THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC 1 of 18 December 1967 on the common organization of the market in sugar, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/71 2 and in particular Article 6 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 206/68 3 of 20 February 1968 laying down outline provisions for contracts and inter-trade agreements on the purchase of beet lays down provisions regarding the price for beet to be paid to beet sellers by the sugar manufacturers;
Whereas an increase in the intervention price for sugar from one marketing year to the next may lead to an increase in the value of stocks held at the time of transition between those two marketing years, unless for those stocks the increase has been made subject to a levy ; whereas it is reasonable to give the beet seller the benefit of the increase in the intervention price for sugar resulting from the increase in the price for beet and to supplement Regulation (EEC) No 206/68 accordingly;
The following Article 8a shall be added to Regulation (EEC) No 206/68:
"Article 8a
1. Contracts shall provide for an additional price to be paid to the seller where (a) there is an increase in the price for beet at the time of transition from one marketing year to the next, and
(b) the increase in the intervention price for sugar resulting from the increase in the price for beet is not, for the stocks held at the time of transition, made subject to a levy.
The additional price shall be calculated per 100 kilogrammes of white sugar by multiplying the increase referred to in the first subparagraph under (b) by a coefficient equal to the ratio of - the quantities of sugar produced within the maximum quota which have not been carried forward within the meaning of Article 32 of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC and which are in stock at the time of transition ; to
- the quantities of sugar produced by the manufacturer during the previous marketing year within his maximum quota which have not been carried forward within the meaning of Article 32 of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC.
2. Inter-trade agreement may derogate from the provisions of paragraph 1.
Contracts shall mention the possibility of such derogation."

Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established of certain textile products originating in third countries not covered by quantitative limits by virtue of a bilateral textile agreement;
Whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products specified in the Annex and originating in the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as 'China'), in the Republic of Indonesia (hereinafter referred to as 'Indonesia') and in the Republic of India (hereinafter referred to as 'India') have exceeded the level referred to in Article 10 (1) in conjunction with Annex IX of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, on 28 October 1994 China, Indonesia and India were notified of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;
Whereas it is appropriate to apply to imports into the Community of products for which quantitative limits are introduced the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to imports of products subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex V of the said Regulation;
Whereas the products in question exported from China, Indonesia and India between 28 October 1994 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits which have been introduced;

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to decide in respect both of bovine animals and swine and of fresh meat whether a country or part of a country may be included in the list, particular account is taken of the criteria set out in Article 3 (2) of Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Greenland may be considered to satisfy these criteria for fresh meat of bovine animals, sheep, goats, domestic solipeds and wild cloven-hoofed animals excluding swine; whereas it is necessary to supplement, by the addition of Greenland and as regards the abovementioned categories of fresh meat, the list referred to in Article 3 (1) of Directive 72/462/EEC adopted by the Council and contained in the Annex to its Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorize imports of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat (3);

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 1 March 1990
terminating the review of anti-dumping measures applying to imports of certain glass textile fibres (rovings) originating in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic and confirming the expiry of the said measures
(90/85/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 9 and 15 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Previous procedure
(1) In November 1982 the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities initiating an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain glass textile fibres (rovings) originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic and Japan (2).
In December 1983 a definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed with regard to imports from Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic (3) and an undertaking was accepted on behalf of Japanese exporters with regard to products originating in Japan (4).
(2) In July 1988 the Commission published a notice announcing the imminent expiry of the measures in question (5) pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
No request for review concerning the undertaking accepted on behalf of the Japanese exporters was received and the said undertaking duly expired on 16 December 1988 (6).
B. Review requests and initiation
(3) In September 1988 the Commission received a request for a review of the measures concerning imports from Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic lodged by the Association des Producteurs de Fibres de Verre EuropĂŠen (APFE) on behalf of Community producers representing almost all Community production. The request claimed that the expiry of the anti-dumping measures for imports from Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic would lead again to injury or threat of injury. The main basis of these allegations was the continuous rise of imports at low prices and the risk that expiry of these anti-dumping measures might contribute to a reduction in the current capacity utilization and competitiveness of the European industry.
(4) The evidence provided was considered sufficient and the Commission accordingly announced by notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, its intention to carry out a review of anti-dumping measures of certain glass textile fibres (rovings) originating in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic (1) and the initiation of that review (2). The investigation period covered the calendar year 1988. During the investigation the parties concerned were able to make known their views and provide all information necessary for the determination of injury related to the expiry of the measures. Pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 the measures remained in force pending the outcome of the investigation.
C. Product
(5) The products concerned are continuous glass textile fibres (rovings) falling within CN code 7019 10 51 previously Nimexe code 70.20-70.
D. Results of the injury investigation
(6) The investigation carried out by the Commission services examined the question of whether imports of the goods in question would lead again to injury or threat of injury to Community producers if the current anti-dumping measures were no longer in force.
An analysis of the causality between the non-renewal of the anti-dumping measures and the recurrence of injury was, therefore, made by evaluating the present situation and by assessing the foreseeable recurrence of injury or threat of injury after expiry of the said measures.
(7) With regard to the present situation it was found that there had been a large increase in demand in the rovings sector due mainly to more applications being found for composite reinforcements in the automotive industry. This favourable market situation was reflected in the Community industry by a higher capacity utilization, increased production, consumption, sales and market share, steadiness of employment and ongoing or imminent investment programmes.
On the other hand imports from the countries in question have increased at a lower rate than the consumption in the Community and consequently the market share of Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic in the Community market has decreased. It was also found that prices of the products in question originating in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic had steadily increased and were always well above the variable duty established in 1983.
(8) Concerning the foreseeable recurrence of injury or threat of injury after expiry of the anti-dumping measures, the consequences of expiry of the measures were considered in the light of their effectiveness during the period that the duty was in force.
(9) It was established during the investigation that exporters in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic did not only respect the minimum price established in 1983 but continuously exceeded it and increased their export prices between 3 - 5 % annually. It is reasonable therefore, to assume that expiry of the anti-dumping duty would not, on its own, have been enough to substantially alter the situation which prevailed during the five year period nor would it be enough to change the present situation. The anti-dumping measures originally caused exporters in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic to revise their export prices and due to the overall shortages on the reinforcement market, expiry of the duty should not lead to prices falling.
(10) Finally with regard to the foreseeable recurrence of injury or threat of injury after expiry of the anti-dumping measures it was confirmed that no additional capacities in the said two countries were to be expected in the near future.
(11) In view of the above, it was concluded that no change in the pattern of imports from Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic to the Community of the products in question could be expected in relation to the expiry of the anti-dumping measures.
E. Withdrawal of review requested
(12) The complainant advised the Commission by letter dated 4 December 1989 that it is withdrawing the request for review mentioned under 3.
F. Termination
(13) In these circumstances the Commission considers that the review proceeding should be terminated and that the measures remaining in force pending the outcome of the review should lapse forthwith,
The review of anti-dumping measures concerning imports of certain glass textile fibres (rovings) falling within CN code 7019 10 51 originating in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic is hereby terminated.
The anti-dumping duty which remained in force pending the outcome of the review shall lapse with effect from the day following the publication of this Decision in the Official Journal of the European Communities. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1298/2002(4), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 17 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, a countervailing charge must be levied on imported products when the free-at-frontier offer price for those products plus customs duties is lower than their reference price; whereas the countervailing charge is equal to the difference between the reference price and the free-at-frontier offer price plus customs duties;
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 344/79 of 5 February 1979 laying down general rules for fixing the reference price and levying the countervailing charge for wine (3) provides that any wines from third countries, if not included among the wines for which a special reference price is fixed, shall be subject to the countervailing charge applicable to red or white wines, as appropriate;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3400/83 (4) fixed the reference prices for the period 16 December 1983 to 31 August 1984 in the wine sector;
Whereas, in respect of each product for which a reference price is fixed, a free-at-frontier offer price for all imports is determined on the basis of all the available information; whereas the nature of that information is specified in Article 1 (1), (2) and (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 of 29 May 1970 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1297/77 (6);
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 1 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70, free-at-frontier offer prices must be established on the basis of the most advantageous purchasing possibilities for the products in question; whereas in establishing these prices no account is to be taken of information concerning supplies which have no economic effect on the market, in particular owing to the small quantities involved;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70, the prices must be adjusted if they do not apply free-at-Community-frontier or to a product corresponding to the one whose guide price was taken into account for fixing the reference price;
Whereas the countervailing charge for a product must be fixed per degree/hectolitre or per hectolitre according to whether the reference price for that product is fixed per degree/hectolitre or per hectolitre;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70, the countervailing charge is altered when an appreciable variation in the free-at-frontier offer price is recorded;
Whereas the prices currently to be seen for wine imported in bottles generally stand above the level necessitating the application of a countervailing charge; whereas the countervailing charge for wine imported in bottles should therefore be fixed at 0 ECU; whereas, since the quotations for the other products as well as for wine imported in bulk have not undergone any change, the countervailing charges currently in effect for such products and such wine should be extended;
Whereas this Regulation is intended to replace Commission Regulation (EEC) No 167/81 (7); whereas that Regulation should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. The countervailing charges applicable in the wine sector shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
2. Regulation (EEC) No 167/81 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by certain Member States,
Whereas production of reproductive material of the species set out in the Annex is at present insufficient in all Member States for which the Council has stated the equivalence of the reproductive material there harvested, with the result that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met;
Whereas third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive;
Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of reproductive material of the relevant species which satisfies less stringent requirements to cover the shortage of reproductive material satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/404/EEC;
Whereas, for genetic reasons, the reproductive material must be collected at places of origin within the natural range of the relevant species and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the identity of the material;
Whereas, furthermore, reproductive material should be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;
Whereas each of the Member States should furthermore be authorized to permit the marketing in its territory of seed which satisfy less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC, if the marketing of such material has been authorized in the other Member States pursuant to this Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Member States are authorized to permit the marketing in their territory of seed satisfying less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC, on the terms set out in the Annex hereto and on condition that the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected.
2. Member States are authorized to permit the marketing in their territory of plants produced in the Community from the abovementioned seed.
1. The proof referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be deemed to be furnished where the reproductive material is of the category 'source-identified reproductive material` as defined in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) scheme for the control of forest reproductive material moving in international trade, or of another category defined in that scheme.
2. Where the OECD scheme referred to in paragraph 1 is not used at the place of provenance of the reproductive material, other official evidence shall be admissible.
3. Where official evidence cannot be provided, Member States may accept other non-official evidence.
The Member States other than the applicant Member States are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in the Annex and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member States, the marketing in their territory of the seeds authorized to be marketed pursuant to this Decision.
The authorization provided for in Article 1 (1) in so far as it concerns the first placing of forest reproductive material on the market of the Community, shall expire on 30 November 1996. Such authorization, in so far as it concerns subsequent placing on the market of the Community, shall expire on 31 December 1998.
With regard to the first placing on the market of forest reproductive material, as referred to in Article 4, Member States shall, by 1 January 1997, notify the Commission of the quantities of such material satisfying less stringent requirements which have been approved for marketing in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

