officials performing on-spot investigations at the premises of the Companies and/or the CCCME, even at short notice.
(10) By letter, the company Konka Group Co., Ltd, confirmed that they had no interest to cooperate and this position taken by the company was furthermore confirmed by the CCCME.
(11) Accordingly, the CCCME and the Companies were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to withdraw the Commission’s acceptance of the undertaking, due to the breach of the undertaking by Konka Group Co., Ltd, and to impose the definitive anti-dumping duty in its place. A period was granted within which representations could be made both in writing and orally. No comments were received.
C. REPEAL OF DECISION 2002/683/EC
(12) In the light of the above, it is considered that acceptance of the undertaking offered by the Companies in conjunction with the CCCME, should be withdrawn. Decision 2002/683/EC accepting an undertaking should be repealed.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 187, in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The world market prices for sugar have been at a constant high level during the first months of the 2010/11 marketing year, which has slowed down the pace of imports in particular from third countries benefiting from certain preferential agreements.
(2) Confronted with this situation, the Commission recently adopted a series of measures with the purpose to bring additional supply to the Union market. Those measures included Commission Regulation (EU) No 222/2011 of 3 March 2011 laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2010/2011 (2), which increased the combined availability of sugar and isoglucose on the Union market by 526 000 tonnes, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011 of 28 March 2011 opening an exceptional import tariff quota for certain quantities of sugar in the 2010/11 marketing year (3), which suspended the import duties for sugar falling within CN 1701 for a quantity of 300 000 tonnes.
(3) Imports of sugar under Inward Processing in accordance with Chapter 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4) have been reduced and the processing industry has increased the use of quota sugar in exported products. Those developments have maintained the tight supply situation on the Union market, which threaten to cause undersupply during the last months of the marketing year, until the arrival of the new harvest.
(4) The high prices on the world market for sugar therefore threaten the availability of supply on the Union market. For that reason it is necessary to increase, by a quantity of 200 000 tonnes, the quantity of 300 000 tonnes set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011, for which the import duty of sugar is to be suspended.
(5) In accordance with Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (5) the opening of the tariff quotas for imports of sugar products pursuant to Article 187 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 with order number 09.4380 (exceptional import sugar), the quantities of those products for which import duties are to be suspended and the tariff quota period have to be determined by a separate legal act. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011 suspends the import duties for sugar falling within CN 1701 for a quantity of 300 000 tonnes.
(6) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011 should be amended accordingly.
(7) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
In the first paragraph of Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011, the following sentence is added:
‘The import duties shall be suspended for an additional quantity of 200 000 tonnes from 1 July to 30 September 2011.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 30 September 2011.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 (1) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs, and in particular Articles 4 (3) and 7 (5) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas one of the components of the levy on eggs in shell is equal to the difference between prices within the Community and on the world market for the quantity of feed grain required for the production in the Community of one kilogramme of eggs in shell;
Whereas that quantity should be determined on the basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 2.563 which represents the ratio of one kilogramme of eggs in shell to the weight of feed grain required for its production ; whereas when this ratio is being determined account should be taken of the feed requirements of layers to ensure their growth, upkeep and output in terms of the annual laying average ; whereas, however, account should also be taken of the sale of cast hens;
Whereas the levy on eggs for hatching should be calculated in the same way as the levy on eggs in shell ; whereas, however, the quantity of feed grain to be used should be that required for the production in the Community of one egg for hatching;
Whereas that quantity should be determined on the basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 0.245, expressing the ratio of one egg for hatching to the quantity of feed grain required for its production ; whereas when this ratio is being determined account should be taken of the abovementioned feed requirements of layers and the specific production conditions of undertakings supplying eggs for hatching;
Whereas the composition of a mixture of cereals making up these quantities should be determined;
Whereas this mixture includes cereals and by-products which it is advisable to assimilate to one of the three cereals mainly used as feed for layers, namely maize, barley and oats ; whereas in particular fodder wheat should be assimilated to barley;
Whereas therefore a cereal mixture made up as follows should be regarded as representative: >PIC FILE= "T0008434">
Whereas in view of the composition of these quantities of feed grain it would appear necessary that their price within the Community and on the world market should be equal to the average, weighted according to the composition mentioned, of the prices within the Community and on the world market for each of the cereals in question;
Whereas in order to calculate the price for each type of feed grain it is necessary to take as a basis: - the average of the threshold prices, plus the monthly increase for the period mentioned in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75,
- the average of the cif prices determined for the period mentioned in the third subparagraph of Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75;
Whereas in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 the sluice-gate price for eggs in shell consists of two components: - the price on the world market for the quantity of feed grain required for the production in third countries of one kilogramme of eggs in shell, (1)See page 49 of this Official Journal.
