32003R1317 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1317/2003 of 24 July 2003 fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1317/2003
of 24 July 2003
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for 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(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(10), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(11), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(12), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(13), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(15) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(16), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(10) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(11) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 July 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1589/96 (2), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93 (4), lays down in particular detailed rules where the amount of aid is fixed at a flat rate in advance;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of 28 November 1990 on special conditions fot the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 40/96 (6), lays down in particular the minimum quantities per contract;
Whereas the application of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 may result in a decision to grant private storage aid; whereas that Article provides for the application of these measures on the basis of the situation of each quotation zone; whereas, in view of the particularly difficult market situation in Sweden, it has been judged opportune to initiate such a procedure;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goat Meat,
1. Subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90, applications may be submitted in Sweden between 16 November and 11 December 1998 for aid for the private storage of carcases and half-carcases of lamb within the limits of 200 tonnes.

31996L0099 | Council Directive 96/99/EC of 30 December 1996 amending Directive 92/12/EEC on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 96/99/EC of 30 December 1996 amending Directive 92/12/EEC on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 99 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Economic and Social Committee, having been consulted on the Commission proposal, did not deliver its opinion within the time limit set by the Council pursuant to Article 198 of the Treaty; whereas it is appropriate to disregard the fact that the said Committee delivered no opinion;
Whereas Directive 92/12/EEC (2) lays down the general arrangements for the holding, movement and monitoring of products subject to excise duty;
Whereas Article 26 of that Directive provides a derogation permitting Denmark to apply excise duty to alcoholic drinks and tobacco products exceeding certain quantities when they are brought into its territory by private individuals who import them for their own use;
Whereas the 1994 Act of Accession provides, also by reference to Article 26 of Directive 92/12/EEC, that Sweden and Finland may apply excise duty to a more extensive list of alcohol drinks and tobacco products under the same conditions;
Whereas the derogations so provided for were accorded because in a Europe without frontiers where excise rates vary widely, an immediate total removal of excise limitations would have caused an unacceptable diversion of trade and revenue and distortion of competition in the Member States concerned, which have traditionally applied high excise duties to the products concerned both as an important source of revenue and for health and social reasons;
Whereas the derogations were granted until 31 December 1996 and subject to a review mechanism similar to that laid down in Article 28l of Directive 77/388/EEC (3);
Whereas, however, on 31 December 1996, minimum rates of excise duty applied throughout the Community will be lower than was expected when the derogations were accorded, so that their abolition on that date will cause greater problems than had been envisaged;
Whereas, therefore, it is appropriate to provide further time for adjustment in Denmark, Finland and Sweden by extending the date laid down in Article 26 of Directive 92/12/EEC;
Whereas, however, the provisions of Article 26 represent a derogation from a fundamental principle of the internal market, namely the right of its citizens to transport goods purchased for their own use throughout the Community without incurring liability to new duty charges, so that it is necessary to limit its effects as far as possible;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate, in the case of Denmark and Finland, to provide, on the one hand, for the gradual liberalization of the quantitative restrictions which may be applied prior to their complete removal on 31 December 2003 and, on the other hand, to reduce from 36 hours to 24 hours the qualifying period which requires a minimum stay outside the territory of the Member State concerned before residents may benefit from any allowance;
Whereas, the Member States concerned may decide upon the precise details of the liberalization process in the light of all relevant factors;
Whereas, however, the process should be subject to monitoring not later than 30 June 2000;
Whereas, in the case of Sweden, it is appropriate to authorize the continuation of the present restrictions until 30 June 2000 and subject to a review mechanism similar to that laid down in Article 28l of Directive 77/388/EEC;
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3925/91 of 19 December 1991 concerning the elimination of controls and formalities applicable to the cabin and hold baggage of persons taking an intra-Community flight and the baggage of persons making an intra-Community sea-crossing (4) states that its enforcement is without prejudice to checks linked to prohibitions or restrictions laid down by the Member States, provided that they are compatible with the three Treaties establishing the European Communities; whereas, in that context, the verifications necessary for the enforcement of the quantitative restrictions referred to in Article 26 of Directive 92/12/EEC must be considered to be such controls and, as such, to be compatible with Community legislation,
Article 26 of Directive 92/12/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 26
1. Without prejudice to Article 8, until 31 December 2003, Denmark and Finland shall be authorized to apply the specific arrangements laid down in the second and third subparagraphs to certain alcoholic drinks and tobacco products brought into their territory by private individuals for their own use.
From 1 January 1997, Denmark and Finland shall be authorized to continue to apply the same restrictions on the quantity of goods which may be brought into their territories without further excise duty payment as they applied on 31 December 1996. Those restrictions shall be progressively removed by these Member States.
Where such goods are imported by persons resident within their territories, Denmark and Finland shall be authorized to restrict the grant of admission without payment of duty to persons who have been absent from their territory for a period of more than 24 hours.
2. Before 30 June 2000, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the operation of paragraph 1.
3. Without prejudice to Article 8, from 1 January 1997 to 30 June 2000, and subject to a review mechanism similar to that laid down in Article 28l of Directive 77/388/EEC, Sweden shall be authorized to continue to apply the same restrictions as it applied on 31 December 1996 on the quantity of alcoholic drinks and tobacco products which may be brought into Swedish territory without further excise duty payment by private individuals for their own use.
4. Denmark, Finland and Sweden may collect excise duties and carry out the necessary checks with respect to the products covered by this Article.`
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 January 1997. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 1997.

Whereas the quantitative restrictions applicable to textile and clothing imports originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and North Korea are listed in Annexes III (B), IV and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94;
Whereas on 16 April 1997 the Commission initialled an agreement on trade in textile products with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia providing, inter alia, for the elimination as of 1 January 1997 of the quantitative restrictions applicable on imports of textiles and clothing products into the Community originating in that country;
Whereas the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia must be excluded from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 from the date of the provisional application of the agreement;
Whereas the Commission has received requests from Member States to increase certain quantitative restrictions for imports of textile products originating in North Korea in order to satisfy certain market requirements;
Whereas it is necessary to strike a certain balance between providing the requisite protection for the relevant sectors of the Community industry concerned and maintaining an acceptable level of trade with the republics of former Yugoslavia and North Korea, bearing in mind the various interests of the parties concerned;
Whereas on analysis of the situation in the Community industry concerned shows that the effective increase of the quantitative restrictions applied in respect of the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia that will result from the elimination of the quantitative restrictions applied so far on imports into the Community on textile products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as well as the increase of the level of certain quotas for North Korea will not prejudice the abovementioned objective;
Whereas the Commission therefore considers it appropriate to adapt accordingly the level of some of the quantitative restrictions applied in respect of North Korea, taking also into account the request received from the Member States;
Whereas Annexes III (B), IV and VI to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be adapted;
Whereas these measures are in conformity with the opinion of the Textiles Committee,
Annexes III (B), IV and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 are hereby replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1997.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/15/EU
of 8 March 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include fluopicolide as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 7 May 2004 an application from Bayer CropScience for the inclusion of the active substance fluopicolide in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2005/778/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) For that active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 12 December 2005.
(3) The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for fluopicolide on 4 June 2009 (3). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 27 November 2009 in the format of the Commission review report for fluopicolide.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing fluopicolide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include fluopicolide in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that the inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. It is appropriate, as regards fluopicolide, to require that the notifier submits further information on the relevance of the metabolite M15 for groundwater.
(6) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing fluopicolide to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing fluopicolide as active substance by 30 November 2010. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to fluopicolide are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning the active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(2) of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing fluopicolide as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2010 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning fluopicolide. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing fluopicolide as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2011 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing fluopicolide as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2011 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2010.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for pigmeat (3) provides in its Article 4 (1) that placing in storage must be completed not later than 28 days after the date of conclusion of the contract;
Whereas several traders in Denmark have for certain contracts on aid for private storage applied for in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 650/93 (4) not been able to respect the time limit of 28 days due to a strike in Danish slaughterhouses; whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix a new date for the ending of placing in storage in order to avoid to lose the security given by the trader;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
By way of derogation from Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90, the placing in storage of the products subject of contracts on aid for private storage concluded in Denmark between the 5 and 23 April 1993 must be finished at the latest on 9 July 1993.

Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) gives authorization, subject to certain conditions, for the processing of grapes and grape musts to obtain quality wines psr to take place outside the specified region in question;
Whereas adequate provision for the control of those products was made by Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1698/70 (3) of 25 August 1970 on certain derogations concerning the production of quality wines in specified regions;
Whereas the control provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1769/72 (4) of 26 July 1972 drawing up accompanying documents and determining the obligations of wine producers and traders other than retailers, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 198/73 (5), are at least as effective ; whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1698/70 should therefore be amended;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 of 27 July 1994 establishing a quota system in relation to the production of potato starch(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 962/2002(4), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas:
(1) Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 set out the methodology and the data transmission programme for the economic accounts for agriculture in the Community (EAA).

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 288/2009 (2), Member States applying for the aid referred to in Article 103ga(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 for a period running from 1 August to 31 July should notify the Commission of their strategy by 31 January of the year in which that period starts.
(2) Following the Commission proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (3), and the political agreement reached by the co-legislators on the future common agricultural policy (CAP), important elements of the School Fruit Scheme will change as from 1 January 2014, notably the total amount of aid and the new co-financing rates.
(3) The application of the new elements of the School Fruit Scheme from 1 January 2014 will make it impossible for Member States to adapt their strategies to the new framework before the deadline for notification of the strategy.
(4) Therefore, Member States wishing to implement a School Fruit Scheme for the school year 2014/2015 should be allowed, as a transitional measure, to notify the Commission of their strategy and aid application for the period running from 1 August 2014 to 31 July 2015 until 30 April 2014.
(5) Similarly, in view of the changes to be introduced by the new CAP in the global budget for the School Fruit Scheme, the deadline for the Commission to decide on the final allocation of the aid for the period running from 1 August 2014 to 31 July 2015 laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 288/2009 should be extended until 30 June 2014.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. Pursuant to Directive 96/23/EC, the inclusion and retention on the lists of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and primary products of animal origin covered by that Directive, are subject to the submission by the third countries concerned of a plan setting out the guarantees which they offer as regards the monitoring of the groups of residues and substances referred to in that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/432/EC of 29 April 2004 on the approval of residue monitoring plans submitted by third countries in accordance with Council Directive 96/23/EC (2) lists those third countries which have submitted a residue monitoring plan, setting out the guarantees offered by them in compliance with the requirements of that Directive.
(3) New Caledonia and Tanzania have submitted residue monitoring plans to the Commission for animals and products of animal origin not currently listed in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC. The evaluation of those plans and the additional information obtained by the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring in those third countries for the animals and products concerned. The relevant animals and products of animal origin should therefore be included in the list for those third countries in the Annex to that Decision.
(4) Costa Rica, which is currently not listed in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC, has submitted a residue monitoring plan to the Commission concerning aquaculture products. The evaluation of that plan and the additional information obtained by the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring for aquaculture products in that third country. Aquaculture products should therefore be included in the list for Costa Rica in the Annex to that Decision.
(5) South Africa was deleted with regards to several animals and products of animal origin from the Annex of Decision 2004/432/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/105/EC (3). However, after providing substantial guarantees, South Africa maintained its entries concerning wild and farmed game, including ostriches. Whereas that third country has demonstrated that the residue monitoring plan 2007/08 is being implemented for ostriches, it has again failed to provide evidence of the implementation of the plan for wild and farmed game, other than ostriches. The entries for the relevant animals and products of animal origin should therefore be deleted from the list for South Africa in the Annex to that Decision.
(6) A Food and Veterinary Office inspection to the Republic of Moldova has revealed serious deficiencies concerning the implementation of the residue monitoring plan for honey. The relevant entry for the Republic of Moldova should therefore be deleted from the list in the annex to that Decision. The authorities of that third country have been informed accordingly.
(7) A transitional period should be laid down to cover consignments of animals and products of animal origin originating in South Africa and the Republic of Moldova which were dispatched from those third countries for the Community before the date of application of this Decision, to cover the time needed for their arrival in the Community and avoid any disruption to trade.
(8) Decision 2004/432/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,
The Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
The amendments to the list in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC by the present Decision shall not apply to consignments of animals and products of animal origin from South Africa and the Republic of Moldova where the importer of such animals and products can demonstrate that they had been dispatched respectively from South Africa and the Republic of Moldova and were en route to the Community before the date of application of the present Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 June 2008.

Whereas it is necessary to determine the consignors and consignments eligible for the special temporary compensation in 1994 and the essential information which must appear on application for that compensation;
Whereas the additional costs arising from the need to avoid the former Yugoslavia can reasonably be regarded as being the same for the various means of transport and the various destinations concerned;
Whereas applications for the special temporary compensation should be checked and serious irregularities should be penalized;
Whereas it is necessary to specify the information to be sent to the Commission by the competent Greek authority and the relevant time limit;
Whereas the provisions in this Regulation must be applied with effect from 1 January 1994;