(notified under document C(2011) 2726)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/262/EU)
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 propisochlor.
(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 2 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 which provides for the non-inclusion of propisochlor.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as 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 Hungary, 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) Hungary 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 30 November 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 propisochlor to the Commission on 9 September 2010 (6) based on data submitted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 33/2008. 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 24 March 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for propisochlor.
(6) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns have been identified. In particular, it was not possible to perform a reliable consumer risk assessment and to conclude on a residue definition for propisochlor and its metabolites due to a lack of data on the toxicological relevance of several metabolites (M2 (7), M7 (8), M12 (9), M14 (10), M17 (11), M20 (12), M22 (13) and M35 (14). In addition, harmful effects on groundwater cannot be excluded for several metabolites (M1 (15), M2, M5 (16), M7 and M9 (17) of unknown toxicological and ecotoxicological relevance whose levels exceeded the maximum permissible concentration of 0,1 μg/l as laid down by Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended for human consumption (18) in several model scenarios for groundwater leaching. Finally, the data available were not sufficient to conclude on the soil, sediment and groundwater exposure for the major soil metabolite M9 and to finalise the risk assessment for aquatic organisms.
(7) The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the results of the focused peer review. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the applicant to submit comments on the draft review report. The applicant submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.
(8) However, despite the arguments put forward by the applicant, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and evaluated during the meetings of the Authority have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing propisochlor satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) Propisochlor should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of a further application for propisochlor pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(11) In the interest of clarity, the entry for propisochlor in the Annex to Decision 2008/941/EC should be deleted.
(12) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/941/EC accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Propisochlor shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing propisochlor are withdrawn by 27 October 2011;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing propisochlor are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 27 October 2012 at the latest.
In the Annex to Decision 2008/941/EC, the entry for ‘propisochlor’ is deleted.

of 30 June 1987
establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., var. capitata) and walnuts falling within subheadings ex 07.01 D II and 08.05 B of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the overseas countries and territories (1987)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the Arican, Caribbean and Pacific States and the overseas countries and territories (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1821/87 (2), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas Article 13 a of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 provides that, during the period 1 July to 30 September iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., var. capitata) of subheading ex 07.01 D II of the Common Customs Tariff and, during the period 1 July to 31 December 1987, walnuts of subheading 08.05 B of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States are admitted into the Community at progressively reduced rates of duty; whereas the benefit of the reduction in duties is limited to ceilings of 1 000 and 700 tonnes respectively, beyond which the customs duties actually applicable to third countries may be re-imposed;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff ceilings, customs duties are reduced progressively in accordance with fixed percentages for each product, during the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in Articles 75 and 268 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas for the period in question the preferential duty is egual to 81,8 % of the Common Customs Tariff rate;
Whereas by virtue of the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of the Decision of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers relating to anticipatory implementation of the protocol of accession of the Kingdom of Spain and of the Portuguese Republic to the Third ACP-EEC Convention (3), Spain and Portugal are to postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for fruit and vegetables falling within Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (5), until, respectively, 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990. Consequently the abovementioned tariff benefit does not apply in Spain and Portugal.
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible re-establishment of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to re-establish customs tariff duties if one of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of the products, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States, and the overseas countries and territories, which are listed in the Annex, shall in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, be subject to ceilings and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first subparagraph, their tariff headings, the customs duties applicable, the periods of validity and the levels of the ceilings are set out in the said Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which customs duties are re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, as defined in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall forward to the Commission, not later than the 15th day of each month, statements of the amounts set off during te preceding month. They shall, if the Commission so requests, make up such statements for periods of 10 days and forward them within five clear days of expiry of the preceding 10-day period.
The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1987.

