Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3071/95 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 55/87 of 30 December 1986 establishing the list of vessels exceeding eight metres length overall permitted to use beam trawls within certain coastal areas of the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3410/93 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

31996R0427 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 427/96 of 8 March 1996 opening import quotas in respect of special preferential raw cane sugar from the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996
| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 427/96 of 8 March 1996 opening import quotas in respect of special preferential raw cane sugar from the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period 1 July 1995 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 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the market in sugar (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1101/95 (2), and in particular Articles 14 (2) and 37 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that, during the marketing years 1995/96 to 2000/01 and in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a special reduced duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in States with which the Community has concluded supply arrangements on preferential terms; whereas at present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 95/284/EC (3) only with the ACP States party to Protocol 8 on ACP sugar annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC Lomé Convention, and with the Republic of India;
Whereas the quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are calculated in accordance with the said Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance; whereas the balance indicates the need to import raw sugar and to open at this stage for the 1995/96 marketing year a tariff quota at the special reduced rate of duty as provided for in the abovementioned agreements so that the Community refineries' supply need can be met for part of the year; whereas this has been provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2308/95 (4) for the period 1 July 1995 to 29 February 1996; whereas the production data for raw cane sugar are now available for the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas a tariff quota should consequently be opened for the whole of the marketing year; whereas, because of the presumed maximum refining needs fixed by Member State and the shortfall resulting from the forecast supply balance, provision should be made to authorize imports for each refining Member State, taking into account the quantity already laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2308/95;
Whereas the above agreements lay down that the refiners in question must pay a minimum purchase price equal to the guaranteed price for raw sugar, minus the adjustment aid fixed for the marketing year in question; whereas this minimum price must accordingly be fixed by taking account of the factors applying in the 1995/96 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The following tariff quotas are hereby opened for the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 under Decision 95/284/EC in respect of imports of raw cane sugar for refining:
(a) 334 100 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the ACP States covered by that Decision; and
(b) 10 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the Republic of India.
1. A special reduced duty of ECU 6,9 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar shall apply to imports of the quantities referred to in Article 1.
2. Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 (5) notwithstanding, the minimum purchase price to be paid by the Community refiners shall be fixed for the period referred to in Article 1 at ECU 51,17 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar.
The following Member States are hereby authorized to import under the quotas referred to in Article 1 and on the terms laid down in Article 2 (1) the following shortfall expressed as white sugar:
(a) Finland: 35 100 tonnes;
(b) metropolitan France: 60 000 tonnes, including the quantity laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2308/95;
(c) mainland Portugal: 234 000 tonnes, including the quantity laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2308/95;
(d) United Kingdom: 15 000 tonnes, including the quantity laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2308/95.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1995.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/99(2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to Counicl Decision 91/666/EEC of 11 December 1991 establishing Community reserves of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines(3), as last amended by Council Decision 1999/762/CE(4), and in particular Articles 3(1), third indents and 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 3 of Decision 91/666/EEC the Commission, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 10 of that Decision, may designate premises for storage of Community reserves of foot-and-mouth disease antigen as long as they comply with the provisions of Articles 4 and 6 of that Decision.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Decision 93/590/EC of 5 November 1993, for the purchase of foot-and-mouth disease antigens within the framework of the Community action concerning reserves of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines(5), as last amended by Decision 95/471/EC(6), makes provisions for the antigen to be stored at three specified locations.
(3) Commission Decision 97/348/EC of 23 May 1997 for the purchase by the Community of foot-and-mouth disease antigens and for the formulation, production, bottling and distribution of vaccines against food-and-mouth disease(7), details the distribution of newly purchased antigen to designated antigen banks.
(4) The premises of the Institute of Animal Health, Pirbright, United Kingdom, are no longer a designated Community antigen bank. Moreover, the former antigen bank at Pirbright refused to receive the quantities and types of antigen assigned by Decision 97/348/EC and this antigen has been stored in the premises of the manufacturer Merial SAS, Pirbright.
(5) With a view to necessary expenses and the revision of relevant legislation it appears appropriate to designate the manufacturer of the antigen, Meril SAS, Pirbright United Kingdom, as Community antigen bank and consequently to make provisions for the transfer of antigen stored at Institute for Animal Health, Pirbright, United Kingdom, for storage in the premises of Merial SAS, Pirbright.
(6) The Director-General of the Directorate-General responsible for Community veterinary legislation in the field of animal health shall be authorised to sign contracts with designated vaccine banks in private property.
(7) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Without prejudice to Article 3(1), first and second indent, of Decision 91/666/EEC an antigen bank shall be established at Merial SAS, Pirbright, United Kingdom.
2. The quantities and types of antigen stored in accordance with Decision 93/590/EC in the Community antigen bank at Institute for Animal Health, Pirbright, United Kingdom, shall be transferred for storage to Merial SAS, Pirbright, United Kingdom. The transfer shall be carried out under the responsability of Merial SAS.
3. The antigen purchased by the Community and assigned to the Community antigen bank in the premises of the Institute of Animal Health, Pirbright, in accordance with Decision 97/348/EC shall be stored in the premises of Merial SAS, Pirbright, United Kingdom.
4. To meet the objectives of paragraphs 2 and 3, the Commission shall conclude a contract, in the name of the European Community, with Merial SAS.
5. The Director-General of the Directorate-General responsible for Community veterinary legislation in the field of animal health shall be authorised to sign the contract on the transfer and storage of the quantities and types of antigen on behalf of the Commission of the European Communities.
This Decision shall apply from 1 February 2000.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2001/740/EC(4), as last amended by Decision 2001/763/EC(5), concerns certain protection measures with regard to foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom.
(2) Certain counties in Great Britain, which are listed in Annex III, have had no outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease during this epidemic, while others have remained free from the disease for more than 3 months. It appears therefore appropriate to enlarge the area from which dispatch of certain meats is authorized, and to include in addition to pig meat also meat from other livestock and from farmed and wild game of species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease.
(3) Meat from small ruminants, farmed game and wild game should be allowed from counties that had no outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease during this epidemic, and in addition in the case of meat from wild game, the county of origin should not border directly with a county not included in Annex III.
(4) Certain livestock holdings situated in areas included in the list in Annex III may wish to restock with animals the origin of which is outside the areas listed in Annex I or Annex II. Such animal transport may pose a potential risk in particular for transport means returning empty from Great Britain. Therefore provisions are necessary to ensure official control and certification of the cleansing and disinfection of the means of transport.
(5) The situation shall be reviewed at the meeting of the Standing Veterinary Committee scheduled for 4-5 December 2001 and the measures adapted where necessary.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 2001/740/EC is amended as follows:
1. In the sixth indent of Article 2(2)(d) the word "slaughterhouse" is replaced by the word "establishment".
2. Paragraph 1 of Article 13 is replaced by the following: "1. The United Kingdom shall ensure that no live animals of susceptible species are introduced from other Member States into the parts of its territory listed in Annex I and Annex II.
By derogation to the above provision, the central competent veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom may authorise the introduction of animals of susceptible species into parts of its territory listed in Annex III, under the following conditions:
(a) such transports of live animals of susceptible species shall be subject to prior authorisation by the competent authorities of the place of dispatch, which must ensure that the transport and port of entry is pre-notified to the central competent veterinary authorities in the United Kingdom at least 3 days in advance;
(b) vehicles entering the parts of the territory of the United Kingdom listed in Annex I and Annex II shall only do so through designated ports of entry, which shall be communicated in advance by the central competent veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom to the competent authorities of the Member States and the Commission;
(c) when animals of susceptible species are transported by road vehicles outside the parts of the territory of the United Kingdom listed in Annex I and Annex II, each vehicle must contain only a single consignment and that consignment must be taken directly to a single holding of destination situated in the parts of the United Kingdom listed in Annex III, in accordance with the applicable Community and national disease control rules;
(d) after unloading the animals at the place of destination, and before departing from Great Britain, the empty transport vehicle shall be taken under the terms of the 'Great Britain national movement license' to an officially approved facility where arrangements are in place to ensure that the provisions in Article 10(1) are strictly applied under official supervision, and that the model certificate provided for in Annex IV can be issued."