| COMMISSION DECISION of 18 July 1969 on the French system of aid for research and the reorganization of production and distribution in the textile industry (Only the French text is authentic) (69/266/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2), and Article 93 (3) thereof;
Whereas by Decree No 65-1163 of 24 December 1965 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 31 December 1965) the French Republic introduced, with effect from 1 January 1966, a parafiscal charge for the purpose of encouraging research and the reorganization of production and distribution in the textile industry;
Whereas this charge the rate of which was fixed at 0.2 % by Order of 24 December 1965 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 31 December 1965), affects textile products sold in France or imported into France, export sales being exempt;
Whereas by Orders of 29 March 1966 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 2 April 1966) and 21 April 1966 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 3 May 1966) 40 % of the proceeds of this charge have been allocated to the French Textiles Institute (Institut textile de France) for research, and 60 % to the trade association called the Union of the Textile Industries (Union des industries textiles - UIT) to implement "programmes for the reorganization of production and distribution methods of textile undertakings and, by way of exception in limited fields, for modernization or collective trade promotion" ; whereas the administrative boards of the two bodies, which take all decisions on the use of these funds, subject to the French Government's right of veto, include members nominated by the industry;
Whereas the French Government informed the Commission of these provisions by letter of 4 May 1966 ; whereas a preliminary study was made of them during a multilateral meeting with representatives of the Member States on 20 June 1966 ; whereas, in accordance with the second sentence of Article 93 (3) of the Treaty, the Commission then initiated the procedure provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article and by letter of 30 May 1967 addressed to all Member States gave the interested parties notice to submit their comments;
Whereas by Decree No 68-383 of 27 April 1968 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 30 April 1968), the French Republic, with effect from 1 May 1968, modified the system introduced by Decree No 65-1163 of 24 December 1965 and revoked that Decree ; whereas the rate of the charge was fixed at 0.35 % by an Order adopted the same day (Official Journal of the French Republic of 30 April 1968) ; whereas by that Order two-sevenths of the proceeds of the charge are allocated to the French Textile Institute for research and five-sevenths to the Union of the Textile Industries for reorganization ; whereas the other provisions of the Order of 21 April 1966 remain in force for the time being;
Whereas the proceeds of the parafiscal charge in question constitute State resources and are allocated in their entirety to the Institute and to the trade association concerned by way of assistance to French textile undertakings ; whereas, by the abovementioned Decrees, the French Government has, therefore, introduced a system of aid;
Whereas the part of the proceeds of the charge which is applied to research by the French Textile Institute is to be used, in particular, to promote technical advances which can improve output and quality in the textile industry, thus relieving that industry, and particularly undertakings which are not in a position to undertake research on their own account, of part of the expenditure connected therewith ; whereas the provisions which the French Government has brought to the attention of the Commission do not suggest that textile undertakings of the other Member States would be able, under the same conditions as apply to French undertakings, to take advantage of the results of all the research financed by the proceeds of the charge ; whereas, therefore, the aid to the French Textile Institute threatens to distort competition by favouring French textile undertakings;
Whereas the same is true of the other part of the proceeds of the charge which is allocated to the Union of the Textile Industries to provide textile undertakings in France with financial aid for the reorganization of production and distribution methods and, by way of exception in certain branches of the industry, for modernization and collective trade promotion.
Whereas by thus strengthening the competitive position of French undertakings receiving aid, to the detriment of those established in other Member States, the aid is liable to disturb trade in textile products between the Member States.
Whereas the effect which the system of aid is likely to have on competition and trade between Member States will be all the more serious in that the textile industry is experiencing difficulties in several Mem-States and that the aid is financed from a special charge on the products of the sector benefiting from the charge, which is also levied on textile products imported from other Member States;
Whereas by the Decree of 24 December 1965 the French Government has thus introduced a system of aid which falls under Article 92 (1) of the Treaty;
Whereas the information supplied by the French Government and the other information available to the Commission give no grounds for applying any of the derogations provided for in Article 92 (2) and (3) (a) and (b) of the Treaty, which provisions the French Government has not in fact invoked ; whereas, in particular, the aid in question has no specific regional purpose within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (a) and is not intended to remedy a serious disturbance in the French economy within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (b);
Whereas as regards the derogation provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the Treaty, the difficulties which the textile industry is at present experiencing in France, as in several other Member States, may justify the introduction of aid to stimulate that industry ; whereas in this particular case the granting of aid to the French Textile Institute for research is likely to provide such stimulus ; whereas the same applies in respect of aid for the Union of the Textile Industries for the reorganization of production and distribution, particularly in the light of the explanations as to the manner of its application given by the French delegation during the multilateral meetings held in Brussels on 20 June 1966 and 18 June 1969;
Whereas it is advisable to ensure that the derogations from Article 92 (1) are reserved for systems of aid which, although they distort competition and disturb trade between Member States, do so to an extent which does not go beyond what is indispensable for the attainment of their legitimate objectives;
Whereas in this case the aid is financed from a parafiscal charge levied on the products of the industry ; whereas the proceeds of that charge are allocated entirely and directly to the French Textile Institute and to the Union of the Textile Industries to finance measures for the benefit of textile undertakings in France ; whereas the parafiscal charge is thus an integral part of the system of aid;
Whereas the levying of this charge is likely to lead to a reduction of foreign producers' profit margins and, to the extent to which the charge is passed on to consumers, to a reduction of their markets ; whereas, therefore, this levy is liable to aggravate the effect of the aid on competition and on intra-Community trade;
Whereas it is not apparent - nor has the French Government made such a claim - that the parafiscal charge, and in particular its application to products imported from other Member States, is indispensable for the attainment of the legitimate objectives of the aid ; whereas it is in fact open to the French authorities to replace the proceeds of the parafiscal charge, either entirely or to the extent of the incidence of the charge on products from other Member States, by funds from other sources, for example by contributions from French textile undertakings;
Whereas, furthermore, even assuming that the abolition of all special taxation on imported textile products would prevent the aid from fully attaining its legitimate objectives, such abolition would nevertheless be necessary, because by aggravating the already difficult situation of the textile industry of other Member States, the taxation of imported products in any case affects trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest;
Whereas, consequently, the system of aid instituted by the Decree of 24 December 1965, and amended by the Decree of 27 April 1968, also does not qualify for the derogation provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the Treaty ; whereas it is therefore incompatible with the common market;
Whereas, finally, according to the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2), and Article 93 (3), the French Republic may not apply the system of aid instituted by the Decree of 24 December 1965 and amended by the Decree of 27 April 1968 and by the implementing Orders of 29 March 1966, 21 April 1966 and 27 April 1968 mentioned above, so long as the granting of the aid is linked with the application to textile products imported from other Member States of the parafiscal charge or any other special taxation on textile products;
Whereas, however, reasonable time should be allowed for the method of financing of the aid referred to in this Decision to be modified,
From 1 April 1970 the French Republic shall not grant any aid under the system instituted by Decree No 65-1163 of 24 December 1965, as amended by Decree No 68-383 of 27 April 1968, which introduced a parafiscal charge for the purpose of encouraging research in the textile industry and the reorganization of production and distribution, unless it first revises. that system in such a way that products imported from other Member States are no longer liable to the parafiscal charge introduced by that system or to any other special taxation on textile products.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1897/2002(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1948/2002(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) To ensure the more balanced management of quantities exported with a refund, an allocation coefficient should be set for tenders presented at the level of the maximum refund.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled grain, medium grain and long grain A rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1897/2002 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 12 to 15 May 2003 at 153,00 EUR/t.
For tenders presented at the level of the maximum refund, an allocation coefficient is set at 75 %.

of 2 April 2009
fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2009/2010 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 61, first paragraph, point (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar or isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.
(2) Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (2). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.
(3) For certain Community producers of sugar and isoglucose, exports from the Community represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Community. Exports of sugar and isoglucose to those markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose exports so that the Community producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.
(4) For the 2009/2010 marketing year it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes, in white sugar equivalent, for out-of-quota sugar exports and 50 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose would correspond to the market demand.
(5) Community exports of sugar to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. In view of the absence of appropriate instruments of mutual assistance to fight against irregularities and in order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the reimport or reintroduction into the Community of out-of-quota sugar certain close destinations should be excluded from the eligible destinations.
(6) In view of the estimated lower risks for eventual frauds regarding isoglucose due to the nature of the product it is not necessary to restrict the eligible destinations for the export of out-of-quota isoglucose.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Fixing the quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports
1. For the 2009/2010 marketing year, running from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) 1234/2007 shall be 650 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.
2. Exports within the quantitative limit fixed in paragraph 1 shall be allowed for all destinations excluding:
(a) third countries: Andorra, Liechtenstein, the Holy See (Vatican City State), San Marino, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (3), Montenegro, Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
(b) territories of Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Community: the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Heligoland, Ceuta, Melilla, the communes of Livigno and Campione d’Italia, and the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control;
(c) European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible, not forming part of the customs territory of the Community: Gibraltar.
Fixing the quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports
1. For the 2009/2010 marketing year, running from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) 1234/2007 shall be 50 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for exports without refund of out-of-quota isoglucose falling within CN codes 1702 40 10, 1702 60 10 and 1702 90 30.
2. Exports of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall only be allowed where they comply with the conditions laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

Whereas the agreements concluded with Indonesia and Brazil (2) remain in force until 31 December 1989 at the least; whereas they are the result of negotiations conducted under Article XXVIII of the GATT with a view to a temporary suspension, valid until the said date at the least, of the tariff concession granted by the Community for imports of products falling within subheading 07.06 A of the Common Customs Tariff whereas these agreements authorize the Community to suspend the said concession;
Whereas the Community has undertaken vis-Ă -vis the Contracting Parties to the GATT to allow, during the period of suspension of the existing binding, imports of certain quantities of the products in question subject to a levy of no more than 6 % ad valorem; whereas, in accordance with the most favoured nation clause, the Community must apply similar treatment to third counries not members of the GATT that are eligible for most favoured nation clause treatment;

Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 stipulates that in order to encourage the marketing of flax products, Community measures promoting the use of flax fibres and of products obtained from such fibres may be taken;
Whereas, in the interests of proper management, it is appropriate that schemes to promote the consumption of flax fibres to be approved by the Commission should be executed within a detailed programme to be established after consulting the Member States and, where appropriate, the relevant trade interests; whereas, with this same objective in view, practical execution of the schemes according to procedures appropriate to their specific technical features should be provided for;
Whereas the various proposals submitted under the agreed procedures must be assessed according to criteria allowing of the best possible choice; whereas, to that end, open or restricted invitations to tender appear to be the most appropriate procedure; whereas, however, for schemes which call for an in-depth knowledge of the flax sector, direct agreement with the trade or inter-branch associations in the sector may be considered the most suitable procedure;
Whereas the Member States should be informed of the Commission's choices and of the progress of the schemes selected;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 771/74 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2117/88 (4), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,

