32003R1395 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1395/2003 of 4 August 2003 determining the world market price for unginned cotton
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1395/2003
of 4 August 2003
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 27,762/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 August 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |
31990R3729 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90 of 13 December 1990 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt (1991)
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3729/90
of 13 December 1990
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products orginating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt (1991)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Cooperation Agreements between the European Economic Community of the one part and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria (1), the Kingdom of Morocco (2), the Republic of Tunisia (3) and the Arab Republic of Egypt (4) of the other part, as supplemented by the additional Protocols thereto (5) (6) (7) (8), provide for the opening by the Community of Community tariff quotas for:
- 39 000 tonnes and 98 000 tonnes of new potatoes falling within CN code ex 0701 90 51 originating in Morocco and Egypt respectively (1 January to 31 March).
- 86 000 tonnes of tomatoes, fresh or chilled, falling within CN code ex 0702 00 10 originating in Morocco (15 November to 30 April), of which 15 000 tonnes in April,
- 10 100 tonnes of tomatoes, fresh or chilled, falling
within CN codes ex 0703 10 11, ex 0703 10 19 and ex 0709 90 90 originating in Egypt (1 February to 15 May),
- 4 900 tonnes of onions falling within CN code 0712 20 00, originating in Egypt,
- 265 000 tonnes, 28 000 tonnes and 7 000 tonnes of oranges, fresh, falling within CN code ex 0805 10, originating respectively in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt (1 July to 30 June),
- 8 700 tonnes of peas and immature beans of the
species Phaseolus spp., in pod, prepared or preserved, falling within CN codes 2004 90 50, 2005 40 00 and 2005 59 00, originating in Morocco, and
- 8 250 tonnes and 4 300 tonnes of apricot pulp falling within CN code ex 2008 50 91, originating in Morocco and Tunisia respectively,
- 15 000 tonnes of orange juice, falling within CN codes 2009 11 11;19 and 2009 19 11;19;91;99, originating in Morocco, of which not more than 4 500 tonnes may be imported in packings of a capacity of two litres or less, and
- 200 000 hectolitres and 50 000 hectolitres of certain wines of designated origin, in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 25, ex 2204 21 29, ex 2204 21 35 and ex 2204 21 39, originating respectively in Algeria and Tunisia;
Whereas, however, the Cooperation Agreement with the Republic of Tunisia provides that certain prepared and preserved sardines falling within CN code ex 1604 13 10 or ex 1604 20 50 originating in Tunisia may be imported into the Community free of duty; whereas the detailed arrangements must be fixed by an exchange of letters between the Community and Tunisia; whereas, since that exchange of letters has not yet taken place, the Community arrangements which applied in 1990 should be renewed until 31 December 1991; whereas a duty-free Community tariff quota of 100 tonnes should therefore be opened;
Whereas the wine in question is subject to compliance with the free-at-frontier reference price; whereas, in order that such wine may benefit from this tariff quota, Article 54
of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1325/90 (10), must be complied with;
¹
whereas the wine must be put up in containers holding two litres or less; whereas the wine must be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin in accordance with the model given in Annex D to the Agreement or, by way of derogation, by a document VI 1 or a VI 2 extract annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85 (1);
Whereas by virtue of the provisions of a common declaration of the Contracting Parties forming an integral part of the EEC/Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt Protocols the accounting of the quantities of fresh oranges in question must begin on 1 July each year; whereas to keep this arrangement it is fitting to open the quotas in question with the consequence that the quotas by applying the pro rata clause, must be fixed at respectively 44 166 tonnes, 4 666 tonnes and 3 500 tonnes; whereas furthermore, tariff dismantling for tomatoes and onions, fresh or chilled, shall enter into force respectively from 1 January to 30 April 1991 and from 1 May to 15 May 1991; whereas these Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened with the consequence that the quotas by applying the pro rata clause must be respectively fixed at 62 545 tonnes and 4 524 tonnes;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff quotas, customs duties are to be phased out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in Articles 75, 243 and 268 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas for wines, of designated origin, Spain and Portugal are to apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88 of 14 October 1988 laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade with Morocco (2) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia on the other (3); whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for 1991;
Whereas by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2573/90
of 5 September 1990 totally suspending certain customs
duties applicable by the Community of Ten to imports from Spain and Portugal (4) of the products listed in Annex II to the Treaty, the said duties shall be totally suspended when they reach a level of 2 % or less; whereas the same rates of duties should be applied to imports of these products originating in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhaused; whereas the necessary measures should be taken to provide for the effective Community management of the quotas, so that the Member States may draw against the quotas such quantities as they may need, corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
1. The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below originating in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia or Egypt shall be suspended at the levels, during the periods and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
>TABLE>
Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 and (EEC) No 3189/88.
2. Importations of the wine in question shall be subject to the free-at-frontier price. It shall qualify for the tariff quotas only if Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 is adhered to.
3. Each wine, when imported, shall be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin, issued by the relevant Algerian authority or, by way of derogation, by a document VI 1 or a VI 2 extract annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85, in accordance with the model annexed to this Regulation.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for products covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quotas, by means of notification to the Commission, quantities corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and continuous access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides for the payment of financial compensation to producers' organizations which intervene, on certain conditions, in respect of the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to that Regulation; whereas the amount of such financial compensation must be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 (3) specifies the ways in which the products withdrawn must be disposed of; whereas the value of such products must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average receipts which may be obtained from such disposal;
Whereas, on the basis of the relevant information on this value, it should be fixed for the 1996 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3902/92 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1338/95 (5), the body responsible for payment of the financial compensation is that of the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized; whereas the standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State;
Whereas the abovementioned provisions are equally applicable to the advance on the financial compensation provided for in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3902/92;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The standard values to be used in calculating the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto in respect of products withdrawn by producers' organizations and used for purposes other than human consumption shall be for the 1996 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto for each of the uses indicated therein.
The standard value to be deducted from the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31991R1476 | Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1476/91 of 31 May 1991 laying down special measures for the application of monetary compensatory amounts and accession compensatory amounts to certain trade in sugar beet and sugar between Portugal and Spain
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1476/91 of 31 May 1991 laying down special measures for the application of monetary compensatory amounts and accession compensatory amounts to certain trade in sugar beet and sugar between Portugal and Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 464/91 (2), and in particular Article 24 (8) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 469/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts in the sugar sector (5) and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (7), and in particular
Article 13
(1) thereof,
Whereas the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 24 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provide that, as a transitional measure, if an undertaking which is intended for sugar production, which is approved as such by Portugal and which is situated in its maintained region is not likely to start up sugar production, that Member State may allocate to it an A quota and a B quota during the 1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years;
Whereas for the application of this measure, where a sugar-producing undertaking which is situated in another Member State and to which production quotas have been allocated, processes sugar beet harvested in Portugal and purchased by the undertaking situated in Portugal, the sugar obtained as a result shall be considered as having been produced by the Portuguese undertaking in question;
Whereas in practice the Portuguese sugar beet will be processed into sugar in Spain and this sugar will, by necessity, have to be reintroduced into Portugal in order to be considered there as having been produced by the undertaking situated in the latter Member State; whereas this operation presupposes a traffic between Portugal and Spain which cannot be considered as taking place within the framework of commercial trade between Member States in view of the fact that the production of the sugar in question has to be attributed to the quotas of the Portuguese undertaking; whereas under these conditions it is justified that such operations should not be subject to the monetary compensatory amounts which are applicable between these Member States; whereas for these same reasons and owing to the fact that operations do not represent, in particular within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85, any risk of disturbance in the trade in agricultural products between these two Member States, they should similarly not be subject to the accession compensatory amounts which are applicable to the said trade; whereas to enable the two Member States concerned to supervise the operations in question, provision should be made for the use of the 'information sheet' provided for by Council Decision 77/415/EEC of 3 June 1977 accepting, on behalf of the Community, several annexes to the international convention on the simplification and harmonization of customs procedures (8); whereas it should be indicated on the 'information sheet' that monetary compensatory amounts and accession compensatory amounts do not apply to these operations in accordance with this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
During the marketing years 1991/92 and 1992/93 no monetary compensatory amounts shall be applied to sugars falling within CN codes 1701 99 10 and 1701 12 90 produced during those marketing years and in transit from Spain to Portugal within the framework of operations carried out by virtue of the transitional arrangements provided for in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 24 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
During the marketing years 1991/92 and 1992/93 no accession compensatory amounts shall be applied:
(a) to sugar beets falling within CN code 1212 91 10 harvested during these marketing years and in transit from Portugal to Spain,
and
(b) to sugars falling within CN codes 1701 99 10 and 1701 12 90 produced during these marketing years and in transit from Spain to Portugal, within the framework of operations carried out by virtue of the transitional arrangements provided for in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 24 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
1. The two Member States concerned shall take the measures necessary in order to guarantee that the operations are carried out under official control and that the quantities of sugar sent from Spain to Portugal correspond for each marketing year to the quantity of the transitional arrangements provided for in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 24 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
2. For the purpose of applying paragraph 1, the two Member States concerned shall utilize the 'information sheet' for facilitating the temporary export of goods sent from one country to another for processing, working or repair appearing in Appendix I to Annex E8 of Decision 77/415/EEC. Under heading C of this sheet 'non-application of monetary compensatory amounts and accession compensatory amounts in conformity with Regulation (EEC) No 1476/91 (OJ No L 138, 1. 6. 1991, p. 77) should be indicated. These words must appear on all the customs entries concerned.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(98/401/EC, ECSC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 54(2), the last sentence of Article 57(2), and Articles 66, 73c(2), 75, 84(2), 99, 100, 113 and 235, in conjunction with the second sentence of Article 228(2) and the second subparagraph of Article 228(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 101 thereof,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament (2),
Having consulted the ECSC Consultative Committee and with the assent of the Council,
Having regard to the approval of the Council given in accordance with Article 101 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Whereas conclusion of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other, signed on 28 June 1994 in Brussels, will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the European Communities;
Whereas the purpose of that Agreement is to strengthen the links established in particular by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on trade and commercial and economic cooperation, signed on 18 December 1989 and approved by Decision 90/116/EEC (3);
Whereas certain obligations, provided for by the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement outside the scope of Community trade policy, affect or are likely to affect the arrangements laid down by Community acts adopted in the areas of the right of establishment, transport and the treatment of enterprises;
Whereas the said Agreement imposes on the European Community certain obligations regarding capital movements and payments between the Community and the Republic of Moldova;
Whereas, in addition, insofar as the said Agreement affects Council Directive 90/434/EEC of 23 July 1990 on the common system of taxation applicable to mergers, divisions, transfers of assets and exchanges of shares concerning companies of different Member States (4), and Council Directive 90/435/EEC of 23 July 1990 on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different Member States (5), which are based on Article 100 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, that Article should be used as a legal basis;
Whereas certain provisions of the said Agreement impose on the Community obligations in the field of the provision of services which go beyond the crossborder framework;
Whereas for certain provisions of the said Agreement which are to be implemented by the Community, the Treaty establishing the European Community makes no provision for specific powers; whereas it is therefore necessary to resort to Article 235 of the Treaty,
The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part, together with the protocol, declarations and the exchange of letters, are hereby approved on behalf of the European Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community.
The texts are annexed to this Decision.
1. The position to be adopted by the Community in the Cooperation Council and the Cooperation Committee shall be determined by the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, or, where appropriate, by the Commission, in each case in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Treaties establishing the European Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 28 (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2) defines the Community control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry. It also provides for the designation of national avian influenza laboratories and a Community reference laboratory for avian influenza.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/237/EC of 15 March 2005 on financial aid from the Community for the operation of certain Community reference laboratories in the field of animal health and live animals in 2005 (3) granted Community financial aid to the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza designated in Directive 92/40/EEC.
(3) Recent developments in the animal health situation concerning avian influenza in the Community and third countries have lead to a substantial increase in the amount of work to be carried out by the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza in relation to that disease. The increase is mainly due to the characterisation of viruses submitted to the laboratory and the production and updating of the current panel of reagents and their distribution.
(4) In addition, the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza plays a key role in supporting the diagnostic units in the national reference avian influenza laboratories, including visits to those laboratories.
(5) The enlargement of the arsenal of available diagnostic, such as the validation of new molecular diagnostic techniques and methodology, issuing of standards and running the inter-laboratory tests that has been added to the functions and duties of the approved work programme for 2005 has incremented the activity carried out in the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza.
(6) The Commission has analysed the recent information provided by the Community reference laboratory for avian influenza on the expenditure required for 2005. Taking into account that information, the Community’s financial contribution to that laboratory needs to be adjusted and it is therefore appropriate to allocate additional funding for 2005.
(7) Decision 2005/237/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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 Article 3 of Decision 2005/237/EC, ‘EUR 135 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 285 000’.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3774/85
of 20 December 1985
concerning certain national aids in the agricultural sector which are incompatible with the common market but which the Portuguese Republic is authorized to maintain on a transitional basis
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 247 and 258 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 247 of the Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic is authorized to maintain, on a transitional and, in principle, degressive basis, national aids the abolition of which would not fail to have serious consequences both for producer and consumer prices; whereas a list and the exact wording of the national aids which fulfil these conditions appear in the Annex, together with their initial amounts;
Whereas, with respect to the rate of abolition and any scale of degressivity which should be fixed, it appears appropriate either that the initial amount should be considered as maximum rates for a first period and that, over a second period, these amounts should be reduced in equal annual instalments, to be phased out completely at the end of the transitional period, or that the initial amounts should be phased out in ten equal annual instalments;
Whereas, until 31 December 1990, national aid granted by the Portuguese Republic for products which, pursuant to Article 259 of the Act of Accession, are subject to a transition by stages, are subject to the special arrangements laid down in Article 265 (2) of that Act; whereas, pursuant to Article 286 thereof, Article 247 applies to these products only as from 1 January 1991;
Whereas the Portuguese Republic may abolish the aids which are the subject of these transitional measures at a more rapid rate than that set out in the Annex; whereas it is essential that, in this event, the Portuguese Republic should inform the Commission of action taken; whereas a procedure should be specified whereby other derogations may be made, should the need arise, from the degressivity scale, pursuant to Article 247 (3) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas steps should be taken to ensure that national aid for the consumption of olive oil does not create distortions as between products of different qualities, that it does not provide a benefit, in addition to the export refund, for any quantities exported and that it is only granted after the date on which a similar Community aid becomes applicable, up to the difference between the latter aid and the maximum amount fixed for the national aid;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 247 (2) of the Act of Accession, equal access to the Portuguese market must be ensured;whereas this Regulation should therefore be without prejudice to the adoption at a later date, should the need arise, of specific procedures designed to ensure equality of access on the Portuguese market for products imported from other Member States if the grant of one or more of the aids referred to in this Regulation entails an actual modification on the Portuguese market of the conditions of competition between imported and domestic products;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Treaty of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the institutions of the Community may adopt before accession the measures referred to in Article 258 of the Act of Accession, these measures entering into force only subject to, and on the date of, the entry into force of that Treaty,
The national aids which are incompatible with the common market and which the Portuguese Republic is authorized to maintain on a transitional basis are listed in the Annex, with an indication of their rate of abolition.
The Portuguese Republic may abolish the aids referred to in Article 1 at a more rapid rate than that set out in the Annex. It shall inform the Commission without delay of any action it has taken.
The grant of aid for the consumption of olive oil shall be subject to the following further conditions:
(a) it shall be granted, without distinction on grounds of quality, for all olive oil receiving Community aid for the consumption of olive oil within the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
(b) the Portuguese Republic shall take whatever action is necessary to ensure that the aid does not benefit quantities exported to another Member State or to third countries;
(c) from 1 January 1991, the maximum amount of aid shall be reduced by the amount of Community aid for the consumption of olive oil applied in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 293 (1) of the Act of Accession. The national aid shall be abolished if theCommunity aid is equal to or greater than the maximum amount fixed for national aid.
The Portuguese Republic shall inform the Commission of any action taken to ensure that these conditions are met.
Where the grant of one or more of the aids listed in the Annex entails an actual modification on the Portuguese market of the conditions of competition between domestic products and products imported from the other Member States, the Council shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 234 (2) of the Act of Accession, adopt the specific procedures required to ensure equality of access on the Portuguese market.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation together with the possible derogations referred to in Article 247 (3) of the Act of Accession shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation (EEC) N° 136/66/EEC of the Council of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1) or, as the case may be, in the corresponding Article of the other Regulations on the common organization of agricultural markets.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/135/EC
of 11 December 2006
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include carbendazim as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2), establishes 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 carbendazim.
(2) For carbendazim the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. By Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the Rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (3), Germany was designated as Rapporteur Member State. Germany submitted the relevant assessment report and recommendations to the Commission on 10 February 1998 in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(3) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(4) The review of carbendazim revealed a number of open questions which were addressed by the Scientific Committee on Plants. The Scientific Committee was asked to comment on the advisability of establishing an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and Acceptable Operator Exposure Level (AOEL) having regard particularly to the results of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive studies for benomyl, carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl. The Committee (4) noted that carbendazim is the biologically active substance common to these three substances. Benomyl in particular, but also thiophanate-methyl, is metabolised to carbendazim and all three substances produce numerical chromosomal aberrations (aneuploidy) in mammalian cells, exposed in vivo. There is no evidence that any other form of damage to genetic material is induced by any of these substances. Carcinogenicity is not a concern. The known effects of these fungicides upon reproduction are explicable by interaction with the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. The mechanism of aneuploidy induction is well understood and consists of inhibition of polymerisation of tubulin, the protein that is essential for the segregation of chromosomes during cell division: it does not involve any interaction with DNA. Since multiple copies of tubulin molecules are present in proliferating cells, in the presence of low concentration of the fungicides a limited number of tubulin molecules will be affected and consequently no toxicologically adverse effects will ensue. Consequently, a clear no adverse effect level is recognisable and both an ADI and an AOEL can be established.
(5) Articles 5(4) and 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provide that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to restrictions and conditions. In this case, restrictions on the inclusion period and on the authorised crops are deemed necessary. The original measures presented to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, proposed the restriction of the inclusion period to seven years, so that Member States would give priority to reviewing plant protection products already on the market containing carbendazim. In order to avoid discrepancies in the high level of protection sought, the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC was intended to be limited to the uses of carbendazim that have been actually assessed within the Community evaluation and for which the proposed uses were considered to comply with the conditions of Directive 91/414/EEC. This implies that other uses, which were not or only partially covered by this assessment, had first to be subject to a complete assessment, before their inclusion in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC could be considered. Finally, due to the hazardous nature of carbendazim, it was considered necessary to provide for a minimum harmonisation at Community level of certain risk mitigation measures that were to be applied by Member States when granting authorisations.
(6) Under the procedures laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, the approval of active substances, including the definition of risk management measures, is decided by the Commission. Member States bear the responsibility for the implementation, application and control of the measures intended to mitigate the risks generated by plant protection products. Concerns expressed by several Member States reflect their judgment that additional restrictions are necessary to reduce the risk to a level that can be considered acceptable and consistent with the high level of protection that is sought within the Community. At present, it is a question of risk management to set the adequate level of safety and protection for the continued production, commercialisation and use of carbendazim.
(7) As a consequence of the above, the Commission re-examined its position. In order to correctly reflect the high level of protection of human and animal health and a sustainable environment sought in the Community, it considered appropriate, in addition to the principles set out in Recital 5, to further reduce the period of inclusion to three instead of seven years. This further reduces any risk by ensuring a priority re-assessment of this substance.
(8) It may be expected that plant protection products containing carbendazim satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report and providing that the necessary risk mitigation measures are applied.
(9) Without prejudice to the conclusion that plant protection products containing carbendazim may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Member States should require authorisation holders to provide information on the use of carbendazim including any information on incidences on operator health.
(10) As with all substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the status of carbendazim could be reviewed under Article 5(5) of that Directive in the light of any new data becoming available. Equally, the fact that the inclusion of this substance in Annex I expires on a particular date does not prevent the inclusion being renewed according to the procedures laid down in the Directive.
(11) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(13) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing carbendazim to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations. in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. Given the hazardous properties of carbendazim, the period for Member States to verify whether the plant protection products, which contain carbendazim as the only active substances or in combination with other authorised active substances, comply with the provisions of Annex VI should not exceed three years.
(14) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(15) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. 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 implementing act nor indicated its opposition to the proposal for implementing measures and it is accordingly for the Commission to adopt these measures,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2007 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2007.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing carbendazim as an active substance by 30 June 2007. By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to carbendazim are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13.

