Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Protocol 18 and, subsequently, Regulation (EEC) No 1655/76 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 482/81 (2), as well as Regulation (EEC) No 858/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1212/83 (4), have authorized the United Kingdom to import certain quantities of New Zealand butter on special terms until 31 December 1983;
Whereas Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 858/81 provides that the Council, on the basis of a report and a proposal from the Commission should review the functioning of these arrangements with a view to a decision on arrangements for the import of New Zealand butter after 1 January 1984; whereas, however, the Council was not able to agree on new import arrangements in good time; whereas, in order to prevent an interruption of the imports, a temporary authorization was granted by Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1384/84 (6), covering a period of seven months;
Whereas in order to contribute, in accordance with the common interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, arrangements should be made to permit New Zealand to continue to export butter to the United Kingdom on special terms, provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83;
Whereas experience has shown that it is in the interests of both the Community and New Zealand that the arrangements be established on a multiannual basis for a period of five years; whereas these quantities should be fixed for an initial period ending on 31 December 1986;
Whereas it is desirable that the quantities to be imported in 1987 and 1988 be fixed on the basis of a Commission report on the market situation; whereas it is important that the Council decide before 31 December 1988 on the subsequent maintenance of exceptional arrangements for imports of New Zealand butter;
Whereas the arrangements laid down in this Regulation must embody measures to avoid jeopardizing the balance of the United Kingdom butter market; whereas to this end the quantities of New Zealand butter imported under these arrangements may be fixed on a degressive scale,
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 2
1. These arrangements shall apply during the period 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1988.
The quantities which may be imported shall be:
- 83 000 tonnes in the 1984 calendar year,
- 81 000 tonnes in the 1985 calendar year,
- 79 000 tonnes in the 1986 calendar year.
For the 1987 and 1988 calendar years the Council shall, after a report from the Commission on the market situation and acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, determine before 1 August of the previous year the quantities which may be imported the following year.
2. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission may temporarily reduce the quantities referred to in paragraph 1 in order to prevent serious disruption of the United Kingdom butter market, particularly in the case of a substantial fall in direct butter consumption.
3. Before 1 August 1988 the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission accompanied by a report, shall take a decision on the maintenance of the exceptional arrangements from 1 January 1989.'

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2315/86 (2), and in particular Article 21 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 envisages inter alia that where the free-at-frontier price of a specified product, imported from a third country, stays below the reference price during at least three successive marketing days and where considerable quantities of that product are imported, imports of products listed, inter alia, in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 may be made subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price is at least equal to the reference price;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3191/82 (3) laid down detailed rules for the reference price system in the fishery products sector and in particular for the determination of the free-at-frontier price referred to in Article 21 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81;
Whereas the reference price for frozen squid, listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, for the 1987 fishing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4105/86 (4);
Whereas for the first five months of 1987 it has been established that Italy has imported squid of the genus Loligo, of species Loligo patagonica, originating in Poland, in frozen form, whole and non-cleaned, at abnormally low prices;
Whereas, for the above products, the free-at-frontier price of significant quantities remained below the reference price for three consecutive working days;
Whereas, since the imported product has the same commercial characteristics as the Community product, these imports have caused a fall in prices of the latter, which has resulted in particular in a fall on the Italian market of up to 30 % of the 1986 average annual price; whereas, in view of the expected volume of imports, and their prices, there is a danger that this price situation could continue or even worsen in the coming months; whereas, in order to avoid distrubances due to offers at abnormally low prices, it is necessary to require imports for the products in question to observe the reference price;
Whereas, according to the second paragraph of Article 21 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81, in the intervals between the periodic meetings of the Management Committee for Fishery Products, the measures provided for in this Regulation can be adopted by the Commission,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 20 November 2006
amending and extending Decision 2001/923/EC establishing an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting (the Pericles programme)
(2006/849/EC)
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 Parliament,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(3)(a) of Council Decision 2001/923/EC (2) provided that the Commission was to send to the European Parliament and to the Council by 30 June 2005 a report that was independent of the programme manager, evaluating the relevance, the efficiency and the effectiveness of the programme and a communication on whether this programme should be continued and adapted, accompanied by an appropriate proposal.
(2) The evaluation report provided for in Article 13 of that Decision was issued on 30 November 2004. It concluded that the programme had achieved its objectives and recommended its continuation.
(3) A financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 38 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3) is included in this Decision for the entire duration of the programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty.
(4) The continuation of the programme reflects the need for continuing vigilance, training and technical assistance necessary to sustain the protection of the euro against counterfeiting, by providing a stable framework for the planning of Member States programmes, particularly over a period during which new countries adopt the single currency.
(5) In this spirit, the Commission submitted on 8 April 2005 a proposal for the continuation of the Pericles programme (4) until 31 December 2011.
(6) Pending final agreement on the Community Financial Framework for 2007-2013, the Council decided to extend the Pericles programme for the year 2006.
(7) In its declaration of 30 January 2006 the Council considered that the Pericles programme has a multi-annual nature and that it should be extended to 2011. To this effect, it invited the Commission to present a proposal for extending the programme for the period starting from 2007, as soon as an agreement on the Financial Framework for 2007-2013 had been reached.
(8) It is appropriate that the Community programmes be in line with the Community's Financial Framework.
(9) In order to avoid overlaps and to ensure consistency and complementarity of actions under the Pericles programme, it is important to develop synergies between actions financed by the Commission, the European Central Bank and Europol.
(10) Consequently, and in view of the need for continuous training and assistance for the protection of the euro, the Pericles programme should be extended until 31 December 2013. Decision 2001/923/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Amendments
Decision 2001/923/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(2), the last sentence shall be replaced by the following:
2. the following subparagraph is added at the end of Article 6:
3. Article 13(3) shall be amended as follows:
(a) in point (a), ‘30 June 2005’ is replaced by ‘30 June 2013’;
(b) point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) on completion of the initial and the additional periods of the programme and no later than 30 June 2006 and 2014 respectively, detailed reports on the implementation and the results of the programme setting out in particular the added value of the Community's financial assistance.’
Applicability
This Decision shall have effect in the participating Member States as defined in the first indent of Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (5).
Entry into force
This Decision shall take effect on the day 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 Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in April 2002 Belgium received an application from Kumiai Chemicals Industry Co. Ltd., for the inclusion of the active substance benthiavalicarb in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2003/35/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(2) In January 2004 the United Kingdom received an application from DuPont (UK) Ltd concerning proquinazid. Commission Decision 2004/686/EC (3) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(3) In January 2003 the Netherlands received an application from Enhold B.V. concerning silver thiosulphate. Commission Decision 2003/850/EC (4) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(4) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substances and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(5) For these active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the draft assessment reports to the Commission on 10 May 2004 (benthiavalicarb), 9 June 2006 (proquinazid), 9 November 2005 (silver thiosulphate), respectively.
(6) Following submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicants and to have the rapporteur Member States examine that information and submit their assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for benthiavalicarb, proquinazid and silver thiosulphate will have been completed within 24 months.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing benthiavalicarb, proquinazid or silver thiosulphate for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

to approve propiconazole as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 9

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes propiconazole.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, propiconazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 9, fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 9 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Finland was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 11 February 2011 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 12 July 2013, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the assessment report that biocidal products used for product-type 9 and containing propiconazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve propiconazole for use in biocidal products for product-type 9.
(7) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Propiconazole shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 9, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to all third countries except for the United States of America, Canada, Estonia and Latvia was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 901/2002(5).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 14 to 20 June 2002, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 901/2002, the maximum refund on exportation of barley shall be EUR 5,00/t.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 88/272/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having regard to requests made by the Member States,
Whereas, under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, growing medium as such, as defined in Annex V, item 5 (a) thereof, may not in principle be introduced into the Community, because of the risk of introducing soil-borne harmful organisms, if it originates in Turkey, the USSR or third countries outside the European continent other than Algeria, Cyprus, Israel, Malta, Morocco and Tunisia;
Whereas, however, Article 14 (3) of the said Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas it is evident that in certain cases it may be desirable for soil or other growing medium to be introduced from such third countries for the purpose of scientific work in the Member States;
Whereas the introduction of such potentially dangerous material should only be permitted provided that certain conditions are complied with;
Whereas the Member States should be authorized to provide for derogations in respect of the introduction of growing medium, as defined in Directive 77/93/EEC, Annex V, item 5 (a), for the purpose of scientific work and under specified conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. The Member States are hereby authorized to provide, under the conditions laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3, for derogations, for the purpose of scientific work, from Article 4 (1) of Directive 77/93/EEC with regard to the prohibition on the introduction of growing medium referred to in Part A, item 12 to Annex III thereof.
2. Without prejudice to other provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, the plant protection organization of the Member State concerned shall ensure, in the case of each derogation granted, that the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the nature and objectives of the scientific work for which the growing medium is to be imported shall have been examined and approved;
(b) the quantity of growing medium shall be limited to an amount which is adequate for the approved scientific work;
(c) the premises and facilities of the establishment at which the scientific work is to be undertaken shall have been inspected and approved to ensure that no harmful organism imported with the growing medium can escape; and
(d) the scientific and technical qualifications of the personnel by whom the scientific work is to be undertaken shall have been examined and approved.
3. Where a derogation has been provided in conformity with the terms of this Decision, the plant protection organization of the Member State concerned shall ensure that, upon completion of the scientific work in question:
(a) the imported growing medium and any plants, plant products, growing medium and other material which has been in contact with it shall be destroyed, sterilized or otherwise treated in a manner to be specified by the plant protection organization; and

