THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 913/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2141/98 (4), to introduce exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in that Member State;
Whereas, because the veterinary and trade restrictions continue to apply, the number of piglets which may be delivered to the competent authorities should be increased so that the exceptional measures can continue from 2 October 1998;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 913/97 is replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 2 October 1998.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 26(3) thereof, and the corresponding provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products,
Whereas:
(1) When import licences are used to determine the preferential import duty under tariff quotas, there is a danger that forged licences may be used, in particular in cases where there is a large difference between the full duty and the reduced or zero duty. To reduce this danger of fraud, there should be a mechanism for verifying the authenticity of the licences submitted.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all Management Committees concerned,
The following paragraph 5 is added to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000:
‘5. The customs office accepting the declaration of release for free circulation shall keep a copy of the licence or extract presented giving entitlement to a preferential arrangement. On the basis of a risk analysis, copies of at least 1 % of licences presented, and at least two licences per year and per customs office, shall be sent to the issuing bodies indicated on the licences so that their authenticity can be verified. This subparagraph shall not apply to electronic licences or licences for which another means of verification is laid down by Community rules.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the first day of the third month following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1193/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas, in the wake of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the reference price arrangements stipulating payment of a countervailing charge on imports of certain fruit and vegetables have been replaced by a system of specific customs duties linked to the entry price;
Whereas the application of such entry prices to certain products intended for processing and originating in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania could place an excessive burden on industry and thus impede trade with those third countries; whereas, in accordance with the negotiating Directives concerning agricultural products adopted by the Council on 6 March 1995, negotiations are currently under way with the countries concerned with a view to finding a solution to this matter through Additional Protocols to the Europe Agreements (3); whereas 'interim` Additional Protocols will only cover the trade-related aspects of Additional Protocols; whereas, pending the outcome of negotiations on these Protocols, an adjustment should be made by reducing, as an autonomous and transitional measure until 31 December 1996, the entry prices of certain fruit intended for processing;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the fruit in question is actually intended for processing, the products concerned should be allowed to enter at the reduced entry prices subject to compliance with the Community provisions on utilization laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (4), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (5) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92 of 29 July 1992 on quality inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3148/94 (7);
Whereas, with a view to the proper application of this Regulation, the provisions of the Europe Agreements on the origin of products must apply; whereas, specific provisions should also be adopted on the use to be made of the products concerned by the processing industry;
Whereas the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The entry prices above which the specific duty is reduced to zero, as an autonomous and transitional measure, on the products listed in the Annex originating in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania and intended for processing shall be as shown therein.
2. Where the entry price of a consignment is 2, 4, 6 or 8 % less than the relevant entry price, the specific duty shall be equal respectively to 2, 4, 6, or 8 % of the latter entry price. Where the entry price of a consignment is less than 92 % of the entry price applicable, the highest specific duty shall apply.
3. The products concerned shall be allowed to enter at the reduced entry prices provided for in paragraph 1 subject to the conditions laid down in:
- Article 82 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 and Articles 291 et seq. of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93,
- Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92.
The Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administrative cooperation annexed to each Europe Agreement shall apply.
The products listed in the Annex and used for the manufacture of any of the products listed in Article 1 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 (8) shall be considered as intended for processing for the purposes of Article 1 (1).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 December 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31998D0744 | 98/744/EC: Council Decision of 21 December 1998 concerning exchange rate matters relating to the Cape Verde escudo
| COUNCIL DECISION of 21 December 1998 concerning exchange rate matters relating to the Cape Verde escudo (98/744/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 109(3) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
(1) Whereas according to Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (2), the euro will be substituted as from 1 January 1999 for the currency of each participating Member State at the conversion rate;
(2) Whereas the Community will have the competence for monetary and exchange rate matters in the Member States adopting the euro as from the same date;
(3) Whereas the Council decides the arrangements for the negotiation and conclusion of agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters;
(4) Whereas the Portuguese Republic has concluded an agreement with the Republic of Cape Verde (3) which is intended to ensure the convertibility of the Cape Verde escudo into the Portuguese escudo at a fixed parity;
(5) Whereas the euro will be substituted for the Portuguese escudo on 1 January 1999;
(6) Whereas the convertibility of the Cape Verde escudo is ensured by a limited credit facility provided by the Portuguese government; whereas the Portuguese government has given the assurance that the agreement with Cape Verde has no substantial financial implications for Portugal;
(7) Whereas this agreement is unlikely to have any material effect on the monetary and exchange rate policy of the euro area; whereas in its present form and state of implementation this agreement therefore is unlikely to present any obstacle to a smooth functioning of Economic and Monetary Union; whereas nothing in this agreement can be construed as implying an obligation for the ECB or any NCB to support the convertibility of the Cape Verde escudo; whereas modifications to the existing agreement shall not lead to any obligation for the ECB or any NCB;
(8) Whereas Portugal and Cape Verde are willing to continue the present agreement after the substitution of the euro for the Portuguese escudo; whereas it is appropriate that Portugal may continue the present agreement after this substitution and that Portugal and Cape Verde implement it under their sole responsibility;
(9) Whereas it is necessary for the Community to be informed on a regular basis about the implementation and envisaged modifications of the agreement;
(10) Whereas the modification or implementation of this agreement should be without prejudice to the primary objective of the Community's exchange rate policy to maintain price stability, in accordance with Article 3a(2) of the Treaty;
(11) Whereas it is necessary to involve the competent Community bodies before making any changes to the nature or scope of the present agreement; whereas this applies in particular to the principle of free convertibility at a fixed parity between the euro and the Cape Verde escudo, convertibility being ensured by a limited credit facility provided by the Portuguese government;
(12) Whereas without prejudice to Community competence and Community agreements as regards economic and monetary union, Member States may negotiate in international bodies and conclude international agreements;
(13) Whereas this Decision does not establish a precedent with respect to any arrangements that may be decided in the future with respect to the negotiation and conclusion of similar agreements concerning monetary or foreign exchange regime matters by the Community with other States or international organisations,
Upon the substitution of the euro for the Portuguese escudo, the Portuguese Republic may continue its present agreement concerning exchange rate matters with the Republic of Cape Verde.
Portugal and Cape Verde shall keep the sole responsibility for the implementation of this agreement.
The competent Portuguese authorities shall keep the Commission, the European Central Bank and the Economic and Financial Committee informed on a regular basis about the implementation of the agreement. The Portuguese authorities shall inform the Economic and Financial Committee prior to changes of the parity between the euro and the Cape Verde escudo.
Portugal may negotiate and conclude modifications to the present agreement to the extent that the nature or scope of the agreement is not changed. It shall inform in advance the Commission, the European Central Bank and the Economic and Financial Committee of such changes.
Any plans to change the nature or scope of this agreement shall be submitted by Portugal to the Commission, the European Central Bank and the Economic and Financial Committee.
Such plans require the approval of the Council on the basis of a recommendation from the Commission and after consultation of the European Central Bank.
This Decision shall apply as from 1 January 1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the Community is successfully applying an accelerated scheme for brucellosis eradication;
Whereas, however, in certain Member States the total elimination of brucellosis has not yet been achieved, although it is expected that this objective will be realized within the next two years;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to extend, until 31 December 1983, the period during which the derogation referred to in point E of Article 7 (1) may be granted,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3635/87, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III, other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceiling fixed in column 9 of Annex I;

DIRECTIVE 2014/46/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 3 April 2014
amending Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Roadworthiness testing is a part of a wider regime ensuring that vehicles are kept in a safe and environmentally acceptable condition during their use. That regime should provide for periodic roadworthiness testing of vehicles and technical roadside inspection of vehicles used for commercial road transport activities as well as a vehicle registration procedure allowing for the suspension of a vehicle’s authorisation to be used in road traffic where the vehicle constitutes an immediate risk to road safety.
(2) The registration of a vehicle provides administrative authorisation for its entry into service in road traffic. Council Directive 1999/37/EC (3) applies only to the granting of a registration for vehicles. Nevertheless, especially in cases where the use of a vehicle on public roads would create a risk on account of its technical condition, it should be possible to suspend authorisation of the use of that vehicle for a certain period of time. To reduce the administrative burden resulting from suspension, it should not be necessary to go through a new process of registration when the suspension is lifted.
(3) An obligation to cancel permanently the registration of a vehicle notified as having been treated as an end-of-life vehicle in accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) should be introduced. Member States have the possibility to specify in national law other reasons for cancelling a vehicle registration.
(4) Even where a vehicle registration has been cancelled, it should be possible to retain a record of that registration.
(5) In order to reduce administrative burdens and to ease the exchange of information between Member States, information relating to vehicles should be recorded electronically.
(6) This Directive should not prevent a Member State from regarding the electronic dataset kept by its competent authorities as the main source of information about a vehicle registered in its territory. It should be possible for Member States to use an electronic network, comprising data from national electronic databases, in order to facilitate the exchange of information.
(7) In cases where dangerous deficiencies have been found during a roadworthiness test and the authorisation of a vehicle for use on public roads has been suspended, that suspension should be recorded until the vehicle has passed a new roadworthiness test.
(8) In order to update point II.4, second indent and point III.1.A (b) of both Annex I and Annex II to Directive 1999/37/EC in the event of enlargement of the Union, as well as to update point II.6 of Annex I related to non mandatory elements in the event of changes of definitions or the content of certificates of conformity in the relevant Union type-approval legislation, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(9) Directive 1999/37/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Amendments to Directive 1999/37/EC
Directive 1999/37/EC is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 1, the first sentence is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 2, the following points are added:
‘(e) “suspension”: means a limited period of time in which a vehicle is not authorised by a Member State to be used in road traffic following which – provided the reasons for suspension have ceased to apply – it may be authorised to be used again without involving a new process of registration;
(f) “cancellation of a registration”: means the cancellation of a Member State’s authorisation for a vehicle to be used in road traffic.’;
(3) in Article 3, the following paragraphs are added:
(a) all mandatory elements in accordance with point II.5 of Annex I as well as the elements of points II.6(J) and II.6(V.7) and (V.9) of that Annex, where the data are available;
(b) other non-mandatory data listed in Annex I or data from the certificate of conformity as provided for in Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (*), where possible;
(c) the outcome of mandatory periodic roadworthiness tests in accordance with Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (**) and the period of validity of the roadworthiness certificate.
(4) the following Article is inserted:
(5) in Article 5, the following paragraph is added:
(6) Articles 6 and 7 are replaced by the following:
— point II.4, second indent and point III.1.A(b) of both Annex I and Annex II, in the event of enlargement of the Union,
— point II.6 of Annex I in relation to non mandatory elements in the event of changes of definitions or of the content of certificates of conformity in the relevant Union type-approval legislation.
(7) Article 9 is replaced by the following:
(8) in point II.6 of Annex I, the following point is added:
‘(X) proof of having passed the roadworthiness test, date of next roadworthiness test or expiry of current certificate’.
Transposition
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 20 May 2017, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those measures from 20 May 2018.