of 29 August 2007
amending Regulations (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 2090/2002 as regards controls in the framework of export refunds on agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 18 thereof, and the corresponding provisions of the other regulations on the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 of 12 February 1990 on the monitoring carried out at the time of export of agricultural products receiving refunds or other amounts (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3) requires in particular that certain documentary proof be presented to show that the products for which export refunds are claimed have in fact been imported in their unaltered state into a specific third country, when a differentiated refund applies for that third country. The procedures concerning such proof should be simplified whilst safeguarding the financial interests of the Community. The Commission and the Member States should monitor the use of simplified procedures and take appropriate action in the case of abuse.
(2) In practice, the third countries for which export refunds for a given product are differentiated to lower than average or zero values are generally situated close to the Community whilst refund levels tend to be set at a higher, identical level for countries which are more remote from the Community. In many cases, exporters have problems obtaining proof of importation into these more remote countries.
(3) The countries for which the higher, identical levels of refund have been set may be considered as a ‘remote refund zone’ for the product concerned. However, remote countries for which the differentiated part of the refund is lower than average or zero should be excluded from such zone. Also those countries in respect of which a real risk of trade deflection exists, or all countries for sectors in respect of which a real risk of trade deflection exists should be excluded from such zone.
(4) Where an export declaration is made for a country in a remote refund zone and export is made by container sea transport, the combination of commercial container management, transport documentation and the relatively inflexible transport modality gives a reasonable level of assurance that the products have been imported into the specific third country. Under these circumstances, proof that the products have been transported to and unloaded in a country in the remote refund zone could be provided by the combination of a transport document to the port in the country of destination or the port serving the hinterland of destination, and a declaration of unloading.
(5) If a container carrier’s commercial, computerised tracking and tracing system meets the operational security norms as set out in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (4), and provides information equivalent to that contained in transport documents, Member States may decide to use such information instead of the paper documents, as proof of transport to the country of destination.
(6) Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 provides for derogations limited to EUR 2 400 and 12 000 on differentiated parts of the refund for contiguous or remote destinations. It is considered useful to provide for a new derogation for containerised sea transport to remote refund zones by requiring the transport document and one of the declarations of unloading referred to in point (a), (b) or (c) of Article 16(2). Such derogation may be granted only if information is provided on the unloading in the port situated in the remote refund zone. In order to ensure the reliability of the proof generated under such derogations, they should be granted under revocable authorisations.
(7) In order to reduce the risk of substitution, all means of transport or packages should be sealed save in exceptional cases where the products may be identified by some other means in accordance with Article 340a and Article 357 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (5). This requirement has been laid down in Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 of 26 November 2002 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 as regards physical checks carried out when agricultural products qualifying for refunds are exported (6). As that requirement is part of the formalities concerning the export declaration and of general character, it should be deleted from Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 and a similar provision should be included in Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.
(8) The customs office of exit needs information in the T5 control copy as to whether products presented to it qualify for a substitution check required in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002. As T5 control copies may also be used for products not qualifying for substitution checks, box 107 of the T5 control copy should bear information in case products are exported with a right to refunds.
(9) Regulations (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 2090/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The provisions of this Regulation related to proof of arrival at destination should apply in respect of refund applications submitted from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Since this Regulation is intended to simplify the administration of the scheme for operators and Member States alike, it should also be possible, at the request of the exporter, to apply it in respect of refund applications submitted before that date, provided that the time limit for submission of proof has not expired.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2(1), the following point is added:
‘(p) “remote refund zone” means all destinations for which the same differentiated, non-zero part of the refund applies for a particular product except the excluded destinations for that product as set out in Annex XI;
(q) “hinterland country” means a third country without its own sea port which is served by the sea port of another third country.’
2. in Article 5, the following paragraph is added:
3. in Article 8, the following paragraph is added:
4. in Article 15, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

