| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 16 December 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the fuel consumption of motor vehicles (80/1268/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy pursuant to certain national laws relate inter alia to the method of measuring fuel consumption which must be used to indicate the fuel consumption of a vehicle type;
Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another ; whereas this results in technical barriers to trade which must be eliminated by all Member States adopting the same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, in order in particular to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (4), as last amended by Directive 80/1267/EEC (5), to be introduced in respect of each type of vehicle;
Whereas it is of paramount importance to establish a method of measuring fuel consumption by motor vehicles for inclusion in Community requirements;
Whereas a Community method of measuring fuel consumption is also necessary to ensure, in particular, that customers and users are supplied with objective and precise information;
Whereas the requirements of this Directive apply only to motor vehicles in international motor vehicle classification category M1 as set out in Directive 70/156/EEC ; whereas a method of measuring the fuel consumption of the other categories of motor vehicles will be established as soon as certain technical difficulties can be resolved,
For the purpose of this Directive, "vehicle" means any motor vehicle intended for use on the road, with or without bodywork, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeeding 25 km/h, with the exception of vehicles which run on rails and of agricultural tractors and machinery.
No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval in respect of a vehicle, or refuse or prohibit the sale, registration, entry into service or use of a vehicle, on grounds relating to its fuel consumption if the consumption figures have been determined in accordance with Annexes I and II and are set out in a document given to the vehicle owner at the time of purchase in a manner and form decided on by each Member State.
Any amendments necessary for adapting the requirements of the Annexes to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC. (1)OJ No C 104, 28.4.1980, p. 1. (2)OJ No C 265, 13.10.1980, p. 76. (3)OJ No C 182, 21.7.1980, p. 3. (4)OJ No L 42, 23.2.1970, p. 1. (5)See page 34 of this Official Journal.
1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down for the tariff classification of oscillating connecting-rods for lawnmowers or grasscutters, which receive the rotating motion of the drive shaft and transform it into a lateral, reciprocating motion which is in turn transmitted to the cutter bar of the lawnmower or grass-cutter;
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 604/83 (3) classifies under tariff heading No 84.25 hay or grass mowers, and under heading No 84.63 transmission shafts, gears and gearing; whereas, pursuant to Note 2 (b) to Section XVI, these two headings also cover components and spare parts when these are recognized as being suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery covered by these headings;
Whereas these two headings must be taken into consideration in the classification of the aforementioned articles;
Whereas, although they perform the function of energy transmission, these oscillating connecting-rods cannot be regarded as transmission shafts or as components or parts of gears but must, because of their specialized construction, be regarded as components or parts recognizable as being for lawnmowers or grass-cutters;
Whereas these oscillating connecting-rods are excluded from heading No 84.63 by the customs Cooperation Council explanatory notes;
Whereas the aforementioned oscillating connecting-rods must therefore be classified in heading No 84.25;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Oscillating connecting-rods for lawnmowers or grass-cutters, which receive the rotating motion of the drive shaft and transform it into a lateral, reciprocating motion which is in turn transmitted to the cutter bar of the lawnmower or grass-cutter, must be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under heading:
84.25 Harvesting and threshing machinery; straw and fodder presses: hay or grass mowers: winnowing and similar cleaning machines for seed, grain or leguminous vegetables and egg-grading and other grading machines for agricultural produce (other than those of a kind used in the bread grain milling industry falling within heading No 84.29).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The restrictions laid down by Commission Decision 1999/788/EC of 3 December 1999 on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of cetain products of porcine and poultry origin intended for human or animal consumption(4) are not to apply to products which have been shown by analyses not to be contaminated by dioxins or which have been derived from animals slaughtered after 20 September 1999 or from eggs laid after that date.
(2) The Belgian authorities have informed the Commission that, following the completion of an analytical programme, all Belgian poultry holdings are now certified by the Belgian authorities as not being contaminated by dioxins or PCB's. In addition, the eggs laid before 20 September 1999 and all the products derived therefrom have been identified and have been subjected to appropriate investigation, including analysis. Those investigations have been carried out with negative results since July 1999. Furthermore, the Belgian authorities have continued to carry out a number of surveillance programmes on the feed sector. The results of those programmes have not shown positive results linked to PCB and dioxin contamination in certain feed ingredients and compound feedingstuffs produced after 2 April 1999. The identification and investigation of all the stock of pigmeat, poultrymeat, and derived products derived from animals slaughtered before 20 September 1999 has not yet been completed.
(3) In the light of the foregoing, it is appropriate to lift the restrictions on eggs and products derived thereform and on rendered fats, processed animal proteins, compound feedingstuffs and pre-mixtures. Decision 1999/788/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 1999/788/EC is amended as follows.
1. In Article 1(1), points (g) to (k) and point (m) are deleted.
2. In Article 1(2)(b), the words "or from eggs laid after that date" are deleted.
3. In Article 4(1), the words "or from eggs laid before that date" are deleted.
4. In Annex A, the words "Eggs, egg products, fresh poultrymeat and derived products" are replaced by "Fresh poultrymeat and derived products".
5. Annex B is amended as follows:
(a) in Part I, the seventh to the 11th and the 13th indents are deleted;
(b) in Part IV, the second indent is replaced by the following: "the product was derived from animals slaughtered after 20 September 1999."
6. In Part I of Annex C, the seventh to the 11th and the 13th indents are deleted.

of 22 February 2002
amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market to include isoproturon as an active substance
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/103/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant-protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), provides for the adoption of a list of active substances of plant-protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list is contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant-protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), and includes isoproturon.
(2) For isoproturon the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Under Regulation (EC) No 933/94, Germany was designated as rapporteur Member State. The rapporteur Member State submitted the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the Commission on 30 July 1999 in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(3) This assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. The review was finalised on 7 December 2001 in the format of the Commission review report for isoproturon.
(4) The review did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant-protection products containing the active substance concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include the active substance concerned in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant-protection products containing the active substances concerned can be granted in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) A period should be specified following the inclusion of isoproturon in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, during which Member States must grant, vary or withdraw, as appropriate, the authorisations of the plant-protection products containing this active substance. In particular, plant-protection products should not be authorised unless account is taken of the conditions associated with the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the uniform principles laid down in the Directive on the basis of a dossier satisfying the prescribed data requirements.
(7) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review report, except for confidential information, is kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties. If the review report has to be updated to take account of technical and scientific developments, the conditions for the inclusion of the substance concerned in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC should also be amended in accordance with that Directive.
(8) A reasonable period must be provided for before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion. Moreover, after inclusion, a reasonable period is necessary to permit Member States to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC on plant-protection products containing isoproturon. In particular, Member States must, within that period, review existing authorisations and, where appropriate, grant new authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete dossier of each plant-protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. For plant-protection products containing several active substances, the complete evaluation on the basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out when all the active substances concerned have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall keep available the review report for isoproturon, except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC, for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, by 30 June 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
In particular they shall, in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant-protection products containing isoproturon as active substance by that date.
When Member States adopt this provision, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. With regard to evaluation and decision-making pursuant to the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto, the deadline for amending or withdrawing authorisations for plant-protection products containing isoproturon as the only active substance shall be 1 January 2007.
3. For plant-protection products containing isoproturon together with another active substance which is in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the period for amending or withdrawing authorisations shall expire four years after the entry into force of the Directive which amended Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC so as to add the last of those substances to it.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas on 8 October 1987 the French Governement notified a programme for the crushing of oil seeds and provided additional information on 18 February, 1 June and 21 October 1988;
Whereas the purpose of the programme is to create oil-seed crushing capacity in an IMP region where such capacity is lacking, so as to add value to the current output of sunflower seed, rape seed and soya beans, and to increase the competitive strength of the relevant activities; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas approval of this programme may not be extended on a pro rata basis to the share of Community oil seeds which will be processed under the programme during the next three marketing years, and whereas the national authorities must provide proper supporting documents;
Whereas each individual project submitted under the programme must be supported by proper evidence of a sufficient and lasting contribution from the producers to the economic advantages deriving therefrom;
Whereas the programme includes in sufficient detail the information referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives in Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in the oil-seed crushing sector in France; whereas the deadline set for the implementation of this programme does not exceed the period referred to in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The programme concerning oil-seed crushing notified by the French Government on 8 October 1987, with supplementary information on 18 February, 1 June and 21 October 1988 in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved.
2. Approval of the programme may not concern equipment used for the crushing of non-Community oil seeds.
3. France must provide supporting documents required for proper verification of the origin of the agricultural products used.

Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,
Whereas in Finland the production of seed of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), variety Helmi, satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1997 and is therefore not adequate to meet this country's needs; whereas this is an early variety (growing time in the applicant country 106 days) suitable for northern growing conditions and having grain with a very low chlorophyll content to be used for medicinal purposes;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Finland should therefore be authorised to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1998 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Finland with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Finland is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1998 the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 140 tonnes of seed of the categories 'certified seed of the first generation` or 'certified seed of the second generation` of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), variety Helmi, which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 69/208/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the germination capacity is at least 70 % of pure seed and the official label bears the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 70 %`.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territories of the seed authorised to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territories pursuant to this Decision.

(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 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)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For penthiopyrad the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/466/EU (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 10 December 2009 an application from LKC UK Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance penthiopyrad in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2010/466/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 31 January 2012.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance penthiopyrad (4) on 7 February 2013. The draft assessment 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 3 October 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for penthiopyrad.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing penthiopyrad may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve penthiopyrad.
(6) 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. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) 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.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of 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 six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing penthiopyrad. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment 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.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) 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 to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) 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 penthiopyrad, 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 penthiopyrad as an active substance by 31 October 2014.
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 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 penthiopyrad 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 30 April 2014 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 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 penthiopyrad as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing penthiopyrad as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 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 those 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.
Entry into force and date of application

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and Slovenia, approved by Decision 1999/144/EC, ECSC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission of 21 December 1998 on the conclusion of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, acting within the framework of the European Union, of the one part, and the Republic of Slovenia, of the other part(1), provides for tariff concessions for processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia. Protocol 3 was amended by Decision No 5/2001 of the EU-Slovenia Association Council(2).
(2) A trade agreement has recently been concluded which amends Decision No 5/2001. The agreement aims to improve economic convergence in preparation for accession of Slovenia to the European Union and is scheduled to enter into force not later than 1 July 2003. On the Community side that agreement lays down concessions in the form of completed liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products and duty free quotas for others. For imports outside of those quotas the provisions laid down in Protocol 3 continue to apply.
(3) The procedure for adopting a decision to amend Decision No 5/2001 will not be completed in time for it to enter into force on 1 July 2003. It is therefore necessary to provide for the application of the tariff concessions made to Slovenia on an autonomous basis as from 1 July 2003.
(4) For the imports of certain processed agricultural products no customs duties should be applied and for others duty free quotas should be opened.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2057/2001 of 19 October 2001 on the opening of tariff quotas applicable to Community imports of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia(3) should continue to apply for certain goods covered by Protocol 3 but not listed in this Regulation.
(6) On processed agricultural products covered by Protocol 3 but not listed in this Regulation or for which the quotas opened by this Regulation are exhausted the provisions laid down in Protocol 3 should continue to apply.
(7) Processed agricultural products not covered by Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Slovenia should not be eligible for export refunds under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(4).
(8) 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(5) provides for a system for managing tariff quotas. The tariff quotas opened by this Regulation should be managed by the Community authorities and the Member States in accordance with that system.
(9) The measures necessary to implement this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6),
From 1 July 2003 imports into the Community of processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and listed in Annex I shall be exempted from customs duties and charges having equivalent effect.
1. Imports into the Community of processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia listed in Annex II shall be exempted from customs duties and charges having equivalent effect, at the levels and within the limits of the annual Community tariff quotas set out in that Annex.
2. The quantities of goods subject to tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 2057/2001 and put in free circulation from 1 January to 30 June 2003, shall be fully counted against the quantities provided in the corresponding tariff quotas set out in Annex II.
Processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Slovenia shall not be eligible for export refunds under Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000.
For processed agricultural products which are not covered by Annex I and Annex II or for which the quotas referred to in Annex II are exhausted, the provisions laid down in Protocol 3 shall continue to apply.
Regulation (EC) No 2057/2001 shall continue to apply for the tariff quota opened under Order No 09.1758 for products with CN code 2001 90 96.
The Commission may suspend the measures provided for in Articles 1, 2 and 3 in case of non-application of the reciprocal preferences agreed by Slovenia, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2).
The tariff quotas referred to in Annex II shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee referred to in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(7), hereinafter referred to as "the Committee".
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 20,206 EUR/100 kg.

Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
(1) Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the "least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety"; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory-production control system under the responsability of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
(2) Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
(3) Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
(4) Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
(5) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsability a factory-production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory-production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for harmonised standards.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 March 1988
approving aid from France to the coalmining industry during 1988
(Only the French text is authentic)
(88/243/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),
Whereas:
I
The French Government informed the Commission by letter of 29 December 1987, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of current production by the coalmining industry during 1988.
The following financial measure is submitted for the approval of the Commission under the above Decision:
1.2 // // (in million FF) // - Aid to cover operating losses: // 1 661,0 // - Aid to the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches des Charbonnages de France (CERCHAR): // 80,0
The aid totalling FF 1 661 000 000 to cover operating losses will cover only part of the difference, for each tonne produced, between foreseeable average costs and the foreseeable average returns. The aid will cover only 51 % of the anticipated operating losses and therefore complies with the conditions of Article 3 (1) of the Decision.
The aid to cover operating losses is aimed at phasing the closure of certain pits. A contribution is thereby made to solving the social and regional problems related to developments in the coal industry pursuant to the third indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision;
The French Government proposes to grant aid to CERCHAR for 1988 in order to provide support for technical research in the coalmining sector. The amount of this aid, which has been in existence for many years and was approved by the Commission as a general measure pursuant to Article 67 of the ECSC Treaty, is FF 80 000 000; whereas the conditions for the granting of this aid remain unchanged.
II
The following observations should be made on the compatibility of the proposed aid with the proper functioning of the common market:
- in view of the size of coal and coke stocks, no supply difficulties are likely to occur in 1988,
- deliveries of French coal to other Community countries are very small,
- price alignment agreements with respect to Community producers are unlikely to arise in 1988,
- French coal prices should not, in principle lead to indirect aid to industrial coal users in 1988.
Therefore, the aid proposed in 1988 for current production by the French coal industry is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
III
Pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the approved aid for current production is used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 3 to 6 of the Decision. Consequently, the Commission must be informed in particular of the amount of the payments and the manner in which they are apportioned,
France is hereby authorized to grant aid in the amount of FF 1 741 000 000 to the French coalmining industry from 1 January 1988 for the 1988 calendar year.
The total amount shall be made up of the following aids:
1. An amount not exceeding FF 1 661 000 000, in aid to cover operating losses;
2. An amount not exceeding FF 80 000 000 in aid to the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche des Charbonnages de France (CERCHAR).
The French Government shall inform the Commission by 30 June 1989 of the actual amounts of aid paid in 1988.

