32003R1091 | Council Regulation (EC) No 1091/2003 of 18 June 2003 amending for the second time Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 fixing for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required
| Council Regulation (EC) No 1091/2003
of 18 June 2003
amending for the second time Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 fixing for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy(1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002(2), fixes for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of stocks applicable in Community waters and for the Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required.
(2) Opportunities of fishing for capelin for the Community in Greenlandic waters are provided for in the Fourth Protocol laying down the conditions relating to fishing provided for in the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and Home Rule Government of Greenland, on the other(3). The Community receives 70 % of Greenland's share of the capelin TAC (total allowable catches) which is decided in June and available to all Member States. To enable the summer season fishing to start earlier than has been the case in recent years the Commission should be empowered to decide on the issue.
(3) In accordance with the procedure provided for in the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway(4), the Community has held consultations with the Kingdom of Norway. The delegations agreed to recommend to their respective authorities to allocate a quota of 40000 tonnes of sand eel to Norway in Community waters, while quotas of 2500 tonnes of haddock and 1500 tonnes of plaice in the North Sea are to be transferred from Norway to the Community. Furthermore it has been agreed to recommend that the Community have access to fish 48493 tonnes of Atlanto-Scandian herring in Norwegian waters north of 62° N and that Norway have access to fish 48493 tonnes of Atlanto-Scandian herring in Community waters north of 62° N, and that the share of the Community out of the jointly shared NEAFC quota for mackerel in international waters be 7520 tonnes. The necessary measures should be taken to implement the results of the consultations in Community legislation.
(4) In the Agreed Record of Conclusions of Fisheries Consultations between the European Community and Norway of 20 December 2002, it was agreed to recommend to the respective authorities to allow that 40000 tonnes of Norway pout in zone IV (Norwegian waters) be fished by the European Community as sand eel.
(5) In accordance with the procedure provided for in the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands of the other part(5), the Community has held consultations with the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands. The delegations agreed to recommend to their respective authorities that the parties have access to fish 6022 tonnes of Atlanto-Scandian herring in the waters of the other party north of 62° N. The necessary measures should be taken to implement the results of the consultations in Community legislation.
(6) While awaiting a long term management agreement on the blue whiting stock with the coastal States concerned, it is appropriate for the Community to set a quota available to all Member States at 250000 tonnes in ICES divisions I, II, V, VI, VII, XII and XIV (International waters).
(7) In January 2003 the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) adopted a TAC for northern prawn of 13000 tonnes in NAFO Division 3L for the Community. This measure should therefore be implemented by the Community.
(8) Following the Community emergency measures on closure of cod fishing with trawls for all vessels in the EC waters of the Baltic Sea from 15 April until 31 May 2003, Estonia has requested that Estonian trawl fishing be allowed in Community waters from 1 September to 15 October of this year. The Council considers it appropriate to amend Annex VI part II to Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 as necessary.
(9) Due to exceptional circumstances, Lithuania has requested the EC to give it back 800 tonnes of the herring quota which Lithuania granted to the EC to be fished in its waters for 2003, thus reducing the corresponding Community quota. In exchange, Lithuania's authorities have agreed to offer the Community 800 tonnes of herring in its waters from its national quota to be fixed by the IBSFC for the year 2004. The Council considers it appropriate to amend Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 as necessary.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 3 the following paragraph shall be added:
"4. The Commission shall fix the fishing opportunities for capelin in zones V, XIV (Greenland waters) available to the Community equal to 70 % of Greenland's share of the capelin TAC as soon as the TAC has been established. Following the transfer of 30000 tonnes to Iceland, 10000 tonnes to the Faroe Islands and 6700 tonnes to Norway, the remaining amount will be available to all Member States."
2. Annex IA is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;
3. Annex IB is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation;
4. Annex IC is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Regulation;
5. Annex ID is amended in accordance with Annex IV to this Regulation;
6. Annex IE is amended in accordance with Annex V to this Regulation;
7. Annex VI is amended in accordance with Annex VI to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 390 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Slovakia 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 point 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 27 August 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections, Slovakia requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Slovakia has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Slovakia should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage 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.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 2005/820/EC, Euratom (3) accordingly,
In Decision 2005/820/EC, Euratom the following Article 2a is inserted:
‘Article 2a
By way of derogation from Article 2 of this Decision, for the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Slovakia is authorised to use 0,16 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B (passenger transport) to Council Directive 2006/112/EC (4).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee set up by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) On 28 August 1987 the French authorities informed the Commission that imports into France of footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan had increased and were continuing to increase in such quantities and in such manner that there was, or threatened to be, serious injury to the national industry.
(2) The French request was supported by evidence regarding the trend of imports and the terms on which they were taking place, in particular concerning prices. Information had also been supplied regarding the effects of such imports on the footwear industry.
(3) Having decided, after consultations, that the evidence in its possession was sufficient to justify an investigaion, the Commission accordingly announced, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of a Community investigation in respect of imports into France of the products concerned originating in South Korea or Taiwan, and commenced the investigation.
(4) The Commission officially informed the producers and importers known to be concerned and gave all interested parties the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
Arguments were presented on behalf of the French producers by the Fédération Nationale de l'Industrie de la chaussure de France and by the European Confederation of the Footwear Industries (CEC). Information was also supplied by French importers.
(5) In the course of its investigation, the Commission endeavoured to gather and verify all the information it considered necessary. It carried out on-the-spot checks.
The Commission selected the following producers as being most representative of the various types of footwear imported.
French producers
- Adidas, Dettwiller
- Bata, Moussey-Bataville
- Bopy SA, Beaupreau
- Cadet-Roussel, Merignac
- GEP - Groupe Pasquier SA, Montfaucon
- Hoki, Ingwiller
- Imbert, Miramont de Guiyenne
- Labelle SARL, Saint-Pierre-du-Vauvray
- Ets Maudouit, Blanquefort
- Ets Norbert Moche, La Ferté Macé
- Chaussures Noel, Vitre
- Patrick International SA, Pouzauges
- Ets Rondinaud, La Rochefoucauld
- Virona, La Verrie
French importers
- Chauss Europ SA, Le Havre
- Nike France, Cergy-Pontoise
- Netter & Cie, Paris
(6) The reference period for price comparisons was 1 January to 31 December 1987.
B. Products and industries concerned
(7) The investigation concerns footwear articles falling within Common Customs Tariff heading Nos 64.01 to 64.04 and specifically those corresponding to NIMEXE codes 64.01-11 to 64.04-90 and CN codes 6401 10 to 6405 90 90.
(8) The Commission examined whether it was appropriate, in order to determine the impact on French industry of imports of footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan - which includes a high proportion of leisure and sports footwear - to classify footwear in distinct categories and to
confine the assessment of the impact of imports originating in South Korea or Taiwan to French producers of the types of footwear concerned. The Commission investigation showed that, in addition to the practical difficulties arising on account of the incompatibility of import and production statistics and the uncertain clasification of products in those statistics, classification in subcategories was not justified because the various types of footwear are interchangeable.
On account of the said interchangeability, which was clearly demonstrated in the investigation, not only do imports from South Korea and Taiwan have a particularly serious impact on French producers of leisure and sports footwear, but that impact extends also to producers of other types of footwear.
For that reason the Commission decided that the impact of the imports on French producers as a whole should be considered in order to assess the injury caused.
(9) Notwithstanding the difficulties involved in classifying the various types of footwear in distinct categories, the investigation among the producers and importers concerned and new classification possibilities showed that certain very specialized types of footwear originating in the countries in question which were imported into France or produced there in negligible quantities could be excluded from the protective measures to be introduced.
C. Footwear
(10) The recent trend of footwear imports into France is a follows:
(millions of pairs)
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // 1987 // // // // // // South Korea // 8,7 // 8,7 // 11,5 // 23,1 // Taiwan // 5,5 // 8,6 // 12,0 // 15,3 // // // // //
This has resulted in an increase in the market share of imports from South Korea from 3,5 % in 1984 to 10,1 % in 1987, and of the market share of Taiwanese imports from 2,2 % in 1984 to 6,7 % in 1987. The growth of imports from Taiwan has, however, been restrained by the national quota applied during this period to some of the types of footwear which were the subject of the inquiry.
11. Resale prices on the French market of certain types of footwear imported from South Korea and Taiwan were about 69 and 60 % respectively below the prices charged by French producers.
This undercutting has forced French producers of leisure and sports footwear and of other footwear to cut their prices to a level which does not cover their production costs and to abandon market share to South Korean and Taiwanese exporters. The French producers' market share fell from 42,5 % in 1984 to 32,0 % in 1987. The situation of the French producers has deteriorated as a result and their financial results have been adverseley affected, with most of the firms concerned making losses which increased still further during the period of investigation.
The capacity utilization rate fell in France from 87 % in 1984 to 71 % in 1987. Employment has continued to fall, from 54 153 units in 1984 to 43 362 units in 1987.
The current attempt to restructure this sector could be severely compromised by the difficulties caused by extremely aggressive competition from imports originating in South Korea or Taiwan, particularly in terms of prices, which are such as to deprive the firms concerned of the finance needed to achieve that objective.
(12) Both the increase in imports from South Korea and Taiwan and the price charged for such imports are thus a cause of material injury to the French industry concerned. In view of the substantial production capacity existing in South Korea and Taiwan and the expiry at the end of 1988 of the existing quota for imports from Taiwan, there are also grounds for believing that, in the absence of adequate protective measures, the increase in imports from South Korea and Taiwan will continue at the present rate.
In order to eliminate this injury and to prevent further injury being caused to the French producers, it is therefore advisable to adopt urgently for this market protective measures which, while taking account of the need to hinder as little as possible the harmonious development of world trade, also allow the French firms concerned to pursue the efforts to modernize. These protective measures will apply from 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1990 in the case of South Korea and from 1 January 1988 to 30 June 1990 as regards Taiwan. In the case of this latter country for the year 1988, these measures supersede the national quota in force until 31 December 1988, after adding to the products covered by this quota the other types of footwear included in the investigation, with the exception of those products referred to in paragraph 9. (13) Quantitative limits applicable to imports into France of footwear originating in Taiwan have been fixed by reference to imports into France during the last three years.
To ensure that those limits are observed, the French authorities should make imports of the products in question originating in Taiwan subject to a system of import authorizations to be issued up to the quantitative ceilings laid down by this Regulation.
(14) On being informed of the Commission's findings, the South Korean authorities undertook in a letter to the Commission to make exports of the products specified below subject from 1 July 1988 to the issue of an export certificate and to issue the certificates in such a way as to comply with the quantitative limits set out below, in respect of exports of the products concerned to France, up to and including 30 June 1990:
1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // 6401 92 to 6401 99 90 // Waterproof footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6402 19 00 6402 20 00 6402 91 to 6402 99 99 // Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6403 19 00 6403 20 00 6403 51 to 6403 99 99 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather // 6404 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials // 6405 // Other footwear // // 1.2 // South Korea: // (1 000 pairs) // Period: 1 July to 31 December 1988 1 January to 30 June 1989 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990 // 5 400 9 100 15 225
(15) In view of the measures adopted by the Government of South Korea, appropriate steps should be taken upon import of the products concerned into France to check the proper functioning of the machinery set up by the South Korean authorities to limit exports.
(16) The Commission noted during the investigation that increased penetration by imports originating in South Korea or Taiwan was not restricted to the French market. A marked increase was also observed on other Community markets, in particular the Italian market, in respect of which an investigation has already taken place, resulting in the institution of a system fo the authorization of imports into Italy of footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan (1).
However, given the particular gravity of the situation in France, it is necessary, in order to safeguard Community interests, to take measures for this market alone as a matter of urgency.
However, following requests from a number of Member States and in the light of the results of the investigation of the Italian and French markets and information forthcoming from the Community statistical surveillance of imports, the Commission intends in the near future to conduct an investigation of the overall situation of the industry Community-wide, taking account, with a view to the completion of the internal market, of the different import arrangements existing in the Member States,
1. The import into France of the products specified in paragraph 2 and originating in Taiwan shall be subject to presentation of an import authorization to be issued by the French authorities wihin the following limits:
1.2 // Taiwan: // (1 000 pairs) // Period: 1988 1989 1990 (6 months) // 14 332 15 049 7 901
2. The limits shall apply to the following products:
1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // 6401 92 to 6401 99 90 // Waterproof footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6402 19 00 6402 20 00 6402 91 to 6402 99 99 // Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6403 19 00 6403 20 00 6403 51 to 6403 99 99 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather // 6404 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials // 6405
(1) OJ No L 54, 1. 3. 1988, p. 59.
3. This import authorization shall be valid only in France. The quantitative limits are, as appropriate, to be increased by unused quantities carried over from the previous period or reduced by quantities used in advance from the quantitative limits for the following period, subject to a maximum of 6 % of the quantitative limit for the current year.
4. The import authorization referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued automatically, free of charge, within a maximum of five working days from the date of the request presented by the importer, subject to the annual quantitative limits for France.
1. The import into France of the products specified in Article 1 (2) and originating in South Korea shall be subject to presentation of an import authorization issued by the French authorities. The authorization shall be valid only in France.
2. The import authorization referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued automatically, free of charge, within a maximum of five working days from the date of presentation by the importer of the original of the export certificate corresponding to the quantities requested, issued by the South Korean authorities within the quantitative limits set for France.
This Regulation shall not prevent the import into France of products described in Article 1 (2) and originating in South Korea or Taiwan which, at the time of its entry into force, were under way to France, provided that such products cannot be delivered to any other destination.
The Community investigation into the trend of imports into France of footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan is hereby terminated.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1990 in respect of South Korea and from 1 January 1988 to 30 June 1990 in respect of Taiwan.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 560/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas, on 5 May 1986, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded a programme for the milk and milk products sector in Bavaria, which follows on that approved by Commission Decision 80/1336/EEC (3), and supplied further particulars on 16 April, 28 October and 9 December 1987;
Whereas the aims of the second programme are to rationalize and modernize the milk and milk products sector, thus safeguarding the competitiveness of the sector and enhancing the value of the products concerned; whereas it is therefore a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas, given the situation on the market for milk, approval of the programme cannot extend to investment projects:
- which provide for an increase in milk processing capacity, unless evidence is furnished to show that equivalent capacities are being closed down,
- which relate to butter, whey powder, milk powder, butteroil, lactose, casein, or caseinates,
- which relate to other products entailing EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure that cannot be justified in view of the market situation;
Whereas approval of the second programme cannot extend to investments in the manufacture of products such as certain types of cheese for which there is already surplus production capacity in the European Community;
Whereas approval of this second programme cannot extend to investments in the manufacture of products which are not listed in Annex II to the Treaty;
Whereas the second programme contains the details required under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives laid down in Article 1 thereof may be achieved in the Bavarian milk and milk products sector; whereas the schedule for implementation of the second programme does not exceed the time limit laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,
1. The second programme for the milk and milk products sector in Bavaria, which was submitted by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on 5 May 1986 and concerning which further details were provided on 16 April, 28 October and 9 December 1987 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved.
2. Approval does not extend to projects:
- which provide for an increase in milk-processing capacity, unless evidence is furnished to show that equivalent capacities are being closed down,
- which relate to butter, whey powder, milk powder, butteroil, lactose, casein or caseinates,
- which relate to other products entailing EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure that whould be unjustifiable in view of the market situation.
Approval of the second programme does not extend to investments in the manufacture of products such as certain cheeses for which there is already surplus production capacity in the European Community.
Approval of this programme does not extend to investments in the manufacture of products which are not listed in Annex II to the Treaty.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 950/68 of 28 June 1968 on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3529/87 (3), established the Common Customs Tariff on the basis of the nomenclature of the Convention of 15 December 1950 concerning the nomenclature to be used for the classification of goods in customs tariffs;
Whereas on the basis of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for the uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2055/84 (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3035/79 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2946/86 (7), laid down conditions for the entry of flue-cured Virginia type, light air-cured Burley type (including Burley hybrids), light air-cured Maryland type and fire-cured tobacco, falling within subheading 24.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 has repealed and replaced, on the one hand, Regulation (EEC) N° 950/68 in adopting the new tariff and statistical nomenclature (combined nomenclature) based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and, on the other hand, Regulation (EEC) No
97/69; whereas it is consequently appropriate, for reasons of clarity, to replace Regulation (EEC) N° 3035/79 by a new regulation taking over the new nomenclature as well as the new legal base; whereas, for the same reasons, it is appropriate to incorporate in this new text all the amendments made to date;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 refers in subheadings 2401 10 10 to 2401 10 49 and 2401 20 10 to 2401 20 49 of the combined nomenclature to flue-cured Virginia type and light air-cured Burley type (including Burley hybrids), light air-cured Maryland type and fire-cured tobacco; whereas entry under this subheading is subject to conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions; whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the combined nomenclature, provisions specifying those conditions must be laid down;
Whereas identification of the above products presents certain difficulties; whereas it can be considerably simplified if the exporting country gives an assurance that the product exported corresponds to the description of the product in question; whereas, consequently, entry of a product under the subheading mentioned above should be authorized only where such product is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which is delivered by an issuing authority recognized as such by the exporting country and which provides such assurance;
Whereas it is appropriate to provide that tobacco having the characteristics indicated in the text of subheadings 2401 10 10 to 2401 10 49 and 2401 20 10 to 2401 20 49 of the combined nomenclature shall be classified in those subheadings even if it is not accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, provided that it can be put into free circulation without payment of customs duty by virtue of another Community provision;
Whereas it is appropriate to forbid the issue or acceptance
of certificates of authenticity, especially because of the difficulties it could cause in the application on the combined
nomenclature, when various types of the abovementioned tobacco are presented in the same immediate packing;
Whereas it is appropriate to specify the form which such a certificate must take and the conditions for its use; whereas, furthermore, measures must be introduced to enable the Community to keep check upon the conditions of issue of the said certificate; whereas accordingly certain obligations should be imposed on the issuing authority;
Whereas the certificate of authenticity should be drawn up in an official Community language and, where appropriate, an official language of the exporting country;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the Nomenclature Committee,
1. The entry under subheadings 2401 10 10 to 2401 10 49 and 2401 20 10 to 2401 20 49 of the combined nomenclature of flue-cured Virginia type and light air-cured Burley type (including Burley hybrids), light air-cured Maryland type and fire-cured tobacco, shall be subject to presentation of a certificate of authenticity meeting the requirements specified in this Regulation.
However, tobacco as described in the first subparagraph which, by virtue of a Community provision, is free of customs duty at the time of its entry into free circulation, shall be classified under subheadings 2401 10 10 to 2401 10 49 and 2401 20 10 to 2401 20 49 of the combined nomenclature without a certificate of authenticity.
The aforementioned certificate may be neither issued nor accepted for the types of tobacco referred to above when more than one of them are put in the same immediate packing.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) flue-cured Virginia type tobacco means tobacco which has been cured under artificial atmospheric conditions by a process of regulating the heat and ventilation without allowing smoke and fumes to come in contact with the tobacco leaves; the colour of the cured tobacco normally ranges from lemon to very dark orange or red. Other colours and combinations of colours frequently result from variations in maturity of cultural and curing techniques;
(b) light air-cured Burley type tobacco (including Burley hybrids) means tobacco which has been cured under natural atmospheric conditions and does not carry the odour of smoke or fumes if supplemental heat or air circulation has been applied; the leaves normally range from light tan to reddish colour. Other colours and
combinations of colours frequently result from variations in maturity or cultural and curing techniques;
(c) light air-cured Maryland type tobacco means tobacco which has been cured under natural atmospheric conditions and does not carry the odour of smoke or fumes if supplemental heat or air circulation has been applied; the leaves normally range from a light-yellow to deep cherry red colour. Other colours and combinations of colours frequently result from variations in maturity or cultural and curing techniques;
(d) fire-cured tobacco means tobacco which has been cured under artificial atmospheric conditions by the use of open fires from which wood smoke has been partly absorbed by the tobacco. Fire-cured tobacco leaves are normally thicker than leaves of Burley, flue-cured, or Maryland from the corresponding stalk position. Colours normally range from yellowish-brown to very dark brown. Other colours and combinations of colours frequently result from variations in maturity or cultural and curing techniques.
1. The certificate corresponding to the specimen in Annex I shall be printed and drawn up in one of the official languages of the European Economic Community and, where appropriate, an official language of the exporting country. The size of the certificate shall be approximately 210 × 297 millimetres. The paper used shall be white and weigh not less than 40 grams per square metre.
2. Each certificate shall bear an individual serial number given by the issuing authority.
3. The customs authorities of the Member State in which the tobacco is presented may require a translation of the certificate.
The certificate shall be completed either in typescript or in manuscript. In the latter case, it must be completed in ink and block letters.
The certificate or, where the consignment has been split, a photocopy of the certificate, as provided for in Article 9, shall be presented within 24 months of the date of issue of the certificate to the customs authorities of the importing Member State, together with the goods to which it relates.
1. A certificate shall be valid only if it is duly authenticated by an authority appearing on the list in
Annex II.
2. A duly authenticated certificate is one which shows the place and date of issue, and bears the stamp of the issuing authority and the signature of the person or persons authorized to sign it.
1. An issuing authority can appear on the list only if:
(a) it is recognized as such by the exporting country;
(b) it undertakes to verify the particulars shown in certificates;
(c) it undertakes to provide the Commission and Member States, on request, with all appropriate information to enable an assessment to be made of the particulars shown in the certificates.
2. This list shall be revised when the condition specified in paragraph 1 (a) is no longer satisfied or when an issuing authority fails to fulfil one or more of the obligations incumbent upon it.
Invoices produced in support of declarations of entry for free circulation shall bear the serial number of the corresponding certificate.
The countries listed in Annex II shall send the Commission specimens of the stamps used by their issuing authorities and
where appropriate their authorized agents. The Commission shall forward this information to the customs authorities of the Member States.
Where a consignment is split, the original certificate shall be photocopied for each part consignment. The photocopies and the original certificate shall be presented to the customs office at which the goods are situated.
Each photocopy shall indicate the name and address of the consignee and be marked in red 'Extract valid for ... kg' (in figures and letters) together with the place and date of the splitting. These statements shall be authenticated by the customs office stamp and the signature of the customs official responsible. The original certificate shall be inscribed with the particulars relating to the splitting of the consignment and shall be retained by the competent customs office.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1462/2005
of 8 September 2005
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
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 markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 September 2005.
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 |

