32000R1482 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1482/2000 of 6 July 2000 supplementing the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 on the entry of certain names in the Register of certificates of specific character provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs
| Commission Regulation (EC) No 1482/2000
of 6 July 2000
supplementing the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 on the entry of certain names in the Register of certificates of specific character provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 9(2)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, the Member States have forwarded to the Commission applications for the registration of certain names as denoting products of specific character.
(2) The names so registered are entitled to use the indication "traditional speciality guaranteed" which is reserved for them.
(3) A number of objections concerning the names "Leche certificada de Granja" and "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey" have been sent to the Commission in accordance with Article 7 of the Regulation following the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities of the main points of the applications for registration(2).
(4) The Commission asked the Member States, in accordance with Article 9(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, to seek agreement between themselves. No agreement has been reached and it is therefore up to the Commission to decide on the registration of the names concerned.
(5) The protection referred to in Article 13(2) of the Regulation has been requested but consideration of the various observations in the abovementioned objections shows that the use of the names for similar products is lawful, recognised and economically significant.
(6) However, the names "Leche certificada de Granja" and "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey" are entitled to be entered in the Register of certificates of specific character and protected at Community level under Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 as traditional specialities guaranteed. This does not prevent the names from continuing to be used in accordance with specifications other than those which are protected provided that the labelling does not bear the Community symbol or indication.
(7) Protection has been requested solely for the Spanish version of the name "Leche certificada de Granja" and for the English version of the name "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey". Therefore, in accordance with Council Directive 79/112/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/10/EC(4), on the labelling of foodstuffs, when these two products are marketed their labels must include in the other languages, immediately next to the name concerned, the words "traditional Spanishstyle" or their equivalent for the former product and the equivalent of "traditional Britishstyle" for the latter.
(8) As regards the name "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey", in accordance with Directive 79/112/EEC on the labelling of foodstuffs the labelling and in particular the information intended for consumers must in no case lead to confusion with the terms laid down for indicating types of farming in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 of 5 June 1991 introducing detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 on certain marketing standards for poultry(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1072/2000(6).
(9) The Annex to this Regulation supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2301/97(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2419/1999(8).
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee on Certificates of Specific Character,
The names in the Annex hereto are added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 and entered in the Register of certificates of specific character in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92.
They shall be protected in accordance with Article 13(1) of that Regulation.
When marketing "Leche certificada de Granja" in languages other than Spanish:
- the label must include the expression "traditional Spanish-style" in English (or its equivalent in the other languages).
When marketing "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey" in languages other than English:
- the label must include an expression equivalent to: "traditional British-style".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31999R0530 | Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 of 9 March 1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and on labour costs
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 530/1999 of 9 March 1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and on labour costs
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks assigned to it, the Commission should be kept informed of the level and composition of labour costs and of the structure and distribution of earnings in the Member States;
Whereas the development of the Community and the operation of the internal market increase the need for comparable data on the level and composition of labour costs and on the structure and distribution of earnings, particularly as a means of analysing the progress of economic and social cohesion and for establishing reliable and relevant comparisons between the Member States and the regions of the Community;
Whereas the best method of assessing the situation as regards labour costs and earnings is to compile Community statistics using harmonised methods and definitions as has been done on earlier occasions, most recently for 1996 in the case of the level and composition of labour costs pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 23/97 (1) and for 1995 in the case of the structure and distribution of earnings pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2744/95 (2);
Whereas, to reflect changes taking place in the structure of the labour force, in the distribution of earnings, and in the composition of expenditure by enterprises on wages and related employers' contributions, the statistics need to be regularly updated;
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 (3) the European System of National and Regional Accounts in the European Community (ESA-95) is the term of reference for standards, definitions and accounting practices in the Member States in order to meet the Community needs; whereas this necessitates the establishment of complete, reliable and comparable statistical sources at national and regional level; whereas the levels of breakdown to be applied to the variables are limited to what is necessary to ensure comparability with previous statistics and compatibility with national accounts requirements;
Whereas the European Central Bank (ECB) needs information on the level and composition of labour costs and on the structure and distribution of earnings in order to assess the economic development in the Member States in the context of a single European monetary policy;
Whereas statistical information in this field is available only in certain Member States and valid comparisons cannot therefore be made; whereas Community statistics should consequently be produced and the results processed on the basis of common definitions and harmonised methodologies, taking into account the standards approved by relevant international organisations;
Whereas presently not all Member States collect complete data in sections M (Education), N (Health and social work) and O (Other Community, social and personal service activities); whereas it is therefore appropriate to decide on their possible inclusion in the scope of this Regulation in the light of a report to be submitted by the Commission on the basis of pilot studies on the feasibility of collecting complete data in these sectors;
Whereas although the importance of complete data of all segments of the economy should be fully recognised, it should be carefully weighed against the reporting possibilities and the response burden in specific areas, in particular in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); whereas it is therefore appropriate for the Commission to carry out pilot studies on the feasibility of collecting complete data from statistical units with less than ten employees and that the Council decides on this matter in the light of a report to be submitted by the Commission, within four years of the entry into force of this Regulation; whereas the use of administrative records may be helpful in the meanwhile and should be encouraged;
Whereas, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the creation of common statistical standards enabling harmonised information to be produced is a proposed action the objectives of which can, by reason of its scale or effects be better achieved by the Community; whereas these standards will be implemented in each Member State on the authority of the agencies and institutions appointed to compile Community statistics;
Whereas it seems appropriate to make provisions for exceptions for certain Member States, in order to take account of particular technical difficulties encountered by such States in the collection of certain types of information, provided that the quality of the statistical information is not seriously affected;
Whereas the production of specific Community statistics is governed by the rules set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics (4);
Whereas the Statistical Programme Committee established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (5) has been consulted in accordance with Article 3 of the aforesaid Decision,
General provisions
The national authorities and Eurostat shall produce Community statistics on the level and composition of labour costs and on the structure and distribution of employees' earnings, in the economic activities defined in Article 3.
Reference period
1. The statistics on the level and composition of labour costs shall be produced for the calendar year 2000 and at four-yearly intervals thereafter.
2. The statistics on the structure and distribution of earnings shall be produced for the calendar year 2002 and for a representative month in that year, and at four-yearly intervals thereafter.
Scope
1. The statistics shall cover all economic activities defined in sections C (Mining and quarrying), D (Manufacturing), E (Electricity, gas and water supply), F (Construction), G (Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods), H (Hotels and restaurants), I (Transport, storage and communications), J (Financial intermediation), K (Real estate, renting and business activities), M (Education), N (Health and social work) and section O (Other community, social and personal service activities) of the general industrial classification of economic activities in the European Community, hereinafter referred to as 'NACE Rev. 1` established by Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 of 9 October 1990 on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (6).
2. The inclusion of economic activities defined in sections M (Education), N (Health and social work) and O (Other Community, social and personal service activities) of NACE Rev. 1 in the scope of this Regulation shall be optional for the reference years 2000 and 2002. They may also be made optional for the subsequent years in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 12, taking into account the results of pilot studies in this area, in particular those under Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics (7).
Taking into account the views of the Statistical Programme Committee, the Commission shall, within four years of the date of entry into force of this Regulation, compile a report taking into account the results of pilot studies, in particular, on the basis of existing sources in the area of statistical units with less than ten employees, and submit it to the Council. The report shall assess the application of the provisions of this Regulation relating to units with less than ten employees. The report shall weigh the importance of complete data against the reporting possibilities and the response burden. Following this report the Commission may, if necessary, submit appropriate initiatives to the Council for the amendment of this Regulation.
Statistical units
The compilation of the statistics shall be based on local units and enterprises as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the Community (8).