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1006/97 of 4 June 1997 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen beef intended for processing (1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations (1), and in particular Article 1 (1) thereof,
Whereas pursuant to Schedule CXL the Community has undertaken to open an annual import tariff quota of 50 700 tonnes of frozen beef intended for processing; whereas the rules of application for the quota year 1997/98 starting 1 July 1997 must be established;
Whereas the import of frozen beef under the tariff quota shall qualify for the total suspension of the specific rate of customs duty where the meat is intended for the manufacture of preserved food, which does not contain characteristic components other than beef and jelly; whereas where the meat is intended for other processed products containing beef the import shall qualify for a 55 % suspension of the autonomous specific rate of customs duty; whereas the breakdown of the tariff quota into each of the arrangements referred to above should be made taking into account the experience gained in respect of similar imports in the past;
Whereas so as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be allowed only to active processors carrying out processing in a processing establishment approved in accordance with Article 8 of Council Directive 77/99/EEC (2), as last amended by Directive 95/68/EC (3);
Whereas, imports into the Community under the present tariff quota are subject to presentation of an import licence; whereas licences may be issued following allocations of import rights on the basis of applications from eligible processors; whereas subject to the provisions of this Regulation the 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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2350/96 (5), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 266/97 (7), shall apply to import licences issued under this Regulation;
Whereas the application of the present tariff quota requires strict surveillance of imports and effective checks as to their use and destination; whereas the processing should therefore be authorized only in the importing Member State; whereas, furthermore, a security shall be lodged in order to ensure that the imported meat is used according to the tariff quota specifications; whereas the amount of security should be fixed taking into account the difference between the customs duties applicable inside and outside the quota;
Whereas experience shows that importers do not always notify the competent authorities which issued the import licences of the quantity and origin of the beef imported under the quota concerned; whereas this information is important for assessing the market situation; whereas a security covering notification of the information should therefore be introduced;
Whereas provision should be made for communication by the Member States of information concerning the imports concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. An import tariff quota of 50 700 tonnes, bone-in equivalent of frozen beef falling within CN codes 0202 20 30, 0202 30 10, 0202 30 50, 0202 30 90 or 0206 29 91 and intended for processing in the Community is hereby opened for the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998.
2. The overall quantity referred to in paragraph 1 shall be divided into two quantities:
(a) 38 000 tonnes of frozen beef intended for manufacture of preserved food as defined in Article 7 (a),
(b) 12 700 tonnes of frozen beef intended for manufacture of beef containing products as defined in Article 7 (b).
3. The quota shall bear the following order Nos:
- 09.4057 for the quantity to in paragraph 2 (a),
- 09.4058 for the quantity referred to in paragraph 2 (b).
4. The customs import duties to apply on frozen beef under the present tariff quota are those referred to in order No 13 of Annex 7 to Annex III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1734/96 (8).
The conversion rate for the relevant amounts of duty shall be the agricultural rate applicable on the day of importation.
5. For the purpose of this Regulation the day of importation is the day of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.
1. An application for import rights is valid only if it is lodged by, or on behalf of a natural or legal person who, during the 12 months prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, has been in the business of producing processed products containing beef and who is entered in a national VAT register. Furthermore, the application shall be lodged by, or on behalf of a processing establishment approved under Article 8 of Directive 77/99/EEC. For each quantity referred to in Article 1 (2) only one application for import rights may be accepted in respect of each approved processing establishment.
For the purposes of the above subparagraph, an approved processing establishment does not include a retail or catering establishment, or an establishment attached to a retail sales point, in which meat is being processed and offered for sale to the final consumer.
2. Applicants no longer active in the meat processing industry on 1 June 1997 shall not qualify under the arrangements provided for in this Regulation.
3. Documentary evidence, to the satisfaction of the competent authority, of compliance with the conditions of the preceding paragraphs shall be lodged together with the application.
1. Each application for import rights for production of A-products or B-products shall be expressed in bone-in equivalence and shall not exceed the available quantity under each of the two categories.
2. Each application referring to either A-products or B-products shall reach the competent authority by 12 June 1997.
3. Member States shall forward to the Commission by 24 June 1997 a list of applicants and quantities applied for under each of the two categories together with the approval numbers of the processing establishments concerned.
The Commission shall decide as soon as possible to what extent applications may be accepted, where necessary as a percentage of the quantity applied for.
1. Any import of frozen beef for which import rights have been allocated pursuant to Article 3 shall be subject to presentation of an import licence.
2. Within his allocated import rights a processor may apply for import licences until 27 February 1998 at the latest. The application shall be lodged in the Member State where the import rights are registered.
For the purpose of this paragraph 100 kilograms of bone-in beef equals 77 kilograms of boneless beef.
3. A security shall be lodged with the competent authority at the time of importation ensuring that the processor processes the entire quantity of meat imported into the required finished products in the establishment specified in the licence application, within three months following the day of importation.
The amounts of security are fixed in Annex I.
1. On the licence application and the licence itself shall be entered:
(a) in box 8, the country of origin,
(b) in box 16, one of the eligible CN codes,
(c) in box 20, at least one of the following endorsements:

2. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Regulation, Regulations (EEC) No 3719/88 and (EC) No 1445/95 shall apply.
3. Import licences shall be valid for 120 days from the date of issue within the meaning of Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88. However, their term of validity shall expire on 30 June 1998 at the latest.
4. Notwithstanding Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, the full Common Customs Tariff duty applicable on the date of release for free circulation shall be collected in respect of all quantities imported in excess of those shown on the import licence.
5. The second subparagraph of Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 shall not apply.
6. Notwithstanding Article 33 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, the maximum period within which proof of importation must be provided if the portion of the security forfeited is to be limited to 15 % shall be four months.
1. Quantities for which import licence applications have not been lodged by 27 February 1998 shall be subject to a further allocation of import rights.
To that end, by 6 March 1998, Member States shall forward to the Commission details of the quantities for which no applications have been received.
2. The Commission shall decide as soon as possible on the breakdown of those quantities into those intended for A-products and those intended for B-products. In doing so, the actual utilization of the import rights allocated pursuant to Article 3 under each of the two categories may be taken into account.
3. For the purposes of this Article, Articles 2 to 5 shall apply. However, the date referred to in Article 3 (2) shall be replaced by 3 April 1998 and the date referred to in Article 3 (3) shall be replaced by 10 April 1998.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) An A-product shall be defined as a processed product falling within CN codes 1602 10, 1602 50 31, 1602 50 39 or 1602 50 80, not containing meat other than that of animals of the bovine species, with a collagen/protein ratio of no more than 0,45 % (9) and containing by weight at least 20 % (10) of lean meat excluding offal (11) and fat with meat and jelly accounting for at least 85 % of the total net weight.
The product must be subjected to a heat treatment sufficient to ensure the coagulation of meat proteins in the whole of the product which may not show any traces of a pinkish liquid on the cut surface when the product is cut along a line passing through its thickest part.
(b) A B-product shall be defined as a processed product containing beef, other than:
- one specified in Article 1 (1) (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (12), or
- one referred to under (a).
However, a processed product falling within CN code 0210 20 90 which has been dried or smoked so that the colour and consistency of the fresh meat has totally disappeared and with a water/protein ratio not exceeding 3,2 shall be considered to be a B-product.
Member States shall set up a system of physical and documentary supervision to ensure that all meat is processed into the category of product specified on the import licence concerned.
The system must include physical checks of quantity and quality at the start of the processing, during the processing and after the processing operation is completed. To this end, processors shall at any time be able to demonstrate the identity and use of the imported meat through appropriate production records.
Technical verification of the production method by the competent authority may, to the extent necessary, make allowance for drip losses and trimmings.
In order to verify the quality of the finished product and establish its conformity with the processor's recipe Member States shall proceed to representative samplings and analysis of those products. The costs of such operations shall be born by the processor concerned.
1. The security referred to in Article 4 (3) shall be released in proportion to the quantity for which, within seven months, proof has been furnished to the satisfaction of the competent authority that all or part of the imported meat has been processed into the relevant products within three months following the day of importation in the designated establishment.
However,
(a) if processing took place after the abovementioned three-month time limit, the security shall be released minus:
- 15 % and
- 2 % of the remaining amount for each day by which the time limit has been exceeded;
(b) if proof of processing is established within the abovementioned seven-month time limit and is produced within 18 months following those seven months the amount forfeited less 15 % of the security amount, shall be repaid.
2. The amount of security not released shall be forfeited and retained as a customs duty.
0
1. Importers shall notify the competent authority which issued the import licence not later than three weeks after the importation of the product referred to in this Regulation of the quantity and origin of the product imported giving separate particulars for each of the CN codes for the frozen meat and for each of the two categories of finished products.
The competent authority shall forward the information to the Commission at the beginning of each month.
2. The competent authority shall communicate to the Commission not later than four months after each half year of importation the quantities of products referred to in Article 1 for which import licences issued under this Regulation have been used during that half year.
3. All communications to the Commission under this Regulation, including nil returns, shall be made to the address indicated in Annex II.
1
1. Importers shall, when submitting an import licence application, establish a security of ECU 1 per 100 kg to cover the notification referred to in Article 10 (1) of this Regulation.
2. The security shall be released where the information is sent to the competent authority within the period referred to in Article 10 (1) regarding the quantity covered by the notification. Where notification is not made within the period specified the security shall be forfeit.
A decision to release the security shall be taken simultaneously with the decision to release the security covering the licence.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/49/EC
of 25 July 2005
amending, for the purposes of their adaptation to technical progress, Council Directive 72/245/EEC relating to the radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility) of vehicles and Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/245/EEC relating to the radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility) of vehicles (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 72/245/EEC is one of the separate directives under the type-approval procedure established by Directive 70/156/EEC.
(2) In order to improve safety of vehicles by encouraging development and deployment of technologies utilising automotive short-range radar equipment, the Commission has harmonised by Commission Decision 2004/545/EC of 8 July 2004 on the harmonisation of radio spectrum in the 79 GHz range for the use of automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community (3) and by Commission Decision 2005/50/EC of 17 January 2005 on the harmonisation of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community (4), the use of two radio spectrum frequency bands.
(3) The 79 GHz range radio spectrum band has been identified as the most suitable band for long-term development and deployment of automotive short-range radar. Accordingly Decision 2004/545/EC designated and made available for automotive short-range radar equipment the 79 GHz range radio spectrum band on a non-interference and non-protected basis. However, the technology in the 79 GHz range radio spectrum band is still under development and is not immediately available on a cost-effective basis.
(4) The time-limited use of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for automotive short-range radars equipment has been permitted by Decision 2005/50/EC. The technology using this frequency band is available in the short-term at a reasonable cost, which will make it possible to quickly evaluate the effectiveness of the deployment of automotive short-range radar equipment as regards road safety. However, the use of radars of that technology has to be limited to avoid interference with other applications that use the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band.
(5) Decision 2005/50/EC permits the use of 24 GHz radar equipment only when originally installed in new vehicles or when replacing one so installed and for a period ending 30 June 2013 at the latest. However, according to Article 5 of Decision 2005/50/EC, that date may be advanced.
(6) In accordance with Decision 2005/50/EC, Member States have to set up a monitoring system aiming to quantify the number of vehicles equipped with 24 GHz short-range radars equipment registered in their territory. It is therefore necessary to provide Member States with the appropriate means to carry out this monitoring.
(7) Directive 72/245/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The amendments to Directive 72/245/EEC have an impact on Directive 70/156/EEC. It is therefore necessary to amend that directive accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress established by Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC,
Amendment to Directive 72/245/EEC
Directive 72/245/EEC is amended as follows:

1. In Annexes I and III, the following points are inserted after point 12.6.4:
‘12.7.1. vehicle equipped with a 24 GHz short-range radar equipment: Yes/No (strike out which is not applicable)
12.7.2. vehicle equipped with a 79 GHz short-range radar equipment: Yes/No (strike out which is not applicable)’.
2. In Annex IX on Side 2 of all models of the Certificate of conformity (COC), item 50 is replaced by the following:
50.1. vehicle equipped with a 24 GHz short-range radar equipment: Yes/No (strike out which is not applicable)
50.2. vehicle equipped with a 79 GHz short-range radar equipment: Yes/No (strike out which is not applicable)
50.3. Other remarks … ’.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995, laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2305/2002(4), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 provides, where this paragraph is specifically referred to when an export refund is fixed, for an interval of three working days between the day of submission of applications and the granting of export licences with advance fixing of the refund and provides that the Commission is to fix a uniform percentage reduction in the quantities if applications for export licences exceed the quantities which may be exported. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2003(5) fixes refunds under the procedure provided for in the abovementioned paragraph for 760 tonnes for all destinations R01, R02, R03, 064, 066 and A97 defined in the Annex to that Regulation.
(2) For all destinations R01, R02, R03, 064, 066 and A97, quantities applied for on 23 July 2003 are in excess of the available quantity; a percentage reduction should therefore be fixed for export licence applications submitted on 23 July 2003.
(3) In view of its purpose, this Regulation should take effect from the day of its publication in the Official Journal,
For all the destinations R01, R02, R03, 064, 066 and A97 defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1109/2003, applications for export licences for rice and broken rice with advance fixing of the refund submitted under that Regulation on 23 July 2003 shall give rise to the issue of licences for the quantities applied for to which a percentage reduction of 16,35 % has been applied.
For all the destinations R01, R02, R03, 064, 066 and A97 defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1109/2003, applications for export licences for rice and broken rice submitted from 24 July 2003 shall not give rise to the issue of export licences under that Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 July 2003.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 April 2009
establishing an expert group on the security of the European GNSS systems
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/334/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on the further implementation of the European satellite navigation programmes (EGNOS and Galileo) (1) has significantly changed the system of governance and financing of these two programmes.
(2) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 lays down that the Commission shall manage all questions relating to the security of the systems, duly taking into account the need for oversight and integration of security requirements in the overall programmes. Under paragraph 2 of that Article, the Commission shall adopt implementing measures laying down the main technical requirements for controlling the access to, and handling of, technologies that provide security to the systems. Meanwhile, paragraph 3 lays down that the Commission shall ensure that the necessary steps are taken to comply with the measures referred to in paragraph 2 and that any further requirements related to the security of the systems are met, taking full account of expert advice.
(3) Moreover, Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 repeals, with effect from 25 July 2009, Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) No 876/2002 of 21 May 2002 setting up the Galileo Joint Undertaking (2). The said Article 7 establishes a Security Board to deal with security matters regarding the Galileo system.
(4) In order to fulfil the mission assigned to it by the aforementioned provisions of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 and, with effect from 25 July 2009, to carry out the tasks entrusted until then to the Security Board established by Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 876/2002, the Commission needs the assistance of experts from the Member States.
(5) Moreover, when Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 was adopted, the Commission made a statement in which it expressed its intention to create an expert group composed of representatives from the Member States, in order to implement the aforementioned provisions of Article 13(1) of the Regulation and to examine matters related to the security of the systems.
(6) This statement specifies that the Commission will ensure that the expert group shall be composed of one representative of each Member State and one representative from the Commission, be chaired by the representative of the Commission and adopt its rules of procedures that foresee, inter alia, the adoption of opinions by consensus and a provision for the experts to raise any relevant issue related to the security of the systems.
(7) In the statement, the Commission also undertook, in exercising its responsibilities, to take full account of the opinions of this expert group and to consult it, inter alia, before defining the main requirements for the security of the systems as set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008.
(8) Also in the statement, the Commission considered, on the one hand, that representatives of the European GNSS Supervisory Authority, the European Space Agency as well as the SG/HR should be involved as observers in the work of the expert group under the conditions laid down in its rules of procedure and, on the other hand, that agreements concluded by the European Community may provide for the participation of representatives of third countries in the work of the expert group under conditions laid down in its rules of procedure.
(9) It is thus appropriate to establish an expert group, called the ‘Security Board for the European GNSS Systems’, the establishment, mission, composition and operation of which are in line with the content of the aforementioned Commission statement and also comply with the horizontal rules set out in the framework for Commission expert groups established in Commission Decision C(2005) 2817.
(10) Moreover, provision must be made for the possible participation of third countries in the work of the expert group. In particular, given that Norway and Switzerland, which are members of the European Space Agency, participate in the European GNSS programmes and are closely involved in the security issues linked thereto, it is important to allow them to be involved in the work of the expert group for a temporary period of three years, which may be extended in the context of an agreement to be reached between the European Community and both of these third countries,
The Security Board for the European GNSS Systems
An expert group on the security of the European GNSS systems, called the Security Board for the European GNSS Systems (hereinafter referred to as the Security Board) is hereby established.
Mission
The Security Board shall assist the Commission in implementing the provisions of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 and in examining matters concerning the security of the European GNSS systems. The Commission shall consult it prior to defining the main requirements, provided for in Article 13(2), concerning the security of the systems and it shall provide ongoing support to the Commission as regards the implementation of the provisions of Article 13(3).
Consultation
The Commission shall regularly consult the Security Board and take its opinions fully into account.
Composition
1. The Security Board shall be composed of one representative of each Member State, selected from among the recognised experts in the field of safety and security, and a representative of the Commission.
2. Representatives of the European GNSS Supervisory Authority, the European Space Agency and the SG/HR may be involved as observers in the work of the Security Board under the conditions laid down in its rules of procedure.
3. Agreements concluded by the European Community may make provision for representatives of third countries to participate in the work of the Security Board, including as full members thereof.
4. With effect from the entry into force of this Decision, representatives of Norway and Switzerland may be temporarily involved as observers in the work of the Security Board under the conditions laid down in its rules of procedure. This is conditional upon Norway and Switzerland each providing prior confirmation of their intention to apply, on their territory, all the necessary security measures to ensure an appropriate degree of protection of the infrastructure, services and technologies of the European GNSS programmes and systems, particularly as regards export controls. The duration of this temporary participation must be sufficient to allow an agreement as referred to in paragraph 3 to be concluded and may not, in any event, exceed three years.
5. The participation of a third country in the work of the Security Board may be reduced or suspended if it appears that the actions taken by that country do not make it possible to ensure the degree of protection required as regards security or to comply with the security rules laid down for the European GNSS programmes.
6. The chairperson of the Security Board may invite other experts to participate in the work of the Security Board on occasion, under the conditions laid down in its rules of procedure. The reasons justifying the presence of such experts must be notified in advance by the chairperson to the members of the Security Board.
7. The representatives nominated by a country or organisation shall remain in their position until they are replaced or their mandate ends. The Commission may refuse the expert nominated by a country or organisation when this nomination does not seem appropriate, particularly in the event of a conflict of interest. In such a case, the Commission shall quickly inform the country or organisation, which shall then nominate another expert.
Operation
1. The Security Board shall be chaired by a representative of the Commission.
2. In agreement with the Commission, sub-committees may be set up to examine specific matters on the basis of a mandate established by the Security Board. They shall be disbanded as soon as their mandates are fulfilled.
3. The Security Board and its sub-committees shall normally meet on Commission premises in accordance with the procedures and schedule established by the Commission. The meeting locations shall be secured in a manner appropriate to the nature of the work. The secretariat shall be provided by the Commission. Other Commission officials concerned may take part in the meetings.
4. The Security Board shall adopt its rules of procedure on the basis of the standard rules of procedure adopted by the Commission (3). The rules of procedure shall specify, inter alia, that the Security Board shall adopt its opinions or reports by consensus as far as possible and that each member may raise any relevant issue linked to the security of the European GNSS systems.
5. The participants in meetings of the Security Board and its sub-committees must strictly comply with the Commission’s safety and security rules, particularly as regards classified documents.
Meeting expenses
1. The travel and accommodation expenses incurred by the members, experts and observers in connection with the Security Board’s activities shall be reimbursed by the Commission in accordance with the Commission rules in force. There shall be no remuneration for the tasks performed.
2. Meeting expenses shall be reimbursed within the limits of the appropriations allocated to the departments concerned under the annual procedure for allocating resources.
Entry into force
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption by the Commission. It shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 |

