32010D0285 | 2010/285/: Council Decision of 19 January 2010 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany
| 21.5.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 125/38
COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 January 2010
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany
(2010/285/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, in particular, Article 126(6) in conjunction with Article 126(13) and Article 136 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Germany,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 also establishes provisions for the implementation of Article 104 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, required the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considered that an excessive deficit in a Member State existed or might occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit existed in Germany. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Germany on 11 November 2009 (3).
(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Germany, this overall assessment leads to the conclusions set out in this Decision.
(7) According to data notified by the German authorities in October 2009, the general government deficit in Germany is planned to reach 3,7 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding and not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value. The planned excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. According to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, real GDP in Germany is projected to contract sharply by 5 % in the year 2009. Furthermore, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary, since according to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, taking into account the measures adopted in the current year affecting the budget for 2010 and for 2011, the deficit would widen to 5,0 % of GDP in 2010 to fall down to 4,6 % of GDP in 2011 on a no-policy change basis. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(8) According to data notified by the German authorities in October 2009, the general government gross debt (which has been above the 60 % of GDP reference value since 2002) is planned to stand at 74,2 % of GDP in 2009. According to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, the debt ratio is expected to rise further to 73,1 % of GDP in 2009 and reach 79,7 % of GDP in 2011. The debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Germany, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Germany.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 5 November 2003
establishing the European Banking Committee
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/10/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) In June 2001, the Commission adopted Decisions 2001/527/EC(1) and 2001/528/EC(2) setting up the Committee of European Securities Regulators and the European Securities Committee respectively.
(2) In its Resolutions of 5 February and 21 November 2002, the European Parliament endorsed the four-level approach advocated in the Final Report of the Committee of Wise Men on the regulation of European securities markets and called for certain aspects of that approach to be extended to the banking and insurance sectors subject to a clear Council commitment to reform to guarantee a proper institutional balance.
(3) On 3 December 2002, the Council invited the Commission to implement such arrangements in the fields of banking and insurance and occupational pensions and to establish as soon as possible new committees in an advisory capacity in relation to those fields.
(4) Directive 2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions(3) established the Banking Advisory Committee to advise the Commission in the development of legislation and assist the Commission in the exercise of its implementing powers in the banking field.
(5) The Commission has proposed a Directive modifying, inter alia, Directive 2000/12/EC, Council Directive 93/6/EEC of 15 March 1993 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit institutions(4), Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on deposit-guarantee schemes(5), and Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 on the supplementary supervision of credit institutions, insurance undertakings and investment firms in a financial conglomerate and amending Council Directives 73/239/EEC, 79/267/EEC, 92/49/EEC, 92/96/EEC, 93/6/EEC and 93/22/EEC, and Directives 98/78/EC and 2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(6), to repeal the advisory functions of the Banking Advisory Committee.
(6) Such an amendment requires the corresponding and simultaneous creation of a new advisory group to advise the Commission as regards the development of Community banking legislation, to be called the "European Banking Committee".
(7) To avoid duplication, the Decision shall enter into force at the same time as any Directive repealing the purely advisory functions of the Banking Advisory Committee.
(8) When the European Banking Committee provides advice on provisions applicable to both credit institutions and investment firms, its composition should be such as to ensure that the perspective of investment firms is taken into account.
(9) The establishment of the European Banking Committee should not rule out other forms of cooperation between the different authorities involved in the regulation and supervision of credit institutions, in particular within the Committee of European Banking Supervisors established by Commission Decision 2004/5/EC(7),
An advisory group on banking activities in the Community, called the "European Banking Committee", hereinafter referred to as "the Committee", is hereby established.
The Committee shall advise the Commission, at the Commission's request, on policy issues relating to banking activities as well as Commission proposals in that field.
The Committee shall be composed of high level representatives of Member States. The Committee shall be chaired by a representative of the Commission.
The Chairperson of the Committee of European Banking Supervisors established by Commission Decision 2004/5/EC shall participate at the meetings of the Committee as an observer. The European Central Bank shall be represented as observer.
The Commission may invite experts and observers to attend meetings.
The secretariat shall be provided by the Commission.
The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure. The Committee shall meet at regular intervals and whenever the situation demands. The Commission may convene an emergency meeting if it considers that the situation so requires.
This Decision shall enter into force on the same day as the entry into force of any directive repealing the purely advisory functions of the Banking Advisory Committee. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 1 (2) and Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2390/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3331/91 (4), set out the import facilities for wine products originating in third countries which offer specific guarantees through the provision of a certificate of origin and conformity and an analysis report; whereas Article 3 (2) of that Regulation limits the said facilities to a trial period expiring on 31 January 1992; whereas, taking into account the time necessary to examine the implementation of future arrangements, the abovementioned period should be extended for three months,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 46 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/97(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1923/1999(4), lays down detailed rules for operational programmes, operational funds and Community financial assistance.
(2) Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 411/97 set a time limit of 15 December for Member States to approve operational programmes of producer organisations and to notify producer organisations of the amount of the operational fund.
(3) The ceiling on the amount of Community financial assistance granted to any individual producer organisation, set in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, has been amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000(5). Producer organisations have not been able to take this ceiling into account when submitting operational programmes for implementation in 2001.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 provides a framework for the elaboration and implementation of rural development plans. According to Article 37(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, consistency shall be ensured between these measures and measures in the common market organisations. Certain delays have occurred with respect to the time-frames for submission and approval of rural development plans set in Article 44(2).
(5) Approval of operational programmes for implementation in 2001 can only be made adequately by taking into account the ceiling of financial assistance on operational funds and the contents of rural development plans. To enable Member States to approve operational programmes, the time limit of 15 December set in Articles 5(1) and (4), 6(2) and 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 411/97 may be postponed.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
For operational programmes to be implemented in 2001, Member States may accept requests for amendments from producer organisations, where the amendments take into account:
- the maximum amount of financial assistance set in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, and/or
- approved rural development plans according to Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.