(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 2014.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community temporarily depends on imports from third countries for its supplies of polyvinyl butyral; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend fully the normal duty applicable for the product in question, within a Community tariff quota of appropriate volume; whereas in order not to interfere with the prospects for developing production of this product in the Community and at the same time ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit the benefit of the tariff quota to a quantity of 2 000 tonnes to open the quota for the period up to and including 31 December 1988;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to allow all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the quota and to ensure uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, in the present case, it seems advisable not to allocate this quota among the Member States but to allow them to draw against the quota volume such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedure specified in Article 1 (2); whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is being used up and inform the Member States thereof;
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, all transactions concerning the administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 December 1988, the customs duty applicable to imports of the product mentioned below shall be suspended at the level and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as follows:

Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1985 Act of Accession.
2. If an importer indicates that he is about to import the product in question into a Member State 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 so permits.
3. The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that they draw from the quota in accordance with Article 1 (2) in such a way that imports may be charged interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the said goods have access to the quota so long as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said goods against their drawings as and when the goods are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against the quota.
Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Whereas differences in the legislation of Member States may have a direct effect on the operation of the common market:
Whereas Article 117 of the Treaty provides for the Member States to agree upon the need to promote improved working conditions and an improved standard of living for workers, so as to make possible their harmonization while the improvement is being maintained;
Whereas point 9 of the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights for Workers, adopted at the Strasbourg European Council on 9 December 1989 by the Heads of State and Government of 11 Member States, states:

Whereas, in order to protect the interests of employees with regard to obtaining a document, any change in the main terms of the contract or employment relationship must be communicated to them in writing;
Whereas it is necessary for Member States to guarantee that employees can claim the rights conferred on them by this Directive;
Whereas Member States are to adopt the laws, regulations and legislative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive or are to ensure that both sides of industry set up the necessary provisions by agreement, with Member States being obliged to take the necessary steps enabling them at all times to guarantee the results imposed by this Directive,

(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(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 14 December 2001.

(3) In accordance with the second paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.
(4) Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 10(3) and the second subparagraph of Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular the fourth indent of Article 18(1),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/496/EEC lays down the quarantine conditions concerning live animals imported from third countries, including the general conditions to be fulfilled by quarantine centres situated within the Union. Annex B to that Directive sets out a list of general conditions for the approval of such centres.
(2) Article 10(4)(b) of Directive 91/496/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 2008/73/EC of 15 July 2008 simplifying procedures of listing and publishing information in the veterinary and zootechnical fields (3), introduced a simplified procedure of listing and publishing a list of approved quarantine centres where live animals are to be placed in quarantine or isolation if so required by Union legislation. Under that new procedure, which applies from 1 January 2010, the competence to establish the list of approved quarantine centres which comply with the general conditions set out in Annex B to that Directive no longer lies with the Commission, but with the Member States.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 (4) lays down the animal health conditions for imports into the Union of certain birds other than poultry. Article 6 of that Regulation provides that approved quarantine facilities and centres are to meet also the minimum conditions set out in Annex IV thereto. In addition, Annex V to that Regulation sets out the list of the approved quarantine facilities and centres.
(4) In the interests of simplification of Union legislation, it is necessary to amend Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 and to delete Annex V thereto in order to reflect the new procedures for approval and listing of quarantine facilities and centres foreseen in Directive 91/496/EEC, as amended by Directive 2008/73/EC. Some Member States have already started drawing up lists of approved quarantine centres in order to transpose the provisions of Article 10(4)(b) of Directive 91/496/EEC. Therefore, in the interest of clarity of Union legislation, it is appropriate that the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 be applicable as of the same date of application of Directive 91/496/EEC.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 is amended as follows:
1. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex V is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

31987D0197 | 87/197/EEC: Council Decision of 16 March 1987 on national aid, in the form of partial coverage of the social security contributions of certain milk producers, to be granted by the French Government
| COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 March 1987
on national aid, in the form of partial coverage of the social security contributions of certain milk producers, to be granted by the French Government
(87/197/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Government of the French Republic on 11 February 1987,
Whereas Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty concerning national aid have become applicable to the production of, and trade in, milk and milk products by virtue of Article 23 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 773/87 (2);
Whereas the financial situation of a large number of small milk producers in France is at present calamitous, with the result that they can no longer meet the cost of social security contributions;
Whereas these financial difficulties are due primarily to the small size of their holdings, which prevents the great majority of those producers from continuing milk production under economically viable conditions in the context of the Community measures taken since 1984 to control milk surpluses;
Whereas the non-payment of social security contributions gives rise to a scarcely acceptable situation in which such producers and their families are without social security and medical insurance cover;
Whereas the French Government has contemplated bearing the cost for the 1986/1987 milk year, by way of national aid, of part of the annual average amount of the social security contributions payable by the producers in question;
Whereas the primary purpose of the planned national aid concerned is, according to the explanations provided by the French Government, to encourage, under socially acceptable conditions, conversion of the dairy farms concerned to other types of production;
Whereas the French Government communicated this aid plan to the Commission, which considered it incompatible with the common market and with Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in particular;
Whereas, on the one hand, the purpose of the planned aid is to solve an extremely serious social problem of a specific nature and, on the other hand, its implementation can contribute, through the discontinuation of milk production by the producers concerned, to achievement of the objective of stabilizing the milk market pursued by the Community institutions;
Whereas there are accordingly exceptional circumstances which make it possible to regard the national aid in question, by way of derogation and to the extent and for the period strictly necessary to overcome the particular problem of absence of social security cover, as being compatible with the common market,
The national aid in the form of a contribution to social security contributions to be granted by the French Government to small milk producers who at present can no longer meet the cost of those contributions shall, for the 1986/1987 milk year, be regarded as compatible with the common market within an overall limit of FF 100 million.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 9 (6)(g) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Since August 2000 outbreaks of classical swine fever in the United Kingdom have been declared by the Veterinary Authorities of the United Kingdom.
(2) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Directive 80/217/EEC protection and surveillance zones were immediately established around outbreak sites in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex.
(3) The provisions for the use of a health mark on fresh meat are given in Council Directive 64/433/EEC on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat(2), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(3).
(4) At the request of the United Kingdom, by Decisions 2000/543/EC(4) and 2000/650/EC(5), as amended by Decision 2000/720/EC(6) the Commission adopted specific solutions concerning marking and use of pigmeat coming from pigs kept on holdings situated in certain surveillance zones established in Norfolk and Suffolk and slaughtered, subject to a specific authorisation issued by the competent authority. These Decisions expired on 30 September 2000 and 15 November 2000, respectively.
(5) The United Kingdom has submitted a further request for the adoption of a specific solution concerning marking and use of pigmeat coming from pigs kept on holdings situated in the surveillance zones established in Norfolk and Suffolk, including the one established following the outbreak of classical swine fever confirmed on 4 November 2000.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Directive 80/217/EEC, in particular, Article 9(6), the United Kingdom is authorised to apply the mark described in Article 3(1)(A)(e) of Directive 64/433/EEC to pigmeat obtained from pigs originating from holdings situated in the surveillance zones established in Norfolk and Suffolk following the outbreaks confirmed as at 4 November 2000 in accordance with the provisions of Article 9(1) of Directive 80/217/EEC on condition that the pigs in question:
(a) originate from a surveillance zone:
- where no outbreaks of classical swine fever have been detected in the previous 21 days and where at least 21 days have elapsed since the completion of the preliminary cleaning and disinfection of the infected holdings,
- established around a protection zone where serological tests for classical swine fever have been carried out in all pig holdings after the detection of classical swine fever, with negative results;
(b) originate from a holding:
- which has been subject to protection measures established in accordance with the provisions of Article 9(6)(f) and (g) of Directive 80/217/EEC,
- to which, following the epidemiological inquiry, no contact has been established with an infected holding,
- which has been subject to regular inspections by a veterinarian after the establishment of the zone. The inspection has included all pigs kept on the holding;
(c) have been included in a programme for monitoring body temperature and clinical examination. The programme has been carried out as given in Annex I(3);
(d) have been slaughtered within 12 hours of arrival at the slaughterhouse.
The United Kingdom shall ensure that a certificate as given in Annex II is issued in respect of meat referred to in Article 1.
Pigmeat which complies with the conditions of Article 1 and enters into intra-Community trade must be accompanied by the certificate referred to in Article 2.
The United Kingdom shall ensure that abattoirs designated to receive the pigs referred to in Article 1 do not, on the same day, accept pigs for slaughter other than the pigs in question.
The United Kingdom shall provide Member States and the Commission with:

32004R0556 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 556/2004 of 25 March 2004 fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 556/2004
of 25 March 2004
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade 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 within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third-country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third-country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(2), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(3), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(4) laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) With a view to enlargement on 1 May 2004 and to encourage the gradual alignment of prices in the new Member States on the Community level, all remaining refunds for exports to the new Member States should be abolished.
(10) The consolidation of the maximum quantities for export within the limits set in the WTO Agreement will be more binding on the accession of the new Member States. In order to ensure the satisfactory management and optimum use of the maximum quantities for export, steps should therefore be taken to reduce or abolish the refunds for certain destinations, in particular those located in or close to the geographical area of the Community where the level of prices for milk products no longer justify the present level of refund rates, despite the collection of import duty in some of those countries.
(11) The policy of some non-member countries is to prevent disturbance on the internal market by applying frontier measures. The refunds for certain milk products exported to those destinations should be differentiated in order to reduce the risk of such measures being applied.
(12) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1808/95 of 24 July 1995 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural, industrial and fisheries products and establishing the detailed provisions for adapting these quotas
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open each year, subject to certain conditions, Community tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty for a certain number of agricultural, industrial and fisheries products;
Whereas the Community has concluded with Canada an Agreement on newsprint (Order No 09.0015) in the form of an exchange of letters providing for the opening of a tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, 600 000 tonnes of which is reserved, in accordance with Article XIII of the GATT, until 30 November of each year for products from Canada alone; whereas that Agreement also provides for a mandatory 5 % increase in the share of the quota reserved for imports from Canada in the event of that share being exhausted before the end of a given year;
Whereas, under the Agreement with the United States on the Mediterranean preferences, citrus and pasta, the community has undertaken to suspend provisionally, within the limits of Community tariff quotas of appropriate volumes and varying duration, part of the customs duties applicable to certain fruits and fruit juices;
Whereas eligibility for these tariff quotas is, however, subject to presentation to the Community customs authorities of a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin certifying that the products comply with the specifications laid down;
Whereas by its Decision of 9 March 1993 the Commission approved the agreements negotiated between the Community and the United States of America on the permanent importation, free of custom duties and agricultural levies, of certain mixtures of malt sprouts and barley screenings, within the limit of Community tariff quotas;
Whereas, in the context of the Uruguay Round, it has been agreed to maintain the possibility for exports to the Community market of chemically pure fructose originating in countries not bound by a preference agreement with the Community;
Whereas the Community has, in the context of its external relations, undertaken to open each year, from 1 July to 31 December and 1 September to 31 August of the following year respectively, a Community tariff quota for 5 000 tonnes of frozen hake fillets presented in the form of industrial blocks with bones ('standard`) at a duty of 10 %, and, after various adjustments, another, at zero duty, for ECU 1 870 000 of value added for various forms of processing work carried out on textiles under the outward processing arrangements;
Whereas the Community has declared its readiness to open each year, for certain handmade products, a zero-duty Community tariff quota for an overall annual amount of ECU 10 540 000, with a maximum value of ECU 1 200 000 for each group of products covered; whereas eligibility for these Community tariff quotas is nevertheless subject to presentation to the Community customs authorities of a certificate issued by the recognized authorities of the country of manufacture certifying that the goods in question are handmade;
Whereas the Community has declared itself ready to open zero-rated annual Community tariff quotas for certain fabrics of silk, silk waste or cotton, woven on handlooms, up to an annual value (customs value) of ECU 2 316 000 for silk fabrics and ECU 2 069 000 for cotton fabrics; whereas eligibility for these Community tariff quotas is nevertheless subject to the presentation of a certificate of manufacture recognized by the relevant Community authorities, the presence of a stamp approved by those authorities at the beginning and end of each piece, and direct transport from the country of manufacture to the Community;
Whereas it is for the Community, in the performance of its international obligations, to open Community quotas for the products listed in Annexes I to IV to this Regulation; whereas all Community importers should be guaranteed equal and continuous access to the said quotas, and the rates of duty laid down for the quotas should be applied without interruption to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas there is, however, no reason why the efficiency of the common administration of these quotas should not be ensured by authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volumes the requisite quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method does, however, require close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas Council or Commission Decisions amending the combined nomenclature and Taric codes or adjusting the volume and rate of quotas result in no substantive changes; whereas, in the interests of simplification, provision should be made to empower the Commission, after consulting the Customs Code Committee, to make amendments and technical adjustments to the Annexes to this Regulation;
Whereas this Regulation must be applicable in the case of amendment of existing agreements within the framework of the GATT in so far as the amendments adopted specify the products eligible for tariff quotas, the volume, rate of duty and duration of quotas, and, where relevant, the respective terms of access; whereas provision should therefore be made to empower the Commission, after consulting the Customs Code Committee, to make the relevant amendments to the provisions of this Regulation, including the Annexes thereto;
Whereas quota volumes may not be carried over from one year to the next;
Whereas, however, the opening by means of a Regulation of tariff quotas for the agricultural products referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation must be restricted to 1995 in order to take into account the powers delegated to the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (1);
Whereas the tariff quotas laid down in these agreements are for an unspecified period; whereas, moreover, they lay down the conditions for access to tariff benefits under the tariff quotas in question; whereas certain quotas entail specific conditions, which should be laid down in the Annexes to this Regulation; whereas, therefore, in the interests of rationalizing the implementation of these measures, the provisions governing the tariff quotas for the products in question, which are set out in the different Regulations in force at present, should be gathered together in a single Regulation applicable to certain products, for an unspecified duration;
Whereas the Council has adopted Regulation (EC) No 3280/94 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural, industrial and fisheries products (2); whereas this Regulation completes and replaces the said Regulation,
1. The products listed in Annexes I, II, III, IV and V shall be eligible for reduced rates of duty under Community tariff quotas during the periods and according to the provisions set out in the said Regulation and Annexes.
2. For the calculation in national currencies of amounts expressed in ecus, Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3) shall apply.
1. Without prejudice to the Community's international obligations, the Member States may charge against the tariff quotas referred to in Annex I under Order Nos 09.0015 and 09.0017 other types of paper conforming, save as regards the criterion relating to watermarks, to the definition of newsprint given in Additional Note 1 to Chapter 48 of Part Two of the combined nomenclature and falling within CN code 4801 00 90.
2. From 30 November each year, any part of the quota volumes for newsprint referred to in Annex I not used on 29 November and unlikely to be used by 31 December may be used to cover imports of the products in question from Canada or another third country.
Where the bound quota of 600 000 tonnes from Canada has been exhausted and no autonomous quota of more than 30 000 tonnes has been opened for the remainder of the calendar year, an additional amount equivalent to 5 % of the bound quota shall be opened by 1 December at the latest, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10.
3. The variable component until 30 June 1995 and the specific duty as from 1 July 1995 laid down for chemically pure fructose, originating in a third country not bound by a trade preference agreement with the Community shall be suspended within the limits of a tariff quota bearing Order No 09.0091.
For the purposes of applying the tariff quota referred to in Annex III under Order No 09.2501:
(a) 'Processing work` shall mean:
-for points (a) and (c) of the third column of Annex III: bleaching, dyeing, printing, flocking, impregnating, dressing and other work which changes the appearance or quality of the goods, without however changing their nature,
- for point (b) of the third column of Annex III: twisting or throwing, cabling and texturing, whether or not combined with reeling, dyeing or other work which changes the appearance, quality or finish of the goods, without, however, changing their nature.
(b) 'Value added` shall mean the difference between the customs value, as defined in Community legislation on the subject, at the time of reimportation and the customs value which would be established if the products were reimported in the state in which they were exported.
1. Customs duties on the products referred to in Annex IV, Part A, shall be suspended within the limits of a tariff quota bearing Order No 09.0105, a customs value determined according to the provisions of the custom code and representing a volume equivalent to ECU 10 540 000, with a maximum of ECU 1 200 000 for each six-digit CN code.
2. Access to this quota shall, however, be restricted to products accompanied by a certificate recognized by the relevant authorities in the Community conforming to one of the models in Annex IVc, issued by a recognized authority of the country of manufacture listed in Annex IVd and certifying by the relevant Community authorities that the goods in question have been handmade.
1. The customs duties for the products referred to in Annex IV, Part B shall be suspended within the limits of the tariff quotas laid down in Part B.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1193/90 (2), and in particular Article 16a (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 July 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1889/87 (4), and in particular Article 6 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1370/89 (5) fixed the intervention threshold for nectarines in the 1989/90 marketing year at 45 800 tonnes; whereas, on the basis of information received from the Member States, the Commission determined in May 1990 that the threshold for the said marketing year had been exceeded by 37 264 tonnes; whereas, as a result of this and following the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1492/90 (6) reduced the basic and buying-in prices for nectarines in line with Article 16a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas, in the light of a correction transmitted by one of the Member States, the threshold for nectarines was in fact exceeded by 74 867 tonnes; whereas, in order to save the Community unjustified expenditure, and in accordance with Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, an immediate reduction of 20 % should be made in the basic and buying-in prices for nectarines fixed in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1194/90 (7) for the 1990/91 marketing year, notwithstanding the cut due to the agri-monetary changes; whereas this reduction in nectarine prices should apply throughout the Community, with the exception of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The basic and buying-in prices for nectarines fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1194/90 are hereby reduced by 20,14 % to give the following amounts in ecus per 100 kg net:
- basic price
- Community of Ten: 43,46,
- Spain: 43,46;