Whereas, to facilitate supervision of the carry-forward system envisaged, sugar manufacturers should be required to inform the Member States of the total amounts charged to beet or cane sellers pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 748/68;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. For the 1979/80 sugar marketing year, the maximum amount provided for in Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 748/68 shall, per month of storage during the period specified in Article 31 of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74, be as follows: (a) 0 7359 ECU per tonne of sugar beet having a sugar content of 16 %;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 establishes the criteria for fixing aid for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of dried grapes of the sultana and Muscatel varieties and currants;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 provides for the possibility to differentiate the amount of aid on the basis of the varieties of grapes and on other factors which may affect yield; whereas it is appropriate to provide such a differentiation by a coefficient derived from the ratio of average yield by variety to total average yield; whereas in the case of sultanas provision should be made for further differentiation between areas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years, and other areas;
Whereas, however, it is appropriate to provide that areas having a yield lower than a threshold differentiated for the varieties concerned shall not be considered as specialized areas for the application of the aid arrangements; whereas, therefore, aid shall not be granted for the cultivation of such areas;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera under the conditions laid down in Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96;
Whereas verification of the areas used for growing these grapes has revealed no overrun of the maximum guaranteed area fixed in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2911/90 of 9 October 1990 laying down detailed rules of application for aid for the production of certain varieties of grapes for drying (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2614/95 (3);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1997/98 marketing year, which lasts from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 1998, the per hectare aid for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of dried grapes of the sultana and Muscatel varieties and currants referred to in Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be as specified in the Annex hereto.
2. For the application of the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, areas having a yield per hectare less than:
- 1 800 kilograms of dried grapes for sultanas affected by phylloxera or replanted within the last five years,
- 2 800 kilograms of dried grapes for other sultanas,
- 2 000 kilograms of dried grapes for currants,
- 500 kilograms of dried grapes for muscatels,
shall not be considered as specialized areas. The aid shall not be paid for the cultivation of the abovementioned products on these areas.
3. Member States shall take all necessary measures for checking this minimum yield.
Pursuant to Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, the per hectare aid to be granted to producers who replant their vineyards in order to combat phylloxera shall be ECU 3 917 per hectare.
The Member States concerned shall take the administrative provisions needed for the granting of this aid.
(2) shall not apply in such cases.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1997.

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC France received on 9 May 2006 an application from Elicityl SA for the inclusion of the active substance heptamaloxyloglucan in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2007/560/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) For that active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 26 July 2007.
(3) The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for heptamaloxyloglucan on 17 July 2009 (3). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 27 November 2009 in the format of the Commission review report for heptamaloxyloglucan.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing heptamaloxyloglucan may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include heptamaloxyloglucan in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing heptamaloxyloglucan to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing heptamaloxyloglucan as active substance by 30 November 2010. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to heptamaloxyloglucan are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning the active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(2) of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing heptamaloxyloglucan as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2010 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning heptamaloxyloglucan. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing heptamaloxyloglucan as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2011 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing heptamaloxyloglucan as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2011 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2010.