of 25 March 1986
establishing general rules applying to production refunds in the cereals and rice sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1006/86 (2), and in particular Articles 11 (4) and 11a (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1007/86 (4), and in particular Articles 9 (2) and 9a (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas on account of the special situation on the market in starches and, in particular, the need to ensure that prices are competitive with those of starches produced in third countries and imported in the form of products covered by import arrangements which provide insufficient protection for Community products, Regulations (EEC) No 2727/75 and (EEC) No 1418/76 provide for the granting of a production refund to enable the user industries to obtain starch and certain derived products at a price lower than would result from the application of the rules of the common organization of the markets in the products in question;
Whereas the abovementioned Regulations provide for a list to be established of products for the manufacture of which the use of starch affords entitlement to the refund; whereas that list should be open to amendment, taking into account certain given criteria;
Whereas in order to make the supervision measures more effective, it should be laid down that beneficiaries of the refund must have received prior approval from the Member State in whose territory the products mentioned above are manufactured;
Whereas in order to bring about the transition to the new arrangements for production refunds the amounts of the refunds provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3794/85 (6), should be amended for the transitional period of the 1986/87 and 1988/89 marketing years;
Whereas in fixing the production refunds for starches, account must be taken of the difference in prices, on the world and Community market, between the basic cereal products most commonly used for the manufacture of starch,
TITLE I
Arrangements applicable to starch used in the manufacture of certain goods
1. Refunds shall be granted to natural or legal persons using starch, extracted from wheat, maize, rice, broken rice or potatoes, or certain derived products in the preparation of one or more of the goods listed in the Annex.
2. The list referred to in paragraph 1 may be amended taking account of the level of competition with third countries, and the degree of protection against such competition afforded by the mechanisms of the common agricultural policy, the Common Customs Tariff or otherwise.
Other factors shall be taken into account, notably:
- the progress made in the technology of starch manufacture and utilization,
- the degree to which starch is incorporated in the final product and/or the relative value of starch in the final product and/or the importance of the product as an outlet for starch, in the light of competition with other products.
3. (a) Any granting of a production refund for a product may not cause distortion in the conditions of competition with other products which are not eligible for such refund.
(b) Should it be established that distortion has occurred, following the granting of a production refund, the Commission shall decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 and Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, either:
- to abolish that refund, or
- to adjust it in so far as is necessary to eliminate the distortion in the conditions of competition.
1. The refund shall be granted by the Member State in whose territory the products included in the list referred to in Article 1 are manufactured.
2. Beneficiaries shall be granted prior approval in return for their undertaking to allow the competent authorities to carry out all checks and inspections required for the purpose of granting the refund.
The rate of the refund shall be fixed with particular reference to:
- the objective of making starch available to beneficiaries under similar conditions to those available to competing industries on the world market,
- the difference between Community prices and world prices for maize and common wheat,
- the potential outlets for the starch and the conditions under which it can be used.
TITLE II

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2940/94 of 2 December 1994 fixing the aid for the supply of olive oil products to the Canary Islands under the arrangements provided for in Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/93 (2), and in particular
Article 3
(4) thereof,
Whereas Annex IX of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2883/94 of 28 November 1994 (3) establishing the forecast supply balance for the Canary Islands for the agricultural products eligible for the special arrangements provided for in Articles 2 to 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 fixes for the period 1 November 1994 to 30 June 1995 the quantities of olive oil products which may benefit from the supply arrangements, by means of either an exemption from the import levy or the granting of aid, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92;
Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, coverage of the olive oil requirements of the Canary Islands is to be ensured, in terms of quantity, price and quality, on terms equivalent to the advantage resulting from exemption from import duties by the mobilization of Community olive oil, which implies the grant of aid for such deliveries; whereas that aid must be fixed with reference, in particular, to the costs of various sources of supply and the prices applied to exports to third countries; whereas these objectives involve varying the rate of aid in accordance with the type of product;
Whereas the common detailed rules for implementation of the arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the Canary Islands are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94; whereas that Regulation defines new detailed rules for the management of the arrangements, in particular, for the issue and period of validity of licences and certificates, the payment of aid and the monitoring and control of commercial operations carried out under the specific arrangements; whereas those provisions replace the detailed rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2596/93 (6), and apply in the various market sectors from 1 December 1994;
Whereas, therefore, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2025/92 of 22 July 1992 on detailed rules for the application of the specific supply measures for the Canary Islands as regards olive oil and establishing the forecast supply balance (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2662/94 (8), should be repealed from the same date;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation should take effect on the date of entry into force of the Regulations laying down the common detailed rules for implementation of the arrangements and establishing the supply balance;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the purposes of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the aid for the supply of olive oil from the Community to the Canary Islands in accordance with the forecast supply balance established by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94 shall be equal, for each type of oil:
- to the average of the maximum export refund amounts set by tendering procedure for oil in small containers in the course of the month preceding that of submission of the certificate application, plus ECU 1 per 100 kg; or
- to the average of the export refund amounts fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1650/86 (9), for oil in small containers in the course of the month preceding that of submission of the certificate application, plus ECU 1 per 100 kg,

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 17 September 1984 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible sound power level of lawnmowers (84/538/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the technical requirements with which lawnmowers must comply under the terms of the national laws concern, inter alia, their noise emission ; whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another whereas, through their disparities, they hamper trade within the European Community;
Whereas these obstacles to the establishment and operation of the common market can be reduced or even removed if the same requirements are adopted by all the Member States in place of their existing laws;
Whereas the main objective of the provisions of this Directive is to ensure protection against nuisances due to noise by reducing the inconvenience caused by the noises emitted by lawnmowers;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to determine at Community level the permissible upper limits for noise emissions from lawnmowers and a common method for measuring such emissions;
Whereas it is desirable to bring to the attention of the consumer the acoustic quality of lawnmowers ; whereas an effective method of informing the consumer is to require that each lawnmower should be marked with the level of its acoustic force ; whereas it is, however, pointless to require this mark on lawnmowers which are not noisy by construction, such as electric lawnmowers with a small cutting-width;
Whereas the conformity of lawnmowers with this Directive may be presumed by virtue of the certificate of conformity issued by the manufacturer, or by the importer resident in the Community ; whereas the Member States must recognize such certificates as conclusive evidence, thus ensuring the free movement of lawnmowers throughout the Community;
Whereas, without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 of the Treaty, it is advisable, within the framework of cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States, to lay down provisions to help resolve disputes of a technical nature regarding the conformity of production models with the requirements of this Directive;
Whereas it should be expressly confirmed that those concerned must have available to them appropriate legal remedies in respect of decisions taken by the appropriate national authorities for purposes of implementing this Directive;
Whereas technical progress requires prompt adjustment of the technical requirements specified in this Directive ; whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the measures required for this purpose, a procedure should be prescribed for establishing dose cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the committee established by Article 5 of Council Directive 79/113/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the determination of the noise emission of construction plant and equipment (4), as amended by Directive 81/1051/EEC (5), (1) OJ No C 86, 2.4.1979, p. 9.

1. The purpose of this Directive is to restrict the permissible sound power level of lawnmowers by specifying upper limits and the methods for measuring such level.
2. "Lawnmower" means all motorized equipment appropriate for the upkeep by cutting, by whatever method, of areas under grass used for recreational, decorative or similar purposes.
3. This Directive applies to mowers as referred to in paragraph 2, except for the following: - motorized cylinder mowers,
- agricultural and forestry equipment,
- non-independent devices (e.g. drawn cylinders), with cutting devices actuated by the wheels or by an integrated drawing or carrier component,
- multi-purpose devices the main motorized components of which have an installed power of over 20 kW.
Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that lawnmowers as defined in Article 1 may not be placed on the market unless their sound power levels, as measured under the conditions specified in Annex I, do not exceed the permissible level for the cutting width of the mower as shown in the following table: >PIC FILE= "T0026439">
A lawnmower's conformity with the requirements of this Directive shall be attested by the manufacturer, or by the importer domiciled in the Community, on his own responsibility, in a certificate (see model in Annex II) which shall accompany the machine and which shall be based on the report on the tests carried out on each type of lawnmower by one of the laboratories included in a list to be drawn up by each Member State and notified to the other Member States. This certificate may be reproduced on the directions for use or on the guarantee certificate.
Prior to being placed on the market, lawnmowers shall, in a clearly visible and durable fashion either directly or on a plate (such as a riveted or self-adhesive plate) permanently attached to them, bear marks identifying the manufacturer, describing the type and indicating the maximum sound power level expressed in dB(A)/1 pW, guaranteed by the manufacturer.
The model for these indications is set out in Annex III.
1. Subject to the provisions in paragraph 2, no Member State may refuse, prohibit or restrict the sale, putting into service or use of lawnmowers on grounds relating to their sound power levels if they satisfy the requirements of this Directive and are accompanied by the certificate of conformity referred to in Article 3 and bear the indications referred to in Article 4.
2. Member States may take measures to regulate the use of lawnmowers in areas which they consider sensitive.
Member States shall take all the necessary measures to verify that lawnmowers conform to the requirements of this Directive. Such verification shall be carried out in accordance with the technical specifications laid down in Annex IV.
1. If a Member State in which the lawnmower is manufactured finds that the latter does not conform to the provisions of this Directive or if it is notified to this effect by another Member State, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the further production of like models conforms to the approved type.
The Member State in question shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of the measures taken within one month, stating the grounds for such action.
2. If a Member State disputes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and shall, where necessary, hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of reaching a settlement.
Any amendments necessary in order to adapt the Annexes to this Directive to technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5 of Council Directive 79/113/EEC.
The provisions of this Directive shall not affect the Member States' entitlement to limit, with due observance of the Treaty, and in particular Articles 30 to 36 thereof, the level of noise at the operator's position for lawnmowers for professional use with a cutting width of more than 120 cm provided that this does not involve an obligation to adapt lawnmowers which comply with this Directive to different emission standards within the meaning of Annex I to the Directive.

| COUNCIL DECISION of 1 May 1998 abrogating the Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit for Sweden (98/314/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 10 July 1995 that an excessive deficit existed in Sweden; whereas, in accordance with Article 104c(7), the Council made recommendations to Sweden 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 Sweden before 1 March 1998 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 3605/93, the following conclusions are warranted:
The government deficit in Sweden has been reduced very sharply since 1993 and reached 0,8 % of GDP in 1997, which is well below the Treaty reference value. A surplus of 0,5 % of GDP is forecast for 1998. According to the April 1998 review of the convergence programme for Sweden, the government accounts are projected to show a surplus of 3,5 % of GDP in 2001.
The government debt ratio peaked in 1994 at 79,0 % of GDP and since then has declined every year to reach 76,6 % in 1997; the debt ratio is expected to decline further in 1998 and projected to continue declining in the following years in the April 1998 review of the Swedish convergence programme and reach 62,9 % of GDP in 2001.
The deficit was well below the Treaty reference value in 1997 and the budget is expected to be in surplus in 1998 and to show an increasing surplus in the medium term; the debt ratio has been diminishing in the last three years and is expected to continue declining in coming years,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Sweden has been corrected.
The Council Decision of 10 July 1995 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Sweden is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76 (2) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) As the standing invitations to tender for the export refunds on rice have ended for this year, refunds in ordinary law for this product need no longer be fixed. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is hereby suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 July 2004.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1558/95 (4), listed the varieties of Lolium perenne L. of high persistence, late or medium late, and of Lolium perenne L. of low persistence, medium late, medium early or early, within the meaning of the provisions adopted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71;
Whereas, since the last amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76, certified seed of certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. is no longer marketed, while certified seed of other varieties has appeared on the market and will be marketed for the first time during the 1996/97 marketing year; whereas, furthermore, the application of the classification criteria to certain varieties of Lolium perenne L. results in their inclusion in one of the abovementioned lists; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1445/76 should therefore be amended accordingly;

