(3) On 16 July 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/653/EU (3) on the signing and the provisional application of the new Protocol.
(4) In accordance with Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 of 29 September 2008 concerning authorisations for fishing activities of Community fishing vessels outside Community waters and the access of third country vessels to Community waters (4), if it appears that the number of fishing authorisations or the amount of fishing opportunities allocated to the Union under the current Protocol are not fully utilised, the Commission is to inform the Member States concerned. The absence of a reply within the deadline to be set by the Council is to be considered as confirmation that the vessels of the Member State concerned are not making full use of their fishing opportunities during the given period. That deadline should therefore be set by the Council.
(5) Given that the current Protocol will expire on 31 December 2012 and that the new Protocol is to be provisionally applied from 1 January 2013, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2013,
1. If, by the relevant date set out in the Annex to this Regulation, applications for fishing authorisations from the Member States under the Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, on the other hand, do not cover all the annually allocated fishing opportunities set by that Protocol, the Commission shall consider applications for fishing authorisations from any other Member State pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008.
2. The deadline referred to in Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 shall be set at 10 working days.
3. For each stock referred to in the Annex, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the level of utilisation of the fishing opportunities based on licence applications received at the latest:
(a) one month before the date set out in the Annex; and
(b) by the date set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2013.
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 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments(1), amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom), and in particular Article 20(3),
Having regard to the programmes submitted by France for the control of organisms harmful to plants or plant products in the French overseas departments,
Whereas:

31979D0023 | 79/23/ECSC: Commission Decision of 7 December 1978 approving aids from the United Kingdom for the coal-mining industry during the coal marketing year 1978/79 (Only the English text is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 7 December 1978 approving aids from the United Kingdom for the coal-mining industry during the coal marketing year 1978/79 (Only the English text is authentic) (79/23/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the United Kingdom Government has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the abovementioned Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of the coal industry during the coal marketing year 1978/79 (2) ; whereas the following of these measures may be approved pursuant to that Decision: >PIC FILE= "T0019664">
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
The aid for attracting and keeping skilled workers is intended to offset in part the NCB's costs arising from rationalization and the transfer of production to their best pits. This results in outgoings on removals, transport, etc.
Whereas the United Kingdom Government is to contribute £ 3 73 million towards such costs borne by the NCB in 1978/79;
Whereas the purpose and form of the aid show that it meets the criteria set out in Article 8 of the Decision;
Whereas the £ 9 70 million aid to cover the costs of stocks of coal and coke is based on total producers' stocks, and additional stock held by consumers financed directly or indirectly by the producers, amounting to some 16 million tonnes ; whereas, with monthly production of around 10 million tonnes, stocks eligible for aid under Article 9 (2) amount to 6 million tonnes ; whereas the amount of aid per tonne is accordingly £ 1 75 ; whereas the actual cost of stocks (including depreciation and interest) is substantially higher than the amount of aid;
Whereas the purpose and form of the aid show that it meets the criteria set out in Article 9 of the Decision;
Whereas the £ 8 75 million aid for power station coal is intended to cover the cost of deliveries of power station coal to Scotland. From the information provided by the British Government the amount and purposes of the aid granted can be regarded as compatible with Article 11 of the Decision;
II
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, the examination of the compatibility of the abovementioned aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in the coal marketing year 1978/79;
Whereas aids for current production in the United Kingdom will amount to 39 77 million European units of account or 0 732 European unit of account per tonne for the coal marketing year 1978/79 ; whereas the British coal industry therefore receives the lowest subsidy of all coal-producing Member States;
Whereas the examination of the compatibility of this aid with the proper functioning of the common market requires no detailed information or investigations: - there will be no supply difficulties on the British market in 1978/79,
- British coal exports to other Community countries will rise in 1978/79 compared with 1977/78,
- progress with rationalization, together with new investment projects will stabilize the production in the coal marketing year 1978/79,
- industrial consumers of coal will not receive indirect aid in 1978 as a result of the prices of British coking coal and steam coal;
Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the aids proposed in the coal marketing year 1978/79 for the (1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1. (2) The coal marketing year 1978/79 runs from the beginning of April 1978 to the end of March 1979. current production of the British coal industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this also applies when account is taken of aids to the coal miners under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof ; whereas the Commission must therefore be informed in particular of the amount of these payments and of the manner in which they are apportioned,
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized in respect of the coal marketing year 1978/79 to grant aids totalling £ 20 800 000 to the British coal-mining industry. The said aids are made up as follows: 1. grant to cover the costs incurred by the National Coal Board in respect of relocation of personnel under the production rationalization programme, not exceeding £ 3 300 000;
2. aid towards stocking costs in respect of coal and coke not exceeding £ 9 000 000;
3. aid for deliveries of power station coal to Scotland not exceeding £ 8 500 000.
The United Kingdom Government shall notify the Commission by 31 March 1979 of the details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

(b) the obligation to lodge, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, an application for an export licence in respect of that quantity, the application not being revocable and Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 120/89 not applying in such a case. The application shall be lodged not later than:
- the last working day preceding the date of the partial invitation to tender to be held the following week, or
- if no partial invitation to tender is due to be held that week, the last working day of the following week;
(c) the obligation to export the tendered quantity and, if this obligation is not fulfilled, to pay, where necessary, the amount referred to in Article 13(4).

4. Except in cases of force majeure, if the obligation to export resulting from the export licence referred to in Article 12(b) has not been fulfilled and if the security referred to in Article 6 is less than:
(a) the export levy indicated on the licence, less the levy referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 33(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 in force on the last day of validity of the said licence, or
(b) the sum of the export levy indicated on the licence and the refund referred to in Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 in force on the last day of validity of the said licence, or
(c) the export refund referred to in Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 in force on the last day of validity of the licence, less the refund indicated on the said licence,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2240/88 of 19 July 1988 fixing, for peaches, lemons and oranges, the rules for applying Article 16b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2238/88(2), and in particular Article 16b (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(3),
Whereas, in order to make the producers concerned more aware of the real requirements of the market, Article 16b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides for the possibility of fixing intervention thresholds for products subject to the prices and intervention arrangements, beyond which financial liability will be borne by the producers;
Whereas, in view of the situation of the market for peaches, lemons and oranges and in particular the scale of withdrawals recorded, an intervention threshold should be fixed for such products for the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;
Whereas, for those products, that threshold may be expressed as a percentage of the average quantities produced and intended to be consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which production figures are available;
Whereas, in order to allow for the progressive adjustment of production of those products to the trend in the market, provision should be made for a degressive threshold,
1. The intervention thresholds for lemons and oranges shall be the following percentages of the average production intended to be consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which data are available:
-for the 1988/89 marketing year: 15 %,
-for the 1989/90 marketing year: 13,5 %,
-for the 1990/91 marketing year: 12 %,
-from the 1991/92 marketing year: 10 %.
2. The intervention threshold for peaches shall be the following percentages of the average production intended to be consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which data are available:
-for the 1988/89 marketing year: 20 %,
-for the 1989/90 marketing year: 17 %,
-for the 1990/91 marketing year: 15 %,
-from the 1991/92 marketing year: 12 %.