terminating the interim review and amending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 423/97 on imports of gas-fuelled non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating, inter alia, in Thailand insofar as a Thai exporting producer is concerned
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
A. EXISTING MEASURES
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 423/97(2) imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of gas-fuelled non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating, inter alia, in Thailand. Undertakings were accepted by Commission Decision 97/167/EC(3) in connection with the review of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91(4).
B. REQUEST FOR AN INTERIM REVIEW
(2) In April 2000, the Thai exporting producer, Thai Merry Co. Ltd (hereinafter referred to as the "applicant") lodged a request for an interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to it, limited to its situation of dumping, pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the "basic Regulation"). The request alleged that changed circumstances of a lasting nature, such as the decline of its production costs, had led to a considerably reduced normal value, which in turn has reduced or eliminated dumping so that the continued imposition of the measures in respect of its imports was no longer necessary to counteract dumping.
(3) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an interim review, the Commission published a notice ("Notice of Initiation")(5) and commenced an investigation.
C. PROCEDURE
(4) The Commission officially advised the representatives of the exporting country and the applicant of the initiation of the interim review and gave all parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The Commission also sent a questionnaire to the applicant, which replied within the time limits set in the Notice of Initiation.
(5) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of dumping and carried out a verification visit at the premises of the applicant.
(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 October 1999 to 30 September 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the "investigation period").
D. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Product concerned
(7) The product concerned is the same as in the previous investigation, i.e. gas-fuelled non-refillable pocket flint lighters, also known as disposable flint lighters currently classifiable within CN code ex 9613 10 00.
Like product
(8) As in the previous investigation, this investigation has shown that the lighters produced in Thailand by the applicant and sold on the Thai market or exported to the Community have the same physical characteristics and the same uses and therefore are to be considered a like product within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
E. DUMPING
Normal value
(9) As far as the determination of normal value is concerned, it was first established whether the applicant's total domestic sales of the like product were representative in comparison with its total export sales to the Community. In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, this was found to be the case, since its domestic sales volume constituted at least 5 % of its total export sales volume to the Community.
(10) It was then examined whether for the sole product type exported to the Community, sales were sufficiently representative. This was considered to be the case since, during the investigation period, the total domestic sales volume of this type represented more than 5 % of the total sales volume of the same type exported to the Community.
(11) An examination was also carried out as to whether the domestic sales of that type could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers of the type in question. The profitable sales of this type representing less than 80 % but more than 10 % of the total domestic sales volume of that type, normal value was based on a weighted average price of profitable domestic sales made during the investigation period.
Export price
(12) Since all export sales of the product under consideration were made directly to an independent customer in the Community, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable.
Comparison
(13) For the purposes of a fair comparison by type on an ex-factory basis and at the same level of trade, due allowance was made for differences which were claimed and demonstrated to affect price comparability. These adjustments were made in respect of transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs and commissions in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
(14) The applicant claimed an adjustment for advertising costs, on the basis of Article 2(10)(k) of the basic Regulation, on the grounds that these costs were only made to stimulate sales on the domestic market. This claim had to be rejected because the applicant did not provide sufficient information justifying that the costs were incurred for the amounts claimed in relation to sales on the domestic market. In addition, the applicant failed to demonstrate that the very small amount of advertising costs had affected prices.
(15) The applicant claimed an adjustment for credit cost on the grounds that it was standard practice to grant 45 days of credit to domestic customers. This claim was rejected because the applicant failed to show, e.g. by means of contracts or a clear description of the payment terms on the invoices, that this was a factor taken into account in the determination of the prices charged.
(16) The applicant also claimed an adjustment for duty drawback. Since this claim was made substantially beyond the deadline and even after the on-spot investigation had taken place, it had to be rejected.
Dumping margin
(17) In order to calculate the dumping margin, the Commission compared the weighted average normal value to the average export price to the Community.
(18) This comparison did not show the existence of dumping for the company concerned.
F. LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIKELIHOOD OF RECURRENCE OF DUMPING
(19) In accordance with the Commission's normal practice, it was examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be said to be of a lasting nature.
(20) The investigation has shown that the applicant's production capacity remained stable over the last 4 years, whilst its capacity utilisation rate increased slightly from 60 % to around 70 %. This increase was due to better sales performances, spread evenly over both the domestic market and non-EC countries.
(21) It should be noted that exports to the Community, being subject to a minimum price undertaking accepted in 1997, were made at prices substantially higher than those charged to customers in non-EC countries. However, it was found that over the last 4 years and on the basis of average prices charged for all lighters, the applicant consistently charged higher prices for lighters on sales to non-EC export markets than on the domestic market.
(22) While the applicant has spare capacity, which could be used to increase sales to the Community if the anti-dumping measures were to be lifted, the above findings concerning exports to third countries, and in particular export prices to these countries, are viewed as evidence that it is unlikely that there will be in the foreseeable future a recurrence of dumped imports.
(23) It is consequently concluded that the changed circumstances, in particular the increase in export prices to the Community combined with a substantial decrease in production costs, are of a lasting nature. In the absence of dumping, it is therefore considered appropriate to repeal the measures insofar as they concern the applicant.
G. REPEALING OF THE MEASURES
(24) The interested parties were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend that the interim review be terminated, the undertaking accepted by Commission Decision 97/167/EC repealed insofar as the applicant is concerned and the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 423/97 amended accordingly. They were given an opportunity to comment. Their comments were taken into account and, where appropriate, the findings modified accordingly.
(25) In view of the finding of non-existence of dumping for the applicant and as this situation is not considered to be of a short-term nature, the undertaking accepted by Commission Decision 97/167/EC on exports of the applicant should be repealed, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 423/97 should be amended accordingly and this review should be terminated,
Regulation (EC) No 423/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2(2)(a) shall be replaced by the following: "(a) 51,9 % for imports originating in Thailand (TARIC additional code 8900 ) with the exception of imports which are produced and sold for export to the Community by Politop Co. Ltd, Bangkok where the rate shall be 5,8 % (TARIC additional code 8937 ) and imports which are produced and sold for export to the Community by Thai Merry Co. Ltd., Samutsakorn where the rate shall be 0 % (TARIC additional code 8542 );";

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support to redundant workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the Fund within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(3) Spain submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the textiles sector, on 29 December 2008. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 3 306 750.
(4) Portugal submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the textiles sector, on 23 January 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 832 800.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the applications submitted by Spain and Portugal,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2009, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 4 139 550 in commitment and payment appropriations.

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank(1), and in particular to Article 5(1) and Article 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 of the European Central Bank of 22 November 2001 (ECB/2001/13) concerning the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector(2) requires monetary financial institutions (MFIs) to report quarterly statistical data broken down by country and currency. However, it currently only requires such data in respect of the Member States of the European Union (EU) at the time of its adoption. It therefore has to be amended so as to extend the reporting requirements to data in respect of the countries acceding to the EU on 1 May 2004.
(2) Currently, most data in respect of the said countries are unlikely to be significant. The benefit of separately identifying insignificant data is likely to be less than the costs associated with its collection. In line with the already existing flexibility permitted by Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) in the calculation of quarterly figures where it can be shown from figures collected at a higher level of aggregation that the data involved are unlikely to be significant, the principle of flexibility should also be applied in respect of reporting of the new data. For this purpose, the national central banks regularly assess if data are significant or not.
(3) Further amendments to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) are required due to the codification of Regulation of the European Central Bank (EC) No 2818/98 (ECB/1998/15) of 1 December 1998 on the application of minimum reserves(3),
Regulation ECB/2001/13 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 4, the following sentence is added to paragraph 2:"With reference to paragraphs 6a and 7a of Part 1, Section IV of Annex I, each NCB shall assess if data in respect of cells marked with the '>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>' symbol, in Tables 3 and 4 of Part 2 of Annex I, are insignificant, and shall inform the reporting agents when it does not require their reporting."
2. Article 5(2) is deleted.
3. Annexes I and V are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
4. Annex II is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(1) and (3) shall apply from 1 May 2004. Article 1(2) and (4) shall apply from 10 March 2004. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.
(2) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market or on the Community import market for the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards import duties in the rice sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available from the source referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/100/EC
of 28 October 2008
amending Council Directive 90/496/EEC on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs as regards recommended daily allowances, energy conversion factors and definitions
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 1(4)(a) and (j) and Article 5(2) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 90/496/EEC specifies that fibre should be defined.
(2) Conditions for nutrition claims such as ‘source of fibre’ or ‘high fibre’ are laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (2).
(3) For reasons of clarity and coherence with other Community legislation that refers to that notion, it is necessary to provide a definition of ‘fibre’.
(4) The definition of fibre should take into account relevant work by the Codex Alimentarius and the statement related to dietary fibre, expressed on the 6 July 2007, by the European Food Safety Authority Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies.
(5) Fibre has been traditionally consumed as plant material and has one or more beneficial physiological effects such as: decrease intestinal transit time, increase stool bulk, is fermentable by colonic microflora, reduce blood total cholesterol, reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels, reduce post-prandial blood glucose, or reduce blood insulin levels. Recent scientific evidence has shown that similar beneficial physiological effects may be obtained from other carbohydrate polymers that are not digestible and not naturally occurring in the food as consumed. Therefore it is appropriate that the definition of fibre should include carbohydrate polymers with one or more beneficial physiological effects.
(6) The carbohydrate polymers of plant origin that meet the definition of fibre may be closely associated in the plant with lignin or other non-carbohydrate components such as phenolic compounds, waxes, saponins, phytates, cutin, phytosterols. These substances when closely associated with carbohydrate polymers of plant origin and extracted with the carbohydrate polymers for analysis of fibre may be considered as fibre. However, when separated from the carbohydrate polymers and added to a food these substances should not be considered as fibre.
(7) In order to take account of new scientific and technological developments, there is a need to amend the list of energy conversion factors.
(8) The FAO report of a technical workshop on food energy — methods of analysis and conversion factors indicates that 70 percent of the fibre in traditional foods is assumed to be fermentable. Therefore, it is appropriate that the average energy value for fibre should be 8 kJ/g (2 kcal/g).
(9) Erythritol can be used in a wide variety of foods and its use is, among others, as a replacement for nutrients such as sugar where lower energy value is desired.
(10) Erythritol is a polyol, and according to the current rules as provided for in Article 5(1) of Directive 90/496/EEC, its energy would be calculated using the conversion factor for polyols, namely 10 kJ/g (2,4 kcal/g). Using this energy conversion factor would not fully inform the consumer about the reduced energy value of a product achieved by the use of erythritol in its manufacture. The Scientific Committee on Food in its opinion on erythritol, expressed on 5 March 2003, noted that the energy provided by erythritol was less than 0,9 kJ/g (less than 0,2 kcal/g). Therefore it is appropriate to adopt a suitable energy conversion factor for erythritol.
(11) The Annex to Directive 90/496/EEC lists the vitamins and minerals which may be declared as part of the nutrition labelling, specifies their recommended daily allowances (RDAs) and defines a rule of what constitutes a significant amount. The purpose of this RDA list is to provide values for nutrition labelling and the calculation of what constitutes a significant amount.
(12) The rule on significant amount as defined in the Annex to Directive 90/496/EEC constitutes a reference in other Community legislation, in particular in Article 8(3) of Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements (3), in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and in Article 6(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council of 20 December 2006 on the addition of vitamins and minerals and of certain other substances to foods (4).
(13) The RDAs listed in the Annex to Directive 90/496/EEC are based on the recommendation of the FAO/WHO expert consultation meeting in Helsinki in 1988.
(14) In order to ensure coherence with other Community legislation, the current list of vitamins and minerals and their RDAs should be updated in the light of scientific developments since 1988.
(15) The Scientific Committee on Food in its opinion on the revision of reference values for nutrition labelling, expressed on 5 March 2003, included reference labelling values for adults. This opinion covers the vitamins and minerals listed in Annex I to Directive 2002/46/EC and in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006.
(16) The Annex to Directive 90/496/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(17) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Directive 90/496/EEC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1(4)(j) the following sentence is added:
2. The following indents are added in Article 5(1):
‘— fibre 2 kcal/g — 8 kJ/g
— erythritol 0 kcal/g — 0 kJ/g.’;
3. The Annex is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Directive;
4. The text in Annex II to this Directive is added.
1. Member States shall bring into force by 31 October 2009 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions in such a way as to prohibit, with effect from 31 October 2012, the trade in products which do not comply with Directive 90/496/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 April 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

of 23 December 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 on the fees and charges levied by the European Aviation Safety Agency
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 64(1) thereof,
After consulting the Management Board of the European Aviation Safety Agency,
Whereas:
(1) The rules for calculating the fees and charges laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 of 31 May 2007 on the fees and charges levied by the European Aviation Safety Agency (2) have to be reviewed periodically to ensure that the amount of the fees and charges to be paid by the applicant reflects the complexity of the task carried out by the Agency and the actual workload involved. Future amendments to that Regulation will fine tune those rules, also on the basis of the data which will become available inside the European Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) following the implementation of its Enterprise Resource Planning system.
(2) Agreements referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 should provide a basis for the evaluation of the actual workload involved in the certification of third countries’ products. In principle, the process for validation by the Agency of certificates issued by a third country with which the Community has an appropriate agreement is described in these agreements and should result in a different workload from the process required for certification activities by the Agency.
(3) While ensuring the balance between overall expenditure incurred by the Agency in carrying out certification tasks and overall income from the fees and charges it levies, the rules for calculating the fees and charges have to remain effective and fair towards all applicants. This must be true also for the calculation of travel costs outside the territory of the Member States. The present formula has to be refined to make sure that it refers exclusively to the direct costs incurred for those travels.
(4) The experience gained from the application of Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 has shown that it is necessary to specify when the Agency may invoice the fee due and to set up the method to calculate the amount to be refunded in case a certification task is interrupted. Similar rules have to be provided in case a certificate is surrendered or suspended.
(5) For technical reasons, changes should be introduced in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 in order to enhance some definitions or classifications.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008,
Regulation (EC) No 593/2007 is amended as follows:
1. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
d = fee due
f = fee corresponding to the task carried out, as set out in the Annex
v = travel costs
h = time spent by experts in the means of transport, invoiced at the hourly fee set out in Part II
e = average travel costs inside the territories of the Member States, including the average time spent in the means of transport inside the territories of the Member States multiplied by the hourly fee set out in Part II.’
2. Article 8 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(b) paragraph 3 is deleted;
(c) paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:
(d) the following paragraphs 8 and 9 are added:
3. In Article 12, the fifth paragraph is deleted.
4. In Article 14, paragraph 3 is deleted.
5. The Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2009.
It shall apply subject to the following conditions:
(a) the fees shown in Tables 1 to 5 of Part I of the Annex shall apply to any application for certification task received after 1 January 2009;
(b) the fees shown in Table 6 of Part I of the Annex shall apply to the annual fees levied after 1 January 2009.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

concerning the authorisation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of authorisation DSM Nutritional products Ltd represented by DSM Nutritional Products Sp. z o.o) and amending Regulation (EC) No 943/2005
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) The preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 was authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive without a time limit for use on calves up to 6 months by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 (3), for use on chickens for fattening and pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 (4), for use on sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (5), for use on piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 252/2006 (6) and for use on cats and dogs by Commission Regulation (EC) No 102/2009 (7). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, requesting that additive be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 22 June 2010 (8) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or on the environment, and that that additive has the potential to increase the final body weight of chickens for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in Annex I to this Regulation.
(6) As a consequence of a new authorisation being granted by this Regulation, the entry concerning Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 for chickens for fattening in Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 should be deleted.
(7) Since the modifications to the conditions of the authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of premixtures and compound feed.
(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,
The preparation specified in Annex I, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Regulation.
Premixtures and compound feed containing Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 labelled in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC may continue to be placed on the market and used until stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) Pursuant to that Regulation animals are to be identified by an eartag and by a second means of identification approved by the competent authority and conforming to certain technical characteristics.
(3) By letter of 22 January 2007, Romania requested transitional measures for a period of one year for the identification of ovine and caprine animals in that Member State, during which time the animals will only be identified by means of a single eartag.
(4) Romania has given appropriate assurances that animals entering into intra-Community trade or intended for export to third countries will be identified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.
(5) In order to allow Romania to continue with its identification system for one year but also to ensure that animals for intra-Community trade and export are identified by two means of identification, such animals should be identified in accordance with Community rules, except that the means of identification, provided for in Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, may be applied on the holding from which the animals are dispatched.
(6) In order to facilitate the transition from the existing regime in Romania to that under Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, it is appropriate to lay down transitional measures for the identification of ovine and caprine animals in that Member State.
(7) It is necessary for this Decision to apply from 1 January 2007 to ensure continuity in the application of the existing identification system for national movements.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Identification of animals in Romania
Animals of the ovine and caprine species kept on holdings situated in Romania (‘the animals’) shall be identified by at least one single eartag bearing an individual code for each animal in accordance with national rules by the date the animal leaves the holding of birth or within a period of six months from the date of birth, whichever is the earlier.
Identification of animals intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries
All animals intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries shall be identified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, where applicable, in addition to the eartag applied in accordance with Article 1 of this Decision.
By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, the means of identification referred to in that provision may be applied in the holding of origin, as defined in Article 2(b)(8) of Council Directive 91/68/EEC (2).
Movement document requirement
The movement document accompanying an animal whenever it is moved within the national territory between two separate holdings, as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, shall contain the individual codes for each animal as provided for in Article 1 of this Decision.
Applicability