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 113d(2) and the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 121 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The protected designations of origin ‘Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene’ and ‘Montello e Colli Asolani’ are referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (2). These designations were replaced by the protected designations of origin ‘Prosecco’, ‘Conegliano Valdobbiadene — Prosecco’, ‘Colli Asolani — Prosecco’ and ‘Asolo — Prosecco’ following the Italian Decree of 17 July 2009 published in the Italian official gazette, Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica italiana No 173 of 28 July 2009.
(2) In that Decree, the vine variety ‘Prosecco’ is now renamed ‘Glera’. To prevent confusion between the name of the protected designation of origin ‘Prosecco’ and the name of the vine variety, the term ‘Prosecco’ should be replaced by ‘Glera’ when it refers to the vine variety in Regulation (EC) No 606/2009.
(3) The Italian authorities have officially indicated that the ‘Prosecco/Glera’ variety may not be cultivated in the Trentino-Alto Adige region; consequently Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should no longer refer to that region as one where that variety may be produced.
(4) There is a typographical error in Annex IA, Appendix 7, to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 in the requirements for electrodialysis treatment. The units for the maximum limit in the simulator should be expressed in μg/l and not in g/l.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be amended and corrected accordingly.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 became applicable on 1 August 2009. To make it consistent with the Italian national legislation and to guarantee identical oenological practices for the 2009 harvests, these amendments and corrections must be applied retroactively as of 1 August 2009.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established by Article 195(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007,
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 606/2009
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is amended as follows:
1. in part B, paragraph 4(a), the second sentence is replaced by the following:
2. part C is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. However, the cuvées intended for the preparation of quality sparkling wines with the protected designations of origin “Prosecco”, “Conegliano Valdobbiadene — Prosecco” and “Colli Asolani — Prosecco” or “Asolo — Prosecco” and prepared from a single vine variety may have a total alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 8,5 % vol.’;
(b) in paragraph 9(a) the second sentence is replaced by the following:
3. in Appendix 1, the term ‘Glera’ is inserted after the term ‘Girò N’ and the term ‘Prosecco’ is deleted.
Correction of Regulation (EC) No 606/2009
In Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009, Appendix 7, point 1.4, sixth subparagraph, the third sentence is replaced by the following:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 (1) of 28 May 1969 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products, and in particular Article 12 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Annex 1 to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, signed at Rabat on 31 March 1969, the Community must take any measures required to ensure that, without prejudice to the levying of a variable component determined in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation No 160/66/EEC (2) no fixed component is levied on imports of the goods under that Regulation which originate in Morocco within the meaning of the Protocol on the definition of the concept of "originating" products and on methods of administrative co-operation, appended to the Agreement;
Whereas as from 1 July 1969, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 shall be substituted for those of Regulation No 160/66/EEC ; whereas those provisions do not, however, amend the system of protection introduced by the latter Regulation in respect of goods imported into the Community from third countries ; whereas, in particular, Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 correspond to Article 12 of Regulation No 160/66/EEC ; whereas the laying down of special provisions for goods originating in Morocco by reference to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 is therefore consistent with Article 3 of Annex 1 to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco;
On imports into the Community of goods coming under Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 and originating in Morocco within the meaning of the Protocol on the definition of the concept of "originating" products and on methods of administrative co-operation, appended to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco: (a) no fixed component shall be levied,

The system laid down by this Regulation shall apply from the entry into force of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco and throughout the application of that Agreement.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 344(4) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, the specific risk of a stock-index future which would be treated as an individual equity in accordance with that Article can be ignored where the relevant stock-index is exchange traded and represents a relevant appropriately diversified index.
(2) Where an exchange traded stock-index future is appropriately diversified, it can be assumed that such stock-index represents no specific risk. This is considered to be the case where the index contains at least 20 equities, no single entity contained within them represents more than 25 % of the total index and 10 % of the largest equities (rounding up the number of equities to the superior natural number) represent less than 60 % of the total index. In addition, the index must encompass equities from at least a national market, and they must comprise equities from at least four industries amongst oil and gas, basic materials, industrials, consumer goods, health care, consumer services, telecommunications, utilities, financials and technology.
(3) Given that Article 344(4) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 refers to ‘relevant’ eligible indices, only those stock indices which are relevant for financial institutions in the Union have been assessed against the criteria for identifying eligible stock indices.
(4) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority to the Commission.
(5) The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

Whereas however certain components, in particular straw and manure, can currently not be obtained in sufficient quantities from organic production; whereas therefore it is appropriate to foresee an appropriate transitional period to permit producers to adapt to the new requirements;
Whereas Article 7(2), third indent, establishes the possibility to define particular labelling requirements for products obtained with the aid of certain products referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91; whereas in this particular production, it is appropriate to foresee an informative labelling with regard to the non-organic origin of the components of the substrate during the transitional period;
Whereas further refinement of the requirements as laid down in this Regulation should be considered, in particular with regard to the conditions of use including the maximum percentage of manure not from holdings producing according to the organic production method, the characteristics and the origin of the mycelium; whereas the preparatory works in this respect should be started in due time in order to be finalised before the end of the transitional period;
Whereas the length of the transitional period may be reviewed in view of any developments with regard to the availability of straw and manure from organic production;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,

if the products referred to in points 5.1(a) and 5.2 are not available from holdings producing according to the organic production method and the need is recognised by the inspection authority or body.
In such cases, the labelling and advertising shall contain a statement, with the wording 'Mushrooms cultivated on a substrate from extensive agriculture which is permitted in organic farming during a transitional period`.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, France’s application to register the name ‘Maine-Anjou’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Italy objected to this registration in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objection was deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) The objection related to non-compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, in particular with regard to the link between the geographical area and the quality of the product. The objection also stated that registration of the name in question would be contrary to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, in particular in view of the conflict between the name to be registered and the name of an animal breed, namely Maine-Anjou.
(4) Lastly, the objection also related to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, in particular with regard to the partially homonymous registered name ‘Bœuf du Maine’.
(5) By letter of 9 July 2009, the Commission asked France and Italy to seek mutual agreement in accordance with their internal procedures.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1433/76 of 21 June 1976 laying down conditions for applying protective measures in the market in rice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 22 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 22 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 makes provision for the application of appropriate measures if, by reason of imports or exports, the Community market in one or more of the products listed in Article 1 thereof experiences or is threatened with serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty ; whereas these measures relate to trade with third countries ; whereas they will no longer apply when the disturbance or threat of disturbance has ceased;
Whereas it is for the Council to adopt detailed rules for the application of Article 22 (1) of that Regulation and define the cases in which and the limits within which Member States may take interim protective measures;
Whereas, therefore, the main factors to be used in assessing whether the Community market is seriously disturbed or threatened with disturbance should be determined;
Whereas, since recourse to protective measures depends on the effect of trade with third countries on the Community market, the situation on this market must be assessed by taking account not only of the factors peculiar to the market itself but also of the factors connected with the development of that trade;
Whereas the measures which may be taken in application of Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 should be laid down ; whereas those measures must be such as to put an end to serious disturbances on the market and the threat of such disturbances ; whereas they must be suited to the circumstances if they are not to have other than the desired effects;
Whereas the organization of the market in rice includes a system of licences and a system of fixing levies and refunds in advance ; whereas in view of the existence of these systems rules should be laid down whereby interim protective measures at Community level can be decided upon after a summary examination of the situation;
Whereas recourse by a Member State to Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 should be limited to a case in which the market of that State, following an assessment based on the abovementioned factors, is regarded as fulfilling the conditions of that Article ; whereas the measures which may be taken in that case should be designed to prevent the market situation from deteriorating further ; whereas, however, they must be of an interim nature ; whereas this interim nature of national measures justifies their application only until the entry into force of a Community decision on the subject;
Whereas the Commission is required to take a decision on Community protective measures to be applied in response to a request from a Member State within 24 hours following receipt of the request ; whereas, in order that the Commission may assess the situation on the market with the greatest effectiveness, provision should be made to ensure that it is informed as quickly as possible of any interim protective measures applied by a Member State ; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for the Commission to be notified of any such (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal. (2)OJ No C 53, 8.3.1976, p. 43.
measures as soon as they have been adopted and for such notification to be treated as a request within the meaning of Article 22 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76,
In order to assess whether the Community market in one or more of the products listed in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, is, by reason of imports or exports, experiencing or threatened with serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty, particular account shall be taken of: (a) the quantities of products for which import or export licences have been issued or applied for;
(b) the quantities of products available on the Community market;
(c) the prices recorded on the Community market or the foreseeable trend of these prices and in particular any excessive upward trend thereof or, in the case of products for which no intervention price has been fixed, any excessive downward trend thereof;
(d) the quantities of products for which intervention measures have been taken or may need to be taken if the abovementioned situation arises as a result of imports.
1. The measures which may be taken under Article 22 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, should the situation mentioned in Article 22 (1) arise, shall be: (a) the total or partial suspension of the advance fixing of levies or refunds, including the refusal of fresh applications;
(b) the total or partial suspension of the issue of import or export licences, including the refusal of fresh applications;
(c) the total or partial rejection of outstanding applications for the advance fixing of levies or refunds and for the issue of licences.
2. These measures may only be taken to such extent and for such length of time as is strictly necessary. They may not extend to products other than those imported from or intended for third countries. They may be restricted to products imported from or originating in particular countries, to exports to particular countries or to particular qualities or types of presentation. They may be restricted to imports intended for particular regions of the Community or to exports from such regions.
3. The rejection of applications mentioned in paragraph 1 shall apply to those submitted during the periods in which the suspensions mentioned in Article 3 or 4 have been in force.
However, if as a result of unexpected circumstances there is or is likely to be a variation in prices such that it is clear that the levy or refund no longer fulfils its purpose, the rejection may relate to applications submitted from the time when such circumstances become apparent.
After a summary examination of the situation based on the factors set out in Article 1, the Commission may establish by Decision that the conditions for applying Article 22 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 are fulfilled. The Commission shall notify Member States of its Decision and shall publish it on a notice board at its headquarters.
The consequence of that Decision for the products in question shall be the temporary suspension of the advance fixing of levies or refunds and of the issue of licences from the time fixed for the purpose, that time being subsequent to the notification.
The Decision shall apply for not more than 48 hours, without prejudice to the provisions of the second sentence of Article 22 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76.
1. A Member State may take one or more interim protective measures if, after an assessment based on the factors set out in Article 1, it considers that the situation foreseen in Article 22 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 has arisen on its own territory.
Interim protective measures may comprise: (a) the total or partial suspension of the advance fixing of levies or refunds;
(b) the total or partial suspension of the issue of import or export licences.
The provisions of Article 2 (2) shall apply.
2. The Commission shall be notified by telex of the interim protective measures as soon as they have been decided on. Such notification shall be treated as a request within the meaning of Article 22 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76. These measures shall apply only until the Decision taken by the Commission on this matter enters into force.
1. Council Regulation (EEC) No 2592/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down conditions for applying protective measures in the market in rice (1) is hereby repealed.
2. References to the Regulation repealed by paragraph 1 shall be construed as references to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1976.

