Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1569/92 (2), and in particular Article 6 (6) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, new aid arrangements in respect of specialized areas for the cultivation of sultanas, currants and muscatels took effect as from the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas these arrangements will gradually replace the system of production aid provided for in Article 6a;
Whereas, under Article 6a (1) of the abovementioned Regulation, per hectare aid may, for the 1992/93 marketing year, account for only 45 % of the minimum price to be paid to producers for the 1989/90 marketing year; whereas the Community aid per hectare should be set at the level laid down in this Regulation;
Whereas Article 6 (1), third subparagraph, of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the possibility to differentiate the amount of aid on the basis of the varieties of grapes and on other factors which may affect yield; whereas it is appropriate to provide such a differentiation by a coefficient derived from the ratio of average yield by category to total average yield;
Whereas, however, it is appropriate to provide that areas having a yield lower than one-third of average yield differentiated for the varieties concerned shall not be considered as specialized areas for the application of the aid arrangements; whereas therefore aid shall not be granted for the cultivation of such areas;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera under the conditions laid down in Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86;
Whereas verification of the areas used for growing these grapes has revealed no overrun of the maximum guaranteed area fixed in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2911/90 of 9 October 1990 laying down detailed rules of application for aid for the production of certain varieties of grapes for drying (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1577/91 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1992/93 marketing year, the per hectare aid for the cultivation of sultanas, currants and muscatels intended for processing pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be ECU 1 534 per hectare of specialized area harvested.
For each variety the amount of aid shall be adjusted by the coefficient listed in the Annex.
2. For the application of Article 6 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, areas having a yield per hectare less than:
- 1 000 kilograms of dried grapes for sultanas,
- 750 kilograms of dried grapes for currants,
- 200 kilograms of dried grapes for muscatels,
shall not be considered as specialized areas. The aid shall not be paid for the cultivation of the abovementioned products on these areas.
3. Member States shall take all necessary measures for checking this minimum yield.
Pursuant to Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the per hectare aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera and who do not receive the aid provided for under the operational programme to combat that disease shall be ECU 3 244 per hectare.
The Member States concerned take the administrative provisions needed for the granting of this aid.
(2) shall not apply in such cases.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 9 July 2013
concerning the authorisation of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin as a feed additive for all animal species and amending Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on pigs for fattening, chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, bovines and salmon by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, bovines and salmon and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for all other animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, the environment or, provided that adequate measures to protect users are taken, on human health, and that it has the potential to be efficacious as pellet binder and anticaking agent at 10 000 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) As a new authorisation is granted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation
Clinoptilolite of sedimentary specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional groups ‘binders’ and ‘anticaking agents’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005
In Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005, the entry E 568, clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin, is deleted.
Transitional measures
The additive specified in Annex and feed containing that additive, which are produced and labelled before 30 January 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 30 July 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 85 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1112/93 of 6 May 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism in the beef and veal sector between the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and Spain and Portugal and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 3810/91 and (EEC) No 3829/92 (1), as last amended Regulation (EC) No 936/94 (2), set the indicative ceilings applicable in the beef and veal sector and the maximum quantities for which STM licences may be issued every two months;
Whereas STM licences issued in response to applications lodged on 26 July 1994 in Spain have exhausted that fraction of the indicative ceiling set aside for the fourth two months of 1994 for live animals;
Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted, by an emergency procedure, appropriate interim protective measures by Regulation (EC) No 1835/94 (3); whereas definitive measures must be adopted;
Whereas, as a definitive measure as referred to in Article 85 (3) of the Act of Accession, the issue of STM licences should be definitively discontinued in order to prevent any disturbance on the market;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The issue of STM licences is hereby suspended until 5 September 1994 for live animals of the bovine species, other than purebred breeding animals and animals for bullfights.
2. Further applications for STM licences may be lodged from 5 September 1994.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/340/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/855/EC of 3 November 2008 concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (3) lays down certain control measures in relation to classical swine fever in the Member States or regions thereof listed in the Annex thereto. Different epidemiological situations regarding classical swine fever are registered in Member States or areas thereof. The Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC therefore consists of three parts, each listing areas of Member States, to which different measures apply according to the epidemiological situation.
(2) Pursuant to Decision 2008/855/EC, Member States are to ensure that live pigs are dispatched from their territories to other Member States only if the pigs come from areas outside those listed in the Annex to that Decision.
(3) Part I of the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC lists Member States and areas thereof where the epidemiological situation for classical swine fever is most favourable. Consequently, Decision 2008/855/EC provides that the dispatch of live pigs originating from holdings located within an area listed in Part I of that Annex to holdings or slaughterhouses located in an area listed in that Part and belonging to another Member States may be authorised by the Member States of dispatch provided that certain conditions are complied with. In addition, fresh pigmeat from holdings located in those areas, and meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of those pigs, may be dispatched to other Member States.
(4) An outbreak of classical swine fever in domestic pigs was detected in Croatia in 2008 for the last time. However, seropositive cases in wild boars have been detected also in the hunting season 2012-13. Croatia applied appropriate measures to control classical swine fever, in line with the measures provided for in Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (4) and a programme for the eradication of the disease is currently in place.
(5) Croatia is expected to accede the Union on 1 July 2013. Given the epidemiological situation for classical swine fever in that country, it is appropriate to lay down measures for the control of classical swine fever in its territory in order to prevent the spread of the disease to other areas of the Union. On the basis of the information provided by the competent authority of Croatia, it is appropriate to include the territory of the counties of Karlovac, Sisak-Moslavina, Slavonski Brod-Posavina and Vukovar-Srijem in Part I of the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC.
(6) Decision 2008/855/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) This Decision should apply from the date of accession of Croatia to the European Union.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Part I of the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC, the following entry is added:
‘Croatia
The territory of the counties of Karlovac, Sisak-Moslavina, Slavonski Brod-Posavina and Vukovar-Srijem’
This Decision shall apply from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.

of 8 June 2010
repealing Decision 2006/601/EC on emergency measures regarding the non-authorised genetically modified organism ‘LL RICE 601’ in rice products, and providing for random testing for the absence of that organism in rice products
(notified under document C(2010) 3527)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/601/EC (2) requires that consignments of rice products originating from the United States of America and likely to be mixed may be placed on the market only if they are accompanied by certain documents demonstrating that the products concerned do not contain the genetically modified organism ‘LL RICE 601’. In addition, that Decision provides for certain other control measures.
(2) The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has published the results of its investigation on, in particular, the presence of ‘LL RICE 601’ in US commercial rice. While the exact mechanisms of the admixture could not be established, the findings indicated that the source of the admixture with ‘LL RICE 601’ was limited.
(3) Additionally, the US Rice Federation adopted a plan aiming to remove ‘LL RICE 601’ from the US export channels. This plan included testing of the seeds before planting, as well as documentary and analytical controls at the delivery points.
(4) Following the latest amendment to Decision 2006/601/EC, by Commission Decision 2008/162/EC (3), the 2008 seed test results for the five rice growing US states — Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Missouri —, provided in the framework of that plan, were all negative for the presence of ‘LL RICE 601’.
(5) The findings and conclusions of the Food and Veterinary Office report of 2008 concerning the evaluation of control activities in the United States of America regarding emergency measures for rice exports to the EU [United States 2008-7857] show that there was an acceptable system in place as regards the measures provided for in Decision 2006/601/EC.
(6) Testing by the US Rice Federation for the 2009 crop of harvested rice, also known as green rice, did not detect lots containing LLRice601. In addition, the US industry indicated that it would continue to apply its plan for the 2010 crop and to provide pre-export testing and certification even if the measure is lifted, should market interests require continued measures.
(7) Consequently, the reasons which justified Decision 2006/601/EC no longer exist. That Decision should therefore be repealed.
(8) Member States should nevertheless keep up monitoring, at an appropriate level of random testing, to verify the absence of rice products mixed with ‘LL RICE 601’ on the market. The results of this monitoring are to be rapidly communicated through the RASFF to the Commission which will evaluate whether further action is required.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2006/601/EC is repealed.
Member States shall ensure an appropriate level of random testing to verify the absence on the market of rice products containing, consisting of, or produced from the genetically modified ‘LL RICE 601’, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

Whereas the reasons given in the request, according to which the fitting of the stop lamps and the stop lamps themselves do not meet the requirements of Council Directive 76/758/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/516/EEC (4), and of Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers (5), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/663/EEC (6), are well founded; whereas the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and their compliance with ECE Regulations No 7 and No 48 ensure a satisfactory level of safety;