3. The Commission shall adopt the intervention thresholds referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
If, during a marketing year, the quantities of peaches, lemons or oranges bought in exceed the thresholds laid down in accordance with Article 1, the basic price and the buying-in price fixed for those products for the following marketing year shall be reduced by 1 % per:
-18 000 tonnes in the case of peaches,
- 6 600 tonnes in the case of lemons,
-20 000 tonnes in the case of oranges,
by which that threshold is exceeded.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 61/1999(2) allocates, for 1999, catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Lithuanian waters;
(2) in accordance with the procedure provided for in the Agreement on fisheries relations between the European Community and the Republic of Lithuania(3), and in particular Articles 3 and 6 thereof, the Community and Lithuania have held further consultations concerning their mutual fishing rights for 1999 and the management of common living resources;
(3) in the course of these consultations, agreement was reached on a transfer of an additional quota of 5000 tonnes of sprat from Lithuania to the Community;
(4) to ensure efficient management of the catch possibilities available in Lithuanian waters, the additional quota should be allocated among the Member States in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92;
(5) Regulation (EC) No 61/1999 should be amended accordingly;
(6) in order to ensure the livelihood of Community fishermen it is important to open these fisheries as early as possible in 1999; given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments of the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 61/1999, the entry referring to sprat shall be replaced by that set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Haying regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(2), the export licences for the products referred to therein are valid from the date of issue until the end of the third month following that date.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 of 29 June 2001 fixing the export refunds on syrups and other sugar products exported in the natural state(3) fixes the export refunds applicable to these products from 1 July 2001 and limits the validity of the export licences to 30 September 2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between operators using the licences by 30 September 2001 and those using them after that date.
(3) In order to allow the operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be established for licences issued in July 2001 but used after 30 September 2001. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001, which limits the term of validity of these export licences, should therefore be repealed.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the basic product is processed after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the export licences issued before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to licences issued on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 is amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 1: "Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent."
2. Article 2 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall apply to export licences issued on or after 1 July 2001.
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 |

Whereas the difficulties which justified the provisional exemption of certain categories of producer in Greece from the obligations laid down in Articles 1 and 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3929/87 (3) still persist; whereas the validity of the derogation arrangements laid down for the abovementioned producers should accordingly be extended for one more wine year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 3929/87 is replaced by the following:
'Article 16

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 1124/2010 of 29 November 2010 fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in the Baltic Sea (2), lays down quotas for 2011.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2011.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2011 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 14(3) and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76 (2) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) As the standing invitations to tender for the export refunds on rice have ended for this year, refunds in ordinary law for this product need no longer be fixed. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is hereby suspended.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included 1-decanol.
(2) In accordance with Article 24e of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/941/EC of 8 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of 1-decanol.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the application of the accelerated procedure provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to the United Kingdom, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/941/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The United Kingdom evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 10 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on 1-decanol to the Commission on 27 August 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for 1-decanol.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing 1-decanol may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include 1-decanol in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit confirmatory information as regards the risk to aquatic organisms and of information confirming the groundwater, surface water and sediment exposure assessments.
(8) 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.
(9) 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 1-decanol 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.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of 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 (7) 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.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/941/EC provides for the non-inclusion of 1-decanol and the withdrawal of authorisation of plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning 1-decanol in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/941/EC accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 7 April 1981, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Microspec wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer, model WDX-210", to be used for research of metal surfaces and in particular for studies of ion implantation for corrosion resistance of oxide "glazes", of aluminium anodes for cathodic protection, of scale nucleation on heat transfer surfaces, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 25 September 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an X-ray spectrometer ; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high spectrometrical reslution power and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities ; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community ; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as "Microspec wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer, model WDX-210" which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 April 1981 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

of 17 April 1986
repealing the definitive countervailing duty on imports of tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in Spain
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 7 and 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee provided for in that Regulation,
Whereas the following is the case:
A. Definitive action
1. Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2901/85 (3), imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron originating in Spain and falling within heading No ex 73.20 of the Common Customs Tariff corresponding to Nimexe code 73.20-30.
B. Review
2. In connection with the accession of Spain to the European Communities, the Spanish Government has introduced, with effect from 1 January 1986, a new turnover tax system based on value added (Impuesto sobre el Valor AĂąadido), which replaced the former cascade turnover tax system (Impuesto sobre el TrĂĄfico de las Empresas y Recargos Provinciales).
C. Repeal of definitive countervailing duty
3. It is considered that as a result of the application of the new tax mentioned in paragraph 2, the refund of the indirect taxes on export corresponds to the indirect taxes borne by the product when destined for domestic consumption and therefore does not, in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, constitute a subsidy. Under these circumstances, the definitive countervailing duty is no longer appropriate and, consequently, Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 should be repealed with effect from 1 January 1986.
4. Under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 (5), importers are entitled to a refund of countervailing duties paid on goods released for free circulation in the Community since 1 January 1986,
Regulation (EEC) No 706/84 is hereby repealed.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 590/2001(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 719/2001(3), introduces a number of amendments and derogations to Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000(4) in order to deal with the exceptional market situation resulting from the recent events linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The subsequent epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has made certain further amendments necessary.
(2) By derogating from Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 provides for the buying-in of five-rib forequarters. In the light of experience, certain rules on the takeover of the quarters should be established.
(3) Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 provides, for the first two tendering procedures of the second quarter of 2001, the possibility of buying in carcasses weighing more than the maximum weight while restricting in that case the buying-in price to that of the maximum authorised weight. In order to clarify the situation with regard to the purchase of forequarters, a restriction should be applied relating to the second tendering procedure by limiting their buying-in price to 40 % of the maximum payable weight for carcasses.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 should therefore be amended.
(5) In view of the development of events this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1(3) is replaced by the following text: "3. Notwithstanding Article 4(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, for the second quarter of 2001 the maximum weight of the carcasses referred to therein shall be:
- 430 kg for the first tendering procedure; however, carcasses weighing more than 430 kg may be bought into intervention but in that case the buying-in price paid shall not exceed the price for that maximum weight,
- 430 kg for the second tendering procedure; however, carcasses weighing more than 430 kg may be bought into intervention but in that case the buying-in price paid shall not exceed the price for that maximum weight or, in the case of forequarters, the buying-in price paid shall not exceed the price for 40 % of the maximum payable weight,
- 410 kg for the third and fourth tendering procedures,
- 390 kg for the last two tendering procedures."
2. In Article 1 the following paragraph 5a is inserted after paragraph 5: "5a. Notwithstanding Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, where takeover is limited to forequarters, the latter must be presented together with the corresponding hindquarters in order to be accepted by the intervention agency, so that the maximum weight, presentation and classification of the carcasses from which they originate may be verified.