of 23 July 2008
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the extension to non-members of certain rules adopted by producers' organisations in the fisheries sector
(Codified version)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 7(10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2000 of 6 September 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the extension to non-members of certain rules adopted by producers' organisations in the fisheries sector (2) has been substantially amended (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) It is necessary to define criteria for assessing the degree of representativeness of the producers' organisations in the catch sector whose rules it is proposed to extend to non-members. Those criteria should include both the proportion of the total quantities marketed of the species concerned accounted for by the members of the organisation and the proportion of fishermen in the area in question who are members of the organisation. It is also necessary to define specific criteria in the aquaculture sector as regards representativeness.
(3) In order to harmonise the implementation of these measures, the production and marketing rules which may be extended to non-members in the catch and aquaculture sectors should be defined. For the same purpose, the stage to which such extended rules apply should be specified.
(4) A minimum period of application of the rules in question should be fixed in order to maintain a certain stability in the conditions under which fishery products are marketed.
(5) Member States which decide to make obligatory the rules adopted by a producers' organisation are obliged to submit them to the Commission for examination. It is necessary, therefore, to specify what information is to be notified to the Commission.
(6) It is necessary for Member States and the Commission to publish information on the extension of rules which could affect the sector.
(7) Any amendments to the rules extended to non-members should be subject to the same requirements as to notification to the Commission and publication as the original extension.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
1. The production and marketing activities of a producers' organisation in the catch sector shall be considered to be sufficiently representative in the area within which it is proposed to extend the rules if:
(a) marketing by the producers' organisation or by its members of the species to which the rules would apply accounts for more than 65 % overall of the quantities marketed; and
(b) the number of fishermen aboard vessels operated by members of the producers' organisation is more than 50 % of the total number of fishermen established in the area to whom the rules which may be extended would apply.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1(a), account shall be taken of quantities marketed during the previous marketing year.
3. For the purpose of calculating the percentage referred to in paragraph 1(b), fishermen aboard vessels whose overall length is less than or equal to 10 metres shall be taken into account in proportion to the relation between the quantities marketed by such fishermen and the total quantities marketed in the area in question.
4. The production and marketing activities of a producers' organisation in the aquaculture sector as defined in Article 3(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 (4) shall be considered to be sufficiently representative in the area within which it is proposed to extend the rules if production by the producers' organisation or by its members of the species to which the rules would apply accounts for more than 40 % of the quantities produced.
5. For the purpose of applying paragraph 4, account shall be taken of quantities produced during the previous marketing year.
1. The production and marketing rules referred to in Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall include the following elements:
(a) the quality, size or weight and presentation of products offered for sale;
(b) sampling, receptacles used for sales purposes, packaging and labelling and the use of ice;
(c) the conditions of the first placing on the market, which may include rules on the rational disposal of production in order to stabilise the market.
2. In the aquaculture sector, the rules referred to in paragraph 1 may contain measures concerning the placement of juveniles or intervention at other stages of the life cycle of the aquaculture species to which the rules would apply, and, in particular, provisions on the harvesting or storage, including the freezing, of any surplus production.
The minimum period of application of the rules to be extended to non-members shall be 90 days.
Where a Member State decides to extend certain rules adopted by a producers' organisation to non-members, the notification to the Commission referred to in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall include at least:
(a) the name and address of the producers' organisation concerned;
(b) all the information required to show that the organisation is representative, particularly by reference to the criteria set out in Article 1 of this Regulation;
(c) the rules in question;
(d) the justification for the rules, supported by appropriate data;
(e) the geographical area in which it is intended to make the rules obligatory;
(f) the duration of the rules;
(g) the date of entry into force.
Member States shall publish the rules they have decided to make obligatory at least eight days in advance of their entry into force.
Any modification to the rules extended to non-members shall be subject to Articles 4 and 5.
The Commission shall publish in the Official Journal of the European Union its decisions declaring an extension of rules null and void pursuant to the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) and to Article 7(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.
Regulation (EC) No 1886/2000 is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 13a(5)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, all consignments of plants, plant products or other objects listed in Part B of Annex V thereof should in principle be subjected to identity and plant health checks before being permitted to enter the Community.
(2) In order to allow plant health checks to be carried out at a reduced frequency, it is necessary to provide for detailed conditions for the evidence, as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 13a(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC that the plants, plant products or other objects listed in Part B of Annex V thereto, which are introduced into the Community, meet the conditions sets out in that Directive.
(3) Since plants intended for planting and plants, plant products or other objects which are subject to measures adopted in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 2000/29/EC present a high risk of introduction of organisms harmful to plants or plant products, the reduction should not apply to them.
(4) Specific conditions are set out for plants, plant products or other objects which are subject to authorisation of import into the Community under derogation according to the provisions of Article 15(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC. Therefore, the said plants, plant products or other objects should not be subjected to plant health checks at a reduced frequency.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
This Regulation shall apply to the plant health checks provided for in Article 13a(1)(b)(iii) of Directive 2000/29/EC as regards the plants, plant products or other objects listed in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC originating in a specified country, territory or part thereof (hereinafter the products concerned), with the exception of:
(a) plants intended for planting;
(b) any plant, plant product or other object which is subject to authorisation allowing importation into the Community according to the provisions of Article 15(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC;
(c) any plant, plant product or other object which is subject to temporary measures according to the provisions of Article 16(3) of Directive 2000/29/EC;
d) any plant, plant product or other object which is mentioned on the list established pursuant to Article 13a(5)(b) of Directive 2000/29/EC.
1. Any Member State may apply to the Commission to have a product concerned subjected to plant health checks at a reduced frequency. The application shall contain the information set out in Annex I.
2. Respecting the conditions in Article 3 and applying the criteria in Article 4, the Commission shall prepare a list of products concerned for which plant health checks may be carried out at a reduced frequency, and specify the level of the reduced frequency.
3. After consultation within the Committee referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Commission shall publish this list.
The product concerned may be subject to plant health checks at reduced frequency provided that:
(a) the average number of consignments over three years of the product concerned introduced into the Community each year is at least 200, and
(b) the minimum number of consignments of the product concerned for which inspections have been carried out during the previous three years is at least 600, and
(c) the number of consignments of the product concerned each year which were found infected by the harmful organisms mentioned under point (e) of Annex I is less than 1 % of the total number of consignments of the said product concerned imported into the Community, and
(d) the application for the products concerned as referred to in Article 2(1) is available at the Commission.
1. The level of the reduced frequency, as referred to in Article 2(2), shall be based on the following criteria:
(a) the number of consignments of the product concerned intercepted for the presence of harmful organisms included in the list referred to in point (e) of Annex I;
(b) the estimated mobility of the harmful organisms included in the list referred to in point (e) of Annex I at the most mobile stage to which the organism could develop on the relevant plant or plant product;
(c) the number of consignments of the products concerned on which a physical plant health inspection has been carried out;
(d) any other factor relevant to a determination of the phytosanitary risk from the trade concerned.

32004R0844 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 844/2004 of 28 April 2004 initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 119/97 on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of certain ring binder mechanisms consigned from Thailand, whether declared as originating in Thailand or not and making such imports subject to registration
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 844/2004
of 28 April 2004
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 119/97 on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of certain ring binder mechanisms consigned from Thailand, whether declared as originating in Thailand or not and making such imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 461/2004(2) ("the basic Regulation"), and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
The Commission has decided, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate on its own initiative the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in the People's Republic of China ("China").
A. PRODUCT
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is certain ring binder mechanisms, normally declared under CN code ex 8305 10 00 ("the product concerned") originating in China. This CN code is given for information only.
The product under investigation is certain ring binder mechanisms consigned from Thailand (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same codes as the product concerned originating in China.
B. EXISTING MEASURES
The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 119/97(3) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2100/2000(4).
C. GROUNDS
The Commission has at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Thailand of certain ring binder mechanisms.
The evidence available is as follows:
A significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from China and Thailand to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China. Imports of the product under investigation have increased substantially, whereas imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China have decreased following the imposition of measures, and there appears to be insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change. This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from a transhipment via Thailand of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China.
Furthermore, the evidence points to the fact that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China are being undermined in terms of quantity. Significant volumes of imports of the product concerned from Thailand appear to have replaced imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China.
Finally, the Commission has sufficient prima facie evidence at its disposal that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China.
Should circumvention practices via Thailand covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation other than transhipment be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may cover these practices also.
D. PROCEDURE
In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of certain ring binder mechanisms consigned from Thailand, whether declared as originating in Thailand or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
a) Questionnaires
In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in Thailand, the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that lead to the existing measures and to the authorities of China and Thailand. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.
In any event all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation and, if necessary, request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
The authorities of China and Thailand will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
c) Exemption from registration of imports or measures
In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted to producers of the product concerned in Thailand that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
E. REGISTRATION
Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of the registration of such imports consigned from Thailand.
F. TIME LIMITS
In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation;
- producers in Thailand may request exemption from registration of imports or measures;
- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.
G. NON-COOPERATION
In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available. Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to the party than if it had cooperated,
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of certain ring binder mechanisms, falling within CN code ex 8305 10 00 (TARIC codes 8305 10 00 12 and 8305 10 00 22 ), consigned from Thailand, whether originating in Thailand or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 119/97 as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2100/2000.
For the purpose of this Regulation, ring binder mechanisms shall consist of two rectangular steel sheets or wires with at least four half rings made of steel wire fixed on it and which are kept together by a steel cover. They can be opened either by pulling the half rings or with a small steel-made trigger mechanism fixed to the ring binder mechanism.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by Regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. If their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, interested parties must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Producers in Thailand requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40 day time limit.
4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40 day time limit.
5. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for authorisation of certificates of non-circumvention must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as "Limited"(5) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled "For inspection by interested parties".