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 tilmicosin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas vitamin D, hydrocortisone and alfacalcidol should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
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,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 94 in conjunction with Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 17(2) of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments provides that, subject to the conditions set out therein, Switzerland and where applicable the Community shall effectively implement and apply this Agreement from 1 January 2005.
(2) Pursuant to Article 18(1), the application of the Agreement is conditional on the adoption and implementation by certain dependent or associated territories of the Member States and by the United States of America, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and San Marino respectively of measures which conform with or are equivalent to those contained in the Directive or the Agreement. Under Article 18(2), if the Contracting Parties do not, at least six months prior to the date referred to in Article 17(2) (1 January 2005), decide that the condition will be met, they shall, by common accord, adopt a new date for the purposes of Article 17(2). No such decision was taken.
(3) Not all the third countries in question will be in a position to implement the measures referred to in Article 18(1) by 1 January 2005. Moreover, it will only be possible for Switzerland to implement and apply this Agreement from 1 July 2005 and this on the condition that Swiss constitutional requirements will be met by that date. It appears that each of the third countries and dependent or associated territories referred to in Article 18(1) of the Agreement will also be able to meet the conditions set out in that paragraph by 1 July 2005.
(4) The date of 1 July 2005 should therefore be adopted as the new date for the purposes of Article 17(2) of the Agreement, in accordance with Article 18(2) of the Agreement.
(5) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters providing for a new date of application of the Agreement on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments should be approved,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the date of application of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3 June 2003 on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organisation of the market in flax and hemp (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 of 22 March 1971 laying down general rules for granting aid for flax and hemp (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 154/97 (4), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2289/97 (6), lays down a deadline for the submission of declarations of the areas sown; whereas, in order to improve the checks on areas and harvest dates provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71, Member States should be given the possibility of fixing a date before the abovementioned deadline; whereas the rate of reduction of aid in the event of the deadline for the submission of declarations of areas sown not being met should be adjusted in line with that in other sectors;
Whereas Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 contains a list of varieties of flax grown mainly for fibre; whereas certain new varieties of flax grown mainly for fibre have been included in the Common Seed Catalogue; whereas, furthermore, a number of varieties currently included in Annex A have been deleted from the Catalogue; whereas Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 contains a list of the varieties of hemp eligible for aid; whereas, since it has been established that certain new varieties meet the requirements of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71, that Annex should be supplemented;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 is hereby amended as follows:

(5) Whereas the weight of processed table olives on which aid is payable, and the equivalence between processed table olives and olive oil should be determined for the purposes of calculating the unit aid on table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities;
(6) Whereas undertakings processing table olives must be approved in accordance with conditions to be determined;
(7) Whereas provisions should be laid down for checks on aid for table olives; whereas those provisions must in particular cover crop declarations by table-olive growers, notifications by processors of the quantities of olives delivered by growers and leaving the processing chain, and the obligations on paying agencies regarding controls; whereas provision should be made for penalties on table-olive growers where their declarations conflict with the results of checks conducted;
(8) Whereas the information needed for calculating the aid to be granted to growers of processed table olives should be determined; whereas an advance on the aid may be granted under certain conditions;
(9) Whereas Spain must notify the Commission of the national measures adopted for the purposes of applying this Decision and of the information used for calculating the advance on the aid and the definitive aid;
(10) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1999/2000 and 2000/01 olive-oil marketing years, Spain is hereby authorised to grant aid for the production of table olives in accordance with this Decision.
1. Aid for the production of table olives shall be granted to growers of olives which come from olive groves in Spain and are sent to approved processing undertakings for processing into table olives.
2. For each olive-oil marketing year, aid shall be granted for table olives processed between 1 September of the preceding marketing year and 31 August of the marketing year concerned.
3. Within the meaning of this Decision "processed table olives" means olives that have undergone for at least 15 days initial treatment in brine, and have been removed from the brine definitively or, failing that, have undergone treatment making them fit for human consumption.
1. For the purposes of calculating the unit aid on table olives and of administering the national guaranteed quantities of olive oil, 100 kilograms of processed table olives shall be deemed to be equivalent to 11,5 kilograms of olive oil eligible for production aid as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
2. The weight of processed table olives to be taken into consideration shall be the drained net weight of whole olives after processing, possibly bruised but not stoned.
1. Approval numbers shall be allocated to undertakings which:
- submit an application for approval by 30 September preceding the olive-oil marketing year in question, accompanied by the information referred to in paragraph 2 and the commitments referred to in paragraph 3,
- market processed table olives, with or without additional preparation,
- have plant capable of processing at least 30 tonnes of olives per year in the islands and 50 tonnes of olives per year in the other zones.
2. Applications for approval shall include at least:
- a description of the processing plant and storage facilities, with details of their capacity,
- a description of the forms of table-olive preparations marketed, indicating the average weight of processed table olives required for one kilogram of each type of prepared product,
- details of stocks of table olives at various stages of preparation, by form of preparation, as at 1 September preceding the olive-oil marketing year in question.
3. For the purposes of approval, processors shall undertake to:
- keep table olives on which aid is payable separate from table olives originating in third countries and those on which aid is not payable when taking delivery of, processing and storing them,
- keep stock accounts covering table olives, linked to the financial accounts and indicating, for each day:
(a) the quantities of olives entering the establishment, showing each consignment separately and identifying the grower of each,
(b) the quantities of olives sent for processing and the quantities of table olives processed within the meaning of Article 2(3),
(c) the quantities of table olives for which the process of preparation has been completed,
(d) the quantities of table olives leaving the undertaking, broken down by form of preparation and indicating the consignees,
- provide the grower as referred to in Article 2(1) and the competent body with the documents and the information referred to in Article 6 in accordance with the conditions laid down therein,
- submit to all checks provided for under this Decision.
4. Approval shall be refused or immediately withdrawn where undertakings:
- fail to comply or no longer comply with the conditions for approval, or
- are prosecuted by the competent authorities for irregularities in respect of the arrangements provided for in Regulation No 136/66/EEC, or
- have been penalised for an infringement to that Regulation within the past 24 months.
For the purposes of granting the aid for the production of table olives, in addition to the crop declaration laid down for olive-oil production aid, by 1 December of the current marketing year growers shall lodge a supplementary declaration or, as appropriate, a new declaration containing the same information as the crop declaration for olive oil but referring to table olives.
Where the information concerned has already been furnished by a crop declaration for olive oil and has not been subject to modification, the supplementary declaration shall simply indicate the references to the crop declaration and the parcels concerned.
The declarations concerning table olives shall be included in the alphanumeric database provided for in connection with the aid scheme for olive oil production.
1. On delivery of the final consignment of olives and no later than 30 June, approved undertakings shall issue growers as referred to in Article 2(1) with a certificate of delivery showing the net weight of olives entering the undertaking.
The certificate must be supported by all the documentation relating to the weight of the olives delivered.
2. Approved undertakings shall notify the competent body and the control agency:
(a) by the 10th day of each month, of:
- the quantities of olives received, sent for processing and processed within the meaning of Article 2(3) in the course of the previous month,
- the quantities of olives prepared and sent out, broken down by form of preparation, in the course of the previous month,
- the aggregate quantities referred to in the first two indents and the stock situation at the end of the previous month;
(b) before 1 July, of the names of growers as referred to in Article 2(1) for the processing period referred to in Article 2(2) and of the quantities covered by certificates issued to them in accordance with paragraph 1;
(c) before 1 June of the following marketing year, of the total quantities delivered for the processing period referred to in Article 2(2) and of the total corresponding quantities processed.
1. Before 1 July of the current marketing year, table-olive growers shall lodge aid applications, directly or indirectly, with the competent body, containing at least the following details:
- the name and address of the grower,
- the location of the holdings and the parcels where olives were harvested, with a reference to the relevant crop declaration,
- the approved undertaking to which the olives were delivered.
Such applications shall be accompanied by certificates of delivery as referred to in Article 6(1).
Where applicable, applications may be accompanied by an application for an advance on the aid.
2. Applications lodged after the deadline shall incur a penalty consisting in a reduction of 1 % of the amount to which the grower would have been entitled had the application been lodged by the due date, for each working day of delay. Applications lodged more than 25 days late shall be refused.
1. Before the definitive payment of the aid, the competent body shall carry out the controls required to check:
- the quantities of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued,
- the quantities of table olives processed, broken down by grower.
Controls shall involve:
- several physical inspections of goods in stock and a check of the accounts of approved undertakings,
- stricter checks of aid applications from olive growers applying for aid on both table olives and olive oil.
2. Spain shall see that all the necessary controls are in place to ensure that:
- entitlement to table-olive production aid is respected,
- olives entering an undertaking approved under this Decision are excluded from eligibility for olive-oil production aid,
- no more than one aid application is lodged for the same olives.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down by Spain, no aid shall be granted to growers as referred to in Article 2(1) whose declarations as provided for in Article 5 or whose aid applications in accordance with Article 7 prove to conflict with the results of checks conducted. However, Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
1. Growers as referred to in Article 2(1) may receive an advance on the aid requested. The advance shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17(a)(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84(4), multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting advances to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a provisional processing coefficient to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the further information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be established by the competent body depending on the data available on the approved undertaking concerned. However, the quantity of table olives taken into consideration may not exceed 90 % of the quantity of table olives delivered.
2. Advances on the aid shall be paid from 16 October of the current marketing year to growers applying therefor in accordance with Article 7(1).
0
1. Without prejudice to the reductions provided for in Article 20(d) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17(a)(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting the aid to growers as referred to in Article 2(1), the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a processing coefficient for the undertaking concerned to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the further information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be equal to the ratio between the total quantity of table olives processed on the one hand, and the total quantity of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued on the other hand, in respect of the olive-oil marketing year concerned.
Where the quantity of processed olives corresponding to the aid as set out in the certificate of delivery cannot be established, the quantities of table olives processed for the growers concerned shall be calculated on the basis of the average coefficient for the other undertakings. However, without prejudice to any claims which the olive growers concerned might make against the undertaking, that quantity of processed olives may not exceed 75 % of the quantity shown in the certificate of delivery.
2. Once the controls referred to in Article 8 have been carried out, the aid or, where applicable, the balance of the aid shall be paid to the grower in full within 90 days of fixing by the Commission of the unit amount thereof.
1
Spain shall notify the Commission:
- without delay, of the national measures taken pursuant to this Decision,
- before 1 August of each marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the estimated output of table olives processed and of the provisional processing coefficients for that estimate,
- before 16 June of each subsequent marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the actual output of table olives processed and of the processing coefficients adopted.