(b) be unloaded in their unaltered state in a remote refund zone for which the refund applies pursuant to the conditions set out in Article 17(1)(b) and (2).
5. Article 16 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) the customs document, a copy or photocopy thereof, or a printout of equivalent information recorded electronically by the competent customs authority; such copy, photocopy or printout shall be certified as being a true copy or printout by one of the following:
(i) the body which endorsed the original document or electronically recorded the equivalent information;
(ii) an official agency of the third country concerned;
(iii) an official agency of a Member State in the third country concerned;
(iv) an agency responsible for paying the refund;
(b) a certificate of unloading and importation drawn up by an approved international control and supervisory agency (hereinafter referred to as “SA”) in accordance with the rules set out in Annex VI, Chapter III, using the model set out in Annex VII; the date and number of the customs document of import must appear on the certificate concerned.
(b) Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
6. Article 17 is replaced by the following:
(a) the differentiated part of the refund is no more than:
(i) EUR 2 400 where the third country or territory of destination is listed in Annex IV;
(ii) EUR 12 000 where the third country or territory of destination is not listed in Annex IV; or
(b) the port of destination is located in the remote refund zone for the product concerned.
(a) the products are transported in containers and transport of the containers to the port of unloading is done by sea;
(b) the transport document mentions as destination the country mentioned in the export declaration or a port normally used for unloading products destined for a hinterland country which is the country of destination mentioned in the export declaration;
(c) the proof of unloading is provided pursuant to point (a), (b) or (c) of Article 16(2).
7. the title of Annex IV is replaced by the following:
8. the text in the Annex to this Regulation is added as Annexes XI and XII.
Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
At the request of the exporter, points 1, 4, 5 and 6 of Article 1 may apply in respect of refund applications submitted before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, provided that the time limit set out in paragraph 2 or, as the case may be, 4 of Article 49 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 has not expired.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2003/806(2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the case of products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.
(2) MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported by the necessary data.
(3) In the case of chlormequat, Member States and stakeholders informed the Commission that contamination of pears due to the background levels of chlormequat in the environment originating from earlier use continues to be significant. Monitoring data show that the decline of the residues is so slow that the temporary MRL provided for in Directive 90/642/EEC needs to remain in place for three more years.
(4) In the case of lambda-cyhalothrin, kresoxim-methyl, azoxystrobin and mancozeb applications for new or changed uses were submitted to the Rapporteur Member States. Those uses were evaluated and it was concluded that they would not result in unacceptable consumer exposure.
(5) For mancozeb it is not possible with the current method of routine analysis to distinguish it from other dithiocarbamates (maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb and zineb (sum expressed as CS2)), therefore the residue definition covers the whole group of dithiocarbamates.
(6) The Commission concluded that it is prudent to modify some of the MRLs in view of the possible risks to consumers. It is important that additional risk management measures should be taken by the Member States to adequately protect the consumer.
(7) The lifetime and short term exposure of consumers to the pesticides referred to in this Directive via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(3). It is calculated that the MRLs fixed in this Directive will not lead to unacceptable consumer exposure.
(8) Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to those pesticides via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the MRLs proposed in this Directive will not cause acute toxic effects.
(9) Through the World Trade Organisation, the Community's trading partners have been consulted about the MRLs proposed in this Directive and their comments on these levels have been taken into account.
(10) The opinions of the Scientific Committee for Plants have been taken into account, in particular its advice and recommendations concerning the methodology to be followed for the protection of consumers of agricultural products treated with pesticides.
(11) The Annex to Directive 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC is amended as follows:
1. in the entry for kresoxim-methyl on strawberries "0,2 (p) mg/kg" is replaced by "1 (p) mg/kg";
2. in the entry for the dithiocarbamates: "Maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb and zineb (sum expressed as CS2)" on radishes "0,2 mg/kg" is replaced by "2 mg/kg", on spring onions "0,05* mg/kg" is replaced by "1 mg/kg";
3. in the entry for chlormequat on pears the footnote (t) is replaced by the following:
"(t) A temporary MRL of 0,3 mg/kg shall apply until 31 July 2006.";
4. the entries for azoxystrobin and lambda-cyhalothrin are replaced by the entries in Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 July 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 August 2003.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (2) established the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals;
Whereas, in view of the genetic improvements resulting from cattle breeding, the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals should be adjusted so as to take account of the existence of animals of the double-muscled type; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for the optional introduction of a conformation class above the existing ones,