| COUNCIL DECISION
of 23 February 1989
on a first multiannual programme (1988-1993) for biotechnology-based agro-industrial research and technology development - Eclair (European Collaborative Linkage of Agriculture and Industry through Research)
(89/160/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular to Article 130 Q (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 130 K of the Treaty stipulates that the framework programme shall be implemented through specific programmes developed within each of its activities;
Whereas, by its Decision 87/516/Euratom/EEC, the Council adopted a framework programme of Community research and technological development (1987 to 1991) (4), providing for activities to be implemented to ensure, among other things, the exploitation and optimum use of biological resources;
Whereas the said Decision stipulates that a specific objective of Community research must be to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of European industry, particularly in strategic sectors of advanced technology, and to encourage industry by making it more competitive at international level; whereas that Decision also lays down that Community action is justified if it contributes, among other things, to enhancing the Community's economic and social cohesion and to encouraging its overall harmonious development, while at the same time being consistent with the pursuit of scientific and technical excellence; whereas the Eclair (European Collaborative Linkage of Agriculture and Industry through Research) programme, which is the subject of this Decision, is planned to contribute to the pursuit of these objectives;
Whereas the specialized skills and capabilities relevant to agro-industrial development are numerous, and Europe's most internationally competitive capabilities are located in diverse Member States, mutual benefit shall be derived from collaboration in a Community programme;
Whereas the activities undertaken in the programme need to be accompanied by ongoing analysis of their associated costs and benefits to avoid their giving rise to new industries, which can only survive on the basis of permanently subsidized sales of agricultural products, or to agricultural surpluses;
Whereas such activities should constitute a logical complement to the Community research programmes in the areas of biotechnology and agriculture, promoting the application of their results to the social and economic objectives of the Community.
Whereas the European Parliament has called for a study to be conducted into the structural and social consequences of promoting biotechnologies and genetic engineering and has also pointed to the risks associated with the use, especially the release, of genetically engineered organisms; whereas the revised Community biotechnology research programme adopted on 29 June 1988 (1) is undertaking research into these risks;
Whereas development activities at the interfaces between agriculture and industry could contribute to the solution of some of the problems which agriculture is currently facing within the Community;
Whereas the principal and most urgent requirements that must be satisfied focus on the development of types of agricultural production suitable for industrial purposes, of transformation technologies and of industrial inputs in agriculture, such as pesticides or fertilizers less harmful to the environment;
Whereas it is important to avoid any adverse effects for small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises which may be caused by a concentration of agricultural structures and further specialization;
Whereas it is necessary to involve small and medium-sized agricultural and industrial enterprises to the maximum extent possible in this biotechnology-based agro-industrial technological development programme;
Whereas the Scientific and Technical Research Committee (Crest) has expressed its opinion,
A research and development programme in the field of biotechnology-based agro-industrial research and technology development is hereby adopted in the form set out in Annex I for a five-year period starting on 1 July 1988.
The programme shall consist of work carried out as contract research and as coordination actions and by training/mobility grants. Participants may be industrial and agricultural enterprises - individual enterprises, associations or cooperatives - research institutions, universities or combinations of them, established in the Community.
1. In the case of projects carried out by shared-cost contracts, the Community contribution shall not normally exceed 50 % of the total expenditure, the remainder to be provided by the partners, predominantly from industrial or agricultural sources.
Alternatively, in respect of projects carried out by universities and research institutes, the Community may bear up to 100 % of the additional expenditure involved.
2. The proposals for projects shall be submitted in reply to a call for proposals and involve, as a rule, the participation of at least two independent partners not established in the same Member State. As a rule, research institutes and universities should participate in a group together with one or more industrial or agricultural organization(s). Research institutes which are funded principally or exclusively by industrial organizations shall be considered as industrial partners.
The funds estimated as necessary for the execution of the programme amount to ECU 80 million, including expenditure on a staff of 13.
The Commission shall be responsible for implementing the programme.
The Commission shall be assisted by a committee of an advisory nature, hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee', composed of the representative of the Commission.
1. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the Chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, if necessary by taking a vote.
2. The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes of the Committee; in addition, each Member States shall have the right to have its position recorded in the minutes.
3. The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the Committee. It shall inform the Committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken into account.
1. In the third year of the programme's implementation, the Commission shall undertake a review of the programme and shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the results thereof, together, if necessary, with any proposals for modification of the content and funding, or for prolongation.
2. After the completion of the programme, an evaluation of the results achieved shall be conducted by the Commission, which shall report to the European Parliament and the Council. The report shall be drawn up by independent experts.
3. The reports referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be established having regard to the objectives set out in Annex II and in conformity with the provisions of Article 2 (2) of Decision 87/516/Euratom/EEC.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Council Directive 1999/32/EC of 26 April 1999 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels (1) as amended by Directive 2005/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Article 4c thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4b of the Directive requires that ships at berth in Community ports do not use, from 1 January 2010, marine fuels with a sulphur content exceeding 0,1 % by mass. This requirement does not apply, however, to fuels used on board vessels employing approved emission abatement technologies in accordance with Article 4c.
(2) Article 4c(4) provides that Member States may allow ships to use an approved emission abatement technology as an alternative to using sulphur marine fuels meeting the requirements of Article 4b, provided that these ships continuously achieve emission reductions which are at least equivalent to those which should be achieved through the limits on sulphur in fuel specified in the Directive.
(3) Article 4c(3) provides for the establishment of criteria for the use of technological methods by ships of all flags in enclosed ports, harbours and estuaries in the Community in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 9(2) of the Directive. These criteria are to be communicated to the IMO.
(4) Liquefied natural gas (LNG) Carriers are frequently fitted with dual fuel boilers, using boil-off gas and heavy fuel oil for propulsion and cargo-related operations. In order to meet the requirements of the Directive most LNG Carriers calling at EU ports could use emission abatement technology employing a mixture of marine fuels and boil-off gas to produce sulphur emissions equal to or lower than 0,1 % sulphur fuel emissions.
(5) In the long-term, boil-off gas could be used as a primary fuel at berth, producing lower sulphur emissions than those which would be achieved through the limits on sulphur in fuel specified in the Directive.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established in accordance with Article 9(2) of the Directive,
A Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier (LNG Carrier) is a cargo ship constructed or adapted and used for the carriage in bulk of liquefied natural gas as defined under the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC) Code.
To meet the objective on reducing emissions from ships through an alternative technological abatement method by a mixture of marine fuel and boil-off gas the LNG Carriers shall use and comply with the calculation criteria set out in Annex.
The LNG Carriers may use the alternative technological abatement method while at berth in Community ports, allowing sufficient time for the crew to accomplish any necessary measures to employ a mixture of marine fuel and boil-off gas as soon as possible after arrival at berth and as late as possible before departure.
The achieved emission reductions in sulphur emissions due to the application of the method referred to in Article 2 must be at least equivalent to the reduction that would be achieved through the limits of the sulphur in fuel specified in the Directive.
Member States shall require LNG Carriers which use the alternative technological abatement method and call at ports under their jurisdiction to provide detailed record in the ship’s log-book, containing the type and quantity of fuels used on board. For this purpose, these ships shall be equipped for continuous monitoring and metering of the boil-off gas and marine fuel consumption.
Member States shall take appropriate measures to monitor and verify the use of the alternative technological abatement method while at berth based on the achieved emissions reductions provided by LNG Carriers.

Whereas Article 4a of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 provides for a minimum import price to be observed on imports of dried grapes; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/85 (5) lays down general rules relating to the system of minimum import prices for dried grapes;
Whereas the factors constituting the import price and the procedure for their conversion into the currency of the importing Member State should be specified; whereas to prevent fraud in regard to the minimum import price, only invoices drawn up in the country of origin of the dried grapes should be accepted as documentary evidence;
Whereas the monetary coefficient referred to in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2089/85 constitutes an element of the minimum import price and should be fixed before the beginning of the marketing year; whereas in cases where the parity of a currency changes during the marketing year it may be necessary to amend the monetary coefficient or to introduce new coefficients at short notice; whereas the Commission should be authorized to fix such coefficients; whereas the coefficient should be fixed when the real monetary gap referred to in Article 2 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 of 12 May 1971 on certain measures of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary widening of the margins of fluctuation for the currencies of certain Member States (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (7), is equal to or more than 2,5 percentage points;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The minimum import price shall be respected when the import price expressed in the currency of the importing Member State is not less than the minimum import price applicable on the day on which the entry for release for free circulation is accepted.