Whereas it was not possible to conclude amendment of the existing protocols by 1 January 1996; whereas, consequently, the measures provided for in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 1917/95 should be extended for 1996,
The measures provided for in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 1917/95 are hereby extended to the period from 1 January to 30 June 1996.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 2001.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 28 October 2008
on transitional provisions for the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank following the introduction of the euro in Slovakia
(ECB/2008/14)
(2008/892/EC)
THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘ESCB Statute’), and in particular Article 19.1 and the first indent of Article 47.2 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank (1),
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 of the European Central Bank of 12 September 2003 on the application of minimum reserves (ECB/2003/9) (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (3),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (4), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 6(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 of the European Central Bank of 22 November 2001 concerning the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (ECB/2001/13) (5),
Whereas:
(1) The adoption of the euro by Slovakia on 1 January 2009 means that credit institutions and branches of credit institutions located in Slovakia will be subject to reserve requirements from that date.
(2) The integration of these entities into the minimum reserve system of the Eurosystem requires the adoption of transitional provisions in order to ensure smooth integration without creating a disproportionate burden for credit institutions in participating Member States, including Slovakia.
(3) Article 5 of the ESCB Statute in conjunction with Article 10 of the Treaty establishing the European Community implies an obligation for Member States to design and implement at national level all the appropriate measures to collect the statistical information needed to fulfil the ECB’s statistical reporting requirements and to ensure timely preparation in the field of statistics to adopt the euro,
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision, the terms ‘institution’, ‘reserve requirement’, ‘maintenance period’, ‘reserve base’, and ‘participating Member State’ have the same meaning as in Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in Slovakia
1. In derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), a transitional maintenance period shall run from 1 January 2009 to 20 January 2009 for institutions located in Slovakia.
2. The reserve base of each institution located in Slovakia for the transitional maintenance period shall be defined in relation to elements of its balance sheet as at 31 October 2008. Institutions located in Slovakia shall report their reserve base to Národná banka Slovenska in accordance with the ECB’s reporting framework for money and banking statistics, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13). Institutions located in Slovakia that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) shall calculate a reserve base for the transitional maintenance period on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2008.
3. In respect of the transitional maintenance period, either an institution located in Slovakia or Národná banka Slovenska shall calculate such institution’s minimum reserves. The party that calculates the minimum reserves shall submit its calculation to the other party allowing sufficient time for the latter to verify it and submit revisions. The calculated minimum reserves, including any revisions thereof, if applicable, shall be confirmed by the two parties at the latest on 9 December 2008. If the notified party does not confirm the amount of minimum reserves by 9 December 2008, it shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the calculated amount applies for the transitional maintenance period.
4. The provisions of paragraphs 2 to 4 of Article 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Slovakia so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Slovakia, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in other participating Member States
1. The maintenance period applicable to institutions located in other participating Member States pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) shall remain unaffected by the existence of a transitional maintenance period for institutions located in Slovakia.
2. Institutions located in other participating Member States may decide to deduct from their reserve base for the maintenance periods from 10 December 2008 to 20 January 2009 and from 21 January to 10 February 2009 any liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovakia, even though at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements mentioned in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
3. Institutions located in other participating Member States that wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovakia shall, for the maintenance periods from 10 December 2008 to 20 January 2009 and from 21 January to 10 February 2009, calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet at 31 October and 30 November 2008 respectively and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Slovakia as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13), still showing institutions located in Slovakia as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13).
4. For the maintenance periods starting in December 2008, January and February 2009, institutions located in other participating Member States that benefit from the derogation under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) and wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Slovakia, shall calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheet as at 30 September 2008 and report a table in accordance with footnote 5 of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) showing institutions located in Slovakia as already subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) still showing institutions located in Slovakia as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13).
Entry into force and application
1. This Decision is addressed to Národná banka Slovenska, institutions located in Slovakia and institutions located in other participating Member States.
2. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 November 2008.
3. In the absence of specific provisions in this Decision, the provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) and (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) shall apply. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 23 September 2013
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 857/2010 imposing a definitive countervailing duty and collecting definitely the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in Iran, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) By Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 857/2010 (2) (‘the contested Regulation’), the Council imposed definitive countervailing duties ranging from EUR 42,34 per tonne to EUR 139,70 per tonne on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, according to the ISO Standard 1628-5, originating in Iran, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
(2) On 6 December 2010, the cooperating exporting producer in Pakistan, namely Novatex Ltd (‘Novatex’ or ‘the company concerned’), lodged an application at the General Court seeking the annulment of the contested Regulation in so far as it applied to the applicant (3).
(3) On 11 October 2012, the General Court in its judgment in Case T-556/10 (‘the General Court judgment’) found that the failure by the Commission and the Council to take account of the figure resulting from the revision of line 74 of the 2008 tax return of the company concerned, and the error resulting therefrom, affected the legality of Article 1 of the contested Regulation in so far as the definitive countervailing duty fixed by the Council exceeded the duty applicable in the absence of that error. Therefore, the General Court annulled Article 1 of the contested Regulation in so far as it concerned Novatex and in so far as the definitive countervailing duty exceeded that applicable in the absence of the error.
(4) In Case T-2/95 (4), the General Court held that, in cases where a proceeding consists of several administrative steps, the annulment of one of those steps does not annul the complete proceeding. This anti-subsidy proceeding is an example of such a multi-step proceeding. Consequently, the annulment of a part of the contested Regulation does not imply the annulment of the entire procedure prior to the adoption of that Regulation. Moreover, according to Article 266 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Union institutions are obliged to comply with the General Court judgment. This also implies the possibility to remedy the aspects of the contested Regulation which led to its partial annulment, while leaving unchanged the uncontested parts which are unaffected by the General Court judgment. It should be noted that all other findings made in the contested Regulation remain valid.
(5) Following the General Court judgment, on 17 May 2013 the Commission partially reopened the anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Pakistan (‘the notice’) (5). The reopening was limited in scope to the implementation of the General Court judgment in so far as Novatex is concerned.
(6) The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers, users and raw material suppliers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the Union industry of the partial reopening of the investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set out in the notice. No interested party requested to be heard.
(7) All parties concerned were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of an amended definitive countervailing duty on Novatex. They were granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to disclosure.
B. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL COURT JUDGMENT
1. Preliminary remark
(8) It is recalled that the reason for the partial annulment of the contested Regulation was that the Commission and the Council should have taken account of the fact that line 74 of the 2008 tax return of the company concerned had been revised.
2. Comments of interested parties
(9) Within the applicable deadline for submitting comments, the company concerned commented that following the General Court judgment, the definitive countervailing duty for imports into the Union of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in Pakistan should be reduced by 1,02 %. Novatex further stated that the countervailing duty applicable to Novatex should be set at 4,1 % or EUR 35,39 per tonne as from 1 June 2010 (the alleged date of entry into force of the provisional duty).
(10) No further comments of any substance on the partial re-opening were received.
3. Analysis of comments
(11) Having analysed the above comments, it is confirmed that the annulment of the contested Regulation with regard to Novatex, insofar as the definitive countervailing duty exceeded the duty applicable in the absence of the error identified by the Court, should not imply the annulment of the entire procedure prior to the adoption of that Regulation.
(12) The recalculation of Novatex’s subsidy duty rate, taking account of the revised line 74 of the company’s tax return, indeed results in a corrected amount of EUR 35,39 per tonne.
(13) The revised duty rate should indeed be applied retroactively, i.e. from the date of entry into force of the contested Regulation.
4. Conclusion
(14) Account has been taken of the comments made, and having analysed them it is concluded that the implementation of the General Court judgment should take the form of a revision of the countervailing duty rate applicable to Novatex, which should be reduced from EUR 44,02 per tonne to EUR 35,39 per tonne. As Novatex was the sole exporting producer of the product concerned in Pakistan during the investigation period, this revised duty rate applies to all imports from Pakistan. The revised duty rate should be applied retroactively, i.e. from the date of entry into force of the contested Regulation. However, as provided for by Article 2 of that Regulation, the amounts secured by way of provisional countervailing duty pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 473/2010 (6) on imports from Pakistan can only be definitively collected at the rate of the definitive countervailing duty of EUR 35,39 per tonne, imposed pursuant to the present amendment to Article 1 of the contested Regulation. The amounts secured in excess of the rate of the definitive countervailing duty should be released. In addition, for the sake of transparency, it should be pointed out that Regulation (EU) No 473/2010 entered into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, namely on 2 June 2010 (and not on 1 June 2010, as stated by Novatex).
(15) Customs authorities should be instructed to proceed with the reimbursement of the amount of duties paid in excess of the amount of EUR 35,39 per tonne for the imports concerned, in compliance with the applicable customs legislation.
C. DISCLOSURE
(16) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to implement the General Court judgment. All interested parties were given an opportunity to comment within the 10-day period prescribed in Article 30(5) of the basic Regulation.
(17) No comments of substance were received.
D. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES
(18) In light of the results of the partial reopening, it is considered appropriate to amend the countervailing duty applicable to imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, according to the ISO Standard 1628-5, originating in Pakistan to EUR 35,39 per tonne.
(19) This procedure does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by the contested Regulation will expire, namely 30 September 2015,
1. The table in Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 857/2010 is replaced by the following:
‘Country Definitive countervailing duty rate
Iran: all companies 139,70
Pakistan: all companies 35,39
United Arab Emirates: all companies 42,34’
2. The revised duty rate of EUR 35,39 per tonne for Pakistan shall be applicable as from 30 September 2010.
3. The amounts of duties paid or entered into the accounts pursuant to Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 857/2010 in its initial version and the amounts of provisional duties definitively collected pursuant to Article 2 of the same Regulation in its initial version, which exceed those as established on the basis of Article 1 of this Regulation, shall be repaid or remitted. Repayment and remission shall be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with the applicable customs legislation. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| Directive 2003/102/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 17 November 2003
relating to the protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users before and in the event of a collision with a motor vehicle and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC
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) In order to reduce the number of road accident casualties in the Community, it is necessary to introduce measures so as to improve the protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users before and in the event of a collision with the front of a motor vehicle.
(2) A package of passive and active measures for improving safety (avoidance of accidents and reduction of secondary effects by traffic calming and infrastructure improvements) for vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, is urgently needed in the framework of the road safety action programme.
(3) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured and to that end a Community type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place; the technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to pedestrian protection should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market.
(4) Pedestrian protection objectives can be achieved by a combination of active and passive safety measures; the recommendations by the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee (EEVC) of June 1999 are the subject of a wide consensus in this area; those recommendations propose performance requirements for the frontal structures of certain categories of motor vehicles to reduce their aggressiveness; this Directive presents tests and limit values based on the EEVC recommendations.
(5) The Commission should examine the feasibility of extending the scope of this Directive to vehicles with a maximum mass of up to 3,5 tonnes, and report its findings to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(6) This Directive should be considered as one element of a broader package of measures, to be undertaken by the Community, the industry and the relevant authorities of the Member States, on the basis of exchanges in best practice, in order to address pre-crash (active), in-crash (passive), and post-crash safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, with respect to road users, vehicles and infrastructure.
(7) In view of the speed of technological development in this area, alternative measures at least equivalent in terms of actual effectiveness to the requirements of this Directive - either passive or a combination of active and passive measures - may be proposed by the industry and shall be assessed following a feasibility study carried out by independent experts by 1 July 2004; the introduction of alternative measures at least equivalent in terms of actual effectiveness would require adapting or amending this Directive.
(8) Because of the ongoing research and technical progress in the area of pedestrian protection, it is appropriate to introduce a degree of flexibility in this field. Accordingly, this Directive should establish the fundamental provisions regarding pedestrian protection in the form of tests to be complied with by new types of vehicles and by new vehicles. The technical prescriptions for the application of such tests should be adopted by Commission decision.
(9) The rapidly advancing technology in active safety means that collision mitigation and avoidance systems could provide major safety benefits, for example in reducing collision speed and adjusting impact direction. The development of such technologies should be encouraged by this Directive.
(10) The associations representing the European, Japanese and Korean motor vehicle manufacturers have made commitments to start applying the EEVC recommendations concerning limit values and tests, or agreed alternative measures of at least equivalent effect, as from 2010, and a first set of limit values and tests as from 2005 to new types of vehicles and to apply the first set of tests to 80 % of all new vehicles as from 1 July 2010, to 90 % of all new vehicles as from 1 July 2011 and to all new vehicles as from 31 December 2012.
(11) This Directive should also contribute to establishing a high level of protection in the context of the international harmonisation of legislation in this area, which started under the 1998 Agreement of the UN/ECE concerning the establishment of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles.
(12) This Directive is one of the separate Directives which have to be complied with in order to conform to the EC type-approval procedure established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC 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(3).
(13) Directive 70/156/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
1. This Directive shall apply to the frontal surfaces of vehicles. For the purpose of this Directive, "vehicle" means any motor vehicle as defined in Article 2 of and Annex II to Directive 70/156/EEC, of category M1, of a maximum mass not exceeding 2,5 tonnes, and N1 derived from M1, of a maximum mass not exceeding 2,5 tonnes.
2. The purpose of this Directive is to reduce injuries to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users who are hit by the frontal surfaces of the vehicles defined in paragraph 1.
1. With effect from 1 January 2004 no Member State may, on grounds relating to pedestrian protection:
- refuse, in respect of a type of vehicle, to grant EC type-approval, or national type-approval, or
- prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of vehicles,
provided that the vehicles comply with the technical provisions set out in section 3.1. or 3.2. of Annex I.
2. With effect from 1 October 2005, Member States shall no longer grant:
- EC type-approval, or
- national type-approval,
except where the provisions of Article 8(2) of Directive 70/156/EEC are invoked, for any type of vehicle on grounds relating to pedestrian protection if the technical provisions set out in section 3.1. or 3.2. of Annex I are not complied with.
3. Paragraph 2 shall not apply to vehicles which do not differ with respect to their essential aspects of bodywork construction and design forward of the A pillars from vehicle types which have been granted EC type-approval or national type-approval before 1 October 2005 and which have not already been approved under this Directive.
4. With effect from 1 September 2010, Member States shall no longer grant:
- EC type-approval, or
- national type-approval,
except where the provisions of Article 8(2) of Directive 70/156/EEC are invoked, for any type of vehicle on grounds relating to pedestrian protection if the technical provisions set out in section 3.2. of Annex I to this Directive are not complied with.
5. With effect from 31 December 2012, Member States shall:
- consider certificates of conformity which accompany new vehicles in accordance with the provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 7(1) of that Directive, and
- prohibit the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles which are not accompanied by a certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 70/156/EEC,
on grounds relating to pedestrian protection if the technical provisions set out in section 3.1. or 3.2. of Annex I are not complied with.
6. With effect from 1 September 2015, Member States shall:
- consider certificates of conformity which accompany new vehicles in accordance with the provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 7(1) of that Directive, and
- prohibit the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles which are not accompanied by a certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 70/156/EEC,
on grounds relating to pedestrian protection if the technical provisions set out in section 3.2. of Annex I are not complied with.
Subject to the provisions of Article 2, Member States shall ensure that the tests laid down in section 3.1. or 3.2. of Annex I are carried out in accordance with the technical prescriptions to be specified by Commission decision.
Every month the approval authorities of the Member States shall each send to the Commission a copy of the type-approval certificate, the model for which is set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II, in respect of each vehicle they have approved in accordance with this Directive during that month.
1. The Commission, acting on the basis of relevant information communicated by the approval authorities and interested parties as well as of independent studies, shall monitor the progress made by the industry in the area of pedestrian protection, and shall carry out, by 1 July 2004, an independent feasibility assessment concerning the provisions of Annex I, section 3.2, and in particular alternative measures - either passive or a combination of active and passive measures - which are at least equivalent in terms of actual effectiveness. The feasibility study shall be based, inter alia, on practical tests and independent scientific studies.
2. If, as a result of the feasibility assessment referred to in paragraph 1, it is considered necessary to adapt the provisions of Annex I, section 3.2, to include a combination of passive and active measures which afford at least the same level of protection as the existing provisions of Annex I, section 3.2, the Commission shall submit a proposal to the European Parliament and the Council to amend this Directive accordingly.
3. As long as adaptation of this Directive is restricted to the introduction of alternative passive measures which afford at least the same level of protection as the existing provisions of Annex I, section 3.2, such adaptation may be carried out by the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
4. Before 1 April 2006, and every two years thereafter, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the results of the monitoring referred to in paragraph 1.
Directive 70/156/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following points shall be inserted in Annex I:

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 (3) the Council imposed a definitive duty on imports of certain ball bearings originating in Japan. This Regulation was later amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1238/85 (4).
(2) In 1986 the Commission received a request from Sapporo Precision Incorporated of Sapporo, Japan, to carry out a review. This request contained evidence of changed circumstances with regard to the dumping margin on which the anti-dumping duty applicable to this exporter had been based, which justified the need for review. The Commission accordingly published, in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5), a notice of the opening of a review investigation concerning exports of single-row deep-groove radial ball bearings with greatest outside diameter not more than 30 mm, manufactured and exported by Sapporo Precision Inc., and falling within heading No ex 84.62 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 84.62-01, originating in Japan.
(3) The Commission officially so advised the exporter known to be concerned and the Community producers and gave the parties directly concerned an opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The exporter concerned, one importer and the Community producers made their views known in writing and requested, and were granted, hearings.
No submissions were made by, or on behalf of, Community purchasers or processors of the product.
(4) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary and carried out an investigation at the premises of the exporter, Sapporo Precision Incorporated, Sapporo, Japan.
The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the applicant exporter and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.
B. Normal value
(5) For the purpose of establishing normal value, representative types of single-row deep-groove radial ball bearings were selected which togehter represented about two-thirds of all exports by Sapporo Precision Incorporated to the Community. Normal value for these types was established on the basis of the weighted average price paid for identical types by unrelated domestic purchasers. In those cases where the producer/exporter sold both directly to these purchasers and through a controlled sales company, the combined weighted average of sales prices to unrelated purchasers was taken.
Where Sapporo Precision Incorporated did not sell a type identical to the type exported to the Community, it proved unsatisfactory to establish normal value on the basis of the most similar type sold on the domestic market because the Commission was not satisfied that differences in the production costs of the various types were adequately reflected in the sales prices. For each of these types, therefore, a constructed normal value was established by adding cost of production and a reasonable profit margin. The cost of production was computed on the basis of all costs, fixed and variable, of materials and manufacture and including the actual selling, administrative and other general expenses incurred by Sapporo and its related sales company on the domestic market. The exporter accepted this approach.
C. Export price
(6) Since all exports were made to unrelated importers in the Community, export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(7) Normal value determined as described under paragraph 5 was compared with export prices on a transaction by transaction basis, taking account, where it was requested and could be satisfactorily proved, of differences affecting price comparability; this was the case with regard to commission expenses, transport, packing, financing and handling costs. No other claims were made.
E. Dumping
(8) A margin of dumping of 2,5 % was established for exports by Sapporo Precision Incorporated, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community.
F. Injury
(9) Since the application for a review was limited to the claim of changed circumstances with regard to dumping, the investigation did not have to cover injury aspects.
G. Community interest
(10) No reason has come to light as to why conclusions different from those referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 with regard to Community interest should be reached.
H. Level of duty
(11) In view of these findings, Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 should accordingly be amended to the extent that it concerns exports of single-row deep-groove radial ball bearings with greatest outside diameter not more than 30 mm, manufactured and exported by Sapporo Precision Incorporated and originating in Japan,
The following entry is hereby inserted in the list headed 'Japan' in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84:
'Sapporo Precision Incorporated 2,5 %'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 20 August 2010
amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of prohexadione as active substance
(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) The inclusion of prohexadione (formerly prohexadione-calcium) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC expires on 31 December 2011. A notification was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 of 27 June 2007 on laying down the procedure of the renewal of the inclusion of a first group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (2) for the renewal of the inclusion of prohexadione to as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within the time period provided for in that Article.
(2) That notification was found to be admissible by Commission Decision 2008/656/EC of 28 July 2008 on the admissibility of the notifications concerning the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances azimsulfuron, azoxystrobin, fluroxypyr, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, prohexadion-calcium and spiroxamin, and establishing the list of the notifiers concerned (3).
(3) Within the time period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007, the notifier submitted the data required in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 together with an explanation as regards the relevance of each new study submitted.
(4) The rapporteur Member State prepared an assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter: ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 22 May 2009. In addition to the assessment of the substance, that report includes a list of the studies the rapporteur Member State relied on for its assessment.
(5) The Authority communicated the assessment report to the notifier and to all the Member States and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the assessment report available to the public.
(6) At the request of the Commission, the assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the Authority, the Authority presented its conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment of prohexadione (considered variant prohexadione-calcium) (4) to the Commission on 6 April 2010. The assessment report and the conclusion from 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 9 July 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for prohexadione.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing prohexadione may be expected to continue to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to renew the inclusion of prohexadione in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, in order to ensure that plant protection products containing this active substance may continue to be authorised where they comply with that Directive.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the inclusion of an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is renewed in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the renewal.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of renewing the inclusion of an active substance in Annex I thereof, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after renewal to review authorisations of plant protection products containing prohexadione to make sure that the requirements laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13, and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I to that Directive, continue to be satisfied. As appropriate, Member States should renew, where appropriate with modifications, or refuse to renew authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update 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) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(11) 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 in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 January 2012 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 February 2012.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing prohexadione as an active substance by 31 January 2012.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to prohexadione are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing prohexadione as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 July 2011 at the latest, Member States shall, where necessary, re-evaluate the products, to take into account developments occurred in the scientific and technical knowledge and in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning prohexadione. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product still satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Following that determination Member States shall, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015.
3. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1 and 2, for each authorised plant protection product containing prohexadione as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 July 2011 at the latest, and at least one of which was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC between 1 January 2009 and 31 July 2011, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning prohexadione. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 August 2011.