Whereas the basic objective of Title II of Directive 72/161/EEC is to enable persons of 18 years and over engaged in agriculture to acquire new agricultural skills, or to improve those which they already possess, so that they can integrate into modern agriculture;
Whereas to achieve this aim, Member States are obliged, in pursuance of Articles 5 (1) and 6 (1) of Directive 72/161/EEC, in addition to the normal agricultural courses of study organized as part of the national education system to implement measures to give farmers and hired and family agricultural workers further training of a general, technical and economic nature; (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 15.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
1. In July 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Federation of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (CEFIC) on behalf of a producer representing a major proportion of Community production of basic chromium sulphate and 100 % of the production of this product in Italy. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of basic chromium sulphate falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 28.38 A IV, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 28.38-49 and originating in Yugoslavia and commenced an investigation.
2. The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
3. Both Yugoslav producers known to the Commission made their views known in writing. None of the Yugoslav exporters who act as agents on behalf of the producers, made known to the Commission in the course of the proceeding, expressed their views. None of the interested parties have requested a hearing.
4. No submissions were made by or on behalf of Community purchasers or processors of basic chromium sulphate.
5. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out an investigation at the premises of the EEC producer concerned Luigi Stoppani SpA, Milan (Italy).
6. With a view to obtaining and verifying the information relating to the Yugoslav producers, Zorka (Subotica) and Zupa Hemijska Industrija (Krusevac), the Commission conducted an investigation in Belgrade, not at the premises of the producers, but, upon the proposal of the Yugoslav producers, in the offices of a professional association. The Commission's representatives were not given the opportunity to obtain and verify all relevant information.
7. The investigaton of dumping and price undercutting covered the period from 1 April to 30 September 1984.
B. Normal value
8. It was found that, with respect to the product concerned destined for the domestic market, both Yugoslav producers only transformed the raw material supplied to them by their customers, whom they charged for the transformation of the raw material into basic chromium sulphate. The price charged on the domestic market for this transformation service by the producers of the product exported to the Community could not be considered to be the comparable price actually paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade of the like product intended for consumption in the exporting country in accordance with Article 2 (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.
9. In view of this it was necessary to have recourse to one of the other methods provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 to establish normal value. No opportunity was given to the Commission to verify all the relevant data relating to the cost of production and the margin of profit in Yugoslavia.
Furthermore, both producers were requested to submit information concerning the comparable price of the like product exported from Yugoslavia to third countries. However, the Yugoslav producers refused to submit any evidence on this matter. It was therefore imposssible to determine the normal value in accordance with Article 2 (3) (b) (i) or (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.
10. Consequently, it is considered appropriate to determine normal value in accordance with Article 7 (7) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 on the basis of the facts available, i. e. the domestic price appearing in the complaint which has been verified as far possible by the Commission on the basis of other information available to it. The attention of the Yugoslav producers was drawn to this possible course of action on several occasions.
C. Export price
11. Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
12. In comparing normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate and to the extent of the evidence available, of differences in conditions and terms of sale such as transport, insurance, forwarding costs and commissions.
13. All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
E. Margins
14. Normal value was compared with the export prices of each export transaction. The above preliminary examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of Zorka and Zupa Hemijska Industrija. The dumping margins vary according to the exporter, the weighted average margin for each of the exporters being as follows:
- Zorka: 17,0 %
- Zupa Hemisjka Industrija: 14,3 %
F. Injury
15. With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from Yugoslavia of basic chromium sulphate increased from 2 342 tonnes in 1981 to 3 620 tonnes in 1982 and to 4 258 tonnes in 1983. During the first nine months of 1984 these imports amounted to 1 995 tonnes, which corresponds to 2 660 tonnes on an annual basis. With regard to the imports of the product concerned originating in Yugoslavia into Italy they increased from 1 227 tonnes in 1981 to 2 900 tonnes in 1982. In 1983 these imports amounted to 4 195 tonnes and during the first nine months of 1984 to 1 909 tonnes, which corresponds to 2 545 tonnes on an annual basis.
16. The development of the imports originating in Yugoslavia into the Community corresponds to an increase in the market share held by the product concerned originating in Yugoslavia in the Community from 5,7 % in 1981 to 9,9 % in 1982 and to 11,5 % in 1983. The market share held by the Yugoslav product amounted to 8,2 % during the first nine months of 1984. With regard to the market share held by the Yugoslav product on the Italian market, it increased from 6,2 % in 1981 to 16 % in 1982 and to 21,9 % in 1983. During the first nine months of 1984 it amounted to 16,6 % the market share held by other Community producerson the Italian market having increased from 27,9 % in 1983 to 32,3 % during the first nine months of 1984.
17. The weighted average resale prices of these dumped imports undercut the prices of the Italian producer during the period under investigation by up to 16 %.
18. The production of the Italian producer decreased by 2,1 % and 3 % in 1982 and 1983 respectively. During the first nine months of 1984 it decreased by another 0,5 %. The capacity utilization of the Italian producer decreased from 70,6 % in 1981 to 69,1 % in 1982 and to 67,0 % in 1983. During the first nine months of 1984 it dropped further to 66,7 %.
19. The stocks held by the Italian producer increased by 272 % betweeen 1981 and 1982 when the market share held by the Yugoslavian product on the Italian market increased most. i. ĂŠ. from 6,2 % to 16 %. In 1983 the stocks held by the Italian producer remained at the same level as in 1982. Although the stocks of this product decreased by 19 % towards the end of the first nine months of 1984, they remained 200 % above the 1981 level.
20. The sales of the Italian producer on the Italian market decreased by 30 % between 1981 and 1982. In 1983 they decreased by 12,3 % and during the first nine months of 1984 by an estimated 16,2 %. The Italian producer would have been even more affected had he not been able to make significant increases in his sales outside the Community. However, these sales were made at less attractive prices than those realized on the domestic market and consequently affected the profitability of the Italian producer. 21. The market share of the Italian producer on his domestic market decreased from 70,0 % in 1981 to 53,3 % in 1982 and to 46,0 % in 1983. During the first nine months of 1984 it further decreased to 44,9 %.
22. Since 1983 the Italian producer started realizing a smaller profit on his sales of the product concerned on the Italian market, mainly because he was not able to increase his sales prices in order to keep up with his increased costs, and his total sales of the product concerned even resulted in losses.
23. Furthermore, in order to meet the competition from the Yugoslavian product the Italian producer decided to start selling, as of 1982, significant quantities of his own product packaged in neutral bags at prices comparable to the import prices but considerably lower than the prices charged for the product sold under his own brand name. Furthermore, the Italian producer started, as of 1983, purchasing from an importer in another Member State and reselling the Yugoslav product in order to protect his customer base. However, in 1984 the Italian producer ceased this practice because he was unable to cover the distribution costs of these goods in view of the particularly low prices charged by several Italian importers who imported the Yugoslav product directly from Yugoslavia. Despite the import and resale of the Yugoslav product by the Italian producer, the latter was not able to maintain the market share of his own production (i. e. excluding imported goods).
24. With regard to the impact on the other main Community producer of the product concerned, who has a production capacity comparable to that of the Italian producer and who in 1983 had an estimated market share of approximately 20 % on the Italian market, it was found that his average sales price in Italy decreased by approximately 5 % during the period 1982 to 1983. Furthermore, during the first nine months of 1984 this producer had to align his sales prices of the product concerned in Italy to the level of the resale prices of the Yugoslav product.
25. The Commission has considered whether the abovementioned problems faced by the Italian producer who represents a major proportion of the Community industry have been caused by factors other than those relating to the dumped imports, such as the increase in sales made by other Community producers on the Italian market. However, the substantial increase in dumped imports between 1981 and 1983 and the prices at which they were offered for sale in Italy, the part of Community market in which these imports were mainly made, led the Commission to determine that dumped imports of basic chromium sulphate, originating in Yugoslavia taken in isolation, have to be considered as being a major source of the problems faced by a major proportion of the Community industry concerned and that these imports were, therefore, through the effects of dumping, causing material injury to that industry. The trend of diminished imports of the Yugoslavian product during the first nine months of 1984 is not considered a sufficient reason for not taking any action.
G. Community interest
26. In view of the particularly serious difficulties facing the Community industry, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. In order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding, this action should take the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty.
H. Rate of duty
27. Having regard to the extent of the injury suffered by the Italian producer, the rate of such duty should be less than the margins of dumping provisionally established. The problems which the Italian producer was facing were not exclusively due to the dumped imports. The level of the diminished Yugoslav imports and the increased sales on the Italian market by another Community producer make it appropriate to impose the rate of anti-dumping duty which it is considered will eliminate that proportion of the Italian producer's difficulties which is regarded as attributable to the injury caused by the dumping.
28. Having taken into account, on the one hand, the selling price necessary to provide an adequate profit to the Community industry and, on the other hand, the purchase price of the importer who supplied information to the Commission and his costs and profit margin, the Commission determined the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury caused by the dumped imports to be 10 %.
29. A period should be fixed within which the parties concerned may make their views known and request a hearing.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of basic chromium sulphate falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 28.38 A IV corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 28.38-49 and originating in Yugoslavia.
2. The amount of the duty shall be equal to 10,0 % of the price per tonne net, free at Community frontier, before duty.
The free at Community frontier prices shall be net if the conditions of sale provide for payment within 30 days from the date of shipment; they shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each respective increase or reduction of one month in the period for payment.
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
4. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the logdging of a security, equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, the parties concerned may make known their views in writing and apply to be heard by the Commission within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 it shall apply for a period of four months, unless the Council adopts definitive measures before the expiry of that period.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/91 (2), and in particular Article 5 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for a premium to be granted to compensate for any loss of income sustained by any producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat producers is granted (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (4); whereas
Article 5
(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for the possibility of premiums being granted to producers holding females of the ovine species of certain mountain breeds other than eligible ewes in certain areas; whereas those ewes and those areas are specified in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down the general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat producers (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1970/87 (6);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the Member States were authorized by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2099/91 (7) to pay an initial advance and by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2387/91 (8) to pay a second advance to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers; whereas those advances were paid during the 1991 marketing year in certain Member States; whereas the Member States were authorized by Regulation (EEC) No 2099/91 to pay the total specific aid for sheep and goat farming introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90 (9), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1743/91 (10), in certain less-favoured areas of the Community; whereas the balance to be paid to producers in those Member States should therefore be fixed;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 23 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium per ewe and per region payable to producers of heavy lambs in respect of the 1991 marketing year is to be calculated by multiplying the income loss referred to in paragraph 4 of that Article by a coefficient expressing, for each region, the annual average production of heavy lambmeat per ewe producing such lambs, expressed in terms of 100 kilograms of carcase weight; whereas the premium payable per ewe to producers of light lambs and the premium payable per she-goat and per rustic mountain breed female is 70 % of the amount payable per ewe to producers of heavy lambs; whereas in Region 1 the income loss must be reduced by the weighted average of the variable premiums actually granted and of the forseeable premiums for the remainder of the 1991 marketing year, that average being obtained in accordance with Article 24 (4) of that Regulation;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers (11), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3797/91 (12), where the premium does not exceed a certain amount, it is not paid and that amount is added to the premium payable per ewe in respect of the following marketing year; whereas this situation has arisen with regard to the premium payable in Greece for 1990 and the 1990 premium should accordingly be added to the premium payable in Greece in 1991;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 24 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the losses of income in Great Britain on the one hand (impact of the non-deducted variable premium) and in Ireland and Northern Ireland on the other hand, and the coefficients expressing the annual average production of lambmeat per ewe are to be gradually merged into a single income loss and single coefficients in proportion to the actual dismantling of the variable slaughter premium during each marketing year;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 23 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, for the 1991 marketing year Greece was authorized to apply the arrangements provided for in Article 22 (6) of that Regulation;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in Article 8 (2) of that Regulation; whereas that coefficient was fixed provisionally by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3546/90 of 7 December 1990 on the application of the arrangements for limiting guarantees in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors for the 1991 marketing year and altering the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 (13); whereas that coefficient was subsequently corrected by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 852/92 (14);
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
A difference is hereby ascertained between the basic price less the impact of the coefficient provided for in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and the market price during the 1991 marketing year for the following regions:

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 25(1) thereof,
Having regard to the list of candidates submitted to the Council by the European Commission,
Having regard to the views expressed by the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) It is vital to ensure the independence, high scientific quality, transparency and efficiency of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Cooperation with Member States is also indispensable.
(2) Half of the members of the EFSA Management Board are to finish their term of office on 30 June 2012. Three of those members have a background in organisations representing consumers and other interests in the food chain.
(3) The list submitted by the Commission has been examined with a view to appointing seven new members of the EFSA Management Board on the basis of the documentation provided by the Commission and in the light of the views expressed by the European Parliament. The aim is to secure the highest standard of competence, a broad range of relevant expertise, for instance in management and in public administration, and the broadest possible geographic distribution within the Union.
(4) In examining the list submitted by the Commission, the Council has taken account of the fact that the Commission is to proceed without delay to replace a member who recently resigned from the EFSA Management Board by way of a separate procedure and is to submit a list of candidates to that effect in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
(5) The Council has also taken account of the fact that one of the current EFSA Management Board members whose mandate is to expire on 30 June 2014 may, due to a change in his professional activities, be regarded as a member with a background in organisations representing other interests in the food chain.
(6) The Decision of 24 June 2010 appointing half of the members of the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority (2) should therefore be amended accordingly,
The following persons shall be appointed as members of the Management Board of the European Food Safety Authority for the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2016:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The authorisation to use metaldehyde in organic farming provided for in part B of Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 expired on 31 March 2006.
(2) Several Member States have indicated that organic farmers on their territory do not have any viable alternative to the use of metaldehyde for controlling molluscs in certain arable crops.
(3) It is therefore considered necessary to reintroduce for a limited period of time the authorisation to use metaldehyde, while awaiting the results of research for new methods to control molluscs and an increased availability of alternative substances.
(4) Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the establishment of a single price system for rice entails replacing national systems of regionalized intervention prices, limited to the territory of each producer Member State by a uniform Community system ; whereas changed patterns of trade between surplus and deficit areas in the Community should result therefrom;
Whereas it is not yet possible to make a final decision on adapting the market to the new regionalized prices for rice on a Community scale and to the disappearance of price zones which had been created by the barrier of intra-Community levies;
Whereas, moreover, harvests of all or several varieties of rice, which in certain regions of the Community differed substantially from the average for previous years, could in those regions temporarily bring about a change in market prices not found elsewhere in the Community;
Whereas in consequence intervention agencies might have to buy in large quantities in certain regions without this measure being required by the long-term trend of markets in the Community;
Whereas provision should therefore be made for preventive measures to enable trade to support the market in those regions for a given period;
Whereas, in view of the uniformity which should characterize the Community market in rice, such measures should be assessed and decided upon from a Community viewpoint,
If in any region of the Community market prices show a fall or a weakness which, in the case of rice or certain varieties of rice and in view of the size of the harvest or regional stocks and their geographical situation, could oblige the intervention agency to buy in large quantities, the Member State concerned may request the Commission to authorize the intervention agency, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, to take special intervention measures on the paddy rice market in accordance with Article 6 of that Regulation. The decision of the Commission shall be taken within 12 working days following that on which the request was made.
The Member State shall state the reasons for its request and for the measures which it considers should be adopted and shall indicate the intended duration of their application.
1. Council Regulation (EEC) No 446/68 of 9 April 1968 on special intervention measures for rice (2) is hereby repealed.
2. References to the Regulation repealed by paragraph 1 shall be construed as references to this Regulation.

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 (1), and in particular Article 164(2), final subparagraph, and Article 170 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162 to 164 and 167 to 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).
(5) The conditions laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provide for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 343/2008 (6) should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(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,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) Nos 852/2004 and 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 7/100 kg.

Whereas Directive 75/276/EEC (4) indicates which areas in the United Kingdom are included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Government of the United Kingdom has requested an extension, via a redefinition, of its less-favoured areas ; whereas Directive 75/276/EEC should therefore be replaced by this Directive;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Government of the United Kingdom has informed the Commission that it wishes six areas to be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas and has supplied information concerning the characteristics of the areas in question;
Whereas the following criteria of the presence of infertile land as referred to in Article 3 (4) (a) of Directive 75/268/EEC were used to determine each of the zones in question : grassland accounting for more than 70 % of the total utilized agricultural area, a stocking rate of less than one livestock unit per forage hectare and farm rents not exceeding 65 % of the national average;
Whereas the concept of economic results of farming appreciably below average, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (b) of Directive 75/268/EEC, was adopted in terms of a labour income per man-work unit not exceeding 80 % of the national average;
Whereas low population density, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (c) of Directive 75/268/EEC, was defined as not more than 55 inhabitants per square kilometre, excluding the population of urban and industrial centres (the national and Community averages being 229 and 163 inhabitants per square kilometre respectively) ; whereas, excluding the urban and industrial centres, the minimum percentage of the total working population engaged in agriculture is 30 %;
Whereas for defining the areas affected by specific handicaps that may be classified as less-favoured areas as referred to in Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the criterion was the existence of both adverse natural production conditions (steep slopes, very strong winds, poor drainage) and handicaps resulting from the geographical situation (island location) ; whereas, moreover, the extent of the less-favoured areas in question does not exceed 2,5 % of the Member State's area;
Whereas the type and level of the abovementioned criteria used by the Government of the United Kingdom to determine the areas communicated to the Commission comply with the characteristics of less-favoured farming areas referred to in Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC, (1) OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1.