That programme may relate to more than one marketing year.
2. With a view to the establishment of the detailed programme, the Commission
- shall consult the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
- may consult the Advisory Committee on Flax and Hemp.
3. When drawing up its detailed programme, the Commission shall:
- give details of any cooperation with trade or inter-branch associations in the flax sector,
- allow for promotion schemes executed or planned in the sector.
0b
1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the schemes referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 and included in the detailed programme shall be carried out by means of open or restricted invitations to tender. Open invitations to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
2. Among the schemes referred to in the first indent of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70, those relating to technical or commercial information campaigns and those relating to public relations necessitating, owing to their specific or technical nature, specialist knowledge regarding the utilization of flax fibre bundles and of products obtained therefrom shall be carried out, for up to 30 % of the amount allocated for the schemes referred to in that indent, by direct agreement between the Commission and the trade or inter-branch associations in that sector.
0c
1. For the purposes of assessing the various tenders submitted by those interested, the Commission shall consider:
- their quality and their cost,
- the extent to which the tender is in line with the objectives of the various schemes planned,
- the degree of specialization and the experience of the contractor in the area of the scheme contemplated,
- schemes already carried out or under way in the area concerned.
Also, it shall consider:
(a) for tenders relating to schemes provided for in the first indent of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70, the degree of professional and financial reliability of the tenderer;
(b) for tenders relating to the schemes provided for in the second indent of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70:
- the scientific or academic repute of the tenderer,
- the possible extent of the market for the products concerned,
- the length of time it may be expected to take to achieve the results sought.
2. The Commission shall select the tenders.
With a view to such selection, it may consult agencies or individuals specializing in the field, and in particular trade or inter-branch associations in the sector. The Commission shall conclude the contracts. It shall inform the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp from time to time as to the contracts concluded and as to the progress of the schemes.
0d
The price agreed in the contract shall be paid by the Commission in part-payments timed on the basis of the state of progress of the work planned.
A performance security ensuring execution of the contract may be required.
Payment of the balance due and, where appropriate, release of the performance security by the Commission shall be subject to verification by the latter that all obligations under the contract have been properly complied with.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3985/87 (2), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 establishes, with effect from 1 January 1988, a combined goods nomenclature based on the Harmonized System which will meet the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and the nomenclature of goods for the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas, as a consequence, it is necessary to express the descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which appear in Council Regulation (EEC) N° 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in the sector of wine (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3146/87 (4) according to the terms of the combined nomenclature; whereas these adaptations do not call for any amendment of substance,
Regulation (EEC) N° 822/87 is modified as follows:
1.
The 57th paragraph of the recitals, on page six of the Regulation, is replaced by the following:
'Whereas it has become necessary, in order to achieve a more stable balance between production and utilization, to increase the utilization of the vine products; whereas intervention appears to be justified further back than the table wine production stage, by encouraging the use of must for purposes other than wine-making, and in particular the manufacture of grape juice and the manufacture, traditionally carried out in the United Kingdom and in Ireland, of certain products falling within the combined nomenclature subheading 2206 00, since at present some relatively substantial outlets could be made available through such uses;'
2.
The 60th paragraph of the recitals, on page six of the Regulation, is replaced by the following:
'Whereas the industry using some of these products which fall within the combined nomenclature heading N° 2206 00 requires must with a very high natural sugar content which is traditionally produced in southern wine-growing regions; whereas, in order to enable users to continue employing a raw material suited to their needs, aid should be restricted to must from those regions of the Community which are best placed to satisfy the aforementioned qualitative requirements; whereas, however, this action must not give rise to distortion of competition;'
3.
The 78th paragraph of the recitals, page seven of the Regulation, is replaced by the following:
'Whereas in the light of experience it appears that the fermentation of grape juice and concentrated grape juice should be prohibited except for the purpose of obtaining certain products falling within the combined nomenclature subheading 2206 00; whereas the entry into free circulation of wine suitable for yielding table wine which does not have the minimum actual alcoholic strength for table wine should, for the same reason, also be prohibited;'

authorising Luxembourg to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur diesel in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Luxembourg has requested authorisation to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur (50 ppm) diesel used as fuel.
(2) The other Member States have been informed of Luxembourg's request.
(3) The differentiation of excise duty will take the form of a EUR 15 per 1000 litre increase in excise duty on diesel fuel with a sulphur content exceeding 50 ppm. The effective rates will remain above the minimum Community rates of excise duty laid down in accordance with Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(2).
(4) The derogation is sought on environmental grounds - the benefits in terms of air quality are known.
(5) Low-sulphur diesel complies with the environmental specifications (50 ppm) laid down in Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels(3). Under Article 4 of that Directive, the use of 50 ppm diesel will in principle be compulsory from 1 January 2005. The Luxembourg measure will expire on 31 December 2003.
(6) On the information available at present, the Commission and the Member States as a whole consider that the application of a differentiated rate of excise duty on low-sulphur diesel will not cause distortions of competition affecting the common interest or hinder the operation of the single market.
(7) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or the operation of the internal market and are not incompatible with Community environmental policy,
Luxembourg is authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur (50 ppm) diesel from 1 June 2002 to 31 December 2003.
The differentiation in excise duty referred to in Article 1 may not exceed EUR 15 per 1000 litres of fuel.
The rate of excise duty on diesel used as fuel must comply with the obligations set out in Council Directive 92/82/EEC, and in particular the minimum rate laid down in Article 5 thereof.
This Decision shall expire on 31 December 2003.

of 15 December 2008
amending Decision 2006/133/EC requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur
(notified under document number C(2008) 8298)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC (2), Portugal is implementing a plan against the dissemination of the pine wood nematode (PWN) to other Member States as well as within its own territory.
(2) Sweden and Finland informed the Commission between August and October 2008 that several cases of PWN-infested wood had been detected in Portuguese consignments. As a result of these cases, Sweden informed the Commission on 18 September 2008 on the additional measures that it was taking to prevent the introduction into and spread within its territory of PWN.
(3) Spain informed the Commission on 12, 14 and 18 November 2008 about cases where susceptible wood and wood products, including wood packaging material, had been moved recently from Portugal to Spain though the requirements laid down in Decision 2006/133/EC were not fulfilled. In some of those cases PWN was detected.
(4) Portugal has adopted a ministerial decree Portaria n.o 1339-A/2008 on 20 November 2008, including the application of the measures in FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 on wood packaging material originating in continental Portugal and destined for intra-Community trade or export.
(5) In view of this information, it is necessary that all susceptible wood, originating in the demarcated areas in the form of packing cases, boxes, crates, drums and similar packings, pallets, box pallets and other load boards, pallet collars, dunnage, spacers and bearers, including that which has not kept its natural round surface, is treated and marked before it is moved out of the demarcated area, instead of only the newly produced material.
(6) This information also indicates that the existing requirements for movements of all types of susceptible wood other than those referred to in recital 5 and originating in the demarcated areas are not fully applied. Under those circumstances it is appropriate to introduce a general prohibition for movements of such wood out of the demarcated areas. Exceptions from the general prohibition should be provided for as regards movements of susceptible wood from authorised processing plants. Those plants should be authorised and inspected by the responsible official body to ensure that an effective treatment is carried out. They should be included in a list established and updated by the Commission. Traceability should be guaranteed by a plant passport or by a mark as set out in the applicable FAO Standard.
(7) Member States should have the possibility to take measures to ascertain whether the susceptible wood, bark or plants, moving from demarcated areas into their territory is free from PWN.
(8) Decision 2006/133/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The text of Article 3 to Decision 2006/133/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 3
Member States of destination other than Portugal may:
(a) subject consignments of susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from Portugal and moved into their territory, to testing for the presence of PWN;
(b) take further appropriate steps to carry out official monitoring in respect of such consignments and to ascertain whether they comply with the relevant conditions specified in the Annex.