31988D0612 | 88/612/EEC: Commission Decision of 26 July 1988 amending for the second time Decision 82/740/EEC on the designation of development areas pursuant to Article 11 of the Belgian Law of 30 December 1970 (Only the French and Dutch versions of this text are authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 26 July 1988 amending for the second time Decision 82/740/EEC on the designation of development areas pursuant to Article 11 of the Belgian Law of 30 December 1970 (Only the French and Dutch versions of this text are authentic) (88/612/EEC) (88/612/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 92 and 93 thereof,
Whereas:
By Decision 82/740/EEC (1) the Commission defined its position regarding the compatibility with the common market of the designation of areas qualifying for the regional aid provided for in the Belgian Economic Expansion Law of 30 December 1970.
In Article 1 (a) of that Decision the Commission specified which Belgian development areas could qualify for an aid ceiling of 20 % net grant equivalent of the investment or ECU 3 500 per job created up to a limit of 25 % net grant equivalent of the investment. The last subparagraph of Article 1 (a) provides that the inclusion in the category of the arrondissements of Hasselt, Masseik and Tongeren in the province of Limburg is to be limited to a period of three years from the date of that Decision; the Commission is to review the socio-economic situation of those arrondissements before that period expires.
The Commission carried out the said review in 1985 and, in its Decision 85/544/EEC (2), replaced the last subparagraph of Article 1 (a) of Decision 82/740/EEC by the following:
´The inclusion in this category of the arrondissements of Hasselt, Maaseik and Tongeren in the province of Limburg shall be limited to a period ending on 22 July 1988; the Commission shall review the socio-economic situation of those arrondissements before that period expires.' By letter dated 17 May 1988, the Belgian Governement forwarded to the Commission information on the socio-economic situation in the arrondissements referred to above.
On the basis of that information and the other statistical data in its possession, the Commission has reviewed the socio-economic situation in those arrondissements as provided for in Article 1 of Decision 85/544/EEC.
It is apparent from the Commission's review that the unemployment situation in the arrondissement of Maaseik improved slightly between 1984 and 1988, but that unemployment remains high.
The situation in the arrondissements of Tongeren and Hasselt also improved between 1984 and the beginning of 1987, but subsequently declined as a result of the closure of three coalmines in the arrondissement of Hasselt between September 1987 and March 1988.
Overall, the review indicates that the conditions for granting the derogatiosn provided for in Article 1 (a) of Decision 82/740/EEC are still met. The maintenance of a 20 % ceiling for the three arrondissements is therefore justifiable for a period of three years, during which time the situation in Limburg could again improve. The Commission is to review the situation before that period expires,
The last subparagraph of Article 1 (a) of Decision 82/740/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
´The inclusion in this category of the arrondissements of Hasselt, Masseik, and Tongeren in the province of Limburg shall be limited to a period ending on 22 July 1991; the Commission shall review the socio-economic situation of those arrondissements before that period expires.' Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31999D0021 | 1999/21/EC, Euratom: Council Decision of 14 December 1998 adopting a multiannual framework programme for actions in the energy sector (1998-2002) and connected measures
| COUNCIL DECISION of 14 December 1998 adopting a multiannual framework programme for actions in the energy sector (1998-2002) and connected measures (1999/21/EC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and, in particular, Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community and, in particular, Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (4),
(1) Whereas the Commission communicated its views on the future of Community energy policy to the Council in its White Paper 'An energy policy for the European Union` of 13 December 1995; whereas the Council adopted a resolution on this White Paper on 8 July 1996 (5);
(2) Whereas energy is a vital factor in the economic and social development of the Community;
(3) Whereas the Community's dependence on external energy supplies is set to increase significantly in the years to come;
(4) Whereas the competitiveness of European business is heavily influenced by the level of energy costs;
(5) Whereas it is necessary for the quality of life of citizens to ensure that the development of energy production and consumption is compatible with environmental protection objectives;
(6) Whereas, in view of the strategic challenges facing the Community, the objectives of energy actions should focus in particular on security of supply, competitiveness and protection of the environment;
(7) Whereas the balanced achievement of these objectives requires particular attention to be devoted to the transparency, coherence and coordination of all of the energy actions taken at Community level;
(8) Whereas the Council, when it adopted Regulation (EC) No 701/97 of 14 April 1997 amending a programme to promote international cooperation in the energy sector - Synergy programme (6), considered that it would be opportune for the Commission to present a communication on all the Community programmes with an energy component, which could be followed by a proposal on the establishment of a framework programme for energy;
(9) Whereas the Commission presented a communication 'An overall view of energy policy and actions`, from which it emerges that the Community is pursuing a great many actions, but that these are scattered either between different energy policy programmes or various Community policies;
(10) Whereas it is necessary to ensure the management, complementarity and optimum use of budget resources;
(11) Whereas only a truly integrated and coordinated approach to Community actions in the energy field will enable the development of a coherent and effective policy which ensures that proper account is taken of all the aspects of the problems to be resolved;
(12) Whereas this coherent and effective policy must apply both to energy policy programmes as such and to the energy components of other Community policies;
(13) Whereas it is therefore necessary to define and establish a multiannual framework programme for the actions taken under the Community's energy policy;
(14) Whereas this framework programme should be implemented in the form of horizontal and thematic programmes;
(15) Whereas the horizontal programmes cover shared analyses and market monitoring, and international energy cooperation;
(16) Whereas the thematic programmes concern the promotion of renewable energy sources, the promotion of energy efficiency, the promotion of clean and efficient use of solid fuels, and actions in the nuclear sector, relating to the safe transport of radioactive materials and to safeguards and industrial cooperation to promote certain aspects of the safety of nuclear installations in the countries currently participating in the TACIS programme;
(17) Whereas, in view of the context and the specific structures within which energy actions relating to trans-European networks are conducted, the structures and the manner in which such actions are implemented should be maintained in the appropriate framework;
(18) Whereas, in view of the context and the specific structures within which energy actions relating to RTD are conducted, the structures and the manner in which such actions are implemented will continue to conform with the arrangements and procedures of the RTD framework programme; whereas, however, cooperation and coordination with the other structures should be enhanced;
(19) Whereas the principle of seeking the greatest possible coherence calls for the setting up of a single committee for the whole of the framework programme and its constituent actions;
(20) Whereas the single committee will assist the Commission in ensuring the greatest possible transparency and the dissemination of information between all the parties concerned; whereas a summary report on energy actions undertaken under various Community policies should be presented to this committee in order to ensure greater consistency of such actions; whereas, in view of the variety and technical complexity of the questions to be addressed, the single committee and the Commission should seek the assistance of appropriate experts where necessary; whereas the single committee will ensure that duplication of work between the programmes of this framework programme as well as in relation to other programmes of the Community will be avoided;
(21) Whereas, on the basis of key energy policy indicators, regular reports should be drawn up on the implementation of this framework programme; whereas, notwithstanding the systematic, regular evaluation of the actions, this framework programme and its specific programmes should be the subject of a mid-term review by independent experts;
(22) Whereas, without prejudice to the role of Member States and taking into account the principle of subsidiarity and the principle of proportionality in accordance with Article 3b of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the above objectives of energy policy and the boosting and coordination of energy actions carried out under the energy policy proper and in the framework of other Community policies should also be implemented at Community level;
(23) Whereas provision for the participation of third countries should be made in the specific programmes;
(24) Whereas a financial reference amount within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 (7), is included in this Decision for the entire duration of this framework programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaties; whereas account should be taken of the fact that a new financial perspective will be negotiated during the course of this framework programme; whereas, once the next financial perspective is drawn up, the funding of actions carried out in the priority areas of promotion of renewables and energy efficiency could be reviewed;
(25) Whereas the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community do not provide powers for the adoption of this Decision, the purpose of which is the coordination of all aspects of energy policy, other than those provided for in Article 235 and Article 203 of those Treaties respectively; whereas the specific programmes which will implement this framework programme will each be adopted on the appropriate legal basis,
1. A multiannual framework programme for Community actions in the field of energy, hereinafter referred to as the 'framework programme`, is hereby adopted for the period 1998-2002.
2. This framework programme shall primarily contribute to the balanced pursuit of the following priority objectives of energy policy:
- security of supply,
- competitiveness,
- protection of the environment.
3. This framework programme shall continue to greater transparency, coherence and coordination of all the Community's actions and other measures in the field of energy, as well as to an efficient use of financial resources, and ensure that these measures combine effectively with the actions taken in the framework of other Community policies.
Complementarity with relevant initiatives of the Member States, and Community initiatives conducted for example in the framework of research policy or trans-European networks, shall be sought.
1. This framework programme shall be implemented through six specific programmes of a horizontal or thematic nature corresponding to the following actions:
(a) development, in cooperation with the Member States, of a programme for regular monitoring of the evolution of the energy markets and trends, so that policy decisions relating to energy can be taken on the basis of a shared analysis;
(b) reinforcement, within the scope of this framework programme, of international cooperation in the energy field;
(c) promotion of renewable energy sources;
(d) encouragement of rational and efficient use of energy resources;
(e) promotion of the use of environmentally compatible technologies in the solid fuels sector;
(f) activities in the nuclear sector relating to safe transport of radioactive materials and also to safeguards and industrial cooperation in order to promote safety in nuclear facilities in countries included in the TACIS programme.
2. Each specific programme, the duration of which shall coincide with the period of application of this framework programme, shall set out the arrangements for its implementation.
3. Implementation of this framework programme may give rise, within its scope, to additional Community initiatives in accordance with the procedures of the Treaties. It may also lead to cooperation with third countries or international organisations.
1. The financial reference amount for the implementation of this framework programme shall be ECU 170 million. Of this amount, ECU 68 million is for the period 1998 to 1999.
The financial reference amount for the period 2000 to 2002 shall be reviewed if the amount of ECU 102 million is not consistent with the financial perspective for that period.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 29 July 1991 on the conditions for granting temporary and limited derogations from specific Community health rules on the production and marketing of fresh meat (91/498/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas fresh meat is included on the list of products in Annex II to the Treaty; whereas their marketing provides a source of income for a large part of the farming population;
Whereas, to ensure rational development of the sector, increase productivity and progressively to establish the conditions for an internal market, health rules applying
to production and marketing have been laid down at Community level by Directive 64/433/EEC (4) as amended and codified by Directive 91/497/EEC (5);
Whereas it is possible that, because of particular circumstances, some establishments will be unable, by
1 January 1993, to comply with all of the specific rules laid down; whereas in order to take account of local situations and to prevent abrupt closures of establishments, arrangements should be made for limited and temporary derogations for establishments in operation before 1 January 1992;
Whereas the granting of derogations from specific Community health rules to certain establishments is without prejudice to the requirement that all production and marketing operations conform to the hygiene rules laid down by Directive 64/433/EEC;
Whereas to forestall any risk of abuse, these derogations must be strictly controlled by the Commission; whereas to this end, there should be a procedure for close and effective cooperation between the Commission and the Member States within the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Member States shall ensure that from 1 January 1996:
- all establishments fulfil the requirements of Directive 64/433/EEC,
- meat from such establishments bears the health
mark specified in Annex I, Chapter X of Directive 64/433/EEC or, in the case of establishments referred to in Article 4 of the said Directive, bears the health mark specified in paragraph 3 of that Article.
1. Member States may, until 31 December 1995, authorize establishments which, on the date on which this Directive is notified, have not been judged to comply with the requirements laid down by Directive 64/433/EEC for their approval, to derogate from some of the requirements laid down in points 1 to 13 of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC provided that meat from such establishments bears the national mark.
2. Derogations as referred to in paragraph 1 may be granted only to establishments which have, before 1 April 1992, submitted an application for a derogation to the relevant national authority.
This application must be accompanied by a work plan and programme indicating the period within which it would be possible for the establishment to comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1.
Where financial assistance is requested from the Community, only requests in respect of projects complying with the requirements of Directive 64/433/EEC can be accepted.
Member States shall submit to the Commission before 1 July 1992 a list of the establishments for which it is proposed to grant a derogation. This list shall, for each individual establishment, specify the type and duration of the derogations envisaged, the nature of checks made on meat from the establishment in question and the staff responsible for carrying out those checks.
National approval of establishments which have not submitted applications for a derogation by the date referred
to in the first subparagraph or whose applications have been
refused by the Member State concerned shall be withdrawn before 1 January 1993.
On receipt of the list referred to in the fourth paragraph submitted by a Member State, the Commission shall have two months within which to examine that list and its submission, if necessary after amendment to the Standing Veterinary Committee which shall decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6.
3. The list of establishments which have been granted derogations shall be published by the Commission.
With effect from 1 July 1992, Article 2 of Council Directive 88/409/EEC of 15 June 1988 laying down the health rules applying to meat intended for the domestic market and the levels of the fees to be charged, pursuant to Directive 85/73/EEC, in respect of the inspection of such meat (6) shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 2
As from 1 January 1996 Member States shall take
the necessary steps to ensure that all fresh meat produced
in their territory for marketing there is obtained in
an approved establishment in accordance with the provisions of Directive 64/433/EEC.'
Until 31 December 1997, the Hellenic Republic shall be authorized to continue, in less-favoured sparsely populated areas to be recognized in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6, the slaughtering of sheep and goats which, from 15 February to 15 May, is carried out in premises which do not satisfy the requirements of Annexes I and II to Directive 64/433/EEC and to derogate with respect to the requirement for hot water from the provisions of Annex II, point 2 (a) to that Directive.
The Hellenic Republic shall ensure that meat obtained under this derogation can be placed on the market only in Greece and only after it has undergone a post-mortem inspection by
an official veterinarian and has received the health mark provided for in Article 4A (3) of Directive 64/433/EEC.
The Council shall, on the basis of a report from the Commission, accompanied by possible proposals on which it will decide by a qualified majority, re-examine this Article.
The Federal Republic of Germany may, in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 6, obtain a further period for establishments situated in the Laender of the former German Democratic Republic within the framework of current restructuring plans.
Where reference is made to the procedure provided for in this Article, the rules applicable shall be those set out in Article 16 of Directive 64/433/EEC.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Article 2 (2) on 1 January 1992 and with the other provisions of this Directive on 1 January 1993. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas the products in question, harvested in a given production year, are marketed, as regards cauliflowers, from May to April of the following year;
Whereas, therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of cauliflower prices, the basic price and the buying-in price for this product must be fixed for the period from 1 to 13 May 1990;