'Article 3
1. The carcases of adult bovine animals shall be divided into the following categories:
A. carcases of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years of age;
B. carcases of other uncastrated male animals;
C. carcases of castrated male animals;
D. carcases of female animals that have calved;
E. carcases of other female animals.
Without prejudice to the intervention rules applying, the letters A, B, C, D and E shall be used to identify carcases as from 1 January 1992.
Criteria shall be laid down for differentiating between categories of carcases in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68.
2. The carcases of adult bovine animals shall be classified by successive assessment of:
(a) conformation;
(b) fat cover,
as defined in Annexes I and II respectively.
The conformation class designated in Annex I by the letter S may be used by Member States to take account, through the optional introduction of a conformation class superior to the existing classes (double-muscled carcases), of the characteristics or expected development of a particular form of production.
Member States which intend to make use of this possibility shall notify the Commission and the other Member States accordingly.
3. Member States shall be authorized to subdivide each of the classes provided for in Annexes I and II into a maximum of three sub-classes.';

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 177/2005
of 24 January 2005
concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2005-2006)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ‘the Fund’) was established in 1986 by the Agreement of 18 September 1986 between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) in order to promote economic and social advance, and to encourage contact, dialogue and reconciliation between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland, in implementation of one of the objectives specified by the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 15 November 1985.
(2) The Community has provided financial contributions to the Fund from 1989. For the period 2003 to 2004 EUR 15 million was committed from the Community budget for each of the years 2003 and 2004 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/2002 of 10 December 2002 concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2003–2004) (2). That Regulation expired on 31 December 2004.
(3) The assessments carried out in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2236/2002 have confirmed the need for further support for Fund activities, while continuing reinforcing synergy of objectives and coordination with Structural Funds interventions, in particular with the Special Programme for Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland (hereinafter ‘the PEACE Programme’) set up in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (3).
(4) The peace process in Northern Ireland requires a continuation of Community support to the Fund beyond 31 December 2004.
(5) At its meeting in Brussels on 17 and 18 June 2004, the European Council called on the Commission to examine the possibility of aligning interventions under the PEACE Programme and the International Fund for Ireland with those of the other programmes under the Structural Funds that come to an end in 2006, including the implications in financial terms.
(6) The Community contribution to the Fund should take the form of financial contributions for the years 2005 and 2006, thus terminating at the same time as an extended PEACE programme.
(7) In allocating the Community contribution, the Fund should give priority to projects of a cross-border or cross-community nature, in such a way as to complement the activities funded by the PEACE Programme.
(8) In accordance with the Agreement, all financial contributors to the Fund participate as observers at the meetings of the Board of the International Fund for Ireland.
(9) The Commission should foster coordination at all levels between the Fund’s Board and agents, and the managing bodies set up under the Structural Funds interventions concerned, in particular under the PEACE programme.
(10) Assistance from the Fund should be regarded as effective only in so far as it brings about sustainable economic and social improvement and is not used as a substitute for other public or private expenditure.
(11) An assessment reviewing the performance of the Fund and the need for further Community support should be carried out before 1 April 2006.
(12) A financial reference amount, within the meaning of Point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (4) is included in this Regulation for the entire duration of the programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty.
(13) The amount of the Community contribution to the Fund should be EUR 15 million for each of the years 2005 and 2006, expressed in current values.
(14) That support will contribute to reinforcing solidarity between the Member States and between their peoples.
(15) The Treaty provides for no powers other than those in Article 308 thereof for the adoption of this Regulation,
The financial reference amount for the implementation of the Community contribution to the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ‘the Fund’) for the period 2005-2006 shall be EUR 30 million.
The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective.
The contribution shall be used by the Fund in accordance with the Agreement of 18 September 1986 between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’).
In allocating the contribution the Fund shall give priority to projects of a cross-border or cross-community nature, in such a way as to complement the activities financed by the Structural Funds, and especially those of the Special Programme for Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland (hereinafter ‘the PEACE Programme’) set up in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
The contribution shall be used in such a way as to bring about sustainable economic and social improvement in the areas concerned. It shall not be used as a substitute for other public and private expenditure.
The Commission shall represent the Community as an observer at the meetings of ‘the Board’ of the Fund (hereinafter ‘the Board’).
The Fund shall be represented as an observer at the Monitoring Committee meetings of the PEACE Programme, and of other Structural Funds interventions as appropriate.
The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Fund’s Board, determine appropriate publicity and information procedures in order to publicise the Community’s contribution to the projects financed by the Fund.
By 31 March 2006, the Commission shall submit a report to the Budgetary Authority, assessing the results of the activities of the Fund and the need for continuing contributions beyond 2006, taking into account developments in the peace process in Northern Ireland. That report shall incorporate, inter alia, the following:
(a) a survey of the Fund's activities;
(b) a list of projects which have received aid;
(c) an assessment of the nature and impact of the Fund’s activities, notably in relation to its objectives and the criteria laid down in Articles 2 and 7;
(d) an assessment of action taken by the Fund to ensure cooperation and coordination with Structural Funds interventions, taking account, in particular, of obligations under Articles 3 and 4;
(e) an annex setting out the results of the verifications and controls carried out by the Commission pursuant to the undertaking referred to in Article 6.
1. The Commission shall administer the contributions.
Subject to paragraph 2, the annual contribution shall be paid in instalments as follows:
(a) a first advance payment of 40 % shall be made after the Commission has received an undertaking, signed by the Chairman of the Fund’s Board, to the effect that the Fund will comply with the conditions for the grant of the contribution set out in this Regulation;
(b) a second advance payment of 40 % shall be made six months later;
(c) a final payment of 20 % shall be made after the Commission has received and accepted the Fund’s annual activity report and audited accounts for the year in question.
2. Before paying out an instalment the Commission shall carry out an assessment of the Fund’s financial needs on the basis of the Fund’s cash balance at the time scheduled for each payment. If, following that assessment, the Fund’s financial needs do not justify payment of one of those instalments, the payment concerned shall be suspended. The Commission shall review that decision on the basis of new information provided by the Fund and shall continue payments as soon as they are considered justified.
A contribution from the Fund may be allocated to an operation which receives or is due to receive financial assistance under a Structural Funds intervention, only if the sum of that financial assistance, plus 40 % of the contribution from the Fund, does not exceed 75 % of the operation’s total eligible costs.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2005.
It shall expire on 31 December 2006.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 29 April 2014
establishing the Work Programme for the Union Customs Code
(2014/255/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 281 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 280 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Code’) provides that the Commission is to draw up a work programme relating the development and deployment of the electronic systems. The work programme is in particular important for the establishment of the transitional measures related to the electronic systems and the timing for the cases where systems are not yet operational by the date of application of the Code, i.e. 1 May 2016.
(2) The Code provides that all exchange of information between customs authorities and between economic operators and customs authorities and storage of such information is to be made using electronic data processing techniques and that information and communication systems are to offer the same facilities to economic operators in all Member States. The work programme should therefore set out an extensive plan for the implementation of electronic systems in order to ensure the correct application of the Code.
(3) Accordingly, the work programme should contain a list of the electronic systems which should be developed by the Member States and the Commission, in close cooperation, in order for the Code to become applicable in practice. That list is based on the existing planning document related to all IT related customs projects, called the multi-annual strategic plan (‘MASP’), which is drawn up in accordance with Decision No 70/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and in particular Article 4 and Article 8(2) thereof. The electronic systems referred to in the work programme should be subject to the same project management approach and prepared and developed as established in the MASP.
(4) The work programme should define and describe the electronic systems as well as the related legal basis, the key milestones and the envisaged dates for starting operations. These dates should be referred to as ‘target start dates of deployment’. The date of deployment of the electronic systems should constitute the target end date of the transitional period.
(5) The electronic systems referred to in the work programme should be selected in view of their expected impact in terms of the priorities defined in the Code. One of the main priorities in this regard is to be able to offer economic operators a wide range of electronic customs services throughout the customs territory of the Union. Furthermore, the electronic systems should aim at enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness and harmonisation of customs processes across the Union. The order of and the timetable for the deployment of the systems included in the work programme should be based on practical and project management considerations such as the spreading of efforts and resources, the interconnection between the projects, the specific prerequisites of each system and the project maturity. As such, the work programme aims to plan and manage the development of the electronic systems in a proper and staged manner.
(6) As the electronic systems referred to in Article 16(1) of the Code are to be developed, deployed and maintained by the Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, the Commission and the Member States should work together to ensure that the preparation and implementation of the electronic systems are managed in line with the work programme and that appropriate measures are taken to plan, design, develop and deploy the systems identified in a coordinated and timely manner.
(7) In order to ensure synchronicity between the work programme and the MASP the work programme should be updated at the same time as the MASP.
(8) The measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Subject matter
This Decision lays down the work programme as provided for in Article 280(1) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (‘the Code’).
The work programme is annexed to this Decision.
Implementation
1. The Commission and the Member States shall take the necessary actions to cooperate and implement the work programme.
2. The projects specified in the work programme and the preparation and implementation of the related electronic systems shall be managed in a manner consistent with the work programme.
3. The Commission shall undertake to search for a common understanding and agreement with the Member States on the project scope, design, requirements and architecture of the electronic systems in order to initiate the projects of the work programme. Where relevant, the Commission shall also consult and take the views of the economic operators into account.
Updates
1. The work programme shall be subject to regular updates in order to ensure alignment and adjustments with the latest developments in the implementation of the Code and to take into account the actual progress made in the preparation and development of the electronic systems, and in particular as regards the availability of commonly agreed specifications and the realisation of the entering into operation of the electronic systems.
2. In order to ensure synchronicity between the work programme and the multi-annual strategic plan (‘MASP’) the work programme shall be updated at least every year.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(c) before 1 June of the following marketing year, of the total quantities delivered for the processing period referred to in Article 2(2) and of the corresponding total quantities processed.
1. Before 1 July of the current marketing year, table-olive growers shall lodge aid applications, directly or indirectly, with the competent body, containing at least the following details:
- the name and address of the grower,
- a reference to the relevant crop declaration,
- the approved undertaking to which the olives were delivered.
Such applications shall be accompanied by certificates of delivery as referred to in Article 6(1).
Where applicable, applications may be accompanied by an application for an advance on the aid.
2. Applications lodged after the deadline shall incur a penalty consisting of a reduction of 1 % of the amount to which the grower would have been entitled had the application been lodged by the due date, for each working day of delay. Applications lodged more than 25 days late shall be refused.
1. Before the definitive payment of the aid, the competent body shall carry out the controls required to check:
- the quantities of table olives covered by certificates of delivery,
- the quantities of table olives processed, broken down by grower.
Controls shall involve:
- several physical inspections of goods in stock and a check of the accounts of approved undertakings,
- stricter checks of aid applications from olive growers applying for aid for both table olives and olive oil.
2. Italy shall see that all the necessary controls are in place to ensure that:
- entitlement to table-olive production aid is respected,
- olives entering an undertaking approved under this Decision are excluded from eligibility for olive-oil production aid,
- no more than one aid application is lodged for the same olives.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down by Italy, no aid shall be granted to growers as referred to in Article 2(1) whose declarations as provided for in Article 5 or whose aid applications in accordance with Article 7 prove to conflict with the results of checks. However, Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
1. Growers as referred to in Article 2(1) may receive an advance on the aid requested. The advance shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting advances to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a provisional processing coefficient to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be established by the competent body on the basis of the data available on the approved undertaking concerned. However, the quantity of table olives taken into consideration may not exceed 90 % of the quantity of table olives delivered.
2. Advances on the aid shall be paid from 16 October of the current marketing year to growers applying therefor in accordance with Article 7(1).