of 18 April 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
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 market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 April 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 3 (3) and Articles 5 (6), 6 (10) and 15 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 of 25 August 1970 on the procedure for granting the premium for leaf tobacco (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1353/75 (4), provides that the premium for leaf tobacco is to be paid for a quantity of tobacco expressed in terms of net weight ; whereas such net weight is established in respect of the reference moisture contents laid down in Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 of 25 August 1970 on intervention procedure for raw tobacco (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1354/75 (6) ; whereas, in addition, Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 provides that the price paid by the intervention agency is to be calculated on the net weight of the tobacco;
Whereas, to ensure uniform application of Community rules, the moisture contents should be determined by a Community method at the time of checking weight when the tobacco leaves the place in which it came under supervision having undergone first processing and market preparation and again at the time when it is bought in for intervention purposes;
Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 1726/70 and (EEC) No 1727/70 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas, however, during other operations to determine the net weight, Member States should be authorized to use other methods to determine the moisture content provided they inform the Commission thereof ; whereas, when this happens, the advance paid on the total amount of the premium should be limited;
Whereas, if the actual moisture contents of the tobacco in respect of which the premium is applied for differs by more than 1 % from the reference moisture contents, a corresponding adjustment should be made in the net weight;
Whereas to clarify Community rules the net weight of the tobacco in respect of which a premium is applied for should be distinguished from the net weight of the tobacco offered for intervention;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Raw Tobacco,
The following Article is hereby added to Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70:
"Article 1a
1. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, the Commission shall lay down one or more Community methods of determining the moisture contents of the tobacco.
2. The use of one of these methods shall be compulsory for the check referred to in Article 1 (2) (b).
3. For the checks referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) and (c), a Member State may use a method other than the Community methods to determine the moisture content of the tobacco. In that event, the Member State must inform the Commission of the method used."
The following paragraph is hereby added to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70:
"5. Where, for the purposes of the checks referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) and (c), the net weight is not determined by means of one of the Community methods provided for in Article 1a (1), the advance on the total amount of the premium shall be limited to 95 %."

Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"1. When determining the net weight of leaf tobacco, no account shall be taken of: (a) the weight of tobacco which does not correspond to the minimum quality characteristics;
(b) the weight of extraneous matter.
2. The net weight shall be established for the reference moisture contents laid down in Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70.
If the actual moisture content noted differs by more than 1 % from the reference moisture content, a corresponding adjustment shall be made.
3. The tobacco shall correspond to the minimum quality characteristics referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1467/70 of 20 July 1970 fixing certain general rules governing intervention on the market in raw tobacco (1) unless it has one or more of the characteristics specified in items (a) to (l) inclusive of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70."
The following sentence is hereby added to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70:
"For the purpose of ascertaining the net weight, the moisture contents shall be determined by means of one of the Community methods provided for in Article 1a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70."
This Regulation shall apply with effect from the 1976 harvest.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) According to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2008, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2008 was eight years.
(3) The coefficients for the period 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2009/2010.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1196/2008 of 2 December 2008 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2008/2009 (3) has exhausted its effects, as it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2008/2009. For reasons of legal security and clarity, this Regulation should be repealed,
For the period 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