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 September 1984
approving aids from the Federal Republic of Germany to the coal-mining industry during 1983
(Only the German text is authentic)
(84/455/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefits of the coal industry in 1983; whereas of these measures the following may be approved pursuant to that Decision:
1.2 // // (DM million) // - Investment aids to individual projects under an investment programme: // 261,0 // - Aid for development and innovation (testing and trial of new equipment) in the coal-mining industry: // 50,0 // - Premiums to shift-paid workers and piece workers for each shift worked underground: // 212,0 // - Aid for the entertainment of long-term security stocks: // 144,5
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
Whereas the investment of DM 261 000 000 - including a special aid of DM 109 000 000 awarded to the Eschweiler Bergwerksverein - is proposed for investment projects for mines, coking plants, briquette works and pit-head power stations; whereas the percentage to all investment covered by investment aid is just under 30 %;
Whereas in relation to the Community's new policy for coal, this 1983 investment aid, which fell by nearly 50 % vis-Ă -vis 1982, is to be regarded as beneficial since it will promote the long-term stabilization of production in the German coalfields. The aid complies with the provisions of Article 7 (1) of the Decision;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 (5) of the Decision, the Federal Government must notify the Commission at least once a year, in respect of each project in the programme which it has decided to carry out, of the aims pursued, the sums invested and the amounts of the aid;
Whereas the sum of DM 50 000 000 to promote innovation is intended to ensure that research results are applied to production as quickly as possible; whereas the aid is lower than the costs borne by the undertakings and is granted in respect of individual projects which, when completed, are likely to prove their economic worth to coal-mining in the medium term; whereas the purpose and amount of this aid show that it is compatible with the third subparagraph of Article 7 (3) of the Decision;
Whereas the aid of DM 212 000 000 towards the payment of the coal-winning premium helps the coal industry to secure a stable, skilled workforce, which is imperative if its productivity is to increase; whereas the undertakings moreover incur expenditure on the necessary recruitment, training, retraining and retention of workers which is several times the amount of aid in the form of this premium;
Whereas the purpose and amount of the coal-winning premium show that this measure is compatible with Article 8 of the Decision;
Whereas the aid of DM 144 500 000 for the entertainment of long-term security stocks is a measure by the Federal Government to increase the long-term security of energy supply; whereas to this end, the emergency assosiciation of German mining industries has purchased 10 000 000 tonnes of coal and coke; whereas the aid proposed by the Federal Government for this purpose covers only part of the actual current cost of maintaining these stocks;
Whereas the purpose and amount of the aid show that this measure is compatible with Article 10 of the Decision;
II
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, an examiniation of the compatibilty of the abovementioned aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1983;
Whereas on this basis the total cost of the proposed amounts to 953 700 000 ECU i.e. 10,72 ECU per tonne produced; whereas, compared with other Member States, current production in the Federal Republic of Germany is more heavily subsidized (per tonne) than in the United Kingdom and substantially less than in France and Belgium;
Whereas the following remarks can be made on the compatibility of these aids for current production with the proper functioning of the common market:
- owing to the stocks of coal and coke on hand there were no supply difficulties in 1983,
- the level of exports of German coal to the other Member States rose slightly in 1983 compared with 1982,
- price alignment agreements were hardly entered into in 1983,
- industrial consumers of coal did not receive indirect aid in 1983 as a result of the prices of German coking coal and steam coal,
- rationalization of production in 1983 was achieved by investment and the closure of one pit;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the German aids for current production in the coal industry in 1983 are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this applies even when account is taken of aids to the coal-mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof; whereas the Commission must be informed, in particular, of the amount of the aids of the manner in which they were apportioned,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized in respect of the 1983 calendar year to grant the following aids to the coal-mining industry:
1. Grant of investment aid not exceeding DM 261 000 000 to undertakings in the coal industry in order to increase investment;
2. Promotion of development and innovation not exceeding DM 50 000 000;
3. Payment of premiums to shift-paid workers and piece workers for each shift worked underground, not exceeding DM 212 000 000;
4. Aid not exceeding DM 144 500 000 for the entertainment of long-term security stocks.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission by 30 June 1984 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2517/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down certain measures for reorganizing Community fruit production (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 794/76 (3), all national aid intended to encourage directly or indirectly the planting or replanting of apple, pear or peach orchards is forbidden;
Whereas it would nevertheless be useful to encourage the conversion of existing orchards to varieties which are better suited to regional production conditions and to changes in demand ; whereas, to that end, it would be appropriate to lift the ban on Member States granting national aid for the replanting of apple, pear and peach orchards,
Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2517/69 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 4
Subject to Article 92 (2) of the Treaty, all aid which may be granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever and intended to encourage directly or indirectly the planting or enlargement of apple, pear or peach orchards shall be forbidden."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1259/96(2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 of 12 February 1988 on the method and the rate of interest to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2623/1999(4), lays down that the uniform interest rate used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures is to correspond to the three months' and 12 months' forward Euribor rates with a weighting of one third and two thirds respectively.
(2) The Commission fixes this rate before the beginning of each EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting year on the basis of the rates recorded in the six months preceding fixing.
(3) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 lays down that if the rate of interest borne by a Member State is lower for at least six months than the uniform interest rate fixed for the Community, a specific interest rate is to be fixed for that Member State. Where a Member State has not notified the rates before the end of the accounting year, the rate to be applied is determined on the basis of the reference interest rates set out in the Annex to the said Regulation.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
For expenditure incurred during the 2004 EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting year:
1. the interest rate referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 shall be 2,3 %;
2. the specific interest rate referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 shall be 2,2 % for Italy.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2003.

DIRECTIVE 2009/35/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 23 April 2009
on the colouring matters which may be added to medicinal products
(recast)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 78/25/EEC of 12 December 1977 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the colouring matters which may be added to medicinal products (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.
(2) The primary purpose of any laws concerning medicinal products must be to safeguard public health. However, this objective must be attained by means which will not hinder the development of the pharmaceutical industry or trade in medicinal products within the Community.
(3) Directive 94/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on colours for use in foodstuffs (5) established a single list of colouring matters authorised for use in foodstuffs, but disparities between the laws of Member States concerning the colouring of medicinal products still exist.
(4) Those disparities tend to hinder trade in medicinal products within the Community and trade in colouring matters which may be added to those products. Such disparities therefore directly affect the functioning of the internal market.
(5) Experience has shown that there is no reason, on health grounds, why the colouring matters authorised for use in foodstuffs should not also be authorised for use in medicinal products. Consequently, Annex I to Directive 94/36/EC as well as the Annex to Commission Directive 95/45/EC of 26 July 1995 laying down specific purity criteria concerning colours for use in foodstuffs (6) should also apply for medicinal products.
(6) However, when the use of a colouring matter in foodstuffs and medicinal products is prohibited in order to safeguard public health, technological and economic disturbances should be avoided as far as is possible. To this end a procedure should be provided for which establishes close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within a committee for the adjustment to technical progress of the Directives on the elimination of technical barriers to trade in the sector of colouring matters which may be added to medicinal products.
(7) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (7).
(8) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to amend the limited period of use of medicinal products. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(9) The new elements introduced into this Directive only concern the committee procedures. They therefore do not need to be transposed by the Member States.
(10) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,
Member States shall not authorise, for the colouring of medicinal products for human and veterinary use as defined in Article 1 of Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (8) and in Article 1 of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (9), any colouring matters other than those covered by Annex I to Directive 94/36/EC.
Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the colouring matters covered by Annex I to Directive 94/36/EC satisfy the general specifications for aluminium lakes of colours and the specific criteria of purity laid down in the Annex to Directive 95/45/EC.
The methods of analysis needed to verify that the general and specific criteria of purity adopted pursuant to the First Commission Directive 81/712/EEC of 28 July 1981 laying down Community methods of analysis for verifying that certain additives used in foodstuffs satisfy criteria of purity (10) are satisfied shall also apply for the purpose of this Directive.
Where a colouring matter is deleted from Annex I to Directive 94/36/EC but the marketing of foodstuffs containing this colouring matter is permitted to continue for a limited period, this provision shall also apply to medicinal products.
This limited period of use may however be amended by the Commission as regards medicinal products.
Those measures designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, by supplementing it shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 5(2).