However, where preliminary inspection of the forequarters and hindquarters has been conducted under the conditions referred to in paragraph 3 of that Article, the forequarters accepted during that inspection may be presented without the hindquarters for definitive takeover at the intervention centre after being transported there in a sealed means of transport."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
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 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 82/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1427/97 (4), laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code, and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas, by Council Regulation (EC) No 3281/94 of 19 December 1994 applying a four-year scheme of generalized tariff preferences (1995 to 1998) in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 998/97 (6) the Community gave such preferences to Laos;
Whereas Articles 67 et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establish the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of generalized tariff preferences; whereas Article 76 of the Regulation provides however, for derogations to those provisions in favour of least-developed GSP beneficiary countries which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community;
Whereas the Government of Laos has applied for such a derogation in respect of certain textile products; whereas at the Community's request Laos has provided the requisite additional economic information;
Whereas the request submitted by Laos satisfies the requirements of Article 76; whereas in particular the introduction of quantitative conditions (on annual basis) reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb the Lao products, Laos's export capacity and actual recorded trade flows is such as to prevent injury to the corresponding branches of Community industry;
Whereas in order to encourage regional cooperation among beneficiary countries it is desirable to provide that the raw materials to be used in Laos in the context of this derogation should originate in countries belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) (except Myanmar), the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or the Lome Convention;
Whereas any demand to extend application of the derogation beyond the quantities provided for must be considered in consultation with the Lao authorities;
Whereas the derogation may not in any case apply beyond 31 December 1998, when the current scheme of generalized tariff preferences for industrial products expires;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation is in conformity with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee (Origin Section),
1. By way of derogation from Articles 67 et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, products listed in the annex to this Regulation which are manufactured in Laos from woven fabric (woven items) or yarn (knitted items) imported into that country and originating in a country belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) (except Myanmar), the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or the Lome Convention shall be regarded as originating in Laos in accordance with the arrangements set out below.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, products shall be considered as originating in Asean or SAARC when they are obtained in these countries according to the rules of origin provided in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, or as originating in the beneficiary countries of the Lome Convention when they are obtained in these countries according to the rules of origin provided in Protocol No 1 to the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention (7).
3. The competent authorities of Laos shall undertake to take all of the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of paragraph 2.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products, imported into the Community from Laos during the period from 1 August 1997 to 31 December 1998, up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product.
The quantities referred to in Article 2 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer presents a declaration for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the provisions of this Regulation, and the declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the declarations were accepted, shall be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date on which the customs authorities of the Member State concerned accepted the declaration for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the amount drawn it shall return it as soon as possible to the corresponding quantity.
If the amounts requested are greater than the available balance of the quantity in question, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quantities for as long as the balance of the relevant quantity so permits.
When drawings under Article 3 account for 80 % of the quantities shown in the Annex, the Commission, in consultation with the Lao authorities, shall consider whether it is necessary to extend application of the derogation beyond those quantities.
The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificates of origin Form A issued under this Regulation:
‘Derogation — Regulation (EC) No 1713/97’
In case of doubt, the Member States may demand a copy of the document certifying the origin of the materials used in Laos under this derogation. Such a demand may be made at the time of entry into free circulation of the goods benefiting from the provisions of this Regulation, or within the framework of the administrative cooperation for which provision is made in Article 94 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).
(3) The refund applicable in the case of malts must be calculated with amount taken of the quantity of cereals required to manufacture the products in question. The said quantities are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Member States must comply with Directive 79/279/EEC (3) within two years of its notification; whereas such notification took place on 8 March 1979; whereas the period therefore expired on 8 March 1981; whereas, however, the period was extended by one year in the case of Member States simultaneously introducing Directives 79/279/EEC and 80/390/EEC (4); whereas such period expires, in these circumstances, on 8 March 1982;
Whereas Member States must comply with Directive 80/390/EEC within 30 months of its notification; whereas such notification took place on 19 March 1980; whereas the period therefore expires on 19 September 1982; whereas, however, the period will expire on the earlier date of 8 March 1982 in the case of Member States simultaneously introducing Directives 79/279/EEC and 80/390/EEC;
Whereas Member States must comply by 30 June 1983 at the latest with Council Directive 82/121/EEC of 15 February 1982 on information to be published on a regular basis by companies the shares of which have been admitted to official stock-exchange listing (5);
Whereas there is a close link between these three Directives, not only because the purpose of all three is to coordinate a number of rules relating to securities which have been admitted to official stock exchange listing or whose admission to such official listing is requested, but above all because the three Directives aim to establish at Community level a coordinated information policy on the securities in question;
Whereas Member States should therefore be given the possibility of implementing the three Directives simultaneously so that they do not have to initiate several legislative or rule-making procedures in one and the same area at very short intervals, which might constitute an unacceptable extra burden for national parliaments or national stock exchange authorities;
Whereas Directives 79/279/EEC and 80/390/EEC should therefore be amended to allow Member States to implement them on the same date as Directive 82/121/EEC, namely by 30 June 1983 at the latest,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 22 (1) of Directive 79/279/EEC:
'However, this period shall be extended to 30 June 1983 in the case of Member States simultaneously introducing this Directive and Directives 80/390/EEC and 82/121/EEC.'

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy pursuant to national laws relate, inter alia, to external projections;
Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another ; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing rules in order, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which was the subject of Council Directive No 70/156/EEC (2) of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle;
Whereas it is desirable to adopt certain technical requirements adopted by the UN Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulation No 26 ("Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to their external projections") (3), annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958 concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts;
Whereas these requirements apply to motor vehicles of category M1 (the international classification of motor vehicles is given in Directive No 70/156/EEC);
Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles entails reciprocal recognition by Member States of inspection carried out by each of them on the basis of common requirements ; whereas, such a system must, if it is to function smoothly, be applied by all Member States with effect from the same date,
For the purposes of this Directive, "vehicle" means any motor vehicle of class M1 (defined in Annex I of Directive No 70/156/EEC) designed for use on the road, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h.
No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to the external projections if such projections satisfy the requirements laid down in Annexes I and II.
No Member State may refuse to register or prohibit the sale, entry into service or use of any vehicle on grounds relating to the external projections if such projections satisfy the requirements laid down in Annexes I and II.
The Member State which has granted type-approval shall take the necessary measures to ensure that it is informed of any modification of a part or (1)OJ No C 55, 13.5.1974, p. 14. (2)OJ No L 42, 23.2.1970, p. 1. (3)>PIC FILE= "T0006118"> characteristic referred to in item 2.2 of Annex I. The competent authorities of that State shall determine whether fresh tests should be carried out on the modified vehicle type and a fresh report drawn up. Where such tests reveal failure to comply with the requirements of this Directive, the modification shall not be approved.
Modifications which are necessary to adapt the provisions of Annexes I, II and III to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive No 70/156/EEC.
1. By 1 June 1975, the Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive and shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these provisions from 1 October 1975.
2. As soon as this Directive has been notified, the Member States shall ensure that any draft laws, regulations or administrative provisions which they intend to adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission in sufficient time for the Commission to submit its comments thereon.