adjusting the delivery obligations for cane sugar to be imported under the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India for the 2006/2007 delivery period
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years for the import and refining of sugar products under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2) provides for detailed rules for setting delivery obligations at zero duty for products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India.
(2) These quantities were set, for the 2006/2007 delivery period, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 81/2007 of 29 January 2007 setting delivery obligations for cane sugar to be imported under the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India for the 2006/2007 delivery period (3).
(3) Article 7(1) and (2) of the ACP Protocol lays down rules for cases where an ACP State fails to deliver its agreed quantity.
(4) The competent authorities of Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Madagascar, and Trinidad and Tobago informed the Commission that they will be unable to deliver their agreed quantities in full and that they do not wish to have an additional period for delivery.
(5) After consultation with the ACP States concerned, a reallocation of the shortfall should therefore be carried out for delivery during the 2006/2007 delivery period.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 81/2007 should therefore be repealed, and the delivery obligations for the 2006/2007 delivery period should be adjusted in accordance with Article 12(1) and (2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 950/2006.
(7) Paragraph 2 of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 states that paragraph 1 of that Article shall not apply to a quantity reallocated in accordance with Article 7(1) or (2) of the ACP Protocol. The quantity reallocated pursuant to this Regulation should therefore be imported before 30 June 2007. However, due to the late decision of this reallocation and account being taken of the time allowed for applying for import licences, it will be impossible to respect this deadline. Therefore Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 should also apply to the quantity reallocated pursuant to this Regulation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The delivery obligations for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India in respect of products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in tonnes of white-sugar equivalent, in the 2006/2007 delivery period for each exporting country concerned, are hereby adjusted as shown in the Annex.
By way of derogation from Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 950/200, Article 14(1) of that Regulation shall apply to the quantity reallocated pursuant to this Regulation and imported after 30 June 2007.
Regulation (EC) No 81/2007 is hereby repealed.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 April 1983
under Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty, on a proposal to grant aid to an undertaking in the textile and clothing sector (undertaking No 111)
(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)
(83/468/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having invited comments from interested parties as required by that Article,
Whereas:
I
By letter dated 17 September 1982 the Belgian Government notified the Commission of its intention to award aid to an undertaking in the carpet industry, a sector considered to be 'highly competitive' in Belgium.
The undertaking, which employs 256 people, would use the aid, from the Belgian textile and clothing sector aid scheme, to raise its output by 4,3 %. Some 57,8 % of its output was exported to other Member States in 1982 and 14,6 % to countries outside the Community.
The aid, totalling Bfrs 158,7 million, would mainly be spent on investment in replacement machinery and the purchase of new plant, expenditure which under normal circumstances the firm would have to meet itself.
On 20 December 1982 the Commission initiated the procedure provided for under the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the proposed aid, on the ground that it would affect trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest and would therefore be incompatible with the common market.
The Commission also believed that the aid did not satisfy the conditions laid down in the Belgian textile and clothing industry aid scheme, which the Commission had approved on 18 November 1981 and which had been in effect in Belgium since 1 January 1982.
II
Replying to the opening of the Article 93 procedure for the first time on 28 January 1983, the Belgian Government failed to adduce any new evidence or arguments which might have led the Commission to revise its initial finding.
In a further letter dated 23 March 1983, the Government said it was prepared to reduce the aid by about Bfrs 40 million and the undertaking to cut its production capacity by 18 % over 18 months.
This proposal would still have left the undertaking with the bulk of the aid, some Bfrs 118 million, and would not have altered the fact that it was to be used for investment, such as building alterations, purchase of boilers and materials handling systems, and improvements in production processes, which is normally paid for by the firm concerned and cannot be described as restructuring expenditure. Furthermore, the proposed 18 % reduction in capacity over 18 months would not have involved any cut in actual output and the obsolete machinery taken out of service would have been replaced by new machinery capable of maintaining output and indeed slightly increasing it, by 4,3 %.
The three Member States, two trade associations and one individual firm from the sector that submitted comments under the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty pointed out that Belgian exports of carpets to other EEC countries were steadily rising and that any further aid to firms in the sector, which was very competitive as it was, would have an immediate effect on competition.
The figures the Commission has on recent trade flows in the carpet and floor coverings sector also point to a steady and quite large increase in the volume of Belgian exports to other EEC countries - of the order of 10 % in 1982 - and show that about 90 % of Belgian output is exported, two-thirds of it to other EEC countries.
III
The proposed aid is likely to affect trade between Member States and to distort competition by favouring the undertaking in question or production of the goods in question. It therefore falls within Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.
The Treaty declares aid as set out in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty to be incompatible with the common market. The exceptions provided for by Article 92 (3) are intended for cases in which the aid is pursuing objectives which are in the general Community interest and not just that of the beneficiary. The conditions attached to the exceptions must be applied strictly when the Commission scrutinizes schemes of regional or sectoral aid or particular cases of the application of general aid schemes. In particular, a case may not be deemed to fall within the scope of one of the exceptions unless the Commission is sure that it will genuinely advance the objectives stated in the exception clause and that the aid recipient would be unable to achieve the same result by his own efforts under normal market conditions.
To exempt an aid proposal without insisting on adequate redeeming features of this nature would be to allow trade between the Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without the Community receiving any benefit in return whilst certain Member States derive undue advantages.
In applying the above principles in its scrutiny of individual aid cases the Commission must be satisfied that the case does have specific redeeming features such that grant of the aid is necessary to achieve one of the objectives listed in Article 92 (3). When there is no evidence of this, and especially where the investment would go ahead in an unchanged form in any case, it is clear that the aid would not advance any of the objectives set out in the exception clauses but would merely serve to boost the financial position of the undertaking in question.
In the present case there do not appear to be any such redeeming features in the proposal to aid this particular undertaking. The firm has already gone ahead with part of the investment on its own.
The Belgian textile and clothing industry aid scheme was approved by the Commission on 18 November 1981 on condition that, as soon as it entered into force, the firms in the industry would no longer be granted aid under any other selective, regional or general scheme.
For individual cases of aid under this scheme to be regarded as falling within the exception provided for by Article 92 (3) (c), they would first of all have to meet all the conditions laid down by the scheme as it was approved by the Commission. The most important of these requirements are the undertaking of restructuring to restore the firm to viability and changes in capacity and output which the aid is to help finance and they apply particularly where the firm in question belongs to a sector of the industry that is sensitive or is quite competitive already.
In a modernization programme such as that concerned in the present case in the carpet industry, all the investment involved, be it building alterations or purchase of new cutting machinery or materials handling equipment, is directly or indirectly intended to improve the firm's production capacity and would normally be paid for by the firm itself.
The channelling of aid to a restructuring operation of this nature does not therefore appear to accord with the conditions of the Belgian textile and clothing sector aid scheme, especially as the sector concerned, the carpet and floor coverings industry, is highly competitive. The aid would also help to raise by 4,3 % the output of an undertaking which sells the bulk of its output within the Community (57,8 % in other Member States and 27,6 % in Belgium) and would therefore affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
The Belgian Government has accordingly failed to show - and the Commission to confirm - that the proposal would meet all the conditions that would need to be satisfied, in the context of the national textile and clothing industry aid scheme, for an aid proposal to be regarded as falling within the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty.
Nor is it possible to regard the proposed aid as falling within the scope of the exceptions provided for by subparagraphs (a) and (b) of Article 92 (3), because the standard of living in the area concerned is not abnormally low and there is no serious underemployment, and because the aid would not promote the execution of an important project of common European interest or remedy a serious disturbance in the Belgian economy,
The aid which the Belgian Government has proposed to grant to an undertaking in the carpet and floor coverings sector is incompatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty. The Belgian Government shall therefore refrain from granting the aid.
Belgium shall inform the Commission, within two months of the date of notification of this Decision, of the steps it has taken to comply therewith.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Pursuant to Article 3(2) of that Decision, Member States shall obtain a financial contribution on the condition that measures are applied to eradicate swine vesicular disease.
(2) Swine vesicular disease is an infectious viral disease of pigs which is clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease and causing therefore disturbance to trade within the Union and export to third countries.
(3) Outbreaks of swine vesicular disease occurred in Italy in 2009. The recrudescence of that disease represents a serious risk to the Union’s livestock population. Italy took measures, in accordance with Article 3(2) of Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2), to combat those outbreaks.
(4) In the event of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings within that Member State, but also to other Member States and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(5) Commission Decision 2005/779/EC of 8 November 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against swine vesicular disease in Italy (3) lays down animal health rules as regards swine vesicular disease for regions of Italy that are recognized as free from swine vesicular disease and those not recognized as free from that disease. The Italian authorities complied with the information requirements foreseen in Article 11 of that decision.
(6) Article 3(6), first indent of Decision 2009/470/EC lays down rules on the percentage of certain costs incurred by the Member State that may be covered by the Union’s financial contribution.
(7) The payment of a Union financial contribution towards emergency measures to eradicate swine vesicular disease is subject to the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (4).
(8) Italy has fully complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.
(9) On 21 May 2009 and 10 June 2009, Italy submitted an estimate of the costs incurred in taking measures to eradicate swine vesicular disease.
(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,
Financial contribution from the Union to Italy
A financial contribution from the Union may be granted to Italy towards certain costs incurred by that Member State in taking measures pursuant to Article 3(2) of Decision 2009/470/EC to combat swine vesicular disease in 2009.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2209/2002
of 12 December 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
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 market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 December 2002.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 5 March 2013
authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2013/116/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letters registered with the Commission on 12 July 2012 and on 4 October 2012, the Kingdom of the Netherlands requested authorisation to introduce a special measure for derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC as regards the person liable for payment of value added tax (VAT).
(2) In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States, by letter dated 17 October 2012, of the request made by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. By letter dated 19 October 2012, the Commission notified the Kingdom of the Netherlands that it had all the information it considered necessary to consider the request.
(3) Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC provides that the taxable person supplying the goods or services is, as a general rule, liable for the payment of the VAT to the tax authorities. The purpose of the derogation requested by the Kingdom of the Netherlands is to make, under certain circumstances, the recipient of supplies of certain goods liable for the payment of VAT in relation to particular products, notably mobile phones, integrated circuit devices, game consoles and personal computers for mobile use.
(4) According to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a number of traders in those products engage in fraudulent activities by selling the products without paying the VAT to the tax authorities. Their customers, however, are entitled to a deduction of VAT as they are in possession of a valid invoice. In the most aggressive cases, the goods are supplied several times in a row without payment of VAT (‘carousel fraud’). In this context, the Dutch tax investigation services have noted a shift from fraud with mobile phones and integrated circuit devices towards fraud with game consoles and personal computers for mobile use.
(5) By designating the person to whom the goods are supplied as the person liable for the payment of VAT, a derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC would eliminate the opportunity to engage in that form of tax evasion.
(6) In order to ensure the effective operation of the derogation and to prevent tax evasion from being shifted to retail trade or to other products, the Kingdom of the Netherlands should introduce appropriate control and reporting obligations. In addition, a minimum taxable amount threshold should reduce the risk of the fraud being shifted to retail trade.
(7) The authorisation should be valid only for a very short period as questions remain concerning, in particular, the possible impact of the reverse charge mechanism on the functioning of the VAT systems within Member States who apply it or in other Member States. The end date of the authorisation coincides with the end of similar derogations authorised in relation to mobile phones and integrated circuit devices so as to enable the development of a more comprehensive and more harmonised anti-fraud policy in the future.
(8) The derogation will not have an adverse effect on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is hereby authorised to designate as the person liable for the payment of VAT the taxable person to whom supplies of the following goods are made:
(a) mobile phones, being devices made or adapted for use in connection with a licensed network and operated on specified frequencies, whether or not they have any other use;
(b) integrated circuit devices such as microprocessors and central processing units in a state prior to integration into end-user products;
(c) game consoles, which by virtue of their objective characteristics and principal functions, are intended for playing video games and other computer games, whether or not they have any other use;
(d) laptops and tablet PC’s.
The derogation shall apply in respect of supplies of goods for which the taxable amount is equal to or higher than EUR 10 000.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 is subject to the Kingdom of the Netherlands introducing appropriate and effective control and reporting obligations on taxable persons who supply goods to which the reverse charge applies in accordance with this Decision.