on the functioning of the internal market in relation to the free movement of goods among the Member States
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 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),
(1) Whereas, as provided for in Article 7a of the Treaty, the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which, in particular, the free movement of goods is ensured in accordance with Articles 30 to 36 of the Treaty;
(2) Whereas breaches of this principle, such as occur when in a given Member State the free movement of goods is obstructed by actions of private individuals, may cause grave disruption to the proper functioning of the internal market and inflict serious losses on the individuals affected;
(3) Whereas, in order to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising from the Treaty, and, in particular, to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, Member States should, on the one hand, abstain from adopting measures or engaging in conduct liable to constitute an obstacle to trade and, on the other hand, take all necessary and proportionate measures with a view to facilitating the free movement of goods in their territory;
(4) Whereas such measures must not affect the exercise of fundamental rights, including the right or freedom to strike;
(5) Whereas this Regulation does not prevent any actions which may be necessary in certain cases at Community level to respond to problems in the functioning of the internal market, taking into account, where appropriate, the application of this Regulation;
(6) Whereas Member States have exclusive competence as regards the maintenance of public order and the safeguarding of internal security as well as in determining whether, when and which measures are necessary and proportionate in order to facilitate the free movement of goods in their territory in a given situation;
(7) Whereas there should be adequate and rapid exchange of information between the Member States and the Commission on obstacles to the free movement of goods;
(8) Whereas a Member State on the territory of which obstacles to the free movement of goods occur should take all necessary and proportionate measures to restore as soon as possible the free movement of goods in their territory in order to avoid the risk that the disruption or loss in question will continue, increase or intensify and that there may be a breakdown in trade and in the contractual relations which underlie it; whereas such Member State should inform the Commission and, if requested, other Member States of the measures it has taken or intends to take in order fo fulfil this objective;
(9) Whereas the Commission, in fulfilment of its duty under the Treaty, should notify the Member State concerned of its view that a breach has occurred and the Member State should respond to that notification;
(10) Whereas the Treaty provides for no powers, other than those in Article 235 thereof, for the adoption of this Regulation,
For the purpose of this Regulation:
1. the term ‘obstacle’ shall mean an obstacle to the free movement of goods among Member States which is attributable to a Member State, whether it involves action or inaction on its part, which may constitute a breach of Articles 30 to 36 of the Treaty and which:
(a) leads to serious disruption of the free movement of goods by physically or otherwise preventing, delaying or diverting their import into, export from or transport across a Member State,
(b) causes serious loss to the individuals affected, and
(c) requires immediate action in order to prevent any continuation, increase or intensification of the disruption or loss in question;
2. the term ‘inaction’ shall cover the case when the competent authorities of a Member State, in the presence of an obstacle caused by actions taken by private individuals, fail to take all necessary and proportionate measures within their powers with a view to removing the obstacle and ensuring the free movement of goods in their territory.
This Regulation may not be interpreted as affecting in any way the exercise of fundamental rights as recognised in Member States, including the right or freedom to strike. These rights may also include the right or freedom to take other actions covered by the specific industrial relations systems in Member States.
1. When an obstacle occurs or when there is a threat thereof
(a) any Member State (whether or not it is the Member State concerned) which has relevant information shall immediately transmit it to the Commission, and
(b) the Commission shall immediately transmit to the Member States that information and any information from any other source which it may consider relevant.
2. The Member State concerned shall respond as soon as possible to requests for information from the Commission and from other Member States concerning the nature of the obstacle or threat and the action which it has taken or proposes to take. Information exchange between Member States shall also be transmitted to the Commission.
1. When an obstacle occurs, and subject to Article 2, the Member State concerned shall
(a) take all necessary and proportionate measures so that the free movement of goods is assured in the territory of the Member State in accordance with the Treaty, and
(b) inform the Commission of the actions which its authorities have taken or intend to take.
2. The Commission shall immediately transmit the information received under paragraph l(b) to the other Member States.
1. Where the Commission considers that an obstacle is occurring in a Member State, it shall notify the Member State concerned of the reasons that have led the Commission to such a conclusion and shall request the Member State to take all necessary and proportionate measures to remove the said obstacle within a period which it shall determine with reference to the urgency of the case.
2. In reaching its conclusion, the Commission shall have regard to Article 2.
3. The Commission may publish in the Official Journal of the European Communities the text of the notification which it has sent to the Member State concerned and shall immediately transmit the text to any party which requests it.
4. The Member State shall, within five working days of receipt of the text, either:
— inform the Commission of the steps which it has taken or intends to take to implement paragraph 1, or
— communicate a reasoned submission as to why there is no obstacle constituting a breach of Articles 30 to 36 of the Treaty.
5. In exceptional cases, the Commission may allow an extension of the deadline mentioned in paragraph 4 if the Member State submits a duly substantiated request and the grounds cited are deemed acceptable.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when the guide-price for adult bovine animals is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the common agricultural policy aims inter alia at ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, at guaranteeing the availability of supplies and at ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the guide-price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68;
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals, established under Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (5), is applicable for buying-in; whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix the intervention price per 100 kilograms carcase weight for the categories of animal eligible for intervention by referring to a reference quality defined in accordance with the said scale; whereas, in addition, since these are increasingly comparable in terms of their trade value, a single intervention price should be fixed for the said categories of animal and it should be maintained at the level laid down for the previous marketing year,
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the guide-price for adult bovine animals shall be ECU 200 per 100 kilograms liveweight.
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the intervention price shall be ECU 343 per 100 kilograms carcase weight for the carcases of male animals of Class R 3 of the Community scale for the classification of adult bovine animals laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1992/93 marketing year.