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 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594) as a feed additive for poultry, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 14 December 2011 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the phosphorus utilisation in all target species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(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 ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1949/81 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 lays down that, on application by the party concerned, cereals placed under control as from 1 August 1973 may be eligible for refunds;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control weighted by a coefficient, fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio for the spirituous beverage in question between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed ; whereas, information having been received from the Member States pursuant to Article 15 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 (4), the coefficients for the periods between 1 August 1973 to 31 July 1981 should be fixed ; whereas Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 makes provision for differentiating the coefficient according to the cereals employed ; whereas the data at the Commission's disposal only make it possible to fix a coefficient for barley processed into malt used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of malt whisky;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly ; whereas this assessment may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate insignificant short-term fluctuations ; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion ; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the purposes of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81, the coefficient referred to in Article 3 of the said Regulation applicable to barley processed into malt used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of malt whisky shall be as follows: >PIC FILE= "T0021000">

of 8 October 1999
laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 as regards minimum standards for the treatment of products in the health, education and social protection sectors in the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 of 23 October 1995 concerning harmonised indices of consumer prices(1), and in particular Articles 4 and 5(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
After consulting the European Central Bank(2),
Whereas:
(1) by virtue of Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, each Member State is required to produce a Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) starting with the index for January 1997;
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96(3) defines the coverage of the HICP as those goods and services which are included in household final monetary consumption expenditure; goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors are part of the coverage of the HICP; household final monetary consumption covers the expenditure incurred by individuals living in institutional households and should be grouped in accordance with the COICOP/HICP categories as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/96(4);
(3) by virtue of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96, in particular Article 3 and Annex Ia thereof, extended coverage in the health, education and social protection sectors should be implemented in December 1999 and take effect with the index for January 2000, whereby the methodological details of inclusion should be specified in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 of the framework Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, the timetable of inclusion for hospital services and social protection services provided within the home, retirement homes and residences for the disabled should be specified in accordance with the same procedure;
(4) there is considerable scope for procedural differences in the treatment of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors in the HICP; a harmonised methodology for such goods and services is necessary to ensure that the resulting HICPs meet the comparability requirements as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95;
(5) the treatment of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors is consistent with the definitions laid down in the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96(5);
(6) the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC) has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman; in this case, following the procedure laid down in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, the Commission has to, without delay, submit to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken,
Aim
The aim of this Regulation is to set minimum standards for the treatment of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors in the Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices, hereafter referred to as HICPs, in order to ensure that they are reliable and relevant and meet the comparability requirements as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95.
Definition
1. Reimbursements refer to payments to households by government units, social security administrations or non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs), that are made as direct consequences of purchases of individually specified goods and services, initially paid for by households.
2. Payments of claims to households by insurance companies do not constitute reimbursements.
3. Other payments or rebates to households by government units, social security administrations or NPISHs in the form of assistance to reduce household expenditure, such as housing allowances to tenants or payments due to sickness, disability, the care of elderly relatives or scholarships to students, are considered as social benefits in cash. They are treated as income transfers to households and do not constitute reimbursements.
Coverage
1. Goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors on which household final monetary consumption expenditure is incurred shall be covered in the HICP and grouped in accordance with the COICOP/HICP categories as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/96.
2. All providers of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors, such as government and private institutions, NPISHs or private self-employed persons, shall be covered in the HICP independently of their status. This excludes individuals or groups of individuals as producers of goods and non-financial services exclusively for own final use.
3. In accordance with COICOP/HICP, Education (Division 10) includes education services only. If an all-inclusive price is charged for education services in combination with educational materials or education support services, its components shall be separated and allocated to the COICOP/HICP classes concerned. Where such an all-inclusive price cannot be separated into the prices of the components concerned, the all-inclusive price shall be allocated to COICOP/HICP Division 10.
4. Borderline cases between education services at the pre-primary level and child-minding social protection facilities, such as wet-nurses, crèches and play-schools, shall be allocated to COICOP/HICP Division 10 if the child's age of entry is not less than three years and the activities consist of organised instruction in a school-type environment designed to bridge the gap between the home and school atmosphere. If, on the other hand, the main objective is not a pedagogical one, but to provide child-minding assistance and support, the service concerned should be allocated to COICOP/HICP class 12.4.0.
5. Where hospitals, in addition to basic services as defined in COICOP/HICP 06.3, make other goods or services available to in-patients on a separate charge basis, the latter shall not be allocated to class 06.3.0, but to the COICOP/HICP classes concerned.
Prices
1. The HICP sub-indices concerned shall be calculated using a formula which is consistent with the Laspeyres-type formula used for other sub-indices. They should reflect the price change on the basis of the changed expenditure of maintaining the consumption pattern of households and the composition of the consumer population in the base or reference period.
2. (a) The purchaser prices of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors to be used in the HICP shall be the amounts to be paid by consumers net of reimbursements.
(b) Changes in purchaser prices which reflect changes in the rules determining them shall be shown as price changes in the HICP.
(c) Where purchaser prices are index-linked, changes resulting from changes in the index shall be shown as price changes in the HICP.
(d) Changes in the purchaser prices resulting from changes in purchasers' incomes shall be shown as price changes in the HICP.
3. Where quality changes, prices should be treated according to the rules applied in the context of specification changes, and in particular those regarding quality adjustment pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96.
4. Where goods or services, in the health, education and social protection sectors, have been made available to consumers free of charge and subsequently an actual price is charged, the change from zero to an actual price, and vice versa, shall be reflected in the HICP.
5. Where goods or services in the health, education and social protection sectors, jointly provided with other goods and services, have been made available to consumers free of charge and subsequently are charged for on a separate basis, the change shall be reflected in the HICP.
6. Where relevant, the procedure provided for in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2646/98(6) concerning tariffs shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Basic information
The basic information shall be all purchaser prices of goods and services in the health, education and social protection sectors and their components, together with weightings which reflect the level, the timing and the structure of the consumption of such goods or services, according to the price-determining socioeconomic characteristics.
Data sources
1. The HICP sub-indices concerned shall be computed by the Member States from basic information as defined in Article 5.
2. The statistical units, such as government agencies, social security administrations or NPISHs, called upon by the Member States to cooperate in the collection or provision of basic information are obliged to give honest and complete information at the time it is requested and allow the organisations and institutions responsible for compiling official statistics, on request, to obtain information at the level of detail necessary to evaluate compliance with the comparability requirements and the quality of the HICP sub-indices.
Comparability
HICPs constructed following the procedures described in Articles 4 and 5 of this Regulation or following other procedures which do not result in an index which differs systematically by more than one tenth of one percentage point on average over one year against the previous year from an index compiled following those procedures, shall be deemed comparable.
Quality control
1.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 963/2001
of 17 May 2001
on detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 as regards the additional Community support and the transmission of information to the Commission
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 11, first indent, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Rural development measures financed by the additional Community support referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 shall form part of rural development programming in accordance with Articles 41 to 44 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations (2). Therefore the Commission shall appraise the proposed measures in compliance with Article 33(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1750/1999 of 23 July 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 672/2001 (4).
(2) It is necessary to fix the time limits referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 governing the availability of the additional Community support. The limits should allow sufficient time for Member States to use the additional Community support.