The areas of the territory of the United Kingdom listed in the Annex shall be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC.
Directive 75/276/EEC is hereby repealed.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas in view of the special situation of the potatostarch industry, Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 makes provision for the possibility of taking whatever measures may be necessary in this sector;
Whereas in view of the absence of a common organization of the market in potatoes it is appropriate to fix a minimum price payable to the potato producer by the starch manufacturer upon delivery; whereas the particular constraints, notably of a structural nature, weighing upon the potato starch manufacturing industry justify a corrective provision in favour of that industry;
Whereas that compensation may be made by the payment of an appropriate special premium; whereas the granting of this premium to the potato-starch industry should be subject to the condition that the minimum price has been paid to the potato grower;
Whereas on account of the connection between the production prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of cereals and potato starches and of the interchangeability of these two products, a balanced relationship must be maintained between the prices of those products,
1. Manufacturers of potato starch shall pay to producers of potatoes for the quantity of potatoes needed to manufacture one tonne of potato starch a minimum factory gate price fixed by the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission.
2. The minimum price paid to the potato producer shall be determined on the basis of the quantity of potatoes supplied to the starch manufacturer, and the starch content of the potatoes at the time of delivery.
1. For the marketing years 1986/87, 1987/88 and 1988/89, Member States shall pay to producers of potato starch a premium of 18,70 ECU per tonne of potato starch produced.
2. To qualify for the premium referred to in paragraph 1, the potato starch manufacturer must have fulfilled the requirement to pay the potato producer the minimum price laid down in Article 1.
3. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall, before 1 April 1989, decide on the measures to be applied with effect from the beginning of the 1989/90 marketing year.
The detailed rules for applying this Regulation, and the minimum price referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the beginning of the 1986/87 cereal marketing year.

Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney, whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey,
Whereas toltrazuril and amitraz should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas clazuril, aluminium distearate, aluminium hydroxide acetate, aluminium phosphate, aluminium tristearate, ammonium chloride, cobalt carbonate, cobalt dichloride, cobalt gluconate, cobalt oxide, cobalt sulphate, cobalt trioxide, iron sulphate, terebinthinae laricina, coco alkyl dimethyl betaines, diprophylline, hexetidine, polyethylene glycol 15 hydroxystearate, polyethylene glycol 7 glyceryl cocoate, polyethylene glycol stearates with 8-40 oxyethylene units, prethcamide (crotethamide, cropropamide), terpin hydrate, balsamum peruvianum, oxidation products of terebinthinae oleum, ricini oleum and terebinthinae aetheroleum rectificatum and iron dichloride should be inserted into Annex II to

Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

31998D0315 | 98/315/EC: Council Decision of 1 May 1998 abrogating the Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit for the United Kingdom
| COUNCIL DECISION of 1 May 1998 abrogating the Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit for the United Kingdom (98/315/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104c(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas the second stage for achieving economic and monetary union started on 1 January 1994; whereas Article 109e(4) of the Treaty lays down that, in the second stage, Member States shall endeavour to avoid excessive government deficits;
Whereas there is an excessive deficit procedure which provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit and, after the excessive deficit has been corrected, for the abrogation of that decision; whereas, during the second stage, the excessive deficit procedure is determined by Article 104c of the Treaty, excluding paragraphs 1, 9 and 11; whereas the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure; whereas Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (1) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the said Protocol;
Whereas, following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104c(6) of the Treaty, the Council decided on 26 September 1994 that an excessive deficit existed in the United Kingdom; whereas, in accordance with Article 104c(7), the Council made recommendations to the United Kingdom with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end (2);
Whereas a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated, in accordance with the provisions of Article 104c(12) of the Treaty, to the extent that the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected;
Whereas, when abrogating the Decision, the Council is to act on a recommendation from the Commission; whereas, based on the data provided by the Commission after reporting by the United Kingdom before 1 March 1998 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 3605/93, the following conclusions are warranted:
The government deficit in the United Kingdom has been declining significantly since 1993 and reached 1,9 % of GDP in 1997, which is well below the Treaty reference value. A further decline in the deficit to 0,6 % of GDP is forecast for 1998. According to the 1997 convergence programme for the United Kingdom, the government accounts are projected to show a surplus by the end of the decade.
The government debt ratio has never been above the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value; after having increased for several years, it fell to 53,4 % of GDP in 1997.
The deficit was well below the Treaty reference value in 1997 and is expected to remain so in 1998 and to turn into a surplus in the medium term; the government debt ratio remains below the Treaty reference value,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in the United Kingdom has been corrected.
The Council Decision of 26 September 1994 on the existence of an excessive deficit in the United Kingdom is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

2. The conformity of equipment to the requirements of this Directive shall be attested by the manufacturer or by the importer, under the latter's responsibility, by the affixing of a mark which conforms to the specimen shown in Annex III or by a declaration which conforms to the specimen shown in Annex IV.
Member States shall ensure that the services provided with the help of equipment meeting the requirements of this Directive are reimbursed on the same terms as the services provided with the help of equipment meeting the criteria required under the provisions in force within their territory- as regards the authorized applications and minimum requirements for the equipment.
The following shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6: - any amendments to Annex I made necessary by the adaptation to technical progress of the harmonized standards by the relevant standards organization,
- any amendments to Annex I which are desirable because of adaptation to technical progress where the relevant standards organization has not made the corresponding amendments to the harmonized standard.
In the latter case, the amendments shall be notified to the competent standards organization.

3. (a) Where the proposed measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee the Commission shall adopt them.
(b) Where the proposed measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall without delay submit to the Council a proposal on the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.
(c) If, within three months of the proposal being submitted to it, the Council has not acted, the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.
1. If a Member State determines, on the basis of a substantiated justification, that one or more appliances, although complying with the requirements of this Directive, represent a hazard to safety, it may provisionally prohibit the sale, free movement or use of the appliance or appliances on its territory or make it subject to special conditions. It shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof, stating the grounds for its decision.
2. The Commission shall, within six weeks, consult the Member States concerned, following which it shall deliver its opinion without delay and take the appropriate steps.
3. If the Commission is of the opinion that technical adaptations to the Directive are necessary, such adaptations shall be adopted by either the Commission or the Council in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6. In that case, the Member State which has adopted the safeguard measures may maintain them until the entry into force of the adaptations.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the marks and declaration of conformity referred to in Article 2 are issued by the manufacturer or the importer only under the conditions laid down in the Directive.
2. Member States shall make all necessary arrangements to ensure adequate surveillance of the manufacture of the equipment.