(2) Allocation of the quantities available to operators covered by Article 2(3) of the abovementioned Regulation is to be made in proportion to the quantities applied for.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 93 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Closer cooperation between Community tax authorities and between the latter and the Commission based on common principles is required to effectively combat excise duty fraud.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2073/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 November 2004 on administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties (3) incorporates all the provisions designed to facilitate administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties contained in Directives 77/799/EEC (4) and 92/12/EEC (5) with the exception of mutual assistance provided for by Council Directive 76/308/EEC of 15 March 1976 on mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to certain levies, duties, taxes and other measures (6).
(3) Council Directive 2004/56/EC (7) amending Directive 77/799/EEC requires Member States to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with it before 1 January 2005. These provisions apply in the field of direct taxation, certain excise duties and taxation of insurance premiums. Since the Directive 77/799/EEC will not apply to excise duties, pursuant to this Directive, as from 1 July 2005, it is not appropriate that Member States be required to adopt provisions which are bound to cease to apply within a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to allow Member States not to adopt the provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2004/56/EC concerning excise duties, without prejudice to the obligation to adopt such provisions in respect of other taxes to which Directive 77/799/EC applies.
(4) Directives 77/799/EEC and 92/12/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 77/799/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the title shall be replaced by the following title:
2. paragraph 1 of Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:
Directive 92/12/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 15a shall be deleted;
2. Article 15b shall be deleted;
3. Article 19(6) shall be deleted.
References to Directive 77/799/EEC in respect of excise duties shall be construed as being made to Regulation (EC) No 2073/2004.
References to Directive 92/12/EEC in respect of administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties shall be construed as being made to Regulation (EC) No 2073/2004.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 30 June 2005. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these provisions from 1 July 2005.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
3. By way of derogation from Article 2 of Directive 2004/56/EC, Member States are not obliged to adopt and apply the provisions needed to comply with Directive 2004/56/EC in respect of excise duties.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 42(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The third subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (2) provides that payments made in anticipation by the Member States under their own responsibility prior to approval of the rural development programmes for the period 2007–13 must be declared in the first declaration of expenditure following the adoption of the programmes. This rule is laid down for programmes not approved by 31 March 2007.
(2) A large number of programmes will not be able to be approved until after 16 October 2007. As a result, for 2007, the first year of the programming period, it will not be possible for most of the payments made in anticipation by the Member States to be covered by a declaration of expenditure in sufficient time for them to be taken into account for 2007.
(3) Therefore, in order to facilitate the financial management of the rural development programmes, a new deadline should be laid down to enable the Member States, by derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006, to make an additional, special declaration of expenditure for the payments in anticipation made by them under programmes approved by the Commission between 15 October and 12 December 2007.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
The following is hereby added to the third subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006:
‘Notwithstanding the first subparagraph of this paragraph, in the case of rural development programmes approved by the Commission between 15 October and 12 December 2007, expenditure incurred in anticipation by the paying agencies up to and including 15 October 2007 shall be the subject of a special declaration of expenditure to be made by 12 December 2007.’