1. Without prejudice to the reductions provided for in Article 20d of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting the aid to growers as referred to in Article 2(1), the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a processing coefficient for the undertaking concerned to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the other information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be equal to the ratio between the total quantity of table olives processed on the one hand, and the total quantity of table olives covered by certificates of delivery on the other hand, in respect of the olive oil marketing year concerned.
Where the quantity of processed olives corresponding to the quantity set out in the certificate of delivery cannot be established, the quantities of table olives processed for the growers concerned shall be calculated using the average coefficient for the other undertakings. However, without prejudice to any claims which the olive growers concerned might make against the undertaking, that quantity of processed olives may not exceed 75 % of the quantity shown in the certificate of delivery.
2. Once the controls referred to in Article 8 have been carried out, the aid or, where applicable, the balance of the aid shall be paid to the grower in full within 90 days of the Commission fixing the unit amount thereof.
1
Italy shall notify the Commission:
- without delay, of the national measures taken pursuant to this Decision,
- before 1 August of each marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the estimated output of table olives processed and of the provisional processing coefficients for that estimate,
- before 16 June of each subsequent marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the actual output of table olives processed and of the processing coefficients adopted.

This Decision shall apply from 1 September 2001.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 584/2003
of 31 March 2003
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) 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.
(5) 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.
(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(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 appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in Germany in 2002. The emergence of this disease presented a serious risk for the Community's livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2003/745/EC of 13 October 2003 concerning a Community financial contribution towards the eradication of classical swine fever in Germany in 2002 (2) granted a financial contribution from the Community to Germany towards the expenditure incurred under the emergency measures to combat classical swine fever implemented in 2002.
(4) In accordance with that Decision, a first instalment of EUR 460 000 was granted.
(5) Pursuant to that Decision, the balance of the Community contribution is to be based on the application submitted by Germany on 19 November 2003, documents setting out the figures quoted in the application, and the results of the in situ checks carried out by the Commission. The amount set out in the application submitted by Germany for the 2002 expenses was EUR 1 933 695,76, for which the Community financial contribution may not be higher than 50 % of the eligible expenditure.
(6) In view of the above considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of classical swine fever in Germany in 2002 should now be fixed.
(7) The results of the checks carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial support mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible.
(8) The Commission’s observations and method of calculating the eligible expenditure were communicated by letter to Germany.
(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 total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating classical swine fever in Germany in 2002 pursuant to Decision 2003/745/EC is fixed at EUR 925 808,47.
Since a first instalment of EUR 460 000 has already been granted in accordance with Decision 2003/745/EC, the balance of the Community financial contribution is fixed at EUR 465 808,47.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 2314/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (8), 14 (5) and 14a (7) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 341/96 (4), sets implementing rules for export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables;
Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that, to the extent necessary to permit exports in economically significant quantities of the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) of that Regulation, on the basis of prices for those products in international trade, the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds; whereas Article 14a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides that, if the refund on sugar incorporated into the products listed in Article 1 (1) is insufficient to allow export of the products, the refund fixed in accordance with Article 14 is to be applicable to those products;
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that refunds must be fixed with regard to the existing situation and outlook for prices for products processed from fruit and vegetables on the Community market and supply availability, on the one hand, and prices in international trade on the other hand; whereas account must also be taken of the costs indicated at (b) in that paragraph and of the economic aspect of the envisaged exports;
Whereas refunds are, pursuant to Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;
Whereas Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 states that prices on the Community market are to be determined taking account of those most favourable from the exportation standpoint; whereas international trade prices are to be determined account taken of the prices indicated in the second subparagraph of that paragraph;
Whereas the international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on a given product depending on the destination of that product;
Whereas economically significant exports can be made at the present time of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and orange juice;
Whereas the representative market rates as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (6), are used to convert amounts in third-country currencies and are the basis for determining the agricultural conversion rates of the Member States' currencies; whereas rules for determining and applying these conversion rates were set by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1482/96 (8);
Whereas application of the rules mentioned above to the present and forecast market situation, in particular to prices of products processed from fruit and vegetables in the Community and in international trade, leads to the refund rates set in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the most efficient possible use should be made of the resources available without creating discrimination between traders; whereas, therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The export refund rates and quantities eligible for refunds in the processed fruit and vegetables sector for licences with advance fixing of the refund issued between 1 November 1996 and 28 February 1997 shall be those fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities for which licences are issued in the context of food aid, as referred to in Article 14a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (9), shall not count against the eligible quantities referred to in the first paragraph.

