Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/2/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Italian Republic,
Whereas in Italy the production of rice seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC was insufficient in 1989 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Italy should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 May 1990, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply Italy with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for Italy;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Italian Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1990, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 1 000 tonnes of seed of rice (Oryza sativa L.) of the category 'certified seed of the first generation' or 'certified seed of the second generation', which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the maximum number of red seeds, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the number of red seeds of rice in a sample of 500 grams shall not exceed, in the case of certified seed of the first generation, six, or, in the case of certified seed of the second generation, eight;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- (in the case of certified seed of the first generation) 'six red seeds in 500 g sample' or (in the case of certified seed of the second generation) 'eight red seeds in 500 g sample',
- 'intended exclusively for Italy'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 1 000 tonnes of rice seed provided that it is intended exclusively for Italy. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 July 1990 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1990 concerning applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America (Guzman SA) (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (91/166/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 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 (2) amended Regulation (EEC) No 1282/81 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America. Anti-dumping duty of 5,9 % was applied to the American company US Industrial Chemicals Co., later to become Quantum Chemical Corporation, to which the 5,9 % duty was declared to be applicable by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2166/89 (4).
(2) Council Regulation (EEC) No 490/90 (5) repealed Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 and terminated the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States. Thus, since 2 March 1990, anti-dumping duty can no longer be imposed on imports of vinyl acetate monomer.
(3) Commission Decision 90/462/EEC (6), which sets out the details of the case, the procedure, and the arguments of the applicant, refunded part of the anti-dumping duties paid by Guzman SA, Valencia, Spain, in respect of the import in the period June 1988 to 31 March 1989 of vinyl acetate monomer exported by the Quantum Chemical Corporation of the United States and sold by its subsidiary, Quantum Chemical Europe BV. The Decision stated that a decision would be taken on Guzman's applications for the period 1 April 1989 to 1 March 1990, the expiry date of the anti-dumping duty applied.
(4) For this second period, Guzman SA submitted recurring applications for a full refund of the anti-dumping duty paid, a sum of Pta [. . .] (7).
(5) The applicant was informed of the results of the examination after the evidence adduced had been verified and had the opportunity to submit its comments.
(6) Pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the applications' admissibility and merits. No Member State raised any objection.
B. ADMISSIBILITY
(7) The applications are admissible in that they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular with regard to time limits.
C. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(8) The applications appear to be well founded. The applicant, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, supplied evidence that enabled the Commission to verify that the actual dumping margin was nil at the time the imports in question were effected. Accordingly, Guzman's applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties paid between April 1989 and 1 March 1990 must be granted.
D. AMOUNT TO BE REFUNDED
(9) The sum of Pta [. . .] is therefore to be refunded to Guzman SA.
The applications submitted by Guzman SA, Valencia, Spain, for the refund of Pta [. . .] paid in anti-dumping duties between April 1989 and 1 March 1990 are hereby granted.
The sum set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the Spanish authorities.

Whereas that adaptation should take account, inter alia, of the progression of the 'horeca` price index for Belgium;
Whereas, however, the allowances should not be increased for beneficiaries who do not incur the expense of an overnight stay at the place of work or do not furnish satisfactory proof of such expense,
Article 2 of Council Decision 81/121/EEC of 3 March 1981, as last amended by Council Decision 92/243/EEC of 29 April 1992, shall be repealed and replaced by the following:
'Article 2 1. The daily allowance per travel day shall amount to:

2. The daily allowance per meeting day shall amount to:

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 9 September 1981, Belgium has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Ortec-position emission tomograph, Neuro Ecat, model Ecat IV', to be used for cranium scanning and experiments on little animals, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 4 February 1982 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 tomograph; 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 'Ortec-position emission tomograph, Neuro Ecat, model Ecat IV', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 9 September 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the Community and the weightings applicable to remuneration paid in the currency of the country of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined accordingly with effect from 1 July 2002.
(2) Under Annex X to the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six months and it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half year.
(3) The weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2002, in respect of which payment has been made on the basis of a previous regulation, could lead to retrospective adjustments to remuneration (upwards or downwards).
(4) Provision should be made for back payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings.
(5) Provision should be made for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a reduction in remuneration as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 July 2002 and the date of the Council decision setting the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2002.
(6) However, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the European Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Communities, such recovery should be restricted to a period of no more than six months preceding the decision, and for its effects to be spread over a period of no more than 12 months following the date of that decision,

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 March 1987
on the initiation of an international consultation and disputes settlement procedure concerning a United States measure excluding imports of certain aramid fibres into the United States of America
(87/251/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 of 17 September 1984 on the strengthening of the common commercial policy with regard in particular to protection against illicit commercial practices (1), and in particular Article 11 (2) (a), thereof,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) On 9 December 1985, the Commission received a complaint alleging that the application of Section 337 of the US Tariff Act of 1930 in the matter of 'certain aramid fibres', an action instigated by E.I. Dupont de Nemours (hereinafter Dupont), constituted an illicit commercial practice of the United States Government, and that the resulting order by the US International Trade Commission (USITC) to exclude from the US market unlicensed importations of certain forms of aramid fibre manufactured outside the United States by a Community producer, AKZO NV or its affiliated companies (hereinafter AKZO), was thereby causing or threatening to cause injury to a Community industry.
(2) The complaint was lodged on behalf of the AKZO group by ENKA BV of the Netherlands, the sole producer of aramid fibres in the Community. The complaint contained evidence judged by the Commission to be sufficient to warrant the opening of an investigation procedure under Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84.
(3) An examination procedure was initiated on 5 February 1986 (2). Details of the Community producer's allegations are contained in the notice of initiation.
(4) Following the publication of the notice of initiation numerous letters were received from the Union des Industries de la CommunautĂŠ EuropĂŠenne (UNICE), other national industrial organizations, as well as from individual trade organizations and companies supporting the complaint. UNICE in particular complained of certain aspects of Section 337 alleging, inter alia, harassment and inequitable treatment.
(5) The Commission notified the parties known to be concerned and gave them the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The Commission received and examined extensive written submissions from the interested parties. In addition, hearings were granted to those primarily concerned parties who made such a request, i.e. AKZO and Dupont. No such request was made by the United States Government. Due to the
complexities of the United States legal issues under examination, the expert opinion of a United States patent lawyer was also sought by the Commission on the 'counterclaims' issue.