(c) if payment has not been effected within the time limit provided for in Article 1 (4),
take the necessary measures to determine the import price, in particular by reference to the importer's resale price.
The importer shall retain evidence of payment to the seller. That evidence and all commercial documents, in particular invoices, contracts and correspondence concerning the purchase and sale of the products shall be kept available for examination by the customs authorities for a period of three years.
1. In cases where, as regards the currency of a Member State, the real monetary gap as referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 974/71 is equal to or more than 2,5 percentage points, the Commission shall fix a monetary coefficient corresponding to the real monetary gap.
However, in cases where, during a marketing year, the real monetary gap differs by less than 2,5 percentage points from that previously fixed, the latter shall continue to be applied.

Whereas Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides, inter alia, that where the free-at-frontier price of a specified product imported from a third country remains below the reference price for at least three successive marketing days and where considerable quantities of that product are imported, import of products listed, inter alia, in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 may be made subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3191/82 (3) laid down detailed rules for the reference price system in the fishery products sector and in particular for the determination of the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 21 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas the reference prices for the frozen squid listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 were fixed for the 1990 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3959/89 (4);
Whereas, in the course of 1989 and for the first five months of 1990, it has been established that the Community has imported squid of the genus Illex and Ommastrephes in frozen form, whole and non-cleaned and in tube at abnormally low prices;
Whereas, for the above products, the free-at-frontier price of significant quantities remained below the reference price for three consecutive working days;
Whereas, since the imported product has the same commercial characteristics as the Community product, these imports have caused a substantial fall in prices for the latter on the Spanish market which has resulted in particular in a fall on the Spanish market of up to 50 % of guide price for the 1990 fishing year;
Whereas, in view of the expected volume of imports, and their prices, there is a danger that this price situation could continue or even worsen in the coming months;
Whereas, in order to avoid disturbances due to offers at abnormally low prices, it is necessary to require imports for the products in question to observe the reference price;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
1. The placing into free circulation in the Community of squid, of the genus Illex and of the species Ommastrephes sagittatus in frozen form, whole and not cleaned and tube, falling within CN codes ex 0307 99 11 and ex 0307 49 51 shall be subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price given in the Annex.
2. However, paragraph 1 shall not apply to products which it is proved that they were in transit towards the Community at the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Interested parties shall provide proof to the satisfaction of the competent customs authorities that the conditions set out in the first subparagraph have been fulfilled, by means of all available customs and road, rail or marine transport documents.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 30 June 1991.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain agricultural and industrial products will remain, in the course of the second half of 1994, unable to met the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Community tariff quotas at zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate columns for the period from 1 June or 1 July 1994 respectively until 31 December 1994, taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or development of Community production;
Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 3466/93 (1) and (EC) No 3672/93 (2) the Council opened, for 1994, Community tariff quotas for certain industrial products, and in particular ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 6 % of carbon (order No 09.2711), ferro-phosphorus (order No 09.2717), magnesium (order No 09.2741), diisopropylnaphtalene (order No 09.2857);
Whereas current economic data suggests that Community demand for non-Community imports of the products in question could in the course of the year exceed the volumes laid down in the above Regulations; whereas the volume of the quota in question should therefore be increased;
Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 3466/93, the Council opened, for 1994, a Community tariff quota for ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 1,5 mm but not more than 2 % of carbon and not more than 55 % of chromium;
Whereas the benefit of this quota should be extended to other import needs and the description of this quota should consequently be amended and its amount increased;
Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up,
1. The customs duties applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended during the periods, at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Directive 80/215/EEC (4) laid down the animal health requirements which must be fulfilled by meat products intended for intra-Community trade;
Whereas the existence of swine vesicular disease in the Community represents a danger for the Community stock of pigs ; whereas, accordingly, steps should be taken to ensure that the disease is not spread in the course of trade in certain pigmeat products;
Whereas the persistence of classical swine fever in certain parts of the Community represents a danger for the stock of pigs of the Member States which are free from the disease ; whereas until such time as classical swine fever has been eliminated in the parts where it still exists, such Member States should be authorized to take additional measures with a view to preventing any contamination in the course of trade,
With effect from 1 November 1980, Directive 80/215/EEC is hereby amended as follows: (a) in Article 4 (1) (b), the following phrase shall be inserted in (ii) before the word "treatment" : "provided that, in addition, the disease in question is not swine vesicular disease";
(b) in Article 7 (1) (a), the words "swine vesicular disease" shall be inserted between the words "classical swine fever" and "or Teschen disease";
(c) Article 10 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 10
With regard to swine fever, Member States which have availed themselves of the authorization laid down in Directive 80/218/EEC and which are officially classical swine fever-free may not oppose the introduction into their territory of meat products which, although they have not undergone one of the forms of treatment referred to in Article 4 (1), have been prepared in whole or in part from fresh pigmeat which satisfies the requirements laid down in Article 13 a of Directive 72/461/EEC, or from fresh pigmeat obtained from pigs vaccinated against swine fever more than three months prior to slaughter."
The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 July 1981 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Until the date on which the Member States are able to comply, and until 1 July 1981 at the latest, Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom are authorized to retain their national rules relating to protection against swine fever upon introduction into their territory of pigmeat products, subject to compliance with the general provisions of the Treaty.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (1), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 72/245/EEC of 20 June 1972 relating to the radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility) of vehicles (2) is one of the separate Directives in the context of the EC type-approval procedure established under 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). The provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 72/245/EEC.
(2) According to point 3.2.9 of Annex I to Directive 72/245/EEC components sold as aftermarket equipment and intended for the installation in motor vehicles do not need type-approval if they are not related to immunity related functions. A transition period of four years starting on 3 December 2004, is provided for, during which a technical service has to determine if the component to be placed on the market is immunity related or not and has to issue an attestation as according to the example shown in Annex III C. Member States are required to report any cases of refusals on safety grounds to the European Commission. That provision requires the Commission to decide, based on the practical experience with that requirement and based on the reports submitted by Member States, before the end of the transition period, if that attestation should still be required in addition to the Declaration of Conformity.
(3) As foreseen in point 3.2.9 of Annex I to Directive 72/245/EEC and having regard to the fact that the European Commission has not received any reports from Member States concerning cases of refusal of attestation, it is now proposed to abolish the involvement of the technical service in the case of components sold as aftermarket equipment and intended for installation in motor vehicles, if they are not related to immunity related functions, and to no longer require the attestation in accordance to the example given in Annex III C, as set out in point 3.2.9 of Annex I.
(4) Directive 72/245/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
Directive 72/245/EEC is amended as follows:
1. In the list of Annexes the following reference to Annex III C is deleted:
‘ANNEX III C Model of attestation with regard to Annex I, 3.2.9.’
2. In Annex I, in point 3.2.9, the second subparagraph is deleted.
3. Annex III C is deleted.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 1 October 2009, 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.
They shall apply those provisions from 2 October 2009.
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.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) Technical advice on organic production has an important role to play in the light of the evolution of the organic sector. It is also necessary to ensure continuity in relation to the work of the group. The application of Decision 2010/206/EU should therefore be extended and the mandate of the permanent members should be renewed for a second three-year term.
(3) In accordance with Decision 2009/427/EC, it is necessary to fix a three-year period for the mandate of the permanent members and the period of application of this Decision. However, substance and practices authorisation procedure, including technical advice, will need to be adapted to forthcoming legislative developments relating to the organic production, if necessary within short time limits. The permanent members of the group should therefore be prepared for a possible review of their mandate in the light of the on-going review of the organic legislation.
(4) Due to the resignations of three permanent members of the group, it is appropriate to appoint three experts from the pool list in Annex II to Decision 2010/206/EU as permanent members. The lists in Annex I and Annex II to that Decision should therefore be updated.
(5) Decision 2010/206/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Ireland submitted an application on 7 August 2009 to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the enterprise Waterford Crystal and in three of its suppliers or downstream producers, and supplemented it by additional information until 3 November 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 2 570 853.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Ireland,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 2 570 853 in commitment and payment appropriations.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 187(a) and (c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides, inter alia, for the opening of import tariff quotas for certain cereals originating in Ukraine until 31 October 2014. The tariff quotas for the agricultural products referred to in Annex III to that Regulation are administered by the Commission pursuant to the rules laid down in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
(2) To ensure that imports of cereals originating in Ukraine within these tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. Therefore Regulations (EC) No 1301/2006 (3), (EC) No 1342/2003 (4) and (EC) No 376/2008 (5) should apply, without prejudice to any derogations provided for by this Regulation.
(3) To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for the submission of import licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in applications and licences should be specified.
(4) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (6) replaced the CN codes of the cereals referred to in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (7) by new codes that differ from the codes referred to in Regulation (EU) No 374/2014. Annex I to this Regulation should therefore refer to the new CN codes.
(5) As the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 19 October 2005
laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The measures provided for in Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2) should ensure the protection of animal health and should contribute to the development of the poultry sector.
(2) Following the outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1, which started in south-eastern Asia in December 2003, the Commission adopted several Decisions to prevent the introduction of this disease into the Community from the affected third countries. Those Decisions provided that imports into the Community from the concerned countries of live poultry, other live birds, poultry meat and certain other products of poultry origin, meat and meat products of wild and farmed game birds, game trophies of birds, eggs and egg products thereof were banned, subject to limited exceptions.
(3) The measures laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 745/2004 of 16 April 2004 laying down measures with regard to imports of products of animal origin for personal consumption (3) clearly apply to meat and meat products of wild and farmed game birds.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 745/2004 requires all Member States to bring the rules as laid down to the attention of passengers at all designated EU points of entry. Member States should ensure that this information is particularly brought to the attention of those passengers arriving from avian influenza affected countries. The information shall be displayed by prominent notices placed in easily visible locations. International passenger transport operators shall draw the attention of all passengers they carry into the Community to the animal health conditions for imports into the Community of products of animal origin.
(5) In relation to the risk that the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 could also be spread due to wild birds and in particular migratory birds, the Commission has also adopted Decisions 2005/731/EC (4), 2005/732/EC (5) and 2005/726/EC (6) providing for additional avian influenza surveillance in domestic poultry and wild birds.
(6) General requirements for the maintenance of a high level of disease preparedness and in particular for the implementation of veterinary supervision and biosecurity measures are laid down in Communit legislation, notably Directives 90/425/EEC and 92/40/EEC.
(7) Highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 has been recently confirmed in Turkey. Circumstantial evidence and molecular epidemiology data strongly suggest that the avian influenza virus has spread into this country proceeding from central Asia via migratory birds.
(8) Avian influenza has also been confirmed in Romania in a backyard poultry farm in an area with a high density of migratory birds.
(9) In order to reduce the risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 introduction into poultry farms and other premises where birds are kept in captivity via wild birds it is appropriate to strengthen the Community measures already in place to tackle that risk.
(10) The measures of this Decision should be risk-based and not limited to short term actions such as those implemented within the framework of the National Contingency Plans for Avian Influenza or Newcastle Disease, in case an outbreak occurs.
(11) The Member States should inform the Commission by 5 November 2005 of the measures taken to ensure proper implementation of this decision. Those measures and, if appropriate, this Decision are to be reviewed in the Standing Committee and Animal Health at its meeting scheduled for 10 and 11 November 2005.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Biosecurity measures
1. Member States shall take appropriate and practicable measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (hereinafter ‘avian influenza’) from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds, taking into account the criteria and risk factors set out in Annex I to this Decision.
2. Depending on the specific epidemiological situation, the measures of paragraph 1 shall be directed in particular at:
(a) preventing direct and indirect contact between birds living in the wild, and in particular waterfowl, on the one hand and poultry and other birds, and in particular ducks and geese, on the other hand,
(b) ensuring separation between domestic ducks and geese from other poultry.
3. Member States shall ensure that when animal health checks are undertaken on poultry holdings, they shall be done in a way to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Decision.
Early detection systems
1. Member States shall introduce early detection systems in the areas of their territory that they have identified as being particularly at risk for the introduction of avian influenza, taking into account the criteria set out in Annex II to this Decision.
2. The early detection systems shall be aimed at a rapid reporting of any sign of avian influenza in poultry and other captive birds by the owners or keepers to the competent veterinary authority.
3. In particular in this context, the criteria set out in Annex II shall be taken into account.
The Member States shall amend their legislation so as to bring it into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediatly inform the Commission of the measures taken to ensure proper implementation of this Decision.
The Decision shall apply until 31 January 2006.