of 14 February 2013
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to extend the inclusion in Annex I thereto of the active substance thiamethoxam to product-type 18
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes thiamethoxam.
(2) Commission Directive 2008/77/EC of 25 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include thiamethoxam as an active substance in Annex I thereto (3) included thiamethoxam as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, thiamethoxam has now been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(4) Spain was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 2 March 2009 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(5) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 21 September 2012, in an assessment report.
(6) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing thiamethoxam may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to extend the inclusion of thiamethoxam in Annex I to that Directive to product-type 18.
(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. For example, neither outdoor use, nor use by non-professional users were assessed. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(8) In the light of the unacceptable risks identified for professional users in the brushing application scenario, it is appropriate to require that products are not authorised for such uses, unless data are submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.
(9) In the light of the risks identified for the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems when products were emitted via a sewage treatment plant or directly to surface water, it is appropriate to require that products are not authorised for such uses, unless data are submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.
(10) In the light of the risks identified in several scenarios of use without personal protective equipment, it is appropriate to require that products authorised for professional use be used with such equipment, unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that risks to professional users can be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.
(11) In the light of the possible indirect human exposure via consumption of food as a result of those uses presented in the assessment report, it is appropriate to require, where relevant, verification of the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) or with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5). Measures should be adopted ensuring that the applicable maximum residue levels are not exceeded.
(12) In view of the risks identified for the environment, it is appropriate to require that product authorisations are subject to appropriate risk mitigation measures for the protection of honey bees.
(13) The provisions of this Directive should be applied simultaneously in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment on the Union market of biocidal products containing the active substance thiamethoxam and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(14) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(15) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(16) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(17) In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of 28 September 2011 of Member States and the Commission on explanatory documents (6), Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments.
(18) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 January 2014 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

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 9(2),

Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid(5) lays down that the portion of the expenditure corresponding to the export refunds on the products in question fixed under Community rules is to be charged to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section.
(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
(3) The general and implementing rules provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 on export refunds are applicable mutatis mutandis to the abovementioned operations.

of 19 March 2009
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to milk and milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with the second paragraph, subparagraph (a) of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(6) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the agricultural markets to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(7) Article 100(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(8) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Part XVI of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas, for the purposes of the application of Regulation (EEC) No 546/86, the overall foreseeable level of imports and the intra-Community share relating thereto should be fixed for the 1990 fishing year and for each of the products concerned, dividing the share into four quarterly instalments in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 546/86;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
For each of the fishery products imported into Spain and Portugal, the overall foreseeable level of imports and the intra-Community share relating thereto, divided into four quarterly instalments, are hereby fixed for 1990 as set out in the Annex.

Whereas the dimensions of the label should be established in proportion to the capacity of the package;
Whereas it is also necessary to adopt rules defining the relationship between markings for transport and markings for marketing and handling, in order to avoid double marking with different symbols;
Whereas dangerous substances, although complying with the requirements of Directive No 67/548/EEC, could prove a hazard to health or safety ; whereas provision should therefore be made for a procedure to offset this hazard;
Whereas it is necessary to make certain amendments to the wording of the German, English and Italian versions of the Directive,
Directive No 67/548/EEC shall be amended in accordance with the following Articles.

It shall immediately inform the Commission and the other Member States thereof and give reasons for its decision.
2. The Commission shall, within six weeks, consult with the Member States concerned, express its Opinion without delay and take the appropriate steps.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1821/87 (2), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 stipulates that products listed there, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories, are subject on importation into the Community to progressively reduced rates of duty; whereas such reduction of duties applies only up to ceilings above which the customs duties actually applied in respect of third countries may be re-established;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff ceilings, customs duties are reduced progressively by the percentages specified in that Article, during the same periods and in accordance with the same timetables as provided for in Articles 75 and 268 of the Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic; whereas on this basis, the preferential duty rates applicable in 1987 and 1988 must be equal to 80 % and 70 %, respectively, of the basic rates, with the exception of Chinese cabbages and walnuts, for which the rates must be 81,8 % and 72,7 % respectively of the basic rates; whereas, however, the preferential duty applicable to walnuts is equivalent to a reduction of 40 % on the normal duty rate;
Whereas by virtue of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of Decision No 2/87 of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers on the advance implementation of the Protocol to the Third ACP-EEC Convention consequent on the Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities (3), Spain and Portugal are to postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for fruit and vegetables falling within Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2275/87 (5), until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas, consequently, the abovementioned tariff concession does not apply at present in Spain or Portugal;
Whereas it is possible that during the period of validity of certain of the said ceilings the nomenclature used in the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the combined nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System; whereas this Regulation must take account of that fact by indicating the combined nomenclature codes and, where appropriate, the Taric code numbers of the products concerned;
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible re-establishment of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to re-establish customs tariff duties if one of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of products listed in the Annex originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories shall, in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, be subject to ceilings and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first paragraph, their tariff headings, the customs duties applicable, the periods of validity and the levels of the ceilings are set out in the Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which the collection of customs duties is re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, in the manner specified in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission may adopt a regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged for the preceding month no later than the 15th day of each month. At the Commission's request, they shall send statements of the quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1987.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/42/EC
of 29 June 2007
relating to materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
(Codified version)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 93/10/EEC of 15 March 1993 relating to materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) The Community measures envisaged by this Directive are not only necessary but also indispensable for the attainment of the objectives of the internal market. These objectives cannot be achieved by Member States individually. Furthermore, their attainment at Community level is already provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
(3) In order to achieve the objective laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 in the case of regenerated cellulose film, the suitable instrument was a specific directive within the meaning of Article 5 of that Regulation.
(4) Synthetic casings of regenerated cellulose should be the subject of specific provisions.
(5) The method for determining the absence of migration of colouring matters should be established at a later stage.
(6) Until criteria of purity and methods of analysis have been drawn up, national provisions should remain in force.
(7) The establishment of a list of approved substances, accompanied by limits to the quantities to be used, is sufficient in principle in this specific case to achieve the objective laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
(8) However, the bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ether (= diethyleneglycol) and ethanediol (= monoethyleneglycol) can migrate extensively to certain foodstuffs and therefore in order to avoid this possibility, as a preventive measure, it is more appropriate to lay down definitively the maximum authorised quantity of such substances in foodstuffs which have been in contact with regenerated cellulose film.
(9) To protect the health of the consumer, direct contact between foodstuffs and the printed surfaces of regenerated cellulose film should be avoided.
(10) The written declaration referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 should be provided for in the event of professional use of regenerated cellulose film for materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, except those which are, by their nature, intended for this use.
(11) The rules to be applied to the regenerated cellulose films should be specific to the nature of the layer in contact with the foodstuff. Accordingly, the requirements for regenerated cellulose films coated with coatings consisting of plastics should be different from those provided for regenerated cellulose films uncoated or coated with coatings derived from cellulose.
(12) Only authorised substances should be used in the manufacture of all the types of regenerated cellulose films, including regenerated cellulose films coated with plastics.
(13) In the case of regenerated cellulose films coated with coatings consisting of plastics, the layer in contact with foodstuffs consists of a material similar to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Therefore it is appropriate that the rules provided for in Commission Directive 2002/72/EC of 6 August 2002 relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (4) apply also to such films.
(14) In the interest of consistency of Community legislation, the verification of compliance of plastic-coated regenerated cellulose films with the migration limits set by Directive 2002/72/EC should be carried out according to the rules laid down in Council Directive 82/711/EEC of 18 October 1982 laying down the basic rules necessary for testing migration of the constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (5) and Council Directive 85/572/EEC of 19 December 1985 laying down the list of simulants to be used for testing migration of constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (6).
(15) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(16) 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 III, Part B,
1. This Directive is a specific directive within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
2. This Directive shall apply to regenerated cellulose film within the meaning of the description given in Annex I which is intended to come into contact with foodstuffs or which, by virtue of its purpose, does come into such contact and which either:
(a) constitutes a finished product in itself; or
(b) forms part of a finished product containing other materials.
3. This Directive shall not apply to synthetic casings of regenerated cellulose.
The regenerated cellulose films referred to in Article 1(2) shall belong to one of the following types:
(a) uncoated regenerated cellulose film;
(b) coated regenerated cellulose film with coating derived from cellulose; or
(c) coated regenerated cellulose film with coating consisting of plastics.
1. Regenerated cellulose films referred to in Article 2(a) and (b) shall be manufactured using only substances or groups of substances listed in Annex II subject to the restrictions set out therein.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, substances other than those listed in Annex II may be used when these substances are employed as colouring matter (dyes and pigments) or as adhesives, provided that there is no trace of migration of the substances into or onto foodstuffs, detectable by a validated method.
1. Regenerated cellulose film referred to in Article 2(c) shall be manufactured, prior to coating, using only substances or groups of substances listed in the first part of Annex II, subject to the restrictions set out therein.
2. The coating to be applied to the regenerated cellulose film referred to in paragraph 1 shall be manufactured using only substances or groups of substances listed in Annexes II to VI to Directive 2002/72/EC, subject to the restrictions set out therein.
3. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film referred to in Article 2(c) shall comply with Articles 2, 7 and 8 of Directive 2002/72/EC.
Printed surfaces of regenerated cellulose film shall not come into contact with the foodstuffs.
1. At the marketing stages other than the retail stages, materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs shall be accompanied by a written declaration in accordance with Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film which by their nature are clearly intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
3. Where special conditions of use are indicated, the material or article made of regenerated cellulose film shall be labelled accordingly.
Directive 93/10/EEC, as amended by the Directives listed in Annex III, 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 III, 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 in Annex IV.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 6 May 2009
granting mutual assistance for Romania
(2009/458/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 119 thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission made after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Romanian capital and financial markets have recently come under pressure, reflecting the global economic downturn and rising concerns about the Romanian economy, given its wide external deficit, and the rapidly increasing public deficit. Pressures on the exchange rate have also increased and entail a risk to the wider banking sector stability.
(2) In response, the government and the National Bank of Romania (NBR) have developed a comprehensive strategy to firmly anchor macroeconomic policies and reduce financial market stress and outlined this strategy in a letter of intent received by the Commission on 27 April 2009. A cornerstone of the economic programme is the reduction of the fiscal deficit from 5,4 % of GDP in 2008 to 5,1 % of GDP in 2009 and to below 3 % of GDP by 2011. In order to help a sustainable achievement of lower budgetary deficits, measures will be taken to improve the budgetary strategy and process. This economic programme and in particular the fiscal targets will be reflected in the Government budget as well as in the convergence programme.
(3) The Council is reviewing on a regular basis the economic policies implemented by Romania, in particular in the context of the annual reviews of Romania’s update of the convergence programme and implementation of the National Reform Programme and the regular review of progress made by Romania in the context of the Convergence Report and of the Annual Progress Report.
(4) External financing is expected to remain under significant pressure as the persistent, although declining, current account deficit, together with the need to roll over sizeable short-term and longer-term foreign currency-denominated debt, are likely not to be covered fully by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and other financial and capital account inflows in 2009-2011. External financing needs are estimated at around EUR 20 billion in the period until the first quarter of 2011. Foreign banks' rollover rate of their exposures to Romania is assumed at 100 % once the mutual assistance is awarded, consistent with the required commitment of main foreign banks to maintain their exposure to Romania (as confirmed in their joint statement of 26 March 2009), whereas the rollover rate for corporate external debt to parent institutions and for external debt of Romanian banks is assumed at 50 % in 2009. For 2010 and 2011, all maturing foreign liabilities are assumed to be rolled over at 100 % in line with the expected financial market stabilisation and start of the recovery in Romania’s major export markets. Apart from sufficiently high foreign exchange reserve target (of more than 100 % of short-term external debt at remaining maturity) conservative assumptions were made about other capital outflows such as non-resident deposit outflows, decreases in trade credits and portfolio outflows in order to incorporate additional buffers into the calculations.
(5) The authorities of Romania have requested substantial financial assistance from the EU and other international financial institutions to support balance of payments sustainability and to bring international currency reserves to a prudent level.
(6) There is a serious threat to the Romanian balance of payments which justifies the urgent granting of mutual assistance by the Community. In addition, in view of the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,
The Community shall grant mutual assistance to Romania.

laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the format of the records to be maintained by central counterparties according to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (2), and in particular Article 29(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 29(4) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, Articles 13, 14 and 15 of the delegated act with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the details of the records and information to be kept by central counterparties (CCPs) adopted pursuant to Article 29(4) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, rules should also be laid down to specify the format of the record and information kept in accordance those Articles.
(2) To carry out their duties effectively and consistently, the relevant authorities should be provided with data that are comparable among CCPs. The use of common formats also facilitates the reconciliation of data between CCPs.
(3) A CCP should be required to retain data for record keeping purposes in a format compatible with the format in which data is retained by trade repositories, taking into account that in certain circumstances CCPs and trade repositories are required to maintain or report the same information. The use of a common format across different financial market infrastructures facilitates the greater use of these formats by a wide variety of market participants, thus promoting standardisation.
(4) To facilitate straight through processing and reduction of costs to market participants, it is important to use standardised procedures and data formats across CCPs as much as possible.
(5) The underlying should be identified by using a single identifier, however there is currently no market wide standardised code to identify the underlyings within a basket. CCPs should therefore indicate at least that the underlying is a basket and use International Securities Identification numbers (ISINs) for standardised indices where possible.
(6) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to the Commission.
(7) In accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (3), ESMA has conducted an open public consultation before submitting the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010,
Formats of records
1. A CCP shall retain the records specified in Article 20 of the delegated act with regard to regulatory technical standards on requirements specifying the details of the records and information to be kept by central counterparties (CCPs) adopted pursuant to Article 29(4) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 for each contract processed in the format set out in Table 1 in the Annex.
2. A CCP shall retain the records specified in Article 21 of the delegated act with regard to regulatory technical standards on requirements specifying the details of the records and information to be kept by central counterparties (CCPs) adopted pursuant to Article 29(4) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 for each position in the format set out in Table 2 in the Annex.
3. A CCP shall retain the records specified in Article 22 of the delegated act with regard to regulatory technical standards on requirements specifying the details of the records and information to be kept by central counterparties (CCPs) adopted pursuant to Article 29(4) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 for activities related to its business and internal organisation in the format set out in Table 3 in the Annex.
4. A CCP shall provide the competent authority the records and information under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 in a format that allows a direct data feed between the CCP and the competent authority. A CCP shall establish such data feed within six months after the request of the competent authority.