Whereas Article 148 (1) of the Act of Accession results in a price level in Spain differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 149, the Spanish prices should be aligned more closely on the common prices each year at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the criteria laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices fixed at the levels set out below,
The basic price and the buying-in price for cauliflowers, in ecus per 100 kilograms net, shall be fixed as follows for the period from 1 to 13 May 1990;
- basic price: 24,43 for Spain and 30,96 for the other Member States excluding Portugal,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
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 third subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Metalaxyl is one of the active substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 of 20 November 2002 extending the time period referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to that Directive and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (3), for the active substances which are assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 the time period referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC expired on 31 December 2006.
(3) On 2 May 2003 the Commission adopted Decision 2003/308/EC concerning the non-inclusion of metalaxyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substance (4).
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2024/2006 of 22 December 2006 laying down transitional measures derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 and Decisions 98/270/EC, 2002/928/EC, 2003/308/EC, 2004/129/EC, 2004/141/EC, 2004/247/EC, 2004/248/EC, 2005/303/EC and 2004/864/EC as regards the continued use of plant protection products containing certain substances not included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by reason of the accession of Romania (5) provides for a derogation from Article 3 of Decision 2003/308/EC.
(5) The Court of Justice of the European Communities, in its judgment of 18 July 2007 in Case C-326/05 P (6), annulled Decision 2003/308/EC.
(6) Article 233 of the Treaty requires the institution whose act has been declared void to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice.
(7) Consequently, it is necessary to extend for metalaxyl the time period provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 to allow that substance to be assessed and to allow Member States to authorise plant protection products containing that active substance in the meantime. Further details on the assessment procedure for metalaxyl will have to be defined in a specific act. In order to execute the judgment as soon as possible, the time period should be extended without waiting for the adoption of such an act.
(8) Regulations (EC) No 2076/2002 and (EC) No 2024/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 the following sentence is inserted after the first sentence:
‘However, for metalaxyl the time period of 12 years referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC shall be extended until 30 June 2010’.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the United Kingdom’s application to register the name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(3).
(3) Dairy Australia, the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand and the Consortium for Common Food Names lodged statements of objection to that registration pursuant to Article 7(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Those statements of objection were deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(4) The abovementioned statements of objection stressed, in particular, that registering the name in question would jeopardise the existence of names, trade marks or products which had been marketed legally for at least five years before the publication date provided for in Article 6(2), and that the name proposed for registration was generic.
(5) By letter of 20 March 2013 the Commission asked the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations.
(6) Agreement was reached between the United Kingdom and the objecting parties within the stipulated three-month period and notified to the Commission on 8 July 2013.
(7) It emerges from the abovementioned consultations that the objecting parties’ main concern is the status of the one word ‘Cheddar’ in the composite name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’. However, the protection sought by the producer relates only to the said composite name as a whole. Pursuant to the last subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the name ‘Cheddar’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.
(8) The name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’ should therefore be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications,
The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
Notwithstanding the first paragraph, the name ‘Cheddar’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.

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

Whereas:
(1) Under Article 387 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Malta may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in points 8 and 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2) In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 4 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Malta has requested authorisation from the Commission to use fixed percentages of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in points 8 and 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Malta has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Malta should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using fixed percentages in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Malta is authorised to use 0,40 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 8 of Annex X, Part B, (supply of water) to Directive 2006/112/EC.
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Malta is authorised to use 1,06 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B, (passenger transport) to Directive 2006/112/EC.

Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of hexavalent chromium in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Hexavalent chromium is used in alkali dispensers that are used in order to create photocathodes in X-ray image intensifiers. Elimination or substitution of hexavalent chromium in the fabrication process of photocathodes is not possible as at present substitutes and alternative technologies are not sufficiently reliable or available to cover the full product demand range.
(3) Some of the hexavalent chromium from the fabrication process of photocathodes inevitably remains inside the product that is placed on the market.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (2), lays down quotas for 2014.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2014.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas the Community has adopted, with regard to the placing on the market and utilization of products, a set of rules which are binding on all the Member States and on all economic operators;
Whereas, from the date of German unification onwards, Community law will be automatically applicable in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas such application may give rise to difficulties owing to the level of development of the local economy;
Whereas Article 8c of the Treaty calls on the Commission to take into account the extent of the effort that certain economies showing differences in development will have to sustain during the period of establishment of the internal market;
Whereas such derogations must be temporary and must cause the least possible disturbance to the functioning of the common market; whereas they must not, however, jeopardize the health and safety of consumers;
Whereas the information available on the situation regarding the rules and regulations in force and regarding industry in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic is such that it is not possible to establish definitively the extent of the derogations; whereas, so that account can be taken of developments in that situation, a simplified procedure must be set up in accordance with the third indent of Article 145 of the Treaty for the purpose of adjusting and administering the derogations,
1. By way of derogation from the Directives listed in the Annex, the Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to maintain in force in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic the existing rules and regulations in respect of products which have been or which are manufactured there, on condition that this does not affect
the placing on the market and the free movement in that territory of products complying with Community Directives.
2. This authorization shall be applicable to the Community Directives listed in the Annex until 31 December 1992.
3. The German authorities may extend the derogations provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 to include products covered by the agreements appearing in Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EEC) 3568/90(4). Such measures shall be taken within the limits of the maximum quantities and values laid down in the said agreements and to satisfy the market requirements of the former German Democratic Republic.
1. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, Member States shall ensure, in the context of product conformity checking procedures, that products which qualify for a derogation under Article 1 are not placed on markets other than that of the former German Democratic Republic.
2. The Federal Republic of Germany shall take all measures necessary to ensure that products not complying with the Community Directives referred to in Article 1 are not placed on the market in the territory of the Community other than the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; such measures shall be compatible with the Treaty, and in particular with the objectives of Article 8a, and shall not give rise to any additional controls or formalities at frontiers between Member States.
3. Any Member State may refer any difficulties to the Commission. The Commission shall, as a matter of urgency, examine the question and submit its conclusions, possibly accompanied by appropriate measures. Such measures shall be adopted according to the procedure laid down in Article 5.
1. The rules and regulations whose maintenance in force is authorized under Article 1 and the control measures taken pursuant to Article 2 shall be notified to the Commission not later than on the date when the interim measures adopted pursuant to Regulation No 2684/90/EEC(5) are replaced by transitional measures, and at any rate no later than 31 December 1990. Such rules, regulations and control measures that are notified to the Commission shall be immediately published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. 2. The Federal Republic of Germany shall report on the application of the measures taken pursuant to this Directive on 31 December 1991, 31 December 1992 and 31 December 1995. The report shall be forwarded to the Commission, which shall communicate it to the other Member States and the European Parliament.
1. A decision may be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5 to take measures involving adjustments to fill obvious loopholes and technical adjustments to the measures taken pursuant to this Directive.
2. Such adjustments shall be designed to ensure the consistent application of Community rules in the sector covered by this Directive in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, taking into account the specific situation obtaining in that territory and the particular difficulties attending implementation of such rules.
They shall respect the principles underlying these rules and shall be closely related to one of the derogations provided for in the Directive.
3. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 may be taken until 31 December 1992. They shall cease to be operative on that date.
For the purposes of Article 2 (3) and Article 4, the Commission shall be assisted by a committee composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is requiered to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not vote.
The Commission shall adopt the measures envisaged if they are in accordance with the opinion of the committee.
If the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall, without delay, submit to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.
If, upon expiry of a period of one month from the date of referral to the Council, the Council has not acted, the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.