(3) Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 provides for the use of amounts made available from payment reduction for certain additional measures to existing rural development measures. This support could consist either in support for additional beneficiaries of existing measures, including beneficiaries of new commitments for additional actions in the framework of existing measures, or in support for additional measures. It should, however, not be used for simply increasing Community co-financing rates of measures already foreseen in the rural development programming documents. To ensure traceability, the financing source for a multiannual action undertaken by a beneficiary must remain the same until the end of this undertaking.
(4) In order for the Commission to be fully informed of the measures taken by Member States to implement Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999, pursuant to Article 9 thereof, rules concerning the content and timing of communications should be adopted.
(5) The joint committee drawn from the Management Committees set up by Article 42 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 (5) and the corresponding Articles of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman,
Additional Community support
1. Amounts withheld in accordance with Article 3(2) and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 shall be used for the payment of additional Community support provided for in Article 5(2) of that Regulation at the latest by the end of the third financial year following that during which they are withheld.
2. The additional Community support to one or more of the four measures referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 shall consist in a support granted:
(a) to additional beneficiaries of existing measures included in rural development programming documents as referred to in Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999; and/or,
(b) to additional measures to be included in rural development programming documents.
The percentage of Community contribution to such additional support shall be the same as that provided in the rural development programming document for the measure concerned.
3. A multiannual action undertaken by a beneficiary shall not be alternately funded one year by the Community support as referred to in Article 33(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1750/1999 and another year by the additional Community support provided for in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999.
Transmission of information to the Commission
1. Member States shall communicate to the Commission in respect of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999, and in respect of each of the sectors listed in the Annex to that Regulation:

(b) a detailed description of the appropriate environmental measures envisaged by Article 3(1) of that Regulation which they have taken in the light of the analysis referred to in point (a);
(c) a detailed description of the penalties which they have decided in accordance with Article 3(2) of that Regulation.
2. Where Member States choose to implement Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999, they shall communicate a detailed description of the measures adopted to this end.
3. Member States shall communicate a detailed description of any other measures adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999.
4. The descriptions referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall refer to all relevant legislation of the Member State and/or the Community. Member States shall communicate such national legislation to the Commission on request.
5. The communications referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall be made forthwith once the measures concerned have been adopted. For those measures adopted between 1 January 2000 and 31 July 2001, the communication shall be made by 30 September 2001.
6. Member States shall present each year, not later than 30 September, an update of the allocation, as additional Community support, of the amounts withheld in accordance with Article 3(2) and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999, together with the statement of expenditure under Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1750/1999.
Annual report
1. An annual progress report on the implementation of measures and penalties referred to in Article 2(1), (2) and (3), including an assessment of their effects, shall be submitted to the Commission by 30 April each year.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Member States which, at 1 January 1978, exempted the transactions listed in Annex X, Part B, may continue to exempt those transactions, in accordance with the conditions applying in the Member State concerned on that date; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) The United Kingdom has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point (9) of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the United Kingdom’s total VAT own resources base. The United Kingdom is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for this category of transactions. The United Kingdom should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2013, the United Kingdom is authorised to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC:
The supply of building land (point (9)).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,
Having regard to the application submitted to the Commission on 12 October 1993 by the Chariman of the Industry Advisory Board of the International Energy Agency (hereinafter: 'the IEA') for the benefit of all the IEA Reporting companies, pursuant to
Article 8
(2) of Regulation No 17, requesting renewal of the exemption under Article 85 (3) by Commission Decision 83/671/EEC (2),
Having regard to the publication (3) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17 of a summary of the concerted practices between oil companies which are needed to carry out the emergency oil allocation system of the International Energy Program ('IEP') and relevant changes which have occured since Decision 83/671/EEC, in which the Commission granted an exemption pursuant to Article 85 (3) for those concerted practices, for a period ending on 31 December 1993,
Having consulted the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Pratices and Dominant Positions pursuant to Article 10 (3) of Regulation No 17,
Whereas:
I. THE FACTS (1) The IEP results from an agreement signed on 18 November 1974. 23 countries, members of the OECD, now participate in the IEP. The objectives of the IEP are set out in Commission Decision 83/671/EEC. The IEP aims at responding to oil supply disruptions by ensuring the availability of oil stocks for use in emergencies, and by restraining demand and allocating available supplies among the participating countries on a equitable basis according to an allocation process.
The implementation of the IEP is described in the Notice (4) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17 and in Decision 83/671/EEC.
(2) Since Decision 83/671/EEC, the following changes have occurred:
(a) At present 18 oil companies and one association of oil companis (compared to 16 oil companies and two associations in December 1983) are members of the Industry Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB assists the IEA in ensuring the effective operation of emergency measures.
The oil companies and the association are all members of the group of 'reporting companies' of which there are at present 41.
(b) Some changs have occurred in the allocation process. There have been two amendments to the IEA's Emergency Management Manual, which was last published in December 1982. One of the two amendments clarified the intention that, in oil transactions which might occur as part of the activation and operation of the IEA's Emergency Sharing System, prices should be based on conditions prevailing for comparable commercial transactions. The other admendment sets out procedures for resolving, during an emergency, any large discrepancies in the oil supply data submitted by different member countries.
(c) Another important new contingency arrangement, which does not affect directly the Emergency Sharing System, is the Agency's co-called 'Coordinated Emergency Response Measures' (CERM) mechanism. Under the CERM, IEA member governments have agreed to give early consideration, during an energy crisis, to the coordinated use of their oil stocks and to additional demand-restraint measures.
(d) Concerning the types of activities which constitute part of the allocation process (Types 1, 2, 3), there have been changes related to Type 1 and Type 2 activities. In order to take into account the changes in the structure of the oil market, as well as technical improvements in the computer capabilities available to the Secretariat for crisis-management purposes, the Emergency Sharing System was improved in 1986. It was decided to extend the prescribed period for the solicitation, processing and implementation of 'closed-loop voluntary offers' by reporting companies and non-reporting companies for the re-arrangement of oil supplies in response to an emergency and to accelerate the process for the approval of those offers by the Allocation Coordinator. Thus, under the 'Wider Window' proposal 'closed-loop voluntary offers' can be submitted to the ISAG (Industry Supply Advisory Group) or the IEA Secretariat at nearly any time during an allocation cycle, not just at specified times.
(e) As to the situation in the oil market, there have been significant developments over the past ten years. During the 1970s, the OECD countries were able to reduce their energy dependence through the reduction of consumption, the exploitation of new areas (Alaska, North Sea) and the development of other sources of energy (nuclear, renewable energy). But since 1985 there has been a trend towards increased oil imports. This is likely to continue, with the IEA forecasting that coverage of OECD demand by net imports will rise from 60 per cent or so at present to possibly 70 per cent during the first decade of the next century. Most of the increase in oil imports will come from the major producing regions, which are subject to an endemic political uncertainty, thus increasing OECD countries' vulnerability to oil supply disruptions. The IEA will, therefore, need to maintain, update and periodicallytest its emergency response capabilities.