Whereas:
(1) Article 20a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides for the granting of a production refund for olive oil used in the preserving industry. Under paragraph 6 of that Article, and without prejudice to paragraph 3 thereof, the Commission shall fix this refund every two months.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 30 November 2009
concerning the non-inclusion of triazoxide in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document C(2009) 9271)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/860/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes triazoxide.
(3) For triazoxide the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For triazoxide the rapporteur Member State was the United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 25 June 2007.
(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group evaluation and presented to the Commission on 30 September 2008 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance triazoxide (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 February 2009 in the format of the Commission review report for triazoxide.
(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns have been identified. In particular it was not possible to perform a reliable consumer risk assessment as data are missing to determine the nature of residues in plant commodities and the possible transfer of residues in animal products. Moreover, the available data did not demonstrate that the long-term risk to mammals, birds, fish and earthworms are acceptable. Consequently, it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the information available that triazoxide met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing triazoxide satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Triazoxide should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing triazoxide are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing triazoxide should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing triazoxide remain available to farmers for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for triazoxide according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the detailed implementation rules of which have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion on the measures provided for in this Decision within the time limit laid down by its Chairman and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. Since, on the expiry of the period laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 19(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed measures nor indicated its opposition to them, they should be adopted by the Commission,
Triazoxide shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing triazoxide are withdrawn by 30 May 2010;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing triazoxide are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 30 May 2011 at the latest.

(2) For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to replace those sections in their entirety.
(3) Directive 2008/68/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

The Member States listed in the Annex to this Decision are authorised to implement the derogations set out therein regarding the transport of dangerous goods within their territory.

Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down that buying-in by invitation to tender is to be opened or suspended by the Commission in a Member State, as appropriate, once it is observed that, for two weeks in succession, the market price in that Member State is below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention price.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 237/2002 suspending the buying-in of butter in certain Member States(5) establishes the most recent list of Member States in which intervention is suspended.

on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities
(Codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 187 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 11 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) To enable it to carry out the duties entrusted to it by the Treaties, the Commission must have full and reliable information. With a view to efficient management, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, hereinafter referred to as ‘Eurostat’, should be able to obtain all the national statistical information necessary in order to prepare Community statistics and carry out the necessary analyses.
(3) Article 10 of the EC Treaty and Article 192 of the Euratom Treaty require Member States to facilitate the achievement of the Community's tasks. This obligation extends to providing all the requisite information. Moreover, the absence of confidential statistical data constitutes for Eurostat a considerable loss of information at Community level and makes it difficult to prepare statistics and carry out analyses on the Community.
(4) Member States have no further cause to invoke provisions on statistical confidentiality, since it is established that Eurostat offers the same data confidentiality guarantees as the national statistical institutes. These guarantees are already to some extent enshrined in the Community Treaties, notably in Article 287 of the EC Treaty, Article 194(1) of the Euratom Treaty, and Article 17 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 of the Council of 29 February 1968 laying down the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (4), and can be backed up by appropriate measures under this Regulation.
(5) Any violation of statistical confidentiality protected by this Regulation should be dealt with effectively, whoever the offender may be.
(6) Any infringement of the rules binding officials and other servants working for Eurostat, whether committed wilfully or through negligence, renders them liable to disciplinary sanctions and, if appropriate, legal penalties for violation of professional secrecy, pursuant to the combined provisions of Articles 12 and 18 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities.
(7) This Regulation applies only to the transmission to Eurostat of statistical data which, in the national statistical institutes' field of competence, are covered by statistical confidentiality, and does not affect special national or Community provisions relating to the transmission of other types of information to the Commission.
(8) This Regulation is to be adopted without prejudice to Article 296(1)(a) of the EC Treaty, under which no Member State is required to supply information the disclosure of which it considers contrary to the essential interests of its security.
(9) Implementation of the provisions contained in this Regulation, and in particular those designed to ensure the protection of confidential statistical data transmitted to Eurostat, will require human, technical and financial resources.
(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5),
1. The purpose of this Regulation is:
(a) to authorise national authorities to transmit confidential statistical data to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (hereinafter referred to as Eurostat);
(b) to provide a guarantee that the Commission will take all necessary measures to ensure the confidentiality of data thus transmitted.
2. This Regulation shall apply to statistical confidentiality only. It shall not affect special, Community or national provisions safeguarding confidentiality other than statistical confidentiality.
For the purposes of this Regulation, the terms given below are defined as follows:
(a) confidential statistical data: data defined in Article 13 of Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community statistics (6);
(b) national authorities: national statistical institutes and other national bodies responsible for the collection and use of statistics for the Communities;
(c) information on the private lives of natural persons: information on the private and family lives of natural persons as defined by national legislation or practices in the various Member States;
(d) use for statistical purposes: use exclusively for the compilation of statistical tables or for statistical economic analyses; may not be used for administrative, legal or tax purposes or for verification against the units surveyed;
(e) statistical unit: basic unit covered by statistical data transmitted to Eurostat;
(f) direct identification: identification of a statistical unit from its name or address, or from an officially allocated and published identification number;
(g) indirect identification: possibility of deducing the identity of a statistical unit other than from the information mentioned in point (f);
(h) officials of Eurostat: officials of the Communities, within the meaning of Article 1 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities, working at Eurostat;
(i) other staff of Eurostat: servants of the Communities, within the meaning of Articles 2 to 5 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities, working at Eurostat;
(j) dissemination: supply of data in any form whatever: publications, access to databases, microfiches, telephone communications, etc.
1. The national authorities shall be authorised to transmit confidential statistical data to Eurostat.
2. National rules on statistical confidentiality may not be invoked to prevent the transmission of confidential statistical data to Eurostat where an act of Community law governing a Community statistic provides for the transmission of such data.
3. Transmission to Eurostat of confidential statistical data, within the meaning of paragraph 2, shall be carried out in such a way that statistical units cannot be directly identified. This does not preclude the admissibility of more far-reaching transmission rules in accordance with the legislation of the Member States.
4. National authorities shall not be obliged to transmit information on the private lives of natural persons to Eurostat if the information transmitted could enable those persons to be identified either directly or indirectly.
1. The Commission shall take all the necessary regulatory, administrative, technical and organisational measures to ensure the confidentiality of statistical data transmitted by the competent departments of Member States to Eurostat in accordance with Article 3.
2. The Commission shall establish the procedures for transmitting confidential statistical data to Eurostat and the principles for protection of such data in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2).
1. The Commission shall instruct the Director-General of Eurostat to ensure the protection of data transmitted to Eurostat by the national authorities of the Member States. It shall establish the arrangements for the internal organisation of Eurostat in order to ensure such protection, after consulting the Committee referred to in Article 7(1).
2. Confidential statistical data transmitted to Eurostat shall be accessible only to officials of Eurostat and may be used by them exclusively for statistical purposes.
3. However, the Commission may grant access to confidential statistical data to other staff of Eurostat and other natural persons working on the premises of Eurostat under contract, in special cases and exclusively for statistical purposes. The procedures for such access shall be determined by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2).
4. Confidential statistical data in Eurostat's possession may be disseminated only when combined with other data in a form which ensures that statistical units cannot be identified either directly or indirectly.
5. Officials and other staff of Eurostat and other natural persons working on the premises of Eurostat under contract may not use or distribute these data for purposes other than those laid down in this Regulation. This prohibition shall continue to apply following transfer, termination of service or retirement.
6. The protection measures referred to in paragraphs 1 to 5 shall apply to:
(a) all confidential statistical data the transmission of which to Eurostat is covered by an act of Community law governing a Community statistic;
(b) all confidential statistical data transmitted voluntarily by Member States to Eurostat.
Member States shall, before 1 January 1992, take appropriate measures to curb any violations of the obligation to maintain the secrecy of confidential statistical data transmitted in accordance with Article 3. These measures shall concern at least violations committed in the territory of the Member State concerned, by officials or other staff of Eurostat and by the other natural persons working under contract on the premises of Eurostat.
Member States shall inform the Commission without delay of the measures taken. The Commission shall pass on this information to the other Member States.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by a Committee on Statistical Confidentiality, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
The Committee shall examine questions raised by its chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State, relating to the implementation of this Regulation.
Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90, as amended by the regulations set out in Annex I, is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1081/2000 of 22 May 2000 prohibiting the sale, supply and export to Burma/Myanmar of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism, and freezing the funds of certain persons related to important governmental functions in that country(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2084/2003(2), and in particular Article 4, first indent, thereof,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2011 of 5 August 2011 approving the active substance fluazifop-P, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 and Commission Decision 2008/934/EC (2) the active substance fluazifop-P was approved. The approval included the special provision ‘only uses as herbicide for orchards (basal application) with one application every year may be authorised’.
(2) On 29 June 2011 Syngenta Crop Protection AG, at whose request fluazifop-P had been approved, submitted an application for an amendment to the conditions of approval of the active substance fluazifop-P to allow uses as a herbicide to be authorised without restriction. That application was accompanied by information relating to the requested extension of uses. It was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 (3).
(3) France assessed the information submitted by the applicant and prepared an addendum to the draft assessment report. It submitted that addendum to the Commission, with a copy to the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 2 April 2012.
(4) The Authority circulated the addendum to the applicant and the Member States, with the exception of the rapporteur Member State, and made it available to the public, allowing a period of 60 days for the submission of written comments.
(5) The Authority organised an expert consultation as regards mammalian toxicology.
(6) Taking into account the addendum to the draft assessment report, the Authority adopted its conclusion on fluazifop-P on 18 October 2012 (4), as regards its unrestricted use as a herbicide. It communicated that conclusion to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission and made it available to the public. The draft assessment report, the addendum thereto and that conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 1 February 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for fluazifop-P. The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.
(7) It has appeared from the information submitted by the applicant that allowing uses as a herbicide to be authorised without restriction does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2011 and in the Commission review report on which that Implementing Regulation was based.
(8) On the basis of the review report, as finalised on 1 February 2013 and of the conclusion by the Authority adopted on 18 October 2012, it is appropriate to extend the approval of fluazifop-P to cover uses as a herbicide without restriction.
(9) In order to take into account the remaining uncertainty on the calculation of the degradation half time of the metabolite Compound X (5) Member States should pay particular attention to consumer safety as regards the occurrence in groundwater of that metabolite.
(10) Implementing Regulations (EU) No 788/2011 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2011
Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