31976L0625 | Council Directive 76/625/EEC of 20 July 1976 concerning the statistical surveys to be carried out by the Member States in order to determine the production potential of plantations of certain species of fruit trees
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 20 July 1976 concerning the statistical surveys to be carried out by the Member States in order to determine the production potential of plantations of certain species of fruit trees (76/625/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Commission, in order to perform the task conferred upon it by the Treaty and by Community provisions governing the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables, needs to be kept well informed on the production potential of plantations of certain species of fruit trees within the Community and to have available medium-term estimates of production and supply on the markets;
Whereas surveys of fruit tree plantations are currently carried out only by some Member States ; whereas these surveys do not permit the precise, uniform and synchronized observation of the production and supply of fruit on the markets ; whereas a medium-term estimate of production and supply on the markets is at present made only by some Member States;
Whereas it is therefore advisable to carry out surveys concurrently in all Member States on plantations of fruit trees of the same species in accordance with the same criteria and with comparable accuracy ; whereas new plantations attain their full yield only after a certain number of years ; whereas these surveys should therefore be repeated every five years ; whereas in this way reliable statistics may be obtained on production potential taking account of the fruit trees which are not yet productive;
Whereas, in theory, surveys should be limited to undertakings in which a minimum area of 1 500 square metres is planted with apple, pear, peach or orange trees, with a view to fruit production for sale ; whereas orchards of less than 1 500 square metres in area may be disregarded because of their negligible influence on market supply;
Whereas uniform surveys should be carried out in each Member State on the main varieties of each species of fruit, endeavouring at the same time to establish subdivisions according to variety which are as complete as necessary;
Whereas, since the annual calculations of production potential must be based on the results of these surveys, indications as to the age of trees and the density of plantation should also be obtained ; whereas these results must be notified to the Commission as rapidly as possible;
Whereas the preparation of medium-term estimates requires that each year Member States should estimate and notify the Commission of the area of fruit trees which has been cleared ; whereas the Commission should also be sent details every year of new plantations of fruit trees of the abovementioned species; (1)OJ No C 159, 12.7.1976, p. 40.
Whereas, in any Member State where, since the last survey on fruit tree plantations, exceptionally extensive clearing has been noted, special and more detailed surveys should be carried out on the volume of clearing and the results thereof notified to the Commission;
Whereas consideration should also be given to statistics resulting from the application of certain Community measures for reorganizing Community fruit production;
Whereas the Commission must submit reports so that the Council may examine to what extent the surveys and estimates carried out enable the objective of this Directive to be achieved and must suggest, where appropriate, that methods should be aligned;
Whereas the previous surveys carried out between 1969 and 1974 by the six original Member States in compliance with Directive 71/286/EEC (1) were not synchronized ; whereas surveys of fruit tree plantations have not been carried out in a uniform manner or at all by the three new Member States;
Whereas the experience acquired in previous surveys of fruit tree plantations has shown that it is necessary to introduce a certain flexibility into the statistical classification of the technical characteristics to be surveyed;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure that when this Directive is applied cooperation between Member States and the Commission will be as effective as possible ; whereas the detailed rules for the application of the Directive must be adopted after an opinion has been given by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics set up by Decision 72/279/EEC (2);
Whereas the procedure to be followed by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics should be laid down;
Whereas the financial responsibility of the Community should be defined with regard to expenditure incurred by the Member States for the first survey provided for by this Directive,
1. Member States shall carry out in 1977, and in the spring of each fifth year thereafter, surveys on plantations of fruit trees existing on their territory for the production of dessert apples and pears (excluding purely cooking varieties), peaches and oranges.
2. The survey provided for in paragraph 1 shall apply to all undertakings having an area planted with the species of fruit trees referred to in paragraph 1, provided that the area covers at least 1 500 square metres and that the fruit produced are entirely or mainly intended for sale.
The survey shall cover pure and mixed crops, that is to say plantations of fruit trees of several of the species referred to in paragraph 1 or of one or more of them together with other species.
The survey shall also cover areas cultivated not only for fruit production but also for other kinds of agricultural production, provided fruit trees of the species referred to in paragraph 1 are the main crop.
3. The survey may either be exhaustive or based on random sampling.
1. In carrying out the surveys provided for in Article 1, the following characteristics are to be noted in respect of the species of fruit referred to in Article 1 (1).
These surveys must be organized so that the results may be presented in various combinations of these characteristics. A. Variety of fruit
For each species of fruit, and in order of importance, enough varieties must be shown to enable a separate assessment to be made for each Member State, by variety, of at least 80 % of the total area planted with fruit trees of the species in question and, in any case, all varieties representing 3 % or more of the total area planted with fruit trees of the species in question.
The survey relating to peach trees shall be carried out in Italy, France and Germany only, and in Germany no distinction between varieties shall be made. The survey relating to orange trees shall be carried out in Italy only.
B. Age of trees
Age of trees must be calculated from the time of their planting in the orchard. The planting season extending from the autumn to the spring shall be considered as a single period. When there has been double grafting, the time when this was carried out shall be the determining factor.
C. Net area planted, number of trees and density of plantation
The surveyors or departments responsible for analysing the questionnaries shall determine the class of the density of plantation by the net area planted and the number of trees.
The actual density of plantation may also be surveyed and quoted directly. (1)OJ No L 179, 9.8.1971, p. 21. (2)OJ No L 179, 7.8.1972, p. 1.
2. If the Member States, in respect of the areas planted with fruit trees referred to in Article 1 (1), take note of additional characteristics complying with the purpose of this Directive, bearing for example on stock, the shapes of trees and the height of the trunk, the results must also be notified to the Commission, in so far as they are reliable.
3. Detailed rules for applying this Article, in particular those concerning the classes of age and of density of plantation, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.
1. Member States shall take appropriate measures to limit mistakes of reporting and, if necessary, to estimate their effect on the whole of the area planted with fruit trees of each species.
2. So far as the results of the surveys carried out by random sampling are concerned, Member States shall take every measure to ensure that sampling errors at the 68 % confidence level shall, at the most, be of the order of 3 % for the whole of the national area planted with fruit trees of each species.
1. Member States shall notify the Commission of the results of the surveys drawn up in the prescribed form as rapidly as possible, and in any case before 1 April of the year following that in which the survey was carried out.
2. The results referred to in paragraph 1 must be supplied for each production area. The boundaries of the production areas to be adopted for Member States shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.
If Member States cannot establish the data by production area, statistics must be given for each of the territories mentioned in the Annex.
3. Sampling errors together with any mistakes discovered in reporting as referred to in Article 3 must be notified before 1 June of the year following that in which the survey was carried out.
4. Member States which process their survey information electronically shall submit the results referred to in paragraph 1 in a machine-readable form to be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.
1. Member States shall make annual estimates of the areas of fruit trees of the species referred to in Article 1 (1) the clearing of which has been carried out on their territory during the previous season and shall notify the results of their estimates to the Commission by 31 December at the latest.
If surveys have been conducted on the extent of the clearing, results shall be notified to the Commission by 31 December at the latest.
2. If, within a Member State, the clearing referred to in paragraph 1 has been particularly extensive and if precise details on that subject are lacking, the Member States concerned shall, at the request of and in cooperation with the Commission, carry out surveys in the spring of the following year on the extent of the clearing carried out on its national territory since the last survey on the areas planted with fruit trees of the species referred to in Article 1 (1). The Member State concerned shall notify the results of the survey to the Commission within eight months after carrying it out. This provision shall not be applicable during the survey years fixed in Article 1 (1), nor in the year preceding or following the survey year.
3. Statistics obtained by applying other Community measures concerning the clearing of areas planted with the species referred to in Article 1 (1) must be taken into consideration.
1. Member States shall supply the Commission every year, by 31 December at the latest, with details, gathered on their territory during the previous season, on new plantations of fruit trees of the species referred to in Article 1 (1). In so far as possible these details must distinguish between varieties.
2. Statistics obtained by applying other Community measures concerning plantations of fruit trees of the species referred to in Article 1 (1) must be taken into consideration.
The Commission shall study the following in consultation and standing collaboration with Member States: (a) the results supplied,
(b) the technical problems raised, in particular by preparing and carrying out the surveys and the notifications,
(c) the significance of the findings of the surveys and notifications.
The Commission shall submit to the Council, within one year after notification of the results by Member States, a report on experience acquired during the first survey in the enlarged Community ; the Commission shall also provide the Council, from 1 January 1977, with annual reports on the subject of Articles 5 and 6.
The Commission shall, where appropriate, submit proposals to the Council with a view to the harmonization of the methods used by the Member States. The Council shall act on these proposals by a qualified majority.
1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, the Chairman shall refer the matter to the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics (hereinafter called the "Committee"), either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall give its opinion on this draft within a time limit to be set by the Chairman in accordance with the urgency of the question. It shall act by a majority of 41 votes and the votes of Member States shall be weighted as laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.
3. (a) The Commission shall adopt the proposed measures when they are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee.
(b) When the proposed measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee or in the absence of any opinion, the Commission shall immediately submit to the Council a proposal for the measures to be taken. The Council shall decide by a qualified majority.
(c) If after three months no decision has been taken by the Council the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.

| COUNCIL DECISION of 19 July 1982 authorizing the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal (82/530/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Communities,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community rules concerning trade with third countries in agricultural products subject to a common organization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the Act of Accession and with Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1);
Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the Island's agriculture;
Whereas, prior to the introduction of the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, Isle of Man, as part of its local market organization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the Island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of the trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the Island and in its own agricultural support system;
Whereas in the context of the trade arrangements with certain third countries pursuant to the common organization of the market which apply to the Isle of Man, subject to the Community provisions which govern the relationship between the Island and the Community, it is desirable to permit the Island authorities to apply certain measures in order to protect its own production and the working of its own agricultural support system;
Whereas, therefore, the United Kingdom should be permitted to authorize the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in third countries and in Member States of the Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with third countries provided for by Regulations (EEC) No 805/68 (2) and (EEC) No 1837/80 (3);
Whereas it appears desirable to provide for such system to apply for two years, with the possibility of reviewing the situation at the end of that period,
1. In order to limit imports the United Kingdom may authorize the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special import licences to products of the sheepmeat and beef and veal sectors, falling within subheadings 01.02 A, 02.01 A II, 01.04 and 02.01 A IV of the Common Customs Tariff.
2. This system shall be applied without prejudice to the application of the measures provided for in Title II of Regulations (EEC) No 805/68 and (EEC) No 1837/80.
3. This system shall be applied in such a way as to ensure equality of treatment for all products from whatever source and for all importers of meat, while maintaining as far as possible the traditional patterns of trade and taking account of the Communities' rules on animal health.
4. The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission of the measures taken in pursuance of paragraph 1.
This Decision shall apply until 1 April 1984.
The Commission shall present to the Council, before 1 January 1984, a report on the application of the system, together with any proposals for the retention of, or amendment to, this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2436/2001
of 13 December 2001
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 December 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 24(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 provides a list of food colours for which the labelling has to include the additional information that those colours may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.
(2) An exception to that rule is already provided for in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for foods where the colour has been used for the purposes of health or other marking on meat products or for stamping or decorative colouring on eggshells.
(3) The colours listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 can be used in certain alcoholic beverages, such as aromatised wines, aromatised wine-based drinks and aromatised wine-product cocktails, fruit wines, cider, perry and certain spirituous beverages. Taking into account that products containing more than 1,2 % by volume of alcohol, are not intended for consumption by children, the additional labelling provided for in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is, therefore, neither necessary nor appropriate for such foods.
(4) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 shall be amended as follows:
The footnote ‘(*) With the exception of foods where the colour(s) has been used for the purposes of health or other marking on meat products or for stamping or decorative colouring on eggshells’ is replaced by the following:
‘(*) With the exception of:
(a) foods where the colour(s) has been used for the purposes of health or other marking on meat products or for stamping or decorative colouring on eggshells; and
(b) beverages containing more than 1,2 % by volume of alcohol.’