This Decision shall apply from 1 September 1999.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1541/93 of 14 June 1993 fixing the non-rotational set-aside rate referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992, establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 states that non-rotational set-aside may be permitted in return for a higher set-aside percentage rate than that required for rotational set-aside; whereas this percentage must ensure a reduction in production comparable to that resulting from rotational set-aside; whereas a scientific study of the comparative effectiveness, as regards production control, of the two types of set-aside, shows that a variation of five percentage points over the rate for rotational set-aside should enable the Community's objective to be obtained;
Whereas there are, in the Community, zones to be designated as vulnerable to the pollution of water by nitrates; whereas the protection of the waters in these areas or even in the whole of the territory of a Member State must comprise, when Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (2) is applied, a compulsory scheme of limiting the use of fertilizers; whereas such a scheme may, under certain conditions, amount to a significant reduction in the use of fertilizers as compared with normal practice and thus afford additional guarantees as concerns the way in which production is controlled; whereas, at the same time, the fact of encouraging non-rotational set-aside to be carried out in these zones may make it easier to pursue the objectives of the said Directive; whereas, as a result, it is appropriate to set the variation as compared with rotational set-aside at three points for these zones;
Whereas the various institutes which participated in the study took different hypotheses as their departure points in considering the influence of crop rotation on yield; whereas this study, conducted throughout one year, has not led to any definite conclusion on this important matter; whereas it is therefore necessary to envisage a more detailed study under better conditions; whereas this new study should be carried out on a sufficiently large surface area, without, however, jeopardizing the objective of production control; whereas a period of two years would be necessary to complete such a study; whereas in one Member State there exists an extreme case, both in terms of land which is to be entered into set-aside and in terms of the apparent difference in effectiveness between rotation and non-rotation, which means that the experiment should take place in that Member State; whereas, in order to ensure major participation in non-rotational set-aside, on the one hand, and to create the requisite conditions for the study, on the other, the additional rate should be lower than five points; whereas in this respect the said additional rate should be fixed at three points for each Member State in which, according to the latest available estimates, the area to be entered into set-aside will exceed 13 % of the base area in the first year; whereas the best estimates available are to be found in the preliminary draft budget for 1994;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation do not affect the obligations imposed upon Member States by Directive 91/676/EEC,
1. The percentage of non-rotational set-aside referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be fixed at the level of the percentage of rotational set-aside referred to in the same Article, plus five percentage points.
2. However, an increased rate of only three percentage points shall be authorized:
- in the vulnerable zones referred to in Directive 91/676/EEC or in the whole of the territory of a Member State which chooses to apply there the action programmes provided for by the said Directive, on condition that a significant reduction, recognized as such by the Commission, in the use of fertilizers is applied there,
- for land set-aside for the 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years in any Member State in which, according to the estimates of the preliminary draft budget for 1994, the area to be entered into set-aside in the first year of the scheme will exceed 3 % of the base area laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 845/93 (3).
1. At the end of the 1995/96 marketing year, the Commission shall draw up a report concerning the effect on production of the application of the first indent of Article 1 (2), together with, should the need arise, appropriate proposals.
2. During the period referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2), the Commission shall carry out a study in order to ascertain the effects of rotation on yields in the Member States concerned. Should this study show that the three additional percentage points for the non-rotational set-aside do not afford the same guarantee in terms of production control as the rate adopted for rotational set-aside, the rate to be applied in the Member States for non-rotational set-aside as from the 1996/97 marketing year shall be increased on the basis of the results of this study within the limit of the rate referred to in Article 1 (1).
The implementing rules for this Regulation, and in particular the definition of the concept of 'significant reduction' referred to in Article 1 (2) and the rate for the non-rotational set-aside applicable in the Member States referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) as from the 1996/97 marketing year, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, by Decision 63/27/Euratom (1), the Council established the 'Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH' (KRB) as a joint undertaking;
Whereas the general meeting of the joint undertaking decided on 1 December 1987 to amend the company statutes in order to take account, on the one hand, of the shift of its annual accounting period (from 1 July to 30 June instead of from 1 January to 31 December) and certain adjustments required by the law on the application of the directives governing commercial undertakings which entered into force on 1 January 1986 and, on the other hand, of the power-station decommissioning and dismantling activities currently in progress;
Whereas this amendment does not prejudice the provisions governing the joint undertaking; whereas it should consequently be approved,
The amended statutes of the 'Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH' (KRB) joint undertaking appended to this Decision are hereby approved.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2386/88
of 29 July 1988
imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and the USSR
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) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 10 (6) thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for in that Regulation,
Whereas:
A Procedure
(1) Following complaints lodged by the European Federation of Chemical Manufacturers' Associations (CEFIC) on behalf of producers of copper sulphate whose collective output constitutes practically all Community production of the product in question, the Commission published notices in the Official Journal of the European Communities announcing the initiation of anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports into the Community of copper sulphate corresponding to CN code ex 2833 25 00, originating in Bulgaria (3) and the USSR (4) and undertook investigations.
(2) Following the two investigations, which established the existence of dumping and injury, the Bulgarian and USSR exporters, offered undertakings concerning their exports of copper sulphate to the Community and these undertakings were accepted by the Commission (5) (6).
B. Violation of the undertakings
(3) The Commission has received allegations according to which copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and the USSR was being exported to the Community in violation of the terms of the Bulgarian and USSR undertakings. The Commission examined the information submitted to it and offered both exporters the opportunity to comment. No satisfactory explanation by either party was given.
(4) The Commission noted that the allegations against both exporters were supported by the official import statistics.
Neither exporter concerned contested these figures.
(5) The USSR exporter argued that its selling prices in the United Kingdom were in accordance with the terms of the undertaking. However, in offering the price undertaking which was accepted by the Commission, the USSR exporter undertook to comply with a given delivered price, (ex-warehouse Community), free at Community frontier, not only on its own account but also through its subsidiaries, branches and agents. Both the import statistics and the evidence supplied by the USSR exporter's importing agent in the Community, a joint venture set up in France, indicate that this agent had invoiced consignments to the Community at prices below those stipulated in the undertaking.
(6) The Commission accordingly has reason to believe that the USSR exporter had violated the terms of its undertaking.
(7) The Bulgarian exporter did not dispute the allegation concerning the quantities and prices of its sales of copper sulphate to the EEC. Taking account of these figures the Commission had reason to believe that the Bulgarian exporter had violated the terms of its undertaking.
C. Provisional measures and reopening of the investigation
(8) In the light of the evidence available to it, in particular as regards the alleged injury sustained by the Community industry, the Commission considers that it is in the interests of the Community to withdraw acceptance of the undertakings concerned and to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty forthwith on imports into the Community of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and the USSR. In view of these circumstances, the Commission considers that investigations concerning imports of copper sulphate into the Community originating in Bulgaria and the USSR should be reopened.
D. Rate of Duty
(9) In accordance with Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, the level of anti-dumping duty should be set on the basis of the facts established before acceptance of the undertaking. For the USSR exporter, this level is 20 % of the net price per tonne, free-at-Community frontier, before duty, and for the Bulgarian exporter the level is 39 % of that price,
The acceptance of the undertakings concerning imports into the Community of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria and the USSR by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2908/84 (1) and Commission Decision 87/443/EEC (2) respectively are hereby withdrawn.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of copper sulphate, corresponding to CN code ex 2833 25 00 originating in Bulgaria and the USSR.
(2) The amount of the anti-dumping duty shall be equal to the following percentages of the free-at-Community frontier net price per tonne, before duty:
- 39 % for copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria,
- 20 % for copper sulphate originating in the USSR.
(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 payment of a security equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.

(2) July is the third subperiod for the quota provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 and the second subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d) of that Implementing Regulation.
(3) The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2014 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quota concerned, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).
(4) Those notifications also show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 and 09.4154, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2014 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.

1. For import licence applications for rice under the quota with order number 09.4166 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2014, licences shall be issued for the quantity requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The total quantity available for the following subperiod under the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4130 — 09.4148 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 and 09.4166 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 is set out in the Annex to this Regulation.]

Whereas Article 2 ( 2 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 473/86 stipulates that the accession compensatory amount is corrected by the difference between the consumption aid applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and that applicable in the new Member State;
Whereas the entry into force of the consumption aid in Spain and Portugal will bring about a significant change in the calculation of accession compensatory amounts; whereas, as a result, enterprises which have not received consumption aid will be subjected to a negative accession compensatory amount on exports; whereas there is therefore the risk of a distortion of competition;
Whereas, in order to avoid such distortion, provision should be made for olive oil which would have been eligible for the grant of consumption aid but which did not benefit from it bacause it was packaged without an identification number to receive, for a certain period, the accession compensatory amounts which would have been valid prior to the date of entry into force of the consumption aid in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for oils and fats,

The accession compensatory amounts applicable to exports from Spain or Portugal to third countries or the Community of Ten during the two months following the date of entry into force of the consumption aid in Spain and Portugal for olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 90, 1509 90 00 and 1510 00 90, in respect of which packaging meets the conditions laid down for the grant of consumption aid but for which proof is supplied that consumption aid has not been paid, shall be those fixed in the Annex .
2 . The proof mentioned in paragraph 1 shall comprise a certificate from the customs office at the frontier crossing point relating to the absence of the identification number referred to in Article 2 ( 2 ) of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3089/78 ( 3 ) on the immediate packings containing the olive oil .

In addition the operator shall be excluded from entitlement to consumption aid for a period of twelve months .

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(c), Articles 11 and 12 and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 (2) lays down rules for the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of animals, in relation to bluetongue, in and from the restricted zones. It also establishes the conditions for exemptions from the exit ban applicable to movements of susceptible animals, their semen, ova and embryos provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC.
(2) In recent months, experience has shown that in a number of Member States the effectiveness of the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 to ensure the protection of animals against attacks by vectors might be undermined by a combination of factors, including the vector species, climate conditions and the type of husbandry of the susceptible ruminants.
(3) In view of those circumstances and pending their further scientific assessment, it is appropriate to allow Member States of destination, in which the introduction of non-immune animals under such circumstances could pose a risk for animal health to require that the movement of non-immune animals is subject to additional conditions justified on the basis of a risk assessment taking into account the entomological and epidemiological conditions in which animals are being introduced. Such additional conditions should be limited to what it is necessary to ensure an effective protection of non-immune animals against vectors attacks.
(4) The vector protected confinement of animals is a practicable and effective tool to protect younger animals from attacks by vectors provided that it is carried out subject to certain conditions. Therefore, Member States of destination should be allowed to require the application of these conditions in relation to the introduction of young, non-immune animals for which vaccination is not feasible. As this would affect intra-Community trade, the intention to apply these additional conditions should be notified to the Commission, together with all information demonstrating that it is justified.
(5) The Commission has requested further scientific advice from the European Food Safety Authority. In light of that advice and of additional knowledge and experience that becomes available, the measures provided for in this Regulation may be reviewed in the future. Therefore, the transitional period should be limited to 31 December 2008.
(6) Points 6 and 7 of Section A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 lay down the conditions under which naturally immunised animals may be exempted from the exit ban provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC. There have been experiments which indicate that protection post-infection with bluetongue lasts for a substantial period of time. Therefore, the naturally infected animals are immune for long periods after infection with a particular serotype. The detection of an immune response to bluetongue virus in non-vaccinated animals indicates previous infection. However, that protection can vary depending on the breed of the animal, virus strain and individual animal variation. Therefore, confirmation of the persistence of the antibody response by means of two serological tests, the first being carried out between 60 and 360 days before the movement and the second seven days before movement can provide further reassurance that such animals are immune and thus can be safely moved.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 is amended as follows:
1. In Chapter 4, the following Article 9a is inserted:
(a) those animals must be less than 90 days old;
(b) they must have been kept since birth in vector protected confinement;
(c) the tests referred in points 1, 3 and 4 of Section A of Annex III must have been carried out on samples taken not earlier than seven days before the date of the movement.
2. In Annex III, Section A is amended as follows:
(a) Point 6(a) is replaced by the following:
‘(a) they were subjected to two serological tests according to the OIE Terrestrial Manual to detect antibodies against the bluetongue virus serotype, with positive results; the first test being carried out on samples taken between 60 and 360 days before the date of movement and the second test being carried out on samples taken not earlier than seven days before the date of the movement; or’;
(b) In point 7, the introductory phrase and point (a) are replaced by the following:
(a) the first test must have been carried out on samples that were taken between 60 and 360 days before the date of movement and the second test must have been carried out on samples that were taken not earlier than seven days before the date of movement; or’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (3), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (4), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Maximum residue levels (MRLs) reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable, in particular in terms of estimated dietary intake.
(2) MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information, including new or changed uses. Information about new or changed uses has been communicated to the Commission, which should lead to changes in the residue levels of maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb and thiram.
(3) The active substance ziram has been included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5) by Commission Directive 2003/81/EC (6). The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed use. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain MRLs to be fixed.
(4) There are already Community MRLs in Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC for maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb and thiram. Those levels have been taken into consideration when adapting the MRLs concerned by this Directive. In particular, as in routine monitoring the residues of maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb, thiram and ziram cannot be individually identified, MRLs are set for the whole group of those pesticides which are also known as dithiocarbamates. However, for propineb, thiram and ziram single methods exist, although not on a routine basis. Those methods should be used on a case-by-case basis, when the specific quantification of propineb, ziram and/or thiram is required.
(5) The Commission review reports which were prepared for the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, fix the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and, if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substance concerned has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (7) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (8) on the methodology employed. It has been concluded that the MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADI or ARfD being exceeded.
(6) Where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residues in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported with such necessary data, MRLs should be fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination.
(7) It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in the Annexes to Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC to allow proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer. Where MRLs have already been defined in the Annexes to those Directives, it is appropriate to amend them. Where MRLs have not already been defined, it is appropriate to set them for the first time.
(8) Directives 76/895/EEC, 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC the entry relating to thiram is deleted.
Directive 86/362/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.
Directive 86/363/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Directive.
Directive 90/642/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Directive.