- a standard amount representing other feeding costs and overhead costs of production and marketing;
Whereas the sluice-gate price for eggs for hatching should be calculated in the same way as the sluice-gate price for eggs in shell ; whereas, however, the price for the quantity of feed grain on the world market should be the price for the quantity required for the production in third countries of one egg for hatching;
Whereas the quantities of feed grain should be determined on the basis of processing coefficients of 1 : 2.770 for eggs in shell and 1 : 0.245 for eggs for hatching ; whereas this coefficient should be determined according to the same criteria as those used to determine the processing coefficients used in calculating the levy ; whereas, however, as regards eggs in shell, account should not be taken of the sale of cast hens;
Whereas in the light of experience in the Community and on the world market the same composition should be adopted for the quantity of feed grain on the world market as that used in the Community for calculating the levy;
Whereas the price for the quantity of feed grain should be calculated in the same way as the levy;
Whereas the average of the cif prices should be increased by 0.475 unit of account per 100 kilogrammes of cereal in order to take account of cost of carriage to place of use and cost of processing into feedingstuffs;
Whereas when the quantity of feed grain on the world market is being determined other feeding costs and overhead costs of production and marketing are not taken into account ; whereas these other feeding costs cover supplementary protein foods, mineral salts, vitamins and prophylactic products ; whereas overhead costs of production and marketing include veterinary fees, animal boarding costs, labour, insurance, transport and the trading margin ; whereas these costs may be assessed at flat rates of: - 0.4366 unit of account per kilogramme for eggs in shell,
- 0.0655 unit of account for one egg for hatching;
Whereas when the sluice-gate price applicable from 1 November, 1 February and 1 May is being fixed, trends in world market prices for feed grain should be taken into account only if the price of the quantity of feed grain shows a minimum variation from that used in calculating the sluice-gate price for the preceding quarter ; whereas a variation of less than 3 % has no appreciable effect on feeding costs in respect of eggs in shell ; whereas the minimum variation should be fixed at 3 %,
The quantities and composition of feed grain mentioned in Article 4 (1) (a) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 are fixed as shown in columns 3 and 4 of Annex I.
1. The price for the quantity of feed grain in the Community shall be equal to the average, weighted according to the percentages shown in column 4 of Annex I, of the prices within the Community per kilogramme for each of the cereals included in this quantity, the average being multiplied by the corresponding figure in column 3 of Annex I.
2. The price for each type of feed grain in the Community shall be equal to the average of the threshold prices, plus their monthly price increase, operative for that cereal for a period of 12 months beginning on 1 August.
1. The price for the quantity of feed grain on the world market shall be equal to the average, weighted according to the percentages shown in column 4 of Annex I, of the prices on the world market per kilogramme for each of the cereals included in this quantity, the average being multiplied by the corresponding figure in column 3 of Annex I.
2. The price for each type of feed grain on the world market shall be equal to the average of the cif prices determined for that cereal for the period of six months mentioned in the third subparagraph of Article 4 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75.
1. The price for the quantities of feed grain mentioned in Article 7 (2) (a) and (3) of Regulation
(EEC) No 2771/75 shall be equal to the price for the quantities of feed grain shown in column 3 of Annex II, the composition of which appears in column 4 of Annex II.
2. The price for these quantities of feed grain shall be equal to the average, weighted according to the percentages shown in column 4 of Annex II, of the prices per kilogramme for each of the cereals included in this quantity, the average being multiplied by the corresponding figure in column 3 of Annex II.
3. The price for each cereal shall be equal to the average of the cif prices determined for that cereal for the period of six months mentioned in the second subparagraph of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, increased by 0.475 unit of account per 100 kilogrammes of cereal.
The standard amounts in Article 7 (2) (b) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 are fixed as shown in column 5 of Annex II.
The minimum variation mentioned in the last subparagraph of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is fixed at 3 %.