(2) In accordance Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(3) 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.
(4) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

Whereas, by letter dated 16 September 1980, the German Government 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 "Sperry - uniscope 200 display terminal with other peripheral instruments", to be used for data processing, should be considered as 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 29 January 1981, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a terminal with other peripheral instruments;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Sperry - uniscope 200 display terminal with other peripheral instruments", which is the subject of an application by the German Government of 16 September 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 5 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 prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Sweden still has intervention stocks of barley.
(3) Because of the difficult weather conditions in much of the Community, cereal production has been significantly reduced in the 2003/04 marketing year. This situation has resulted in high prices locally, causing particular difficulties for livestock holdings and the feedingstuffs industry, which are finding it hard to obtain supplies at competitive prices.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to make stocks of barley held by the Swedish intervention agency available on the internal market. The period of presentation of the offers for the last partial invitation to tender under Regulation (EC) No 1965/2003(3) having expired on 18 December 2003, it is advisable to open a new standing invitation to tender.
(5) 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.
(6) When the Swedish intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Swedish intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 48048 tonnes of barley held by it.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market.
Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 8 January 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Thursday at 09.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 8 April and 20 May 2004.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial tendering procedure shall be 27 May 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders shall be lodged with the Swedish intervention agency: Statens Jordbruksverk S - 551 82 Jönköping Fax (46-36) 71 95
Within two hours of the expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders, the Swedish intervention agency shall notify the Commission of tenders received. They must be sent by electronic mail in accordance with the form set out in the Annex.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the Commission shall set the minimum sale price or decide not to accept the tenders. If tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a total quantity larger than that available, a separate price may be fixed for each lot.
Where tenders offer the minimum selling price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it sets the minimum selling price.