of 18 January 2005
establishing, in accordance with Article 104(8) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, whether effective action has been taken by the Republic of Hungary in response to recommendations of the Council in accordance with Article 104(7) of that Treaty
(2005/348/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(8) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 104 of the Treaty, Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation. The Stability and Growth Pact includes Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1), set out in Article 104 of the Treaty, in order to further the prompt correction of excessive general government deficits.
(3) The Amsterdam Resolution of the European Council on the Stability and Growth Pact of 17 June 1997 (2) solemnly invites all parties, namely the Member States, the Council and the Commission, to implement the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact in a strict and timely manner.
(4) By Decision 2004/918/EC (3), the Council decided, in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, that an excessive deficit exists in Hungary.
(5) In accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, the Council adopted on 5 July 2004 a recommendation to the Hungarian authorities to bring the existence of an excessive deficit to an end as rapidly as possible and to take action in a medium-term framework to achieve the objective of bringing the deficit below 3 % of GDP by 2008 in a credible and sustainable manner, in accordance with the path for deficit reduction specified in the convergence programme submitted by the Hungarian authorities and endorsed in the Council opinion of 5 July 2004 on that programme (4). This Recommendation established the deadline of 5 November 2004 for the Hungarian Government to take effective action regarding the measures envisaged to achieve the 2005 deficit target of 4,1 % of GDP. In this recommendation, the Council also recommended the Republic of Hungary to implement with vigour the measures envisaged in the May 2004 convergence programme, and in particular to stand ready to introduce additional measures, if necessary, with a view to achieving the general government deficit target for 2004 of 4,6 % GDP. In addition, the Council invited the Hungarian authorities to seize every opportunity to accelerate fiscal adjustment; to undertake the envisaged reforms of the public administration, health and education systems; and to ensure that planned tax cuts were adequately financed and make their implementation conditional upon the achievement of the deficit targets.
(6) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, the Council, when considering whether effective action has been taken in response to its recommendations made in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty, is to base its decision on publicly announced decisions by the Government of the Member State concerned.
(7) An assessment of the publicly announced decisions taken by the Republic of Hungary between the issuing of the Council Recommendation in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and the deadline set in that Recommendation leads to the following conclusions:
— after the Council recommendation the Hungarian Government adopted a number of additional measures. They were based on the expenditure side and have contributed to a significant decline in the budget deficit in 2004 compared to 2003 and a more favourable and sustainable reorientation of growth. However, the action taken was not sufficient to achieve the 2004 budget deficit target of 4,6 % of GDP contained in the Council recommendation, which is expected to be missed by a sizeable margin,
— a number of measures have been announced in the 2005 Budget that are aimed at further reducing the budget deficit in 2005, including an ‘emergency’ reserve package of 0,5 % of GDP against a possible overshooting of the 2005 target. However, they will not be sufficient to meet the deficit target of 4,1 % of GDP contained in the Council recommendation, which is also expected to be missed by a sizeable margin,
— the measures taken so far by the Hungarian authorities will not avoid a deviation from the planned adjustment path of the May convergence programme. In this context, the continued commitment of the Hungarian Government to have the excessive deficit corrected by 2008 needs to be underpinned by decisive measures of further fiscal consolidation and more determined pursuit of structural reforms.
(8) Article 104(8) of the Treaty states that when the Council establishes that there has been no effective action in response to its recommendation in accordance with Article 104(7) of that Treaty, it may decide to make this recommendation public. However, in line with the Stability and Growth Pact Resolution of the European Council, the Republic of Hungary agreed to make the recommendation public in July 2004,
The Republic of Hungary has not taken effective action in response to the Council Recommendation of 5 July 2004 within the period laid down in that Recommendation.

Whereas, in accordance with Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, all new planting of vines is prohibited until 31 August 1998; whereas, however, there is provision for Member States to grant authorization for new vine planting for the 1996/97 and 1997/98 wine years for areas intended for the production of:
- quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr),
and
- table wines designated as one of the following: Landwein, vin de pays, indicazione geografica tipica, vino de la tierra, vinho regional, regional wine, etc.,
for which the Commission has recognized that production, by reason of its qualitative characteristics, is far from able to satisfy demand;
Whereas requests for the application of that provision as regards certain quality wines psr and vinho regional were submitted by Portugal on 29 November 1996, 6 January 1997 and 10 January 1997;
Whereas examination of those requests has revealed that the quality wines psr and vinho regional in question meet the requisite conditions; whereas the limit of 719 ha laid down in the Regulation has not been exceeded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The quality wines psr and vinho regional listed in the Annex meet the requirements of the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, provided that the increase in surface area listed in that Annex is complied with for all quality wines psr and vinho regional of the same region.