1. Council Regulation No 145/67/EEC (1) of 21 June 1967 laying down rules for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price for eggs, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1716/74 (2), is hereby repealed.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 33(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1143/82 of 8 June 1982 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 392/94(3), provides for the fixing before 1 April and the collection before the following 1 June, of the unit amounts to be paid by sugar producers, isoglucose producers and inulin syrup producers as advance payments of the production levies for the current marketing year. The estimate of the basic production levy and of the B levy, referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82, gives an amount which is more than 60 % of the maximum amounts indicated in Article 33(3), (4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999. In acordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82, the unit amounts for sugar and inulin syrup should therefore be fixed at 50 % of the maximum amounts concerned and for isoglucose the unit amount of the advance payment should therefore be fixed at 40 % of the unit amount of the basic production levy estimated for sugar.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The unit amounts referred to in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 in respect of the 1999/2000 marketing year are hereby fixed as follows:
(a) the advance payment of the basic production levy for A sugar and B sugar shall be EUR 0,632 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(b) the advance payment of the B levy for B sugar shall be EUR 11,848 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;

31962D1217(02) | EEC: Council Decision of 4 December 1962 on the co- ordination of policies on the structure of agriculture
| COUNCIL DECISION of 4 December 1962 on the co-ordination of policies on the structure of agriculture
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas the operation and development of the common market in agricultural products must be accompanied by the establishment of a common agricultural policy, of which a policy on the structure of agriculture constitutes an integral part;
Whereas under Article 39 (1) (a) and (b) of the Treaty one of the objectives of the common agricultural policy is to increase agricultural productivity and thus to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, in particular by increasing the individual earnings of persons engaged in agriculture ; whereas if these objectives are to be attained the sound elements in the structure of agriculture must be conserved and defects in the structure eliminated;
Whereas in implementing a policy on structure within the framework of the common agricultural policy account must be taken of trends in agricultural markets ; whereas close co-ordination is consequently necessary between policy on agricultural markets and policy on agricultural structure ; whereas it is, furthermore, essential to bear in mind that the structure of agriculture is closely linked to the economy as a whole;
Whereas it is therefore necessary both to co-ordinate structural policy with regional development policy and, within the framework of regional development policy, to take additional measures designed to facilitate the adjustment of agriculture to economic and social trends;
Whereas structural defects exist at local and regional level and structural improvements are possible only with the active co-operation of those directly concerned ; whereas the implementation of a policy on structure is thus primarily the responsibility of the Member States;
Whereas steps should, however, be taken within the framework of the Community to stimulate efforts to improve the structure of agriculture and to do everything possible to increase the economic potential and competitiveness of agriculture;
Whereas co-ordination by the Community of the structural policies of Member States affords a means of harmonising such policies with the common agricultural policy and with the other objectives of the Community;
Whereas co-ordination of structural policies calls for close and sustained co-operation between Member States and the Commission ; whereas this can most effectively be brought about by the creation of a Standing Committee consisting of representatives of each of the Member States, with a representative of the Commission as chairman;
Whereas it is necessary that the Commission submit annually to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on structure, setting out the overall situation in the Community as regards the structure of agriculture and including an assessment of the structural policies of the Member States in relation to the objectives of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas as part of the co-ordination of structural policies steps should be taken to ensure that adequate and co-ordinated use is made of Community financing facilities for the purpose of benefiting the structure of agriculture, the facilities in question being those afforded by, principally, the Guidance and Guarantee Fund (in respect of action covered by Articles 3 (1) (d) and 2 (2) (c) of Council Regulation No 25 on the financing of the common agricultural policy), by the European Social Fund and by the European Investment Bank;
Whereas it is necessary that the Commission, basing itself in particular on the report on structure, submit to the Council for adoption under Article 43 of the Treaty proposals designed to improve the structure of agriculture and to make it possible for the structural policies of Member States to be co-ordinated;
Whereas to co-ordinate structural policies it is essential to be informed of the situation in Member States with regard to the structure of agriculture and of their agricultural policies, and in particular of measures taken to improve that structure and also of conditions at regional level ; whereas Member States should provide the Commission with the necessary information;
Whereas if effective co-ordination of structural policies is to be achieved the Commission needs to be provided by Member States with particulars of all proposed multiannual plans and regional programmes and with drafts of all proposed laws, regulations and administrative provisions or, where these do not exist in draft form, with a description in broad outline of the provisions envisaged;
Whereas effective co-ordination of the structural policies of Member States can be ensured in respect of such proposals only if the Commission is empowered to express its opinion on the proposals and is required to make known its opinion when so requested by a Member State;
Whereas, with a view in particular to the harmonisation of national legislation, the co-ordination of structural policies requires a knowledge of all relevant laws, regulations and administrative provisions in force in the Member States ; whereas it is desirable that Member States provide the Commission with any other information it may need for the purposes of co-ordinating structural policies;
1. With a view to furthering co-ordination of policies on the structure of agriculture and to achieving closer and more sustained co-operation between Member States and the Commission, there shall be attached to the Commission a Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure (hereinafter called the "Committee").
2. The Committee shall be responsible for studying the structural policies of Member States, together with any measures and programmes proposed by them for improving the structure of agriculture. In carrying out these studies, account shall be taken of the interrelation of structural policy with regional development policy and with policy on agricultural markets, and also of trends in agricultural markets. The Committee shall be responsible for ensuring an exchange of information between Member States and the Commission with regard to matters concerning structural policy. The Commission shall consult the Committee on problems relating to the structure of agriculture. The Committee shall assist the Commission in the preparation of Part (a) of the report on structure provided for in Article 2.