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1299/94 (4), lays down detailed rules for implementing the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community, in particular as regards the determination of the category of operators and the conditions under which import licences are granted;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 does not lay down conditions to be met by Category C operators; whereas experience shows that if the tariff quota is to be administered properly, certain criteria need to be laid down to determine the operators in this category, who should be required in particular to have been engaged beyond a minimum extent in the international trade in fruit and vegetables before applying for registration and, in the case of new allocation applications, to have used up a minimum percentage of the previous annual allocation;
Whereas, since specific criteria are to be laid down for determining operators in Category C, the dates laid down in Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 should be postponed as far as 1994 is concerned;
Whereas, as regards the detailed rules concerning import licences for traditional ACP bananas, for reasons connected with management the period for lodging licence applications should be adjusted and the detailed rules on issue by the Member States should be made clearer;
Whereas this Regulation should enter into force immediately in view of the time limits laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 3:
'5. Economic agents, whether natural or legal persons, individual agents or groups established in the Community who have been engaged in the import and/or export of fruit and vegetables for at least one year at the date of submission of their applications for annual allocation in accordance with Article 4 (4) shall be deemed Category C "operators" for the purposes of Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 and may hold import licences. Compliance with this condition shall be certified by proof of entry in a commercial register of the Member State or by alternative proof accepted by the Member State, and also by evidence of import and/or export of the goods.
Where an application for allocation is submitted as from 1995 in respect of a new year by a Category C operator already registered in respect of a preceding year, he must provide proof that he has actually released for free circulation, on his own account, at least 50 % of the quantity allocated to him in respect of the year during which the allocation application is submitted.
Member States shall verify compliance with this paragraph.'
2. The first sentence of Article 4 (4) is replaced by the following:
'Category C operators established in the Community must submit their applications for the allocation of annual quantities, together with the proof specified in Article 3 (5), to the competent authorities of any one Member State by 1 October each year.'
3. Article 14 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. Import licence applications shall be lodged with the competent authorities of any Member State during the first seven days of the last month of the quarter preceding that in respect of which the licences are issued.'
4. The second subparagraph of the Article 16 (1) is replaced by the following:
'For each ACP country of origin, the competent national authorities shall issue licences for the quantities covered by applications, except where a single percentage is set pursuant to paragraph 2 to reduce the quantities allocated.'
By way of derogation from Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, annual allocation applications from Category C operators for 1995 must be lodged between the date of entry into force of this Regulation and 18 October 1994. The competent authorities shall inform the Commission before 25 October 1994 of the total quantity covered by applications. Before 15 November 1994 they shall inform the operators of the quantities allocated to them.
Allocation applications submitted before 1 October 1994 in respect of 1995 shall be rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.

(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

(2) Directive 74/346/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the EC type-approval system provided for in Council Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors, as replaced by Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units (5) and lays down technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors as regards rear-view mirrors. Those technical prescriptions concern the approximation of the laws of the Member States to enable the EC type-approval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect of each type of tractor. Consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 2003/37/EC relating to agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive.
(3) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States concerning the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Part B of Annex II,
1. ‘Tractor’ (agricultural or forestry) means any motor vehicle, fitted with wheels or endless tracks and having at least two axles, the main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load and passengers.
2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in paragraph 1 which are equipped with pneumatic tyres and have a maximum design speed of between 6 and 40 km/h.
1. No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval, to issue the document provided for in Article 2(u) of Directive 2003/37/EC, or to grant national type-approval in respect of a type of tractor on grounds relating to the rear-view mirrors, if these satisfy the requirements set out in Annex I.
2. Member States may no longer issue the document referred to in Article 2(u) of Directive 2003/37/EC for any type of tractor that does not meet the requirements of this Directive.
Member States may refuse to grant national type-approval in respect of a type of tractor that does not meet the requirements of this Directive.
No Member State may refuse or prohibit the sale, registration, initial entry into service or use of tractors on grounds relating to the rear-view mirrors, if these satisfy the requirements set out in Annex I.
The amendments necessary to adapt to technical progress the requirements of Annex I shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 20(3) of Directive 2003/37/EC.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Directive 74/346/EEC, as amended by the Directives listed in Part A of Annex II, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Part B of Annex II.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the case of some acts requiring adaptation on account of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, provision was not made for the necessary adaptations in the Act of Accession of 2005. These adaptations must be adopted before accession so as to be applicable from the date of accession.

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 11181 as a feed additive for calves for rearing and for fattening and weaned piglets (holder of authorisation Chr. Hansen A/S) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1333/2004
(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) A preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 11181 was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on calves for rearing and for fattening and weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1333/2004 (3). That preparation was subsequently entered in the European Union 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 that preparation as a feed additive for calves for rearing and for fattening and weaned piglets, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 1 February 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 11181 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or on the environment, and that it is efficacious in improving zootechnical performance of calves for rearing and for fattening and weaned piglets. 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 Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 11181 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 the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) As a new authorisation is granted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 1333/2004 should be repealed.
(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive, pre-mixtures and compound feed containing it, as authorised by Regulation (EC) No 1333/2004.
(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 the Annex, 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.
Regulation (EC) No 1333/2004 is repealed.
The preparation specified in the Annex and feed containing that preparation, which are produced and labelled before 11 March 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 11 September 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

31992D0061 | 92/61/EEC: Commission Decision of 27 January 1992 terminating the antidumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan
| COMMISSION DECISION of 27 January 1992 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan (92/61/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEEDING
(1) In April 1990, the Commission received a complaint from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (Cefic) (hereinafter referred to as 'the complainant') on behalf of the only Community producer of dihydrostreptomycin (hereinafter referred to as 'DHS') concerning imports of that product originating in the People's Republic of China and Japan.
(2) The complaint contained evidence of the existence of dumping and of the resulting material injury, which was sufficient to justify the opening of an investigation. The Commission therefore announced, in a notice published in the Offical Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning the product in question, which falls within CN code 2941 20 10.
B. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(3) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/91 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of dihydrostreptomycin (DHS) falling within CN code 2941 20 10 and originating in China. Furthermore, the validity of the provisional duty was extended for a period not exceeding two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91 (4).
(4) In recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation the Commission found that the imports of DHS from Japan had not caused or contributed to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
C. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
(5) No reasoned arguments were put forward by either the Community industry or the exporter of DHS from China which has previously disputed the Commission's findings as set out in recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation in relation to the exports of DHS originating in Japan.
D. TERMINATION
(6) Accordingly, it is apparent that protective measures with regard to Japan are unnecessary and the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of DHS originating in Japan should be terminated without measures being imposed.
(7) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.
(8) The complainant was informed of the essential facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding concerning Japan and did not dispute them,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 47(2), 55 and 95 thereof, in conjunction with the first sentence of Article 300(2) and the second subparagraph of Article 300(3),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament(3),
Whereas:
(1) The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) adopted in Geneva on 20 December 1996 under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organisation will help to ensure a balanced level of protection for works and other subject matter, while allowing the public access to material available via networks.
(2) The competence of the Community to conclude or accede to international agreements or treaties does not derive only from explicit conferral by the Treaty but may also derive from other provisions of the Treaty and from acts adopted pursuant to those provisions by Community institutions.
(3) The subject matter of the WCT and the WPPT falls to a large extent within the scope of existing Community directives in this field.
(4) It follows that the approval of the WCT and the WPPT is a matter for both the Community and its Member States.
(5) The WCT and the WPPT should therefore be approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.
(6) The Community has already signed the WCT and the WPPT, subject to final conclusion.
(7) The deposit of the instruments of conclusion of the Community should take place as far as possible simultaneously with the deposit of the instruments of ratification of the Member States,
1. The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.
2. The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community with regard to matters within its competence.
3. The texts of the Treaties are attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to deposit the instruments of conclusion with the Director-General of the World Intellectual Property Organisation as from the date by which the Member States will have to bring into force the measures adopted by the European Parliament and the Council necessary to adapt the existing Community legislation to the obligations deriving from the WCT and the WPPT.
1. The Commission is hereby authorised to represent the Community at the meetings of the Assemblies referred to in the WCT and WPPT.
2. On all matters within the sphere of competence of the Community, the Commission shall negotiate in the Assemblies of the WCT and the WPPT on behalf of the Community in accordance with the applicable rules of the EC Treaty, in particular Article 300 thereof.
3. The position which the Community may adopt within the Assemblies shall be prepared by the relevant Council working party. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1043/98 of 19 May 1998 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999)
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 under schedule CXL the Community undertook to open an annual import tariff quota of 169 000 head of young male bovine animals for fattening; whereas the rules for the application of that quota should be established for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999;
Whereas the supply requirements of certain regions of the Community which have a serious shortfall of bovine animals for fattening should be taken into account; whereas, as those requirements are apparent particularly in Italy and Greece, priority should be given to satisfying demand in those two Member States;
Whereas a method of management should be applied which is comparable to that used in the past for corresponding quotas, involving, in particular, a continuation of the method of allocation between traditional importers and traders furnishing proof of active involvement in trade in live animals with third countries;
Whereas it should be stipulated that the arrangements are to be managed using import licences; whereas to that end rules should be laid down on submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where applicable by way of derogation from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for certain agricultural products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1033/98 (3), and of 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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 759/98 (5);
Whereas the application of this tariff quota requires strict surveillance of imports and effective checks as to their use and destination; whereas, therefore, importation must take place into the Member State which issued the import licence;
Whereas so that to the destination can be checked, provision should be made for imported animals to be identified in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 of 21 April 1997 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products (6);
Whereas a security should be lodged in order to guarantee that the animals are fattened for at least 120 days in designated production units; whereas the amount of the security should be fixed taking into account the difference between the customs duties applicable inside and outside the quota;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. A tariff quota of 169 000 head of live male bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49 and intended for fattening in the Community is hereby opened for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999.
The order number of the quota shall be 09.4005.
2. The customs import duty to apply for the quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be ECU 582 per tonne plus 16 % ad valorem.
Application of these rates of duty shall be conditional upon the fattening of the imported animals in the Member State of importation for a period of at least 120 days.
The conversion rate for the duty expressed in ecus shall be the agricultural conversion rate applicable on the day of importation.
3. For the purpose of this Regulation, the day of importation is the day of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.
1. The quantities referred to in Article 1(1) shall be allocated for importation into the following Member States:

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 7 June 1988
on consumer protection in the indication of the prices of non-food products
(88/314/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the programmes of the Community for a consumer protection and information policy (4) provide for the establishment of common principles for indicating prices;
Whereas Council Directive 79/581/EEC of 19 June 1979 on consumer protection in the indication of the prices of foodstuffs (5) makes it compulsory to indicate the prices of foodstuffs; whereas the Council resolution of 19 June 1979 on the indication of the prices of foodstuffs and non-food household products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities (6) invites the Commission to submit a proposal concerning the indication of the selling price and the unit price for non-food household products;
Whereas it is important to adopt measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992 at the latest;
Whereas indication of the selling price and the unit price of non-food products makes it easier for consumers to compare prices at places of sale; whereas it accordingly increases market transparency and ensures greater protection for consumers;
Whereas the obligation to indicate these prices must apply in principle to all non-food products offered to the final consumer; whereas this obligation must also apply to written or printed advertising and catalogues wherever these give the selling prices of the products;
Whereas the selling price and the unit price must be indicated in accordance with specific procedures for each category of products so as not to place an undue burden on the retailer as regards labelling;
Whereas the obligation to indicate the unit price may be waived by Member States for products in respect of which such indication would meaningless;
Whereas, in the case of pre-packaged products, the obligation to indicate the unit price should, wherever possible, be replaced by standardization of quantities; whereas account should be taken of the progress made as regards the standardization at Community level of quantity ranges for products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities and provision should therefore be made for the exemption of ranges of quantities so standardized;
Whereas Council Directive 80/232/EEC (7), as last amended by Directive 87/356/EEC (8), lays down the ranges of nominal quantities and nominal capacities permitted for certain pre-packaged products;
Whereas the rules laid down in this Directive are aimed at informing and protecting consumers,
1. This Directive relates to the indication of the selling price and the price per unit of measurement of non-food products offered to the final consumer or advertised indicating the price, whether they are sold in bulk or pre-packaged in pre-established or variable quantities
2. This Directive shall not apply to:
- products bought for the purpose of a trade or commercial activity,
- products supplied in the course of the provision of a service,
- private sales,
- sales by auction and sales of works of art and antiques.

(b) 'products sold by individual item' means products which cannot be broken down without changing their nature or properties;
(c) 'pre-packaged products' means products packaged other than in the consumer's presence, whether the packaging encloses the product completely or only partially;
(d) 'products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities' means products pre-packaged in such a way that the quantity in the package corresponds to a previously selected value;
(e) 'products pre-packaged in variable quantities' means products pre-packaged in such a way that the quantity in the package does not correspond to a previously selected value;
(f) 'selling price' means the price for a given quantity of the product;
(g) 'unit price' means the price for one kilogram, one litre, one metre or one square metre of the product, subject to Article 6 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 10.
1. The products referred to in Article 1 shall bear an indication of the selling price under the conditions laid down in Article 4.
2. The products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities listed in the Annex and the products pre-packaged in variable quantities shall also bear an indication of the unit price, subject to Articles 7 to 10.
3. The unit price of products sold in bulk must be indicated. However, Member States may specify the conditions under which the selling price per piece may be indicated for certain categories of these products.
4. The selling price and the unit price shall relate to the final price of the product under the conditions laid down by the Member States.
The selling price and the unit price must be unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible. Each Member State may lay down the specific rules for such indication of prices, e.g. by means of posters, labels on shelves or on packaging.
Any written or printed advertisement and any catalogue which mentions the selling price of products referred to in Article 1 shall indicate the unit price, subject to Article 3 (2).
1. The unit price shall be expressed as a price per litre or per cubic metre for products sold by volume, as a price per kilogram or per tonne for products sold by weight, as a price per metre for products sold by length and as a price per square metre for products sold by area.
2. Member States may, however, allow the unit price to be expressed in relation to decimal multiples or fractions of the units referred to in paragraph 1, in order to take account of the quantities in which certaiun products are normally sold.
3. The unit price of pre-packaged products shall refer to the quantity declared, in accordance with national and Community provisions.
1. Member States may waive the obligation to indicate the unit price of products sold in bulk or pre-packaged for which such indication would be meaningless.
2. The products referred to in paragraph 1 include in particular:
(a) products exempted from the obligation to indicate weight or volume (in particular products sold by individual item);
(b) different products sold in a single package;
(c) products sold from automatic dispensers;
(d) products contained in a single package from which a mixture is to be prepared; (e) multipacks referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 4 of Directive 80/232/EEC, where they are made up of individual items corresponding to one of the values appearing in a Community quantity range.
1. The obligation to indicate the unit price shall not apply to the products listed in Annex I, points 5, 8.2, 8.3, 8.5, 8.6, 9, 10 and 11 to Directive 80/232/EEC, where they are sold in the ranges of nominal quantities of contents given in the said Annex.
2. The obligation to indicate the unit price may be waived by the Member States for:
- the products listed in Annex I, points 4, 6, 7, 8.1 and 8.4 to Directive 80/232/EEC, where they are sold in the ranges of nominal quantities of contents given in the said Annex,

- the products referred to in Annex I to Directive 80/232/EEC, where they are sold in rigid containers in capacity ranges given in Annex III to the said Directive.
3. The obligation to indicate the unit price may be waived by the Member States for the pre-packaged products listed in paragraphs 1 and 2, where they are sold in quantities which are smaller than the lowest or larger than the highest values in the Community ranges.
When Community measures are adopted concerning the harmonization of ranges of quantities relating to products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities or when the ranges of quantities previously adopted are revised, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, shall amend Article 8.
0
As a transitional measure, Member States shall be allowed a period of seven years from the date of adoption of this Directie to apply the provisions of this Directive relating to the products pre-packaged in pre-established quantities referred to in the Annex.

1
1. Member States may exempt pre-packaged products which are sold by certain small retail businesses and handed directly by the seller to the purchaser from the obligation to indicate the unit price, where the indication of unit prices:
- is likely to constitute an excessive burden for such businesses, or
- appears to be impracticable owing to the number of products offered for sale, the sales area, its layout or the conditions peculiar to certain forms of trading, such as particular types of itinerant trading.
2. The exemptions referred to in paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to more stringent obligations to indicate prices existing under national provisions at the time of adoption of this Directive.
2
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within two years of its adoption. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(3),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) In mid-August 2002 considerable damage was caused, inter alia, in various candidate countries by floods in their rural areas. The Community needs to be able to respond appropriately to such exceptional natural disasters whenever they occur in candidate countries, using various instruments including the pre-accession instrument set up under Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999(4), one of its objectives being to solve priority and specific problems for the sustainable adaptation of the agricultural sector and rural areas in these countries.
(2) No special provision is included in that Regulation for actions to help restore rural areas following exceptional natural disasters.
(3) Appropriate action by the Community in the wake of such disasters is needed. These events place inter alia a considerable economic burden on the affected parties both in the public and private sectors and coincide with the preparation for accession. Under a co-financing policy instrument such as that set up under Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999, appropriate action for the relevant projects in the countries concerned should include an increase both in the rate of Community assistance and in the normal ceilings on aid intensities.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 is hereby amended as follows:
shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 8
Rate of Community contribution
1. The Community contribution may amount to up to 75 % of the total eligible public expenditure except for the following:
(a) for relevant projects under any measure where the Commission determines that exceptional natural disasters have occurred, the Community contribution may amount to up to 85 % of the total eligible public expenditure;
(b) for measures referred to in the last indent of Article 2 and Article 7(4), the Community contribution to financing may amount to up to 100 % of the total eligible cost.
2. For revenue generating investments,
(a) except those referred to in paragraph 1(a), public aid may amount to up to 50 % of the total eligible cost of which the Community contribution may amount to up to 75 %;
(b) referred to in paragraph 1(a), public aid may amount to up to 75 % of the total eligible cost of which the Community contribution may amount to up to 85 % of the public aid.
In any case the Community contribution shall comply with the ceilings on rates of aid and cumulation laid down for State aid.
3. The financial support and the payments shall be expressed in euro."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2002.

Whereas, by letter dated 22 September 1980, the United Kingdom Government has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "EG and GPAR-OMA 2 system", to be used for the electronic detection of very weak spectra and their processing, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 January 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an optical multichannel detector;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "EG and GPAR-OMA 2 system", which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom Government of 22 September 1980, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Europeån Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 30 October 2003 Vitatene Antibiotics SAU made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to place lycopene from Blakeslea trispora on the market as a novel food or novel food ingredient.
(2) On 6 April 2004 the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the proposed uses for lycopene from Blakeslea trispora are safe for human consumption.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 27 April 2004.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) Consequently, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 22 November 2004.
(6) On 21 April 2005 EFSA adopted the ‘Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies on a request from the Commission related to an application on the use of α-tocopherol-containing oil suspension of lycopene from Blakeslea trispora as a novel food ingredient’.
(7) The opinion came to the conclusion that the requested levels of use of lycopene from Blakeslea trispora would lead to an additional intake of up to about 2 mg/day. It also concluded that this additional intake was not of concern from the safety point of view.
(8) Food additives falling within the scope of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2), are excluded from the scope of Regulation (EC) No 258/97. This Decision does therefore not constitute authorisation to use lycopene from Blakeslea trispora as a food colour.
(9) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that lycopene from Blakeslea trispora in an α-tocopherol containing suspension complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Lycopene from Blakeslea trispora as specified in Annex I, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for use in foods as specified in Annex II.
The designation ‘lycopene’ shall be displayed in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs containing it or, if there is no list of ingredients, on the labelling of the product as such.
Vitatene Antibiotics SAU shall submit to the Commission, at the end of three years following the adoption of this Decision, data as to the groups of foods with lycopene from Blakeslea trispora that have been placed on the market in the EU and the corresponding use levels of this lycopene.
This Decision is addressed to Vitatene Antibiotics SAU, Avd. de Antibioticos, 59-61, 24080 Leon, Spain. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas it is only since 1 July 1992 that the Canary Islands have been subject to the provisions of the common agricultural policy, and in particular to the provisions on the suckler cow premium; whereas Article 38 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3484/93 (4), provides that the individual ceilings to the suckler cow premium for producers in the Canary Islands are to be fixed by reference to the premiums granted for the 1992 calendar year; whereas some producers have not submitted an application for the premium for 1992; whereas, in order to remedy the consequences of this situation, premium rights should be allocated to producers who apply for the premium for the first time in 1993, provided that they can prove that they produced suckler cows on the territory of the Canary Islands in 1992, within the regional ceiling set in Article 38 (4) (a) of the above Regulation;
Whereas, in order to prevent the special circumstances of the Canary Islands from leading to unfavourable treatment of producers in those islands, provision should be made for this Regulation to apply from 1 January 1993;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 38 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92:
'During the 1993 calendar year and provided the number of suckler cow premium rights allocated pursuant to the first subparagraph is less than the regional ceiling, a number of rights up to an amount equal to the difference between the two figures may be allocated to producers who, having applied for the premium for the first time in respect of the 1993 calendar year, can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that they were producers keeping suckler cows on the territory of the Canary Islands in 1992. Within the limit of the above difference, an individual limit per producer shall be fixed, taking account both of the number of eligible animals for which the premium was sought in respect of the 1993 calendar year, and of the correcting coefficients referred to in Article 4d (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1993.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto. For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 March 2006.