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 16 June 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 "Ortec - Gamma-X Coaxial HPGe Detector, model 2012-25200-S", ordered on 18 September 1980 and to be used for the analysis of samples of building materials and in particular for high-efficiency determination of radioactive isotopes with low gamma energies in such samples, 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 15 November 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2) provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at a selling price which is not below the price recorded on the market at the place of storage or, failing that, on the nearest market, account being taken of transport costs, for an equivalent quality and for a representative quantity preventing market disturbance.
(2) The increased use of biofuels in Community transport forms part of a raft of measures designed to meet the Community’s environmental commitments. Promoting the use of biofuels may open up a new market for the agricultural products of the Member States.
(3) Germany has significant intervention stocks of rye for which it is proving difficult to find markets and which should therefore be disposed of. To this end, sales on the Community market may be organised by tendering procedure with a view to processing the rye into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community, within the meaning of Directive 2003/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 May 2003 on the promotion of the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport (3).
(4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(5) It is also important for the German intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(6) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(7) To enable checks on the particular destination of the stocks covered by tendering procedures, provision should be made for specific monitoring of, on the one hand, the delivery of the rye and its processing into bioethanol and, on the other hand, its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community. To permit this monitoring, application of the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (4) and Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products (5) respectively should be made compulsory.
(8) To guarantee proper performance, tenderers should be asked to lodge a security which, in view of the nature of the operations concerned, should be fixed by derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, in particular as regards the conditions for its release.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,
The German intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 200 000 tonnes of rye held by it, for processing into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community within the meaning of Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 2003/30/EC.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding:
(a) Article 13(1) of that Regulation, tenders shall be drawn up by reference to the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the second paragraph of Article 10 of that Regulation, the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market.
Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) proof that the tenderer has lodged a security which, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, is set at EUR 10 per tonne;
(b) the tenderer’s written undertaking to use the rye for processing within the Community into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community before 30 August 2006 and to lodge a security of EUR 40 within two working days of the day on which the notice of award of contract is received;
(c) an undertaking to keep stock records so that checks may be carried out to ensure that the quantities of rye awarded have been processed on Community territory into bioethanol and that this ethanol has been used for the production of biofuel in the Community.
The holding and movement of ethanol is subject to Directive 92/12/EEC for the purposes of the production of biofuels.
1. The first partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 5 October 2005.
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 15.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 2 November 2005, 28 December 2005, 12 April 2006, 24 May 2006 and 14 June 2006, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.
The last partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 28 June 2006.
2. Tenders must be lodged with the German intervention agency at the following address:
Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (BLE)
Deichmannsaue 29
D-53179 Bonn
Fax: (49-228) 6845 3985
(49-228) 6845 3276.
Within two hours of the expiry of the time-limit for the submission of tenders, the German intervention agency shall notify the Commission of tenders received. This notification shall be made by e-mail, using the form in Annex I hereto.
Under the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 the Commission shall set the minimum selling price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.
Where tenders are offering the minimum selling price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum selling price.
1. The security referred to in Article 3(a) shall be released in full in respect of quantities for which:
(a) no award is made;
(b) payment of the selling price is made within the period set and the security referred to in Article 3(b) has been lodged.
2. The security referred to in Article 3(b) shall be released in proportion to the quantities of rye used by 30 August 2006 for the production of bioethanol in the Community and subject to the bioethanol being placed under the tax warehouse system provided for in Directive 92/12/EEC and specifying the end use of the bioethanol as biofuel in the Community.
1. Proof that the undertakings referred to in Article 3(b) have been met shall be supplied in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 and Directive 92/12/EEC.
2. In addition to the particulars provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, box 104 of the control copy T5 shall refer to the undertaking provided for in Article 3(b) and (c) and contain one or more of the entries shown in Annex II.
3. Notwithstanding Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, proof that the rye has been properly used shall be provided where it is stored in a bioethanol processing undertaking and the biofuel producer shows, by submitting supporting documents, that the bioethanol produced from rye purchased in accordance with this Regulation has been processed into biofuel.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(notified under document number C(2004) 332)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/141/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/119/EC(2), and in particular the third and the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to 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(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), and in particular Article 7(3A)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provided for the Commission to carry out a programme of work for the examination of the active substances used in plant protection products which were already on the market on 25 July 1993. Detailed rules for the carrying out of this programme were established in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), designated the active substances which should be assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, designated a Member State to act as rapporteur in respect of the assessment of each substance and identified the producers of each active substance who submitted a notification in due time.
(3) Amitraz is one of the 89 active substances designated in Regulation (EC) No 933/94.
(4) In accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92, Austria, being the designated rapporteur Member State, submitted on 6 January 1998 to the Commission the report of its assessment of the information submitted by the notifiers in accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation.
(5) On receipt of the report of the rapporteur Member State, the Commission undertook consultations with experts of the Member States as well as with the main notifier Bayer CropScience, as provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(6) The Commission organised two tripartite meeting with the main data submitter and the rapporteur Member State for this active substance on 9 June 2000 and on 21 March 2003.
(7) The assessment report prepared by Austria has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. This review was finalised on 4 July 2003 in the format of the Commission review report for amitraz.
(8) Assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing amitraz satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. In particular, Article 5(2)(b) provides that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for man must be taken into account in deciding on the inclusion of an active substance in Annex I. In setting the ADI the possible neurological effects of amitraz had to be considered. These effects were also considered for setting the Acute Reference Dose, i.e. the estimate of the amount of the substance that can be ingested over a short period of time without appreciable health risk to the consumer. It has not been demonstrated for the proposed uses that consumers might not be exposed to amitraz exceeding the Acute Reference Dose. A probabilistic risk assessment was prepared by the notifier. It must however be taken into consideration that agreed criteria for the interpretation of such a probabilistic risk assessment are not yet established and it would not be appropriate, in view of the possible risks, to delay decision-making further until such criteria are agreed.
(9) Amitraz should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing amitraz are withdrawn within a prescribed period and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(11) In the light of the information submitted to the Commission it appears that, in the absence of efficient alternatives for certain limited uses in certain Member States, there is a need for further use of the active substance so as to enable the development of alternatives. It is therefore justified in the present circumstances to prescribe under strict conditions aimed at minimising risk a longer period for the withdrawal of existing authorisations for the limited uses considered as essential for which no efficient alternatives appear currently to be available for the control of harmful organisms.
(12) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing amitraz allowed by Member States, should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(13) This Decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant protection products containing certain active substances(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(8).
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Amitraz shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
1. authorisations for plant protection products containing amitraz are withdrawn by 12 August 2004;
2. from 17 February 2004 no authorisations for plant protection products containing amitraz are granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC;
3. in relation to the uses listed in column B of the Annex, a Member State specified in column A may maintain in force authorisations for plant protection products containing amitraz until 30 June 2007 provided that it:
(a) ensures that such plant protection products remaining on the market are relabelled in order to match the restricted use conditions;
(b) imposes all appropriate risk mitigation measures to reduce any possible risks in order to ensure the protection of human and animal health and the environment; and
(c) ensures that alternative products or methods for such uses are being seriously sought, in particular, by means of action plans.
The Member State concerned shall inform the Commission on 31 December 2004 at the latest on the application of this paragraph and in particular on the actions taken pursuant to points (a) to (c) and provide on a yearly basis estimates of the amounts of amitraz used for essential uses pursuant to this Article.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and:
(a) for the uses for which the authorisation is to be withdrawn on 12 August 2004, shall expire not later than 12 August 2005;
(b) for the uses for which the authorisation is to be withdrawn by 30 June 2007, shall expire not later than 31 December 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/527/EC of 8 December 1995 on a Community financial contribution towards certain expenditure incurred by the Member States implementing the monitoring and control systems applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Decision (EC) No 95/527/EC provides that the Community financial contribution may relate to eligible expenditure intended for the training of national officers connected with control activities; whereas Commission Decision No 96/286/EC of 11 April 1996, laying down detailed rules for the application of Decision (EC) No 95/527/EC on a Community financial contribution towards certain expenditure incurred by the Member States implementing the monitoring and control systems applicable to the common fisheries policy (2), lays down the detailed rules for determining the amounts of expenditure eligible for training purposes;
Whereas pursuant to Article 5 of Decision No 95/527/EC certain Member States have forwarded to the Commission applications for funding for 1996, part of which relates to expenditure on the training of national officials;
Whereas the expenditure eligible for training national officials connected with control activities and the rate of the Community contribution to that expenditure should therefore be established;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Expenditure planned for 1996 for the training of national officials connected with the control activities listed in the Annex hereto, amounting to ECU 467 944, shall be eligible for a financial contribution under Decision 95/527/EC. The rate of the Community contribution shall be 50 % of the expenditure eligible.
1. For the purposes of this Decision the ECU exchange rate used to calculate eligible expenditure shall be that of February 1996.
2. The ECU exchange rate to be applied for the reimbursement of expenditure and the payment of advances shall be that of the month during which the payment order is made.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of Spain, Ireland, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Portuguese Republic, the Finnish Republic, the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1144/98 of 2 June 1998 laying down, for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, detailed rules of application for a tariff quota for calves weighing not more than 80 kilograms originating in certain third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1926/96 of 7 October 1996 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the agreements on free trade and trade-related matters with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Regulations (EC) No 3066/95 and (EC) No 1926/96 provide for the opening, for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, of a tariff quota for 178 000 live bovine animals weighing 80 kilograms or less originating in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and benefiting from an 80 % reduction in the rate of customs duties; whereas management measures should be laid down relating to the importation of these animals;
Whereas experience shows that limiting imports can give rise to speculative import applications; whereas, in order to guarantee that the planned measures function correctly, most of the quantities available should be reserved for so-called traditional importers of live bovine animals; whereas in certain cases administrative errors by the competent national body threaten to restrict access by traders to this part of the quota; whereas there should be provision to correct any harm caused;
Whereas, so as not to introduce rigidity into trade relations in the sector, a second allocation should be made available for traders able to show that they are carrying out a genuine activity involving trade in a significant number of animals; whereas, in consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, a minimum of 100 animals should be required to have been exported and/or imported during 1997 by the operators concerned; whereas a batch of 100 animals in principle constitutes a normal load; whereas experience has shown that the sale or purchase of a single batch is a minimum requirement for a transaction to be considered real and viable;
Whereas verification of these criteria requires all applications from the same trader to be submitted in the Member State where the trader is registered for VAT purposes;
Whereas, so as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be denied to traders no longer carrying out an activity in the beef and veal sector on 1 June 1998;
Whereas, to ensure orderly importation of the quantities laid down for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, the issue of the licences should be staggered over the year of import;
Whereas the arrangements should be managed using import licences; whereas, to this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by derogation from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1044/98 (5), and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 759/98 (7); whereas, moreover, it should be stipulated that licences are to be issued following a reflection period and where necessary with a fixed percentage reduction applied;
Whereas provision should be made for imported animals to be identified in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 of 21 April 1997 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products (8);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
With the exception of imports under the tariff quotas for the importation of 169 000 young male bovine animals for fattening and 153 000 live bovine animals weighing between 80 and 300 kilograms, imports into the Community of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102 90 05, 0102 90 21, 0102 90 29, 0102 90 41 and 0102 90 49 and referred to in Article 1(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (9), originating in the countries listed in Annex I, shall be subject to the management measures laid down in this Regulation.
1. Import licences under this Regulation may be issued for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999 only for 178 000 animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05 originating in the countries listed in Annex I.
The quota shall have the serial number 09.4598.
2. For those animals, the ad valorem duty and the specific duties fixed in the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) shall be reduced by 80 %.
3. The quantity referred to in paragraph 1 shall be divided into two parts, as follows:
(a) the first part, equal to 70 %, i.e. 124 600 head, shall be allocated among importers who can furnish proof of having imported animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05 during 1995, 1996 or 1997 in the context of the regulations referred to in Annex II.
Without prejudice to the first subparagraph, the Member States may accept as the reference quantity import rights for the year of import which were not allocated because of an administrative error by the competent national body;
(b) the second part, equal to 30 %, i.e. 53 400 head, shall be allocated among traders who can furnish proof of having imported and/or exported during 1997 at least 100 live bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 apart from those under (a).
Traders must be registered for VAT purposes in a Member State.
4. The 124 600 head shall be allocated on the basis of applications for import rights among the eligible importers in proportion to their imports of animals within the meaning of paragraph 3(a) during 1995, 1996 and 1997 proven in accordance with paragraph 6.
5. The 53 400 head shall be allocated among the eligible traders in proportion to the quantities applied for proven in accordance with paragraph 6.
6. Proof of import and export shall be provided exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation or the export document duly stamped by the customs authorities.
Member States may accept copies of the abovementioned documents duly certified by the issuing authority where the applicant can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authority that he was not able to obtain the original documents.
1. Traders who on 1 June 1998 were no longer engaged in any activity in the beef and veal sector shall not qualify for the allocation pursuant to Article 2(3)(a).
2. Any company formed by the merger of companies each having rights pursuant to Article 2(4) shall enjoy the same rights as the companies from which it was formed.
1. Applications for import rights may be presented only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered within the meaning of Article 2(3).
2. For the purposes of Article 2(3)(a), traders shall present applications for import rights to the competent authorities together with the proof referred to in Article 2(6) by 18 June 1998 at the latest.
After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 30 June 1998 at the latest, the list of traders who meet the acceptance conditions, showing in particular their names and addresses and the number of eligible animals imported during each of the reference years.
3. For the purposes of Article 2(3)(b), applications for import rights, together with the proof referred to in Article 2(6), must be lodged by traders by 18 June 1998 at the latest.
Only one application may be lodged by each applicant. Where the same applicant lodges more than one application all applications from that person shall be invalid. Applications may not relate to a quantity larger than that available.
After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission by 30 June 1998 a list of applicants and quantities applied for.
4. All notifications, including notifications of nil applications, shall be made by telex or fax, drawn up on the basis of the models in Annexes III and IV in the case where applications have been lodged.
1. The Commission shall decide to what extent applications may be accepted.
2. As regards applications pursuant to Article 4(3), where the quantities applied for exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall reduce the quantities applied for by a fixed percentage.
If the reduction referred to in the preceding subparagraph results in a quantity of less than 100 head per application, the allocation shall be made by drawing lots, by batches of 100 head, by the Member States concerned. If the remaining quantity is less than 100 head, it shall constitute a single batch.
1. Imports of the quantities allocated in accordance with Article 5 shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
2. Licence applications may be presented only in the Member State in which the application for import rights was lodged.
3. Licences shall be issued, at the request of traders, up to 31 December 1998 for a maximum of 50 % of the allocated import rights. Import licences for the remaining quantities shall be issued from 1 January 1999.
The number of animals for which a licence is issued shall be expressed in units. Where necessary, numbers shall be rounded up or down as the case may be.
4. Licence applications and licences shall contain the following entries:
(a) in Section 8, the indication of the countries referred to in Annex I; licences shall carry with them an obligation to import from one or more of the countries indicated;
(b) in Section 16, CN subheading 0102 90 05;