B. The alleged illicit commercial practice
(6) The Community producer alleged, inter alia, that the procedure followed by the ITC in the aramid fibre case pursuant to Section 337, and the resulting exclusion order, constituted an illicit commercial practice of the United States Government within the meaning of Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84. Specifically, it was claimed that national treatment provided for by Article III (4) of the GATT had been denied in the ITC procedure in question. It was further alleged that it was impossible under the Section 337 ITC proceedings to raise a counterclaim which was considered to be essential to an effective defence; that full access to vital evidence presented by Dupont, the complainant in the ITC, was denied and in consequence the respondents were thereby prevented from effectively defending their case.
It was claimed that the ITC proceeding conducted in respect of certain aramid fibre produced by them was not 'necessary' within the meaning of Article XX (d) of the GATT for the protection of United States patent rights, so that the resulting exclusion order did not fall within the exceptions provided for under this article. It was also alleged that the exclusion order was causing both present and future injury to a Community industry.
(7) The United States Government responded by stating that the allegations were unfounded, that the issue in dispute was between private parties regarding the extent of rights conferred by national process patents, and that any EEC investigation of 'illicit commercial practices' should be based on evidence of a pattern, and not on the basis of a single dispute. It was further stated that the allegations made by the Community producer were essentially those asserted by Canada during a GATT panel procedure in the 'Spring Assemblies' case in 1982. It was further asserted that the complaint of the inability to raise counterclaims in ITC proceedings as opposed to a United States District Court, was currently under review by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the appeal brought by AKZO against the ITC final order, and thus any Community investigation on this point was premature.
(8) Dupont, in supporting the United States Government's position, submitted, inter alia, that the Community producer had benefitted from a full and fair opportunity to defend itself in the ITC proceeding and enjoyed protection and rights of review which are not available to defendants in patent litigation in United States District Courts. On the impossibility of raising counterclaims, Dupont asserted that the complainant could not have defended its infringement of Dupont's patent in a United States District Court by alleging the invalidity of other Dupont patents or by alleging that Dupont was infringing one of the complainants United States process patents.
C. Recent developments
(9) On 22 December 1986 the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied an appeal brought by AKZO against the exclusion order issued by the USITC under Section 337 prohibiting the importation into the United States of aramid fibres manufactured by AKZO in the Netherlands.
On 5 February 1987 the same court and judges, on appeal by AKZO, confirmed a ruling of the District Court of Richmond, Virginia, on 23 May 1986 which had declared that Dupont was not infringing AKZO's solvent process patent as AKZO had claimed and had upheld Dupont's counterclaim that the solvent patent was in any event invalid for obviousness.
D. The Commission's view
(10) It is not for the Commission, under Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, to pronounce on the merits or otherwise of AKZO and Dupont's claims relating to their respective patents for aramid fibre which are in dispute. Nor does the Commission consider it appropriate or necessary, in this Decision, to address the question of whether the ITC procedures infringe the due process requirements of the United States constitution.
On the other hand, the Commission considers it to be relevant within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, to examine the practice of the United States authorities whereby imported goods, by virtue of their non-US origin, are subjected to a separate and distinct procedure for the purpose of enforcing private intellectual property rights, and to determine in this connection whether non-US origin goods are subjected to less favourable treatment as a result. Even if Section 337 does not specifically discriminate against foreign undertakings by virtue of their foreign status, in that it applies, in principle, to foreign and domestic undertakings alike, nonetheless Section 337 gives the ITC commission separate and distinct jurisdiction over products imported from a foreign country even if they are manufactured/imported by a United States undertaking or subsidiary. It is relevant to observe in this connection that virtually all Section 337 cases of the ITC and the Tariff Commission (the predecessor of the ITC) have involved foreign firms and foreign-manufactured goods, and that in practice Section 337 applies almost exclusively to foreign firms and products.
(11) In the Commission's view, the relevant enquiry is whether or not the different rules of procedure applicable in the ITC under Section 337 result in a denial of national treatment within the meaning of Article III of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and whether this denial comes within the exception provided for in Article XX (d) or is in violation of the Agreement.
The purpose of an examination procedure under Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 is not to reconsider the findings of courts of a third country in disputes between private parties. The Commission is concerned with the AKZO/Dupont aramid fibre case before the ITC because it is a case in which national treatment, as required by the GATT, was not obtained.
(12) From the opinion and supporting evidence submitted by the United States legal expert, and from certain comments in the submissions of the interested parties, the Commission has concluded that, contrary to that which occurred in the ITC proceedings, the Community producer would have had the possibility under the rules applied by a United States Civil Court to make a counterclaim in the same action, alleging infringement of its own patent by the plaintiff which might have resulted in a different outcome of the dispute between the parties. The Commission has therefore concluded that the procedure under Section 337 in the ITC is less favourable to respondents than the procedures in the United States courts in respect of goods produced in the United States and therefore results in a denial of national treatment which is contrary to Article III of GATT.
Section 337 procedure is not necessary in the sense that, as the practice in pratically all other countries shows, infringements of domestic patents by imports can be dealt with in the same way as infringements by domestic products. Therefore, the application of Section 337 of the United States Tariff Act 1930 constitutes an illicit commercial practice within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84.
E. Injury
(13) In making its determination of injury the Commisison considered, inter alia, the following factors:
(a) the volume of Comunity exports concerned;
(b) prices;
(c) the consequent impact on the Community producer as indicated by the trend in economic factors such as production, sales, profitability, etc.
Considering that the exclusion order was issued in November 1985 and actual (limited sale) commercial production by the Community producer only started in mid-1986, the Commission considers that there is no present material injury resulting from the ITC exclusion order.
However, in a case where threat of injury is alleged - as in the present case - the Commission must examine whether or not any future injury is clearly foreseeable. In this respect, the complainant's arguments of loss of direct sales to the United States and the Community in the period up to 1990 and beyond were found to be convincing.
(14) Accordingly, although the Commission considers that the Community producer has failed to prove that the Community industry has already beene materially injured by the ITC exclusion order, it nonetheless finds the evidence submitted by the complainant in support of its allegations sufficient to demonstrate the existence of a threat of injury.