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for apples will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for apples after 11 December 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
Applications for system B export licences for apples submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 11 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are hereby rejected.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 13 June 2013
amending Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU on emergency measures regarding unauthorised genetically modified rice in rice products originating from China
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/287/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU of 22 December 2011 on emergency measures regarding unauthorised genetically modified rice in rice products originating from China and repealing Decision 2008/289/EC (2) provides for a review of the emergency measures provided therein in order to assess whether they continue to be necessary and adapted to the objective pursued.
(2) Since the entry into force of Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU, there have been 56 notifications from Member States to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 concerning unauthorised genetically modified rice in rice products originating from China. Under those conditions, the emergency measures set out in Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU have to be maintained in order to prevent the placing on the market of genetically modified food and feed which is not covered by an authorisation granted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).
(3) From the experience gained by Member States in Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU and from information collected from stakeholders by the Commission, it appears also necessary to adjust some of the requirements set out in that Decision.
(4) In particular, official controls carried out by the Member States have shown that other products which may contain rice should be added to the scope of Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU. The possibility for the competent authorities to carry out physical checks on other products should also be provided.
(5) In addition, some Member States have highlighted during the review process that the requirements set out in Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU as regards the prior notification of consignments are not fully aligned with the requirements provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin and amending Decision 2006/504/EC (4) and, where applicable, in Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 of 22 January 2004 laying down procedures for veterinary checks at Community border inspection posts on products imported from third countries (5). Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides the obligation for the feed and food business operators to complete Part 1 of the common entry document detailed in its Annex II when importing feed and food of non-animal origin covered in that Regulation. Similarly, Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 provides for an obligation to complete the common veterinary entry document detailed in its Annex III when importing products falling under the scope of that Regulation. In view of improving the efficiency of official controls, it is therefore appropriate to align the requirements on prior notification set out in Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU with those set in Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 and, where applicable, in Regulation (EC) No 136/2004. To avoid misunderstanding, it should also be detailed in that Decision that prior notifications should be addressed to the competent authorities at the Border Inspection Post or at the designated point of entry.
(6) Sampling methodologies play a crucial role in obtaining representative and comparable results. Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU defines a common protocol for sampling and analysis for the control of the absence of genetically modified rice. Experience to date has shown that the majority of imports covered by the Decision are processed products. In such cases the presence of unauthorised genetically modified rice is expected to be distributed homogenously throughout the lot. In the light of those elements, it appears necessary to add an additional sampling protocol more appropriate for such products.
(7) It is necessary to provide a new transitional period for the application of the new provisions contained in this Decision in order to let food and feed business operators time to adapt to the new situation created by this Decision.
(8) The situation concerning the possible contamination of rice products with unauthorised genetically modified rice lines should continue to be reviewed regularly in order to assess whether the measures provided for in this Decision are still necessary and adapted to the objective pursued and to ensure that it takes into account new scientific and technical developments.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Implementing Decision 2011/884/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) Article 3 is replaced by the following:
(3) paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 4 are replaced by the following:
(4) Article 5 is replaced by the following:
(a) complete the relevant part of Part II of the CED or, where appropriate, the CVED; and the responsible official of the competent authority shall stamp and sign the original of that document.
(b) make and retain a copy of the signed and stamped CED or, where appropriate, CVED.
(5) Article 9 is replaced by the following:
(6) Annexes I and II are amended in accordance with Annexes I and II to this Decision.
Article 10 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 10
Review of the measure
The measures provided for in this Decision shall be reviewed regularly to take into account, where appropriate, new developments as regards the presence of unauthorised GMOs in products originating in or consigned from China, or as regards scientific and technical progress in the methods for sampling and analysis provided in this Decision.’