(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 913/97 of 22 May 1997 adopting exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, protection and surveillance zones have been established by the Spanish authorities pursuant to Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3), as last amended by Directive 93/384/EEC (4); whereas, consequently, in those zones trade in live pigs, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products which have not been subjected to heat treatment is temporarily prohibited;
Whereas restrictions on the free movement of goods resulting from the application of veterinary measures are likely to bring about a serious disturbance of the pigmeat market in Spain; whereas exceptional market support measures, to apply for no longer than is strictly necessary, must accordingly be adopted with respect solely to live animals from the directly affected areas;
Whereas, with the aim of preventing a further spread of the disease, the pigs produced in the said zones should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption, in accordance with Article 3 of Council Directive 90/667/EEC (5), as amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (6);
Whereas it is appropriate to grant aid for the delivery to the competent authorities of pigs for fattening and piglets coming from the affected zones;
Whereas in view of the extent of the disease and, in particular, of its duration, and consequently of the magnitude of the efforts needed to support the market, it is appropriate for the costs to be shared by the Community and the Member State concerned;
Whereas provision should be made for the Spanish authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures and to inform the Commission accordingly;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of live pigs have been operative for several weeks in the zones in question, resulting in a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and consequently an intolerable situation as regards the welfare of the animals; whereas application of this Regulation from 6 May 1997 is therefore justified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. From 6 May 1997 producers shall be eligible, on request, for aid granted by the competent Spanish authorities for delivery to them of pigs for fattening falling within CN code 0103 92 19 weighing 110 kilograms or more on average per batch.
2. From 6 May 1997 producers shall be eligible, on request, for aid granted by the competent Spanish authorities for delivery to them of piglets falling within CN code 0103 91 10 weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch.
3. 70 per cent of the expenditure relating to this aid shall be financed by the Community budget, for a total maximum number of animals as laid down in Annex I.
Only animals raised in the protection and surveillance zones located within the administrative regions listed in Annex II to this Regulation may be delivered, provided that the veterinary provisions laid down by the Spanish authorities apply in those zones on the day the animals are delivered.
On the day they are delivered, the animals shall be weighed and killed in such a way as to prevent the disease from spreading.
They shall be transported without delay to a rendering plant and processed into products falling within CN codes 1501 00 11, 1506 00 00 and 2301 10 00, in accordance with Article 3 of Council Directive 90/667/EEC.
However, pigs for fattening may be transported to a slaughterhouse where they are slaughtered immediately and may be stored in a cold store before transport to the rendering plant. Slaughter and storage shall be carried out in accordance with Annex III.
These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent Spanish authorities.
1. For pigs for fattening weighing 110 kilograms or more on average per batch, the aid referred to in Article 1 (1), at farm gate, shall be equal to the market price for slaughtered pigs of grade E within the meaning of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3537/89 (7) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2123/89 (8), recorded in Spain during the week preceding the delivery of the pigs for fattening to the competent authorities, less transport costs of ECU 1,3 per 100 kilograms carcass weight.
2. For pigs for fattening weighing less than 110 kilograms but more than 100 kilograms on average per batch, the aid fixed pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be reduced by 15 %.
3. The aid shall be fixed on the basis of the established slaughter weight. If, however, the animals are only weighed live, a coefficient of 0,81 shall be applied to the aid.
4. The aid referred to in Article 1 (2), at farm gate, shall be:
- ECU 69 per head for piglets weighing 21 kilograms or more on average per batch,
- ECU 60 per head for piglets weighing more than 15 kilograms on average per batch, but less than 21 kilograms,
- ECU 50 per head for young piglets weighing 8 kilograms or more on average per batch.
The competent Spanish authorities shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation and in particular with Article 2 thereof. They shall inform the Commission accordingly as soon as possible.
The competent Spanish authorities shall send the Commission each Wednesday the following information concerning the previous week:
- number and total weight of pigs for fattening delivered,
- number and total weight of piglets delivered.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 6 May 1997.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9(3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 of 8 March 1971 laying down general rules on private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses (3) permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the seasonal nature of Pecorino Romano cheese production results in the building up of stocks which are difficult to sell and which risk causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced for the quantities to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules of this measure should determine the maximum quantity to benefit from it as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question; whereas it is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract so as to enable the identification of the cheese and to maintain checks on the stock in respect of which aid is granted; whereas the aid should be fixed taking into account storage costs and the foreseeable trend of market prices;
Whereas Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 of 30 June 1993 fixing the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to milk and milk products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 420/98 (5), fixes the conversion rate to be applied in the framework of private storage aid schemes in the milk products sector;
Whereas experience shows that provisions on checks should be laid down, particularly as regards the documents to be submitted and checks to be made on the spot; whereas therefore, it should be provided that Member States require the costs of checks be fully or partly borne by the contractor;
Whereas it is appropriate to guarantee the continuation of the storage operations in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 15 000 tonnes of Pecorino Romano cheese manufactured in the Community and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than 2 tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 1 November 1997;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorisation from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorise an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorisation of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration;
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into storage during the previous week and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 1 May to 31 December 1998.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days storage under contract terminating before 31 March 1999. By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 2(1)(d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to 2 tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(a) ECU 100 per tonne for the fixed costs;
(b) ECU 0,35 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;
(c) ECU 0,65 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the financial costs.
2. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:
(a) ownership at the time of entry into storage;
(b) the origin and date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of entry into storage;
(d) presence in the store;
(e) the date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the operator of the store shall keep stock accounts available at the store, covering:
(a) identification, by contract number, of the products placed in private storage;
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight shown for each lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheese covered by contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2(1)(d), on entry into storage, the competent bodies shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible, for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The national authorities responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report on checks must be signed by the official responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator.
8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent body.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission before 15 December 1998:
(a) the quantity of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorisation referred to in Article 2(1)(d) has been given.