F. Community interest
(15) In the light of the results of the investigation, it appears that an important question of the application of GATT is at issue which has considerable economic implications. The previous findings of the GATT in the 'Spring Assemblies' case did not deal with the question of the compatibility of Section 337 with Article III of GATT. In view of the foregoing and the past criticisms raised by the Community against certain aspects of Section 337, the Commission considers that it is in the Community interest to initiatie international consultation and dispute settlement procedures with a view to achieving the alignment of United States legislation with its international obligations. G. Conclusion and action to be taken
(16) The Commission, having completed the examination procedure provided for under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84, considers that the application of Section 337 of the United States Tariff Act of 1930 in the case of certain aramid fibre contains sufficient evidence of an illicit commercial practice and resultant threat of injury as defined by the said Regulation to warrant further action.
(17) The Advisory Committee has been consulted as provided for under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 as to the Comission's findings and on the decision to be taken, both of which met with the general agreement of the Advisory Committee,
The procedure for consultation and dispute settlements referred to in Article XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is to be initiated concerning the application of Section 337 of the United States Tariff Act of 1930 in respect of certain aramid fibre manufactured by AKZO NV or its affiliated companies outside the United States. | 0.25 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties that have been fixed as from 15 May 2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2003(3) as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be adjusted in compliance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 and fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopt a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 1,224 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C(96) 3646 of 13 December 1996;
Whereas the German Government has submitted to the Commission on 12 August 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the Land Saarland; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (11), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas certain measures planned under this single programming document include the part-financing of aid schemes which have not yet been approved by the Commission; whereas the financial commitments should be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/5 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the Land Saarland concerned by Objective 2 in the Federal Republic of Germany, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
The single programming document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in the Federal Republic of Germany;
the main priorities are:
1. research and technology environment, infrastructure,
2. ecology, energy, economy,
3. technology advice and promotion,
4. promotion of human resources to support technological and organizational change in the labour market,
5. interregional cooperation, preparatory and accompanying measures, evaluation, technical assistance;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the single programming document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the provisions on financial implementation,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality and an initial evaluation of the latter;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the single programming document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
2. To this global maximum allocation is added an amount of ECU 1,224 million not subject to indexation, resulting from unused appropriations of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996.
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 58,918 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the single programming document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 67,507 million for the public sector and ECU 190,401 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 41,610 million,
- ESF:ECU 17,308 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 11,961 million,
- ESF:ECU 5,533 million.
In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 7, these commitments do not include the amounts relating to the aid schemes not yet approved by the Commission. The corresponding commitments will be made after the approval of the aid schemes concerned.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measures 6.2.2 and 6.3.1. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended by Decision 94/370/EC (2), and in particular Article 38 thereof,
Whereas Council Directives 90/675/EEC (3) and 91/496/EEC (4), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden, lay down principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products and animals entering the Community from third countries and allow for Member States, in particular Austria, to be granted financial assistance from the Community for the purposes of implementation of these checks;
Whereas, given its geographical situation, Austria will have particularly heavy responsibilities in performing checks on live animals and animal products from third countries; whereas inspection posts will be required on the borders with six third countries;
Whereas Austria has submitted to the Commission a national programme for improving its checking arrangements at external borders for animals and animal products; whereas the programme includes construction and renovation of the necessary infrastructure, purchase of equipment and recruitment of additional personnel, and is accompanied by the appropriate financial information;
Whereas reinforcement of veterinary control at external borders is, on account of the establishment of the internal market, one of the priorities for Community action;
Whereas however the Community's financial contribution must fall within the limits of the appropriations available; whereas it is accordingly necessary to decide on priorities for action so that Community funds are used most effectively;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The programme indicated in the Annex hereto is approved for three years from 1 January 1995.
1. The Community's financial contribution shall be 50 % of the total cost of the programme up to a maximum of ECU 5 million.
2. Each year, for the first time in 1995, the Community financial contribution shall be granted in the following way:
- an advance of 50 % of eligible expenditure for the year in question at the beginning of that year. In the case of the first year operations must commence by 1 January 1995,
- the balance at the end of the year. In the case of the last year the balance shall be paid on termination of operations, which must be by 31 December 1997.
1. Payments shall be made in ecus.
2. The payment referred to in the first indent of Article 2 (2) shall be made on submission to the Commission of an application for an advance.
3. The payment referred to in the second indent of Article 2 (2) shall be made on submission of supporting documents.
This Decision shall apply as from 1 January 1995, subject to the entry into force of the Treaty concerning the accession of Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(2), and in particular Article 4(6), Article 5(4) and Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001(3) lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat as regards premium schemes, but does not define how the conversion of the premiums and payments into the national currency in the Member States not having adopted the euro should be carried out. For that reason there is a need to define the method of conversion into national currencies and in particular the operative event and the exchange rate applicable.
(2) As to the operative event, for applying the criteria set forth in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, it is appropriate to define it as the first day of the calendar year for which the premia are paid. As to the exchange rate to apply, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2452/2000(5), lays down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture. Article 1 of this Regulation states that the exchange rate to be used shall be the rate most recently fixed by the European Central Bank (ECB) prior to the operative event.
(3) However, for the purposes of attaining the goals of the sheep and goat common market organisation, the rate applicable on the date of the operative event should be fixed in such a way as to ensure in principle that such aids, premiums and amounts do not undergo any sharp fluctuations on conversion into national currency due to the exchange rate on a single date. To this end, the best solution appears to be an average of the exchange rates applicable during the month preceding the year in respect of which the premium is granted, calculated pro rata temporis.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Sheep and Goats Management Committee,
The following Article is hereby added to Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001: "CHAPTER IIIa
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8a
Conversion into national currency
The operative event for the exchange rate to be applied to the amount of the premiums and payments referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 11 of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 shall be the commencement of the calendar year in respect of which the premium or payment is granted.
The exchange rate to be used shall be the average of the exchange rates applicable in the month of December preceding the date of the operative event, calculated pro rata temporis. It shall be fixed by the Commission during the month following the date of the operative event."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 February 1985
concerning an application for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of glass textile fibres (rovings) originating in Czechoslovakia
(Only the German text is authentic)
(85/166/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) On 18 June 1983 the Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1631/83 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of glass textile fibres (rovings) originating in Czechoslovakia. The amount of the duty was equal to the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price, before duty, was less than 0,97 ECU per kilogram. On 16 December 1983, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3540/83 (3), a definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed. The amount of the duty is equal to the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price before duty is less than 1,07 ECU per kilogram. The amounts secured by way of provisional duty from 18 June 1983 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1631/83 were definitively collected up to the amount of the provisional duty.