(notified under document number C(2009) 1136)
(Only the German text is authentic)
(2009/159/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2008/671/EC of 5 August 2008 on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 875-5 905 MHz frequency band for safety-related applications of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to request of Austria of 25 November 2008,
Whereas:
(1) Under Decision 2008/671/EC, Member States have to designate and make available, on a non-exclusive basis, the 5 875-5 905 MHz frequency band for intelligent transport systems (ITS) subject to specific parameters, no later than 6 February 2009.
(2) Article 3(2) of Decision 2008/671/EC states that, by way of derogation, Member States may request transitional periods and/or radio spectrum sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision No 676/2002/EC.
(3) Austria has informed the Commission that, since this band is currently assigned on an exclusive basis to point-to-point radio systems for electronic news gathering (ENG), it is not in a position to implement the requirements set out in Decision 2008/671/EC on time.
(4) Authorisation to install and operate ENG point-to-point systems has been granted by the Austrian authorities to the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation in 1989 and is valid without geographical or time limits throughout Austria. Austria has stated that the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation will adopt new ENG point-to-point transmission equipment so as to operate in a different band and has agreed to abandon its authorisation regarding the use of the 5 875-5 905 MHz frequency band by 31 December 2011. As from 1 January 2012, the 5 875-5 905 MHz band will become fully available for safety-related ITS applications, in accordance with Decision 2008/671/EC.
(5) Austria has formally requested, by letter to the Commission of 25 November a transitional period during which ITS can be used in Austria only within time and regional limits to be set after coordination by the authorities responsible in Austria for spectrum management with the ENG point-to-point systems operated by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation.
(6) Austria has provided sufficient information and technical justification in support of its request, based in particular on conclusions by the CEPT that harmful interference may occur between point-to-point systems and safety-related ITS systems, unless measures are taken at national level to ensure coexistence between these systems. Such harmful interference could potentially cause major traffic accidents.
(7) A total ban on the use of the 5 875-5 905 MHz band by ITS would be limited to small sections of Austria and to short periods of time. The use of this band by ITS would continue to be permitted in the rest of Austria subject to coordination by the authorities responsible in Austria for spectrum management. The derogation would therefore not significantly impact on the deployment of ITS technology in Austria, especially as the commercial availability of such systems is expected to be rather limited until 2011.
(8) Given the exceptional nature of the derogation, a report on the evolution of the situation in Austria for ITS and ENG would be beneficial for the smooth handling of the transitional period.
(9) The members of the Radio Spectrum Committee stated at their meeting on 17 December 2008 that they do not object to this transitional derogation.
(10) The requested derogation would not unduly defer implementation of Decision 2008/671/EC or create undue differences in the competitive or regulatory situations between Member States. There is sufficient justification for this in view of the particular situation of Austria, and full implementation of Decision 2008/671/EC needs to be facilitated in Austria,
Austria is authorised to derogate from its obligations under Decision 2008/671/EC on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 875-5 905 MHz frequency band for safety-related applications of intelligent transport systems (ITS), subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision.
Until 31 December 2011, Austria may impose time and geographical limits on the use of the 5 875-5 905 MHz frequency band for safety-related applications of ITS in order to ensure coordination with the point-to-point systems operated by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation in that band.
Austria shall submit a report to the Commission by 30 June 2011 on the implementation of this Decision.

Whereas recent experience has shown an abnormal growth in imports of edible olive oil and refined olive oil put up in containers of five litres or less ; whereas there is a risk that this oil will not be released for consumption directly in an unaltered state but will be repacked with a view to its qualifying for consumption aid ; whereas, in order to limit this risk, it appears advisable to reduce, for a limited period, the capacity of containers in respect of which no security is required;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2041/75 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1479/79 (6), specifies the entries which must appear in section 12 of the import licence ; whereas these entries need to be adapted following the amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 557/79;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 557/79 is amended as follows: 1. A further subparagraph, as follows, is added to Article 13 (1):
"However, during the period 4 July to 31 October 1980, only olive oil of subheadings 15.07 A I a) and 15.07 A II of the Common Customs Tariff put up in immediate containers of a net content of one litre or less shall be exempt from the requirement that security be lodged."
2. A further subparagraph, as follows, is added to Article 14 (1):
"or
(e) it has been demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, that oil of subheadings 15.07 A I a) and 15.07 A II of the Common Customs Tariff imported during the period 4 July to 31 October 1980 in immediate containers of more than one litre but not more than five litres has been released without further treatment in the original containers for consumption on the market of the said Member State."

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a coresponsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1113/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the promotional and publicity measures first carried out pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 723/78 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1223/78 (4) ans last continued by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 381/89 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3748/89 (6), have proved an effective means of expanding the markets in milk products in the Community; whereas they should therefore be continued and completed during the 1990/91 milk year;
Whereas the organizations representing the dairy sector in one or more Member States or in the Community should be invited again to propose detailed programmes which these organizations would themselves carry out;
Whereas the organizations who will be responsible for the measures must satisfy certain requirements; whereas, in particular, care must be taken to ensure the Community milk products are promoted; whereas the guidelines to be followed in this context were laid down in Commission communication 86/C 272/03 concerning State involvement in the promotion of agricultural and fisheries products (7); whereas the activities of such operators must not be liable to clash with the aim pursued in promoting the disposal of milk products for direct consumption; whereas it is therefore essential that operators whose activities also cover the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products should be barred;
Whereas an integrated market survey should be carried out again to ascertain the effectiveness of the measures implemented and a promotion strategy should be worked out;
Whereas the other rules can, for the most part, be drawn from the earlier Regulations, account being taken of relevant experience;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. Publicity and promotional measures advocating human consumption of milk and milk products in the Community shall be encouraged under the conditions laid down in this Regulation.

- the implementation of an integrated market survey to ascertain the effectivenes of the measures carried out,
- the elaboration of a strategy for the long-term planning of publicity measures,
- the creation of a Community symbol to identify the genuine milk and milk products,
- the continuation of a pan-Europe information programme at Community level.

3. These measures shall be carried out within a year of the signature of the contract referred to in Article 5 (3) and in any case before 1 October 1991. However, a longer time limit may be agreed in exceptional cases in accordance with Article 5 (2) to ensure maximum effectiveness of the measure in question.
4. The time limit fixed in paragraph 3 shall not prevent subsequent agreement to an extension of that limit where the party to a contract, before the fixed expiry date, makes the appropriate application to the competent
authority and proves that, due to exceptional circumstances beyond his control, he is unable to meet the dreadline originally stipulated. However, this extension may not exceed six months.
5. Subject to a contract as referred to in Article 5 (3) being concluded, measures carried out from 1 February 1990 shall be eligible for the Communitgy contribution and in the case of concentrated butter this date shall be 1 January 1990.

- not replace similar measures but, where appropriate, expand them.
Proposals put forward by organizations whose activities are exclusively or in part concerned with the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products shall not be taken into consideration.
2. The measures referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out by bodies which:
(a) have the necessary qualifications and experience;
(b) ensure the satisfactory completion of the work.
3. The Community contribution is fixed at 90 %, with the exception of measures as referred to in the second to fifth indents of Article 1 (2) for which the contribution is increased to 100 %.

fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats [1], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001 [2], and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 [3], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77 [4].
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 July 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the Azores and Madeira (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 33 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 93/522/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 96/633/EC (4), defines what measures are eligible for Community financing as regards programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas specific agricultural production conditions in Madeira call for particular attention, and action must be taken or reinforced as regards crop production, in particular the phytosanitary aspects for this region;
Whereas the action to be taken or reinforced on the phytosanitary side is particularly costly;
Whereas the programme of action is to be presented to the Commission by the relevant Portuguese authorities; whereas this programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost so that the Community may contribute to financing them;
Whereas the Community's financial contribution may cover up to 75 % of eligible expenditure, protective measures for bananas excluded;
Whereas the plant protection operations in Madeira provided for in the Operational Programme and the Community Initiative REGIS II for the period 1994 to 1999 and financed from the Structural Funds cannot be the same as those contained in this programme;
Whereas the operations provided for in the European Community Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development cannot be the same as those contained in this programme;
Whereas the measures foreseen in the environmental programme approved for the Region of Madeira in the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/95 (6), cannot be the same as those contained in this programme;
Whereas the technical information provided by Portugal has enabled the Standing Committee on Plant Health to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Community's financial contribution to the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products on the Island of Madeira presented for 1997 by the relevant Portuguese authorities is hereby approved.
The official programme is made up of three sub-programmes:
1. a sub-programme for the autocidal control of the fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Wied);
2. a sub-programme for the control of the white citrus fly (Aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell);
3. a sub-programme for the control of Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood.
The Community contribution to financing the programme is limited to 75 % maximum of expenditure on eligible measures as defined by Commission Decision 93/522/EEC, and is set for 1997 at ECU 650 000 out of total expenditure of ECU 1 066 666 (VAT excluded).
The schedule of programme costs and their financing is set out as Annex I to this Decision. In the case when the total eligible expenditure for 1997 presented by Portugal would be less than the forecast amount of ECU 1 066 666, the Community's contribution would be reduced in proportion.
The Community reimbursement will be made in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Article and the financial rate of the ecu on 1 February 1997, i.e. ECU 1 = Esc 195,106.
A first instalment of ECU 300 000 shall be paid to Portugal immediately after the official notification of the present Decision.
The Community assistance shall relate to the eligible measures associated with the operations covered by the programme set up in Portugal by provisions for which the necessary financial resources have been committed between 1 December 1996 and 30 September 1997. The final date for payments in connection with the operations shall be 31 December 1997, and non-compliance without justification of delay shall entail loss of entitlement to Community financing.
In the case where a request for extension of the final date for payment is necessary, the responsible official authorities have to introduce this request before the final date and present the justification concerning this request.
Specific provisions relating to the financing of the programme, provisions on compliance with Community policies and the information to be provided to the Commission by Portugal are set out in Annex II.
Any public contracts in connection with investments covered by this Decision shall be subject to Community law.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 68/193/EEC of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by France, Italy and Austria,
Whereas in the Community, in particular in France, Italy and Austria the production of certain vine propagating materials satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC, has been insufficient in 1997 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Austria should therefore be authorised to permit the marketing, for a period expiring on 15 February 1999 and France and Italy for a period expiring on 30 March 1999, of material of a category to which less stringent requirements apply;
Whereas other Member States likely to supply France, Italy or Austria with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end;
Whereas in the case of Austria the propagating material will be imported in the forms of rootstock cuttings to be used for grafting; whereas, according to the request, the rooted grafts produced in the Community from such propagating material are then intended to be marketed in the Community;
Whereas in the case of France and Italy the propagating material will be imported in the form of dormant buds to be used for grafting; whereas, according to the requests, the rooted grafts produced in the Community from such propagating material are then intended for export to third countries;
Whereas this authorisation may only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (2), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/2/EC (3), and in any implementing measures made thereof;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Austria is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 15 February 1999, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 1 500 000 rootstock cuttings for grafting, which have been harvested in Hungary or Romania and which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagation material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.
2. Austria is authorised to permit the marketing in its territory of rooted grafts produced in the Community from the abovementioned rootstock cuttings for grafting, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.
Italy is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 30 March 1999, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 500 000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Croatia which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.
France is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 30 March 1999, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 150 000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Switzerland which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) It is advisable to adopt measures that would ensure compliance with the conditions for certain tariff quotas for imports of high quality beef into the Community.
(2) Discussions with the countries exporting high quality beef within the EC-WTO tariff quotas of 11 000 t, 5 000 t and 4 000 t respectively have revealed the need to better adapt the import conditions for these quotas.
(3) To clarify the situation, it is appropriate to allocate the relevant tariff quotas for which Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are the sole suppliers to the respective country.
(4) The Commission should subsequently adopt definitions which are more easily auditable and verifiable in accordance with the procedure foreseen in Article 32(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1) so as to allow for an ex post verification and audit of the definition compliance, without changing the basic import conditions,
The conditions for the EC-WTO tariff quotas of 11 000 t, 5 000 t and 4 000 t respectively for imports of high quality beef of CN codes 0201 30 00, 0202 30 90, 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91 into the Community shall apply as specified in the Annex to this regulation.

(2) In its communication to the European Parliament and the Council of 10 June 2004 concerning the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming, the Commission announced that it will propose an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 replacing the current national derogations for imports by a new permanent system making use of technical equivalency evaluations by bodies assigned by the Community for that purpose.
(3) Sufficient time is needed to develop and establish this new permanent system.
(4) In the meanwhile, trade in organic products should not be unnecessarily disrupted and therefore the existing transitional measures should be extended for another year.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 11(6)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by the date ‘31 December 2006’.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 (1) of 21 April 1970 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco, and in particular Article 13 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 13 (6) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 provides that where, for a variety or a group of varieties, the quantities of tobacco taken over by the intervention agencies exceed a fixed percentage of production or a given quantity, the Council shall examine the situation on the basis of a report which the Commission shall submit to it at the end of the marketing year;
Whereas when those percentages and quantities are exceeded the Council adopts any measures needed to redress the balance between production and demand and to reduce stocks and, if the price mechanism is not sufficient to give production the desired direction, specific measures which may include, for each variety in question, a lowering of the intervention price and total or partial exclusion of the qualities of tobacco of the variety in question from intervention buying;
Whereas, if a fifth of the production of a variety or group of varieties of tobacco is taken over by the intervention agencies, this would seem to indicate an imbalance between production and disposal of the variety or group of varieties in question ; whereas percentages should therefore be fixed on these lines;
Whereas it is also necessary to fix the quantities referred to in Article 13 (1) of the abovementioned Regulation for each variety or group of varieties of tobacco ; whereas the quantities used for that purpose should correspond to the percentages which have been fixed in terms of the average production of the variety in question during a representative period preceding the introduction of the common organisation of the market;
Whereas certain varieties of tobacco have similar characteristics and are used for the same purpose ; whereas, therefore, they should be grouped together when fixing percentage and quality;
Whereas Article 13 (6) of the abovementioned Regulation provides for the fixing of a percentage of Community production for all the varieties of tobacco for which it has been decided to grant a premium ; whereas, if production exceeds this percentage of the average production of those varieties during the three previous crop years, the Commission must submit to the Council a report analysing the causes and consequences of that situation and proposing measures to remove the causes of any imbalance between production and demand;
Whereas certain variations in the quantities of tobacco produced in the Community are unavoidable, in particular for climatic reasons ; whereas a variation of around 20 %, besides offsetting the effect of such normal variations, may be considered sufficient to indicate substantial increases in production;
The percentages and quantities referred to in Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 are fixed as shown in the Annex. (1)OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 1.
The percentage referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 13 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 is fixed at 120 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 27 May 1982, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Matec - Pulse Modulator and Receiver, model 6600", ordered on 19 March 1982 and to be used to provide the ultrasonic driving pulse and timing circuity required to make pulse echo measurements of the transit time of ultrasonic waves across single crystals in the vicinity of phase transitions, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met, on 15 November 1982, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a pulse modulator ; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the generation field of the pulses and the use to which it is put, make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities ; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community ; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as "Matec - Pulse Modulator and Receiver, model 6600", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 27 May 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

(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 7 September 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) Nos 2305/2003 (5), 969/2006 (6) and 1067/2008 (7) lay down specific provisions on the lodging of import licence applications and the issuing of import licences for barley under quota 09.4126, maize under quota 09.4131 and common wheat of a quality other than high quality under quotas 09.4123, 09.4124, 09.4125 and 09.4133.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 12 October 1998 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards self-supporting translucent roof kits (except glass-based kits) (notified under document number C(1998) 2926) (Text with EEA relevance) (98/600/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory-production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory-production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory-production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 71 thereof,
Having regard to High Authority Recommendation No 1/64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by Recommendation 88/27/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas certain iron and steel products indispensable to the manufacture of certain goods and having very special physical and chemical characteristics are not produced in the Community, or are produced in insufficient quantities; whereas for a number of years insufficiency has been overcome by duty-free tariff quotas; whereas Community producers are still not in a position to comply with the present quality requirements put forward by the users; whereas duty-free quotas at a level securing the supply of users are consequently required;
Whereas import of these products on preferential terms is not injurious to iron and steel undertakings in the Community which produce directly competing products;
Whereas neither this suspension of duties nor these tariff quotas are likely to jeopardize the objectives of Recommendation No 1/64, but will help to maintain existing trade flows between Member States and non-member countries;
Whereas these are special cases in the commercial policy field justifying the authorization of derogations pursuant to Article 3 of Recommendation No 1/64;
Whereas provision should be made pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 71 of the Treaty, to ensure that the quotas granted will be used solely to supply the needs of industries in the importing countries and that re-export in the unaltered state to other Member States of the imported iron and steel products will be prevented;
Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the tariff quotas set out below,
Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority Recommendation No 1/64 to the extent necessary to suspend at the levels indicated the customs duties on the products set out below, within tariff quotas of the amounts indicated for the Member States concerned:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 105a(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (3),
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 975/98 (4) sets out the technical specifications of the eight denominations included in the first series of euro coins; whereas the mint directors have drawn up, on the basis of that Regulation, the more detailed specifications necessary for production;
Whereas the vending industry, having examined those detailed specifications, has requested an increase of the weight of the 50 cent coin in order to ensure clearer differentiation of that coin and reduce risks of fraud; whereas the European Blind Union, having tested samples from the first production runs, has complained about the edge milling of the 50 cent and 10 cent coins which did not match the milling of the samples agreed by it during the consultation process preceding the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 975/88; whereas, in order to ensure the acceptance of the new system by the users, it seems desirable to accede to the requests expressed both by the vending industry and the European Blind Union; whereas in order to satisfy the vending industry's requirements, it is necessary to increase the weight of the 50 cent coin from 7 g to 7,8 g; whereas in order to satisfy the European Blind Union's requirements and avoid any risk of misinterpretation in the future, it is desirable to modify the specification for the edge of the 50 cent and 10 cent coins from 'coarse milling` to 'shaped edge with fine scallops` which better reflects the shape of the edge originally agreed by the European Blind Union for those two coins;
Whereas it is essential that the modifications of the technical specifications be confined to the weight of the 50 cent coin and the edge of the 10 cent and 50 cent coins in order not to compromise the production timetable and the introduction of the euro coins on 1 January 2002,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 975/98, the table shall be amended as follows:
(1) The fourth row relating to the 50 cent coin shall be amended as follows:
(a) in the third column, the figure '1,69` shall be replaced by '1,88`;
(b) in the fourth column, the figure '7` shall be replaced by '7,8`;
(c) in the eighth column, the words 'coarse milled` shall be replaced by 'shaped edge with fine scallops`.
(2) In the sixth row relating to the 10 cent coin, in the eighth column, the words 'coarse milled` shall be replaced by 'shaped edge with fine scallops`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1999.

