5. The programme may be amended during implementation where such amendments are justified on technical grounds, provided, however, that the purpose of those amendments is not to extend the implementation period originally set. The competent departments shall take all appropriate measures to approve or reject the said amendments.
The approval and rejection procedure is laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be followed.
6. During implementation of the programme of initiatives the competent departments shall verify on a regular basis the progress made in implementing the programmes, the technical and financial conformity of the measures and the veracity of the supporting documents submitted.

The contribution of the Member State concerned may not be paid out later than the Community aid.
1. Where aid has been paid without due entitlement, the competent Greek authorities shall recover the amount concerned with interest from the date on which the aid was paid to the date on which it was recovered. Where fraud occurs, a fine equal to half the amount paid without due entitlement shall also be applied. The interest rate applied shall be that in force for similar recovery operations under Greek law.
2. The aid recovered and, where applicable, interest and the fine sum shall be paid to the disbursing agencies and deducted by them from the expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Gurantee Fund in proportion to the Community contribution.

of 22 December 1999
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/95(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 267/96(4), lays down the detailed rules on invitations to tender opened in the Member States with a view to implementing the annual plan. It should be explicitly stated that these invitations must include all the necessary provisions on the delivery of the supplies and provision should be made to adjust payment for them based on compliance or otherwise with the requirements laid down;
(2) Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 stipulates that the transport costs are to be reimbursed on the basis of flat rates fixed in the Annex to the Regulation. In the light of experience, such fixing is no longer appropriate and the transport costs must be reimbursed on the basis of the duly justified real costs established on the basis of an invitation to tender procedure under Article 4(3) of the above Regulation. It should be specified, however, that reimbursement of the transport costs between the storage depots of the charitable organisation and the place of final distribution is effected on the basis of supporting evidence;
(3) should the products needed to implement the plan be unavailable in one or more Member States, intra-Community transfers of stored products should be organised in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92. With a view to streamlined management, these transfers should be organised at the start of the annual exercise and provisions should be made for appropriate adjustments;
(4) for EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting purposes, the accounting value of the beef from intervention stocks is the intervention price subject to coefficients fixed for the various cuts. These coefficients need to be amended based on changes in the conversion coefficients used for the various cuts, especially under tenders opened to manage the market in these products;
(5) attention should be drawn to the Member States' obligation to take all the necessary steps to ensure that the annual plan is properly carried out, and to anticipate and penalise irregularities noted during the provision of supplies;
(6) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the management committees concerned,
Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph 5 is added to Article 4: "5. The invitations to tender shall include the necessary provisions on the supply operation, especially as regards the products' quality, packaging and marking. They shall also include a provision to the effect that if the quality, packaging or marking of the products noted at the time fixed for their supply does not correspond exactly to what was stipulated, but does not prevent the goods from being accepted for their intended use, the competent authorities can apply reductions when calculating the amoung payable."
2. Article 6(1) is replaced by: "1. On duly substantiated application to the competent authority in each Member State, the charitable organisations designated to distribute the products shall be reimbursed for transport costs on the territory of the Member State between the storage depots of the charitable organisations and the points of distribution to the beneficiaries."
3. Article 6(2) is deleted.
4. Article 7(1) is replaced by the following: "1. When products included in the plan are not available from intervention in the Member State where such products are required, the Commission shall authorise, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87, the transfer of the product in question from a Member State in which it is present in intervention stocks to the Member State where it will be used to implement the plan.
The Member State receiving the products shall publish or have published an invitation to tender to establish the most favourable conditions of supply. The costs of intra-Community transport shall be the subject of a tender submitted in money value and may not be paid for in products. Article 4(4) shall apply in the context of this invitation to tender."
5. The first sentence of Article 7(2) is replaced by the following: "The intra-Community transport costs shall be borne by the Community and repaid to the Member State."
6. The following third paragraph is added to Article 9: "The Member States shall take all the measures needed to ensure that the plan is properly implemented and to anticipate and penalise irregularities. To this end they can suspend the participation of operators in the tendering procedure, depending on the seriousness of any shortcomings or irregularities observed in the conduct of a previous supply operation or other comparable activities."
7. Annex I is replaced by the following:
"ANNEX
A. Coefficients referred to in Article 5: unboned intervention stocks:
- forequarters: 0,35;
- hindquarters: 0,50.
B. Coefficients referred to in Article 5: boneless intervention stocks

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 956/2010
of 22 October 2010
amending Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of rapid tests
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 and the introductory phrase and point (a) of Article 23a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specific cases to exports thereof.
(2) Point 4 of Chapter C of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 sets out a list of rapid tests to be used for the monitoring of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in bovine animals and TSEs in ovine and caprine animals.
(3) On 18 December 2009 and 29 April 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published two Scientific Opinions on Analytical sensitivity of approved TSE rapid tests. Those opinions were based on studies performed by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) for TSEs. The EURL studies were intended to evaluate the analytical sensitivity of all the currently approved TSE rapid tests in order to produce robust analytical sensitivity data and evaluate each test against the same sample sets for the three main types of ruminant TSE: BSE, classical scrapie and atypical scrapie.
(4) As regards scrapie, the EFSA concluded in its opinion published on 18 December 2009 that the tests ‘Enfer TSE v2’, ‘Enfer TSE v3’, ‘Prionics®-Check LIA SR’ and ‘Prionics®-WB Check Western SR’ could fail in identifying atypical scrapie cases that other validated tests would detect and according to the EFSA protocol for evaluation of rapid post mortem tests to detect TSE in small ruminants (EFSA, 2007b) they could not be recommended for use for TSE monitoring in that field. Accordingly, those methods should no longer be included in the list of rapid tests to be used for the monitoring of TSEs in ovine and caprine animals set out in point 4 of Chapter C of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(5) On 2 July 2009, Idexx laboratories informed the Commission that their combined test ‘IDEXX HerdChek BSE-Scrapie Antigen Test Kit, EIA’, which was developed both for the monitoring of TSE in small ruminants and BSE in bovine animals, has never been included in the list of rapid tests to be used for the monitoring of BSE in the Union even though it has been officially approved by the EURL for that purpose. That test should therefore be added to the list of rapid tests for BSE monitoring set out in point 4 of Chapter C of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(6) For practical reasons, the amendments introduced by this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2011, as the Member States need sufficient time in order to align their monitoring procedures for TSEs in ovine and caprine animals with the new list of rapid tests.
(7) Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 31 May 2001
fixing the export refunds on rice and broken rice and suspending the issue of export licences
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 700 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 700 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 2001.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which an application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (3). That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Twente concerned by Objective 2 in the Netherlands, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, 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 Netherlands;
the main priorities are:
1. transport and distribution;
2. industry and business services;
3. tourism;
(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 financial implementation provisions,
- 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.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 58,0 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 99 million for the public sector and ECU 41 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 39,36 million,
- ESF:ECU 18,64 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 12,59 million,
- ESF:ECU 5,97 million.
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 measure II.3. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission. No expenditure for these aid schemes is foreseen by the authorities of the Member State in 1994.
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 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

It is appropriate to take as a reference period the two-month period preceding the beginning of the term of validity of the production refund.
(3) The application of the above criteria results in the refund being fixed as shown below,
For the months of September and October 2002, the amount of the production refund referred to in Article 20a(2) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be EUR 44,00/100 kg.

(2) In some Member States, the volumes covered by contracts concluded by wine producers for distillation in the 2006/07 wine year have been far greater than normal. This has led to a saturation of distillery capacities and, as a result, it will not be possible to complete distillation by the specified deadline. To remedy this situation, the period authorised for distillation should be extended by one month.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Notwithstanding Article 63a(10) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000, for the 2006/07 wine year the wine delivered to a distillery must be distilled no later than 31 October of the following wine year.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the European Economic Community undertook, within the framework of GATT, to open an annual Community tariff quota of 20 000 head at a duty of 6 % for heifers and cows, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain mountain breeds, falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas eligibility for such quota is subject to conditions to be determined by the competent authorities of the Member State of destination; whereas, in an exchange of letters with Austria dated 21 July 1972, the Community undertook unilaterally to increase the size of the tariff quota from 20 000 to 30 000 head and to lower the quota duty from 6 to 4 %; whereas, subsequently, this quota was increased unilaterally to 38 000 head; whereas the abovementioned tariff quota for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987 should therefore be opened at a duty of 4 % in relation to a quantity of 38 000 head;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, the Kingdom of Spain is obliged from 1 March 1986 to apply in its entirety the duty in the Common Customs Tariff to the animals in question; whereas this obligation does not apply in the case of the Portuguese Republic according to Article 289 (1) of that Act; whereas it is therefore necessary to meet import requirements from third countries which might arise in Spain with regard to the said animals; whereas, within the framework of this tariff quota, the duty to be applied by that Member State is also 4 %;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure equal and continuous access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota, and the uninterrupted application of the quota duties, to all imports of the animals in question until the quota is exhausted; whereas, having regard to the principles defined above, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the Community tariff quota among the Member States; whereas possibilities for the use of such mountain breeds are, however, limited by special factors, both geographical and zootechnical; whereas Denmark does not have regions suitable for breeding this kind of cattle; whereas, however, in view of such special factors, the Community nature of the tariff quota in question should be preserved by making provision for requirements which may arise in this Member States; whereas, to this end, this Member State may proceed to draw adequate shares from the Community reserve which has been set up; whereas, in order to reflect as closely as possible the actual trend of the market in question, the initial allocation must be made in proportion to the requirements of each of the Member States concerned, calculated in accordance with statistical data concerning imports from third countries during a representative reference period and with economic prospects for the quota period in question;
Whereas, since the animals in question belong to certain specific breeds which are not specified as such in the statistical nomenclatures of the Member States, no data on imports provided by the Member States could be considered to be sufficiently accurate and representative to be used as a basis for the allocation in question; whereas the extent to which Community tariff quotas for those
animals in the Community have been exhausted and the estimates made by certain Member States enable the requirements of each of them as regards imports from third countries for the quota period envisaged to be assessed as follows:
Germany 20 000 head
Greece 2 000 head
France 1 800 head
Italy 14 000 head
whereas in the absence of precise information, the needs of the Benelux countries, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain may be assessed at 100, 50, 50 and 100 head respectively;
Whereas, in order to take into account the possible trend of imports of the aforementioned animals into the said Member States, the quota amount of 38 000 head should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States, the second forming a reserve intended subsequently to cover the requirements of those Member States when their initial shares are exhausted and requirements which may arise within other Member States; whereas, in order to ensure a certain degree of security for importers in the aforementioned Member States, the first part of the Community quota should be determined at a level which, under the present circumstances, may be approximately 79 % of the quota amount;
Whereas, the initial shares of those Member States may be used up more or less rapidly; whereas, in order to take this fact into account and avoid any break in continuity, it is important that that Member State having used up almost the whole of its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas this must be done by each of these Member States as and when each of its additional shares is almost entirely used up, and repeated as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be available until the end of the quota period; whereas such method of administration calls for close cooperation between Member States and the Commission, which latter must, in particular, be able to observe the extent to which the quota amounts are used and inform Member States thereof;
Whereas if, at a specified date within the quota period, a considerable balance of the initial share of one or other of the Member States is left over, it is essential that that State should return a considerable part of such balance to the reserve in order that part of the Community tariff quota should not remain unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. During the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987, a Community tariff quota of 38 000 head shall be opened within the European Economic Community in respect of imports from third countries of cows and heifers, other than those intended for slaughter, of the following mountain breeds; grey, brown, yellow and mottled Simmental breed and mottled Pinzgau breed, falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, the abovementioned cows and heifers shall be considered not intended for slaughter if they are not slaughtered within four months following the date of their importation.
Derogations may, however, be granted in the event of an act of God duly attested by a local authority certificate setting out the reasons for the slaughter.
3. The said quota shall be administered in accordance with the following Articles.
Within the framework of the quota referred to in Article 1 (1), the Common Customs Tariff duty for the animals referred to in the said paragraph shall be suspended at 4 %.
1. A first part of 30 000 head shall be allocated among the Member States listed below. The shares shall apply from 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987 subject to Article 7, and shall be as follows:
Benelux 100 head
Germany 16 000 head
Greece 2 100 head
Spain 100 head
France 1 600 head
Ireland 50 head
Italy 10 000 head
United Kingdom 50 head
2. The second part of 8 000 head shall be held as a Community reserve.
If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the animals in question in Denmark and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve permits this. Article 5
1. If 90 % or more of the initial quota share of one of the Member States referred to in Article 3, or of that share less the amount returned to the reserve, where Article 7 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall immediately, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share in so far as the reserve permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded off upwards, if necessary, to the next unit.
2. If, after the initial share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by one of these Member States has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, immediately draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded off upwards, if necessary, to the next unit.
3. If, after the second share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by one of these Member States has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
The same method shall be applied until the reserve is exhausted.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, each of these Member States may draw shares lower than those fixed in these paragraphs if there are reasons to consider that such shares might not be exhausted. They shall inform the Commission of the grounds which led them to apply this paragraph.
The additional shares drawn in pursuance of Article 5 shall apply until 30 June 1987.
Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 March 1987, the unused portion of their initial share in excess, on 15 February 1987, of 5 % of the initial amount. They may return a larger quantity if there are reasons to consider that such quantity may not be used.
However, amounts for which import certificates have been issued but not used shall not be returned to the reserve.
The Member States shall, not later than 1 March 1987, notify the Commission of the total imports of the animals in question effected, up to 15 February 1987 inclusive, and charged against the tariff quota, the amounts referred to in the second subparagraph and, where appropriate the proportion of their initial share that they return to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep accounts of the amounts of the shares opened by Member States in accordance with Articles 3, 4 and 5 and shall inform each of them of the extent to which the reserve has been exhausted as soon as it receives the notifications.
The Commission shall, not later than 5 March 1987, notify Member States of the amount in the reserve after the return of shares pursuant to Article 7.
The Commission shall ensure that any drawing which exhausts the reserve is limited to the balance available and, to this end, shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the last drawing.
Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that when additional shares are drawn pursuant to Articles 4 or 5 it is possible for imports to be counted without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
0
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that access to the tariff quota in question is restricted to cattle as specified in Article 1 (1) and (2).
2. They shall ensure free access to the shares allocated to them for importers.
3. The extent to which the shares of the Member States have been used up shall be recorded on the basis of imports submitted for customs clearance under cover of declarations that they have been made available for free circulation.
4. Where import documents are used for the administration of the quota, they shall be sent to the issuing body as soon as possible and at all events on their expiry.
1
On request by the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
2
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are observed.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3769/85 (2), introduced a system whereby budgetary funds earmarked to cover the expenditure of the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund are made available to the authorities and bodies designated to pay out such expenditure;
Whereas the said system is aimed at enabling the common organization of agricultural markets to pursue its objective;
Whereas it is appropriate that special rules of a temporary nature be adopted which will allow the Community to achieve this aim even in a situation in which the appropriations available for the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF have been used up, while ensuring the continuity of the payments provided for by the various arrangements for the common organization of markets until the adoption of final arrangements in conjunction with the decisions concerning the future financing of the Community;
Whereas, in the interests of the smooth running of the said organizations, a watch must be kept in order to ensure that the time-lag introduced by this Regulation does not result in a carry-over to 1988 and subsequent financial years;
Whereas financial resources must be mobilized by the Member States in accordance with the needs of their disbursing authorities, while the Commission makes advance payments against the booking of the expenditure effected by the disbursing authorities;
Whereas the financing costs which might arise from the mobilization of financial resources by the Member States could be shared between some Member States and the Community;
Whereas these special rules will be reviewed in the context of all the decisions to be taken in connection with the future financing of the Community,
Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (2):
'However, after the appropriations allocated to the EAGGF Guarantee Section for the financial year 1987 have been used up and until the adoption of final arrangements in conjunction with the decisions concerning the future financing of the Community, the financial resources earmarked to cover the expenditure referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be mobilized by the Member States in accordance with the needs of their disbursing authorities'.
2. The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 5 (2) (a):
'However, as from January 1988, and until the adoption of final arrangements in conjunction with the decisions concerning the future financing of the Community, the Commission shall decide solely on monthly advance payments to cover defrayal of expenditure effected with the financial resources referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 4 (2). Such advance payments shall be made not later than the third working day of the second month following that in which the disbursing agencies effect the expenditure'.
3. The following Article shall be inserted:
'Article 5a
To accommodate any difficulties which certain Member States might encounter in setting up the system provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 4 (2), appropriate measures enabling some or all
of the interest to be charged to the Community may be adopted according to the procedure laid down in Article 13.'
At the time of adoption of the detailed rules for application referred to in Article 4 (4) and Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission shall frame the rules in such a way that the time-lag does not result in any extra cost to the 1988 and subsequent financial years.

Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provides that the Commission is to determine the overrun in the maximum guaranteed area and to fix the definitive aid for the marketing year in question.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 152(4)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 (3) lays down the animal health requirements applicable to non-commercial movements of pet animals and the rules applying to checks on such movements.
(2) In addition, Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 provides that for a transitional period of five years from the date of entry into force of that Regulation, the entry of pet dogs and cats into the territories of Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom is subject to special requirements, taking into account the particular situations in those Member States with regard to rabies.
(3) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 provides that for a transitional period of five years from the date of entry into force of that Regulation, those Member States which have special rules for the control of echinococcosis and ticks on that date may make the entry of pet animals into their territories subject to compliance with those requirements. Finland, Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom apply their specific entry rules relating to echinococcosis; Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom require pet dogs and cats to undergo additional treatment against ticks that must also be certified in the animals’ passports.
(4) The transitional regimes provided for in Articles 6 and 16 of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 expire on 3 July 2008. Article 23 of that Regulation provides that the transitional regimes are to be reviewed before the end of the transitional period.
(5) To that end and pursuant to Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, the Commission was required to submit to the European Parliament and to the Council, before 1 February 2007, a report on the need to maintain the serological test, together with appropriate proposals for determining the regime to be applied after the transitional regimes provided for in Articles 6, 8 and 16 of that Regulation. That report should be based on the experience gained so far and on a risk evaluation, to be based on a scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
(6) At the Commission’s request, EFSA issued a scientific opinion to assist the Commission in proposing appropriate, science-based amendments to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003. In addition the Commission had also to consider reports by Member States on their experience with the implementation of Articles 6, 8 and 16 of that Regulation.
(7) However, because the scientific assessment has taken longer than envisaged, the Commission’s report has been delayed. To enable sufficient account to be taken of the conclusions of the report, the expiry of the transitional regimes should be postponed.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 6(1), the introductory phrase shall be replaced by the following:
2. in Article 16, the first paragraph shall be replaced by the following:
3. in Article 23, the date ‘1 January 2008’ shall be replaced by the date ‘1 July 2010’.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 1088/2012 of 20 November 2012 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Baltic Sea (2), lays down quotas for 2013.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2013.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2013 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) The risks posed to the environment by nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) have been assessed in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances(4). The assessment identified a need to reduce those risks and, in its opinion of 6 and 7 March 2001, the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) confirmed that conclusion.
(2) NP is classified as a "priority hazardous substance" in Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy(5). Pursuant to Article 16(6) of that Directive, the Commission is to submit proposals of control for the cessation or phasing-out of discharges, emissions and losses of such substances.
(3) Commission Recommendation 2001/838/EC of 7 November 2001 on the results of the risk evaluation and the risk reduction strategies for the substances: acrylaldehyde; dimethyl sulphate; nonylphenol phenol, 4-nonyl-, branched; tert-butyl methyl ether(6), adopted within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 793/93, proposed a risk limitation strategy for NP and NPE, recommending in particular that restrictions be placed on their marketing and use.
(4) In order to protect the environment the Commission is invited to consider an amendment to Council Directive 86/278/EEC of 12 June 1986 on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when sewage sludge is used in agriculture(7), with a view to establishing a concentration limit value for NP and NPE in sewage sludge that is to be spread on land.
(5) In order further to protect the environment, the placing on the market and the use of NP and NPE should be restricted for specific uses which result in discharges, emissions or losses to the environment. However, the restriction concerning co-formulants in pesticides and biocides should be without prejudice to the validity of existing national authorisations of pesticides or biocidal products containing NPE as a co-formulant, which have been granted before the entry into force of this Directive, until they expire.
(6) Scientific studies have also shown that cement preparations containing chromium VI may cause allergic reactions in certain circumstances, if there is direct and prolonged contact with the human skin. All uses of cement bear the risk of direct and prolonged contact with the human skin, with the exception of controlled closed and totally automated processes.
(7) The CSTEE has confirmed the adverse health effects of chromium VI in cement.
(8) Individual protection measures are necessary, but not sufficient to prevent skin contact with cement. Moreover, according to the hierarchy of protection provisions contained in Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (Fourteenth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)(8), the employer is to ensure as a priority that the level of exposure is reduced to as low a level as possible when substitution is impossible, and apply individual protection measures only where exposure cannot be prevented by other means.
(9) In order to protect human health, it therefore appears necessary to restrict the placing on the market and the use of cement. In particular, the placing on the market and the use of cement or cement preparations containing more than 2 ppm chromium VI should be restricted in the case of activities where there is a possibility of contact with the skin. In controlled closed and totally automated processes this is not the case, and they should therefore be exempted. Reducing agents should be used at the earliest possible stage, i.e. at the point of cement production.
(10) In order further to protect human health, the Commission is invited to consider an amendment to Annex I to Directive 98/24/EC so as to establish a binding occupational exposure limit value for dust.
(11) The use of chromium VI has already been prohibited by Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles(9) and by Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment(10). Other uses of chromium VI are being examined in the framework of a risk assessment, and the Commission is invited to propose as soon as possible the appropriate legislation to address any risks identified.
(12) Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations(11) should be amended accordingly.
(13) The objective of this Directive is to introduce harmonised provisions with regard to NP, NPE and cement, thus preserving the internal market whilst ensuring a high level of protection for health and the environment, as required by Article 95 of the Treaty.
(14) The adoption of a harmonised testing method is desirable for the application of this Directive as regards the content of chromium VI in cement but should not delay the entry into force of this Directive. Therefore, the Commission, in accordance with Article 2a of Directive 76/769/EEC, should establish such a method. The testing method should preferably be developed at European level, if appropriate by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).
(15) This Directive does not affect the Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, such as Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(12), and individual directives based thereon, in particular Council Directive 90/394/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens at work (Sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)(13) and Directive 98/24/EC,
1. Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
2. The validity of existing national authorisations of pesticides or biocidal products containing NPE as a co-formulant, which have been granted before the entry into force of this Directive, shall not be affected by this Directive until they expire.
A harmonised testing method for the application of point 47, cement, of Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 2a of that Directive.
Before 17 July 2004 Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these provisions from 17 January 2005.
Where these provisions are adopted by Member States, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 746/85 (2), and in particular Article 3d (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 provides for a system of production aid for certain products; whereas Article 3d (1) (b) of the Regulation lays down that aid shall be paid only for products which meet minimum quality standards to be laid down;
Whereas the aim of such quality requirements is to avoid production of products for which no demand exists or products which would create distortion of the market; whereas the requirements must be based on traditional fair manufacturing procedures;
Whereas with a view to implementing the production aid system this Regulation must be applied in conjunction with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 of 5 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables (3), in particular as regards examination of the processed products;
Whereas the quality requirements laid down in this Regulation are measures for implementing the production aid system; whereas quality requirements for the marketing of the products are not yet established by the Community; whereas national requirements to that end may continue to be applied by the Member States, provided they are compatible with the provisions of the Treaty on the free movement of goods;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
This Regulation lays down the minimum quality requirements which Williams pears in syrup, as defined in Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84, hereinafter referred to as pears in syrup, shall meet in order to benefit from the production aid provided for in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77.
For the manufacture of pears in syrup only pears of the species Pyrus Communis L. variety Williams shall be used. The raw material shall be fresh, sound, clean and suitable for processing.
The raw material may before being used for the manufacture of pears in syrup have been chilled.
1. Pears in syrup shall be manufactured in one of the styles defined in paragraph 2.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation the styles are defined as follows:
(a) 'whole fruit' means the whole fruit, with core and with or without stalk;
(b) 'halves' means the cored fruit cut into two approximately equal parts;
(c) 'quarters' means the cored fruit cut into four approximately equal parts;
(d) 'slices' means the cored fruit cut into more than four wedge-shaped parts;
(e) 'dice' means the cored fruit cut into cube-like parts.
3. Each container with pears in syrup shall contain only one style and the fruit or pieces thereof shall be practically uniform in size. No other type of fruit may be found in the container.
4. The colour of pears in syrup shall be characteristic for the variety Williams. A slightly pink discoloration shall not be considered a defect. Pears in
syrup containing special ingredients shall be considered to be of characteristic colour when there is no abnormal discoloration for the respective ingredient used.
5. Pears in syrup shall be free of foreign materials of non-vegetable origin, and from foreign flavours and odours. The fruit shall be fleshy and may be variable in tenderness but shall neither be excessively soft nor excessively firm.
6. Pears in syrup shall be practically free from:
(a) harmless foreign materials of vegetable orgin;
(b) peel;
(c) blemished units.
Whole fruits, halves and quarters shall also be practically free from mechanically damaged units.
1. Fruit, or pieces thereof, is considered practically uniform in size when, in a container, the weight of the largest unit is not more than twice the weight of the smallest unit. However, until 30 June 1987 whole fruit and halves, packed in containers with a nominal water capacity of 2 650 ml or more shall be considered practically uniform in size when the weight of the largest unit is not more than 2,5 times the weight of the smallest unit.
If there are less than 20 units in a container, one unit may be disregarded. When determining the largest and the smallest units, broken units shall not be taken into consideration.
2. Pears in syrup shall be considered as complying with Article 3 (6) when the following tolerances are not exceeded:
1.2,3 // // // // Style // 1.2.3 // // Whole, halves and quarters // Other // // // // Blemished units // 15 % by number // 1,5 kilograms // Mechanically damaged units // 10 % by number // Not applicable // Peel // 100 cm2 aggregate area // 100 cm2 aggregate area // Harmless foreign material of vegetable origin: // // // - Core material // 10 units // 10 units // - Loose pear seeds // 80 pieces // 80 pieces // - Other material, including loose core material // 60 pieces // 60 pieces // // //
The tolerances fixed, other than those fixed by reference to per cent by number, are per 10 kilograms drained net weight.
Cores shall not be considered as a defect in whole styles with core.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2:
(a) 'blemished units' means fruit with discoloration on the surface or spots which definitely contrast with the overall colour and which may penetrate into the flesh, in particular bruises, scab and dark discoloration;
(b) 'mechanically damaged units' means units which have been severed into definite parts, and all of such portions that equal the size of a full-size unit are considered one unit or units where the trimming has been excessive and includes serious gouges on the surface of the units which substantially detracts from the appearance;
(c) 'peel' means both peel adhering to pear flesh and peel found loose in the container;
(d) 'harmless foreign material of vegetable origin' means vegetable materials which are irrelevant to the fruit itself or which have been attached to the fresh fruit but should have been removed during processing, in particular core material, pear seeds, stalks and leaves and pieces thereof. Peel shall, however, be excluded;
(e) 'core material' means the seed cell or parts thereof attached to the fruit, with or without seeds. Pieces of core are considered as equivalent to one unit when, having been aggregated, the pieces total approximately one-half of a core; (f) 'loose pear seeds' means seeds which are not included in core material but which are loose in the container.
1. The pears and the syrup in a container shall occupy not less than 90 % of the water capacity of the container.
2. The drained net weight of the fruit shall on average be at least equal to the following percentages of the water capacity, expressed in grams, of the container:
(%)
1.2,3 // // // Style // Containers with a nominal water capacity of // 1.2.3 // // 425 ml or more // less than 425 ml // // // // Whole // 50 // 46 // Halves // 54 // 46 // Quarters // 56 // 46 // Slices // 56 // 46 // Dice // 56 // 50 // // //
3. Where pears in syrup are packed in glass containers, the water capacity shall be reduced by 20 ml before the percentages referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are calculated.
4. Each container shall be marked with a reference identifying the date and year of production and the processor. The marking, which may be in code form, shall be approved by the competent authorities in the Member State where production takes place and these authorities may adopt additional provisions as to the marking itself.
The processor shall daily and at regular intervals during the processing period verify that the pears in syrup comply with the requirements for benefiting from aid. The result of the verification shall be recorded.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1985.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 of 13 July 2009 providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for high-quality beef (3) sets out detailed rules for the submission and issue of import licences.
(2) Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 provides that in cases where quantities covered by licence applications exceed the quantities available for the quota period, allocation coefficients should be fixed for the quantities covered by each licence application.

Whereas:
(1) On 15 November 1999 the Council adopted Decision 1999/730/CFSP(2) concerning a European Union contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons in Cambodia, which was aimed at implementing Joint Action 1999/34/CFSP(3).
(2) Some objectives could not be fulfilled by 15 November 2003, the date on which Decision 2002/904/CFSP expired, and others should be consolidated and expanded after that date.
(3) The European Union has made a total contribution of EUR 5135992 since 1999 to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms in Cambodia, implementing Joint Action 1999/34/CFSP.

This should encourage other donors to support the drive to reduce and control small arms and light weapons and, where appropriate, allow the implementation of joint projects with other donors.
(4) Decision 1999/730/CFSP should therefore be extended and amended,
Decision 1999/730/CFSP is hereby amended as follows:
(a) in Article 3(1), the financial reference amount "EUR 1568000" shall be replaced by "EUR 1436953";

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2135/86 (2), and in particular Article 21 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 envisages inter alia that where the free-at-frontier price of a specified product, imported from a third country, stays below the reference price during at least three successive marketing days and where considerable quantities of that product are imported, imports of products listed, inter alia, in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 may be made subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3191/82 (3) laid down detailed rules for the reference price system in the fishery products sector and in particular for the determination of the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 21 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas the reference price for frozen squid, listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, for the 1987 fishing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4105/86 (4);
Whereas for the first eight months of 1987 it has been established that Spain has imported squid of the genus Illex, originating in third countries, in frozen form, whole and non-cleaned, at abnormally low prices;
Whereas, as regards squid of the genus Loligo, the Commission adopted on 10 July 1987 Regulation (EEC) No 2052/87 (5) in order to make imports of certain frozen squid subject to observance of the reference price up to 31 October 1987; whereas this measure was adopted in view of the state of the Italian market for squid established in the early months of 1987;
Whereas this state has not improved; whereas in particular the price level on the Italian market of frozen squid of the genus Loligo, of species Loligo patagonica, has not increased despite the adoption of the abovementioned measure and is still market by an abnormally low price for imported products, leading to national produce being put into store;
Whereas for the first 10 months of 1987 it has been established that the commodity market has imported squid of the genus Loligo of species other than Loligo patagonica, originating in third countries, in frozen form, whole and non-cleaned, at abnormally low prices;
Whereas, for the above products, the free-at-frontier price of significant quantities remained below the reference price for three consecutive working days;
Whereas, since the imported products have the same commercial characteristics as the Community products these imports have caused a fall in prices of the latter; whereas, in view of the current state of the Community market in frozen squid as well as of the expected volume of imports, and their prices, there is a danger that this price situation could continue or even worsen in the coming months; whereas, in order to avoid disturbances due to offers at abnormally low prices, it is necessary to require imports for the products in question to observe the reference price;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
1. The placing into free circulation in the Community of squid of the genuses Loligo and Illex in frozen form, whole and non-cleaned, falling within subheadings ex 03.03 B IV a 1 aa) and ex 03.03 B IV a) 1 cc) of the Common Customs Tariff, shall be subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price given in the Annex.
2. However, paragraph 1 shall not apply to products for which it is proved that they were in transit towards the Community at the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Interested parties shall provide proof to the satisfaction of the competent customs authorities that the conditions set out in the first subparagraph have been fulfilled, by means of all available customs and road, rail or marine transport documents.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 October 1988.

(1) Based on the information provided by the competent authorities, the Commission notes that import licences for semi-milled and wholly milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30 have been issued in respect of 193 841 tonnes for 1 September 2004 to 31 August 2005. The import duty for semi-milled or wholly milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30 must therefore be amended.
(2) As the applicable duty must be fixed no later than three days from the end of the period referred to above, this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(3) This amendment must take effect on 1 September 2005 in order to take account of the application on that date of Regulation (EC) No 2152/2005. Because this duty is being fixed retroactively, provision must be made to repay the traders concerned any overpayments of duty, at their request,
The import duty for semi-milled or wholly milled rice falling with CN code shall be EUR 145 per tonne.
The amounts of duty exceeding the amount legally due booked since 1 September 2005 shall be repaid or remitted.
To this end, the traders concerned are invited to lodge applications in accordance with Article 236 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2) and the relevant implementing provisions contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3).

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (3),
Whereas Article 69 and point 4 of Annex VIII, Article 84 and point 2 of Annex X and Article 112 and point 4 of Annex XII of the 1994 Act of Accession, concerning respectively Austria, Finland and Sweden, provide that Article 7 of Directive 76/116/EEC (4), in so far as it concerns the cadmium content of fertilisers, shall not apply to those Member States before 1 January 1999 and that the said provisions of the Act of Accession will be reviewed in accordance with Community procedures before 31 December 1998;
Whereas the said review cannot be completed by 31 December 1998 because of the absence in many Member States of the exposure data needed to evaluate the risks to health and the environment of cadmium in fertilisers; whereas the review needs to be continued by performing further work after this date;
Whereas the further work should evaluate the risks in Member States from cadmium in fertilisers in particular to the health of vulnerable population groups and to the environment; whereas this can only be accomplished after several years;

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 February 2002.

Whereas provision should therefore be made for Community financial aid to enable the Community reference laboratory to perform the tasks specified in the Directive;
Whereas the Community financial aid must initially be provided for a one-year period; whereas this arrangement will be reviewed, with a view to an extension, before the end of the said period;
Whereas a contract must be concluded between the European Community and the institute designated as the Community reference laboratory for swine vesicular disease;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Community shall grant the AFRC Institute for Animal Health, Pirbright, United Kingdom, the Community reference laboratory for swine vesicular disease designated in Annex II to Council Directive 92/119/EEC, financial aid amounting to not more than ECU 50 000.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/409/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in March 1998 Spain received an application from BASF AG for the inclusion of the active substance profoxydim (former names: clefoxydim, BAS 625H) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(3) For this 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 rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 28 March 2001.
(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the time-frame provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for profoxydim will have been completed within 24 months.
(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,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing profoxydim for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.

Having regard to Council Regulation No 143/67/EEC (2) of 21 June 1967 on the compensatory amount applicable to imports of certain vegetable oils, and in particular Article 7 thereof;
Whereas if the provisions of Regulation No 143/67/EEC are to be correctly applied, prices for the oil seeds, oleaginous fruit, oils and oil-cake referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation should be determined at the same stage ; whereas to this end, account being taken of the different transport costs for these products, the prices for the above-mentioned oils should be determined f.o.b. or ex frontier of the country of origin or of the exporting country;
Whereas if no offers for oil seeds, oleaginous fruit or oil-cake are made in the country concerned, the offers to be taken into consideration are those offers for the same products for delivery c.i.f. Rotterdam made on the world market, less the transport costs from that port to the point of departure which are taken into consideration by the country of origin or by the exporting country;
Whereas to determine whether the price ratio between the oil seeds or oleaginous fruit and the oils and oil-cake obtained from them has been influenced by the measures or practices referred to in Article 1 of Regulation No 143/67/EEC, representative yields and transport costs for the countries offering the oil on the Community market should be taken into consideration ; whereas, if it is impossible to ascertain these yields and costs, estimates should be made;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats;
The prices for oils, oil seeds and oleaginous fruit and the value of oil-cake referred to in Article 1 of Regulation No 143/67/EEC shall be determined, on the basis of actual offers made for a product, f.o.b. or ex frontier of the country of origin or of the exporting country of the oils in question.
If these offers are not made f.o.b. or ex frontier the necessary adjustments shall be made.
If no offers are made in the countries concerned for oil seeds or oleaginous fruit from which the imported oils are obtained or for oil cake obtained from these oil seeds or oleaginous fruit, the offers to be taken into consideration shall be the most favourable offers made on the world market, calculated c.i.f. Rotterdam, adjusted f.o.b. or ex frontier of the country of origin or of the exporting country.
The processing costs to be taken into consideration shall be costs in the country of origin or in the exporting country. If it is impossible to obtain sufficiently precise information on these costs, costs may be estimated on the basis of factors which reflect as closely as possible conditions prevailing in the countries concerned. (1) OJ No 172, 30.9.1966, p. 3025/66. (2) OJ No 125, 26.6.1967, p. 2463/67.
For the purpose of calculating the ratio referred to in Article 1 (b) of Regulation No 143/67/EEC, the yields of seeds, in terms of oil and oil-cake, to be taken into consideration shall be those found in the exporting country or in the country of origin. If it is impossible to obtain sufficiently precise information on these yields, yields may be estimated on the basis of known average yields for these seeds.

To implement that administrative assistance, the Commission, represented by the European Anti-Fraud Office (hereinafter referred to as "OLAF"), and the Russian authorities have concluded an arrangement establishing a mechanism for the communication of information on movements of goods between the Community and the Russian Federation.
(2) As part of that administrative assistance, Regulation (EC) No 2584/2000(4) laid down, specifically in relation to the transport by road of beef, veal and pigmeat products bound for the Russian Federation, the information which operators must forward to the competent authorities of the Member States and the system for communicating that information between the competent authorities of the Member States, OLAF and the Russian authorities.
(3) That information and the system of communication introduced will make it possible to trace exports of the products concerned to the Russian Federation and, where appropriate, detect cases in which a refund is not due and must be recovered.
(4) In view of the success of the system introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2584/2000, the system for the communication of information should be extended to exports of the products concerned by any type of transport, a means should be devised to enable the exporter to specify more precisely the type of transport employed and a legal value should be conferred on the information obtained through this system.

Consequently, for the exports provided for by this Regulation, the information from the Russian authorities should be considered a new source of proof supplementing the existing sources of proof.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2584/2000 should accordingly be amended.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 7 November 2014
extending the application of Implementing Decision 2011/335/EU authorising the Republic of Lithuania to apply a measure derogating from Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2014/795/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) (the VAT Directive), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 16 May 2014, Lithuania requested authorisation for a measure derogating from Article 287(11) of the VAT Directive in order to continue to exempt certain taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of EUR 45 000 at the conversion rate on the day of its accession to the Union (‘the measure’). The measure would release those taxable persons from certain or all of the obligations in relation to value added tax (VAT) referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of the VAT Directive.
(2) By letter dated 6 June 2014, the Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by Lithuania. By letter dated 12 June 2014, the Commission notified Lithuania that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.
(3) A special scheme for small enterprises is already available to Member States under Title XII of the VAT Directive. The extended measure derogates from Title XII of the VAT Directive only in so far as the taxable person's annual turnover threshold for the special scheme is higher than that allowed for Lithuania under Article 287(11) of the VAT Directive, which is EUR 29 000.
(4) By Council Implementing Decision 2011/335/EU, (2) Lithuania was authorised, as a derogating measure, to exempt taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 45 000 until 31 December 2014. Given that this threshold has resulted in reduced VAT obligations for smaller businesses, Lithuania should be authorised to extend the measure for a further limited period. Taxable persons may still opt for the normal VAT arrangements.
(5) From information provided by Lithuania, the extension of the derogation will only have a negligible impact on the overall amount of tax revenue collected at the final stage of consumption.
(6) The derogation has no impact on the Union's own resources accruing from VAT,
In the second paragraph of Article 2 of Implementing Decision 2011/335/EU, the date ‘31 December 2014’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2017’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2015.

32010D0401 | 2010/401/: Council Decision of 13 July 2010 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Cyprus
| 20.7.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 186/30
COUNCIL DECISION
of 13 July 2010
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Cyprus
(2010/401/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(6) in conjunction with Article 126(13) and Article 136 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Cyprus,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provision of the said Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 126(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 126(3) and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 126(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Cyprus. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Cyprus on 15 June 2010 (3).
(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Cyprus, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.
(7) According to data notified by the Cypriot authorities in April 2010, the general government deficit in Cyprus reached 6,1 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. The deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value, but the excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it results from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. According to the Commission services’ 2010 spring forecast, real GDP in Cyprus is projected to shrink further, although to a lesser extent, by almost ½ % in 2010 compared with 1¾ % in 2009. However, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary. According to the Commission services’ spring 2010 forecast, the budgetary deficit would reach about 7¾ % of GDP in 2011 on a no-policy-change basis. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(8) According to data notified by the Cypriot authorities in April 2010, the general government gross debt remains below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 56,2 % of GDP in 2009. For 2010, Cyprus notified a planned debt of 62 % of GDP, thus exceeding the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value. The Commission services’ spring 2010 forecast projects debt to rise further to 62,3 % of GDP in 2010 and 67,6 % in 2011 on the back of a deteriorated primary balance. In view of these trends, the debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Cyprus, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Cyprus.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances for which completeness has been established in accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Fluazifop-P is an active substance for which completeness has been established in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (4) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (5) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second and third stages of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included fluazifop-P.
(3) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 of 20 September 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (6) the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from entry into force of that Regulation. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (7) was adopted on the non-inclusion of fluazifop-P.
(4) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I.
(5) The application was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(6) France evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 19 February 2010. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on fluazifop-P to the Commission on 17 November 2010 (8). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for fluazifop-P.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing fluazifop-P may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve fluazifop-P in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(8) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.
(9) Without prejudice to the conclusion that fluazifop-P should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(11) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of the approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing fluazifop-P. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw existing authorisations. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(12) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (9) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (10) should be amended accordingly.
(14) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of fluazifop-P and the withdrawal of authorisations for plants protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning fluazifop-P in the Annex to that Decision. It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance fluazifop-P, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing fluazifop-P as an active substance by 30 June 2012.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing fluazifop-P as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing fluazifop-P as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing fluazifop-P as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Amendments to Decision 2008/934/EC
The line concerning fluazifop-P in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.