(2) On 18 November 1983 MBG GmbH and Co., Frankfurt/Main, on 25 October 1983 Fibron Wolfgang Mellert GmbH, Bretten/Baden, and on 5 March 1984 Menzolit-Werke, Albert Schmidt GmbH and Co. KG, Menzingen, importers of rovings from Czechoslovakia, applied to the German authorities for a refund of the amounts of DM 85 473,71, DM 92 220,75 and DM 66 010,36 respectively, in connection with their imports of rovings from Czechoslovakia. These sums were provisional anti-dumping duties which were collected. The German authorities forwarded the applications to the Commission.
(3) Following the submission by the applicants of further supporting evidence the claims were examined by the Commission. The applicants were informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment on them. The comments made were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. All Member States agreed with this opinion.
B. Arguments of the applicants
(5) The applicants have based their claims on the allegation that because the Commission used more up-to-date rates of exchange when discussing a possible undertaking, before the imposition of the provisional duty, the official rate of exchange should not have been used when calculating the amount of the duty to be paid in national currency. The difference between the two rates is requested as a refund by the applicants.
C. Admissibility
(6) The applications are admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular those concerning time limits.
D. Merits of the claim
(7) The applications would be justified if the importers had shown that the amounts of duty collected exceeded the actual dumping margin. In the case in question, the dumping margin amounts to 56,03 %. However, as a lower amount was considered sufficient to eliminate the injury, the provisional duty was fixed at a lower level, i.e. the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price, before duty, was less than 0,97 ECU per kilogram. This, based on the exchange rates valid during the investigation period, corresponded to a duty of approximately 13 %.
(8) Concerning the collection of this variable duty, Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1631/83 clearly stated that 'the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply for the application of the duty'. Consequently, the duty set in ECU had to be expressed in national currencies in conformity with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2779/78 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 289/84 (2).
(9) The Commission is well aware of the fact that the rate of exchange altered while the provisional duty was in operation. This matter was considered when the decision was made about the definitive collection of the amounts secured by way of provisional duty. It was found that, although there was an alteration in the exchange rate for the German mark between the date when securities were deposited and the date when these securities were definitively collected, the amount of that provisional duty did not exceed the definitively established margin.
(10) The applicants argue that the abovementioned alterations in the exchange rates should not lead to any supplementary collection of duties. They also allege that these alterations led to the collection of duties, the amount of which exceeded the actual dumping margin.
(11) The Commission has examined these allegations and has come to the conclusion that the mere fact that the effective rate of a duty in national currency has increased as a result of a change in exchange rates does not give a right to a refund pro tanto. As to the relation between duties collected and the dumping margin, it has, after re-examination of the matter, been found that the amounts collected, whatever exchange rate is applied - either the one valid at the time when securities were deposited, or the one valid during discussions for a possible undertaking or finally the one valid at the time of collection of the provisional duties - did not exceed the actual dumping margin.
(12) The applications have, thus, to be rejected,
The refund claim submitted by MBG GmbH and Co., Frankfurt/Main, Fibron Wolfgang Mellert GmbH, Bretten/Baden and Menzolit-Werke, Albert Schmidt GmbH and Co. KG, Menzingen, is hereby rejected.

of 26 October 2009
opening and providing for the management of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the period 2010 to 2012 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 824/2007
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Community supplies of certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries. In the last 10 years the EU self-sufficiency rate for fishery products has decreased from 57 % to 36 %. It is in the Community’s interest to suspend in part or in whole the customs duties for those products, within Community tariff quotas of an appropriate volume. In order not to jeopardise the Community production of fishery products and to ensure an adequate supply to the EU processing industry, such tariff quotas should be opened in accordance with the sensitivity of the product in question on the Community market. It is therefore appropriate to open such tariff quotas for the period 2010 to 2012, applying a reduction or elimination of customs duties.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 824/2007 of 10 July 2007 opening and providing for the management of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the period 2007 to 2009 (1) should be replaced by this Regulation in order to guarantee the appropriate supply conditions for the Community industry for the period 2010 to 2012.
(3) Equal and uninterrupted access to those tariff quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied without interruption to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the tariff quotas have been used up.
(4) To ensure the efficiency of a common management of the tariff quotas, Member States should be permitted to draw from the quota amount the necessary quantities corresponding to their actual imports. Since that method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, the latter should in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and should inform the Member States accordingly.
(5) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) provides for a system of tariff quota management which follows the chronological order of the dates of acceptance of the declarations of release for free circulation. The tariff quotas opened by this Regulation should be managed by the Commission and the Member States in accordance with that system.
(6) Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 824/2007 should be repealed with effect from 1 January 2010.
(7) Given the urgency of the matter, it is important to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,
1. Import duties on the products listed in the Annex shall be suspended, within tariff quotas, at the rates, for the periods and up to the amounts indicated therein.
2. Imports of the products listed in the Annex shall be covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1 only if the declared customs value is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be fixed, in accordance with Article 29 of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (3).
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The Commission and customs authorities of Member States shall cooperate closely to ensure the proper management and control of the application of this Regulation.
Regulation (EC) No 824/2007 shall be repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012.
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 24 March 1986
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hardboard originating in Portugal
(86/99/EEC)
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 380 thereof,
Whereas:
On 19 February 1985, the Commission initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hardboard originating in Argentina, Portugal, Switzerland and Yugoslavia and commenced an investigation (1). The product concerned is fibre building board of wood weighing more than 0,80 g/cm3 (hardboard) falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 44.11 and corresponding to Nimexe codes 44.11-10 and 20.
On 1 January 1986, Portugal became a Member State of the European Economic Community. According to the last sentence of Article 380 (3) of the Act of Accession, anti-dumping proceedings instituted against the new Member States before accession to the Community as constituted until 31 December 1985 shall be pursued in accordance with Article 380 (1).
This latter Article provides for certain measures to be taken in cases where the Commission finds that dumping is being practised between the Community as constituted until 31 December 1985 and the new Member States. It further stipulates that such finding has to be made while the transitional measures laid down under the Act of Accession for each case are in force.
The Act of Accession, however, does not lay down any transitional measures for the product here concerned. As of the date of accession no customs duties or quantitative restrictions apply to trade in hardboard between Portugal and the Community as constituted until 31 December 1985 or to trade between Portugal and Spain, according to Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the Act of Accession concerning the exchange of goods between Spain and Portugal for the period during which the transitional measures are applied.