of 18 November 1986
determining for the Member States the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of the premium payable per ewe and per female goat for the 1986 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 882/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the granting of a premium to compensate for the loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat, and in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 (3); whereas Article 5 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the possibility of the granting of premiums to producers of female sheep of certain mountain breeds other than eligible ewes in certain areas; whereas the sheep and the areas in question are defined in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down the general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat producers (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3524/85 (5);
Whereas pursuant to Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers operating in less-favoured agricultural areas, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices;
Whereas under Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 the amount of the premium per ewe and per region is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in Article 5 (2) by a coefficient expressing for each region the normal annual average production of lamb meat per ewe expressed per 100 kilograms of carcase weight; whereas, however, for region 5 this loss of income must be reduced by the weighted average of the variable premiums actually granted and the foreseeable premiums for the remainder of the 1986 marketing year, such average being obtained in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 (6); whereas also under Article 5 (3) the amount of the premium for female goat is fixed at 80 % of the premium per ewe; whereas under Article 5 (9) the amount of the premim for female sheep other than eligible ewes is also fixed at 80 % of the premium per ewe;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86 (6) accordingly determined the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of the premium payable per ewe and per female goat for the 1986 marketing year, and authorized certain Member States to pay an advance; whereas, in the light of the present situation on the Community market and in particular the collapse of market prices, the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of the premium payable per ewe and per female goat for the 1986 marketing year should be redetermined; whereas, by way of derogation from Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1514/86 (8), the advance for the 1986 marketing year should therefore be 50 % of the estimated foreseeable premium; whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of the said Regulation, the advance is paid only where it is not less than one ECU;
Whereas, in Member States which have already paid the advance referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86, the amount payable to producers who have received the advance is the difference between the advance payable under this Regulation and that referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84, Member States, are, under Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86, prevented from paying an advance on the premium referred to in Article 5 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80; whereas, however, given the exceptional market situation obtaining in region 1 following the Chernobyl accident and the fact that large numbers of lambs have been kept on holdings instead of being slaughtered, Greece and Italy should, by way of derogation from the said Article 4 (4), be authorized to pay an advance on the premium;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86 should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
A difference is hereby found between the basic price and the foreseeable market price during the 1986 marketing year for the following regions:
1.2 // Region // Difference in ECU/100 kg // 2 // 80,32 // 3 // 71,32 // 4 // 133,32 // 5 // 142,32 // 6 // 117,32 // 7 // 57,32
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per ewe and per region is as follows:
1.2 // Region // Estimated amount of the premium payable per ewe in ECU // 2 // 15,261 // 3 // 16,404 // 4 // 23,998 // 5 // 8,075 // 6 // 21,118 // 7 // 5,159
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, and by way of derogation from Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 the advance which, subject to the provisions of Article 5 of this Regulation, Member States are authorized to pay producers located in less-favoured agricultural areas shall be as follows:
1.2.3 // Region // // Advance on premium payable per ewe in ECU // 2 // // 7,740 // 3, of which: // Denmark // 8,200 // // Netherlands // 8,186 // // Luxembourg // 8,188 // // Belgium // 8,188 // // Germany // 8,385 // 4 // // 11,998 // 5 // // 4,041 // 6 // // 10,571 // 7, of which: // Spain // 2,632 // // Portugal // 2,594
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per female goat and per region in the areas designated in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 is as follows:
1.2 // Region // Estimated amount of the premium payable per female goat in ECU // 2 // 12,209 // 7 // 4,127
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the advance which, subject to the provisions of Article 5 of this Regulation, Member States are authorized to pay to goatmeat produers located in the less-favoured agricultural areas within the areas designated in paragraph 1 above shall be as follows:
1.2.3 // Region // // Advance on premium payable per female goat in ECU // 2 // // 6,192 // 7, of which: // Spain // 2,078 // // Portugal // 2,062
1. The estimated amount of the premium payable per female sheep other than an eligible ewe and per region in the areas mentioned in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 is as follows:
1.2 // Region // Estimated amount of the premium payable per female sheep other than an eligible ewe in ECU // 5 // 6,460
2. Pursuant to Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the advance which, subject to the provisions of Article 5 of this Regulation, Member States are authorized to pay to producers of female sheep, other than eligible ewes, located in less-favoured agricultural areas within the areas mentioned in paragraph 1 above shall be as follows:
1.2 // Region // Advance on premium payable per female sheep other than an eligible ewe in ECU // 5 // 3,233
In Member States which have paid the advance referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86, the amount payable to producers who have received that advance shall be the difference between the advance payable under this Regulation and that referred to in under Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86.
In accordance with Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and by way of derogation from Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84, Member States of region 1 are hereby authorized to pay the advance payable in region 2 to producers of sheepmeat and, in the case of the areas specified in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86, to producers of goatmeat.
Regulation (EEC) No 2545/86 is hereby repealed.