(3) Accordingly, certain milk processing establishments listed in Annex I to Decision 2009/861/EC may, by way of derogation from the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, process compliant and non-compliant milk provided that the processing of compliant and non-compliant milk is carried out on separate production lines. In addition, certain milk processing establishments listed in Annex II to that Decision may process non-compliant milk without separate production lines.
(4) Bulgaria sent to the Commission a revised and updated list of those milk processing establishments on 28 April 2014, 18 August 2014 and on 2 December 2014.
(5) In that list, the establishment listed at No 4 (BG 1212001 ‘S i S — 7’ EOOD) of the table set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/861/EC has been deleted as it ceased its activities.
(6) In addition, certain establishments currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC have been deleted in that revised and updated list as they are now authorised to process only compliant milk to be placed on the intra-Union market. Those establishments are listed in the table in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC at No 3 (0912016 OOD ‘Persenski’), No 8 (1612064 OOD ‘Ikay’), No 11 (2512021 ‘Keya-Komers-03’ EOOD) No 22 (BG 1612051 ET ‘Radev-Radko Radev’), No 37 (1512010 ET ‘Militsa Lazarova-90’), No 50 (BG 1112016 Mandra ‘IPZHZ’) No 51 (BG 1712042 ET ‘Madar’) No 54 (1312005 ‘Ravnogor’ OOD) No 63 (BG 2612034 ET ‘Eliksir-Petko Petev’) No 75 (2312033 ‘Balkan spetsial’ OOD) and No 79 (2612015 ET ‘Detelina 39’).
(7) Moreover, in that list, the establishments listed at No 7 (1612049 ‘Alpina-Milk’ EOOD), No 21 (BG 1612028 ET ‘Slavka Todorova’), No 23 (BG 1612066 ‘Lakti ko’ OOD) and No 71 (2012032 ‘Kiveks’ OOD) of the table set out in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC have been deleted, as they ceased their activities.
(8) Decision 2009/861/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Annexes I and II of Decision 2009/861/EC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas the markets and prices policy, based on modern farms, is the main instrument of the incomes policy in agriculture; whereas full advantage cannot be drawn from such a policy unless it is integrated into the common agricultural policy as a whole, including a dynamic social and structural policy and the application of the rules on competition contained in the Treaty;
Whereas the intervention prices for paddy rice must be fixed at a rate which takes account of the policy in respect of rice production, with a view to the uses to which it is put;
Whereas the target price for husked rice must be derived
from the intervention price for paddy rice, in accordance
with the criteria set out in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76;
Whereas, for the products referred to in this Regulation, the application of the criteria for the fixing of the different prices
and the application of the measures provided for in respect of the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture entail fixing those prices at the levels indicated below;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, prices in Spain were set at a level differing
from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, these prices should be aligned with the common prices in annual steps at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the rules on this alignment laid down give the Spanish prices set below,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, rice prices shall be as follows:
1. Community of Ten:
(a) intervention price, paddy rice:ECU 314,19 per tonne;
(b) target price, husked rice:ECU 546,88 per tonne.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (2) has been repealed and replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (3). It is appropriate to amend several provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 (4) which still contain references to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, in order to take account of this development.
(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 establishes the basic products to which certain agricultural products and products derived from the processing of basic products shall be assimilated for the purposes of granting of export refunds in accordance with that Regulation.
(3) The products which are to be assimilated to whole milk powder (Product Group 3) are listed in Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005. However, the second subparagraph of Article 3(4) allows the competent authority, on request from the party concerned, to assimilate the products listed in that paragraph to a combination of skimmed milk powder (Product Group 2), for their non-fat dry matter content, or to butter (Product Group 6), for their milk fat content when determining the refund to be paid.
(4) The rapid decrease in refund rates for whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder relative to the refund rate applicable in respect of butter raises the prospect that operators will increasingly request to avail of the provisions of the second subparagraph of Article 3(4) in order to claim refund in respect of the milk fat element of products which in the normal course would have been assimilated to whole milk powder. This prospect risks the payment of higher refund in respect of agricultural products exported in the form of Non Annex I goods than would be applicable in respect of such products exported without further processing and is therefore not consistent with Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (5) and in particular with the second subparagraph of Article 31(1) thereof.
(5) Accordingly, it is appropriate to delete the second subparagraph of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, without prejudice to the possibility of introducing a similar measure if the risk in question ceases to exist. Nevertheless, in circumstances where Commission Regulation (EC) No 61/2007 of 25 January 2007 fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products (6) has reduced to zero, with effect from 26 January 2007, the export refund rate for whole milk powder, some Member States may already have deemed that it was no longer appropriate to agree to new requests from operators to avail of the derogation provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005. In the interest of harmonising the responses of Member States to the requests received since 26 January 2007 it is useful to establish a specific date after which Member States should not agree to new request for assimilation under that provision.
(6) Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, other than for food aid operations, applications for refund certificates are valid only if a security equal to 25 % of the amount applied for has been lodged. This security is lodged so as to guarantee that the holder of the refund certificate applies for refunds equal to the amount for which the certificate has been issued on goods exported during the validity period of the refund certificate. The rate of guarantee was set at a time when the level of certificate applications was considerably greater than the amount which could be granted. Following from the ongoing reduction of refund rates payable in respect of agricultural products exported in the form of Non Annex I goods the level of certificate application has eased considerably. In the circumstances the prospect of operators lodging applications for speculative reasons has reduced. It is appropriate to reduce the level of security accordingly.
(7) Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 contains entries in twenty-one of the twenty-three languages of the Community. That Annex should also contain those entries in the two other languages, namely Irish and Maltese.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The Management Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I has not delivered an opinion in the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(a) In the first subparagraph, ‘Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001’ is replaced by:
(b) In the second subparagraph, point (c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c) Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006;’.
2. Article 3 is amended as follows:
(a) In paragraph 4, the second subparagraph is deleted.
(b) Paragraph 8 is amended as follows:
(i) In the introductory words, ‘Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001’ is replaced by ‘Regulation (EC) No 318/2006’;
(ii) Points (c) and (d) are replaced by the following:
‘(c) the products referred to in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, excluding mixtures obtained partly using products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003;
(d) the products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) and (g) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, excluding mixtures obtained partly using products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003.’.
3. In the first subparagraph of Article 43, ‘25 %’ is replaced by ‘15 %’.
4. In the first subparagraph of Article 44(4), ‘25 %’ is replaced by ‘15 %’.
5. In Annex II, footnote 4 concerning column 6, ‘Sugar, molasses or isoglucose’, is replaced by the following:
‘(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1).’.
6. In Annex III, under the description for Code NC 2905 43 00 Mannitol, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
7. Annex VIII is amended as follows:
(a) After the entry for the French language the following indent is inserted:
‘— in Irish: cearta arna n-aistriú ar ais chuig an sealbhóir ainmniúil ar an [dáta]’.
(b) After the entry for the Hungarian language the following indent is inserted:
‘— in Maltese: drittijiet li jkunu trasferiti lura lid-detentur titulari fid- [data]’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, the second subparagraph of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 shall continue to apply in respect of products having obtained, with the agreement of the relevant competent authority, the assimilation referred to in that provision before 17 February 2007 and exported under cover of refund certificates for which advanced fixing, in accordance with Article 29 of that Regulation, was requested before 1 March 2007.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 103h and 127 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 103d(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the grant of financial assistance to be capped at either 4,1 % or 4,6 % of the value of the marketed production of each producer organisation.
(2) Article 52 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 (2) lays down detailed rules on the calculation of the value of marketed production for a producer organisation. Pursuant to point (a) of paragraph 6 of that Article, a producer organisation is to invoice the marketed production of fruit and vegetables at the ‘ex-producer organisation’ stage, where applicable, as product which is packaged, prepared, or has undergone first-stage processing.
(3) Point (i) of Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 contains a definition of ‘first-stage processing’. However, that definition has given rise to difficulties of interpretation. Since legal certainty requires clear rules on the calculation of the value of marketed production, that definition should be deleted and the definition of ‘by product’ should be adapted accordingly.
(4) The calculation of the value of fruit and vegetables intended for processing has proven difficult. For control purposes and for the sake of simplification, it is appropriate to introduce a flat rate for the purposes of calculating the value of fruit and vegetables intended for processing, representing the value of the basic product, namely fruit and vegetables intended for processing, and activities which do not amount to genuine processing activities. Since the volumes of fruit and vegetables needed for the production of processed fruit and vegetables differ largely between groups of products, those differences should be reflected in the applicable flat rates.
(5) In the case of fruit and vegetables intended for processing that are transformed into processed aromatic herbs and paprika powder, it is also appropriate to introduce a flat rate for the purposes of calculating the value of fruit and vegetables intended for processing, representing only the value of the basic product.
(6) In order to ensure the smooth transition to the new system for the calculation of the value of the marketed production for fruit and vegetables intended for processing, operational programmes approved by 20 January 2010 should not be affected by the new calculation method, without prejudice to the possibility to amend those operational programmes in accordance with Articles 66 and 67 of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007. For the same reason, the value of the marketed production for the reference period of operational programmes approved after that date should be calculated under the new rules.
(7) In order to allow for more flexibility in the use of market withdrawals, it is appropriated to increase the annual margin of overrun set out in Article 80(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007.
(8) In order to facilitate free distribution, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility to allow charitable organisations and institutions to ask a symbolic contribution from the final recipients of products subjected to market withdrawals, in case those products have undergone processing.
(9) The flat-rate amounts for transport, sorting and packaging costs for free distribution of fruit and vegetables withdrawn from the market set out in Article 83(1) and Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 should be updated.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007
Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 is amended as follows:
1. Article 21(1) is amended as follows:
(a) point (h) is replaced by the following:

(b) point (i) is replaced by the following;
‘(i) “preparation” means preparatory activities such as cleaning, cutting, peeling trimming and drying of fruit and vegetables, without transforming them into processed fruit and vegetables;’;
2. Article 52 is amended as follows:
(a) the following paragraph 2a is inserted:
(a) 53 % for fruit juices;
(b) 73 % for concentrated juices;
(c) 77 % for tomato concentrate;
(d) 62 % for frozen fruit and vegetables;
(e) 48 % for canned fruit and vegetables;
(f) 70 % for canned mushrooms of the genus Agaricus;