Whereas in accordance with Commission Decision 93/460/EEC (6) a contract has been concluded between the European Community and the Bundesgesundheitsamt now renamed Bundesinstitut fuer gesundheitlichen Verbraucherschutz und Veterinaermedizin; whereas this contract has been concluded for one year in the first instance; whereas this contract should be extended to enable the reference laboratory to continue to perform the functions and tasks referred to in Decision 89/187/EEC;
Whereas the Community financial aid is provided for an additional one-year period; whereas this will be reviewed, with a view to an extension, before the end of the said period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Community shall grant the Bundesinstitut fuer gesundheitlichen Verbraucherschutz und Veterinaermedizin previously known as Bundesgesundheitsamt, a reference laboratory designated in Article 1 of Decision 91/664/EEC, additional financial aid amounting to not more than ECU 400 000.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 79/533/EEC of 17 May 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the coupling device and the reverse of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Directive 79/533/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided for in Council Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors, as replaced by Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units (5), and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of agricultural or forestry tractors as regards the coupling device and the reverse. Those technical prescriptions concern the approximation of the laws of the Member States to enable the EC type-approval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect of each type of tractor. Consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 2003/37/EC relating to agricultural and forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units, apply to this Directive.
(3) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex III, Part B,
1. For the purposes of this Directive ‘tractor’ (agricultural or forestry) means any motor vehicle, fitted with wheels or endless tracks and having at least two axles, the main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load and passengers.
2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in paragraph 1 which are equipped with pneumatic tyres and have a maximum design speed of between 6 and 40 km/h.
1. No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval, to issue the document provided for in Article 2(u) of Directive 2003/37/EC, or to grant national type-approval in respect of a type of tractor on grounds relating to the coupling device or to the reverse if these satisfy the requirements set out in Annexes I and II.
2. Member States may not issue the document provided for in Article 2(u) of Directive 2003/37/EC in respect of a type of tractor which does not meet the requirements of this Directive.
Member States may refuse to grant national type-approval in respect of a type of tractor which does not meet the requirements of this Directive.
No Member State may refuse the registration or prohibit the sale, initial entry into service or use of tractors on grounds relating to the coupling device or to the reverse, if these satisfy the requirements set out in Annexes I and II.
The amendments necessary to adapt to technical progress the requirements of Annexes I and II shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 20(3) of Directive 2003/37/EC.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 796/2013
of 21 August 2013
concerning the denial of authorisation of the substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as a feed additive
(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 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 or denying such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) The substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on all animal species as part of the group ‘Flavouring and appetising substances — All natural products and corresponding synthetic products’. That substance was subsequently entered in the European Union Register of Feed Additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, with CAS number 2530-10-1 and Flavis number 15.024.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of this substance as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene was also included in the list of flavouring substances in Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91, Regulations (EC) No 2232/96 and (EC) No 110/2008 and Directive 2000/13/EC (3), as a flavouring substance under evaluation for which additional scientific data had to be submitted. Such data was submitted.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 15 May 2013 (4) about the use of this substance as a flavouring substance in food that this substance is mutagenic in vitro and in vivo and that its use as a flavouring substance in food raises a safety concern.
(6) This assessment indicates that 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene is very likely to be mutagenic also for animals consuming feed containing this substance as a sensory additive. Consequently, it has not been established that this substance does not have an adverse effect on animal health, when used as a feed additive under the proposed conditions of use.
(7) The conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are therefore not satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as a feed additive should be denied.
(8) Since further use of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as a feed additive may cause a risk to animal health, it should be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible.
(9) Taking into account practical reasons, a transitional period should be laid down to address the situation of existing stocks of feed containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene already in the market before the entry into force of this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as an additive in animal nutrition is denied.
Existing stocks of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene and premixtures containing it shall be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible and at the latest by 11 October 2013. Compound feed produced containing 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may be used up until stocks are exhausted and at the latest by 11 October 2013.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

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 (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 17 April 2002 Archer Daniels Midland Company (hereafter ‘ADM’) made a request to the competent authorities of the Netherlands to place diacylglycerol oil of plant origin on the market as a novel food for use in cooking oils, fat spreads, salad dressings, mayonnaise, drinks presented as a replacement for one or more meals of the daily diet, bakery products and yoghurt type products.
(2) On 20 December 2002 the competent authorities of the Netherlands issued their initial assessment report. In that report they came to the conclusion that the use of diacylglycerol oil of plant origin is safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 21 January 2003.
(4) Within the 60 day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in its opinion on an application from ADM for approval of diacylglycerol oil (EnovaTM oil) of 2 December 2004 (2), came to the conclusion that the oil is safe for human consumption.
(6) With respect to the content of trans fatty acids EFSA recommended that it should be reduced to the level in the conventional oils of plant origin that the novel oil is intended to replace, in order for the oil not to be nutritionally disadvantageous to the consumer.
(7) As regards drinks presented as a replacement for one or more meals of the daily diet Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (3) applies.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Diacylglycerol oil of plant origin as specified in the Annex, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food for use in cooking oils, fat spreads, salad dressings, mayonnaise, drinks presented as a replacement for one or more meals of the daily diet, bakery products and yoghurt type products.

Whereas, by letter dated 11 August 1980, the United Kingdom Government has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Telelab automatic tissue pulverizer", to be used for the examination of hormone-dependent cancer and in particular for the disintegration of the frozen tissue, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 January 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an automatic pulverizer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it The character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "Telelab automatic tissue pulverizer", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom Government of 11 August 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3) Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (2) stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the poultrymeat listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 must bear the health mark as laid down in Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (3).
(4) The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43, in conjunction with point (a) of Article 218(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Union negotiated with the Republic of Mauritius a Fisheries Partnership Agreement providing EU vessels with fishing opportunities in the waters over which the Republic of Mauritius exercises its sovereignty or jurisdiction.
(2) The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius (‘the Fisheries Partnership Agreement’) was signed in accordance with Council Decision 2012/670/EU of 9 October 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius (1).