Whereas:
(1) Import duties in the rice sector have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1220/2004 (3).
(2) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 10 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/62/EC(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/60/EC(4), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/69/EC(6), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers. In the case of foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides, and where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines. Community maximum residue levels (MRLs) represent the upper limit of the amount of such residues that might be expected to be found in commodities when good agricultural practices have been respected.
(2) MRLs for pesticides are kept under review and changed to take account of new information and data. MRLs are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported by the necessary data.
(3) In the case of fenamiphos, a Member State informed the Commission of its desire to revise national MRLs in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 90/642/EEC, in the light of concerns about consumer intake. A proposal for the review of Community MRLs was submitted to the Commission.
(4) The lifetime and short term exposure of consumers to fenamiphos referred to in this Directive via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation(7). It is calculated that the MRLs fixed in this Directive will not lead to unacceptable consumer exposure.
(5) Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to those pesticides via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the MRLs proposed in this Directive will not cause acute toxic effects.
(6) Through the World Trade Organisation, the Community's trading partners have been consulted about the MRLs proposed in this Directive and their comments on these levels have been taken into account.
(7) The opinions of the Scientific Committee for Plants have been taken into account, in particular its advice and recommendations concerning the methodology to be followed for the protection of consumers of agricultural products treated with pesticides.
(8) The Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1) ,
in cooperation with the European Parliament(2) ,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3) ,
Whereas it is important to adopt measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market is to comprise an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;
Whereas the wholesale distribution of medicinal products is at present subject to different provisions in the various Member States; whereas many operations involving the wholesale distribution of medicinal products for human use may cover several Member States simultaneously;
Whereas it is necessary to exercise control over the entire chain of distribution of medicinal products, from their manufacture or import into the Community through to supply to the public, so as to guarantee that such products are stored, transported and handled in suitable conditions; whereas the requirements which must be adopted for this purpose will considerably facilitate the withdrawal of defective products from the market and allow more effective efforts against counterfeit products;
Whereas any person involved in the wholesale distribution of medicinal products should be in possession of a special authorization; whereas pharmacists and persons authorized to supply medicinal products directly to the public, and who confine themselves to this activity, should be exempt from obtaining this authorization; whereas it is however necessary, in order to control the complete chain of distribution of medicinal products, that pharmacists and persons authorized to supply medicinal products to the public keep records showing transactions in products received;
Whereas authorization must be subject to certain essential conditions and it is the responsibility of the Member State concerned to ensure that such conditions are met; whereas each Member State must recognize authorizations granted by other Member States;
Whereas certain Member States impose on wholesalers who supply medicinal products to pharmacists and on persons authorized to supply medicinal products to the public certain public service obligations; whereas those Member States must be able to continue to impose those obligations on wholesalers established within their territory; whereas they must also be able to impose them on wholesalers in other Member States on condition that they do not impose any obligation more stringent than those which they impose on their own wholesalers and provided that such obligations may be regarded as warranted on grounds of public health protection and are proportionate in relation to the objective of such protection,
1. This Directive covers the wholesale distribution in the Community of medicinal products for human use to which Chapters II to V of Council Directive 65/65/EEC of 26 January 1965 on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to medicinal products(4) apply.
2. For the purposes of this Directive:
- wholesale distribution of medicinal products shall mean all activities consisting of procuring, holding, supplying or exporting medicinal products, apart from supplying medicinal products to the public; such activities are carried out with manufacturers or their depositories, importers, other wholesale distributors or with pharmacists and persons authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public in the Member State concerned,
- public service obligation shall mean the obligation placed on wholesalers to guarantee permanently an adequate range of medicinal products to meet the requirements of a specific geographical area and to deliver the supplies requested within a very short time over the whole of the area in question.
Without prejudice to Article 3 of Directive 65/65/EEC, Member States shall take all appropriate action to ensure that only medicinal products in respect of which a marketing authorization has been granted in accordance with Community law are distributed on their territory.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the wholesale distribution of medicinal products is subject to the possession of an authorization to engage in activity as a wholesaler in medicinal products, stating the place for which it is valid.
2. Where persons authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public may also, under national law, engage in wholesale business, such persons shall be subject to the authorization provided for in paragraph 1.
3. Possession of an authorization, as mentioned in Article 16 of Second Council Directive 75/319/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to proprietary medicinal products(5) , shall include authorization to distribute by wholesale the medicinal products covered by that authorization. Possession of an authorization to engage in activity as a wholesaler in medicinal products shall not give dispensation from the obligation to possess a manufacturing authorization and to comply with the conditions set out in that respect, even where the manufacturing or import business is secondary.
4. At the request of the Commission or any Member State, Member States shall supply all appropriate information concerning the individual authorizations which they have granted under paragraph 1.
5. Checks on the persons and establishments authorized to engage in the activity of wholesaler in medicinal products and the inspection of their premises shall be carried out under the responsibility of the Member State which granted the authorization.
6. The Member State which granted the authorization referred to in paragraph 1 shall suspend or revoke that authorization if the conditions of authorization cease to be met. It shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.
7. Should a Member State consider that, in respect of a person holding an authorization granted by another Member State under the terms of paragraph 1, the conditions of authorization are not, or are no longer, met, it shall forthwith inform the Commission and the other Member State involved. The latter shall take the measures necessary and shall inform the Commission and the first Member State of the decisions taken and the reasons for those decisions.
1. Member States shall ensure that the time taken for the procedure for examining the application for the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) does not exceed 90 days from the day on which the competent authority of the Member State concerned receives the application.
The competent authority may, if need be, require the applicant to supply all necessary information concerning the conditions of authorization. Where the authority exercises this option, the period laid down in this paragraph shall be suspended until the requisite additional data have been supplied.
2. All decisions to refuse, suspend or revoke the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) shall state in detail the reasons on which they are based. A decision shall be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the redress available to him under the laws in force and of the time limit allowed for access to such redress.
In order to obtain the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1), applicants must fulfil the following minimum requirements:
(a) they must have suitable and adequate premises, installations and equipment so as to ensure proper conservation and distribution of the medicinal products;
(b) they must have staff, and in particular a qualified person designated as responsible, meeting the conditions provided for by the legislation of the Member State concerned;
(c) they must undertake to fulfil the obligations incumbent on them under the terms of Article 6.
Holders of the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) must fulfil the following minimum requirements:
(a) they must make the premises, installations and equipment referred to in Article 5 (a) accessible at all times to the persons responsible for inspecting them;
(b) they must obtain their supplies of medicinal products only from persons who are themselves in possession of the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) or who are exempt from obtaining such authorization under the terms of Article 3 (3);
(c) they must supply medicinal products only to persons who are themselves in possession of the authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) or who are authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public in the Member State concerned;
(d) they must have an emergency plan which ensures effective implementation of any recall from the market ordered by the competent authorities or carried out in cooperation with the manufacturer or holder of the marketing authorization for the product concerned;
(e) they must keep records either in the form of purchase/sales invoices, or on computer, or in any other form giving for any transaction in medicinal products received or dispatched at least the following information:
- date,
- name of the medicinal product,
- quantity received or supplied,
- name and address of the supplier or consignee, as appropriate;
(f) they must keep the records referred to under (e) available to the competent authorities, for inspection purposes, for a period of five years;
(g) they must comply with the principles and guidelines of good distribution practice for medicinal products as laid down in Article 10.
With regard to the supply of medicinal products to pharmacists and persons authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public, Member States shall not impose upon the holder of an authorization referred to in Article 3 (1) which has been granted by another Member State, any obligation, in particular public service obligations, more stringent than those they impose on persons whom they have themselves authorized to engage in equivalent activities.
The said obligations should, moreover, be justified, in keeping with the Treaty, on grounds of public health protection and be proportionate in relation to the objective of such protection.
For all supplies of medicinal products to a person authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public in the Member State concerned, the authorized wholesaler must enclose a document that makes it possible to ascertain:
- the date,
- the name and pharmaceutical form of the medicinal product,
- the quantity supplied,
- the name and address of the supplier and consignor.
Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that persons authorized or entitled to supply medicinal products to the public are able to provide information that makes it possible to trace the distribution path of every medicinal product.
The provisions of this Directive shall not prevent the application of more stringent requirements laid down by Member States in respect of the wholesale distribution of:
- narcotic or psychotropic substances within their territory,
- medicinal products derived from blood governed by Directive 89/381/EEC(6) ,
- immunological medicinal products governed by Directive 89/342/EEC(7) ,
- radiopharmaceuticals governed by Directive 89/343/ EEC(8) .