Furthermore, the commercial practices of the Portuguese producer and exporter concerned in the present proceeding are fully subject to the competition rules provided for by the EEC Treaty, in particular Articles 85 and 86 thereof, as well as to the Court of Justice of the European Communities in competition matters.
Consequently, it does not seem appropriate to continue the present proceeding under Article 380 (1) of the Act of Accession.
In view of the above, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hardboard from Portugal should be terminated.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hardboard originating in Portugal is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas in accordance with Commission Decision 92/160/EEC (4), as last amended by Decision 97/10/EC (5), imports into the Community of equidae from Russia were only allowed from the territories west of the Ural Mountains;
Whereas following the confirmation of the presence of dourine in Russia, the Commission adopted Decision 96/487/EC (6);

Whereas the foreseeable receipts, prior to adjustment, of the levies to be collected in respect of the 1993/94 marketing year are below the equivalent of the average loss multiplied by the exportable surplus; whereas accordingly, in the light of the data at present available, the maximum amount of the B levy for 1993/94 should be raised to 37,5 % of the intervention price for the white sugar concerned;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, subject to Article 28 of that Regulation, the minimum price for B beet is 68 % of the basic price for beet; whereas Article 28 (5) of the said Regulation provides that the revised maximum percentage for the B levy should be fixed for the current marketing year before 15 September of that marketing year, together with the corresponding adjustment of the minimum price for B beet set for the 1993/94 marketing year by way of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1550/93 (3); and reduced as a result of the monetary realignments during the 1992/93 marketing year by Commission Regultiation (EEC) No 1724/93 (4);

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1300/2008
of 18 December 2008
establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (2) requires that, to achieve the objective provided for therein, the Community is to apply the precautionary approach in taking measures designed to protect and conserve living aquatic resources, to provide for their sustainable exploitation and to minimise the impact of fishing activities on marine ecosystems.
(2) Recent scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) indicates that the stock of herring (Clupea harengus) in the waters to the west of Scotland is slightly overfished with respect to the objective of maximum sustainable yield.
(3) It is appropriate to establish a multi-annual plan with the objective of ensuring that the stock will be exploited in conformity with the principle of maximum sustainable yield and under sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions.
(4) For this purpose, the plan should aim at progressive implementation of an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management, and should contribute to efficient fishing activities within an economically viable and competitive fisheries industry, providing a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing herring distributed to the west of Scotland and taking the interests of consumers into account.
(5) Scientific advice from ICES and STECF indicates that the stock of herring in the waters to the west of Scotland, if exploited at a fishing mortality rate of 0,25 when the stock biomass level is equal or superior to 75 000 tonnes and of 0,2 when the stock biomass level is less than 75 000 tonnes but equal or superior to 50 000 tonnes, will be sustainable and this stock will provide a reasonably high yield.
(6) That advice should be followed by establishing an appropriate method for fixing the total allowable catches (TACs) for herring stock in the waters to the west of Scotland at a level consistent with an appropriate long-term fishing mortality and with respect to the biomass level of that fish stock.
(7) To ensure stability with respect to the fishing opportunities, it is appropriate to limit the variation in the TACs from one year to the next when the stock biomass level is equal or superior to 50 000 tonnes.
(8) In order to ensure compliance with the measures laid down in this Regulation, control measures are needed in addition to those laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1627/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down general provisions concerning special fishing permits (3), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States′ catches of fish (5).
(9) Rules should be established to qualify the multi-annual plan introduced by this Regulation as a recovery plan within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and for the purposes of Article 21(a)(i) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund (6), or as a management plan within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and for the purposes of Article 1(a)(iv) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006, taking into account the biomass stock level.
(10) The establishment of total allowable catches, the revision of minimum fishing mortality rates and certain adjustments which have to be made to the management and recovery plans in the light of their effectiveness and operation constitute measures of prime importance for the dCommon fisheries policy. It is therefore appropriate that the Council should reserve the right to exercise implementing powers directly with respect to these specific matters,
CHAPTER I
SUBJECT MATTER AND DEFINITIONS
Subject matter
This Regulation establishes a multi-annual plan for the fisheries exploiting the stock of herring (Clupea harengus) in international and Community waters of ICES zones Vb and VIb, and that part of ICES zone VIa which lies west of the meridian of longitude 7o W and north of the parallel of latitude 55o N, or east of the meridian of longitude 7o W and north of the parallel of latitude 56o N, excluding the Clyde (hereinafter together referred to as the area west of Scotland).
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the definitions laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 shall apply. In addition, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘ICES zones’ means the zones as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December 1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the North-East Atlantic (7);
(b) ‘total allowable catch (TAC)’ means the quantity that can be taken and landed from the stock each year;
(c) ‘VMS’ means a satellite-based Vessel Monitoring System, within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2244/2003 of 18 December 2003 laying down detailed provisions regarding satellite-based Vessel Monitoring Systems (8);
(d) ‘appropriate age groups’ means the ages from three to seven years (inclusive), or other age groups identified as appropriate by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF).
CHAPTER II
OBJECTIVE AND TARGETS
Objective and targets
1. The multi-annual plan shall ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield.
2. The objective in paragraph 1 shall be attained by:
(a) maintaining the fishing mortality rate at 0,25 per year on appropriate age groups when the spawning stock biomass level is equal or superior to 75 000 tonnes;
(b) maintaining the fishing mortality rate at no more than 0,2 per year on appropriate age groups when the spawning stock biomass level is below 75 000 tonnes but equal or superior to 50 000 tonnes;
(c) providing for the closure of the fishery in the event that the spawning stock biomass level falls below 50 000 tonnes.
3. The objective set out in paragraph 1 shall be attained within an annual variation in the TAC limited to 20 % or 25 % depending on the situation of the stock.
CHAPTER III
TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES
Setting of TACs
1. Each year, the Council, acting by qualified majority on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, shall fix for the following year the TAC applicable to the herring stock in the area west of Scotland, in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 6.
2. When STECF considers that the spawning stock biomass level will be equal or superior to 75 000 tonnes in the year for which the TAC is to be fixed, the TAC shall be set at a level which, according to the advice of STECF, will result in a fishing mortality rate of 0,25 per year. However, the annual variation in the TAC shall be limited to 20 %.
3. When the STECF considers that the spawning stock biomass level will be less than 75 000 tonnes but equal or superior to 50 000 tonnes in the year for which the TAC is to be fixed, the TAC shall be set at a level which, according to the advice of STECF, will result in a fishing mortality rate of 0,2 per year. However, the annual variation of the TAC shall be limited to:
(a) 20 % if the spawning stock biomass level is estimated to be equal or superior to 62 500 tonnes but less than 75 000 tonnes;
(b) 25 % if the spawning stock biomass level is estimated to be equal or superior to 50 000 tonnes but less than 62 500 tonnes.
4. When STECF considers that the spawning stock biomass level will be less than 50 000 tonnes in the year for which the TAC is to be fixed, the TAC shall be set at 0 tonnes.
5. For the purposes of the calculation to be carried out in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3, STECF shall assume that the stock experiences a fishing mortality rate of 0,25 in the year prior to the year for which the TAC is to be fixed.
6. By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 or 3, if STECF considers that the herring stock in the area west of Scotland is failing properly to recover, the TAC shall be set at a level lower than that provided for in those paragraphs.
Special fishing permit
1. In order to fish for herring in the area west of Scotland, vessels shall hold a special fishing permit issued in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1627/94.
2. It shall be prohibited for any fishing vessel not holding a fishing permit as referred to in paragraph 1 to fish for, or retain on board, any quantity of herring while the vessel is engaged on a fishing trip that has included the presence of that vessel in the area west of Scotland.
3. Vessels to which the special fishing permit referred to in paragraph 1 has been issued shall not be permitted to fish outside the area west of Scotland during the same fishing trip.
4. Paragraph 3 shall not apply to vessels which transmit their catch report on a daily basis to the Fisheries Monitoring centre of the flag Member State, as referred to in Article 3(7) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, for inclusion in its computerised database.
5. Each Member State shall establish and maintain a list of vessels holding the special permit referred to in paragraph 1 and make it available, on its official website, to the Commission and other Member States. The vessels to which the provisions of paragraph 4 apply shall be clearly identified on the list.
Cross-checks
In addition to the obligations laid down in Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, Member States shall carry out administrative cross-checks by comparing the landing declarations, the fishing areas and catches recorded in the logbook, catch reports submitted in accordance with Article 5(4) of this Regulation and VMS data. Such cross-checks shall be recorded and made available to the Commission on request.
CHAPTER IV
FOLLOW-UP
Revision of minimum fishing mortality rates
Where the Commission, on the basis of advice from STECF, finds that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels, specified in Article 3(2), are not appropriate to achieve the objective specified in Article 3(1), the Council shall, on the basis of a Commission proposal, decide by qualified majority on a revision of those biomass levels and/or rates.
Evaluation and review of the multi-annual plan
1. The Commission shall request, each year, advice from STECF and the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council on the achievement of the targets of the multi-annual plan. Where the advice indicates that the targets are not being met, the Council of the EU shall decide by qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission, on additional and/or alternative measures to ensure that the targets are met.
2. At least every four years from 18 December 2008, the Commission shall review the geographical area of application, the biological reference levels and the performance and operation of the multi-annual plan. In the framework of this review, the Commission shall seek the advice of the STECF and of the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council. Where appropriate, the Council of the EU shall decide by qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission, on appropriate adaptations to the multi-annual plan, as regards the geographical area of application referred to in Article 1, the biological reference levels referred to in Article 3 or the rules for setting TACs referred to in Article 4.
CHAPTER V
FINAL PROVISIONS
European Fisheries Fund
Where the spawning biomass of herring is assessed by STECF to be equal or superior to 75 000 tonnes, the multi-annual plan shall be deemed to be a management plan within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and for the purposes of Article 21(a)(iv) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 November 2008
on the full application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in the Swiss Confederation
(2008/903/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application, and development of the Schengen acquis (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement) (1), which was signed on 26 October 2004 (2) and entered into force on 1 March 2008 (3), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(1) of the Agreement provides that the provisions of the Schengen acquis shall apply in the Swiss Confederation only pursuant to a Council Decision to that effect after verification that the necessary conditions for the application of that acquis have been met.
(2) The Council, having verified that the necessary conditions for the application of the data protection part of the Schengen acquis concerned had been met by the Swiss Confederation, rendered, by its Decision 2008/421/EC (4), the provisions of the Schengen acquis related to the Schengen Information System applicable to the Swiss Confederation from 14 August 2008.
(3) The Council has verified, in accordance with the applicable Schengen evaluation procedures as set out in the Decision of the Executive Committee of 16 September 1998 setting up a Standing Committee on the evaluation and implementation of Schengen (SCH/Com-ex (98) 26 def.) (5), that the necessary conditions for the application of the Schengen acquis have been met in other areas of the Schengen acquis — Land Borders, Police Cooperation, the Schengen Information System, and Visas — in the Swiss Confederation.
(4) On 27 November 2008, the Council concluded that the conditions in each of the areas mentioned had been fulfilled by the Swiss Confederation.
(5) As regards the evaluation and implementation of the Schengen acquis at air borders, further evaluation visits should be carried out at a later stage.
(6) It is therefore possible to set dates for the application of the Schengen acquis in full, i.e. dates from which checks on persons at the internal borders with the Swiss Confederation should be lifted. Were the further evaluation visits at air borders to prove unsuccessful, the date set for the application of the Schengen acquis regulating the abolition of checks on persons at air borders should be reconsidered.
(7) From the earliest such date, the restrictions on the use of the Schengen Information System, provided for in Decision 2008/421/EC, should be lifted.
(8) In accordance with Article 15(4) of the Agreement and with Article 14(1) of the Agreement between the Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining a request for asylum lodged in a Member State or in Switzerland (6), the latter Agreement should be implemented from 12 December 2008.
(9) The Agreement between the Swiss Confederation and the Kingdom of Denmark on the creation of rights and obligations between Denmark and the Swiss Confederation as regards the provisions of the Schengen acquis which come under Title IV of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that it shall be put into effect in respect of the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis on the same date as the Agreement is put into effect.
(10) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 15(1) of the Agreement and as a result of the partial application of the Schengen acquis by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland provided for in Council Decision 2004/926/EC of 22 December 2004 on the putting into effect of parts of the Schengen acquis by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (7), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 1 thereof, only part of the provisions of the Schengen acquis applicable to the Swiss Confederation in its relations with Member States applying the Schengen acquis in full should apply in the relations of the Swiss Confederation with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
(11) In accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 15(1) of the Agreement and as a result of the partial application of the Schengen acquis by Cyprus on the one hand, and Bulgaria and Romania on the other, as provided for in Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession and Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession respectively, only the part of the Schengen acquis applicable in these Member States should also be applicable to the Swiss Confederation in its relations with these Member States.
(12) The Agreement between the Swiss Confederation, the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis and concerning the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining a request for asylum lodged in Switzerland, Iceland or Norway stipulates that it shall be put into effect in respect of the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis on the same date as the Agreement is put into effect,
1. All the provisions referred to in Annexes A and B to the Agreement and any act constituting a further development of one or more of these provisions, shall apply to the Swiss Confederation, in its relations with Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland, and the Kingdom of Sweden as from 12 December 2008.
To the extent that those provisions regulate the abolition of checks on persons at internal borders, they shall apply as from 29 March 2009 to air borders. The Council may decide to defer this date, acting by a simple majority of the Members of the Council representing the governments of the Member States to which the provisions of the Schengen acquis regulating the abolition of checks on persons at internal borders apply. In that case, a new date shall be set by the Council, acting by unanimity of those Members.
All restrictions on the use of the Schengen Information System by the Member States concerned shall be lifted as from 8 December 2008.
2. The provisions of the Schengen acquis put into effect by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the basis of Article 1 of Decision 2004/926/EC and any act constituting a further development of one or more of those provisions, shall apply to the Swiss Confederation, in its relations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as from 12 December 2008.
3. The provisions of the Schengen acquis applicable to Cyprus on the one hand, and Bulgaria and Romania on the other on the basis of Article 3(1) of the 2003 Act of Accession and Article 4(1) of the 2005 Act of Accession respectively and any act constituting a further development of one or more of those provisions, shall apply to the Swiss Confederation, in its relations with Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania as from 12 December 2008.
By way of derogation to Annex II of Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement (8), Switzerland is authorised to maintain the visa exemption for Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados and Saint Kitts and Nevis from 12 December 2008 until the entry into force of the visa waiver agreements between the European Community and each of these countries.

(1) Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 specifies that the minimum sugarbeet prices referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector(3), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(4), and the production levy and additional levy referred to Articles 15 and 16 respectively of that Regulation are to be converted into national currency using a specific exchange rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the exchange rates applicable during the marketing year in question. That specific exchange rate must be fixed during the month following the end of the marketing year in question.
(2) The system of specific agricultural conversion rates was amended from 1 January 1999 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(5). As a result, the fixing of conversion rates should be restricted to the specific exchange rates between the euro and the national currencies of those Member States which have not adopted the single currency.
(3) The application of these provisions results in the fixing, for the 2001/2002 marketing year, of the specific exchange rate for the minimum sugarbeet prices and the production levy and, where appropriate, the additional levy in the various national currencies, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for the conversion of the minimum sugarbeet prices as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and the production levy and, where appropriate, the additional levy referred to in Articles 15 and 16 respectively of that Regulation, into each of the national currencies of the Member States which have not adopted the single currency, shall be fixed, for the 2001/2002 marketing year, as set out in the Annex hereto.

of 28 June 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC France received on 24 June 2003 an application from Société occitane de fabrications et de technologie for the inclusion of the active substance FEN 560 (also called fenugreek or fenugreek seed powder) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2004/131/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) For that active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 18 February 2005.
(3) The draft assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in the format of the EFSA conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance fenugreek seed powder (FEN 560) on 18 December 2009 (3). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and was finalised on 11 May 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder).
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 April 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 May 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) as active substance by 30 April 2011. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning the active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(2) of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 October 2010 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder). On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2012 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing FEN 560 (fenugreek seed powder) as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2012 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 November 2010.

(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3103/76(2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1216/89(3), defines the regions producing durum wheat in which aid for such wheat is granted; whereas it is therefore necessary to supplement the list of those regions,

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), as last amended by Council Directive 2003/47/EC(2), and in particular points (c) and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof,
After consulting the Member States concerned,
Whereas:
(1) The provisions against Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should cover the whole range of host plants capable of spreading this harmful organism. Some known host plants for Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. are not covered by the current provisions. This list should therefore be extended to cover the whole range of host plants for Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.
(2) The provisions on "buffer zones" should be improved to reduce the risk of short distance spreading of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. To that end the "buffer zones" should be clearly delimited and a strict control regime should be applied which includes the removal of plants showing symptoms of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.
(3) Before plants from an area where Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is known to occur may be introduced or moved into the relevant "protected zones", the fields of production of those plants and a zone surrounding those fields, should be found to be totally free from Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. during the last complete cycle of vegetation preceding the introduction or movement. This should be confirmed by visual inspections carried out at appropriate times and laboratory tests for the possible detection of latent infections.
(4) The movement of beehives to and within protected zones should be regulated, because it may be an important factor of spreading Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.
(5) Specific arrangements should be made for plants which are produced and maintained on fields located in officially designated "buffer zones" in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC, and which meet the relevant requirements as regards fields and "buffer zones" thereof, before 1 April 2004.
(6) Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annexes II, III, IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 March 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
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.

authorising the placing on the market of lycopene as novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2009) 3149)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/362/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 July 2008 the company DSM Nutritional Products Ltd. made a request to the competent authorities of Ireland to place synthetic lycopene on the market as a novel food ingredient; on 6 October 2008 the competent food assessment body of Ireland issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that, in the light of other pending applications concerning lycopene, for synthetic lycopene an additional assessment is required in order to assure that an authorisation for use of the different lycopenes as novel food ingredients is granted under the same terms.
(2) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 22 October 2008.
(3) On 4 December 2008 EFSA adopted the ‘Scientific Opinion of the Scientific Panel on dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on a request from the Commission related to the safety of lycopene from Blakeslea trispora Cold Water Dispersion (CWD)’. This opinion came to the conclusions that lycopene preparations intended for use in foods and food supplements are formulated as suspensions in edible oils, direct compressible or water-dispersible powders. As lycopene may undergo oxidative changes in such formulations, sufficient antioxidative protection should be ascertained.
(4) EFSA also concluded that the consumption of lycopene by the average user will stay below the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), but that some users of lycopene may exceed the ADI. Therefore, it appears appropriate to collect intake data for a number of years following the authorisation in order to review this authorisation in the light of any further information on the safety of lycopene and its consumption. Particular attention should be given to the collection of data regarding levels of lycopene in breakfast cereals. However, this requirement under the present Decision, applies to the use of lycopene as a novel food ingredient and not to the use of lycopene as a food colour, that falls within the scope of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2).