3. The Committee shall consist of representatives of each of the Member States with a representative of the Commission as chairman.
4. The Commission shall provide secretarial services for the Committee.
5. The Committee shall adopt its own rules of procedure.
The Commission shall submit annually to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on structure containing:
(a) a review of the situation as regards agricultural structure in the Member States and their policies thereon, together with a schedule listing the measures taken in pursuance of such policies;
(b) a study examining the nature, geographical distribution, scope and financing of these measures, considered in the context of the structural policies of Member States, and examining also the effectiveness of such measures in relation to the objectives of the common agricultural policy and to the long-term potential outlets normally to be anticipated for agricultural products;
(c) information in respect of the following items concerning the co-ordination at Community level of policies on the structure of agriculture:
(1) measures taken with a view to such co-ordination;
(2) financing by the Community;
(3) the results of such measures and financing.
Acting under Article 43 of the Treaty, the Council shall, on the basis in particular of the report on structure, adopt the measures necessary to co-ordinate the structural policies of Member States. In proposing such measures, the Commission shall take into account existing means of Community financing, provided the proposed measures warrant financing from that source having regard to the Council Decisions relating to Community financing.
Member States shall provide the Commission annually with the documentary information necessary for compiling the report on the structure of agriculture. Such information shall relate in particular to:
- the situation as regards the structure of agriculture, taking into account regional conditions and regional development policies;
- the relationship between the structure of agriculture and market policies;
- the nature, scope and financing of measures for structural improvement taken during the past year;
- the nature and scope of measures for structural improvement envisaged for the current year.
2. After consulting the Committee, the Commission shall determine the form in which this information is to be supplied by Member States and the date for its submission.
Member States shall in good time communicate to the Commission such of the following as contain measures for structural improvement:
- to the fullest extent possible, drafts of proposed laws, regulations or administrative provisions or, where these do not exist in draft form, a description in broad outline of the provisions envisaged;
- drafts of multiannual plans and regional programmes.
The Commission
- may express an opinion on any draft law, regulation or administrative provision, multiannual plan or regional programme communicated to it under Article 5;
- shall express an opinion thereon if so requested by a Member State.
The Commission shall in either case consult the Committee.
Within three months of the entry into force of this Decision Member States shall, with a view in particular to the harmonisation of national legislation, supply the Commission with particulars of all existing laws, regulations or administrative provisions relating to the improvement of the structure of agriculture. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 5, particulars of all laws, regulations or administrative provisions adopted after that date shall be supplied immediately following their entry into force.
Member States shall, if so requested by the Commission, provide the Commission with any other information it may need for the purposes of co-ordinating policies on the structure of agriculture at Community level.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 4 November 1987
on the modernization of farms in Ireland pursuant to Council Directive 72/159/EEC
(Only the English text is authentic)
(87/545/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (1), and in particular Article 18 (3) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 17 (4) of Directive 72/159/EEC, the Irish Government on 9 June 1987 forwarded a memorandum concerning, on the one hand, the provisions adopted successively in 1983, 1984 and 1985 governing investment aids granted in connection with development plans and, on the other hand, the consequences of those provisions for the development plans in abeyance at 10 February 1983;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC, the Commission must decide whether the abovementioned provisions comply with the said Directive and whether, having regard to the objectives of the Directive and the need to ensure that the measures are properly related, the conditions for a financial contribution by the Community are satisfied;
Whereas the provisions which entered into force on 10 February 1983, suspending the investment aids relating to buildings and fixed assets and abolishing those relating to mobile equipment, were adopted on account of the serious budget situation in Ireland;
Whereas the provisions which entered into force on 3 January 1984, reintroducing investment aids for certain categories of buildings and fixed assets, were adopted in order to concentrate the budget funds available on productive investments essential for the success of development plans;
Whereas the financial commitments of the Irish Government have been met for all the aids approved before 10 February 1983 and whereas the aids applied for before 10 February 1983 for investment commitments relating to buildings and fixed assets entered into before 3 January 1984 have also been funded by the Irish Government;
Whereas the Irish Government has established that only a very small proportion of the outstanding development plans at 10 February 1983 have been seriously affected by the provisions adopted in 1983 and 1984 and that numerous development plans interrupted could not possibly have been successful on account of the entry into force of the Community provisions aimed at reducing milk production;
Whereas the authority responsible for assisting with the drawing up of the development plans and for approving them has not ceased its functions;
Whereas the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
The provisions adopted successively in 1983, 1984 and 1985, relating to investment aids required for the implementation of development plans within the meaning of Directive 72/159/EEC, continue to satisfy the conditions for a financial contribution by the Community to the common measure referred to in Article 15 of the said Directive.

of 30 October 2003
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 October 2003.