(h) 81 % for dried fruits;
(i) 27 % for other processed fruit and vegetables;
(j) 12 % for processed aromatic herbs;
(k) 41 % for paprika powder.’;
(b) paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
(a) VAT;
(b) internal transport costs, where the distance between the centralised collection or packing points of the producer organisation and the point of distribution of the producer organisation is significant.
3. in Article 53(7), the following subparagraphs are added:
4. in Article 80(2), the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:
5. in Article 81(2), the following subparagraph is inserted after the first subparagraph:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the marketing of compound feeding stuffs (1), as last amended by Directive 96/24/EC (2), and in particular Article 10 (e) thereof,
Whereas cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have been reported in some Member States; whereas scrapie is also known to exist in some Member States; whereas BSE and scrapie agents may be transmitted by the oral route;
Whereas BSE in bovine animals is considered to originate from the use in feed of protein obtained from ruminants, constituting a vector for the transmission of agents of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and not effectively treated to inactivate such agents;
Whereas, to protect ruminants from the health risks arising from the fact that methods of treating protein could not always ensure that the agents were totally inactivated, the Commission adopted Decision 94/381/EC of 27 June 1994 concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (3), as last amended by Decision 95/60/EC (4); whereas that instrument bans the feeding to ruminants of protein obtained from mammalian tissue while laying down that some products are to be exempted given that they present no health risk;
Whereas, given the health risks associated with the feeding to ruminants of feeding stuffs containing infected protein derived from mammalian tissue and the fact that the transmission of the disease to humans cannot be ruled out, the Council decided at its meeting of 1 to 3 April 1996 to adopt additional measures to protect human and animal health;
Whereas Commission Decision 91/516/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 95/274/EC (6), establishes a list of ingredients whose use is prohibited in compound feeding stuffs;
Whereas, for practical reasons and for the sake of legal consistency, the ban on the feeding of certain protein derived from mammalian tissue to ruminants which already exists in veterinary law should accordingly be included in feeding stuffs law; whereas the list should be extended to ban the use, already at the feeding stuffs production stage, of such protein in compound feeding stuffs for ruminants;
Whereas the provisions laid down shall apply, without prejudice to more stringent provisions which some Member States may have adopted as permitted in particular by Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC of 27 November 1990 laying down the veterinary rules for the disposal and processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the prevention of pathogens in feeding stuffs of animal or fish origin and amending Directive 90/425/EEC (7), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (8);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feeding Stuffs,
The Annex to Decision 91/516/EEC is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.
The provisions laid down in the Annex shall apply without prejudice to Decision 94/381/EEC and to the provisions adopted by Member States as permitted by Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC.

opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of common wheat held by the Lithuanian intervention agency for processing into flour in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2) provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at a selling price which is not below the price recorded on the market at the place of storage or, failing that, on the nearest market, account being taken of transport costs, for an equivalent quality and for a representative quantity preventing market disturbance.
(2) Due to adverse weather conditions at the time of the 2005 harvest, the forecast quantity of common wheat in Lithuania is insufficient to meet internal demand. Moreover, Lithuania has intervention stocks of common wheat, outlets for which are hard to find and which should therefore be disposed of. Sales on the Community market may therefore be organised by tendering procedure with a view to processing the common wheat into flour.
(3) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(4) To enable checks on the particular destination of the stocks covered by tendering procedures, provision should be made for specific monitoring of the delivery of the common wheat and its processing into flour. To permit this monitoring, application of the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (3), should be made compulsory.
(5) To guarantee proper performance, tenderers should be asked to lodge a security which, in view of the nature of the operations concerned, should be fixed by derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, in particular as regards its level, which must be sufficient to guarantee the proper use of the products, and the conditions for its release, which must include proof of processing of the products into flour.
(6) It is also important that the Lithuanian intervention agency’s notification to the Commission should maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Lithuanian intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 32 000 tonnes of common wheat held by it with a view to its processing into flour.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding:
(a) Article 13(1) of that Regulation, tenders shall be drawn up by reference to the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the second paragraph of Article 10 of that Regulation, the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market.
Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) proof that the tenderer has lodged a security which, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, is set at EUR 10 per tonne;
(b) the tenderer’s written undertaking to use the common wheat for processing within the Community into flour within 60 days of its release from intervention storage and in any event before 31 August 2006 and to lodge a security of EUR 40 per tonne within two working days of the day on which the notice of award of contract is received;
(c) an undertaking to keep stock records so that checks may be carried out to ensure that the quantities of common wheat awarded have been processed on Community territory into flour.
1. The first partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 23 November 2005.
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 15.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 28 December 2005, 12 April 2006 and 24 May 2006, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial invitation to tender shall be 28 June 2006 at 15.00 (Brussels time).

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For pyridalyl the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2007/669/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Austria received on 9 October 2006 an application from Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe S.A.S. for the inclusion of the active substance pyridalyl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2007/669/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 8 January 2009.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance pyridalyl (4) on 24 May 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 13 December 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for pyridalyl.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing pyridalyl 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 use which was examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve pyridalyl.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing pyridalyl. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance pyridalyl, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing pyridalyl as an active substance by 31 December 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing pyridalyl as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 June 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing pyridalyl as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing pyridalyl as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 363/93 (2), and in particular Article 5b (4) thereof,
Whereas the Canary Islands have only been subject to the provisions of the common agricultural policy and in particular those of the ewes premium scheme since 1 July 1992; whereas Article 12 (5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1199/93 (4), provides that the individual limits to premium rights for producers in the Canary Islands are fixed by reference to the premiums granted for the 1992 marketing year; whereas certain producers did not apply for premium rights for the 1992 marketing year; whereas, in order to remedy that situation, premium rights should be allocated to producers who applied for the premium for the first time in 1993, provided they can prove that they produced sheep and/or goats on the territory of the Canary Islands in 1992, within the limit of the regional ceiling set in Article 12 (5) (a) of the above Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92:
'During the 1993 marketing year and provided the number of premium rights allocated pursuant to the above subparagraph is less than the regional ceiling mentioned above, a number of rights equal to the difference between the two figures may be allocated to producers who, having applied for the premium for the first time in respect of the 1993 marketing year, can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that they were producers of sheep and/or goats on the territory of the Canary Islands in 1992. Within the limit of the above difference, an individual limit per producer shall be fixed taking account of the number of eligible animals for which the premium was applied for in respect of the 1993 marketing year, and the correcting coefficients referred to in Article 5a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, of an external diameter exceeding 406,4 mm, originating in the People’s Republic of China
(2013/639/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
A. INITIATION
(1) On 16 February 2013, the European Commission (the ‘Commission’) initiated an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Union of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, of an external diameter exceeding 406,4 mm, originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’) and published a notice of initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) The proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged by the Defence Committee of the seamless pipes and tubes industry of the European Union (‘the complainant’), representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, of an external diameter exceeding 406,4 mm. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping of the product and of resulting material injury that was sufficient to justify the initiation.
(3) The Commission informed the complainant, other known Union producers, the known exporting producers in the PRC, possible analogue country producers, known importers, distributors, and other parties known to be concerned, and representatives of the PRC of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.
(4) The complainant, other Union producers, the exporting producers in the PRC, importers and distributors made their views known. All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(5) By a letter of 9 September 2013 to the Commission, the complainant withdrew its complaint.
(6) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, a proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.
(7) The investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the Union interest. Therefore, the Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received.

| Council Decision
of 7 October 2003
on the adoption of amendments to be made to Articles 3 and 7 of the Monetary Convention between the Italian Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Vatican City State, represented by the Holy See, and authorising the Italian Republic to give effect to these amendments
(2003/738/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 111(3) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank(2),
Whereas:
(1) Under a Monetary Convention signed on 29 December 2000 between the Italian Republic, on behalf of the European Community, and the Vatican City State, represented by the Holy See(3) (the Monetary Convention), the Vatican City State was entitled to use the euro as its official currency and to grant legal tender status to euro banknotes and coins.
(2) Under the Monetary Convention, the Vatican City State was also entitled to issue euro coins for a maximum annual face value of EUR 670000 and, for additional amounts of EUR 201000, under three special circumstances, namely in the year when the Holy See becomes vacant, in each Jubilee Year and in the year of the opening of an Ecumenical Council.
(3) An earlier Monetary Convention between the Vatican City State and the Italian Republic allowed the former to issue lira coins for a maximum annual face value of ITL 1 billion subject to a maximum annual number of 100 million coins(4).
(4) The earlier Monetary Convention also allowed the Vatican City State to mint additional lira coins for a total of ITL 300 million and, subject to a maximum number of 30 million coins, under three special circumstances, namely, in the year when the Holy See becomes vacant, in each Jubilee Year and in the year of the opening of an Ecumenical Council.
(5) The maximum number of coins which can be minted by the Vatican City State under the new Monetary Convention is lower than the maximum number of coins which was explicitly authorised by the earlier Monetary Convention, both under normal and special circumstances. It is therefore desirable to increase the face value of euro coins which the Vatican City State may issue annually and in special circumstances. The total face value of coins issued by the Vatican City State annually forms part of the ceiling of coins issued by the Italian Republic which is submitted to the European Central Bank for prior approval under Article 106(2) of the Treaty.
(6) On 3 January 2003, the Italian Republic officially requested(5) an increase in the maximum annual face value of euro coins the Vatican City State may issue under both normal and special circumstances. The new ceilings proposed by the Italian Republic fully correspond to the maximum numbers of coins which were explicitly authorised under the earlier Monetary Convention.
(7) The Italian Republic should be authorised to give effect to the amendments to the Monetary Convention,
1. The Monetary Convention shall be amended as follows:
(a) the first subparagraph of Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:"As from 1 January 2004, the Vatican City State may issue euro coins for a maximum annual face value of EUR 1000000";
(b) Article 7 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 7
In the year when the Holy See becomes vacant, the Vatican City State may issue coins, in addition to the maximum amount laid down in Article 3, totalling EUR 300000.
In each Jubilee Year, the Vatican City State may issue coins, in addition to the maximum amount laid down in Article 3, totalling EUR 300000.
In the year of the opening of an Ecumenical Council, the Vatican City State may issue coins, in addition to the maximum amount laid down in Article 3, totalling EUR 300000."
2. The Italian Republic is hereby authorised to make the necessary amendments to the Monetary Convention of behalf of the Community. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 47/2003(2), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.
(9) The Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 January 2004.