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 739/2007
of 28 June 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 44 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the marketing year for products in the sugar sector is the period from 1 October to 30 September. However, the marketing year 2006/2007 begins on 1 July 2006 and ends on 30 September 2007. Consequently, unlike a normal marketing year, it extends over 15 months rather than 12 months.
(2) In view of the length of the marketing year 2006/2007, Article 9(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 (2) provides for a transitional isoglucose quota so as to ensure an allocation which corresponds to that of the preceding marketing year.
(3) A number of Member States allocate sugar quotas to undertakings specialising in the production of sugar by extraction from molasses. As in the case of isoglucose, this involves consistent levels of production throughout a given marketing year. However, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2006/2007 is equal to the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2005/2006. In the interests of fairness to the isoglucose producers, these undertakings, too, should be allocated a transitional quota taking into account the length of the marketing year 2006/2007.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph 3a is inserted:
2. in paragraph 4, the introductory words are replaced by the following:
3. paragraph 6 is replaced by the following paragraphs 6 and 7:
(a) before 15 July 2006, a breakdown by undertaking of the transitional quotas allocated under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3;
(b) before 30 June 2007, a breakdown by undertaking of the transitional quotas allocated under paragraph 3a.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 24 November 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the Autonomous Province of Trento fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other Financial Instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing Financial Instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the Autonomous Province of Trento in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Italy.
The priorities are as follows:
- support for the development of local economic, social and productive systems,
- exploitation and preservation of assets and natural resources and assistance for the improvement and protection of the environment,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5b and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 56261411 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 16878422.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 39382989 from the public sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 16878422. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 [now Arrticles 87 and 88] to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 24 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the areas receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1), and in particular Article 30(5) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by Österreichische Post AG (hereinafter referred to as ‘Post’) by e-mail received on 10 September 2009,
After consulting the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
(1) On 10 September 2009, Post transmitted a request pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC to the Commission by e-mail. In accordance with Article 30(5) first subparagraph, the Commission informed the Austrian authorities thereof by letter of 15 September 2009, to which the Austrian authorities answered by e-mail of 9 October 2009. The Commission also requested additional information of Post by e-mail of 22 October 2009, which, following a prolongation of the deadline was transmitted by Post by e-mail of 13 November 2009.
(2) The request submitted by Post concerns certain postal services as well as certain services other than postal services in Austria. The services concerned are described as follows in the request:
(a) standard consumer parcel services (consumer to consumer (C2C), consumer to business (C2B)), both domestic and international;
(b) standard business to business (B2B) parcel services, both domestic and international;
(c) standard business to consumer (B2C) parcel services, both domestic and international;
(d) domestic express parcel services;
(e) combined freight services, i.e. freight services relating to consignments consisting of individual parcels and palletised small packages; and
(f) contract logistics, defined as including the storage of goods and associated stock management, finishing and/or commissioning, marshalling goods ready for dispatch and address management for the sender.
II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
(3) Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC provides that contracts intended to enable the performance of one of the activities to which Directive 2004/17/EC applies shall not be subject to that Directive if, in the Member State in which it is carried out, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. Direct exposure to competition is assessed on the basis of objective criteria, taking account of the specific characteristics of the sector concerned. Access is deemed to be unrestricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the relevant EU legislation opening a given sector or a part of it. This legislation is listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, which, for the postal sector, refers to Directive 97/67/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 on common rules for the development of the internal market of Community postal services and the improvement of quality of service (2) as amended by Directive 2002/39/EC (3).
(4) Austria has implemented and applied Directive 97/67/EC as amended by Directive 2002/39/EC, using the possibility pursuant to its Article 7 to reserve certain addressed letters with a weight of up to 50 g for the designated universal service provider, Post (4). None of the services concerned by the present request are reserved. As Austria has reached the level of market opening provided for under the legislation listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted in accordance with the first subparagraph of its Article 30(3). Direct exposure to competition in a particular market should be evaluated on the basis of various criteria, none of which are, per se, decisive.
(5) In respect of the markets concerned by this Decision, the market share of the main players on a given market constitutes one criterion which should be taken into account. Another criterion is the degree of concentration on those markets. As the conditions vary for the different activities that are concerned by this Decision, the examination of the competitive situation should take into account the different situations on different markets.
(6) Although narrower market definitions might be envisaged in certain cases, the precise definition of the relevant market can be left open for the purposes of this Decision as far as a number of the services listed in the request submitted by Post are concerned to the extent that the result of the analysis remains the same whether it is based on a narrow or a broader definition.
(7) This Decision is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition.
III. ASSESSMENT
(8) Standard consumer parcel services must be considered apart, as they satisfy different needs of demand (universal postal service) in relation to commercial parcels, where the technological process of providing this service usually differs significantly. In respect of these services, Post’s market position is quite strong with an estimated market share that has remained stable over the period 2006-2008 at the order of 91-93 % by volume (5). While this may change in the coming years following the increase in the services provided by one of Post’s competitors which is announced for 2010, it should be concluded that the category of services examined here is not directly exposed to competition in Austria. Therefore Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
(9) In respect of B2B standard parcel services, Post’s market share reached 9 % by volume in 2008, compared to an aggregate market share for the two biggest competitors that year amounting to 52-62 %. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for B2B standard parcel services.
(10) On the international (outbound (6)) market for B2C parcels, Post’s market share fell from 83 % by volume in 2006 to 79 % by volume in 2008. It should be kept in mind that the aim of the present Decision is to establish whether the services concerned by the request are exposed to such a level of competition (on markets to which access is free) that this will ensure that, also in the absence of the discipline brought about by the detailed procurement rules set out in Directive 2004/17/EC, procurement for the pursuit of the activities concerned here will be carried out in a transparent, non-discriminatory manner based on criteria allowing purchasers to identify the solution which overall is the economically most advantageous one. In this context, the international market should not be seen in isolation, but in the framework of the overall market for B2C standard parcel services, given that the international market for B2C parcel services forms only 3 % by volume of the total market for B2C parcel services. On the latter market, Post’s market share fell from 79 % by volume in 2006 to 57 % by volume in 2008. However, at 23-33 % by volume in 2008, the aggregate market share of the two biggest competitors amounts to about half of that of Post and at that level it can be considered that they would be able to exert a significant competitive pressure on Post, considering also that the biggest of the two competitors intends to strengthen his network. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition.
(11) Post’s market share of the market for domestic express parcel services (including inbound (7) express parcel services) has been steadily falling over the period from 2006 to 2008, from approx. 47 % by value (8) in 2006, about 46 % in 2007 to around 43 % in 2008 (9). The aggregate market share of the two biggest competitors amounted to slightly over 28 % by value in 2008, i.e. almost two thirds of Post’s market share, at which level they would be able to bring a significant competitive pressure to bear on Post (10). These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition.
(12) Post has started offering combined freight services as defined under recital 2(e) above, only towards the end of 2007. Faced with competition from big logistics companies, such as Dachser Austria GmbH, Kühne & Nagel Ges.m.b.H., Logwin-Gruppe, Schachinger Paketdienst Gesellschaft m.b.H., Schenker & Co AG and Gebrüder Weiss GmbH, Post, Post has until now not succeeded in obtaining more than a negligible market share that it estimates as being ‘considerably below 1 %’. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition.
(13) Post started offering contract logistics services as defined under recital 2(f) above, only in 2008. On this market it is faced with competition not only from big logistics companies, such as in particular Gebrüder Weiss GmbH, Schachinger Paketdienst Gesellschaft m.b.H., Lagermax Internationale Spedition Ges.m.b.H./Lagermax Paketdienst GmbH & Co KG, CEVA Logistics Austria GmbH, Logwin-Gruppe, but also from the Austrian Federal Railways (11) and the harbours of Linz and Vienna (12). Here also, the market share obtained by Post is until now quite negligible (it is estimated as being ‘considerably below 0,1 %’). These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
(14) In view of the factors examined in recitals 2 to 13, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in Austria in respect of the following services:
(a) standard B2B parcel services, both domestic and international;
(b) standard B2C parcel services, both domestic and international;
(c) domestic express parcel services;
(d) combined freight services; and
(e) contract logistics.
(15) Since the condition of unrestricted access to the market is deemed to be met, Directive 2004/17/EC should not apply when contracting entities award contracts intended to enable the services listed in points (a) to (e) of recital 14 to be carried out in Austria, nor when design contests are organised for the pursuit of such an activity in Austria.
(16) This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation as of May to November 2009 as it appears from the information submitted by Post and the Republic of Austria. It may be revised, should significant changes in the legal or factual situation mean that the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are no longer met,
Directive 2004/17/EC shall not apply to contracts awarded by contracting entities and intended to enable the following services to be carried out in Austria:
(a) standard business to business parcel services, both domestic and international;
(b) standard business to consumer parcel services, both domestic and international;
(c) domestic express parcel services;
(d) combined freight services; and
(e) contract logistics.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 20 March 1996 on aid which Italy plans to grant to enterprises in a state of insolvency resulting from the obligation to repay State aid pursuant to Community decisions adopted under Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty (Only the Italian text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (96/434/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having given notice in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) of the Treaty to interested parties to submit their comments,
Whereas:
I
By letter dated 20 December 1994 the Commission informed the Italian Government of its decision to initiate the Article 93 (2) procedure in respect of Law No 80/1993 laying down rules for the application of the extraordinary administrative procedure provided for in Law No 95/1979 to firms that are insolvent due to the obligation to repay State aid to the State or to public undertakings or companies, pursuant to decisions of the Community institutions adopted under Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty.