of 11 February 2004
amending Council Directives 70/156/EEC and 80/1268/EEC as regards the measurement of carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption of N1 vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 80/1268/EEC of 16 December 1980 relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption of motor vehicles(4) is one of the separate directives under the type-approval procedure laid down by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(5).
(2) The communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council on "EU policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: towards a European Climate Change Programme (ECCP)", proposes an implementation strategy to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, including measures in the transport sector. The Green Paper "Towards a European strategy for the security of energy supply" likewise calls for efforts to improve fuel economy of motor vehicles.
(3) Under the Community strategy to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from passenger cars, as outlined in the communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council entitled "A Community strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and improve fuel economy", the harmonised measurement methodology, as laid down in Directive 80/1268/EEC, has been used as a basic instrument. With a view to permitting subsequent measures to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in the sector of light commercial vehicles, it is necessary to extend the scope of that Directive to include vehicles of category N1 as well.
(4) As referred to in Decision No 1753/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 2000 establishing a scheme to monitor the average specific emissions of CO2 from new passenger cars(6), the Commission has carried out a study to investigate the possibilities and implications of a harmonised procedure for measuring the specific CO2 emissions from vehicles of category N1. In this respect, it is considered technically acceptable and most cost-effective to apply the existing emissions test of Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles(7) also for the measurement of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for that category of vehicles.
(5) Many small-volume manufacturers buy from suppliers engines which are type-approved with respect to emissions according to Council Directive 88/77/EEC of 3 December 1987 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles(8). A considerable number of those manufacturers do not have the necessary infrastructure or expertise to perform the exhaust or CO2 emissions testing. It is therefore necessary to grant an exemption for small-volume manufacturers, since the additional costs they would incur in order to comply with this Directive would be disproportionately high.
(6) Those measures also have an impact on the Annexes to Directive 70/156/EEC.
(7) Directives 70/156/EEC and 80/1268/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 70/156/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
(a) row 39 of Annex IV, part I, is replaced by the following:
">TABLE>"
(b) in the Community certificate of conformity for complete or completed vehicles of categories N1, N2 and N3 in Annex IX, part I, page 2, the following point shall be added:
"
>PIC FILE= "L_2004049EN.003701.TIF">"
Annexes I and II to Directive 80/1268/EEC shall be amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
No later than 19 February 2006, the Commission shall:
(a) present a study on the possibilities of obtaining representative CO2 emission and fuel consumption data for completed multistage vehicles and vehicles whose emissions are measured according to Directive 88/77/EEC in order to take into account the "cost-efficiency" aspects of these measurements;
(b) present an evaluation of the vehicle family concept introduced in this Directive;
(c) if appropriate, present draft measures on the adaptation of this Directive to technical progress to the Committee established by Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
Where a vehicle produced by a specialist coach builder falls within the criteria of one of the families of vehicles of the manufacturer of the base vehicle, the coach builder may use the data on fuel efficiency and CO2 production supplied by that manufacturer.
1. With effect from 19 February 2005 for vehicles of category N1, Member States may not, on grounds relating to CO2 emission or to fuel consumption:
(a) refuse, in respect of any given type of motor vehicle, to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval;
(b) prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of vehicles pursuant to Article 7 of Directive 70/156/EEC,
if the CO2 emission and fuel consumption figures have been determined in accordance with the requirements of Directive 80/1268/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
2. With effect from 1 January 2005 for vehicles of category N1, Class I, and with effect from 1 January 2007 for vehicles of category N1, Classes II and III, Member States:
(a) shall no longer grant EC type-approval pursuant to Article 4(1) of Directive 70/156/EEC;
(b) shall refuse to grant national type-approval, except where the provisions of Article 8(2) of Directive 70/156/EEC are invoked,
if the CO2 emission and fuel consumption figures have not been determined in accordance with the requirements of Directive 80/1268/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
3. With effect from 1 January 2006 for vehicles of category N1, Class I, and with effect from 1 January 2008 for vehicles of category N1, Classes II and III, Member States shall:
(a) consider certificates of conformity which accompany new vehicles pursuant to Directive 70/156/EEC to be no longer valid for the purpose of Article 7(1) of that Directive;
(b) refuse the registration, sale or entry into service of new vehicles which are not accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity pursuant to Directive 70/156/EEC, except where the provisions of Article 8(2) of that Directive are invoked;
if the CO2 emission and fuel consumption figures have not been determined in accordance with the requirements of Directive 80/1268/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
4. For multistage vehicles of category N1, the dates mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be postponed by 12 months.
5. For the purposes of this Article:
- a vehicle of category N1, Class I, means an N1 vehicle with a reference mass not exceeding 1305 kg,
- a vehicle of category N1, Class II, means an N1 vehicle with a reference mass greater than 1305 kg, but not exceeding 1760 kg,
- a vehicle of category N1, Class III, means an N1 vehicle with a reference mass in excess of 1760 kg.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 19 February 2005. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 December 2004
amending Decision 2000/746/EC authorising the French Republic to apply a measure derogating from Article 11 of the sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2004/856/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes – Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 2000/746/EC (2), the Council authorised the French Republic, by way of derogation from Article 11(A)(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, to include in the taxable amount of a supply of goods or a supply of services the value of any gold used by the supplier and provided by the recipient in cases where the supply of the gold to the recipient is exempt in accordance with Article 26b of Directive 77/388/EEC.
(2) The aim of that derogation was to avoid abuse of the exemption for investment gold and thus to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance.
(3) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 6 July 2004, the French Government requested an extension of Decision 2000/746/EC, which expires on 31 December 2004.
(4) In accordance with Article 27(2) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 10 August 2004 of the request made by the French Republic and notified the French Republic that it had all the information it considered necessary for appraisal of the request.
(5) According to the French authorities, the derogation authorised by Decision 2000/746/EC has been effective in achieving the aims stated above.
(6) The derogations pursuant to Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC which counter VAT avoidance linked to the exemption for investment gold may be included in a future proposal for a directive rationalising some of the derogations pursuant to that Article.
(7) It is therefore necessary to extend the validity of the derogation granted under Decision 2000/746/EC until the entry into force of a directive rationalising the derogations pursuant to Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC which covers the avoidance of value added tax linked to the exemption for investment gold or until 31 December 2009, whichever is the earlier.
(8) The derogation will have no negative impact on the European Communities' own resources provided from VAT,
Article 2 of Decision 2000/746/EC shall be replaced by the following:
‘Article 2
The authorisation granted under Article 1 shall expire on the date of entry into force of a directive rationalising the derogations pursuant to Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC which counter avoidance of value added tax linked to the exemption for investment gold or on 31 December 2009, whichever is the earlier.’

COMMISSION DECISION
of 19 August 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) 4407)
(2008/684/EC)
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) and the second sentence of Article 16(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC of 13 February 2006 requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode — PWN) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur (2), Portugal is implementing an eradication plan against the dissemination of the pine wood nematode.
(2) Portugal has adopted a ministerial order (Portaria No 358/2008 of 12 May 2008) prohibiting movement of susceptible wood and plants out of continental Portugal unless the wood has been heat treated and the plants duly inspected.
(3) Portugal presented to the Commission a proposal for a survey plan, as provided for in Article 4(2) of Decision 2006/133/EC, for the entire Portuguese territory. The proposal was discussed in the Standing Committee on Plant Health on 26 and 27 May 2008. However, the Commission, based on the conclusions of the Committee, did not approve the plan because of insufficient intensity of monitoring.
(4) Portugal informed the Commission on 5 June 2008 on the finding of new outbreaks of PWN, as a result of an extraordinary investigation by the Portuguese authorities in addition to the annual survey, in the part of Portugal where so far PWN was known not to occur.
(5) The inspection mission from the Food and Veterinary Office from 2 to 6 June 2008 revealed that the data available are not sufficient to confirm that there are areas in Portugal which are free from PWN and that the Community and national measures are not fully implemented.
(6) Therefore, spread of PWN out of the demarcated areas in Portugal on account of movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants cannot be fully excluded. Moreover, at present, it is not possible for Member States other than Portugal to control movements into their territory of susceptible wood, bark and plants originating in all parts of Portugal.
(7) In order to safeguard the territory of other Member States against PWN and to protect the Community trade interests in relation to third countries, the movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants from the demarcated areas in Portugal to other Member States and third countries should be prohibited unless this material has undergone appropriate treatment or, for plants, appropriate inspection. Therefore, the requirements for movements of susceptible wood, bark and plants from demarcated areas into areas in Portugal, other than demarcated areas, or into other Member States should be extended to all movements from the demarcated areas in Portugal into other Member States and third countries. Traceability should be ensured by attaching the plant passport or the mark to each unit within a consignment. The scope of control activities carried out by Member States should be widened to allow control of susceptible wood, bark and plants moved from Portugal into their territory.
(8) Commission Decision 2008/489/EC of 27 June 2008 concerning interim protective measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) in Portugal (3) provided for such measures pending the meeting of the Standing Committee on Plant Health. It is now appropriate to confirm those measures and to repeal Decision 2008/489/EC.
(9) Decision 2006/133/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2006/133/EC is amended as follows:
1. in the first paragraph of Article 2, the following sentence is added:
2. in Article 3, point (a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) subject consignments of susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from Portugal and moved into their territory, to testing for the presence of PWN;’;
3. the Annex to Decision 2006/133/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall be reviewed on the basis of the results of the survey plan referred to in Article 4(2) of Decision 2006/133/EC.
Decision 2008/489/EC is repealed.
This Decision 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 |