Whereas by Decision 89/563/EEC (3) the Commission approved the plan for the accelerated eradication of classical swine fever presented by Greece, which has been implemented on a regional basis;
Whereas, following a favourable development of the disease situation, the Commission adopted Decision 87/362/EEC (4), recognizing certain parts of the territory of the Hellenic Republic as officially swine fever free;
Whereas Greece at this moment complies with the criteria laid down in Article 7 (1) and Point 2 of the second subparagraph of Article 2 of Directive 80/1095/EEC for being recognized as an officially swine fever-free Member State within the context of eradication; in fact, no swine fever has been detected and vaccination against swine fever has been stopped for more than 12 months in Greece and holdings in Greece contain no pigs which have been vaccinated against swine fever in the preceding 12 months;
Whereas since Greece has obtained this status, no new plan need be prepared for completing the eradication of classical swine fever as provided for in Article 3a of Directive 80/1095/EEC;
Whereas taking into account this new situation it is necessary to modify Commission Decision 81/400/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 89/473/EEC (6), and to repeal Decision 87/362/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.

(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-tyrosine as a feed additive in the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of L-tyrosine as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 20 June 2013 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-tyrosine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it may be considered efficacious to contribute to the requirements for sulphur-containing amino acids in all animal 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 that substance shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance 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 substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 February 2005
amending Decision 94/140/EC setting up an advisory committee for the coordination of fraud prevention
(2005/223/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 94/140/EC (1), the Commission set up an advisory committee for the coordination of fraud prevention (the committee) attached to it and responsible for advising it on any matter relating to the prevention and prosecution of fraud and irregularities and to cooperation between Member States or between Member States and the Commission to counter fraud.
(2) Since the committee was set up, the Community provisions for the protection of the financial interests of the Community have been substantially developed and strengthened, in particular by new legislative measures and organisational changes in the Commission.
(3) General rules defining irregularities and laying down related measures and penalties in the field of the protection of the financial interests of the Community were adopted in Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 (2), and specific rules applicable to all areas of Community activity concerning on-the-spot administrative checks and inspections carried out by the Commission were adopted in Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 (3).
(4) Article 280, inserted in the EC Treaty by the Treaty of Amsterdam, provided a new institutional framework for the fight against fraud; it provides in particular for powers to be shared between the Community and the Member States and for close and regular cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States and the Commission for the protection of the financial interests of the Community.
(5) Commission Decision 1999/352/EC, ECSC, Euratom (4), established the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) as the service responsible for administrative anti-fraud investigations, extending to all the activities linked with the protection of Community interests from irregular acts likely to lead to administrative or criminal proceedings.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1074/1999 (6) determined the legal framework for OLAF’s activities, making it responsible in particular for ensuring cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States and the Commission for the coordination of action to protect the financial interests of the Community against fraud.
(7) In the field of protecting the euro against counterfeiting, the Commission has been given specific responsibility for ensuring the overall protection of the single currency by means of consultations within an advisory committee under Council Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001 (7) in the context of close and regular cooperation between the national authorities and the Commission itself. Council Decision 2001/923/EC (8) gave the Commission responsibility for managing and implementing a Community exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting (the Pericles programme) in cooperation with the Member States.
(8) Given these new dimensions in Community legislation and the committee’s horizontal function, the committee’s advisory powers should be adapted, as should the representation on it of the Member States, whose representatives must be able to be assisted by the competent national authorities. In the interests of flexibility there should also be provision for the possibility of setting up sectoral working parties.
(9) Decision 94/140/EC must be amended accordingly,
Decision 94/140/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2(1) is replaced by the following:
2. Article 3 is amended as follows:
(a) Article 3(1) is replaced by the following:
(b) Article 3(3) is replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 (2) provides for a system of disposal of wine alcohol by invitation to tender for use as bio-ethanol in the fuel sector in the Community. In order to enable the highest selling price to be obtained for such alcohol, the conditions for competition on the wine alcohol market should be improved.

Secondly, where applicable, those undertakings should have the possibility of freely choosing on the market the clients to whom they will sell on the processed alcohol for its final use.
(3) To that end, tenderers should not be required, on presentation of their tenders, to indicate the destination and the final purchasers of the alcohol, provided that final use takes place in the form of bio-ethanol in the fuel sector in the Community.
(4) In order to better ensure that the planned final use of the alcohol is complied with, the amount of the performance guarantee should be increased.
(5) The conditions for the participation of undertakings in invitations to tender as regards the date of their approval should be set out in greater detail.
(6) The exchange of information between the intervention agencies, the Member States and the Commission should be made more transparent and efficient.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

| COUNCIL DECISION of 5 April 1993 authorizing the United Kingdom to apply a measure derogating from Articles 5 (8) and 21 (1) (a) of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(93/204/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from the provisions of that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas the United Kingdom was authorized by Decision 90/127/EEC (2), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 (1) to (4) of Directive 77/388/EEC to apply a measure derogating from Articles 5 (8) and 21 (1) (a) of the said Directive;
Whereas the United Kingdom, by means of a letter dated 16 November 1992 and received by the Commission on 18 November 1992, requested authorization to extend the said derogation until 31 December 1996;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 18 December 1992 of the United Kingdom's request;
Whereas the purpose of the derogation is to prevent groups of enterprises which are treated as a single taxable person within the meaning of Article 4 (4) of Directive 77/388/EEC and which are not entitled to deduct tax in full from being able to benefit from full deduction of the tax on certain transfers of assets made in the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 5 (8) of that Directive;
Whereas pursuant to Article 5 (8) of Directive 77/388/EEC Member States may, in the event of a transfer, whether for consideration or not or as a contribution to a company, of a totality of assets or part thereof, consider that no supply of goods has taken place and that the recipient is to be treated as the successor to the transferor;
Whereas the United Kingdom makes general use of the option provided for in the said Article 5 (8);
Whereas, therefore, the measure planned by the United Kingdom derogates from the said Article 5 (8) in that a supply is deemed to take place where part of a totality of assets is transferred to a company which, as a member of a group of enterprises which are treated as a single taxable person within the meaning of Article 4 (4) of that Directive, is not entitled to deduct tax in full;
Whereas the measure planned by the United Kingdom also constitutes a derogation form Article 21 (1) (a) of Directive 77/388/EEC according to which, under the internal system, the person liable for the tax is the taxable person who carries out the taxable transaction;
Whereas that derogation will have a favourable effect on the European Communities' own resources from value added tax,
By way of derogation from Articles 5 (8) and 21 (1) (a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorized to apply until 31 December 1996:
- a provision whereby a supply of goods is deemed to occur where assets, other than the capital goods subject to adjustment of the deductions initially made pursuant to legislation adopted by the United Kingdom on the basis of Article 20 of the said Directive, are totally or partially transferred to a company which is a member of a group of enterprises treated as a single taxable person within the meaning of Article 4 (4) of that Directive and which, as a member of that group, is not entitled to deduct tax in full,
- a provision whereby the company which is the recipient of the supply of assets referred to in the first indent becomes liable to tax.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 |