on a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Cape Verde regarding exports of certain fisheries products to the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (3), the Community granted generalised tariff preferences to Cape Verde.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establishes the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP). Article 76 of that Regulation provides for derogations from that definition in favour of least-developed beneficiary countries benefiting from the GSP which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.
(3) From 1 March 2005 Cape Verde benefited from Decision No 2/2005 of the ACP-EC Customs Cooperation Committee of 1 March 2005 derogating from the concept of ‘originating products’ to take account of the special situation of the ACP States regarding the production of preserved tuna and of tuna loins (HS heading ex 1604) (4).
(4) However, these arrangements ceased to apply after 31 December 2007 and Cape Verde has not yet concluded an Economic Partnership Agreement with the Community. Consequently, the only preferential trade arrangement available to Cape Verde since 1 January 2008 is the GSP.
(5) By letter dated 27 November 2007 Cape Verde submitted a request for a derogation from GSP rules of origin in accordance with Article 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. By letter dated 27 February 2008, it submitted complementary information in support of this request.
(6) The derogation request concerns a total annual quantity of 1 561 tonnes of three species of prepared or preserved fish, two of which were not covered by the derogation granted by Decision No 2/2005: frigate tuna or frigate mackerel, mackerel and tuna.
(7) The derogation request has been considered by the Commission and has been found to be complete and duly substantiated.
(8) The derogation is required in order to ensure continuity of supply throughout the year and thus secure a substantial investment by a firm having already shown its commitment to supporting the development of the activity concerned in Cape Verde.
(9) This investment would not only have a direct impact on the Cape Verde fishing industry with regard to the species for which the derogation is requested, but also a substantial indirect, beneficial effect on the revitalisation of Cape Verde’s fishing fleet generally. With more Cape Verde vessels being operational, the ability to supply originating fish would gradually increase.
(10) The derogation should be sufficiently long to ensure the investment and general predictability for operators, but it may not in any event go beyond 31 December 2010, when Cape Verde will no longer benefit from the special arrangement for least developed countries within GSP. After that the viability of the Cape Verde canning industry should be ensured within the framework of an Economic Partnership Agreement.
(11) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of Cape Verde, the customs authorities of the Community and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Regulation.
(12) In order to allow more efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Cape Verde should communicate regularly to the Commission details of certificates of origin issued.
(13) In their request, the authorities of Cape Verde indicated that the firm concerned would probably not have the production capacity to use the whole amount of the quotas requested in the first year of operation after the investment was made. Consequently, while the requested quantities should be granted in full for the years 2009 and 2010, the quotas should be reduced pro rata for the period in which the derogation will apply in the year 2008.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
By way of derogation from Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, prepared or preserved mackerel, frigate tuna and frigate mackerel and tuna of CN codes ex 1604 15, ex 1604 19 and ex 1604 14 produced in Cape Verde from non-originating fish shall be regarded as originating in Cape Verde in accordance with the arrangements set out in Articles 2, 3 and 4.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products transported directly from Cape Verde and imported into the Community during the period from 1 September 2008 until 31 December 2010, up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product.
The quantities set out in the Annex shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The customs authorities of Cape Verde shall take the necessary steps to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.
2. The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificates of origin form A issued by the competent authorities of Cape Verde pursuant to this Regulation: ‘Derogation — Regulation (EC) No 815/2008’.
3. The competent authorities of Cape Verde shall forward to the Commission every quarter a statement of the quantities in respect of which certificates of origin form A have been issued pursuant to this Regulation and the serial numbers of those certificates.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 September 2008.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 5 of Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1) lays down that, on expiry of a three-year period from notification of the Directive, the substances and colouring agents listed in Annex IV thereof shall either be definitively permitted, or definitively prohibited, retained for a further period of three years in Annex IV, or deleted from all Annexes;
Whereas, in view of the complexity of the problems to be solved, this deadline cannot be met and must therefore be extended,
Directive 76/768/EEC is hereby amended as follows: 1. In the first subparagraph of Article 5, the words "For a period of three years from notification of this Directive" shall be replaced by "Until 31 December 1980".
2. In the second subparagraph of Article 5, the words "On expiry of the three-year period" shall be replaced by "From 1 January 1981".
Member States shall take all measures necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 July 1979. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 21(5) and (8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for financial compensation to be paid to producer organisations which withdraw on certain conditions, the products listed in Annex I, points A and B to that Regulation. The amount of such financial compensation should be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2493/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been withdrawn from the market (2) specifies the ways of disposing of the products withdrawn from the market. The value of such products should be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average revenues which may be obtained from such disposal in the various Member States.
(3) Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawals of certain fishery products (3), special rules provide that, where a producer organisation or one of its members puts its products up for sale in a Member State other than the country in which it is recognised, that body responsible for granting the financial compensation must be informed. This body is the one in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised. The standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State.
(4) The same method of calculation should be applied to advances on financial compensation as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
For the 2007 fishing year, the standard values to be used in calculating financial compensation and associated advances for fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer organisations and intended for purposes other than human consumption, as referred to in Article 21(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
The standard value to be deducted from financial compensation and associated advances shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised.
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 2007.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) On 28 July 2011, the Dispute Settlement Body (‘DSB’) of the World Trade Organisation (‘WTO’) adopted the Appellate Body Report and the Panel Report as modified by the Appellate Body Report (‘the Reports’) in the dispute ‘European Communities — Definitive Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Iron or Steel Fasteners from China’ (2).
(2) In the Reports, it was found, inter alia, that Article 9(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (3) (‘Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation’) was inconsistent with Articles 6.10, 9.2 and 18.4 of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article XVI:4 of the WTO Agreement. Article 9(5) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation provides that individual exporting producers in non-market economy countries which do not receive market economy treatment pursuant to point (c) of Article 2(7) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation will be subject to a countrywide duty rate unless such exporters can demonstrate that they meet the conditions for individual treatment (‘IT’) set out in Article 9(5) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation.
(3) The Appellate Body found that Article 9(5) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation establishes a presumption that exporting producers operating in non-market economy countries are not entitled to IT and that in order to qualify for IT, the onus is on them to demonstrate that they satisfy the criteria of the IT test. According to the Appellate Body, no legal basis for such a presumption is provided for in the relevant WTO agreements.
(4) However, the Appellate Body clarified that, when determining a single dumping margin and a single anti-dumping duty for a number of exporters, the consistency of that determination with Articles 6.10 and 9.2 of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement will depend on the existence of situations indicating that two or more exporters, albeit legally distinct, are in such a relationship that they should be treated as a single entity. Such situations may include: (i) the existence of corporate and structural links between the exporters, such as common control, shareholding and management; (ii) the existence of corporate and structural links between the State and the exporters, such as common control, shareholding and management; and (iii) control or material influence by the State in respect of pricing and output. In this regard, the terms in the proposed amendments to Article 9(5) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation reflecting these situations should be read in the light of the Appellate Body’s clarifications without prejudice to terms using the same or a similar wording in other provisions of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation.
(5) On 18 August 2011, the Union notified the DSB that it intends to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB in this dispute in a manner that respects its WTO obligations.
(6) For that purpose, it is necessary to amend the provisions of Article 9(5) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation,
Article 9(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 is replaced by the following:
‘5. An anti-dumping duty shall be imposed in the appropriate amounts in each case, on a non-discriminatory basis on imports of a product from all sources found to be dumped and causing injury, except for imports from those sources from which undertakings under the terms of this Regulation have been accepted.
The Regulation imposing anti-dumping measures shall specify the duty for each supplier or, if that is impracticable, the supplying country concerned. Suppliers which are legally distinct from other suppliers or which are legally distinct from the State may nevertheless be considered as a single entity for the purpose of specifying the duty. For the application of this subparagraph, account may be taken of factors such as the existence of structural or corporate links between the suppliers and the State or between suppliers, control or material influence by the State in respect of pricing and output, or the economic structure of the supplying country.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organizaion of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 559/76 (2), and in particular Articles 10 (3) and 28 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1530/76 (4), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 of 2 July 1976 concerning special arrangements for the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State (5), provides for the aid to be paid for skimmed-milk powder ; whereas it appears that this product is frequently incorporated into another product before being dispatched to the Member State where it is to be denatured ; whereas it therefore seems appropriate to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 so as to provide for the practice, while at the same time adapting accordingly the arrangements for customs control;
Whereas, in order to regularize as necessary operations effected since the said Regulation entered into force, it seems appropriate to give the provisions contained in this Regulation a certain retrospective effect;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 provides that proof of control of the products in question by the Member State of destination shall be provided by production of the control copy referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2315/69 ; whereas Article 11 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of 29 May 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1577/76 (7), stipulates that the payment by the exporting Member State of the monetary compensatory amount shall be conditional upon production of certain proof, and that such proof shall be furnished by production of the control copy specified in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2315/69 ; whereas, in the interests of simplification it should be provided that both matters may be proven by production of a single control copy;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 is amended to read as follows:
"Where, with respect to the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder produced in one Member State (hereinafter referred to as "the consignor Member State" and intended to be dispatched into another Member State (hereinafter referred to as "the Member State of destination"), whether unprocessed or after being incorporated into another product, in order to be denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs on the territory of the latter State in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 990/72, the authorization provided in the third subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 is used, the provisions of this Regulation shall apply."
The final subparagraph of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 is amended to read as follows:
"In Section 106, there shall be entered: - the date on which customs export formalities were completed, (1)OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13. (2)OJ No L 67, 15.3.1976, p. 9. (3)OJ No L 169, 18.7.1968, p. 4. (4)OJ No L 170, 29.6.1976, p. 4. (5)OJ No L 180, 6.7.1976, p. 9. (6)OJ No L 139, 30.5.1975, p. 37. (7)OJ No L 172, 1.7.1976, p. 57.
- the net weight of skimmed-milk powder in the case where it is not exported in its natural state."
A paragraph 2a as follows is inserted in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76:
"2a. Where Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 is applied, the items specified in the preceding paragraph shall be entered on the control copy referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, in the case of skimmed-milk powder incorporated in another product and exported to Italy between 15 July 1976 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the aid shall be payable in respect of the skimmed-milk powder concerned, provided that the applicant can produce proof that the provisions governing the payment of such aid were fulfilled.
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 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 24 April 2012
determining the second set of regions for the start of operations of the Visa Information System (VIS)
(notified under document C(2012) 2505)
(2012/274/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 concerning the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas (VIS Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 48(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 provides for a progressive implementation of the VIS operations. The Commission in its Decision 2010/49/EC (2) determined the first regions for the start of operations of the VIS. Taking into account the start of operations of the VIS on 11 October 2011, it is necessary to determine a second set of regions where the data to be processed in the VIS, including photographs and fingerprint data, shall be collected and transmitted to the VIS for all visa applications in the region concerned.
(2) Article 48(4) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 provides for the determination of the sequence of the regions for the VIS deployment based on the following criteria: the risk of irregular immigration, threats to the internal security of the Member States and the feasibility of collecting biometrics from all locations in the region concerned.
(3) The Commission has made an assessment for the different regions taking into account, for the first criterion, elements such as the average visa refusal rates, the entry refusal rates and the rates of third country nationals detected as irregularly present in the territory of the Member States; for the second criterion, a threat assessment performed by Europol; and for the third criterion, the fact that the level of consular presence or representation has increased in all regions worldwide since the adoption of Decision 2010/49/EC.
(4) According to this assessment, the subsequent regions where the collection and transmission of visa data to the VIS should start for all visa applications should be: West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa, South America, Central Asia, South East Asia.
(5) The occupied Palestinian territory was excluded from the Near East region, which was covered by Decision 2010/49/EC, due to the technical difficulties that could be encountered in the equipping of the consular posts or offices concerned. To avoid a gap when fighting irregular immigration and protecting internal security and taking into account the time left to Member States to solve the technical difficulties, the occupied Palestinian territory should be the 11th region where the collection and transmission of visa data to the VIS should start for all visa applications.
(6) The starting date of the operations in each of these regions is to be determined by the Commission pursuant to Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008.
(7) For the determination of the further regions, subsequent decisions should be taken at a later stage on the basis of an additional and updated assessment of these other regions in accordance with the relevant criteria and the experience with the implementation in the regions determined by Decision 2010/49/EC and by the present Decision.
(8) Given that the VIS Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark notified the implementation of the VIS Regulation in its national law in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community. Denmark is therefore bound under international law to implement this Decision.
(9) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (3). The United Kingdom is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application.
(10) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(4). Ireland is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application.
(11) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters’ association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (6) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.
(12) As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (8).
(13) As regards Liechtenstein, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (9).
(14) As regards Cyprus, this Decision constitutes an act building upon, or otherwise related to, the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession.
(15) As regards Bulgaria and Romania, this Decision constitutes an act building upon or otherwise related to the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 51(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (10),