of 6 February 2004
establishing the quantities to be allocated to importers from the second tranche of the 2004 Community quantitative quotas on certain products originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003 of 20 November 2003 establishing administration procedures for the second tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003 established the portion of each of the quotas concerned reserved for traditional and other importers and the conditions and methods for participating in the allocation of the quantities available. Importers have lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 22 November 2003 and 15.00, Brussels time, on 31 December 2003, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003.
(2) The Commission has received from the Member States and the acceding States, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003, particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1998 or 1999 (Member States) and in 2001 or 2002 (acceding States), the reference years.
(3) The Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States and the acceding States for the second tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas.
(4) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States and the acceding States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds or is lower than the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction or increase shown in Annex I to the volume of each importer's imports, expressed in quantity or value terms, over the reference period.
(5) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States and the acceding States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003.
(6) Quantities not taken up by non-traditional importers were transferred to traditional importers,
In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex I duly submitted by traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to his imports for 1998 or 1999 (Member States) and for 2001 or 2002 (acceding States), as indicated by the importer, adjusted by the rate of reduction/increase specified in the said Annex for each quota.
Where the use of this quantitative criterion would entail allocating an quantity greater than that applied for, the quantity allocated shall be limited to that specified in the application.
In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex II duly submitted by non-traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to the amount requested within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003, adjusted by the rate of reduction specified in the said Annex for each quota.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) Submission of applications for import licences concerning order number 09.4380 were suspended as from 20 April 2011 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 393/2011 of 19 April 2011 fixing the allocation coefficient for the issuing of import licences applied for from 1 to 7 April 2011 for sugar products under certain tariff quotas and suspending submission of applications for such licences (4), in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 891/2009.
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 589/2011 of 20 June 2011 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011 opening an exceptional import tariff quota for certain quantities of sugar in the 2010/11 marketing year (5), increased by 200 000 tonnes the quantities for which import duties for sugar falling within CN 1701 and with order number 09.4380 shall be suspended until 30 September 2011.
(4) The suspension of applications should therefore be withdrawn.
(5) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2004/166/EC of 9 July 2003 (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
1.1. Procedural overview
(1) On 9 July 2003, the Commission adopted Decision 2004/166/EC on aid which France intends to grant for the restructuring of Société Nationale Maritime Corse-Méditerranée (SNCM) (hereinafter final decision), in which it declared part of the aid notified to be compatible with the single market provided that certain conditions were met. One of these conditions, which is stated in Article 2 of the final decision, is that until 31 December 2006 SNCM was to refrain from acquiring new ships and signing contracts for building, ordering or chartering new or renovated ships. SNCM could only operate the 11 ships which it already possessed at the date of the final decision, namely: the Napoléon Bonaparte, Danielle Casanova, Île de Beauté, Corse, Liamone, Aliso, Méditerranée, Pascal Paoli, Paglia Orba, Monte Cinto and Monte d'Oro. The last paragraph of this Article reads: ‘If for reasons beyond its control SNCM has to replace one of its ships before 31 December 2006, the Commission may authorise such a replacement on the basis of a duly reasoned notice served by France’.
(2) In a letter dated 23 June 2004 (2), the French authorities requested permission from the Commission to replace the vessel Aliso with the Asco in the list of ships included in Article 2 of the final decision. Also, due to the difficulties encountered by SNCM in selling the Asco, the French authorities requested permission from the Commission to sell either the Aliso or the Asco, contrary to the provision made in the restructuring plan (3).
1.2. Name of the measure
(3) The name of the measure is ‘Amendments to the Commission’s final decision of 9 July 2003 on aid for the restructuring of SNCM’.
1.3. Beneficiary of the measure
(4) The beneficiary of the aid for restructuring is SNCM, a shipping company operating services to Corsica and northern Africa from the French mainland. The beneficiary of the proposed amendments would therefore be SNCM.
1.4. Objectives of the amendments
(5) The main objective of the proposed amendments is to allow SNCM to use the Aliso rather than the Asco by amending the list of ships it is authorised to use under Article 2 of the final decision, and to facilitate the sale of the fourth ship provided for in the final decision by allowing potential purchasers to choose between the Aliso and the Asco, which are identical vessels.
2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED MEASURES
2.1. The proposal to replace the Aliso with the Asco
(6) In their letter of 23 June 2004, the French authorities proposed replacing the Aliso with the Asco in the list of ships that SNCM is authorised to use throughout the restructuring period. This list is explicitly included in the second paragraph of Article 2 of the final decision of 9 July 2003. The high-speed vessel Asco had not yet been sold at the date of the French authorities’ request.
(7) The reason for the proposed change is that given SNCM’s difficulties in disposing of the Asco, the French authorities wish to make it possible for the company to dispose of either of the two ships.
(8) The French authorities have also forwarded a certificate from the Marseilles port authorities testifying that the Aliso has been berthed since 2 November 2003.
2.2. Proposal to allow SNCM to sell either the Asco or the Aliso
(9) The French authorities have also requested permission for SNCM to sell either the Asco or the Aliso under the restructuring plan, depending on the requirements of the potential buyers.
3. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
3.1. Impact of the proposal to replace the Aliso with the Asco
(10) The Commission notes that the Asco and the Aliso are ‘sister ships’, i.e. twin vessels built using the same plans and by the same shipyard. They have exactly the same size, shape and capacity.
(11) The Commission considers that replacing one ship with the other is not intended to increase SNCM’s capacity and would therefore not affect the scope of the final decision, in particular with regard to the condition limiting the company’s capacity as contained in Article 2 of that decision.
(12) The Commission also notes that the composition of SNCM’s authorised fleet may only be modified for reasons beyond SNCM’s control. In the case at hand, the Commission considers that the problems encountered by SNCM in selling the Asco are beyond the company’s control and were not foreseeable at the time the final decision was adopted.
3.2. Impact of the proposal to allow SNCM to sell either the Asco or the Aliso
(13) The Commission considers that if SNCM were to find a buyer for the Aliso instead of the Asco, the sale of the Aliso would have the same effect on the Company’s capacity as the sale of the Asco. It also considers that the French authorities would be in compliance with the restructuring plan in respect of the undertaking to sell the four vessels composing SNCM’s operational fleet, since the Company has already sold three of the four ships whose disposal was envisaged in the restructuring plan.
(14) If SNCM sells the Aliso instead of the Asco, the Commission considers that the condition regarding the disposal of the four ships as provided for in the restructuring plan will be deemed to have been fulfilled.
4. CONCLUSIONS
(15) To conclude, the Commission considers that the amendments requested by the French authorities do not alter the scope of the provisions in the final decision and that aid to restructuring in the form of recapitalisation, subject to strict compliance with the conditions thus modified, is compatible with the single market.
(16) The Commission invites France:
— to notify the Commission as soon as possible, and at the latest within 15 working days from the date of receipt of this decision, which information it considers to be covered by the obligation of professional secrecy pursuant to Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 (4),
— to inform the beneficiary of the aid of this decision as soon as possible, concealing, as need be, the information it considers to be covered by the obligation of professional secrecy, communication of which to the beneficiary of the aid might be detrimental to some of the parties concerned, and to indicate in the version sent, if need be, any other information that it considers to be covered by the obligation of professional secrecy and has not concealed,
1. In the second paragraph of Article 2 of Decision 2004/166/EC, the word ‘Aliso’ is replaced with ‘Asco’.
2. Under the last indent in recital 97 of that Decision, the words ‘high-speed ship Asco’ are replaced with ‘either the high-speed ship Asco or its sister ship, the high-speed ship Aliso’.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

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) Directive 2001/83/EC (3) of the European Parliament and of the Council provides that certain measures are to 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 (4).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (5) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to adapt certain provisions and annexes, to adopt arrangements, principles and guidelines, and to lay down specific conditions of application. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2001/83/EC, inter alia, 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.
(5) Directive 2001/83/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since the amendments made to Directive 2001/83/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,

31976D0031 | 76/31/ECSC: Commission Decision of 11 July 1975 on the acquisition by the EGAM Group of the share capital of Vetrocoke Cokapuania (Only the Italian text is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 11 July 1975 on the acquisition by the EGAM Group of the share capital of Vetrocoke Cokapuania (Only the Italian text is authentic) (76/31/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 66 and 80 thereof,
Having regard to High Authority Decision No 24/54 of 6 May 1954 laying down in implementation of Article 66 (1) of the Treaty a Regulation on what constitutes control of an undertaking,
Having regard to the application made on 30 July 1974 by ISAI - Iniziative e Sviluppo AttivitĂ Industriali SpA - the financing organization of EGAM - Ente Autonomo di Gestione per le Aziende Minerarie Metallurgiche - for authorization to acquire the share capital of Vetrocoke Cokapuania,
Whereas: 1. EGAM is an Italian state-controlled group formed in 1958 with an initial capital (fondo di dotazione) of Lit 330 000 million ; it comprises a large number of undertakings in various branches of the mining, iron and steel and mechanical engineering industries. Of these undertakings, some are engaged in production in the coal (coke production) and steel industries within the meaning of Article 80 of the Treaty. These undertakings together form the EGAM Group.
2. Vetrocoke Cokapuania is an undertaking within the meaning of Article 80 of the Treaty which produces hard coal coke at a number of plants and, with Italgas, controls a further coking plant (Cokitalia).
3. Directly or indirectly, the Italian State controls other undertakings which, depending on their type of business, belong the IRI, ENEL, ENI or EFIM Groups. However, although these groups could be subject to a central planning and management body they operate as autonomous commercial enterprises. Although therefore the undertakings in the EGAM Group and the undertakings in the IRI, ENEL, ENI and EFIM Groups are linked to each other nevertheless the connection does not bring about any restrictive effect on competition. Accordingly, consideration of the case can be confined to the effect of Vetrocoke Cokapuania becoming a member of the EGAM Group.
4. The acquisition of Vetrocoke Cokapuania by EGAM will constitute a concentration within the meaning of Article 66 (1) of the Treaty. Account must be taken here of all the undertakings under central control by EGAM.
5. The EGAM Group already controls coking plants and steel works the output of which in 1974 was as follows: - hard coal coke : approximately 513 000 metric tons,
- special steels : approximately 669 000 metric tons,
- ordinary steels : approximately 295 000 metric tons.
Vetrocoke Cokapuania's 1974 hard coal coke output was approximately 1 736 000 metric tons.
Of its total production of approximately 2 725 million metric tons of coke, the EGAM Group, as augmented by Vetrocoke Cokapuania, would consume approximately 221 000 metric tons in its own steel works and other plants belonging to the Group. The remaining two million metric tons are sold primarily in the Italian domestic market and in non-member countries.
6. In view of the diversified activities of EGAM, the merger could influence the competitive situation both in the solid fuels market and on the steel market. For the purposes of the tests for authorization under Article 66 (2), the effects in both markets have to be considered because, despite the relatively small output affected by the merger, the incorporation of Vetrocoke Cokapuania into the EGAM Group would bring Italy's entire production of coke for the open market into a single undertaking. Italy's other coking plants are the steelworks coke ovens of the IRI Group (Italsider), which is largely self-sufficient. EGAM supplies only residual quantities to IRI, which in 1974 were about 350 000 metric tons or approximately 6 % of IRI'S own production.
As a result of the merger, EGAM will be the only supplier of Italian-produced coke for domestic and small-industry consumption as well as for industries other than the steel industry. Since these two consumer groups take only 1 71 million metric tons annually, the market is a very small one - and one in which competition from substitute energy sources is particularly intense. The quantities of coke sold in this market in 1972 accounted for only about 1 71 % of the corresponding energy consumption ; in 1962 the figure was approximately 5 73 %. Accordingly, EGAM's freedom to set prices and plan production is very limited. It is highly susceptible to outside influences as coke can be replaced by other fuels, most of which are cheaper.
The acquisition of Vetrocoke Cokapuania would make no quantitative or qualitative difference as regards supplies to steel-producing undertakings under EGAM control. These undertakings have traditionally obtained their supplies from Cokitalia, a coking plant jointly controlled by Vetrocoke Cokapuania and Italgas. The influence of the other major shareholder on the management of Cokitalia means that virtually no preferential price terms are possible. Accordingly, acquisition by EGAM of Vetrocoke Cokapuania will give these steel undertakings no advantage in access to supplies.
The new relationship between Vetrocoke Cokapuania and the steel-producing undertakings of the EGAM Group would therefore not bring about any restrictive effect on competition.
7. The proposed transaction will not give the undertakings concerned the power to determine prices, to control or restrict production or distribution or to hinder effective competition in a substantial part of the market for hard coal coke and steel products, nor to evade the rules on competition instituted under the Treaty,
The EGAM Group is hereby authorized to acquire the share capital of Vetrocoke Cokapuania.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the instruments establishing common organization of agricultural markets and to the instruments concerning processed agricultural products adopted pursuant to Article 235 of the Treaty, in particular the provisions of those instruments which allow for derogation from the general principle banning all quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect, with the exception of the sole measures provided for in those same instruments,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) N° 2603/69 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1934/82 (2), exports from the Community to third countries are free, that is, not subject to any quantitative restrictions, subject to the exceptions provided for in that Regulation and listed in the Annex thereto;
Whereas, since the adoption of that Regulation, Member States have removed most of the restrictions on exports of some products listed in that Annex;
Whereas account should be taken of this development and the Regulation updated accordingly;
Whereas, after 31 December 1992, the maintenance by Member States of quantitative restrictions would be incompatible with the single market, which entails the abolition of goods controls at the Community's internal frontiers;
Whereas Article 30 (5) of the Single European Act determines that the external policies of the European Community and the policies agreed in European Political Cooperation must be consistent; whereas, therefore, Member States may be allowed to maintain some restrictions on exports until 31 December 1992, in particular on those exports for which restrictions have been agreed in European Political Cooperation;
Whereas it is necessary to authorize Member States which are bound by international commitments setting up, in cases of actual or potential supply difficulties, a system for the allocation of oil products between contracting parties to comply with the resulting obligations vis-à-vis third countries, without prejudice to Community provisions adopted to the same end; whereas this authorization should apply until the adoption by the Council of appropriate measures pursuant to commitments entered into by the Community or all the Member States;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2603/69 should be amended as a result,
Regulation (EEC) N° 2603/69 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 10 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 10
1. Until 31 December 1992, the principle of the freedom of export as laid down in Article 1 shall not apply:
- to those products listed in Annex I for the Member States mentioned therein,
- nor to exports which are at present restricted by the Member States pursuant to a decision taken in European Political Cooperation.
2. In respect of products listed in Annex II, until such time as the Council adopts appropriate measures pursuant to inernational commitments entered into by the Community or all its Member States, Member States shall be authorized to implement, without prejudice to rules adopted by the Community in this field, the emergency sharing system introducing an allocation obligation vis-à-vis third countries provided for in international commitments entered into before the entry into force of this Regulation.
Member States shall inform the Commission of measures they intend to adopt. The measures adopted shall be communicated by the Commission to the Council and other Member States.`;
2.
the Annex shall be replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
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 Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that were extant at 14 September 2002 were adopted.
(2) On 20 July 2006, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published IFRIC Interpretation 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment, hereinafter ‘IFRIC 10’. IFRIC 10 clarifies that impairment losses on goodwill and certain financial assets (‘available for sale’ equity investments and unquoted equity instruments measured at cost) that are recognised in an interim financial statement must not be reversed in subsequent interim or annual financial statements. The interpretation was required due to an apparent conflict between the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and those in IAS 36 Impairment of assets, and the impairment provisions related to certain financial assets in IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement.
(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that IFRIC 10 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1725/2003, ‘International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee’s (IFRIC) Interpretation 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment’, is inserted as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Each company shall apply IFRIC 10 as set out in the Annex to this Regulation as from the commencement date of its 2007 financial year at the latest, except for companies with a November or December commencement date which shall apply IFRIC 10 as from the commencement date of the 2006 financial year at the latest.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 to the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulations (EC) No 1039/2003(6), (EC) No 1086/2003(7), (EC) No 1087/2003(8), (EC) No 1088/2003(9), (EC) No 1089/2003(10) and (EC) No 1090/2003(11) the Council adopted autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to those countries. Those regulations provide that with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(9) Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(12), provides that with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in Article 1(2) thereof which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(10) Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(13), provides that with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(11) With a view to enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004, the setting of all remaining export refunds has been discontinued in the cereals and rice sector, in relation to the Annex I processed products concerned when exported to the acceding States.
(12) Therefore, with effect from 7 April 2004 no refund should be set for certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Cyprus and Poland and for the goods which are not referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 when exported to Hungary.
(13) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(14) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