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of 21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferential customs duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (1), and in particular Article 5 (2)(b) thereof;
Whereas:
(1) Following Council Decision 2005/4/EC of 22 December 2004 on the conclusion of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 to the EC-Palestinian Authority Interim Association Agreement (2), it is no longer necessary, since 1 January 2005, to set minimum entry prices for roses and carnations imported from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since the scheme of preferential customs duties will apply to all imports within the quota ceiling.
(2) None the less, these prices were calculated, and the calculations led to the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 72/2005 (3).
(3) It is therefore necessary to re-establish the preferential customs duties introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95 (4).
(4) Regulation (EC) No 72/2005 should therefore be repealed with effect from its date of entry into force, since the customs duties collected under this Regulation can be reimbursed under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (5) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6).
(5) The Commission must take these measures in between the meetings of the Management Committee for Live Plants,
Regulation (EC) No 72/2005 is hereby repealed with effect from 18 January 2005.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 provides for the gradual introduction in the Community of a quotation system for carcases with a view to establishing the market prices for beef;
Whereas in order to obtain comparable prices in the Community it is appropriate to refer, for recording market prices for carcases of adult bovine animals, to a well-defined marketing stage and to determine the corrective factors needed to adjust the presentations used in certain Member States to the Community reference presentation;
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform classification of the carcases of adult bovine animals in the Community, it is necessary to define certain rules for applying the classification system, in particular a criterion for differentiating between categories of uncastrated male animals;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the period set by its chairman,
1. The market price to be established on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals, referred to in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81, shall be the price delivered to the slaughterhouse, net of all taxes, paid to the supplier for the animal. This price shall be expressed per 100 kg of carcase presented according to the reference presentation provided for in Article 2 (2) of the same Regulation, weighed and classified on the hook at the slaughterhouse.
2. The weight to be taken into account shall be:
- the weight of the carcase after chilling, or
- the hot weight of the carcase taken as soon as possible after slaughter, less 2 %.
3. In the case where the presentation of the carcase, after weighing and classifying on the hook, differs from the reference presentation, the weight of the carcase shall be adjusted by application of the corrective factors specified in the Annex. In this case the price for each 100 kg of carcase shall be adjusted accordingly.
For the application of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 the carcases of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years shall be distinguished from the carcases of other uncastrated male animals by the degree of ossification of the spinous processus of the dorsal vertebrae.
The cartilaginous extremities of the spinous processus of the first nine dorsal vertebrae must not show signs of ossification in carcases of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years.
The removal of external fat referred to in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 shall involve exclusively the partial removal of external fat:
- from the haunch, the sirloin and the middle ribs,
- from the point end of brisket, the outer ano-genital area and the tail,
- from the topside.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas a programme of action of the European Communities on the environment was adopted by the declaration of 22 November 1973 (3), and supplemented by the resolution of 17 May 1977 (4); whereas the aim of an environment policy in the Community, as defined in these acts, is to improve the setting and quality of life and the surroundings and living conditions of the peoples of the Community; whereas to this end it is, in particular, necessary to ensure the sound management of resources and of the natural environment and avoid any exploitation of them which causes significant damage to the ecological balance; whereas, further, common solutions to environment problems with States outside the Community should be sought, particularly in international organizations;
Whereas, as part of the Community programme of action on the environment, the Council adopted Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds (5), which covers the protection, management and control of these species and lays down rules for their exploitation;
Whereas the Community has participated in negotiations within the Council of Europe for a Convention on the conservation of European wildlife and natural habitats; whereas that Convention was signed on 19 September 1979;
Whereas participation by the Community in the implementation of the said Convention is necessary in order to attain one of the objectives of the Community; whereas the powers necessary for this end are not provided for by the Treaty, other than Article 235 thereof;
Whereas the Community will take part in such implementation by exercising the powers resulting from existing common rules and those acquired by it by virtue of future acts adopted by the Council as well as by making use of the results of Community action (research — exchange of information) undertaken in the areas concerned;
Whereas it is necessary for the Community to approve the said Convention;
Whereas the conditions of life for wild flora and fauna in Greenland are fundamentally different from those of wild flora and fauna in the other regions of the Community because of the general circumstances and in particular the climate, the low density of population and the exceptional size and geographical situation of the island; whereas, because of this fact, the Council has already had to exclude Greenland from the scope of the Directive on the conservation of wild birds; whereas therefore Greenland should also be excluded from the scope of the Convention,
The Convention on the conservation of European wildlife and natural habitats is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Convention is annexed to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall deposit the instrument of approval as provided for in Article 19 of the Convention (6) for the territories in which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied under the conditions laid down in that Treaty, with the exception of Greenland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) The Union is a Party to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (3) (‘the Convention’).
(2) At its 16th Special Meeting in 2008, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (‘ICCAT’), established by the Convention, adopted Recommendation 08-05 to establish a new recovery plan for Bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and in the Mediterranean, replacing the previous recovery plan adopted in 2006. Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 (4) was adopted to implement those international conservation measures at Union level.
(3) At its 17th Special Meeting in 2010, ICCAT adopted Recommendation 10-04 amending the multiannual recovery plan for Bluefin tuna. Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 was then amended by Regulation (EU) No 500/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) to implement those revised international conservation measures at Union level.
(4) At its 18th Special Meeting in 2012, ICCAT adopted Recommendation 12-03 further amending the multiannual recovery plan for Bluefin tuna. In order to better adapt the fishing seasons to the activity of the fleets, Recommendation 12-03 provides for a modification of the fishing seasons, which are now defined as open seasons, as opposed to closed seasons indicated in the previous ICCAT Recommendations. In addition, the actual dates on which fishing is permitted by purse seiners, baitboats and trolling boats have been modified. Finally, to avoid any uncertainty for those gears which are not subject to any specific rules on fishing seasons, it was necessary to include a provision explicitly allowing all other gears, with the exception of all kinds of driftnets, the possibility to fish all year round. The periods and the dates of the fishing seasons in the Atlantic may be reviewed by ICCAT in 2015, following advice from the Standing Committee on Research and Statistics of ICCAT (SCRS).
(5) At its 23rd Regular Meeting in November 2013, ICCAT adopted Recommendation 13-08 complementing Recommendation 12-03, in order to allow modifications to the fishing seasons for baitboats and trolling boats in the eastern Atlantic that do not affect the protection of the Bluefin tuna spawning grounds in the Mediterranean. That ICCAT Recommendation states that the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities may specify a different starting date for the fishing seasons for their baitboats and trolling boats operating in the eastern Atlantic, while keeping the total duration of the open season for those fisheries. That ICCAT Recommendation also lays down rules for the use of stereoscopic cameras in the context of caging operations. It is the intention that all the technical specifications, including the sampling intensity, the way of sampling, the distance from the camera, the dimensions of the transfer gate, algorithms (length-weight relationship) be reviewed by the SCRS at its 2014 meeting, and if necessary modified by ICCAT at its 2014 meeting based on SCRS recommendations.

Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 7 is replaced by the following:
(2) the following Article is inserted:
(a) the sampling intensity of live fish shall not be below 20 % of the amount of fish being caged; when technically possible, the sampling of live fish shall be sequential, one in every five specimens being measured; such a sample shall be made up of fish measured at a distance of between 2 and 8 m from the camera;
(b) the dimensions of the transfer gate connecting the donor cage and the receiving cage shall be set at a maximum width of 10 m and a maximum height of 10 m;
(c) when the length measurements of the fish present a multi-modal distribution (two or more cohorts of distinct sizes), it shall be possible to use more than one conversion algorithm for the same caging operation; the most up to date algorithms established by the Standing Committee on Research and Statistics of ICCAT shall be used to convert fork lengths into total weights, according to the size category of the fish measured during the caging operation;
(d) the validation of the stereoscopical length measurements shall be undertaken prior to each caging operation using a scale bar at a distance of between 2 and 8 m;
(e) when the results of the stereoscopical programme are communicated, the information shall indicate the margin of error inherent to the technical specifications of the stereoscopic camera system, which shall not exceed +/- 5 %.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 518/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland of the other part (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2233/93 (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 519/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Commuity and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary of the other part (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2234/93 (4), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related mattes between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic of the other part (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2235/93 (6), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas the Agreements between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary (7), the Federal Republic of Poland (8) and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (9), hereinafter called 'the CSFR', of the other part, were signed on 16 October 1991; whereas pending the entry into force of those Agreements, the Community decided to apply with effect from 1 March 1992, Interim Agreements concluded with the aforesaid countries, hereinafter referred to as 'Interim Agreements';
Whereas the abovementioned Agreements provide for a reduction in the levy and in the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) duty on imports of fresh, chilled or frozen beef falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202, limited to certain quantities;
Whereas Council Decision 93/421/EEC (10) provides for the provisional application of the initialled Additional Protocols to the said Interim Agreements with effect from 1 July 1993 with a view to improving access to the Community market for products originating in the countries concerned, and in particular certain agricultural products listed in Annexes Xb (Poland and Hungary) and XIIIb (territory of the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic) to the Interim Agreements;
Whereas the abovementioned Additional Protocols lay down that the quantities of fresh, chilled or frozen beef falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 specified in Annexes Xb and XIIIb respectively to the Interim Agreements are to be subject to a reduction of 60 % in the levy and in the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) duty from 1 July 1993 and that the quantities fixed in tonnes for the year 1994 are applicable from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994;
Whereas to ensure the regularity of imports of the quantities fixed for year 3, those quantities should be spread over the period 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994;
Whereas provision is also made for the quantities of meat exported from one of the three beneficiary countries in the context of triangular operations receiving Community financial assistance to be deducted from the available quantities; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for calculation mechanisms to take account of those operations;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the Interim Agreements intended to guarantee the origin of the product, the system should be managed on the basis of import licences; whereas, to that end, detailed rules should be laid down concerning, in particular, the submission of applications and the information which must be included on the applications and licences, notwithstanding certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1963/93 (12), and of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (13), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2292/93 (14); whereas it should also be laid down that the licences are to be issued after a delay for consideration and, where necessary, with the application of a single percentage reduction;
Whereas, in order to ensure efficient management of the system, provision should be made for the security in respect of the import licences under the said system to be fixed at ECU 10 per 100 kilograms; whereas the risk of speculation inherent in the system in question in the beef and veal sector requires that access to the system should be subject to precise conditions;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3589/92 (15), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2292/93, should be repealed with effect from 1 July 1993, the date of entry into force of Additional Protocols; whereas, however, the import licences for the quantities available for the period 1 July to 30 September 1993 have already been issued on the basis of the abovementioned Regulation; whereas to ensure a smooth transition from the old to the new provisions and in particular to ensure that all the quantities covered by the said licences, whether or not they have already been imported, qualify for the increase in the reduction in the rates of levy and CCT duty applicable to 60 %, the quantities should be subject to the provisions of this Regulation and provision should be made for amounts paid in excess to be refunded;
Whereas the quantities available in respect of the period 1 July to 30 September 1993 for which import licences have not been issued must be added to the quantities specified in respect of the period 1 October to 31 December 1993 in accordance with
Article 1
(3) of this Regulation; whereas such quantities should therefore be determined;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The quantity of beef which may be imported from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 within the framework of the import arrangements established in Article 14 of the Interim Agreement shall be fixed at:
- 4 800 tonnes for meat originating in Poland,
- 5 800 tonnes for meat originating in Hungary,

- 25 % during the period 1 January to 31 March 1994,
- 25 % during the period 1 April to 30 June 1994.
From the quantities available during the last period shall be deducted the quantities which are the subject of the triangular operations referred to in Annexes Xb to the Agreements with Poland and Hungary and Annex XIIIb to the Agreement with the former CSFR. However, the total quantities available for year 3 may not be less than the minimum quantities indicated therein.
3. If, during year 3, the quantity for which applications for import licences have been submitted for the first, second or third period specified in the previous paragraph is less than the available quantity, the quantity remaining shall be added to the quantity available for the following period.
1. The reduced import levy applicable to beef and veal shall amount to 60 % of the full rates applying on the day of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.

Having regard to Council Decision 2010/231/CFSP of 26 April 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Somalia and repealing Common Position 2009/138/CFSP (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 26 April 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/231/CFSP.
(2) On 19 December 2014, the United Nations Security Council Committee, established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolutions 751 (1992) and 1907 (2009), deleted one person from the list of persons subject to the restrictive measures set out in paragraphs 1, 3 and 7 of Security Council Resolution 1844 (2008).

Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(3), as last amended by Directive 98/82/EC, and in particular Article 4(4)(a) thereof,
(1) Whereas Article 7(2)(a) of Directive 86/362/EEC and Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 90/642/EEC require the Member States to submit to the Commission by 30 June each year their forward national monitoring programmes for the following year for pesticides residues in or on fruit, vegetables and cereals; whereas experience gained by the Member States in planning, establishing, carrying out, evaluating and reporting on previous annual monitoring programmes indicates that this deadline is impractical in that it leaves insufficient time to take into account during their planning for the following year the results from the previous year; whereas an additional period of three months is considered sufficient for adequate evaluation of previous results and planning of forward national monitoring programmes;
(2) Whereas Article 7(2)(b) of Directive 86/362/EEC and Article 4(2)(b) of Directive 90/642/EEC require the Commission to submit to the Standing Committee on Plant Health by 30 September each year a draft recommendation setting out a coordinated Community monitoring programme identifying the taking of specific samples to be included in the monitoring programme; whereas the content of such a draft recommendation is contingent on the information provided by the Member States on their forward monitoring programmes; whereas an additional three-month period for the submission of national plans by the Member States to the Commission would entrain a three-month delay in the submission of a draft recommendation by the Commission to the Standing Committee on Plant Health;
(3) Whereas in practice the Commission and the Member States plan coordinated Community monitoring programmes on a multi-annual basis;
(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 November 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| 28.6.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 190/69
COUNCIL DECISION
of 20 June 2014
abrogating Decision 2010/284/EU on the existence of an excessive deficit in the Czech Republic
(2014/405/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 2 December 2009, following a recommendation from the Commission, the Council decided, in Decision 2010/284/EU (1), that an excessive deficit existed in the Czech Republic. The Council noted that the general government deficit in the Czech Republic was planned to reach 6,6 % of GDP in 2009, thus above the 3 % of-GDP-Treaty reference value, while the general government gross debt was expected to reach 35,5 % of GDP in 2009, well below the 60 %-of-GDP Treaty reference value. The general government deficit and debt for 2009 were subsequently revised to 5,8 % and 34,6 % of GDP, respectively.
(2) On 2 December 2009, in accordance with Article 126(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 (2), the Council, based on a recommendation from the Commission, addressed a Recommendation to the Czech Republic with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end by 2013 at the latest. That Council Recommendation was made public.
(3) In accordance with Article 4 of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaties, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of that Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (3).
(4) When considering whether a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit ought to be abrogated, the Council is to take a decision on the basis of notified data. Moreover, a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit should be abrogated only if the Commission forecasts indicate that the deficit will not exceed the 3 %-of-GDP Treaty reference value over the forecast horizon (4).
(5) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2009, following the notification by the Czech Republic before 1 April 2014, and on the Commission services 2014 spring forecast, the following conclusions are justified:
— Having peaked at 5,8 % of GDP in 2009, the general government deficit in the Czech Republic was brought down and reached 1,5 % of GDP in 2013, which was the deadline set by the Council. This improvement was driven by consolidation both on the expenditure and the revenue side, in particular by increases in indirect taxation and cuts in public investment.
— The 2014 Convergence Programme of the Czech Republic projects an increase in the general government deficit to 1,8 % of GDP in 2014 and to 2,3 % of GDP in 2015, while the Commission services 2014 spring forecast projects the general government deficit to reach 1,9 % of GDP in 2014 and 2,4 % of GDP in 2015, based on a no-policy-change assumption. Thus, the deficit is set to remain below the 3 %-of-GDP Treaty reference value over the forecast horizon.
— The structural balance, that is the general government balance adjusted for the economic cycle and net of one-off and other temporary measures, improved on average by 1,4 % of GDP a year over the period 2010-2013. It is forecast to deteriorate by 1 % of GDP in 2014 (to — 1,1 % of GDP) and by a further 0,8 % of GDP in 2015, based on a no-policy-change assumption.
— The debt-to-GDP ratio increased by 11,5 percentage points between 2009 and 2013 to 46 %. The Commission services 2014 spring forecast projects the general government gross debt to fall temporarily to 44,4 % of GDP in 2014 and to increase to 45,8 % of GDP in 2015.
(6) Starting from 2014, which is the year following the correction of the excessive deficit, the Czech Republic is subject to the preventive arm of the Stability and Growth Pact and should maintain its structural balance at or above its medium-term budgetary objective.
(7) In accordance with Article 126(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.
(8) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in the Czech Republic has been corrected and Decision 2010/284/EU should therefore be abrogated,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in the Czech Republic has been corrected.
Decision 2010/284/EU is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) Article 157 of the Treaty establishing the European Community has assigned to the Community and the Member States the task of ensuring that the conditions required for the competitiveness of the Community's industry exist.
(2) On the grounds of rationalisation and in order to facilitate the integration of the Commission's work on good practice and coordination with the Member States, as stated in the Commission communication "challenges for enterprise policy in the knowledge-driven economy"(1), the Commission requires a body for reflection, debate and advice, consisting of high-level experts from the enterprise community and representatives of the Member States, entitled the "Enterprise policy group" (EPG), in order to examine general enterprise policy issues and to assist the Commission in the identification and dissemination of good practice.
(3) In order to achieve greater transparency and efficiency in enterprise policy and to enable it to play a more strategic role in meeting challenges in the knowledge-driven economy, the EPG should comprise two sections, the first comprising representatives from the Member States, and the second comprising eminent persons, chosen by the Commission from a wide range of highly and appropriately qualified applicants, active in industry, services, the business community or in fields of activity linked to the development of innovation and the knowledge-driven economy.
(4) In order to allow adequate representation of the Directors-General of industry and of the national authorities responsible for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it is appropriate that the Members States may appoint up to two representatives for the first section.
(5) The EPG should therefore be set up and its terms of reference and internal organisation should be defined.
(6) In order to guarantee an adequate representation of SMEs, a fixed allowance should be provided for those participating in the work of the EPG who are employed by an SME.
(7) The Committee on Commerce and Distribution and the Consultative Committee for Cooperatives, Mutual Societies, Associations and Foundations should be dissolved,
An Enterprise policy group, hereinafter referred to as "the group", whose members are appointed by the Commission, is hereby established by the Commission. Its task is to advise the Commission on enterprise policy issues.
1. The Group shall consist of two Sections:
- A first Section (Directors-General), comprising up to two representatives from each Member State, nominated by each Member State,
- A second professional chamber, comprising up to 40 members appointed by the Commission, representing a wide range of expertise in domains of importance to enterprises.
2. Working groups may be set up to study specific subjects on the basis of a mandate.
3. The Commission may invite experts to participate in the work of the group, sections or working groups.
4. The group, its sections and working groups shall meet in the form and according to the timetable determined by the Commission. The Commission shall chair the meetings and Commission officials may take part in them.
5. The group and its sections shall adopt their rules of procedure on the basis of a draft presented by the Commission. The Commission departments shall provide the secretariat.
6. The Commission may publish on the Internet, in the original language of the document concerned, any conclusion, summary, part conclusion or working paper relating to the group or its sections.
The following provisions shall apply for the second section:
- appointment shall be in a personal capacity and advice should be given to the Commission independently of any outside instruction,
- information obtained through the work of the group, its sections or working groups, shall not be divulged, where it is stated by the Commission to relate to a confidential matter,
- the term of office of members shall be two years, renewable. They shall remain in office until they are replaced, or until the expiry of their term of office,
- members who are no longer able to make an effective contribution to the work of the group, who resign or who breach the requirements set out in the first or second indent of the present Article or in Article 287 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, may be replaced for the remainder of their term,
- The names of the members shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Travel and subsistence expenses incurred by members, observers and experts, in connection with the activities of the group, shall be reimbursed by the Commission in accordance with the provisions in force within the Commission. Their functions shall not be remunerated. Nevertheless, the Commissioner responsible for enterprise policy may decide that members, observers or experts who are employed by a small or medium-sized enterprise(2), may also be compensated for the costs resulting from preparatory work and of being away from their enterprise, by a fixed allowance of EUR 500 a day, to a maximum of 10 days a year.
Commission Decisions 81/428/EEC(3) and 98/215/EC(4) are hereby repealed.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply until 31 December 2005. The Commission will decide whether to extend it or not before that date. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2182/2004
of 6 December 2004
concerning medals and tokens similar to euro coins
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third sentence of Article 123(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
Whereas:
(1) On 1 January 1999, the euro became the legal currency of the participating Member States in accordance with the requirements of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/1998 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (2) and of those third countries which have concluded an agreement with the Community on the introduction of the euro, namely Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 975/1998 of 3 May 1998 on denominations and technical specifications of euro coins intended for circulation (3) defined the basic features of euro coins. Euro coins, following their introduction in January 2002, circulate throughout the euro area as sole legal tender in metallic form.
(3) Commission Recommendation 2002/664/EC of 19 August 2002 concerning medals and tokens similar to the euro coins (4) recommended that certain visual characteristics should be avoided in the sale and production, stocking, importation and distribution, for sale or for other commercial purposes, of medals and tokens whose size is close to that of euro coins.
(4) The Commission Communication of 23 July 1997 on the use of the euro symbol established the symbol ‘€’ and called upon all currency users to use the symbol for the description of monetary amounts denominated in euro.
(5) The Commission communication of 22 October 2001 on copyright protection of the common face design of the euro coins (5) defined the arrangements to be applied for the reproduction of the common face design of euro coins.
(6) The visual characteristics of the euro coins were published by the Commission on 28 December 2001 (6).
(7) Citizens may be led to believe that medals and tokens bearing the terms ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’, the euro symbol, or a design similar to that which appears on the common face or on any of the national sides of the euro coins, have legal-tender status in any of the Member States that have adopted the euro, or in a participating third country.
(8) There is an increasing risk that medals and tokens having a size and metal properties similar to euro coins may be unlawfully used in the place of euro coins.
(9) It is therefore appropriate that medals and tokens having visual characteristics, size or metal properties which are similar to euro coins should not be sold, produced, imported or distributed for the purpose of sale or for other commercial purposes.
(10) It is for each Member State to introduce applicable sanctions for infringements, with a view to achieving an equivalent protection of the euro against similar medals and tokens throughout the Community.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘euro’ means the legal currency of participating Member States as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 974/98 and of those participating third countries which have concluded an agreement with the Community on the introduction of the euro (hereinafter referred to as participating third countries);
(b) ‘euro symbol’ means the symbol representing the euro ‘€’ as shown and described in Annex I;
(c) ‘medals and tokens’ means those metallic objects, other than blanks intended for striking coins, which have the appearance and/or technical properties of a coin but are not issued under national or participating third country legislative provisions or other foreign legislative provisions, and which therefore are neither a legal means of payment nor legal tender;
(d) ‘gold’, ‘silver’ and ‘platinum’ mean alloys containing gold, silver and platinum with a millesimal fineness in weight of at least 375, 500 and 850 respectively. This definition shall not concern hallmarking conventions applicable in Member States;
(e) ‘European Technical and Scientific Centre’ (hereinafter referred to as ETSC) means the entity established by the Commission Decision of 29 October 2004;
(f) ‘reference band’ shall have the meaning given to it in Section 1 of Annex II.
Protective provisions
Subject to Articles 3 and 4, the production and sale of medals and tokens, and their importation and distribution for sale or for other commercial purposes, shall be prohibited in the following circumstances:
(a) when the terms ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or the euro symbol appear on their surface; or
(b) when their size is inside the reference band; or
(c) when any design appearing on the surface of medals and tokens is similar to any of the national obverse designs or to the common reverse face of euro coins, or is identical or similar to the edge design of the two-euro coin.
Exemptions
1. Medals and tokens bearing the terms ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or the euro symbol without an associated nominal value shall not be prohibited when their size is outside the reference band.
2. Medals and tokens whose size is inside the reference band shall not be prohibited when:
(a) they are pierced with a hole of over 6 millimetres in the centre, or when their shape is polygonal but not exceeding six edges, provided the condition under point (c)(ii) is respected; or