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

(1) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 213/2001(4), lays down the criteria for opening or suspending the buying-in of butter by invitation to tender in the Member States.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 827/2001(5) suspending the buying-in of butter in certain Member States establishes the list of Member States in which intervention is suspended. As a result of the market prices communicated by Sweden, intervention must no longer be suspended in this country and the list of Member States established by Regulation (EC) No 827/2001 adjusted accordingly.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 835/2011
of 19 August 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) sets maximum levels for benzo(a)pyrene in a range of foodstuffs.
(2) Benzo(a)pyrene belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and is used as a marker for the occurrence and effect of carcinogenic PAH in food based on a scientific opinion of the former Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) (3). In its opinion of December 2002, the SCF recommended that further analyses of the relative proportions of these PAH in foods would be necessary for a future review of the suitability of maintaining benzo(a)pyrene as a marker.
(3) New data on occurrence of carcinogenic PAH in foodstuffs have been collected by the Member States in the framework of Commission Recommendation 2005/108/EC (4). The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to review the SCF opinion taking into account the new occurrence data, other relevant new scientific information as well as the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach. Within this review, EFSA was asked to re-assess the suitability of maintaining benzo(a)pyrene as a marker.
(4) The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) of EFSA adopted an opinion on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Food on 9 June 2008 (5). In this opinion EFSA concluded that benzo(a)pyrene is not a suitable marker for the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in food and that a system of four specific substances (PAH4 (6)) or eight specific substances (PAH8 (7)) would be the most suitable indicators of PAH in food. EFSA also concluded that a system of eight substances (PAH8) would not provide much added value compared to a system of four substances (PAH4).
(5) Furthermore, the CONTAM Panel concluded, using the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach, that there is low concern for consumer health at the average estimated dietary exposures. However, for high level consumers the MOEs were close to or less than 10 000, which indicates a potential concern for consumer health.
(6) Based on the conclusions of EFSA, the current system of using benzo(a)pyrene as the only marker for the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, can not be maintained. An amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is therefore necessary.
(7) New maximum levels for the sum of four substances (PAH4) (benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and chrysene) should be introduced, whilst maintaining a separate maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene.
(8) Such system would ensure that PAH levels in food are kept at levels that do not cause health concern and that the amount of PAH can also be controlled in those samples in which benzo(a)pyrene is not detectable, but where other PAH are present.
(9) The separate maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene is maintained to ensure comparability of previous and future data. After a certain time of implementation of this amendment and on basis of new data that will be generated in future, the need for retaining a separate maximum level for benzo(a) pyrene should be re-assessed.
(10) As regards the sum of the four substances (PAH4), lower bound concentrations should be used as the basis for compliance decisions.
(11) Maximum levels for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) based upon good manufacturing and agricultural/fishery practices. The new PAH occurrence data show that background levels of PAH are lower than previously thought in some food commodities. Benzo(a)pyrene maximum levels have therefore been adapted to reflect more realistic lower background levels in fresh and smoked bivalve molluscs.
(12) Data for smoked fish and smoked meat have also shown that lower maximum levels are achievable. Nevertheless, adaptations of current smoking technology may be necessary in some cases. Therefore, a two step procedure should be established for smoked meat and smoked fish which grants a transition of two years from the date of application of this Regulation before lower maximum levels become applicable.
(13) Smoked sprats and canned smoked sprats have been found to contain higher levels of PAH than other smoked fish. Specific maximum levels should be established for smoked sprats and canned smoked sprats in order to reflect what is achievable in these foodstuffs.
(14) Previously a maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene in "muscle meat of fish other than smoked fish" was established as an indicator for potential environmental pollution. Nevertheless, it has been shown that PAH are quickly metabolised in fresh fish and do not accumulate in the muscle meat. Therefore, maintaining a maximum level for PAH in fresh fish is no longer appropriate.
(15) High levels of PAH have been found in some types of heat treated meat and heat treated meat products sold to the final consumer. These levels are avoidable if appropriate processing conditions and equipment are used. It is therefore appropriate to establish maximum levels for PAH in meat and meat products that have undergone a heat treatment process known to potentially result in formation of PAH, i.e. only grilling and barbecuing.
(16) Cocoa butter was temporarily exempted from the existing maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene in oils and fats under Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 and a review of the appropriateness of setting a maximum level for PAH in cocoa butter was foreseen by 1 April 2007. The review was then postponed pending the result of the then ongoing scientific re-assessment of PAH by EFSA.
(17) Cocoa butter contains higher levels of PAH than other oils and fats. This is mainly due to inappropriate drying practices of the cocoa beans and the fact that cocoa butter can not be refined as other vegetable oils and fats. Cocoa butter is a main constituent of cocoa raw products (e.g. cocoa beans, cocoa mass, cocoa nibs or cocoa liquor) and is present in chocolate and other cocoa products often consumed by children. It thereby contributes to human exposure, in particular to exposure of children. It is therefore necessary to establish maximum levels for PAH in cocoa beans and derived products, thereby also including cocoa butter.
(18) Maximum levels for PAH in cocoa beans should be established at levels as low as reasonably achievable and taking into account the current technological possibilities of producing countries. They should be established on a fat basis since PAH concentrate in the fat fraction, the cocoa butter. To allow producing countries to make technological improvements in order to adapt to these maximum levels, the date of application of the maximum levels for cocoa beans and derived products should be deferred. Furthermore, initially a higher maximum level for the sum of the four substances should apply to these products. After a transition period of two years a lower maximum level should apply. The levels of PAH in cocoa beans and derived products should be regularly monitored with a view to assessing the possibility for further decreasing the maximum levels in future.
(19) Data have shown that coconut oil can contain higher amounts of PAH4 than other vegetable oils and fats. This is due to the proportionally higher presence of benz(a)anthracene and chrysene which can not be easily removed during refinement of coconut oil. Specific maximum levels for coconut oil should therefore be set at levels as low as reasonably achievable and taking into account the current technological possibilities of producing countries. As technological improvements in producing countries are expected, the levels of PAH in coconut oil should be regularly monitored with a view to assessing the possibility for setting lower levels in future.
(20) Current occurrence data on PAH in cereals and vegetables are limited. The available data indicate that cereals and vegetables contain rather low levels of PAH. The low levels seen in the currently available occurrence data do not justify the immediate setting of maximum levels. Nevertheless, EFSA identified cereals and vegetables as being important contributors to human exposure due to their high consumption. Therefore, PAH levels in these two product groups should be further monitored. On the basis of further data, the need for setting maximum levels will be evaluated.
(21) High levels of PAH have been found in some food supplements. Nevertheless, the levels are variable and depend on the specific type of food supplements. Further data on food supplements are needed and should be collected. Once these data become available, the need for setting maximum levels for PAH in food supplements will be evaluated.
(22) Member States and food business operators should be allowed time to adapt to the maximum levels established by this Regulation. The date of application of this Regulation should therefore be deferred. A transitional period should be provided for the products already placed on the market before the date of application of the amendments introduced by this Regulation.
(23) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
1. Foodstuffs not complying with the maximum levels applicable from 1 September 2012 pursuant to Section 6 "Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons" of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, as amended by this Regulation, which are lawfully placed on the market prior to 1 September 2012, may continue to be marketed after that date until their date of minimum durability or use-by-date.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 June 1988
setting up a prior communication and consultation procedure on migration policies in relation to non-member countries
(88/384/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 118 thereof,
Whereas the foreign populations in the Community and the changes which have taken place in their composition are important demographic factors, more especially by virtue of the permanent nature of their presence, the reuniting of families and the fact of their high birth rate;
Whereas there are problems linked with their integration into the workforce and society and, more particularly, those encountered in the education, training and employment of the second generation;
Whereas it is important to ensure that the migration policies of Member States in relation to non-member countries take into account both common policies and the actions taken at Community level, particularly within the framework of Community labour market policy, in order not to jeopardize the results; whereas it is necessary to facilitate the exchange of information and views in these areas with a view to adopting common propositions, and it is therefore important to organize a consultation procedure ensuring the participation of all Member States;
Whereas, moreover, the Council in its resolution of 9 February 1976 (1) concerning an action programme in favour of migrant workers and members of their families and in its resolution of 27 June 1980 (2) concerning orientation towards a Community labour market policy, underlined the importance of undertaking appropriate consultation on migration policies in relation to non-member countries, and whereas integration of the Community labour market should be favoured in the framework of free movement of the labour force within the Community, in particular by appropriate consultation on these policies, in accordance with the conclusions which the Council adopted on 22 November 1979 on this subject; whereas its resolution of 16 July 1985 (3) on guidelines for a Community policy on migration reaffirmed the need for such consultation;
Whereas, moreover, the final communiqué of the Conference of Heads of State or of Government of 9 and 10 December 1974 in Paris recommends, in point 10, the stage-by-stage harmonization of legislation concerning foreigners; whereas the European Council on 25 and 26 June 1984 adopted conclusions on social policy; whereas in a declaration annexed to the Final Act of the Single European Act (4), the Intergovernmental Conference expressed the will of the Member States to cooperate ‘without prejudice to the powers of the Community, in particular as regards the entry, movement and residence of nationals of third countries’;
Whereas in its resolution of 9 June 1983 (5) concerning, inter alia, the passport union and the suppression of individual controls at Community frontiers, the European Parliament urged the Council and the Commission to make further proposals particularly with a view to harmonization of visa policies and legislation concerning foreigners;
Whereas the role of the Commission, in view of the powers conferred on it by the Treaty, is to promote cooperation between Member States in the field of social policy, in particular in the different areas mentioned above, and to organize appropriate consultations to this end;
Whereas, to this end, the Commission adopted Decision 85/381/EEC (6) setting up a prior communication and consultation procedure on migration policies in relation to non-member countries;
Whereas in its judgment of 9 July 1987 handed down in joined cases 281, 283, 284, 285 and 287/85 (Federal Republic of Germany, French Republic, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Kingdom of Denmark, United Kingdom v Commission), the Court of Justice ruled that cooperation between Member States in the social field, provided for in the first paragraph of Article 118 of the Treaty, extends to migration policies in relation to non-member countries in that the power to arrange consultation granted to the Commission under the second paragraph of Article 118 authorizes it to adopt rules of a binding nature;
Whereas this Decision reproduces the content of Decision 85/381/EEC with the amendments dictated by the abovementioned judgement of 9 July 1987,
1. The Member States shall give the Commission and the other Member States in good time, and at the latest at the moment they are made public, advance information of:
— draft measures which they intend to take with regard to third country workers and members of their families, in the areas of entry, residence and employment, including illegal entry, residence and employment, as well as the realization of equality of treatment in living and working conditions, wages and economic rights, the promotion of integration into the workforce and society, and the voluntary return of such persons to their countries of origin,
— draft agreements relating to the abovementioned matters, as well as draft cooperation agreements which they intend to negotiate or renegotiate with third countries, when these agreements involve provisions relating to the abovementioned matters,
— draft agreements relating to conditions of residence and employement of their nationals working in third countries and members of their families, which they intend to negotiate or renegotiate with those countries.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission and to the other Member States, in the areas mentioned in paragraph 1, the texts of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action already in force, and also the texts of agreements made with third countries.
1. If, within the space of two weeks from the date of receipt of the documents mentioned in Article 1, a Member State so requests, or if the Commission so decides on its own initiative, the Commission shall proceed with the consultation with the Member States on those documents within six weeks of their receipt.
The Commission shall proceed with this consultation immediately, if a Member State requests it to do so as a matter of urgency.
2. The Commission may at any time, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, arrange a consultation on the draft provisions and agreements referred to in Article 1, except in the case of questions upon which consultation has already taken place and concerning which no new developments have arisen.
The objectives of the consultation procedure provided for in Article 2 (1) shall be, inter alia:
(a) to facilitate the mutual exchange of information and the identification of problems of common interest and, in relation to those problems, to facilitate the adoption of a common policy by the Member States particularly as regards international instruments relating to migration;
(b) to examine the possibility of measures, which might be taken by the Community or Member States in the fields referred to in Article 1, aimed at achieving progress towards the harmonization of national legislation on foreigners, promoting the inclusion of a maximum of common provisions in bilateral agreements, and improving the protection of Community nationals working and living in third countries.
1. Consultation shall be arranged by the Commission. Meetings shall be chaired by the Commission, which shall also provide the Secretariat.
2. The consultation procedure established by this Decision shall not affect the responsibilities of committees already in existence, in particular those of the Advisory and Technical Committee, as determined by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 (7).
3. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure the proper functioning of the consultation procedure, and in particular, where necessary, to safeguard the confidential nature of the information which will be made available to them in that connection.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 October 1996 laying down a Community procedure for flavouring substances used or intended for use in or on foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 lays down the procedure for the establishment of rules in respect of flavouring substances used or intended to be used in foodstuffs. That Regulation provides for the adoption of a register of flavouring substances (the register) following notification by the Member States of a list of the flavouring substances which may be used in or in on foodstuffs marketed in their territory and on the basis of scrutiny by the Commission of that notification.
(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 provides for a programme of evaluation of the flavouring substances contained in the register (the evaluation programme) in order to check if those substances comply within the general criteria for their use set out in the Annex to that Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 provides that the persons responsible for placing the flavouring substances on the market are to forward data necessary for their evaluation to the Commission. That Regulation also provides that following completion of the evaluation programme, the list of flavouring substances the use of which is to be authorised to the exclusion of others, is to be adopted.
(3) By Decision 1999/217/EC (2) the Commission adopted, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2232/96, a register of flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000 of 18 July 2000 laying down the measures necessary for the adoption of an evaluation programme in application of Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), provides for certain information to be submitted by the person responsible for placing certain flavouring substances contained in the register on the market in order to enable the evaluation of the substance to be carried out.