of 22 October 2001

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the olive yields and olive oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are to be fixed by homogeneous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States. The production zones were designated in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2138/97(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1979/2001(6). Taking into account the figures received, the yields should be fixed as laid down in the Annex.
(2) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/2001(8), lays down a method for estimating yields in homogenous zones that takes account of the overall statistical results obtained on the basis of samples at the level of larger regional areas. The statistical results for France, in view of its modest production levels, are obtained on the basis of a single regional area and a small sample that does not permit an accurate national figure to be obtained. Adjustment of the yields of the homogenous zones on the basis of the statistical results as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 produced clearly inconsistent values for the 2000/01 marketing year. The yields of the homogenous zones in France should therefore be fixed without making the adjustment concerned.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 2000/01 marketing year, the olive yields and oil yields shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., other than fruits and seeds, originating in non-European countries, must not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, Directive 2000/29/EC permits derogations from this rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of introduction of harmful organisms.
(2) Commission Decision 2002/499/EC (2), provides for a derogation for the importation of plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., other than fruits and seeds, originating in the Republic of Korea, subject to specific conditions.
(3) The United Kingdom has asked for an extension of that derogation.
(4) The situation justifying that derogation remains unchanged and the derogation should therefore continue to apply.
(5) Decision 2002/499/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2002/499/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following text:

Whereas, under Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, the threshold price for husked rice calculated for Rotterdam must be fixed in such a way that, on the Duisburg market, the selling price for imported husked rice corresponds to the target price; whereas this aim is attained when the components referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of the said Article are deducted from the target price;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (3) of the said Regulation, the threshold prices for milled rice are calculated by adjusting the threshold price for husked rice, account being taken of the monthly increases to which it is subject, on the basis of the conversion rates, processing costs and the value of by-products and by increasing the amounts thus obtained by an amount for the protection of the industry;

31989R3709 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 3709/89 of 4 December 1989 laying down general rules for implementing the act of accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the compensation mechanism on imports of fruit and vegetables originating in Spain
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3709/89
of 4 December 1989
laying down general rules for implementing the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the compensation mechanism on imports of fruit and vegetables originating in Spain
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the Commission proposal,
Whereas Article 152 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, hereinafter referred to as the 'Act of Accession' provides that from the beginning of the second phase of the transitional period for Spain a compensation mechanism is to be introduced on imports into the Community, as constituted on 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Community of Ten', for fruit and vegetables for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries;
Whereas among the measures necessary for implementing the mechanism, rules should be laid down in particular for recording the producer prices for products or varieties representative of the production marketed for the purpose of calculating the Community offer price; whereas it should be borne in mind that the prices listed concern products packaged for transportation;
Whereas for the purpose of determining the Spanish offer price calculated each marketing day on the basis of the representative rates recorded, the rates to be regarded as such should be defined; whereas in order to obtain a realistic overview of the market situation, the rates to be used should relate to a significant proportion of the goods presented on the markets; whereas consequently the nature of the rates and the quantity of products to be taken into consideration for calculating the Spanish offer price should be specified;
Whereas where the offer price of the Spanish product is lower than the Community offer price, compensation is to be achieved by levying a correcting amount in accordance with Article 152 (2) (d) and (e) of the Act of Accession; whereas in order to enable the compensation mechanism to operate satisfactorily under sound conditions and to ensure that Spanish products are not subject to more stringent arrangements than those applying to products originating in third countries, provision should be made for the fixing or discontinuance of a correcting amount to be based on the prices recorded for several consecutive market days, and the method to be applied should be defined,
1. The Community offer price, referred to in Article 152 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, applicable to the whole Community of Ten, shall be fixed for each marketing year or for each of the periods into which the year may be subdivided on the basis of seasonal price variations. It shall be fixed before the beginning of the marketing year. However, for the period from 1 January 1990 to the end of the 1989/90 marketing year, it shall be fixed before 1 January 1990.
2. The producer prices to be used for determining the Community offer price shall be those for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, for the products or varieties which represent a considerable proportion of production marketed for part of the year or throughout the year and which fall within quality class I and satisfy specified requirements as regards market preparation.
When the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on the market shall be disregarded. Moreover, if the average price for a Member State shows excessive variations with respect to normal price fluctuations, it shall not be taken into account.
3. The transport costs referred to in Article 152 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession may be calculated on a flat-rate basis.
For the purpose of calculating the Spanish offer price referred to in Article 152 (2) (b) of the Act of Accession, the Commission shall, on the basis of information supplied by Member States or data gathered by the Commission itself, regularly follow, for a product with defined commercial characteristics, the trend of average prices for products coming from Spain on all the representative markets of the Community of Ten for which prices are available, namely the average prices on the most representative import markets of the Member States and significant prices recorded on other markets for large quantities of those products or, if there are no prices on the most representative markets, significant prices recorded on other markets for large quantities.
The following shall be regarded as representative:
- the prices of class I products, provided that the quantities of this class represent not less than 50 % of the total quantity marketed,
- the prices of class I products, together with, where the products in this class represent less than 50 % of the total quantity, the prices, used as they stand, of class II products in respect of the quantity that will cover 50 % of the total quantity marketed,
- the prices, used as they stand, of class II products, in cases where there are no class I products, unless a decision is taken to multiply them by a conversion factor if, by reason of production conditions in Spain, such products have not, because of their quality, been normally or traditionally marketed in class I. Where the prices are multiplied by a conversion factor, customs duties shall first be deducted.
For the purpose of implementing Article 152 (2) (d) and (e) of the Act of Accession, the following procedure shall be applied:
1. If the Spanish offer price remains at least ECU 0,6 below the Community offer price for two consecutive market days, a correcting amount shall be introduced, save in exceptional circumstances. This amount shall be equal to the difference between the Community offer price and the arithmetic mean of the last two Spanish offer prices available.
2. Where the Spanish offer price recorded during a period of five to seven consecutive market days is alternatively higher and lower than the Community offer price, and where Spanish offer prices higher or lower than the Community offer price are recorded during two consecutive market days without the provision contained in paragraph 1 being applied, a correcting amount shall be introduced, save in exceptional circumstances, in derogation from that paragraph and under the conditions laid down below:
- the correcting amount shall be introduced where three Spanish offer prices lower than the Community offer price are recorded and where one of the Spanish offer prices is at least ECU 0,6 lower than the Community offer price,
- the correcting amount shall be equal to the difference between the Community offer price and the last available Spanish offer price at least ECU 0,6 lower than the Community offer price.
3. The correcting amount introduced pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be the same for all Member States of the Community of Ten and shall be levied in addition to the customs duties in force.
4. The correcting amount introduced in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not be adjusted unless a change in the factors used in its calculation gives rise from the time of its actual application, during three consecutive market days, to an adjustment in its amount of more than ECU 1,2.
A decision to abolish the correcting amount shall be taken where, from the time of actual application of that amount, the Spanish offer prices for two consecutive market days are at least equal to the Community offer price or if there are no prices during six consecutive working days. Such decision shall be taken also if the application of the first subparagraph results in a correcting amount of zero.
5. The correcting amount introduced in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be levied during six days.
It shall be abolished prior to the expiry of that period only if:
- the application of paragraph 1 results in the fixing of a new higher correcting amount, or
- from the time of actual application of the correcting amount the Spanish offer prices during three consecutive market days are at least equal to the Community offer price.
1. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and the Community offer price shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (1).
2. A decision to introduce, adjust or abolish the correcting amount shall be taken by the Commission.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 82/97 (2), and in particular Article 249 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 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 89/97 (4), and in particular Article 362 thereof,
Whereas under Article 362 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, use of the comprehensive guarantee may be temporarily prohibited at the request of one or more Member States for goods presenting an increased risk of fraud;
Whereas Commission Decision 96/743/EC of 9 December 1996 on the adoption of specific measures to temporarily prohibit the use of the comprehensive guarantee for certain external Community transit operations (5) extended the temporary ban on use of the said guarantee in such operations in respect of cigarettes of HS subheading 2402 20 when the quantity transported exceeds 35 000 pieces and certain goods listed in the annex to the Decision which present an increased risk of fraud;
Whereas following a review of the product coverage of the above Decision it has been found that some of the listed goods, namely cheese and curd, wheat, meslin and rye, no longer present a high enough risk of fraud to justify the ban;
Whereas, however, other listed goods continue to present such a risk;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The annex to Decision 96/743/EC is replaced by the annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 17(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003, and in particular Article 21(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2000/680/EC of 30 October 2000 approving contingency plans for the control of avian influenza and of Newcastle disease(4) has been substantially amended(5). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.
(2) Avian influenza and Newcastle disease are diseases which both affect avian species.
(3) The criteria to be applied when drawing up contingency plans for the control of avian influenza and for Newcastle disease are laid down in Annex VI to Directive 92/40/EEC and in Annex VII to Directive 92/66/EEC, respectively.
(4) The criteria for contingency plans listed in those two annexes are identical.
(5) Disease control measures to be applied in the event of outbreaks of avian influenza or Newcastle disease follow the same principles and involve poultry producers, operators of slaughterhouses and rendering plants, veterinarians in the field and diagnostic laboratories. It is therefore possible to prepare a contingency plan which covers at the same time avian influenza and Newcastle disease.
(6) Member States have submitted for approval national contingency plans which list and specify the measures to be carried out in the event of outbreaks of avian influenza and Newcastle disease.
(7) After examination these plans fulfil the criteria laid down and permit the desired objective to be attained subject to an effective implementation.
(8) Member States shall carry out scenario studies and simulation exercises in order to ensure the effectiveness of the plans.
(9) Member States have the obligation to update the plans on a regular basis.
(10) The measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The contingency plans for the control of avian influenza and for Newcastle disease submitted by the Member States listed in Annex I are approved.
Decision 2000/680/EC is repealed.
References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 4(8), Article 6(7), Article 10(3), Article 11(5) and Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Calculation of the minimum and maximum number of heifers expressed as a percentage as laid down respectively in the first, second and third subparagraphs of Article 6(2) and in the fourth subparagraph of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 may produce a result which is not a whole number. Provision should therefore be made for rounding-off so that a whole number of animals is obtained.
(2) Article 41 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 of 28 October 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal as regards premium schemes(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1458/2001(4), lays down certain rules on the payment of advances. Continuing low demand resulting from consumers' concerns about the consequences of the diseases which have come to light over the past few months has produced a difficult situation on the beef and veal market, so to enable producers to continue to meet their financial commitments an increase in the amount of the advances for the special premium, suckler-cow premium, slaughter premium and additional payments should be authorised.
(3) In view of the way in which events are developing this Regulation should enter into force immediately.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 is amended as follows:
1. The following Article 29a is inserted: "Article 29a
Rounding-off of animal numbers
If the calculation of the minimum and maximum number of heifers expressed as a percentage as laid down respectively in the first, second and third subparagraphs of Article 6(2) and in the fourth subparagraph of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 produces a result which is not a whole number, that number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number if it is less than 0,5 and up to the nearest whole number if it is 0,5 or more."
2. In Article 41(1), the final subparagraph is replaced by the following: "However, as regards the 2000 and 2001 calendar years, an advance equal to 80 % of the special premium, the suckler cow premium, the slaughter premium and the additional payments may be paid."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, Article 1(1) shall apply from 1 January 2002.