Whereas pure-bred animals, being 'live animals', are included in the list in Annex II to the Treaty;
Whereas pure-bred animals are generally reared in the context of farming activities; whereas the rearing of such animals constitutes a source of income for part of the farming population and should therefore be encouraged;
Whereas specific rules for the harmonization of zootechnical legislation have been laid down at Community level for cattle, swine, sheep, goats and equidae;
Whereas, to ensure the rational development of the rearing of pure-bred animals and thus increase productivity in that sector, rules for the marketing of such animals should be laid down at Community level;
Whereas, in principle, intra-Community trade must not be prohibited, restricted or impeded;
Whereas it is appropriate that the provisions applicable to pure-bred breeding cattle should be extended to pure-bred breeding buffalo and that Directive 77/504/EEC (4) should be amended as a result;
Whereas it should be stipulated that the provisions of Directive 90/425/EEC (5) apply to this sector;
Whereas provisions should be introduced preventing pure-bred animals from being imported from third countries on terms which are more favourable than those applied within the Community,
Article 1
For the purposes of this Directive 'pure-bred animal' shall mean any animal for breeding covered by Annex II to the Treaty the trade in which has not yet been the subject of more specific Community zootechnical legislation and which is entered or registered in a register or pedigree record kept by a recognized breeders' organization or association. Article 2
Member States shall ensure that:
- the marketing of pure-bred animals and of the semen, ova and embryos thereof is not prohibited, restricted or impeded on zootechnical or pedigree grounds,
- in order to ensure that the requirement provided for in the first indent is satisfied, the criteria for approval and recognition of breeders' organizations or associations, the criteria for entry or registration in pedigree records or registers, the criteria for approval for reproduction of pure-bred animals and for the use of their semen, ova and embryos, and the certificate to be required for their marketing should be established in a non-discriminatory manner, with due regard for the principles laid down by the organization or association which maintains the register or pedigree record of the breed in question.
Pending the implementation of detailed rules for application as provided for in Article 6, national laws shall remain applicable with due regard for the general provisions of the Treaty. Article 3
In Article 1 (a) of Directive 77/504/EEC the words, 'including buffalo' shall be inserted after the term 'bovine species'. Article 4

The detailed rules for the application of this Directive shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11 of Directive 88/661/EEC (6). Article 7
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 January 1992. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3071/94 of 12 December 1994 opening a Community tariff quota for high-quality fresh, chilled or frozen meat of bovine animals falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 and for products falling within CN codes 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91 (1995) (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas Regulations (EC) No 3071/94 and (EC) No 3073/94 opened quotas for high-quality beef and veal and for buffalo meat; whereas the rules for the application of these arrangements must be established;
Whereas the exporting non-member countries have undertaken to issue certificates of authenticity guaranteeing the origin of these products; whereas the form and layout of these certificates and the procedures for using them must be specified; whereas the certificate of authenticity must be issued by an appropriate authority in a non-member country, the standing of which is such as to ensure that the special arrangements are properly applied;

Whereas in order to ensure that the importing of these meats is managed efficiently it is appropriate, as the case may be, to provide that the issuing of import licences shall be subject to verification in particular of the entries on the certificates of authenticity;
Whereas the limiting of the abovementioned scheme to the first half year entails a reduction in the period for importation; whereas as a transitional measure the latter period should therefore be extended by one month;
Whereas provision must be made for the Member States to transmit relevant information in connection with these special imports;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The tariff quota for fresh, chilled beef and veal provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3071/94 shall be allocated as follows:

32014R0913 | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 913/2014 of 21 August 2014 laying down temporary exceptional support measures for producers of peaches and nectarines
| 22.8.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 248/1
COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 913/2014
of 21 August 2014
laying down temporary exceptional support measures for producers of peaches and nectarines
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The seasonally high supply levels in peaches and nectarines and the slowdown in consumption due to adverse weather conditions at the peak of the harvest created a difficult market situation with significant price falls for those fruits. The limited storage possibility for those perishable fruits does not allow for a rapid improvement in such a situation. Furthermore, the ban announced by Russia on imports of fruits and vegetables from the Union to Russia risks to aggravate the situation in the peach and nectarine markets. Accordingly, a situation has arisen on the market which the normal measures available under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 appear to be insufficient to address.
(2) In order to prevent the existing market situation from turning into a more severe or prolonged market disturbance, urgent action is needed to provide for exceptional support measures for producers of peaches and nectarines at this stage of the harvest.
(3) Market withdrawals are an effective crisis management measure in case of surplus of fruit and vegetables due to temporary and unpredictable circumstances.
(4) In order to mitigate the impact of a sudden drop in prices this summer, the existing Union financial assistance for market withdrawals to be freely distributed to certain organisations, such as charitable organisations and schools, should be temporarily increased. Union financial assistance should therefore be granted up to a maximum of 10 % of the volume of marketed production of each producer organisation.
(5) In the light of the exceptional market disturbances and in in order to ensure that all producers of peaches and nectarines are supported by the Union, Union financial assistance should be extended to producers of peaches and nectarines who are not members of a recognised producer organisation.
(6) Producers who are not members of a producer organisation should receive 50 % of the amounts provided for under the existing Union financial assistance. However, they should fulfil the same or similar conditions as producer organisations. Therefore, in this context, they should be subject, like recognised producer organisations, to the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (2).
(7) Moreover, increased consumption of peaches and nectarines should help to stabilise the market situation more rapidly. Promotion campaigns should be used to encourage consumption. Therefore, additional Union support should be given to producer organisations as regards promotion campaigns.
(8) That additional support for promotion activities should be distributed between the Member States on the basis of their production of peaches and nectarines in 2012. Most production is concentrated in four Member States. Twenty-four Member States together account for only 3,7 % of the Union production of peaches and nectarines. In order to ensure an efficient use of the available budget, no allocation should be granted to Member States with a share of the Union production below 1 %.
(9) It should be left to the Member States concerned to determine how they will allocate the additional support provided for in this Regulation in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, except where derogations to those Regulations are provided in this Regulation.
(10) In order to have an immediate impact on the market and to contribute to stabilise prices, the temporary exceptional support measures provided for in this Regulation should apply as of the date of the announcement of those measures by the Commission on 11 August 2014,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation lays down rules for temporary exceptional support measures for peaches and nectarines of CN code 0809 30 intended for fresh consumption.
2. The support measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall cover:
(a) withdrawal operations carried out from 11 August until 30 September 2014 by producer organisations in the fruit and vegetable sector recognised in accordance with Article 154 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as well as by producers who are not members of such organisations; and
(b) promotion activities as referred to in Article 33(3)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 carried out from 11 August until 31 December 2014 by producer organisations in the fruit and vegetable sector recognised in accordance with Article 154 of that Regulation.
Financial assistance to producer organisations for withdrawals
1. For the withdrawal operations referred to in Article 1(2)(a), Union financial assistance for market withdrawals for free distribution under Article 34(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall be available for a maximum of 10 % of the volume of marketed production of each producer organisation.
2. The Union financial assistance referred to in paragraph 1 shall be available to producer organisations even if they do not provide for such market withdrawal operations in their operational programmes. Article 32(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall not apply in relation to Union financial assistance under this Article.
3. The Union financial assistance referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the ceilings referred to in Article 34(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
4. The ceiling of one third of expenditure referred to in the fourth subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the 25 % maximum ceiling for the increase of the operational fund referred to in Article 66(3)(c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall not apply in respect of expenditure incurred for withdrawal operations referred to in Article 1(2)(a) of this Regulation.
5. Expenditure incurred in accordance with this Article shall form part of the operational fund of the producer organisations.
Financial assistance to producers not being members of producer organisations
1. Union financial assistance of 50 % of the amounts set out in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall be granted in accordance with this Article to producers of fruit and vegetables who are not members of a recognised producer organisation.
2. The Union financial assistance referred to in paragraph 1 shall be available for the delivery of products which are subsequently withdrawn from the market by a producer organisation in accordance with Article 34(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, subject to respecting the lower of the ceilings set out in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3 of this Article.
3. Producers shall conclude a contract with a recognised producer organisation for the entire quantity of products to be delivered under this Article. Producer organisations shall accept all reasonable requests from producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation. Before signing the contract, the producer organisation shall verify that the quantity to be delivered under the contract does not exceed the lower of the following ceilings:
(a) 10 % of the producer's total production in 2012, on the basis of written documents of probative value to be provided by the producer; and
(b) the producer organisation's and its members' average production yield per hectare for peaches and nectarines respectively in 2012, multiplied by 10 % of the area used by the producer for the production of peaches and nectarines respectively in 2014 on the basis of written documents of probative value to be provided by the producer.
Member States shall establish a production yield for peaches and nectarines respectively to be used by producer organisations which did not market peaches and/or nectarines in 2012. In case Member States establish regional yields, the regions shall be the ones defined under Article 91(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, if applicable.
4. The Union financial assistance shall be paid to producers not being members of producer organisations by the producer organisation with which the non-member producer signed a contract in accordance with paragraph 3.
5. The amounts that correspond to the real costs incurred by the producer organisation for withdrawing the respective products shall be retained by the producer organisation. Evidence of the costs shall be provided by means of invoices.
6. Where the recognition of a producer organisation has been suspended in accordance with Article 114(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, its members shall be deemed to be producers not being members of a recognised producer organisation for the purpose of this Article.
7. The conditions for market withdrawal and the corresponding penalties for non-compliance with those conditions as laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, as well as Article 2(2) to (5) of this Regulation shall apply mutatis mutandis for the purposes of this Article.
Checks on withdrawal operations
The withdrawal operations referred to in Articles 2 and 3 shall be subject to first-level checks in accordance with Article 108 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011. The checks shall cover at least 10 % of the quantity of products withdrawn from the market and 10 % respectively of producer organisations and producers who are not members of a producer organisation who benefit from the support measures.
Additional support to producer organisations for promotion activities

(b) in case the approved requests do not exceed the maximum amount of support, the allocation coefficient shall be set at 100 %.
3. The additional support referred to in paragraph 1 shall be available to producer organisations even if they do not provide for such promotion activities in their operational programmes. Article 32(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall not apply to additional support under this Article.

of 18 October 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals
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 and the second paragraph of Article 24(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The conditions under which cereals are offered to and taken over by the intervention agencies must be as uniform as possible throughout the Community in order to avoid any discrimination between producers. Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (2) does not explicitly specify the deadline for taking over cereals offered into intervention. This deadline should be specified in order to avoid any ambiguity.
(2) Cereals of inadequate quality for use or storage should not be accepted into intervention. To this end, account should be taken of the new situation regarding intervention, in particular the long-term storage of certain cereals and its effects on product quality.
(3) Therefore, in order to protect intervention products from deterioration and to maintain their suitability for subsequent use, the quality criteria for maize set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 should be upgraded. To this end, the maximum moisture content and the maximum percentage of broken grains and grains overheated during drying should be reduced. Given the agronomic similarities of sorghum and maize, and in the interests of consistency, the same measures should be laid down for sorghum. Moreover, in the interests of consistency with the other cereals that are eligible for the intervention scheme, a new specific minimum weight criterion should be laid down for maize.
(4) The level of price increases and reductions applicable to maize and sorghum set out in Tables I, II and III of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 should also be amended accordingly.
(5) Details should be given of the information that Member States must forward to the Commission so that a fortnightly statistical report on the state of intervention stocks of cereals can be compiled.
(6) Specific information should be obtained and listed on a standard regional basis, in the interests of sound management of the cereals intervention scheme. To this end, the regional levels set out in council Regulation (EEC) No 837/90 of 26 March 1990 concerning statistical information to be supplied by the Member States on cereals production (3) should be used, and Member States should be asked to forward this information to the Commission.
(7) In the interests of sound management of the system, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic means.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The amendments provided for in this Regulation should apply to cereals offered into intervention as from 1 November 2006. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(10) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 3, point 3.9 is replaced by the following:
‘3.9. the standard method for determining the specific weight shall comply with ISO 7971/2:1995 and, in the case of maize, with the traditional methods applied.’
2. In Article 5, the following paragraph 6 is added:
3. In Article 9, points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:
‘(a) where the moisture content of cereals offered for intervention is less than 13 % for maize and sorghum and 14 % for other cereals, the price increases to be applied shall be those listed in Table I of Annex VII. Where the moisture content of these cereals offered for intervention is higher than 13 % and 14 % respectively, the price reductions to be applied shall be those listed in Table II of Annex VII;
(b) where the specific weight of cereals offered for intervention differs from the weight/volume ratio of 76 kg/hl for common wheat, 73 kg/hl for maize and 64 kg/hl for barley, the reductions to be applied shall be those listed in Table III of Annex VII.’