(5) For 148 substances no information has been submitted nor has the Commission been informed about any intention to still submit information. Therefore, those substances cannot be evaluated in respect of their compliance with the general criteria for the use of flavouring substances set out in Regulation (EC) No 2232/96. Accordingly, it is appropriate to delete those substances from the register.
(6) In application of Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 and Commission Recommendation 98/282/EC of 21 April 1998 on the ways in which the Member States and the signatory States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area should protect intellectual property in connection with the development and manufacture of flavouring substances referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), for a number of substances, the notifying Member States requested that they should be registered in such a way as to protect the intellectual property rights of the manufacturer.
(7) Protection for those substances, listed in Part B of the register, is limited to a maximum period of five years following the date of receipt of the notification. That period has now expired for the four remaining substances which should consequently be transferred to Part A of the register.
(8) Decision 1999/217/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 1999/217/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 472/2009
of 25 May 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 as regards the national restructuring programmes for the cotton sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of 1979, and in particular paragraph 6 of Protocol No 4 on cotton (1) annexed thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Chapter 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 of 23 June 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and establishing national restructuring programmes for the cotton sector (2) contains provisions on four-year restructuring programmes to be decided at Member State level to finance, inter alia, specific measures to assist the ginning industry.
(2) As a result of recent developments in the economic situation of the cotton sector in the Community, and the consequential need to carry out substantial restructuring operations immediately, and to include all ginning companies concerned, the introduction of an eight-year restructuring programming period is justified. Where a Member State introduces such an eight-year restructuring programme, the transfer to the national ceiling as determined in Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3) should follow immediately.
(3) Article 7(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 provides that the beneficiaries of the aid under Chapter IV of Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (4) in the marketing year 2005/2006 are the beneficiaries of the measures referred to in Article 7(1)(a), (b) and (d) of Regulation (EC) No 637/2008. However, since some ginning factories were not operated by their owners in that reference marketing year and those owners were not beneficiaries under Chapter IV of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, those ginning factories were excluded from participating in the restructuring process. For the national restructuring programmes to be effective all ginning factories that were active in the reference marketing year 2005/2006 and eligible for support under Chapter IV of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 should be covered by the measures under Article 7(1)(a), (b) and (d) of Regulation (EC) No 637/2008. Therefore, it is appropriate that as regards that marketing year, the owner of the factory should qualify as the beneficiary under the restructuring programme concerned.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 4(1) the following subparagraph shall be inserted after the first subparagraph:
2. in Article 5(2), the following subparagraph shall be added:
3. in Article 7(2), point (a) shall be replaced by the following:
‘(a) the owners of the ginning facilities in respect of which aid under Chapter IV of Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 (5) was granted in the marketing year 2005/2006, for aid under the measures referred to in paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d) of this Article;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 188/2009
of 9 March 2009
terminating the partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) Following an investigation (the original investigation), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts (HPT) originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The original investigation used as investigation period the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 684/2008 (3) the Council clarified the product scope of the original investigation.
2. Request for a review
(3) This partial interim review was initiated on the basis of a request lodged, and information provided, by Yale (Hangzhou) Industrial Products Co. Ltd (Yale), an exporter from the PRC. The information indicated that the circumstances on the basis of which measures were established with respect to Yale have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. In particular Yale provided prima facie evidence showing that it meets the criteria for market economy treatment and that a comparison of normal value based on its own costs and export prices to the Community would lead to a dumping margin significantly lower than the current level of the measures. Therefore the continued imposition of measures at the existing level, which were based on the level of dumping previously established, appeared to be no longer necessary to offset dumping.
3. Review investigation
(4) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(4) the initiation of a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited to the examination of dumping as far as Yale is concerned.
(5) The investigation period of dumping covered the period from 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007 (review investigation period or RIP).
(6) The Commission officially advised Yale, as well as the representatives of the PRC (country concerned), and the Community industry, as defined in the original investigation, of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing.
(7) The Commission sent questionnaires to Yale, to the Community industry producers known to be concerned, to known producers of HPT in Canada which was chosen as analogue country in the original investigation and to known producers of HPT in India and Malaysia, which were mentioned during the original investigation as possible alternative analogue countries. The Commission also sent a claim form for market economy treatment (MET) to Yale.
(8) Replies to the questionnaires, as well as comments and information, were received from Yale and one Community industry producer.
(9) The Commission sought and verified all information deemed necessary for the determination of MET and dumping, analysed the information provided and carried out verification visits at the following companies:
— Yale (Hangzhou) Industrial Products Co Ltd, Hangzhou, PRC,
— Yale Industrial Products GmbH, Velbert, Germany.
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
1. Product concerned
(10) The definition of the product concerned corresponds to the one that was used in the original investigation, as clarified by Regulation (EC) No 684/2008. The product concerned is hand pallet trucks, not self-propelled, used for the handling of materials normally placed on pallets, and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the PRC, falling within CN code ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00. For the purposes of the Regulation imposing the definitive anti-dumping duty mentioned under recital 1, hand pallet trucks are trucks with wheels supporting lifting fork arms for handling pallets, designed to be manually pushed, pulled and steered, on smooth, level, hard surfaces, by a pedestrian operator using an articulated tiller. The hand pallet trucks are only designed to raise a load, by pumping the tiller, to a height sufficient for transporting and do not have any other additional functions or uses such as for example (i) to move and to lift the loads in order to place them higher or assist in storage of loads (highlifters), (ii) to stack one pallet above the other (stackers), (iii) to lift the load to a working level (scissorlifts) or (iv) to lift and to weigh the loads (weighing trucks).
2. Like product
(11) The current review has shown that the HPT produced in the PRC by Yale and sold on the Chinese market have the same basic physical characteristics and the same uses as those exported to the Community. Therefore, these products are considered to be a like product within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Market economy treatment (MET)
(12) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of the said Article for those exporting producers which have shown that they meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, i.e. where it is demonstrated by such exporting producers that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product. Briefly, and for ease of reference only, these criteria are set out in a summarised form below:
1. business decisions and costs are made in response to market conditions, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values;
2. firms have one clear set of accounting records which are independently audited, in line with International Accounting Standards (IAS) and applied for all purposes;
3. there are no significant distortions carried over from the former non-market economy system;
4. legal certainty and stability is provided by bankruptcy and property laws;
5. currency exchanges are carried out at the market rate.
(13) Yale requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation and replied to the MET claim form for exporting producers within the given deadlines.
(14) The Commission sought all information deemed necessary and verified the information submitted in the MET claim at the premises of the company in question.
(15) Yale did not show that it fulfils all the criteria set out in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation. The company did not fulfil criteria 1 and 2.
(16) As far as criterion 1 is concerned it was established on the spot that the company’s Articles of Association (AoA) contained explicit domestic sales restrictions, namely the company was obliged to sell 100 % of its products to overseas markets. Yale argued that those restrictions never played any role in substance as it had some minor domestic sales during the RIP. Nevertheless, the company was not in a position to present concrete evidence demonstrating that it was de facto and de jure not subject to the aforesaid restriction stipulated by its AoA. Furthermore, evidence of State influence on the company’s decisions with regard to export sales was established on spot. It was revealed that since 2002 Yale benefits from a 50 % tax cut on its income tax rate. This tax cut is derived from the relevant implementing rules of the income tax law for enterprises with foreign investment and foreign enterprises. The rules stipulate that export oriented foreign invested enterprises, like Yale, with export sales that amount to 70 % or more of the total sales for the year are entitled to 50 % tax cuts after the period of enterprise income tax reductions has expired. It can be seen from the above that Yale does not take its business decisions with respect to its export sales only in the light of market signals reflecting supply and demand. The company is subject to significant State influence consisting of the award of certain tax benefits on the explicit condition that it takes certain business decisions with respect to its domestic and export sales. Account taken of all the above, it was consequently concluded that the company has not shown that it fulfils criterion 1.
(17) As far as criterion 2 is concerned it was established on the spot that fundamental International Accounting Standards principles were disregarded (i.e. accrual principle, exchange rates conversion policies, lack of fair representation of the financial position and use of accounts prepared only for the purposes of the investigation) both in the accounts and in their audit, which put into question the reliability of the company’s accounts. Consequently, it was concluded that the company has not shown that it fulfils criterion 2.
(18) Yale and the Community industry were given an opportunity to comment on the above findings. No specific comments with respect to the above findings were made by Yale whereas one Community industry producer submitted some general comments.
(19) On the basis of the above, it was concluded that Yale has not shown that it fulfils all the criteria set out in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation and, thus, could not be granted MET.
2. Individual treatment (IT)
(20) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, a countrywide duty, if any, is established for countries falling under that Article, except in those cases where companies are able to demonstrate that they meet all criteria set out in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and can thus be granted IT.
(21) Yale also claimed IT in the event that it would not be granted MET.
(22) On the basis of the information available, it was established that the company did not fulfil the requirements foreseen in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation. In particular, as it is described in detail under recital 16, it was revealed at the on-the-spot-verification that the company was not in a position to freely determine its export quantities and conditions and terms of sale. Indeed, as outlined above, the company’s decisions with respect to domestic and export sales were linked to State-imposed sales restrictions contained in the company’s AoA. It was therefore concluded that the company could not be granted IT.
3. Dumping margin during the RIP
(23) As described under recitals 18 and 22 above, Yale was not granted either MET or IT. The situation of Yale has thus not changed with respect to the original investigation. In this regard it is recalled that as stated under recital 4, this review is limited in scope to the dumping as far as Yale is concerned. Thus, since no neither MET nor IT is granted, no new dumping margin, higher or lower than the existing one can be established for Yale in this review. Finally, it is pertinent to note that during the original investigation Yale was a known exporting producer in the PRC, whom the Commission officially advised at the time of the initiation of the original investigation, but it did not cooperate. In the original investigation five exporting producers cooperated with the investigation, one of which was granted MET and four were granted IT. With respect to Yale, its dumping margin was the countrywide dumping margin applicable to all exporters that did not cooperate with the original investigation.
D. TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW
(24) In light of the results of the investigation, the review should be terminated without amending the level of the duty applicable to Yale, which should be maintained at the level of the definitive anti-dumping duty rate established in the original investigation, i.e. 46,7 %.
E. DISCLOSURE
(25) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to terminate the present review and to maintain the existing anti-dumping duty on imports of HPT produced by Yale.
(26) All interested parties were given an opportunity to comment. The comments received were not of a nature as to change the conclusions.
(27) Following disclosure, Yale claimed that it should be granted IT. Nevertheless, the arguments submitted were not adequately substantiated and could not dispute the results of the investigation as described under recitals 16 and 22. Furthermore, by a letter dated 22 January 2009 and addressed to the Commission, Yale withdrew its application for a partial interim review.
(28) This review should therefore be terminated without any amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005,
The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 is hereby terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus to be amended as a result of the monetary realignments (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/93 (5), and in particular
Article 2
thereof,
Whereas Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed each year before the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas the importance of sweet orange production in the Community is such that a reference price must be fixed for that product;
Whereas the period during which oranges harvested during a given crop year are marketed extends from October to 15 July of the following year; whereas the quantity put on the market during October and November and from 1 June to 15 July of the following year represents only a small percentage of that marketed over the whole marketing year; whereas the reference price should therefore be fixed only for a period running from 1 December to 31 May of the following year;
Whereas the fixing of a single reference price valid for the whole marketing year appears to be the solution most suited to the particular nature of the Community market in the product in question;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of the abovementioned Regulation stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State with regard to Article 23 (2) plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92 of 28 December 1992 on transitional measures for the application of the agrimonetary arrangements laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (6) establishes a correspondence between the provisions of the agrimonetary arrangements applicable form 1 January 1993 and those applicable before that date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to divided by a coefficient of 1,010495, fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (7) amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (8), as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down tht the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed; whereas, however, this adjustment may not result in a reference price level below that of the preceding marketing year, in accordance with Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the reference price for fresh sweet oranges (CN codes 0805 10 11, 15, 19, 21, 25, 29, 31, 35, 39, 41, 45 and 49) expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net and applicable to class I all sizes, packed, shall, for the period 1 December 1993 to 31 May 1994, be: 22,75.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Peas are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as products for which standards are to be adopted. Regulation No 58 of the Commission(3) laying down common quality standards for certain products listed in Annex IB to Regulation No 23, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 888/97(4), has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity.
(2) The rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I.3 to Regulation No 58 deleted. To that end, for reasons of trnsparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for peas by the Working Party on standardisation of perishable produce and quality development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(3) The effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable.
(4) The standards are applicable at all stages of marketing. Transport over a great distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling opeations to which the products are subjected may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh fruit and vegetables,
The marketing standards for peas falling within CN code 0708 10 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show, in relation to the provisions of the standards, a slight lack of freshness and turgitidy, and slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Annex I.3 to Regulation No 58 is hereby deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the first day of the first month following the month of its entry into force.