As part of the procedure, the Commission gave the Italian Government notice to submit its comments and informed other Member States and interested parties through publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (1). No comments were received from other Member States or interested parties.
II
The Italian Government replied by letter dated 9 February 1995. Further details were received by letters dated 23 June 1995 and 12 January 1996.
III
The measures in question provide for the application of the extraordinary administrative procedure under Law No 95/1979 to 'those enterprises whose insolvency is caused by the obligation to repay to the State or to public undertakings or companies in which the public authorities have a majority holding of not less than 51 % of paid-up capital and not less than Lit 50 billion, in pursuance of the decisions of the Community institutions adopted under Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community.`
The Italian authorities pointed out that the provisions had been applied to only one firm, Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax, which had been the subject of Commission Decision 92/296/EEC (2). On the basis of information sent by the Italian authorities by telex dated 3 June 1992, repayment of the aid that was incompatible with the common market was entered on the balance sheet of the firm concerned; there is no indication that recognition of the debt was followed by actual repayment of the sum. In the end the Italian authorities announced the setting-up of an administrative commission to review the criteria for the application of Law No 95/1979 and subsequent amendments and additions with a view to the possible abrogation of the relevant provisions of Law No 80/1993.
IV
Law No 80/1993 provides for State aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and Article 61 (1) of the Agreement on the European Economic Area inasmuch as it allows the beneficiary enterprises, at present limited to Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax but possibly extendible to other enterprises in future, to continue to enjoy the advantages conferred by aid already declared incompatible with Community law. The advantages would be derived from State aid which the firm concerned would be required to repay under previous Commission decisions or judgments of the Community courts, and from the State guarantees provided for in Article 2a of Law No 95/1979; they are reserved for enterprises in a state of insolvency owing to the obligation to repay aid which the Commission, and possibly the Community court, have considered to be contrary to Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty.
In view of the combined provisions of Laws Nos 95/1979 and 80/1993 and taking account of the Community definition of small and medium-sized enterprises in the area of State aid policy (3), the enterprises benefiting from the measures in question are large enterprises whose activities normally affect trade between Member States.
The application of the provisions gives the beneficiaries an illegal advantage liable to create distortions of competition inasmuch as, since Law No 80/1993 not only refers to aid which the Commission has declared incompatible with the common market and with the operation of the EEA Agreement but also applies even where the Court of Justice has upheld the Commission's decisions, the provisions compromise the effectiveness of Community decisions requiring repayment of State aid that is incompatible with Community law, perpetuating the unlawful advantage which the decisions are intended to abolish.
The proposed measures also apply to the beneficiaries identified in Law No 80/1993 throughout the national territory and in all economic sectors; they do not, therefore, have any sectoral or regional purpose. Furthermore, the lack of sectoral limits means that the scope covers firms in sensitive industries that are subject to strict Community monitoring with regard to the granting of State aid.
With regard to the specific case of Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax, the Italian authorities stated that the application of Law No 80/1993 was not accompanied by the granting of the State guarantee provided for in Article 2a of Law No 95/1979 and that hence there were no aid measures under Law No 80/1993.
This fact indicates only that, in the case in point, no further State resources were granted over and above the State aid which was the subject of Commission Decision 92/296/EEC and which the recipient continues to enjoy.
A mechanism (such as that governed by Law No 80/1993) which, under national law, has the effect of preventing the repayment of State aid held to be incompatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement and, as a result, of avoiding a return to the situation prior to the aid, of preventing the abolition of the advantages enjoyed by the recipients as a result of the aid and of enabling those recipients to continue to benefit from advantages which affect intra-Community trade and are liable to create distortions of competition, is in itself an aid scheme incompatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and Article 61 (1) of the Agreement, and does not qualify for exemption under Article 92 (2) or (3) of the EC Treaty or Article 61 (2) or (3) of the EEA Agreement; in the case of Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax, the firm did not benefit from fresh aid but retained aid declared incompatible with Community law and subject to a recovery order. In this case too, the application of Law No 80/1993 produces an advantage arising out of public resources and thus constitutes State aid that is incompatible with the common market and the functioning of the European Economic Area pursuant to Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty and Article 61 of the EEA Agreement.
In addition, by extending the scope of Law No 95 to enterprises required to repay State aid pursuant to Decisions adopted under Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, Law No 80 makes it possible for recipients to obtain the State guarantee provided for in Article 2a of Law No 95. Having regard to Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and Article 61 (1) of the EEA Agreement, as well as the principles adopted by the Commission in the area of State guarantees (4), this possibility is caught by Articles 92 et seq of the Treaty and Articles 61 et seq of the EEA Agreement, whether the guarantee is subject to payment of a premium - as the recipient, whose difficulties are attested to by its state of insolvency might, without the State guarantee, be unable to obtain the loan in question on the market - or, a fortiori, whether it is granted without any reciprocal concession; in that case, the conduct of the State would diverge strongly from that of a private operator in similar circumstances operating in a rational manner on the market.
The application of Law No 80 thus entails, in various ways, the granting of aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and Article 61 of the EEA Agreement.
V
The measures in question also constitute illegal aid for having been adopted without being notified in advance in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty. Although they have been applicable since 1992, they were notified only in 1993 after the Commission had sent the Italian authorities a letter of formal notice. Furthermore, as they establish a new aid scheme, the provisions cannot be regarded as existing aid covered by the E 13/92 procedure which relates to the fundamental provisions of Law No 95 and is currently being examined under Article 93 (1) of the Treaty (5).
VI
It is clear from the foregoing that the rules introduced by Law No 80 constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and Article 61 (1) of the EEA Agreement such as is incompatible with the common market and with the operation of the European Economic Area. None of the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Articles 92 and 61 apply to these rules. The measures in question are not aimed at individuals and are not designed to remedy damage caused by natural disasters or other extraordinary events. They do not have a regional, sector or cultural purpose and are not aimed at promoting the execution of an important project of common European interest.
The provisions of Law No 80 are incompatible with the common market inasmuch as, without necessarily involving the transfer of fresh public resources to their beneficiaries, they enable firms required to repay State aid to continue to enjoy the advantages of such aid and hence to avoid giving up an advantage granted in breach of Community law, whilst possibly benefiting from additional advantages in the form of a State guarantee under Article 2a of Law No 95.
The only appropriate solution is to repeal the provisions of Law No 80 and require Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax to repay the State aid that is incompatible with the common market pursuant to Commission Decision 92/296/EEC. The Italian Government has not, however, given a formal undertaking to that effect. It has described such a step as no more than a possibility, the realization of which depends on the outcome of work carried out by the administrative commission entrusted with the task of reviewing the criteria for the application of Law No 95, but without holding any decision-making powers.
It must be concluded that repealing Law No 80 is an absolute prerequisite for removing machinery which may give rise to repeated infringements of Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty and Articles 61 and 62 of the EEA Agreement.
Since Law No 80 was applied in the case of the repayment of the aid paid to Nuova Cartiera di Arbatax, it is also necessary to proceed without further delay to the recovery of that aid in order to restore the situation prevailing before it was granted, and to abolish all the financial and economic advantages enjoyed by the firm since the aid was granted (6),
The aid measures provided for in Law No 80/1993 are illegal inasmuch as they were not notified in advance to the Commission in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty. The measures are incompatible with the common market and with the operation of the Agreement on a European Economic Area, pursuant to Article 92 of the Treaty and Article 61 of the EEA Agreement.
Italy is hereby required to repeal the provisions of Law No 80/1993.
Italy shall notify the Commission, within two months of the date of notification of this Decision, of the steps it has taken to comply herewith.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 380 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 812/86 of 14 March 1986 on protection against imports which are the subject of dumping between the Community of Ten and the new Member States or between the new Member States during the period throughout which the transitional measures laid down by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal apply (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consultation of the Member States concerned as provided for under Regulation (EEC) No 812/86,
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 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84,
Whereas:
(1) By Royal Decree No 89/1985 of 9 January 1985 (3) the Spanish authorities imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of medical X-ray films for general use, emulsified on two sides, falling within subheading 37.01.B.III.a of the Spanish customs tariff, originating in Italy and supplied by 3M Italia.
(2) In October 1985 3M Italia requested that the Spanish authorities re-examine this measure.
(3) By Resolution of 19 November 1985 (4) of the 'Dirección General de Política Arancelaria e Importación' the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Spain of the product described in paragraph 1 originating in Italy was extended in order to include imports of this product originating in the Federal Republic of Germany and in Japan.
(4) Considering that no formal decisions were taken prior to 1 January 1986 by the competent Spanish authorities with regard to the abovementioned proceedings, these had to be continued by the Commission pursuant to Article 380 (3) of the Act of Accession.
Further to contacts between the Commission and all interested parties known to the Commission, the main Spanish manufacturer of the product concerned, holding a market share of at least . . . % (5) in Spain, stated that the imports concerned had ceased to cause material injury to the Spanish industry.
(5) In the light of the withdrawal of the main complainant, and given the changed circumstances resulting from the Accession of Spain to the Community, it is considered appropriate to terminate these proceedings and to consider that the injury caused by the imports from the Community of Ten terminated on 1 January 1986,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Spain of medical X-ray films for general use originating in the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy and Japan is hereby terminated.
Spain shall repeal Royal Decree No 89/1985 of 9 January 1985 with retroactive effect from 1 January 1986.
Spain shall within two months communicate to the Commission the laws, regulations or administrative provisions adopted to comply with this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Whereas a Community financial contribution will be given provided the abovementioned conditions are fulfilled, and the authorities will provide all necessary information in conformity with Article 24 (8) of Decision 90/424/EEC, and whereas it is appropriate to fix the Community financial participation at the rate of ECU 0,5 for each vaccine plus bait laid plus 50 % of the cost of aerial distribution of said vaccine plus bait;

(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for August 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for August 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.