(2006/59/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 21 September 2000 Karl Fazer Ltd made a request to the competent authorities of Finland to place foods with added phytosterols on the market as novel foods or novel food ingredients.
(2) On 29 January 2001 the competent authorities of Finland issued their initial assessment report.
(3) In their initial assessment report, Finland’s competent food safety assessment body came to the conclusion that the phytosterols/phytostanols are safe for human consumption.
(4) The Commission forwarded this initial assessment report to all Member States on 13 March 2001.
(5) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the products were raised in accordance with that provision.
(6) The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) in its opinion ‘General view on the long-term effects of the intake of elevated levels of phytosterols from multiple dietary sources, with particular attention to the effects on β-carotene’ of 26 September 2002 indicated that there was no evidence of additional benefits at intakes higher than 3 g/day and that high intakes might induce undesirable effects and that it was therefore prudent to avoid plant sterol intakes exceeding 3 g/day.
(7) Furthermore, the SCF, in its opinion on applications for approval of a variety of plant sterol enriched foods of 5 March 2003, reiterated its concerns about cumulative intakes from a wide range of foods with added phytosterols. However, at the same time the SCF confirmed with regard to the application of Oy Karl Fazer Ab that the addition of phytosterols to a wide range of bakery products was safe.
(8) In order to meet the concerns on cumulative intakes of phytosterols/phytostanols from different products Oy Karl Fazer Ab consequently agreed to reduce the original application to rye bread.
(9) Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 of 31 March 2004 (2) concerning the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters ensures that consumers receive the information necessary in order to avoid excessive intake of additional phytosterols.
(10) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not given a favourable opinion; the Commission therefore submitted a proposal to the Council on 22 August 2005 in accordance with Article 5(4) of the Council Decision 1999/468/EC (3), the Council being required to act within three months.
(11) However, the Council has not reacted within the required time-limit; a Decision should now be adopted by the Commission,
Foods and food ingredients as described in Annex I with added phytosterols/phytostanols as specified in Annex II hereinafter called the products, may be placed on the market in the Community.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(4), and in particular Article 173(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 173 to 177 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provide that the Commission shall periodically establish unit values for the products referred to in the classification in Annex 26 to that Regulation.

of 12 December 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Nepal regarding certain exports of textiles to the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (3), the Community granted generalised tariff preferences to Nepal. Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 is due to lapse on 31 December 2008 but will be replaced as of 1 January 2009 by Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (4), which confirms the granting by the Community of the said tariff preferences to Nepal.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establishes the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 also provides for a derogation from that definition in favour of least-developed beneficiary countries benefiting from the generalised system of preferences (GSP) which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.
(3) Nepal has benefited from such a derogation for certain textile products under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 (5), which has been prolonged several times, and is due to expire on 31 December 2008.
(4) By letters dated 9 July and 3 October 2008 Nepal submitted a request for prolongation of the derogation in accordance with Article 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(5) When the validity of Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 was last extended, by virtue of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1808/2006 (6), it was expected that new, simpler and more development-friendly GSP rules of origin would be applicable before expiry of the derogation. However new GSP rules of origin have not yet been adopted and it is now expected that such rules of origin will not be in place before the end of 2009.
(6) The request demonstrates that the application of the rules of origin on sufficient working or processing and regional cumulation would affect significantly the ability of the Nepalese garment industry to continue its exports to the Community and deter investment. This would lead to further business closures and unemployment in that country. Furthermore, it seems that application of the GSP rules of origin currently applicable for even a short period would be liable to have the effect described.
(7) The period of prolongation of the derogation should cover the time necessary to adopt and implement new GSP rules of origin. Since the conclusion of longer-term contracts benefiting from the derogation is of particular importance to the stability and growth of Nepalese industry, the prolongation granted should be sufficiently long to permit the economic operators to conclude such contracts.
(8) As a consequence of the application of the future new rules of origin, the Nepalese products which are currently eligible for preferential tariff treatment only through application of the derogation should in future be able to qualify through application of the new rules of origin. The derogation will at that moment become superfluous. In order to ensure clarity for operators, it will therefore be necessary to repeal Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 with effect from the date on which the new rules of origin apply.
(9) The derogation should therefore be prolonged until the date of application of the new rules of origin to be laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, but in any event it should cease to apply on 31 December 2010.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1615/2000 is replaced by the following text:
‘Article 2
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products transported directly from Nepal and imported into the Community up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product during the period from 15 July 2000 until the date of application of an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences, but in any event that derogation shall cease to apply on 31 December 2010.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2009.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Decision 2000/125/EC of 31 January 2000 concerning the conclusion of the Agreement concerning the establishing of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles (‘Parallel Agreement’) (1) the Union acceded to the Parallel Agreement, in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
(2) Changes to the Treaties on which the Union is founded occurred after the adoption of Decision 2000/125/EC. The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union has substantially altered the procedure to be followed for the conclusion of Agreements between the Union and international organisations, making it necessary to adapt Decision 2000/125/EC to the new procedures.
(3) The procedure for establishing the position to be adopted on the Union’s behalf in the United Nations concerning the adoption of UNECE Regulations or amendments to UNECE Regulations should be adapted to the new procedures set out in Article 218(9) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(4) It is appropriate that the procedure for adopting proposed amendments to the Parallel Agreement submitted by the Union, as well as the decision whether to raise an objection to a proposed amendment, be the same as the procedure for the accession to international agreements.
(5) Decision 2000/125/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 2000/125/EC is amended as follows:
(1) Article 5 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

(5) On 24 October 2014, the Bank of Greece requested that the volume of euro coins that Greece may issue in 2014 be increased from EUR 6,856 million to EUR 12,856 million to be able to respond to an unexpected rise in the demand for coins.
(6) The ECB approves the abovementioned request for an increase in the volume of euro coins intended for circulation that Greece may issue in 2014.
(7) Therefore, Decision ECB/2013/46 should be amended accordingly,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30117). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30117) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 16 November 2011 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30117) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that the use of the preparation has the potential to improve the production of silage from all forages by reducing the pH and increasing the preservation of dry matter. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30117) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