Whereas:
(1) In view of the current situation on the cereals market, an invitation should be opened, in respect of barley to tender for the export refund provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(2) The detailed procedural rules governing invitations to tender are as regards the fixing of the export refund in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. The commitments on the part of the tenderer include an obligation to lodge an application for an export licence. Compliance with this obligation may be ensured by requiring tenderers to lodge a tendering security of EUR 12 per tonne when they submit their tenders.
(3) It is necessary to provide for a specific period of validity for licences issued under that invitation to tender. That period of validity must meet the needs of the world market for the 2001/02 marketing year.
(4) In order to ensure that all those concerned are treated equally, it is necessary to lay down that the period of validity of the licences issued should be identical.
(5) In order to ensure the smooth operation of the export tendering procedure it is appropriate to prescribe a minimum quantity to be tendered for and a time limit and form for the communication of tenders submitted to the competent authorities.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Tenders shall be invited for the export refund provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
2. The tendering procedure shall concern barley for export to all third countries except the United States and Canada.
3. The invitation shall remain open until 30 May 2002. During this period weekly awards shall be made, for which the quantities and the time limits for the submission of tenders shall be as prescribed in the notice of invitation to tender.

A tender shall be valid only if it relates to an amount of not less than 1000 tonnes.
The security referred to in Article 5(3a) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall be EUR 12 per tonne.
1. Notwithstanding Article 23(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(5), export licences issued under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall, for the purpose of determining their period of validity, be deemed to have been issued on the day on which the tender was submitted.
2. Export licences issued in connection with the invitations to tender pursuant to this Regulation shall be valid from their date of issue, as defined in paragraph 1, until the end of the fourth month following that of issue.
Notwithstanding Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 90/2001(7), proof of completion of customs formalities for release for consumption shall not be required for payment of refunds fixed in a contract awarded under this tender, in so far as the operator provides proof that a quantity of at least 1500 tonnes of cereal products have left the customs territory of the Community on board a vessel suitable for sea transport.
1. The Commission shall decide, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92:
- to fix a maximum export refund, taking account in particular of the criteria laid down in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95, or
- to make no award.

of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991) forwarded by Portugal pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(88/150/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 14 April 1987, the Portuguese Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfills the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources was introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 (2);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 is aimed at facilitating the structural development of the fisheries sector within the framework of the guidelines of the common fisheries policy; whereas such structural development may be encouraged by appropriate measures supported with Community financial aid;
Whereas such measures should help to create a fishing fleet that is adapted to likely medium-term catch opportunities in both Community and non-Community waters; whereas these measures should, in particular, be based on an attempt to ensure balanced exploitation of internal resources in Community waters;
Whereas the measures implemented under the Community rules adopted for the decade from 1987 to 1997 are a continuation of the efforts made since 1 January 1986 to improve the structural situation up to 31 December 1986 through common measures to restructure, modernize and develop the fisheries sector; whereas, therefore, the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 86/351/EEC (3) constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the objectives of the guidance programme for 1986 have not been fully achieved; whereas the current or likely situation as regards availabilities in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned do not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1987 to 1991;
Whereas these forecasts could be reviewed were there to be any significant change in availabilities, backed up by scientific evidence, and in the light of the development of international fishery relations between the Community and coastal third States;
Whereas, in addition, the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fishing capacities and availabilities;
Whereas the desired structural adjustments should be implemented on a gradual and continuing basis to reduce the economic and social impact they may have to a minimum;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the Portuguese Government on 14 April 1987 and as later supplemented by that Government, is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
Each year, at the latest by 15 February and 31 July, Portugal shall forward to the Commission, in respect of each category of vessels defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 31 December or 30 June.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
The Commission shall, on the basis of its assessment of the information provided on a regular basis as specified in Article 2 or, where this information is repeatedly not supplied, notify the Member State, at the end of two consecutive six-month periods, that it has been found that the conditions to which approval of the programme was made subject have not been fulfilled.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1733/2006
of 23 November 2006
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 November 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |