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3568/90 of 4 December 1990 on the introduction of transitional tariff measures for Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia until 31 December 1992 to take account of German unification
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28, 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff will be fully applicable to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic as from 3 October 1990, the date of German unification;
Whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded numerous agreements with Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia which provided for a yearly exchange of specific goods in maximum quantities or to maximum values at a zero rate of duty; whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded long-term cooperation and investment agreements with Czechoslovakia, Poland and the USSR which will give rise to reciprocal deliveries of goods at zero rates of duty for many years to come;
Whereas agreements of the first type will not be renewed after 31 December 1990 and agreements of the second type will be renegotiated at Community, German or private enterprise level, but whereas this process of renegotiation will take some time;
Whereas the maximum quantities or values mentioned in these agreements do not entail legally binding obligations between the parties; whereas non-enforcement thereof cannot therefore give rise to any compensation by the Community;
Whereas it is necessary, therefore, during a transitional period to attenuate the impact resulting from German unification on both types of agreement as otherwise serious repercussions on enterprises in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia could result and indeed the stability of the economies of these countries might be adversely affected thereby;
Whereas for these reasons it is appropriate to suspend temporarily the duties of the Common Customs Tariff for products originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia which are covered by the abovementioned agreements betwen the former German Democratic Republic and these countries, up to the maximum quantities or values laid down therein;
Whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy which are referred to in Article 39 of the Treaty permit the application of the principles pursued by this Regulation only to those products which are subject to a customs duty; whereas Community systems of reference prices or minimum prices and agricultural levies and other import charges imposed by market organizations must continue to apply; whereas, in view of the sensitivity of the markets, no exemption for the beef sector is possible;
Whereas it is appropriate, in view of the special circumstances of German unification, for the said suspension of duties to be applicable to the products concerned only in so far as they are put into free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas it is necessary to make provision for determining the origin of the goods which will be covered by the said suspension of duties;
Whereas, in view of the difficulties in applying these measures and the fact that some of their consequences are unforeseeable, it is appropriate to emphasize the
transitional character of these measures and restrict their duration to a two-year period up to 31 December 1992;
Whereas it is appropriate to provide for special measures and a procedure to put them in place, in case the temporary suspension of duties causes or threatens to cause serious injury to a branch of Community industry,
1. From 3 October 1990, the date of German unification, to 31 December 1992 import duties within the meaning of Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2144/87 of
13 July 1987 on customs debt(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4108/88(4), including the existing anti-dumping duties, shall be suspended for goods originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia covered by the agreements listed in Annexes I and II concluded between those countries and the former German Democratic Republic - the essential elements of which shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities - up to the maximum quantities or values established by the said agreements.
However, as far as agricultural products which are referred to in Annex II to the Treaty are concerned, agricultural levies and other import charges imposed pursuant to the common agricultural policy will continue to be applied; where systems of reference prices or minimum import prices exist, they must be adhered to in practice.
The exemptions referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply to beef and veal or live animals other than purebred bovine breeding animals.
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall be applicable only if:
the goods in question are released for free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and are consumed there or undergo processing conferring Community origin there(5),
a licence issued by the relevant German authorities stating that the goods in question fall within the scope of the provisions contained in paragraph 1 is submitted in support of the declaration of entry for release for free circulation.
3. The Commission and the competent German authorities shall take whatever measures are needed to ensure that the final consumption of the products in question, of the processing by which they acquire Community origin, takes place in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic.
To determine the origin of the goods referred to in
, Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/89(7), shall apply.
1. If the suspension of the Common Customs Tariff duties referred to in Article 1 causes substantial injury to Community producers of like or directly competitive products in one or more Member States, the Commission may, at the request of a Member State, restore the normal duty rate for the products concerned.
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.
2. The procedure set out in Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 of 30 June 1982 on common rules for imports from State-trading countries(8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86(9), shall be followed.
The Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council by 1 October 1991 on the operation of the system established, the quantities of the products which have benefited from it and the stage reached in the renegotiation of outstanding arrangements.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the applications lodged by Germany and Greece,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC, seed or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1987 in at least one of the Member States and which also meets the conditions laid down in Directive 70/457/EEC is, with effect from 31 December 1989, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to the variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of Directive 70/457/EEC provides that, in the cases set out in Article 15 (3), a Member State may be authorized, upon application, to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the application of Germany concerns varieties of oats of the winter type and varieties of maize with a Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) maturity class index over 350; whereas it is well known that varieties of winter oats and varieties of maize with an FAO maturity class index over 350 are not at present suitable for cultivation in Germany (Article 15 (3) (c), second case, of Directive 70/457/EEC); whereas, therefore, the application of Germany in respect of these varieties should be granted in full;
Whereas the application of Greece concerns early varieties of soya bean; whereas it is also well known that early varieties of soya bean are not at present suitable for cultivation in Greece (Article 15 (3) (c), second case, of Directive 70/457/EEC); whereas, therefore, the application of Greece in respect of these varieties should be granted in full;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing in its territory of seed of the following varieties to be listed in the 1990 Common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:

of 31 May 1988
on the extension of legal protection of topographies of semiconductor products in respect of persons from certain countries and territories
(88/311/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 87/54/EEC of 16 December 1986 on the legal protection of topographies of semiconductor products (1), and in particular Article 3 (7) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the right to protection of topographies of semiconductor products in the Community applies to persons qulifying for protection under Article 3 (1) to (5) of Directive 87/54/EEC;
Whereas the right to protection can be extended, by a Council Decision, to persons who do not benefit from protection under the said provisions;
Whereas the extension of protection should, as far as possible, be decided for the Community as a whole;
Whereas it seems appropriate at present to extend protection on an interim basis to allow time for conditions for mutual unlimited protection to be established;
Whereas one of the factors on which this Decision is based is the consideration that the countries or territories which have an appropriate legislation will continue to protect topographies of semiconductor products under their national law and make this protection available to those persons from the Member States of the Community who benefit from the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC;
Whereas another factor on which this Decision is based is the consideration that countries or territories which do not yet have appropriate legislation will provide one and will make it accessible as soon as possible to persons from the Member States of the Community benefiting from the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC,
Member States shall extend the right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC in favour of natural persons who are nationals of a country or territory listed in the Annex or who have their habitual residence in the territory of one of those countries or territories.
This extension shall also apply to companies or other legal persons of a country or territory listed in the Annex which have a real and effective industrial or commercial establishment in such a country or territory, subject to the condition that companies or other legal persons of a Member State which have a right to protection under Directive 87/54/EEC benefit from protection in the country or territory in question.
The countries and territories listed in the Annex which satisfy the conditions laid down in the second subparagraph shall be determined by the Commission and communicated to the Member States.
This Decision shall apply from 1 June 1988.
Member States shall extend the right to protection under this Decision in favour of the persons referred to in Article 1 until 7 November 1990.
Any exclusive rights acquired under this Decision shall continue to produce their effect for the period laid down under Directive 87/54/EEC.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 August 2001.

(2) The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for these products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the refund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code 0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of each of the products falling within these codes and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the world market. It is important that the Community should continue to take part in international trade in the case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN code 0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain third countries, which are traditionally importers of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take this situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of the amendments to the refund nomenclature established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (2).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to circulate freely within the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC (3), Council Directive 94/65/EC (4) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC (5).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
— Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
— Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
— Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 September 2005.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 4 May 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany 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 'Alpha - Concrete Moisture Content Measurement System', ordered on 20 February 1981 and to be used for the study of the effect of changing microclimates on structural surfaces and ensuing moisture transport in inorganic, porous and, in particular, inhomogeneous materials with a view to corrosion, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 22 October 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a measurement and calibration system; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the sensibility and the precision, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Alpha - Concrete Moisture Content Measurement System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 4 May 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas:
(1) The Community’s fishing opportunities for capelin in zones V and XIV (Greenland waters) for 2004 are laid down provisionally in Annex IC to Regulation (EC) No 2287/2003.
(2) Under the Fourth Protocol laying down the conditions relating to fishing provided for in the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and Home Rule Government of Greenland, on the other (2), the Community receives 7,7 % of the of the total allowable catch (TAC) for capelin in zones V and XIV (Greenland waters), which corresponds to 70 % of the Greenland share of the TAC.
(3) By letter of 9 July 2004, the Greenland authorities informed the Commission that the TAC for capelin for 2004 has been fixed at 335 000 tonnes. The final fishing opportunities for capelin for the Community during 2004 should therefore be fixed at 25 795 tonnes in zones V and XIV (Greenland waters).
(4) The reduction of the TAC should not lead to the result that catches legally taken before the entry into force of the present Regulation are liable to quota deductions under Article 23 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 (3), Article 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (4) or Article 26 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (5).

Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by certain Member States,
Whereas production of reproductive material of the species set out in the Annexes is at present insufficient in all Member States with the result that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met;
Whereas third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive;
Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorised to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of reproductive material of the relevant species which satisfies less stringent requirements to cover the shortage of reproductive material satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/404/EEC;
Whereas, for genetic reasons, the reproductive material must be collected at places of origin within the natural range of the relevant species and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the identity of the material;
Whereas, furthermore, reproductive material should be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the reproductive material in question;
Whereas each of the Member States should furthermore be authorised to permit the marketing in its territory of seed which satisfies less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, or, in the case of reproductive material of Populus nigra, in respect of the category, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC, if the marketing of such material has been authorised in the other Member States pursuant to this Decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Member States are authorised to permit the marketing in their territory of seed satisfying less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, as laid down in Directive 66/404/EEC, on the terms set out in Annex I hereto and on condition that the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed and the altitude at which it was collected.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 351/98 of 12 February 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 3359/93 as far as anti-dumping measures on certain imports of ferro-silicon originating in Brazil are concerned
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Previous investigations
(1) Anti-dumping measures on imports of ferro-silicon originating in Brazil have been in force since 1987 when definitive anti-dumping duties were imposed on these imports by Regulation (EEC) No 3650/87 (2), with the exception of imports from certain exporters for which either no dumping was found or undertakings had been accepted by the Commission (3).
(2) Subsequently, in May 1990 (4) and in May 1992 (5), two interim reviews of the measures covering dumping and injury were initiated at the Commissions's initiative and at the request of the Community industry respectively. As a result of the most recent of these reviews the definitive anti-dumping duty which is the subject of the present investigation was imposed in 1993 by Council Regulation (EC) No 3359/93 (6).
2. Present investigation
(3) On 4 July 1996 the Brazilian exporter Companhia Brasileira Carbureto de Calcio lodged a request for an interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to it limited to the aspects of dumping pursuant to Article 11(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the Basic Regulation). The request alleged that the continued imposition of the anti-dumping duties on its exports to the Community was no longer necessary to offset dumping since its export prices were substantially higher than those established in the investigation leading to the existing measures.
Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an interim review, the Commission published a notice of initiation (7) and commenced an investigation.
(4) Following the initiation of the review, the Commission received on 7 October 1996 a request from another exporter in Brazil, Cia. de Ferro Ligas da Bahia (Ferbasa), for its inclusion in the scope of the interim review. That company alleged that the continued imposition of the anti-dumping measures was no longer necessary to offset dumping since its present export prices had increased to a level far higher than its normal value during the period between June 1995 to June 1996.
Based on the evidence provided by that company, the Commission decided, after consulting the Advisory Committee, to accept its request and to include it in the scope of the interim review.
(5) The Commission officially advised the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review and gave all parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
(6) The Commission sent questionnaires and received detailed information from the two Brazilian exporters concerned.
(7) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of dumping and carried out investigations at the premises of the two following Brazilian exporters:
Cia. Brasileira Carbureto de Cรกlcio, Santos Dumont (Minas Gerais),
Cia. de Ferro Ligas da Bahia (Ferbasa), Pojuca (Bahia).
(8) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 1996 ('the investigation period`).
B. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION AND LIKE PRODUCT
1. Product description
(9) The product under consideration is the same as in the Regulation subject to review, i.e. ferro-silicon containing between 20 % and 96 % of silicon by weight. The product is used as a deoxidiser in steel manufacture and as an alloying component for high temperature steel alloys and sheet metal.
2. Like product
(10) It was established that the ferro-silicon sold on the Brazilian market and the ferro-silicon exported from Brazil to the Community by the two companies concerned was identical or closely resembling in terms of physical characteristics and end uses. Therefore, all these products were considered a like product in accordance with Article 1(4) of the Basic Regulation.
C. NORMAL VALUE AND EXPORT PRICE
(11) In accordance with Article 2(2) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was established on the basis of sales prices of ferro-silicon on the Brazilian domestic market since the domestic sales by each of the two Brazilian exporters concerned exceeded 5 % of their respective export sales to the Community. For one exporter all its domestic sales were used in the calculation of normal value since all these sales were found to be profitable. For the other exporter only the profitable sales were used in establishing normal value since the number of domestic sales below unit product costs constituted more than 20 % of the total domestic sales, in accordance with Article 2(4) of the Basic Regulation. The profitable sales of this second exporter represented more than 10 % of its total domestic sales.
(12) Export price was established by reference to the prices actually paid for the ferro-silicon sold for export to independent buyers in the Community, in accordance with Article 2(8) of the Basic Regulation.
D. COMPARISON
(13) The weighted average normal value was compared to the weighted average export price of all export transactions to the Community, in accordance with Article 2(11) of the Basic Regulation. The comparison was made on an ex-factory basis and at the same level of trade. For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the Basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability, i.e. transport, handling, indirect taxes and credit expenses.
E. DUMPING MARGINS
(14) The comparison as described above showed no dumping for Cia. Brasileira Carbureto de Cรกlcio and a de minimis dumping margin of 0,4 % for Cia. de Ferro Ligas da Bahia (Ferbasa).
F. REPEAL OF MEASURES
(15) In view of the findings of no dumping and respectively a de minimis dumping margin for the two Brazilian exporters concerned and as this situation is not considered to be of a short-term nature, measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 3359/93 on exports of these companies should be repealed by amending that Regulation accordingly.
(16) The Commission informed the two Brazilian exporters and the liaison committee of the European ferro-alloy industry (Euro Alliages) of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose the repeal of the measures. No comments were received,
In Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3359/93 the figures of 9,2 % and 22,8 % given as the rates of duty applicable to the Brazilian companies Cia. Brasileira Carbureto de Cรกlcio, Rio de Janeiro and Cia. de Ferro Ligas da Bahia (Ferbasa), Pojuca, Bahia, respectively, shall be replaced by the figure '0,0 %` (additional Taric codes: Cia. Brasileira Carbureto de Cรกlcio: 8729; Cia. de Ferro Ligas da Bahia (Ferbasa): 8730).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1291/94 of 30 May 1994 suspending the generalized tariff preferences for certain products originating in the Republic of Korea
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the generalized scheme of preferences has for 1994 been applied for six months from 1 January to 30 June by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93 (1) and will be automatically extended until 31 December if no new scheme has been agreed upon before 15 June;
Whereas the Republic of Korea benefits from these generalized tariff preferences;
Whereas the scheme of generalized tariff preferences is an autonomous Community scheme;
Whereas the Republic of Korea has recently implemented unilateral measures which have resulted in the raising of applied customs duties, in particular for certain products for which the European Union is a major supplier to the market of the Republic of Korea;
Whereas this action has to be considered as an aggressive trade policy measure having a direct and detrimental effect on the export interests of the European Union to the Republic of Korea, especially in the textile sector; whereas, therefore, it would be inappropriate that products originating in that country and covered by the Arrangement regarding International Trade in Textiles (MFA) should benefit from the scheme of generalized tariff preferences, as long as this situation continues,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (the Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The i2010 — European Information Society strategic framework (2) — promotes an open and competitive digital economy in the European Union and emphasises ICT as a driver of inclusion and quality of life. Development of additional means of communicating could be beneficial for work productivity and for growth in the mobile telephony market.
(2) Airborne connectivity applications are, by nature, pan-European as they will be used mostly for cross-border flights within the Community and beyond. A coordinated approach to regulate mobile communication services on aircraft (MCA services) will support the objectives of the Single Market.
(3) Harmonisation of the rules on the use of radio spectrum across the Community will facilitate timely deployment and uptake of MCA services within the Community.
(4) Commercial operation of MCA services is currently considered only for GSM systems operating in the 1 710-1 785 MHz band for uplink (terminal transmit and base station receive) and the 1 805-1 880 MHz band for downlink (base station transmit and terminal receive), in accordance with ETSI standards EN 301 502 and EN 301 511. However, in the future it may be extended to other terrestrial public mobile communication systems, operating in accordance with other standards and in other frequency bands.
(5) Pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, the Commission has given a mandate (3) to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (hereinafter the CEPT) to undertake all activities required to assess specific issues concerning technical compatibility between the operation of airborne GSM 1800 systems and a number of radio services potentially affected. This Decision is based on the technical studies undertaken by the CEPT under the EC mandate, as presented in CEPT Report 016 (4).
(6) The MCA system considered in the CEPT report consists of a network control unit (NCU) and an aircraft base transceiver station (aircraft BTS). The system is designed to ensure that signals transmitted by ground-based mobile systems are not detectable within the aircraft cabin and that the user terminals on the aircraft only transmit at a minimum level. The technical parameters for the NCU and aircraft BTS were derived from theoretical models.
(7) Spectrum use by terrestrial mobile electronic communication networks is outside the scope of this Decision. They will be addressed, inter alia, by a Commission Decision on the harmonisation of the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz frequency bands for terrestrial systems capable of providing pan-European electronic communication services.
(8) Authorisation terms and conditions for MCA services are also outside the scope of this Decision. Coordination of national authorisation conditions for MCA services is addressed by Commission Recommendation 2008/295/EC (5) pursuant to Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (the Framework Directive) (6).
(9) Equipment for MCA services covered by this Decision falls within the scope of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (7). Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of Directive 1999/5/EC for equipment used for MCA services in the European Union may be demonstrated by compliance with ETSI Harmonised Standard EN 302 480 or by using the other conformity assessment procedures set out in Directive 1999/5/EC.
(10) Issues relating to air safety are of paramount importance and no provision in this Decision should be contrary to maintaining optimum air safety conditions.
(11) MCA services may be provided only on condition that they fulfil air safety requirements via appropriate airworthiness certification and other relevant aeronautical provisions, together with electronic communication requirements. Airworthiness certificates valid for the whole Community are issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1702/2003 of 24 September 2003 laying down implementing rules for the airworthiness and environmental certification of aircraft and related products, parts and appliances, as well as for the certification of design and production organisations (8).
(12) This Decision does not address spectrum issues relating to the communication links between the aircraft, the satellite space station and the ground which are also required to provide MCA services.
(13) For the purpose of ensuring that the conditions specified in this Decision are still relevant and given the rapid changes in the radio spectrum environment, national administrations ought to monitor, where possible, use of the radio spectrum by equipment for MCA services, in order to keep this Decision under active review. Such review should take into account technological progress and verify that the initial assumptions concerning operation of MCA services are still relevant.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the technical conditions for the availability and efficient use of radio spectrum for mobile communication services on aircraft in the Community.
This Decision shall apply without prejudice to any other relevant Community provisions, in particular Regulation (EC) No 1702/2003 and Recommendation 2008/295/EC.
For the purposes of this Decision:
1. ‘mobile communication services on aircraft (MCA services)’ means electronic communication services, as defined in Article 2(c) of Directive 2002/21/EC, provided by an undertaking to enable airline passengers to use public communication networks during flight without establishing direct connections with terrestrial mobile networks;
2. ‘non-interference and non-protected basis’ means that no harmful interference may be caused to any radiocommunication service and that no claim may be made for protection of these devices against harmful interference originating from radiocommunication services;
3. ‘aircraft base transceiver station (aircraft BTS)’ means one or more mobile communication stations located in the aircraft supporting the frequency bands and systems specified in Table 1 in the Annex;
4. ‘network control unit (NCU)’ means equipment to be located in the aircraft that ensures that signals transmitted by ground-based mobile electronic communication systems listed in Table 2 in the Annex are not detectable within the cabin by raising the noise floor inside the cabin in mobile communication receive bands.
As early as possible, and no later than six months following the entry into force of this Decision, the Member States shall make the frequency bands listed in Table 1 in the Annex available for MCA services on a non-interference and non-protected basis, provided such services meet the conditions set out in the Annex.
The Member States shall set the minimum height above ground for any transmission from an MCA system in operation in accordance with section 3 of the Annex.
Member States may impose greater minimum heights of MCA operation where justified by national topographical and ground network deployment conditions. This information, supported by appropriate justification, shall be notified to the Commission within four months of adoption of this Decision and shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Member States shall keep use of spectrum by MCA services under scrutiny, in particular with regard to actual or potential harmful interference and to the continued relevance of all the conditions specified in Article 3, and shall report their findings to the Commission to allow a timely review of this Decision if necessary.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 September 2003.
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 establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 97/27/EC (2), and in particular Article 8(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Italy on 14 July 1997, which was received by the Commission on 15 July 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8(2)(c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Italy shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamps and headlamps do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dippedbeam headlamps and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamp and these new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation Nos 8, 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the three items covered by the request for exemption, i. e. the types of gas discharge lamp and the types of headlamps fitted with these types of lamp and the type of motor vehicle, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval on condition that the type of vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit;
Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology and headlamps fitted with such lamps and motor vehicles equipped with such headlamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Italy for an exemption concerning two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle is hereby approved on condition that the vehicle type concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit.

Having regard to Council Directive 85/591/EEC of 20 December 1985 concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption(1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs(2) fixes maximum limits for aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin M1 and ochratoxin A in food for infants and young children.
(2) Sampling plays a crucial part in the precision of the determination of the levels of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A. Commission Directive 98/53/EC of 16 July 1998 laying down the sampling methods and the methods of analysis for the official control of the levels of certain contaminants in foodstuffs(3) and Commission Directive 2002/26/EC of 13 March 2002 laying down the sampling methods and methods of analysis for the official control of the levels of ochratoxin A in foodstuffs(4) should be amended to include provisions related to food for infants and young children.
(3) It is of major importance that analytical results are reported and interpreted in a uniform way in order to ensure a harmonised enforcement approach across the European Union. These interpretation rules are of application for the analytical result obtained on the sample for official control. In case of analysis for defence or referee purposes, the national rules apply.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 of 17 May 1977 on the storage and movement of products bought in by an intervention agency (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1146/76 of 17 May 1976 on particular and special intervention measures for cereals (4) lays down the general rules applicable in this field;
Whereas, for the 1983/84 marketing year, the market in common wheat shows an imbalance between supply and demand which has resulted in particularly large deliveries into intervention;
Whereas the accumulation of these stocks of common wheat combined with budgetary constraints threatens to create serious disturbances in the operation of the common organization of the market, particularly at intervention level;
Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, measures have been taken to facilitate the disposal on the Community market of the stocks held by the intervention agencies; whereas these measures, which have taken the form of the sale of common wheat for use in animal feedingstuffs, are due to expire on 31 March 1984;
Whereas further outlets for disposal in this sector currently exist in the United Kingdom; whereas the stocks existing in the United Kingdom allow for such action;
Whereas the envisaged action should produce its full effect before the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year;
Whereas it is appropriate that this sale should take place in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (5) subject, however, to certain special provisions designed to ensure that the operation is conducted in conformity with the aim pursued;
Whereas, in particular, the intended use of the cereal in question calls for the fixing of special price conditions; whereas these conditions should serve to attenuate the tension on the cereals market and prevent any deterioration; whereas, moreover, in view of the fixing of special price conditions, provision should be made for a security to be lodged in order to ensure that the operators enjoying such conditions genuinely put the cereals concerned to the use provided for;
Whereas, in order to facilitate supervision of the use of the cereals to be put up for sale by the United Kingdom intervention agency, the minimum quantity to be covered by tenders should be fixed at 200 tonnes;
Whereas, moreover, where supervision is concerned, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 of 30 June 1976 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 977/84 (7), are applicable; whereas, however, it is appropriate to strengthen the said detailed rules; whereas, to this effect, provision should be made for the systematic inspection of accounts as well as on-the-spot verification, possibly based on sampling; whereas, moreover, provision should be made for the cereals in question to be treated in such a manner that they can be identified;
Whereas, in view of the special use provided for in this Regulation, Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The United Kingdom intervention agency shall put up for sale on the internal market by means of an invitation to tender about 150 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality to be used as animal feed.
2. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 shall apply to the sale provided for in paragraph 1.
The sale of the common wheat referred to in Article 1 shall take place on the basis of a standing invitation to tender.
The invitation to tender shall be open for the period April until the end of May 1984.
The United Kingdom intervention agency shall issue partial invitations to tender at least once a week.
1. By way of derogation from Article 5 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, the successful offer price must correspond to not less than 215,67 ECU per tonne during April 1984; this price shall be adjusted upwards by the amount of a monthly increase provided for in respect of the reference price during the following month.
2. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, to be admissible, tenders must be for a quantity of not less than 200 tonnes.
Without prejudice to Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, where the offer price is less than the amount given by the reference price in force during the month in which the contract is awarded, reduced by 11,62 ECU per tonne and increased by 1 %, the tender shall be valid only if accompanied by a written undertaking by the tenderer:
- to lodge, no later than two working days following the day of receipt of notification of the award of contract, a security amounting to the difference between those two prices,
- to keep a stock record showing the quantities purchased and the use to which they have been put and, in the event of sale, the name and address of the purchaser and the quantities sold.
The security shall be released only for those quantities in respect of which the successful tenderer can prove they were used in animal feedingstuffs before 1 August 1984. Such proof must be furnished not later than 31 December 1984.
The control referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 shall comprise systematic verification of accounts and on-the-spot controls. The latter may take the form of sampling.
The intervention agency concerned may treat the cereals concerned in a manner permitting their identification. The treatment must be carried out at the lowest possible cost.
Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 is hereby amended as follows:
In the Annex, part II 'Products subject to a use and/or destination other than that mentioned under I', the following point 23 and related footnote are added:
'23. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 978/84 of 10 April 1984 concerning the putting up for sale on the internal market of 150 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality held by the United Kingdom intervention agency and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (23):

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down requirements for the control of Salmonella in different poultry populations of the Member States. The requirements apply to Member States from the dates set out in Annex I to that Regulation, in particular 18 months after a target for reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella has been established.
(2) A target for such reduction applies for breeding flocks of Gallus gallus from 1 July 2005 in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 (4), for laying hens from 1 August 2006 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1168/2006 and for broilers from 1 July 2007 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 646/2007 (5).
(3) Canada, Israel, Tunisia and the United States have submitted to the Commission their control programmes for Salmonella in breeding poultry of Gallus gallus, hatching eggs thereof and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus intended for breeding. These programmes were found to provide guarantees equivalent to the guarantees provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and should therefore be approved.
(4) Commission Decision 2006/696/EC of 28 August 2006 laying down a list of third countries from which poultry, hatching eggs, day-old chicks, meat of poultry, ratites and wild game-birds, eggs and egg products and specified pathogen-free eggs may be imported into and transit through the Community and the applicable veterinary certification conditions and amending Decisions 93/342/EEC, 2000/585/EC and 2003/812/EC (6) covers imports into and transit through the Community of in particular breeding and productive poultry, hatching eggs and day-old chicks and sets out a list of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import the relevant animals and hatching eggs.
(5) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, admission to or retention on the lists of third countries provided for in Community legislation from which Member States are authorised to import the relevant animals and hatching eggs covered by that Regulation is subject to the submission to the Commission by the third country concerned of a programme equivalent to national control programmes for Salmonella to be established by the Member States, and its approval by the Commission.
(6) As a consequence of the approval of programmes, Canada, Israel, Tunisia and the United States should remain on the list set out in Decision 2006/696/EC of third countries from which the Member States are authorised to import breeding poultry of Gallus gallus, hatching eggs thereof and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus intended for breeding.
(7) Certain other third countries currently listed in Decision 2006/696/EC have not yet submitted any control programme for Salmonella to the Commission. Since requirements on breeding poultry of Gallus gallus, hatching eggs thereof and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus intended for breeding, already apply within the Community, imports of such poultry and eggs should therefore no longer be authorised from those third countries. The list of third countries or parts thereof set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Decision 2006/696/EC should be amended accordingly.
(8) In order to provide guarantees, equivalent to the requirements within the Community, third countries, from which Member States are authorised to import breeding and productive poultry of Gallus gallus hatching eggs thereof and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus, should certify that the control programme for Salmonella has been applied to the flock of origin and that that flock has been tested for the presence of Salmonella serotypes of public health significance as soon as the requirements apply to the different poultry populations in the Community.
(9) In addition, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, flocks of Gallus gallus can not be used for breeding purposes and their eggs can not be used as hatching eggs since 1 January 2007 in the Community if infected with Salmonella Enteritidis and/or Salmonella Typhimurium. Therefore, breeding poultry, day-old chicks intended for breeding and hatching eggs should only be authorised for import into the Community if the flocks of origin where tested and free of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium.
(10) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1177/2006 of 1 August 2006 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards requirements for the use of specific control methods in the framework of the national control programmes for the control of Salmonella in poultry (7) lays down certain rules for the use of antimicrobials and vaccines in the framework of the national control programmes approved by the Commission pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003.
(11) Third countries from which Member States are authorised to import breeding and productive poultry of Gallus gallus hatching eggs and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus, should certify that the specific requirements for the use of antimicrobials and vaccines provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1177/2006 have been applied as soon as the requirements apply to the different poultry populations in the Community. If antimicrobials have been used in day-old chicks for other purposes than the control of Salmonella, it should also be indicated on the certificate because such use may influence the testing for Salmonella at import.
(12) The model veterinary certificates for the import of breeding and productive poultry, day old chicks and hatching eggs in Decision 2006/696/EC should be amended accordingly. In order to avoid future amendments to the model veterinary certificates at the time when the provisions on imports in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 become applicable to productive poultry and day-old chickens, other than for breeding, the model veterinary certificates should be amended for imports of those animals as well, with a clear indication when those amendments apply to the different populations.
(13) Bulgaria and Romania acceded to the European Union on 1 January 2007. From that date, the provisions on intra-Community trade laid down in Decision 2006/696/EC apply to those new Member States. Bulgaria and Romania should therefore be deleted from the lists of third countries that are approved for imports by the Member States and set out in Part 1 of Annexes I and II to Decision 2006/696/EC.
(14) To avoid any disruption of trade, the use of veterinary certificates issued in accordance with Decision 2006/696/EC, as currently worded, should be allowed for a period of 60 days following the date of application of the present Decision.
(15) However, in order to avoid future amendments to the model veterinary certificates at the time when the provisions on imports in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 become applicable to laying hens and broilers of Gallus gallus, the model veterinary certificates should be amended for imports of those animals as well, with a clear indication when those amendments apply to the different populations. The date of application of these amendments should therefore be deferred as appropriate.
(16) Decision 2006/696/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

authorising methods for grading pig carcases in the Netherlands
(notified under document number C(2005) 3234)
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(2005/627/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases is to be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) By Commission Decision 87/131/EEC (3), the use of one method for grading pig carcases in the Netherlands was authorised.
(3) Due to technical adaptations, the Government of the Netherlands has requested the Commission to authorise the use of a new formula for the apparatus HGP 2 used at present under the Decision 87/131/EEC as from 1 July 2006, and to authorise a new method for grading pig carcases, and has therefore submitted the elements required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(4) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.
(5) No modification of the apparatuses or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(6) For the sake of clarity, Decision 87/131/EEC should be repealed and replaced by a new decision.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in the Netherlands:
(a) the apparatus termed Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 2) and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;
(b) the apparatus termed VISION system (VCS 2000) and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex.
Modifications of the apparatuses or the assessment methods shall not be authorised.
Decision 87/131/EEC is hereby repealed.