of 7 March 2007
repealing Decision 2005/317/EC on emergency measures regarding the non-authorised genetically modified organism Bt10 in maize products
(notified under document number C(2007) 674)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/157/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect human health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States concerned.
(2) After being informed by the authorities of the United States of America that maize products contaminated with the unauthorised genetically modified maize called Bt10 were likely to have been exported to the Community and in view of the European Food Safety Authority statement concluding that in the absence of sufficiently comprehensive data it was impossible to carry out a full risk assessment of Bt10 in accordance with the standards laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the Commission adopted on 18 April 2005 Decision 2005/317/EC on emergency measures regarding the non-authorised genetically modified organism Bt10 in maize products (3).
(3) Decision 2005/317/EC requires that consignments of maize products originating from the United States of America and likely to be contaminated (namely corn gluten feed and brewers grains for feed use) may be placed on the market only if an analytical report demonstrating that the products are not contaminated with genetically modified maize Bt10 is provided.
(4) In order to ensure proportionality and to avoid any restriction of trade going beyond what is required to protect human health, animal health or the environment, Decision 2005/317/EC contains a review clause to assess whether the emergency measures were still necessary.
(5) The measures were reviewed twice in October 2005 and March 2006 and, in consultation with the Member States the Commission concluded that they should remain in place until further information on exports of maize products likely to be contaminated with Bt10 was available.
(6) According to the analytical data provided by Syngenta, the company that developed the genetically modified maize Bt10, the tests completed in the United States and conducted in accordance with a test method validated by Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and verified by the United States Department of Agriculture show that no sample has tested positive to the presence of Bt10 since early November 2005. The appropriateness of the detection method has been further analysed and recently confirmed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
(7) On the basis of the information recently provided to the Commission by the United States authorities a series of actions have been taken by Syngenta with the involvement of the United States Department of Agriculture to ensure that Bt10 will not be propagated in the company's germoplasm and/or distributed in the commercial production pathway.
(8) Since the entry into force of Decision 2005/317/EC only one case of Bt10 entering Community territory has been registered, on 24 May 2005. A shipment of maize products contaminated by Bt10 left the United States before the availability of the analytical results of the testing and was notified by the importer prior to the arrival of the vessel to Ireland. The placing on the market of the contaminated products was thus prevented.
(9) Apart from this specific case, no finding of Bt10 has been reported by Member States on the basis of the controls carried out by national competent authorities.
(10) On the basis of this information it can be concluded that it is no longer necessary to keep in place the compulsory certification requirement. It is therefore appropriate to repeal Decision 2005/317/EC.
(11) It is nevertheless appropriate that Member States keep monitoring, for a further period of six months, on the basis of a proper level of random testing, whether maize products contaminated by Bt 10 are still present on the market. Positive (unfavourable) results shall be rapidly communicated through the Rapid Alert System for food and feed in which case the Commission will evaluate whether further action is required.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/317/EC is repealed.
For a further period of six months Member States shall ensure an appropriate level of random testing to verify the absence of the genetically modified maize Bt10 in the following products originating from the United States of America:
— corn gluten feed containing or produced from genetically modified maize within CN code 2309 90 20,
— brewers grains containing or produced from genetically modified maize within CN code 2303 30 00.
Positive (unfavourable) results shall be rapidly communicated through the Rapid Alert System for food and feed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