Whereas a list of establishments in Argentina, approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by the Commission Decision of 25 November 1980, and was amended and published by Decision 81/91/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 83/358/EEC (4);
Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 83/196/EEC of 8 April 1983 concerning on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of health and hygiene of certain establishments has altered since the last inspection; whereas, consequently, it is advisable to enter or retain certain of those establishments on the said list and to limit or withdraw, for reasons of hygiene, Community approval of some other establishments;
Whereas, for the last-mentioned establishments, it is necessary for reasons of hygiene to take special measures regarding entry into the Community of meat which has been obtained or stored therein;
Whereas, to this end, it is necessary, on the one hand, to fix a final date for the introduction into Community territory of meat originating in these establishments and on the other hand to require a special reference in the public health certificate concerning the date before which this meat has been obtained or stored;
Whereas the list of establishments should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Annex to Decision 81/91/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
However:
(a) Fresh meat from establishment Nos 308 and 1920 a) which appeared on the previous list the approval of which is withdrawn shall no longer be introduced into the territory of the Community.
(b) Fresh meat from those establishments authorized to appear until 30 June 1984 on the annexed list may be introduced into the territory of the Community until 15 August 1984.
(c) The health certificate accompanying fresh meat sent from the establishments referred to at point (b) as from 1 July 1984 must bear the reference 'fresh meat obtained before 1 July 1984'.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage should be re-examined to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas, since the introduction of the system, the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the favourable world market situation, has resulted in a significant reduction in intervention cereal stocks;
Whereas on the basis of a forecast supply balance for 1995/96, it appears that the equilibrium sought between production and internal and external outlets may be maintained whilst increasing Community production by returning to cultivation a certain amount of land that has been set-aside; whereas, in order to achieve this objective in an efficient manner, the two rates for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1996 should therefore be set temporarily for the 1996/97 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force,
1. Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
2. Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement for any form of set-aside other than that based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1996/97 marketing year only.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1998 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 prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Belgium still has intervention stocks of wheat.
(3) Because of the difficult weather conditions in much of the Community, cereals production has been significantly reduced in the 2003/04 marketing year. This situation has resulted in high prices locally, causing particular difficulties for livestock holdings and the feedingstuffs industry, which are finding it hard to obtain supplies at competitive prices.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to make stocks of wheat held by the Belgian intervention agency available on the internal market.
(5) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender.
(6) When the Belgian intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Belgian intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 68282 tonnes of wheat held by it.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market.
Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 5 February 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Thursday at 09.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 8 April and 20 May 2004.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial tendering procedure shall be 24 June 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders must be lodged with the Belgian intervention agency: Bureau d'intervention et de restitution belge
(BIRB)
Rue de Trèves/Trierstraat 82 B - 1040 Brussels Fax: (32-2) 287 25 24
Within two hours of the expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders, the Belgian intervention agency shall notify the Commission of tenders received. They must be sent by electronic mail in accordance with the form set out in the Annex.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the Commission shall set the minimum sale price or decide not to accept the tenders.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments in accordance with the abovementioned provisions(1), and having regard to those comments,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) By letter dated 5 March 1996 from the Italian Permanent Representation to the European Union, the Italian authorities notified the Commission of Law No 549/95 introducing tax relief for certain firms (the Law).
(2) By letter of 21 May 1997 the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 6(5) of Decision No 2496/96/ECSC and Article 93(3) (now Article 88(3)) of the Treaty) with regard to the granting of this aid in sensitive industries, including steel, motor vehicles, shipbuilding and synthetic fibres.
(3) The Commission's decision to initiate proceedings was announced in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The Commission there asked interested parties to submit their observations(2).
(4) The Commission received observations from interested parties, which it forwarded to Italy for comment by letter of 24 October 1997.
(5) On 13 May 1998 the Commission adopted Decision 1999/148/EC, ECSC on State aid granted by Italy by way of tax relief under Law No 549/95 to firms in the motor vehicle, shipbuilding and synthetic fibres industries and to steel firms covered by the ECSC Treaty(3). Article 3 of that Decision requires Italy to provide the Commission with all the necessary information and explanations enabling it to assess the compatibility with the common market of the State aid granted to firms in the shipbuilding, motor vehicle and synthetic fibres industries.
(6) Following that Decision the Italian authorities issued Circular No 218/E of 14 September 1998, which was sent to the relevant trade associations and to local offices of the Ministry of Finance, asking firms working in these industries to contact the Ministry of Industry "in order to enable the Ministry to pass on to the Community authorities any information that might help them to assess the compatibility of this tax relief with the common market"(4).
(7) The Italian authorities studied the information received in reply to the Circular, and found that only two undertakings within the scope of the relevant Community rules had received tax relief. These were the shipyards Clemna Soc. Coop. a R.L., where the tax forgone amounted to ITL 46249000, or about EUR 24000, and CRN - Costruzioni Meccaniche Riparazioni Navali Srl, (where the tax forgone amounted to ITL 53708000, or about EUR 27000). Neither of the two firms supplied any information that would be relevant to the assessment of the compatibility of the relief with Community law; Clemna has since been placed in compulsory liquidation. By letter of 6 December 1999 the Italian authorities informed the Commission that the Ministry of Finance would be able to recover the unpaid tax. Subsequently, by letter of 8 May 2000, they informed the Commission that the Ministry had initiated the procedure for the recovery of the tax.
II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AID
(8) The Law provided for investment aid in the form of tax exemptions on reinvested profits. The scheme applied to all firms in Objective 1, 2 or 5(b) areas and to microenterprises outside such areas. Microenterprises were defined as firms which, in the tax period following that in progress on 12 June 1994, had generated a turnover of less than ITL 5 billion and which had a workforce of not more than 20.
(9) Under the Law, 50 % of reinvested profits were exempt from tax. Eligibility for this relief was restricted to profits intended for the financing of investment carried out in 1996 that exceeded the average amount of investment carried out in the previous five years. Eligible investment was investment in new plant, investment for the extension and modernisation of an existing establishment, and investment in the purchase of new capital goods, including capital goods acquired through leasing contracts.
III. COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY ITALY
(10) The Italian authorities have not contested either the form or the substance of the Commission Decision. They have taken the necessary measures to arrive at a solution in keeping with the Community rules (see recital 6), and have taken steps to recover the tax not collected from firms in the industries referred to in the Commission decision initiating the procedure.
IV. ASSESSMENT OF THE AID
(11) The measures in question constitute aid to firms since they have the effect of selectively reducing, for the recipients, the costs normally borne by competing firms. Furthermore, only certain firms qualify for these reductions, more specifically firms located in Objective 1, 2 or 5(b) areas, microenterprises as defined in the Law, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
(12) The aid, granted in the form of tax relief, consequently distorts competition between firms and is liable to affect intra-Community trade.
(13) The firms concerned were subject to the special State aid rules laid down in Council Directive 90/684/EEC on aid to shipbuilding(5), as last amended by Directive 94/73/EC(6). The validity of the Directive was extended by Council Regulation (EC) No 3094/95(7) and by Council Regulation (EC) No 1904/96(8). Article 11(2)(b) of the Directive stipulates that Member States must notify the Commission in advance of any decision to apply a general or regional aid scheme to the firms covered by the directive, and must not put such a decision into effect before it is authorised. The Commission notice of 6 March 1996 on the de minimis rule for State aid(9) does not apply to shipbuilding.
(14) The aid granted to Italy in 1996 in the form of tax relief was not notified to the Commission or authorised by it, and was consequently illegal, as the Commission found in Article 3 of Decision 1999/148/EC, ECSC.
(15) As for compatibility with the common market, the Italian authorities have not supplied any information which would allow it to be concluded that the measures are compatible with Directive 90/684/EC. They have taken steps to recover the money.
V. CONCLUSIONS
(16) The Commission accordingly concludes that the aid granted by Italy in 1996 in the form of tax relief under Law No 549/95 to the shipbuilders Clemna Soc. Coop. a R.L. and CRN - Costruzioni Meccaniche Riparazioni Navali Srl is illegal in that it was not notified to the Commission or authorised by it before it was granted. It is also incompatible with the common market, as it does not qualify for any of the exemptions provided for in Directive 90/684/EEC,
The State aid granted by Italy in the form of tax relief to Clemna Soc. Coop. a R.L. and CRN - Costruzioni Meccaniche Riparazioni Navali Srl, totalling ITL 46249000 and ITL 53708000 respectively, is incompatible with the common market.
1. Italy shall take the measures necessary to recover from the recipients the aid illegally granted to them which is referred to in Article 1.
2. Recovery shall be effected without delay in accordance with the procedures established under Italian law, provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of this Decision. Interest shall be charged on the amount of the aid from the date on which it was granted until the date it is reimbursed. The interest rate applicable shall be that used by the Commission to calculate the net grant equivalent of regional aid schemes.
Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of the notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply herewith.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, as provided for in Article 14, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 5 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1984;
Whereas, in the case of colouring matter of animal origin, falling within subheading 32.04 B of the Common Customs Tariff, the reference base is fixed at 45 200 ECU; whereas, on 7 August 1987, imports of these products into the Community originating in Peru reached the reference base in question after being charged there against; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against Peru,
As from 29 August 1987, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/86, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Peru:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(1), and in particular Article 32 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides for a complete revision of Community rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption, including the introduction of a number of strict requirements. In addition, it provides that appropriate transitional measures may be adopted.
(2) In view of the strict nature of those requirements, it is necessary to provide for transitional measures for Germany and Austria in order to allow industry sufficient time to adjust. In addition, alternative collection, transport, storage, handling, processing and uses for animal by-products need to be further developed as well as disposal methods for those by-products.
(3) In particular the European Parliament has requested transitional measures on category 3 catering waste.
(4) Accordingly, as a temporary measure a derogation should be granted to Germany and Austria to enable them to authorise operators to continue to apply national rules to category 3 catering waste in feed for pigs, taking into account the findings of Commission mission visits to Germany and Austria.
(5) According to the definition of "catering waste" in Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, waste from retail outlets such as supermarkets or food factories that are producing products for retail sale is not "catering waste" and therefore should not be covered by the derogation provided for in this Decision.
(6) In order to prevent a risk to animal and public health appropriate control systems should be maintained in Germany and Austria for the period of the transitional measures.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Derogations regarding category 3 catering waste in feed for pigs and the intra-species-recycling ban on feeding swill to pigs
Pursuant to Article 32(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 and by way of derogation from point (a) and (b) of Article 22(1) of that Regulation, Germany and Austria may continue to grant individual approvals until 31 October 2006 at the latest to operators of premises and facilities in conformity with national rules, to apply such rules and the rules provided for in the present Decision for the use of Category 3 catering waste in feed for pigs, provided that:
(a) the category 3 catering waste originates exclusively in restaurants, catering facilities and kitchens, including central kitchens and household kitchens in the Member States concerned;
(b) the category 3 catering waste is intended exclusively for the production of processed catering waste (swill) for feeding to pigs in the two Member States concerned, and no trade in category 3 catering waste or swill derived therefrom takes place;
(c) the national rules shall include at least the conditions of use provided for in the Annex to this Decision;
(d) no unprocessed or processed category 3 catering waste shall be fed to feral pigs and to farmed wild boars; and
(e) those operators were operating in conformity with national rules on 1 November 2002.
Control measures
The competent authority shall take the necessary measures to control compliance by authorised operators of premises and facilities with the conditions set out in Article 1 and in the Annex.
Withdrawal of approvals and disposal of material not complying with this Decision
1. Individual approvals by the competent authority for the use of category 3 catering waste shall be immediately and permanently withdrawn in respect of any operator, premises or facilities if the conditions set out in this Decision are no longer fulfilled.
2. Any material that does not comply with the requirements of this Decision shall be disposed of in accordance with the instructions of the competent authority.
Annual report and periodic review
1. The competent authority shall by 31 March each year submit a report to the Commission based on the control measures provided for in Article 2.
2. The Commission shall periodically review the operation of this Decision in the light of the annual reports provided for in paragraph 1 and Commission inspections.
Compliance with this Decision by the concerned Member States