With effect from 1 November 2003 these rates are not applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Malta.
2. Without prejudice to Article 1 and with effect from 7 April 2004 no rates of refund shall be set in respect of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Cyprus and Poland and in respect of goods which are not referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 when exported to Hungary.

Having regard to Recommendation ECB/2013/32 of the European Central Bank of 2 September 2013 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Banco de España (1),
Whereas:
(1) The accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) and of the national central banks of the Eurosystem are to be audited by independent external auditors recommended by the Governing Council of the ECB and approved by the Council of the European Union.
(2) The mandate of the current external auditors of the Banco de España expired after the audit for the financial year 2012. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors from the financial year 2013.
(3) The Banco de España has selected KPMG Auditores, S.L. as its external auditors for the financial years 2013 to 2017.
(4) The Governing Council of the ECB recommended that KPMG Auditores, S.L. be appointed as the external auditors of the Banco de España for the financial years 2013 to 2017.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) The application concerns a new authorisation of a preparation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CNCM-I-3698) and Lactobacillus farciminis (CNCM-I-3699) (Sorbiflore), as a feed additive for piglets, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) From the Opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) of 15 July 2008 (2) it results that, based on the data provided by the manufacturer, a preparation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CNCM-I-3698) and Lactobacillus farciminis (CNCM-I-3699) (Sorbiflore) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and it is efficacious in improving the weight gain. The Authority further concluded that that preparation may be a potential respiratory sensitiser. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular point (12) of Part A of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Point (12) of Part A of Annex III to Directive 2000/29/EC provides for a general prohibition concerning the introduction into the Union of tubers of species of Solanum L. and their hybrids, other than those specified in points (10) and (11) of that Part A, including tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in third countries. That prohibition is not to apply to European third countries recognised as being free from Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus (Spieckerman and Kotthoff) Davis et al. (‘the organism’).
(2) It appears from official reports related to survey campaigns in 2009, 2010 and 2011 supplied by Serbia and from information collected during a mission carried out in that country by the Food and Veterinary Office in November and December 2009, that the organism does not occur in Serbia and that that country has applied control, inspection and testing procedures for the organism to imports and domestic production of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L.
(3) It is therefore appropriate to recognise Serbia as being free from the organism.
(4) This Decision is without prejudice to any subsequent findings that may show that the organism is present in Serbia.
(5) The Commission will request Serbia to supply, on a yearly basis, the information necessary to verify that Serbia continues to be free from the organism.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Recognition
Serbia is recognised as being free from Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus (Spieckerman and Kotthoff) Davis et al.