(3) The application for an extension of the exemption, for a further period of no less than the years from 1 January 1994 onwards, is motivated by the need to allow oil companies to cooperate in carrying out the Emergency Sharing System. Indeed the Emergency Sharing System relies heavily upon the oil industry to coordinate any necessary redistribution of the available oil supplies, in accordance with the sharing formula set out in the IEP Agreement.
II. COMMENTS FROM THIRD PARTIES (4) Following the publication of the notice pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, no comments were received from third parties.
III. LEGAL ASSESSMENT A. Article 85 (1) (5) For the same reasons as those previously outlined in Decision 83/671/EEC, to which reference should be made, the consent of the oil companies to cooperate with one another and the IFA in the framework of the IEP and in the operation of the IEA emergency oil allocation system is a concerted practice which falls within the scope of Article 85 (1), notably because:
(a) The concertation between the oil copanies has the object and effect of taking into account and balancing allocation rights and obligations. This means in some cases directing oil to destinations where it would not have gone had the IEA system not been activated.
(b) The oil companies' behaviour when exchanging information within the framework of the IEA may alter the market conditions from what they would be without such exchanges of information.
(c) The possible effects of thse restrictions on competition may be appreciable. The undertakings start to concert on allocation actions when a 7 % shortfall in oil supplies available to all IEA countries or to one of them has occurred or may reasonably be expected to occur. In the event of activation, several million tonnes of oil may have to be redistributed each month.
(d) The joint effort of the oil companies to redistribute available oil may have an appreciable effect on trade between Member States. The usual flow of oil supplies may be modified in order to meet allocation rights and obligations according to the situation of each participating country.
B. Article 85 (3) (6) On the basis of the information at its disposal, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the advantages of the concerted practice of the oil companies continue to constitute a sufficient basis for the application of Article 85 (3). The changes which have occurred since 1983 do not affect the validity of the exemption. They aim at improving the reallocation process and take into account the changes in the structure of the oil market and the technical improvements.
(a) The concerted practice does contribute to improving the distribution of the relevant goods and to promoting economic progress by reducing the inconvenience and sharing the difficulties in case of supply disruptions.
(b) The concerted practice allows the consumer a fair share of the resulting benefit, as the concerted practice is experted to minimize the impact of the shortage of the general economny of the participating countries, with an immediate benefit to consumers.
(c) The concertation between companies to achieve the allocation needed does not go beyond what is necessary for the fulfilment of the objectives of the IEP.
(d) The concerted practice does not afford the undertakings the possibility of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the products in question. Competition between the oil companies will continue in all other respects apart from their obligation to observe allocation rights and to fulfil allocation obligations.
IV. ARTICLES 6 AND 8 OF REGULATION No 17 (7) The appliction for renewal of the exemption granted by Decision 83/671/EEC was submitted by the Chariman of the IAB before 31 December 1993, the date the Decision expires. Pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation No 17, this Decision should take effect from 1 January 1994.
(8) Article 3 of Decision 83/671/EEC obliged the oil companies to inform the Commission at the earliest possible moment of:
1. any change adopted by the Governing Board or National Emergency Sharing Organizations to the rules governing the emergency oil allocation system and the participation of oil companies therein;
2. any consultations with oil companies provided for in Article 19 (6) and (7) or Article 55 (3) of the International Energy Program or submission by the companies to the Interantional Energy Agency or national governments pursuant to the foregoing rules of data such as that on imports, exports, indigenous production and investories;
3. the declaration of the beginning of any emergency;
4. any proposals or arrangements for a test run of the emergency oil allocation system or of the data system.
The exemption was granted subject to the obligation that the Commission should have access for its representatives to any consultations with oil companies provided for in Article 19 (6) and (7) or Article 55 (3) of the International Energy Program which may take place, and to any meeting of the Industry Supply Advisory Group or its subgroups or of the Industry Advisory Board or its subcommittes which might take place when the emergency oil allocation system was being implemented or when test runs were being carried out. The Commission's representatives were to have made available to them upon request all documents and other information in connection with such consultations, meetings and test runs in the possession or under the control of any company to which the Decision applied, and all documents and other information in such possession or control in connection with Type 2 and Type 3 activities and with Type 1 activities that were reported to the Commission.
The reporting requirements have been fulfilled throughout the period of exemption and should be imposed again for the extended duration of the exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) of Regualtion No. 17.
(9) Pursuant to Article 8 (1) of Regulation No 17, a Commission decision in application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty must be issued for a specified period. In the present case an extension of the Decision for a period of ten years appears appropriate.
The exemption granted by Decision 83/671/EEC is hereby until 31 December 2003.
Exemption is granted subjected to the same reporting requirements as are specified in Article 3 of Decision 83/671/EEC.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 1994.

(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 requires non-participating Member States that contemplate paying expenditure resulting from legal instruments relating to the common agricultural policy in euro to take measures to ensure that the use of the euro does not provide a systematic advantage compared with the use of national currency.
(2) On 24 February 2000, the United Kingdom informed the Commission that it intended to make use of Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 and communicated the measures it contemplated taking to preventing any systematic advantage resulting from the use of the euro rather than the pound sterling. That communication was received on 29 February 2000. A new version of the Annex to the abovementioned communication was forwarded on 17 March 2000 and received on 21 March 2000.
(3) The measures communicated were approved in Commission Decision 2000/328/EC of 17 April 2000 on the payment in euro by the United Kingdom of certain expenditure resulting from legal instruments relating to the common agricultural policy(2).
(4) On 28 November 2000, the United Kingdom informed the Commission of its intention to amend the abovementioned measures. That communication was received on the same date.
(5) The measures planned by the United Kingdom can be summarised as follows:
- operators will be paid the amounts in euro laid down in Community legislation; operators will bear the full exchange-rate risk arising from subsequent conversion into sterling,
- operators must make a standing commitment; they must apply three months in advance to be paid in euro; they are then bound for a minimum of one year; three months advance notice must also be given to withdraw from the arrangement; new payments in euro are then only possible after a one-year waiting period,
- operators may opt for payment in euro for all or any of the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision.
(6) Initially the United Kingdom intends limiting payments in euro to market support measures that are entirely financed by the EAGGF as listed in the Annex to the communication.
(7) Article 12(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2452/2000(4), states that the Commission has two months in which to approve the measures communicated.
(8) The measures that the United Kingdom contemplates taking are in line with the objective, namely to prevent a systematic advantage resulting from the use of the euro rather than the national currency.
(9) For that reason, the Commission Decision of 17 April 2000 on the payment in euro by the United Kingdom of certain expenditure resulting from legal instruments relating to the common agricultural policy must be replaced by this Decision,
The measures communicated by the United Kingdom concerning the payment in euro of expenditure resulting from the legal instruments relating to the common agricultural policy listed in the Annex hereto are hereby approved.
Commission Decision 2000/328/EC is repealed.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 17(2) of Directive 2003/48/EC sets out the conditions for application of the provisions of the Directive from 1 January 2005.