| COMMISSION DECISION of 11 March 1991 accepting undertakings offered by certain exporters in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as EPROMs (erasable programmable read only memories) originating in Japan and terminating the investigation with regard to these exporters (91/131/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 Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for in the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In December 1986, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Electronic Component Manufacturers' Association (EECA) allegedly on behalf of practically all actual or potential Community producers of EPROMs (erasable programmable read only memories). The complaint contained evidence of dumping of EPROMs originating in Japan and of substantial injury within the meaning of Article 4 (1) or Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 resulting therefrom. This evidence was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
(2) The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain types of electronic micro-circuits known as EPROMs, falling at the time of initiation within subheading ex 85.21 D of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE codes ex 85.21-47, ex 85.21-69 and ex 85.21-71, originating in Japan and commenced an investigation.
B. PRICE UNDERTAKINGS
(3) The following exporters, namely Fujitsu Ltd, Hitachi Ltd, Mitsubishi Electric Corp., NEC Corp., Sharp Corp., Texas Instruments Japan Ltd and Toshiba Corp., upon a suggestion made by the Commission in accordance with Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, offered undertakings concerning their exports of EPROMs to the Community.
(4) The Commission considers that price undertakings by the Japanese exporters involved would be the most appropriate measure in this case since they could incorporate the necessary conditions to provide the required flexibility. The effect of the said undertakings will be to ensure that sales prices in the Community do not fall below a certain reference price level considered adequate to eliminate to a satisfactory extent the injury caused to the complainant companies, due consideration being given to the exporters' costs of production. The reference price level will be determined quarterly on the basis of constructed values. In addition, the correct operation of the undertakings can be effectively monitored.
(5) In these circumstances, the undertakings offered are considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore be terminated in so far as these exporters are concerned.
(6) Should these undertakings not be respected and withdrawn by the Commission, or should they be denounced by an exporter concerned, the Commission may, in accordance with Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, immediately impose a provisional duty and the Council may impose subsequently a definitive duty on the basis of the findings and conclusions of the investigation referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 577/91 (3).
(7) Objections to this course of action were raised in the Advisory Committee by two Member States. Therefore, in conformity with the provisions of Articles 10 (1) and 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission submitted to the Council a report on the results of the consultation, together with a proposal that the undertakings be accepted and the investigation be terminated.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 February 2007
on reserving the national numbering range beginning with ‘116’ for harmonised numbers for harmonised services of social value
(notified under document number C(2007) 249)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/116/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (the Framework Directive) (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It is desirable for citizens of the Member States, including travellers and disabled users, to be able to reach certain services that have a social value by using the same recognisable numbers in all Member States. At present there is a patchwork of numbering and dialling schemes in the Member States and no common numbering scheme is in operation to reserve the same telephone numbers for such services in the Community. Community action is therefore required for that purpose.
(2) The harmonisation of numbering resources is necessary to allow these services provided in different Member States to be accessed by end-users using the same number. The combination ‘same number — same service’ will ensure that a specific service in which ever Member State it is provided is always associated with a specific number within the Community. This will provide the service with a pan-European identity to the benefit of the European citizen who will know that the same number dialled will give access to the same type of service in different Member States. This measure will encourage pan-European services to develop.
(3) In order to reflect the social function of the services in question, the harmonised numbers should be freephone numbers, without this meaning that operators would be obliged to carry calls to 116 numbers at their own expense. The freephone nature of the numbers is therefore an essential component of the harmonisation being carried out.
(4) It is necessary to attach conditions closely related to controlling the nature of the service provided to ensure that the harmonised numbers are used for the provision of the particular type of service covered by the Decision.
(5) It may be necessary that specific conditions are attached to the right of use for a specific harmonised number, for example, that the associated service should be provided 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
(6) In accordance with the Framework Directive, national regulatory authorities are responsible for the management of national numbering plans and for controlling the assignment of national numbering resources to specific undertakings. In accordance with Article 6 and Article 10 of Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) (2), conditions may be attached to the use of numbers and penalties may be applied in case of non compliance with those conditions.
(7) The list of specific numbers in the numbering range beginning with ‘116’ should be regularly updated in accordance with the procedure in Article 22(3) of the Framework Directive. Member States should make known the existence of such numbers in a manner that is accessible to all interested parties, for example, via their websites.
(8) The Commission will consider revision or further adaptation of the present Decision in the light of experience gained, based on reports provided to the Commission by the Member States, in particular whether a specific service for which a number has been reserved has developed on a pan-European basis.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Communications Committee,
Subject matter and scope
The numbering range beginning with ‘116’ shall be reserved in national numbering plans for harmonised numbers for harmonised services of social value.
The specific numbers within this numbering range and the services for which each number is reserved are listed in the Annex.
Harmonised service of social value
‘Harmonised service of social value’ is a service meeting a common description to be accessed by individuals via a freephone number, which is potentially of value to visitors from other countries and which answers a specific social need, in particular which contributes to the well-being or safety of citizens, or particular groups of citizens, or helps citizens in difficulty.
Reservation of specific numbers within the ‘116’ numbering range
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) numbers listed in the Annex are used only for the services for which they have been reserved;
(b) numbers within the ‘116’ numbering range that are not listed in the Annex are not used;
(c) the number 116112 is neither assigned nor used for any service.
Conditions attached to the right of use for harmonised numbers
Member States shall attach the following conditions to the right of use of harmonised numbers for the provision of harmonised services of social value:
(a) the service provides information, or assistance, or a reporting tool to citizens, or any combination thereof;
(b) the service is open to all citizens without any requirement of prior registration;
(c) the service is not time-limited;
(d) there is no payment, or payment commitment as a pre-requisite to use the service;
(e) the following activities are excluded during a call: advertisement, entertainment, marketing and selling, using the call for the future selling of commercial services.
In addition, Member States shall attach specific conditions to the right of use of harmonised numbers as set out in the Annex.
Assignment of harmonised numbers
1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that as from the 31 August 2007 the competent National Regulatory Authority can assign the numbers referred to in the Annex.
2. The listing of a specific number and the associated harmonised service of social value does not carry an obligation for Member States to ensure that the service in question is provided within their territory.
3. Once a number has been listed in the Annex, Member States shall make known at national level that the specific number is available for the provision of the associated harmonised service of social value, and that applications for the rights of use for this specific number may be submitted.
4. Member States shall ensure that a register of all harmonised numbers, with their associated harmonised services of social value, available in their territory is maintained. The register shall be easily accessible to the public.
Monitoring
Member States shall report periodically to the Commission on the actual use of numbers listed in the Annex for the provision of the related services within their territory.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 243 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Portugal,
Whereas Article 243 of the Act of Accession provides for the progressive abolition of customs duties on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 of products from Portugal and of customs duties on imports into Portugal of products from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas a decision may be taken to reduce these duties at a more rapid rate or to abolish them totally;
Whereas certain agricultural products pay on import into the Community proferential rates negotiated under the Generalized System of Preferences; whereas Article 365 of the Act of Accession provides that Portugal is to reduce progressively with regard to third countries that benefit from the Generalized System of Preferences the variation between the rate of the basic duty and the rate of the preferential duty; whereas the said Article lays down a timetable for the alignment of the rates applied in Portugal with the preferential rates by 1 January 1996; whereas a decision may be taken to align the duties on imports into Portugal with the preferential duties applicable under the Generalized System of Preferences at a more rapid rate;
Whereas raw tobacco is liable in intra-Community trade to customs duties as set out above and whereas non-preferential rates are applied to raw tobacco imported from third countries that benefit from the Generalized System of Preferences; whereas Portugal has requested the abolition of these customs duties for raw tobacco in intra-Community trade and the alignment of the duties currently applied with the preferential rates applicable to this product; whereas, given the trend of the market in tobacco, the customs duties in question should be abolished totally and the abovementioned alignment should be made;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
1. The customs duties on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 from Portugal of unmanufactured tobacco and tobacco refuse falling within CN code 2401 shall be abolished.
Portugal shall abolish the customs duties on imports of these products from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985.
2. For imports into Portugal from third countries that benefit from the Generalized System of Preferences of the products referred to in paragraph 1, the preferential rates applied by the Community shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2651/2000
of 1 December 2000
on the payment of a second supplement to advances on the compensatory aid in the banana sector for 2000
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1467/1999(4), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector. Article 4 of that Regulation lays down the conditions for the payment of advances on the compensatory aid.
(2) The unit amount of advances on the aid, to be determined subsequently for 2000, was set at EUR 17,81 per 100 kilograms in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1157/2000 of 30 May 2000 fixing the compensatory aid for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 1999, the time limit for payment of the balance of the aid and the unit value of the advances for 2000(5). In July, owing to the deterioration in prices on the Community market, a supplement to the advance equal to EUR 7,08 per 100 kilograms was approved by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1641/2000(6).
(3) To take account of the continuing deterioration of prices on the Community market and accordingly of the difficult financial situation in which Community banana producers find themselves, provision should be made for the payment of a second supplement to advances to be paid on quantities marketed in the Community from 1 January to 31 October 2000, without prejudice to the compensatory aid to be set subsequently in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 and Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93. Provision should be made for such supplements to be paid subject to the lodging of a security pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Producer Member States shall pay a second supplement, amounting to EUR 4,80 per 100 kilograms, to advances on compensatory aid as provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 in respect of 2000 on quantities marketed in the Community from 1 January to 31 October 2000.
Such supplements to advances shall be paid on quantities marketed and covered by applications for advances on the compensatory aid in respect of 2000.
Applications for payment of the supplement to advances shall be accompanied by proof that a security of EUR 2,40 per 100 kilograms has been lodged.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 452/2004
of 10 March 2004
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 29,002/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 25 February 1992 authorizing Portugal to use statistics for years earlier than the last year but one and not to take into account certain categories of transactions or to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (92/164/EEC, Euratom)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, under Article 28 (3) of 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 (2), hereinafter called 'the Sixth Directive', the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions; whereas these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base;
Whereas, for the application of the provisions in Article 28 (3) of the Sixth Directive, paragraph 3 (b) of Section IV (Taxation) of Annex XXXII to the Act of Accession of the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities (3) authorizes Portugal to exempt certain transactions listed in Annex F to the Sixth Directive;
Whereas, for the purposes of the breakdown of transactions by statistical category, Portugal is unable to use definitive figures from the national accounts relating to the last year but one before the financial year for which the VAT resources base is to be calculated; whereas Portugal should therefore be authorized to use the national accounts for years earlier than the last year but one;
Whereas precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for one category of transactions listed in Annex F to the Sixth Directive is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the minimal effect of these transactions on Portugal's VAT resources base; whereas Portugal should therefore be authorized not to take these transactions into account for the calculation of the VAT base;
Whereas Portugal is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for four categories of transactions listed in Annex F to the Sixth Directive; whereas it should therefore be authorized to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the breakdown by rate provided for in Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is authorized to use data from the national accounts relating to 1986 for the 1989 and 1990 financial years for which the VAT own resources base has to be calculated.
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base with effect from 1989, Portugal is authorized not to take into account the following category of transactions referred to in Annex F to the Sixth Directive:
- services supplied by authors, artists and performers (Annex F ex point 2).
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base with effect from 1989, Portugal is authorized to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annex F to the Sixth Directive:
1. supply of services by means of agricultural machinery for individual or associated agricultural undertakings (Annex F, point 3);
2. services supplied by undertakers and cremation services, together with goods related thereto (Annex F, point 6);
3. treatment of animals by veterinary surgeons (Annex F, point 9);
4. supplies of those buildings and land described in Article 4 (3) (Annex F, point 16).
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