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (5), lays down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, under Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of, firstly, the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, secondly, the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetables sector, and thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses, including supply of the processing industry;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers and the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and in the major competing third countries;
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 provides for the establishment of a system of monetary adjustment with the aim of correcting production aid by the impact, on the minimum price minus the aid, of the differences between the agricultural conversion rate and the average of the market exchange rates during a period to be determined; whereas, in view of the current market situation and in order to ensure normal competition with third countries, such a system of adjustment should be implemented by applying a coefficient to the aid;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/93 (7), establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to be divided by a coefficient of 1,013088 fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (8), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (9), as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down that the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation', and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas,
A. Provisional measures (1) By Decision 91/512/EEC (2), the Commission accepted undertakings given in connection with the review of anti-dumping measures concerning imports of artificial corundum originating in the Soviet Union, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and the People's Republic of China and in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of artificial corundum originating in Brazil and Yugoslavia. By Council Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 (3), a definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed on imports of artificial corundum originating in the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, with the exception of those imports sold for export to the Community by companies whose undertakings had been accepted.
(2) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1418/94 (4), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of artificial corundum falling within CN code 2818 10 00 (Taric additional code: 8725), originating in the People's Republic of China and exported to the Community by the following companies:
- CMEC - China National Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Co., Beijing,
- The second abrasive wheel factory of China, Zhengzhou, Henan,
- Mount Tai Co. of the fourth Grinding Wheel factory of China, Zhangian, ZiBo, Sha Dong,
- Shandong Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Co., Qingdao,
- Guandong Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Group Co., Guangzhou,
- CAEC - China Abrasives Import and Export Co., Zhengzhou, Henan.
This provisional duty was imposed in accordance with Article 10 (6) of the Basic Regulation, as the Commission has reason to believe that the undertakings of the abovementioned exporters had been violated, and that Community interests called for such intervention. The rate of duty was 30,8 % of the net free-at-Community frontier price of the product before customs duty, and was based on the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking.
B. Subsequent procedure (3) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), on behalf of the Community industry of artificial corundum, and the Machine Tool and Tool Branch Chamber of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce (CCC), on behalf of the exporters concerned, made their views known in writing and, at their request, were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. Both parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty and the definitive collection of the amounts secured by way of the provisional duty, and were granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.
The views of both parties were considered, which resulted in the position adopted below.
C. Definitive duty (4) The CCC contested the need for a provisional or definitive duty, arguing that the exports covered by the undertaking were not dumped and had been made in small volumes only and that the exporters concerned had not violated the substantive terms of the undertaking. Violation of the procedural terms of the undertaking was admitted. The idea was raised of a new price undertaking, without, however, a precise offer being made. A review was also requested, based on the same claim that exports covered by the undertaking were not dumped, and on the claim that the undertaking price was above EC market prices.
(5) Cefic argued for the quick introduction of definitive duties, given the alleged ineffectiveness of the undertaking. Cefic underlined that the volume of imports of artificial corundum from China as a whole had more than quadrupled from 4 149 tonnes in 1991 to 17 324 tonnes in 1993 following the acceptance of the undertakings, that the largest part of these exports was covered by the undertaking and that export prices had on average fallen by 14 %. This import situation had contributed to the announced closure of two plants of Community industry and to a decline in production volumes, capacity utilization, prices and profitability for the Community producers. Cefic confirmed that, despite this precarious situation, an important Community industry for artificial corundum still existed, with an estimated 400 jobs at stake in the short term.
(6) The Council considers that undertakings can operate satisfactorily only if strict compliance exists in respect of the reporting and other procedural obligations that permit the Commission to verify whether the substantive terms of the undertaking are being correctly implemented. It was precisely because of the non-compliance with the reporting requirement, admitted by the CCC, that the Commission was prevented from determining to what precise degree the Chinese exporters still complied with their substantive obligations.
Furthermore, the Commission has written evidence in its possession that price offers and sales were made by Chinese exporters covered by the undertaking to Community customers at prices well below those stipulated in the undertaking. In some cases this concerned Chinese exporters, or local subsidiaries or branches thereof, that claimed not to have exported anything to the Community, thus discrediting the Chinese claim that exports covered by the undertaking were small in volume. This evidence was disclosed in non-confidential form to the CCC, which was unable to rebut it. In any case, even if the quantity exported under the undertaking was small, this is no excuse for not respecting the price stipulated in the undertaking. A violation of the substantive terms of the undertakings has therefore also been determined definitively.
Once an undertaking has been violated, whether in terms of procedure or substance, or, as in this case, both, there is normally no valid reason for the Commission to maintain or renew the undertaking. By not complying with the terms of the undertaking, exporters know and accept in advance the consequences that may flow therefrom. In this case, it was established that all six Chinese exporters violated the terms of the undertaking in one way or another. In addition, it was established that the CCC, which has acted as cosignatory of the undertaking and has represented all of the six exporters concerned before the Commission, could not be relied upon to ensure the correct functioning of the undertaking in respect of those exporters. This undertaking has therefore proved unreliable as a whole. The Council thus considers that the imposition of a definitive duty on all six Chinese exporters is in the interest of the Community, in order to prevent injury to the Community industry from imports into the Community that are no longer effectively controlled by an undertaking.
(7) This interest is not outweighed by the interests of the industrial users of artificial corundum. They have had an exceptional advantage resulting from unfair low prices, which under normal trading conditions would not have existed. It is the basic purpose of anti-dumping measures to restore normal conditions. This price benefit to companies which use artificial corundum as one input into their production process is, in any case, minor in comparison with the very survival of an entire Community industry which is at stake in the case of artificial corundum, as documented by Cefic. The Council therefore considers that in this respect the same considerations regarding Community interest still apply as mentioned in Decision 91/512/EEC accepting the undertakings, and confirmed in September 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 imposing a residual duty. No comments were received from users of artificial corundum that contested this view.
(8) The arguments by the CCC that exports are not submitted have been examined. In this context it was submitted that China is no longer a non-market economy country, that Chinese export prices are higher than prices in the Chinese market, and that under the market mechanism prices cannot be lower than cost of production. The Council observes, in this respect, that China is regarded as a non-market economy country, that its domestic prices therefore cannot be used to prove an absence of dumping, and that even in a market economy, experience indicates that it is quite possible for prices to be below full cost of production.
It was also argued that the undertaking price would be above Community market prices. Even if true, this would not be relevant as there is no reason to believe that the undertaking price is at a level higher than necessary to remove the injury to the Community industry. The prices currently prevailing in the Community market are not prices that permit the Community industry a reasonable profit, the more so as those prices are influenced by the same Chinese exporters that violated their undertaking by offering artificial corundum at lower prices. The closure of two additional plants of the Community industry is an indication that reasonable profits are in fact not being made.
(9) In its Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 imposing a residual duty, the Council considered that the findings of the original investigation, including those on dumping and injury resulting therefrom, remained reliable and that the residual duty introduced at that time for other Chinese exporters than the ones from which undertakings had been accepted could be based thereon. The export prices now advanced by the CCC to demonstrate an absence of dumping are well below the injury threshold and do not indicate that these findings need to be revised downward. The Council therefore considers that the level of the duty should be set at 30,8 %, as determined originally for the People's Republic of China.
(10) Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 exempted the six Chinese exporters concerned from the country-wide duty of 30,8 %, on the basis that undertakings had been accepted from them. Since those undertakings have now been violated, this exemption should be revoked. The Council thus considers that Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 should be amended so as to apply the same duty of 30,8 % to all Chinese exporters.
D. Collection of provisional duty (11) In view of the seriousness of violating an undertaking, it is considered necessary to collect definitively and in their entirety the amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1418/94,
The references to the People's Republic of China and the six Chinese exporters mentioned in Article 1 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2552/93 shall be deleted.
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1418/94 shall be definitively collected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease in poultry and birds and there is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/648/EC of 8 September 2005 concerning protection measures in relation to Newcastle disease in Bulgaria (3) was adopted following an outbreak of Newcastle disease in the administrative region of Vratsa. That Decision suspends the importation of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game and hatching eggs, fresh meat and meat preparations and meat products from these species.
(3) On 23 January 2006 Bulgaria confirmed an outbreak of Newcastle disease in the administrative district of Blagoevgrad in Bulgaria.
(4) Taking account of the current epidemiology situation in Bulgaria in relation to Newcastle disease and the fact that that country has applied certain disease control measures and has sent further information on the disease situation to the Commission. On the basis of this information, it appears that the situation in Bulgaria, except for the regions of Vratsa and Blagoevgrad is still satisfactory. It is therefore appropriate to limit the suspension of imports to those regions and to prolong the period of application of Decision 2005/648/EC.
(5) The Annex to Decision 2005/648/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to authorise imports of meat products subjected to a heat treatment sufficient to inactivate any possible virus in the meat, it is necessary to specify the required treatment for poultry meat in the health certificates drawn up in accordance with Annexes III and IV to Commission Decision 2005/432/EC (4).
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/648/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 5 the date ‘23 August 2006’ is replaced by ‘23 January 2007’;

of 3 November 2006
establishing revised ecological criteria and the related assessment and verification requirements for the award of the Community eco-label to soil improvers
(notified under document number C(2006) 5369)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/799/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-Labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a timely review has been carried out of the ecological criteria, as well as of the related assessment and verification requirements, established by Commission Decision 2001/688/EC (2) for the award of the Community eco-label to soil improvers and growing media.
(2) In the light of that review, it is appropriate to divide the product group into two separate product groups.
(3) Decision 2001/688/EC should therefore be replaced by two separate Decisions, for soil improvers and growing media respectively.
(4) As regards soil improvers, it is also appropriate in the light of the review, in order to take account of scientific and market developments, to revise the criteria and requirements relating to soil improvers, the period of validity of which expires on 28 August 2007.
(5) The revised ecological criteria and requirements should be valid for a period of four years.
(6) It is appropriate to allow a transitional period of not more than 18 months for producers whose products have been awarded the eco-label before 1 October 2006 or who have applied for such an award before that date, so that they have sufficient time to adapt their products to comply with the revised criteria and requirements.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000,
The product group ‘soil improvers’ shall comprise materials to be added to the soil in situ primarily to maintain or improve its physical properties, and which may improve its chemical and/or biological properties or activity.
In order to be awarded the Community eco-label for soil improvers, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, a product must fall within the product group ‘soil improvers’ as defined in Article 1, and must comply with the ecological criteria set out in the Annex to this Decision.
The environmental performance of the product group ‘soil improvers’ shall be assessed by reference to the specific ecological criteria set out in the Annex.
For administrative purposes, the code number assigned to the product group ‘soil improvers’ shall be ‘003’.
Decision 2001/688/EC is repealed.
Eco-labels awarded before 1 October 2006 in respect of products falling within the product group ‘soil improvers and growing media’ may continue to be used until 30 April 2008.
Where applications have been submitted before 1 October 2006 for award of the eco-label in respect of products falling within the product group ‘soil improvers and growing media’, those products may be awarded the eco-label under the conditions applicable until 28 August 2007. In such cases, the eco-label may be used until 30 April 2008.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