(2) In accordance with Article 17(3) of Directive 2003/48/EC the Council, on the basis of a report by the Commission, concluded before 1 July 2004 that the conditions set out in Article 17(2) of Directive 2003/48/EC would not be met, having regard to the dates of entry into force of the relevant measures in the third countries and dependent or associated territories concerned.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,

(3) On 23 January 2012 the Council adopted Decision 2012/91/EU (3) on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Protocol.
(4) The method for allocating the fishing opportunities among the Member States should be defined for the duration of the Protocol.
(5) In accordance with Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 of 29 September 2008 concerning authorisations for fishing activities of Community fishing vessels outside Community waters and the access of third country vessels to Community waters (4), if it appears that the fishing opportunities allocated to the Union under a Fisheries Partnership Agreement are not fully utilised, the Commission is to inform the Member States concerned. The absence of a reply within deadlines to be set by the Council is to be considered as confirmation that the vessels of the Member State concerned are not making full use of their fishing opportunities in the given period. It is necessary to set such deadlines.
(6) Since the Protocol to the Agreement expired on 31 December 2011, this Regulation should apply from 1 February 2012,
1. The fishing opportunities set out in the Protocol shall be allocated among the Member States as follows:
(a) tuna purse seiners:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (4), Member States are to take the measures necessary to satisfy themselves that transactions financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) are actually carried out and are executed correctly, to prevent and deal with irregularities and to recover sums lost as a result of irregularities or negligence;
Whereas, in its special report on the system of payment of agricultural export refunds (5), and in its annual report concerning the financial year 1987 (6), the Court of Auditors drew attention to a number of shortcomings in certain Member States in the monitoring of agricultural products for which refunds or other amounts are granted on export;
Whereas the organization which, in principle, would afford the best safeguards without giving rise to economic constraints and administrative costs outweighing the prospective gains for Community finances would be one which combined physical monitoring on export and the auditing of accounts;
Whereas, in order to improve and harmonize the measures taken by the Member States, a Community monitoring system should be set up;
Whereas such a monitoring system must be based in particular on physical spot checks of goods at the time of export, including goods exported under a simplified procedure, and on the scrutiny of the payment application files by the paying agencies; whereas the audit to be conducted ex post facto in the undertakings concerned by the competent bodies is governed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89 of 21 December 1989 on scrutiny by Member States of transactions forming part of the system of financing by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund and repealing Directive 77/435/EEC (7);
Whereas the number of physical checks, including laboratory analyses where these prove necessary must be increased in view of the importance of agricultural refunds within the Community budget,
1. This Regulation sets down certain procedures for monitoring whether operations conferring entitlement to the payment of refunds on and all other amounts in respect of export transactions have been actually carried out and executed correctly.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, the term 'goods' means products in respect of which the amounts referred to in paragraph 1 are paid in accordance with Community provisions adopted within the framework of the common agricultural policy.
Member States shall carry out:
(a) physical checks on goods in accordance with Article 3, at the time the customs export formalities are completed and before authorization is given for the goods in question to be exported, on the basis of documents submitted in support of the export declaration, and
(b) scrutiny of the documents in the payment application file in accordance with Article 4.
1. Without prejudice to any specific provisions which require more extensive checks, the physical checks referred to in Article 2 (a) must:
(a) take the form of spot checks conducted frequently and without prior warning;
(b) in any event, relate to not less than 5 % of the export declarations in respect of which applications are submitted for the amounts specified in Article 1 (1).
2. In accordance with the detailed rules to be determined under the procedure referred to in Article 6, the rate mentioned in 1 (b) shall apply:
- per customs office,
- per calendar year, and
- per product sector.
Under the same procedure, a scrutiny rate greater than 5 % may, by way of exception, be fixed for specific cases and periods, on the basis of objective findings of an increased risk of fraud.
In that case, the rate mentioned in 1 (b) shall be deemed to be satisfied for a customs office when, taking into account the checks carried out in the said specific cases, the minimum rate of 5 % has been reached for all sectors taken together during the calendar year in question.
3. In cases where ordinary visual inspection fails to establish that the goods correspond to the description given in the refunds nomenclature, and where classification or the quality of the goods requires very precise information about the ingredients thereof, the customs authorities shall verify that description according to the nature of the product by using all the senses or by applying physical measures that may go as far as submitting the goods for analysis by laboratories specially equipped for the purpose.
4. The checks referred to in this Article shall be carried out without prejudice to any measures which the customs authorities may take to ensure that the goods leave the customs territory in the same state as when the export authorization was granted.
Paying agencies shall scrutinize, on the basis of the payment application files and other available information, in particular on the basis of the documents relating to the export and the comments of the customs services, all the evidence in these files adduced to justify the payment of the amounts in question.
Member States shall take steps to coordinate the controls imposed on individual operators and combine the verifications provided for in Articles 3 and 4 and in Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89.
Sub coordinated controls shall be carried out, on the initiative or at the request either of the Commission staff or of the customs authorities making the physical checks or the competent authorities scrutinizing the payment application file or auditing the accounts ex post facto.
Any provisions required for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (1) or, as appropriate, the corresponding Articles of the other Regulations on the common organization of markets.
They may relate in particular to:
- the method for calculating the minimum percentage referred to in Article 3 (1) (b) and particular detailed rules and/or derogations therefrom with regard to specific situations,
- the goods which are to be submitted for analysis under Article 3 (3),
- the coordination of controls between the competent departments of the Member States and the Commission staff.
1. In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6, transitional measures shall be adopted with regard to the application of Article 3 (1) and (2).
2. Before 1 January 1992, the Commission shall submit a progress report on the application of this Regulation to the Council and, in the light of experience gained, shall propose any necessary amendments to the monitoring system provided for under this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

DIRECTIVE 2009/62/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 13 July 2009
relating to the space for mounting the rear registration plate of two or three-wheel motor vehicles
(Codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 93/94/EEC of 29 October 1993 relating to the space for mounting the rear registration plate of two or three-wheel vehicles (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Directive 93/94/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided for in Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles as replaced by Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (5) and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of two or three-wheel vehicles as regards the space for mounting the rear registration plate. Those technical prescriptions concern the approximation of the laws of the Member States to allow for the EC type-approval procedure provided for in Directive 2002/24/EC to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle. Consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 2002/24/EC relating to vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive.
(3) The objective of this Directive is not to harmonise the dimensions of registration plates used in the various Member States. The Member States should therefore ensure that protruding registration plates do not constitute a danger for users, without, however, this requiring any modification with regard to vehicle construction.
(4) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,
This Directive shall apply to the space for mounting the rear registration plate of all types of motor vehicles as defined in Article 1 of Directive 2002/24/EC.
The procedure for the granting of EC component type-approval in respect of the space for mounting the rear registration plate for a type of two or three-wheel motor vehicle and the conditions governing the free movement of such vehicles shall be as laid down in Chapters II and III of Directive 2002/24/EC.
The amendments necessary to adapt to technical progress the requirements of Annex I shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2) of Directive 2002/24/EC.
1. Member States shall not, on grounds relating to the space for mounting the rear registration plate:
— refuse, in respect of a type of two or three-wheel motor vehicle, to grant EC type-approval,
— prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of two or three-wheel motor vehicles,
if the space for mounting the rear registration plate complies with the requirements of this Directive.