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 of 27 March 2007 laying down rules for voluntary modulation of direct payments provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 provides that Member States where at the entry into force of that Regulation the system of additional reductions of direct payments referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 of 22 September 2004 laying down rules for the transition from the optional modulation system established by Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 to the mandatory modulation system established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2) is applied may apply a reduction, during the period 2007-2012, hereinafter referred to as ‘voluntary modulation’, to all the amounts of direct payments within the meaning of Article 2(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3).
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 provides that, within two months of the entry into force of that Regulation, Member States decide on and communicate to the Commission the annual rate of voluntary modulation that will apply for the period 2007 to 2012 with an assessment in order to gauge the impact of the application of such modulation.
(3) Under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007, any Member State where at the entry into force of that Regulation the system of additional reductions of direct payments referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 is applied and the single payment scheme is applied at regional level may, for the period 2007 to 2012, choose to apply rates that are regionally differentiated according to objective criteria. The maximum rate for any of the regions of each Member State concerned is 20 %.
(4) Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 378/2007 provides that any Member State applying regionally differentiated rates of voluntary modulation submits to the Commission, within two months of the entry into force of that Regulation, for the period 2007 to 2012, information concerning (a) the annual rates of voluntary modulation for each region and for the whole territory, (b) the annual total amounts to be reduced under voluntary modulation, (c) where appropriate, the annual total additional amounts needed to cover the additional amount of aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1(3) of that Regulation, and (d) statistical and other supportive data used to establish the amounts referred to in points (b) and (c).

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1277/2005 (2) determines whether specific monitoring measures upon export of drug precursors from the European Union are required. Annex IV to that Regulation lists for each of the scheduled substances of categories 2 and 3 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 111/2005, the countries for which a pre-export notification is required. The lists involve third countries which have requested to receive pre-export notifications in accordance with Article 12(10) of the United Nations Convention against illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances of 1988.
(2) The United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs has, at its second meeting, on 8 March 2010, decided to include phenylacetic acid in Table I of the United Nations Convention against illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances of 1988. Article 12(10) of that Convention sets out that each Party from whose territory a substance in Table I is to be exported shall ensure that, prior to such export, information on the export consignment is supplied by its competent authorities to the competent authorities of the importing country.
(3) Following the decision to include phenylacetic acid in Table I of the United Nations Convention, it is necessary to amend Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1277/2005 to ensure that pre-export notifications are sent for all exports of phenylacetic acid from the European Union.

Whereas on 12 April 1986 the Spanish Government forwarded a programme within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas on 30 April and 5 May 1986 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the programme contains the information referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83; whereas the time required for its execution is in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 3;
Whereas the vessels in the Spanish fishing fleet are quite old and the fleet should be partially renewed; whereas, because of uncertainty as to the availability of fish stocks in Community waters and elsewhere, such renewal must involve an overall reduction in fishing capacity and permanent monitoring thereof on the basis of the rate of direct and indirect withdrawal of obsolete vessels still in service;
Whereas, having regard to production potential, measures for the conservation and management of fish stocks, demand for the products concerned and the guidelines of the common fisheries policy, the programme may constitute a suitable framework for projects which may qualify for financial support from the Community in 1986;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The guidance programme in respect of the fishing fleet, applicable until 31 December 1986, forwarded by the Spanish Government on 12 April 1986, as last supplemented on 30 April and 5 May 1986, the main features of which are set out in Annex I hereto, is hereby approved subject to the provisions set out in Annex II hereto.

For the purposes of Article 211 of the Agreement, modifications to the Agreement through decisions of the Subcommittee on Geographical Indications shall be approved by the Commission on behalf of the Union. Where interested parties cannot reach agreement following objections relating to a geographical indication, the Commission shall adopt a position on the basis of the procedure laid down in Article 57(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (5).