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of caramel colours (E 150a-d) in beer and malt beverages
(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 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) That list may be amended in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(3) Caramel colours are food colours currently approved for use and listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. That approval takes into account the Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADI) established by the Scientific Committee for Food in 1987, 1990 and 1996.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) issued an opinion on 3 February 2011 as regards the re-evaluation of the safety of caramel colours as food additives (3). In that opinion the Authority established a group ADI of 300 mg/kg bw/day. Within this group ADI an individual ADI of 100 mg/kg bw/day was established for E 150c ammonia caramel. The Authority concluded that the anticipated dietary exposure of child and adult populations may exceed the ADIs for plain caramel (E 150a), ammonia caramel (E 150c) and sulphite ammonia caramel (E 150d).
(5) On 3 December 2012, the Authority issued a statement providing a refined exposure assessment for caramel colours E 150a, E 150c and E 150d and concluded that the anticipated dietary exposure was considerably lower than that estimated in the previous opinion (4). However, the Authority concluded that toddlers and adults could still exceed the ADI for ammonia caramel (E 150c). Whilst the ADI was only slightly exceeded (6 %) at the high levels in toddlers in one Member State, for adults the ADI was exceeded by 5-51 % in five Member States. After considering more detailed national information about the real uses of ammonia caramel (E 150c), the Member States concerned demonstrated that the actual intake is significantly lower. However, taking into account that beer is the main contributor to the exposure in adults, it is appropriate to amend the conditions of use and to establish maximum use levels for ammonia caramel (E 150c) in food subcategory 14.2.1 ‘Beer and malt beverages’ to guarantee a high level of protection of human health.
(6) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 the maximum levels for colours shall apply to the quantities of colouring principle contained in the colouring preparation unless otherwise stated. However, the complex nature and limited knowledge of chemical composition of caramel colours makes their identification in food products a challenge. Therefore, in performing official controls the competent authorities could also consider verifying the level of 2-acetyl-4-tetrahydroxy-butylimidazole, i.e. the impurity which can be analytically determined and which was taken into account in establishing an individual ADI for ammonia caramel (E 150c).
(7) An application for authorisation of the use of caramel colours (E 150a-d) in malt beverages was submitted on 4 June 2013 and was made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008.
(8) Beer is not defined in the Union legislation and the national definitions vary among the Member States. Consequently a particular product classified as beer in one Member State could be classified as malt beverage in another. Since there is a technological need for caramel colours (E 150a-d) in malt beverages and the use of caramel colours is authorised in beer only, the current situation has a negative impact on the internal market and hinders the free movement of those products. Therefore it is appropriate to rectify this situation.
(9) The common characteristic of malt beverages is the absence of malt as such in the final product and similarities in the technology and in the need for food additives with beers. There is a need for caramel colours to restore a consistent colour which has been affected by the production processes and/or to make malt beverages made from pale malts visually more appealing. Roasted malts cannot be used to provide the dark colour since they impart strong flavour which is not appropriate for those products.
(10) Malt beverages are niche products providing an alternative to products in which the use of caramel colours is currently authorised (i.e. flavoured drinks and beers). Therefore, it is not expected that the authorisation of use of caramel colours in malt beverages would have a significant impact on total exposure to caramel colours.
(11) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where such update is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the extension of use of caramel colours (E 150a-d) to malt beverages constitutes an update of that list which is not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the Authority.
(12) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(1) Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 introduces a scheme for the storage of unprocessed dried grapes and dried figs during the last two months of the respective marketing years of these products, consisting of arrangements for the approval of the storage agencies and the payment to them of storage aid and financial compensation; whereas the conditions which the storage agencies must meet in order to be approved should be laid down in particular as regards the steps that are to be taken to ensure that the products are stored properly;
(2) Whereas the requirements regarding the quality and presentation of the products offered for storage should be determined in such a way as to ensure that storage is carried out under optimum conditions and to prevent it becoming a more attractive outlet than the commercial markets; whereas these new requirements should be introduced on the expiry of a transitional period to enable production to be adapted gradually; whereas the duration of this transitional period should take account of the distinctive characteristics of each sector;
(3) Whereas, having regard to the arrangements for the payment of the aid for the cultivation of dried grapes referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 and the production aid for dried figs referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation, access to the storage arrangements should be restricted to producer organisations and, in the case of unprocessed dried grapes, to processors, given that the marketing and/or storage of these unprocessed products are undertaken by producer organisations and processors;
(4) Whereas the procedures for the sale of the products held by the storage agencies and their use should be defined in a manner that will safeguard the financial interests of the Community and give responsibility for determining the technical arrangements for the sale to the Member States;
(5) Whereas the intervals at which applications for storage aid and financial compensation are presented should be laid down; whereas intervals of one month take due account of the interests of the storage agencies without unnecessarily adding to the administrative burden of the arrangements;
(6) Whereas the provisions of this Regulation replace, by altering them in the light of changes in the law and experience gained, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 626/85 of 12 March 1985 on the purchasing, selling and storage of unprocessed dried grapes and figs by storage agencies(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1437/97(4) and of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 627/85 of 12 March 1985 on storage aid and financial compensation for unprocessed dried grapes and figs(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1922/95(6); whereas, moreover, these provisions invalidate the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3263/81 of 16 November 1981 laying down rules covering sales by tender or at prices fixed in advance of dried figs and dried grapes held by storage agencies(7), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1325/84 of 14 May 1984 laying down detailed rules for determining the financial compensation for dried figs and dried grapes for a given marketing year(8), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1707/85 of 21 June 1985 on the sale of unprocessed dried figs by storage agencies for the manufacture of alcohol(9), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85 of 15 November 1995 on the sale by way of invitation to tender of unprocessed dried grapes for specific uses(10), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 682/86 of 4 March 1986 on the sale by storage agencies of unprocessed dried grapes for the manufacture of certain condiments(11), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3937/88 of 16 December 1988 on the sale by storage agencies of unprocessed currants for the manufacture of dried grapes(12) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 913/89 of 10 April 1989 on the sale of unprocessed dried grapes by storage agencies for the manufacture of alcohol(13); whereas the above Regulations should therefore be repealed;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 30, 31 and 34(2)(c) thereof,
Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Sweden,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) The fight against the illicit production and trafficking of drugs is a matter of common concern for law enforcement and justice authorities in the Member States.
(2) The possibility of legally transmitting samples of seized controlled substances between the authorities of the Member States for the purposes of detection, investigation and prosecution of criminal offences or for the forensic analysis of samples would increase the effectiveness of the fight against the illicit production and trafficking of drugs.
(3) At present no legally binding rules exist regulating the transmission of seized controlled narcotic substance samples between the authorities of the Member States. A system should therefore be created at European Union level to allow for the legal transmission of such samples. Such system should apply to all forms of transmission of samples of seized controlled substances between Member States. Transmission should be based on agreement between the sending and the receiving Member State.
(4) Transmission should take place in a manner that is secure and guarantees that the transported samples cannot be abused,
Establishment of a system for the transmission of samples
1. This Decision establishes a system for the transmission between Member States of samples of controlled substances.
2. Transmission of samples of controlled substances (hereinafter referred to as "samples") shall be considered lawful in all Member States when it is conducted in accordance with this Decision.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision, controlled substances means:
(a) any substance, natural or synthetic, mentioned in Schedules I or II of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, and that Convention as amended by the 1972 Protocol;

(c) any substance that is subject to control measures taken pursuant to Article 5(1) of Joint Action 97/396/JHA of 16 June 1997 concerning the information exchange, risk assessment and the control of new synthetic drugs(2).
National contact points
1. Each Member State shall designate a national contact point for the purposes of implementing this Decision.
2. Information concerning the designated national contact points, including subsequent modifications, shall be transmitted to the General Secretariat of the Council which shall publish the information in the Official Journal.
3. The national contact points shall, if appropriate in association with other relevant national bodies, be the sole bodies competent for authorising the transmission of samples under this Decision, notwithstanding relevant provisions on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters.
Agreement to transmit samples and acknowledgement of receipt
1. The national contact point of the Member State intending to send a sample and the national contact point of the Member State intended to receive a sample shall agree on the transport before the transmission takes place. For this purpose they shall make use of the Sample Transmission Form set out in the Annex.
2. Where transmission of a sample involves transportation through the territory of another Member State (hereinafter referred as "transit Member State"), the national contact point of such a transit Member State shall subsequently be informed of the planned transport by the national contact point of the sending Member State. To that end, each transit Member State shall receive a copy of the duly completed Sample Transmission Form before the transmission begins.
3. The receiving Member State shall acknowledge to the sending Member State the receipt of the sample.

5. If the means of transport chosen is transport by an official of the sending or receiving Member State, that official shall not be permitted to wear a uniform. Further, he or she shall not carry out any operational tasks in connection with the transport unless this would be compatible with the applicable national legislation and agreed upon by the sending, transit or receiving Member States. When travelling by aircraft, only airline companies registered in one of the Member States shall be used.
Quantity of the sample and its use
1. A sample shall not exceed the quantity deemed necessary for law enforcement and judicial purposes or for the analysis of samples.
2. The use of the sample within the receiving Member State shall be agreed between the sending and receiving Member States, it being understood that samples can be used for detection, investigation and prosecution of criminal offences or for the forensic analysis of samples.

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),
Whereas, by Decision 90/218/EEC (3), the Council called on Member States to prohibit, until 31 December 1991, the administration of bovine somatotrophin on their territory by any means whatsoever to dairy cows in view of the fact that the effects and consequences of the administration of this product were not sufficiently clear at the time;
Whereas the time set for studying these effects and consequences has proved too short; whereas the research undertaken has only been partially completed; whereas sufficiently representative results have not yet been obtained, in particular from the point of view of animal health and welfare; whereas in-depth studies should therefore continue in order to secure the additional data needed;
Whereas the possibility of a common approach by the principal countries involved in producing, exporting and importing dairy products should be investigated; whereas, finally, further deliberation is necessary regarding some aspects of consistency with other Community policies;
Whereas, in order not to anticipate the results of the studies in question, the prohibition regarding the placing on the market and administration of bovine somatotrophin should be extended until a later date,
Decision 90/218/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