2. Member States shall refuse to grant EC type-approval for any type of two or three-wheel motor vehicle on grounds relating to the space for mounting the rear registration plate if the requirements of this Directive are not fulfilled.
3. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Directive 93/94/EEC, as amended by the Directive listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex III.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2894/94 of 28 November 1994 concerning arrangements for implementing the Agreement on the European Economic Area (1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Protocol 31 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (2) (the ‘EEA Agreement’) contains provisions and arrangements concerning cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms.
(2) It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to include Regulation (EC) No 401/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the European Environment Agency and the European Environment Information and Observation Network (3).
(3) It is appropriate to extend the cooperation of the Contracting Parties to the EEA Agreement to the field of sport.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 401/2009 repeals Council Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90 of 7 May 1990 on the establishment of the European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network (4) which is incorporated into the EEA Agreement. The EEA Agreement should therefore be amended to take account of Regulation (EC) No 401/2009.
(5) Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The position of the Union in the EEA Joint Committee should be based on the attached draft Decision,
The position to be taken by the European Union in the EEA Joint Committee on the proposed amendment to Protocol 31 to the EEA Agreement, on cooperation in specific fields outside the four freedoms, shall be based on the draft Decision of the EEA Joint Committee attached to this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
Having regard to 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(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(4), and in particular Article 173(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 173 to 177 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provide that the Commission shall periodically establish unit values for the products referred to in the classification in Annex 26 to that Regulation.
(2) The result of applying the rules and criteria laid down in the abovementioned Articles to the elements communicated to the Commission in accordance with Article 173(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is that unit values set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be established in regard to the products in question,
The unit values provided for in Article 173(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 are hereby established as set out in the table in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1234/2009
of 15 December 2009
opening Community tariff quotas for 2010 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Articles 144(1) and 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Community tariff quotas for sheepmeat and goatmeat should be opened for 2010. The duties and quantities should be fixed in accordance with the respective international agreements in force during the year 2010.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 312/2003 of 18 February 2003 implementing for the Community the tariff provisions laid down in the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (2) has provided for an additional bilateral tariff quota of 2 000 tonnes with a 10 % annual increase of the original quantity to be opened for product code 0204 from 1 February 2003. Therefore, a further 200 tonnes shall be added to the GATT/WTO quota for Chile and both quotas should continue to be managed in the same way during 2010.
(3) Certain quotas are defined for a period running from 1 July of a given year to 30 June of the following year. Since imports under this Regulation should be managed on a calendar-year basis, the corresponding quantities to be fixed for the calendar year 2010 with regard to the quotas concerned are the sum of half of the quantity for the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 and half of the quantity for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.
(4) A carcass-weight equivalent needs to be fixed in order to ensure a proper functioning of the Community tariff quotas.
(5) Quotas of the sheepmeat and goatmeat products should, by way of derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 of 26 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 as regards the import and export of products in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector (3), be managed in conformity with Article 144(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. This should be done in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4).
(6) Tariff quotas under this Regulation should be regarded initially as non-critical within the meaning of Article 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 when managed under the first-come, first-served system. Therefore, customs authorities should be authorised to waive the requirement for security in respect of goods initially imported under those quotas in accordance with Articles 308c(1) and 248(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. Due to the particularities of the transfer from one management system to the other, Article 308c(2) and (3) of that Regulation should not apply.
(7) It should be clarified which kind of proof certifying the origin of products has to be provided by operators in order to benefit from the tariff quotas under the first-come, first-served system.
(8) When sheepmeat products are presented by operators to the customs authorities for import, it is difficult for those authorities to establish whether they originate from domestic sheep or other sheep, which determines the application of different duty rates. It is therefore appropriate to provide that the proof of origin contains a clarification to that end.
(9) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1150/2008 of 19 November 2008 opening Community tariff quotas for 2009 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat (5) becomes obsolete at the end of the year 2009. For this reason, it should be repealed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
This Regulation opens Community import tariff quotas for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2010.
The customs duties applicable to the products under the quotas referred to in Article 1, the CN codes, the countries of origin, listed by country group, and the order numbers are set out in the Annex.
1. The quantities, expressed in carcass-weight equivalent, for the import of products under the quotas referred to in Article 1, shall be those as laid down in the Annex.
2. For the purpose of calculating the quantities of ‘carcase weight equivalent’ referred to in paragraph 1 the net weight of sheep and goat products shall be multiplied by the following coefficients:
(a) for live animals: 0,47;
(b) for boneless lamb and boneless goatmeat of kid: 1,67;
(c) for boneless mutton, boneless sheep and boneless goatmeat other than of kid and mixtures of any of these: 1,81;
(d) for bone-in products: 1,00.
‘Kid’ shall mean goat of up to 1 year old.
By way of derogation from Title II (A) and (B) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95, the tariff quotas set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 from 1 January to 31 December 2010. Article 308c(2) and (3) of that Regulation shall not apply. No import licences shall be required.
1. In order to benefit from the tariff quotas set out in the Annex, a valid proof of origin issued by the competent authorities of the third country concerned together with a customs declaration for release for free circulation for the goods concerned shall be presented to the Community customs authorities.
The origin of products subject to tariff quotas other than those resulting from preferential tariff agreements shall be determined in accordance with the provisions in force in the Community.
2. The proof of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall be as follows:
(a) in the case of a tariff quota which is part of a preferential tariff agreement, it shall be the proof of origin laid down in that agreement;
(b) in the case of other tariff quotas, it shall be a proof established in accordance with Article 47 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 and, in addition to the elements provided for in that Article, the following data:
— the CN code (at least the first four digits),
— the order number or order numbers of the tariff quota concerned,
— the total net weight per coefficient category as provided for in Article 3(2) of this Regulation;
(c) in the case of a country whose quota falls under points (a) and (b) and are merged, it shall be the proof referred to in point (a).
Where the proof of origin referred to in point (b) is presented as supporting document for only one declaration for release for free circulation, it may contain several order numbers. In all other cases, it shall only contain one order number.
Regulation (EC) No 1150/2008 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 December 2006
amending Decision 2005/393/EC as regards restricted zones in relation to bluetongue
(notified under document number C(2006) 6970)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/28/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(3) On 20 November 2006 Spain informed the Commission that serotype 4 virus has been detected as circulating in a peripheral area of restricted zone E. Consequently that zone should be extended, taking into account of the data available on the ecology of the vector and the current meteorological situation.
(4) On 21 November 2006 Germany informed the Commission of new outbreaks of bluetongue in Lower Saxony. In view of those findings, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in Germany.
(5) Following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue in early November 2006 by Italy, due to a new serotype, by Decision 2006/858/EC, a new restricted zone G has been added to Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC to include the three concerned provinces of southern Sardinia. However, the reference to this zone in the respective provisions of Decision 2005/393/EC has not been added. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, the list of zones referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2005/393/EC should be completed.
(6) Decision 2005/393/EC should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1. The first paragraph of Article 2 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