(1) The active substance sodium hypochlorite was included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) by Commission Directive 2008/127/EC (3) in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 24b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 of 3 December 2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4). Since the replacement of Directive 91/414/EEC by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this substance is deemed to have been approved under that Regulation and is listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (5).
(2) In accordance with Article 25a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, presented to the Commission its view on the draft review report for sodium hypochlorite (6) on 25 June 2012. The Authority communicated its view on sodium hypochlorite to the notifier. The Commission invited it to submit comments on the draft review report for sodium hypochlorite. The draft review report and the view 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 sodium hypochlorite.
(3) It is confirmed that the active substance sodium hypochlorite is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(4) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to amend the conditions of approval of sodium hypochlorite. Despite comprehensive information on sodium hypochlorite as generally available commodity substance exists, if only data provided by the notifier are taken into account, the exposure assessment to operator, worker and surface water could not be finalised. Therefore, it is opportune to restrict the authorisations to indoor uses and to insert some new provisions for the Member States granting authorisations for plant protection products containing sodium hypochlorite.
(5) The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) A reasonable period of time should be allowed before the application of this Regulation in order to allow Member States, notifiers and holders of authorisations for plant protection products to meet the requirements resulting from amendment to the conditions of the approval.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2013.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 30 April 1996 authorizing France to grant aid to the coal industry for 1996 (Only the French text is authentic) (96/458/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1), and in particular Articles 2 (1) and 9 thereof,
Having regard to Decision 95/465/ECSC of 19 July 1995 approving the French coal industry's activity-reduction plan (2),
Whereas:
I
Pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, France notified the Commission, by letter of 12 February 1996, of the financial aid which it proposes to grant to the coal industry for 1996.
Pursuant to Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission must give a ruling, for 1996, on the following financial measures:
- aid to reduce activity, amounting to FF 569 million, to cover operating losses,
- aid for research and development, amounting to FF 15 million,
- aid to cover exceptional costs, amounting to FF 3 831 million.
The financial measures envisaged by France in favour of its coal industry are in line with Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and pursuant to Article 9 have to be approved by the Commission, which gives a ruling in particular on the basis of the general objectives and criteria laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria set out in Articles 4, 5 and 6 of the said Decision. When examining the measures, the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (6) of the said Decision, assesses the conformity of the measures with the activity-reduction plans which have been approved by the Commission.
II
The sum of FF 569 million which France is proposing to grant the coal industry under Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, is aimed at partially compensating Charbonnages de France for operating losses. This aid is part of the undertaking's activity-reduction plan, total cessation of activities being planned for the year 2005. Given the exceptional social and regional consequences which the reduction of activity by this undertaking will entail, the French Government, in agreement with the social partners, has decided to phase the closures up to the year 2005. Pursuant to Article 3 (1) of the Decision, the Commission has checked that, for 1996, the aid notified per tonne does not exceed for each production unit the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenue.
Pursuant to the second indent of Article 2 (1), this aid contributes to solving the social and regional problems created by total or partial reductions in the activity of production units.
In the light of the above and on the basis of information provided by France, the aid planned for 1996 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
III
The sum of FF 15 million which France is planning to grant Charbonnages de France under Article 6 of the Decision is aimed at supporting the undertaking's research and development efforts. This aid, which is less than 20 % of all expenditure earmarked by the undertaking for mining research and development, is focused, as regards mines, mainly on improving performance both in face workings and drivages. It is also aimed at improving safety and working conditions (especially research activities in the ergonomic field, ventilation and fire damp safety), the extension of remote control, monitoring and data transmission methods, and the environment. As regards the utilization of coal, it is focused on the behaviour of coal, upgrading of ash, the analysis of gaseous pollutants and the development of fluidized bed combustion.
This aid, which contributes, as regards its mining aspects, to an improvement of mining technology and hence to a reduction in production costs, enables the aid to be degressive to a certain extent. In its examination of the aid, the Commission made sure that the aid complied with the Community rules on State aid for research and development.
In the light of the above and on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid planned for 1996 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
IV
The aid amounting to FF 3 831 million which France is proposing to grant to its coal industry is aimed at covering exceptional costs arising from the modernization, rationalization and restructuring of the coal industry, which are not related to current production (inherited liabilities).
Pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid covers costs which are explicitly referred to in the Annex to the Decision, namely:
- FF 516 million towards the cost of paying social-welfare benefits resulting from the pensioning-off of workers before they reach statutory retirement age,
- FF 155 million as other exceptional expenditure on workers who lose their jobs as a result of restructuring and rationalization,
- FF 72 million as payment towards residual costs resulting from administrative, legal or tax provisions,
- FF 189 million towards additional work resulting from restructuring,
- FF 22 million towards mining damage attributable to pits previously in service,
- FF 35 million towards exceptional intrinsic depreciation resulting from the restructuring of the industry,
- FF 2 842 million towards the increase in the contributions, outside the statutory system, to cover social security costs as a result of the drop, following restructuring, in the number of contributors.
This aid may be regarded as compatible with the common market if it does not exceed costs. Having checked the data communicated, the Commission concludes that this condition has been fulfilled. Given the above and on the basis of information provided by France, the aid planned for 1996 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
V
Pursuant to the second indent of Article 3 (1) and Article 9 (2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission has to check that the aid authorized for current production corresponds solely to the purposes set out in Articles 4 and 6 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amounts of such payments and the way in which they are broken down,
France is authorized to apply the following measures in favour of its coal industry for 1996:
- aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FF 569 million, aimed at covering ooperating losses,
- aid for research and development, amounting to FF 15 million,
- aid to cover exceptional costs, amounting to FF 3 831 million.
France shall communicate the amounts of aid actually paid under this Decision for 1996 by 30 September 1997 at the latest.

On 19 October the Committee determined to issue a consolidated version of the list of points of entry into Angolan territory, therefore Annex IV should be replaced by the consolidated list. In addition one CN code should be updated in Annex 1,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the instruments establishing common organization of agricultural markets and to the instruments concerning processed agricultural products adopted in pursuance of Article 235 of the Treaty, in particular the provisions of those instruments which allow for derogation from the general principle that quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect may be replaced solely by the measures provided for in those same instruments,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 (1), the exportation of products from the Community to third countries is free, that is to say, not subject to any quantitative restriction, with the exception of those restrictions which are applied in conformity with the provisions of that Regulation and are listed in the Annex thereto;
Whereas, since the adoption of that Regulation, a number of Member States have abolished the restrictions which they applied to exports of certain products set out in the said Annex;
Whereas this trend towards greater liberalization of exports should be taken into account by updating the said Regulation;
Whereas it should also be specified more clearly that the restrictions maintained in force under Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 are applied only by the Member States indicated in respect of the products listed in the Annex, with the exception of certain products of the energy sector which it seems advisable for all Member States to exclude from the liberalization of exports at Community level in view in particular of the international commitments entered into by certain Member States;
Whereas, moreover, products traditionally subject to quota restrictions in Greece whose unlimited export could, because of the decline in domestic production and the difference between prices in Greece and on the world market, cause serious supply difficulties for the processing industries in Greece, should be added to the list of goods to which Member States apply export restrictions,
Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 10
Until the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, has introduced common rules in respect of the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation, the principle of freedom of export from the Community as laid down in Article 1 shall not apply to those products for the Member States mentioned in the Annex or to the following products for all Member States:
27.09 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude
27.10 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing not less than 70 % by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations:
A Light oils
B Medium oils
ex C Heavy oils except lubricating oils used in clocks and watches and the like presented in small receptacles containing not more than 250 g net of oil
27.11 Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons:
A Propane of a purity not less than 99 %
B Other:
I Commercial propane and commercial butane'

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), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/37/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the United Kingdom received on 29 September 1997 an application from Twinagro Ltd. for the inclusion of the active substance fluazolat in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) Commission Decision 98/676/EC(3) confirmed that, on preliminary examination, the dossier was complete in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) Member States were thereby given the possibility to grant provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing fluazolat, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC. No Member State has used this possibility.
(4) The United Kingdom, as rapporteur Member State, has indicated to the Commission that a detailed examination of the dossier revealed that several additional items of data were still required under Annexes II and III of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in relation to the environmental fate of the active substance and its degradation products. Accordingly, the dossier can no longer be considered to be complete.
(5) The applicant has informed the United Kingdom and the Commission of its intention not to support the ongoing evaluation any further and not to submit further data on the active substance or its degradation products. As a result, it is clear that the dossier will not be completed and that it will thus be impossible for the United Kingdom to draft an assessment report concerning fluazolat and distribute it to the Commission and other Member States. The possibility of granting provisional authorisation for fluazolat should therefore be withdrawn.
(6) No period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing fluazolat is necessary as no Member State has granted a provisional authorisation for this active substance.
(7) Decision 98/676/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 1 of Decision 98/676/EC, point 4 is deleted.

of 30 October 1990
authorizing the Kingdom of Spain to permit temporarily the marketing of durum wheat seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC
(90/551/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/2/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of Spain,
Whereas in Spain the production of seed of durum wheat satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1990 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the Kingdom of Spain should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 March 1991, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply Spain with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for Spain;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Kingdom of Spain is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 March 1991 the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 2 300 tonnes of seed of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) of very early, shortstemmed varieties of the categories 'certified seed of the first generation' or 'certified seed of the second generation', which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 80 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'minimum germination capacity 80 %',
- 'intended exclusively for Spain'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 2 300 tonnes of durum wheat seed provided that it is intended exclusively for Spain. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 May 1991 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 878/2008
of 9 September 2008
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for industrial use of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 43(d) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 39(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (2) provides that the intervention agencies may sell sugar only after a decision to that effect has been adopted by the Commission. Given the continued existence of intervention stocks, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility to sell for industrial use sugar held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Such a decision was taken by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1476/2007 of 13 December 2007 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for industrial use of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden and amending Regulations (EC) Nos 1059/2007 and 1060/2007 (3). Under that Regulation, tenders may be submitted for the last time between 10 and 24 September 2008.
(3) It is foreseeable that intervention stocks of sugar will continue to exist in most of the Member States concerned after expiry of that last possibility to submit tenders. In order to respond to the continued market needs, it is therefore appropriate to open a further standing invitation to tender to make these stocks available for industrial use.
(4) Pursuant to Article 42(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, it is appropriate to fix a minimum quantity per tenderer or per lot.
(5) To allow comparison of tender prices for sugar of different qualities, the tender price should refer to sugar of the standard quality as defined in Part B of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(6) The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden should communicate the tenders to the Commission. The tenderers should remain anonymous.
(7) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a minimum selling price for each partial invitation to tender.
(8) The minimum selling price refers to sugar of the standard quality. Provision should be made to adjust the selling price in cases where the sugar is not of this quality.
(9) The quantities available for a Member State that can be awarded pursuant to this Regulation should take into account the quantities awarded pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 877/2008 of 9 September 2008 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden (4).
(10) In order to ensure proper management of sugar in storage, provision should be made for a communication from the Member States to the Commission on the quantities actually sold.
(11) The provisions on processor’s records, checks and penalties laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards sugar production in excess of the quota (5) should apply to the quantities awarded under this Regulation.
(12) To ensure that the quantities awarded pursuant to this Regulation are used as industrial sugar, financial penalties must be laid down for tenderers at a dissuasive level to avoid any risk of these quantities being used for other purposes.
(13) The second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 (6) continues to apply to sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006. However, for the resale of intervention sugar, this distinction is unnecessary and its implementation would create administrative difficulties for Member States. It is therefore appropriate to exclude the application of Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 to the resale of intervention sugar pursuant to this Regulation.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden listed in Annex I shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender for industrial use a maximum total quantity of 345 539 tonnes of sugar accepted into intervention and available for sale for industrial use.
The maximum quantities involved per Member State are set out in Annex I.
1. The period during which tenders may be submitted in response to the first partial invitation to tender shall begin on 1 October 2008 and shall end on 15 October 2008 at 15.00 Brussels time.
The periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial invitations shall begin on the first working day following the end of the preceding period. They shall end at 15.00 Brussels time on:
— 29 October 2008,
— 12 and 26 November 2008,
— 3 and 17 December 2008,
— 7 and 28 January 2009,