(5) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that the synthetic lycopene complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Synthetic lycopene, hereinafter called the product, as specified in Annex I may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient to be used in the foods listed in Annex II.
The designation of the novel food ingredient authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuff containing it shall be ‘lycopene’.
The company DSM Nutritional Products Ltd shall establish a monitoring programme accompanying the marketing of the product. This programme shall encompass information about use levels of lycopene in foods as specified in Annex III.
The data collected shall be made available to the Commission and Member States. In the light of new information and a report of EFSA, at the latest in the year 2014 the use of lycopene as an ingredient to foods shall be reviewed.
This Decision is addressed to DSM Nutritional Products Ltd, Wurmis 576, CH – 4363 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 lays down rules for the allocation among the various undertakings concerned of the quantity of fresh tomatoes to be processed into tomato products attracting the production aid; whereas the conditions under which the undertakings may qualify for such allocation, and in particular the communications required for that purpose, should be specified; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 lays down that for the first three marketing years of application the quantities produced in the 1992/93 marketing year are not to be taken into account for calculating the average quantities produced and and whereas that provision will have to apply to all the undertakings concerned until the 1995/96 marketing year;
Whereas the competent authorities allocate to each processing undertaking the quantities of fresh tomatoes which may be used for the manufacture of finished products attracting aid; whereas the allocation must be based on the particulars communicated by the undertakings; whereas, in cases where doubt exists as to the accuracy of the particulars received, the competent authorities should be authorized to defer the allocation until such doubt is resolved;
Whereas the result of allocating specific quantities to each undertaking is that the payment of production aid is limited to a fixed quantity; whereas the aim of the aid system is respected if a quantity allocated to an undertaking can be transferred to another undertaking; whereas such a possibility confers flexibility on the undertakings; whereas the competent authorities should be authorized to allow transfer of the right deriving from an allocation where this is possible without unfavourable consequences for the production aid system;
Whereas an undertaking may, during the marketing year, apply for only one adjustment to the distribution of its quota among the finished products; whereas a time limit for making use of this option should be fixed;
Whereas for tomato concentrate only one rate of aid is applicable; whereas for preserved whole peeled tomatoes and for other tomato-based products two or more rates are applicable;
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,
From the 1993/94 marketing year the allocation referred to in Article 1 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 and notwithstanding Article 2 thereof shall be made at the beginning of each marketing year among processing undertakings:
(a) having complied with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1558/91 (2); and
(b) having submitted applications for production aid for the three marketing years preceding that for which the aid is fixed, or for one or two of those years; or
(c) having commenced their activities during one of the three marketing years preceding that for which the aid is fixed and having communicated to the competent authorities the quantities of finished products obtained without having presented a request for aid; or
(d) commencing their activities during the marketing year for which the aid is fixed.
1. The processing undertakings referred to in Article 1 (b) shall communicate to the competent authorities:
(a) the quantity of fresh tomatoes used during one, two or three marketing years as the case may be;
(b) the quantity of processed products obtained from the quantity referred to in (a) broken down into two groups, according to whether production aid was granted or not.
The processed products shall be broken down into:
- tomato concentrate, expressed as concentrate with a dry weight content of 28 % or more but less than 30 %,
- preserved whole peeled tomatoes,
- other tomato-based products.
The quantity of fresh tomatoes used shall be given for each group of finished products, broken down according to whether production aid was received or not.
2. The processing undertakings referred to in Article 1 (c) shall communicate to the competent authorities:
(a) the quantity of fresh tomatoes used during each of those marketing years;
(b) the quantity of processed products obtained from the quantity referred to in (a) broken down according to the three groups of finished products, and which would have been eligible for production aid.
3. The processing undertakings referred to in Article 1 (d) shall communicate to the competent authorities their production capacity and the quantity of processed products they have planned to produce. The products shall be broken down as provided for in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.
4. Where the competent authorities of a Member State are already in possession of all the particulars needed in order to make the allocation provided for in Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93, they may decide that the particulars referred to in paragraph 1 need not be communicated.
1. The communications referred to in Article 2 must reach the competent authorities not later than 30 June of each year.
2. Member States may, in exceptional cases and where there is good reason for doing so, accept communications after the time limit laid down in paragraph 1, provided this does not lead to the quantities fixed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 being exceeded.
1. On the basis of the communications provided for in Article 2, competent authorities shall allocate a specific quantity of fresh tomatoes to each processing undertaking.
This quantity shall be broken down into tomatoes intended for manufacture of:
- tomato concentrate,
- preserved whole peeled tomatoes,
- other tomato-based products.
2. In cases of proven or suspected irregularities and where administrative or legal inquiries have been commenced concerning entitlement to aid, the competent authority may refuse to allocate the quantity in dispute unitl the dispute has been resolved.
3. Where undertakings change hands, and in particular in cases of mergers, Member States may authorize transfer of the rights deriving from the allocation referred to in paragraph 1 among processing undertakings operating in the same Member State, provided that this can be done without unfavourable consequences for the production-aid system.
Such transfer shall be authorized only when it is requested before the date laid down for the submission of applications for production aid.
4. Where a Member State establishes that the total quantity allocated to its processing undertakings has not been the subject of preliminary contracts as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1558/91 or processing contracts as provided for in
thereof, for a given marketing year, that Member State may decide to allocate the unused quantity among processing undertakings that are prepared to conclude additional processing contracts for that quantity. Such additional allocations of fresh tomatoes shall have effect only for the marketing year involved.
Member States may allocated the additional quantities not later than 15 August each year. Notification of the recipient undertakings by the competent authority of the decision to make an additional allocation shall release those undertakings from the obligation to conclude the abovementioned preliminary contracts for the quantities thus redistributed for the purposes of the aid.

An undertaking may, not later than 30 September, request from the competent authorities of the Member State authorization to carry out the transfer referred to in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93.
The authorization notification sent to the undertaking shall specify the new breakdown for the undertaking of the quotas of fresh tomatoes by the three groups of finished products.
The undertaking may not exceed the quantities of processed products resulting from the total quantity of fresh tomatoes allocated before the quantities allocated for processing have been used up.
Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:
- the overall quantity for the Member State concerned provided for in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 is not exceeded,
- the quantity referred to above is allocated fairly among the undertakings.
